#crm twd

[onefail-at-atime]

Alright Walking Dead fans, time to be honest.

I've started a rewatch after finishing TOWL and can't help but compare the more recent story arcs (Reapers, Commonwealth, CRM) with previous seasons. Is it just me or do the final seasons of TWD and the CRM ending in TOWL seem completely rushed?

I appreciate TOWL for being the Richonne love story that it is, but I can't help feeling as if we were missing a major part of the story development. It felt so short after Rick had been missing for a whole six years.

Part of me also wishes that we had like a 3rd season of World Beyond or even another spinoff that just focused on the CRM and how they were such a big bad entity to hold Rick, and so many others, as essentially captives. To me, it lessened the threat the army posed to Rick and Michonne and even lessened what they accomplished by overthrowing Beale and his accomplices. I would have loved to see more from Rick and Jadis when they learned of the destruction of Omaha and the discussion about the CRM's role after.

I mean, the CRM was teased in TWD, a whole arc in FTWD with Al, and then was the entire focal point of TWB! Only for the leaders to be taken down in less time than it took to defeat the Saviors or the Whisperers.

So c'mon. Indulge me, please. Am I crazy? Because TWD S1-9 seem so fleshed out while S10-11 and all of the TOWL feel like a race to the end just to get to the Dead City and Daryl Dixon spinoffs.

The CRM would have loved Troy let’s be real. They would have given him a badge and his own outpost asap!

“If you look like this, I’d hate to see the other guy.”

Maybe for CRM rick & villian unhinged fox 😂

Rick stared her silently. Calm in his features, despite the constant suppressed hate and anger- what kept him living- "This place now is under the jurisdiction of the Civic Republic Military. Further resistance will not be tolerated." He stated, eyes locked on hers. Damn, she seemed insane. Considering the situation, she was supposed to look scared or depressed, yet, she seemed to be having fun. The CRM troop that accompanied Rick had already surrounded her community, the arsenal and main buildings already taken. He had practically emptied his gun and assault rifle killing the walkers all the noise had attracted- the intention wasn't to get the place overrun, but make it a colony; maybe he still had a couple of bullets in his Magnum, but he would rather not rely on them since an emergency always seemed to show up. "This isn't my blood." Rick said with coldness, eyes so hard to read- was he saying it to scare her? Or was he just stating the truth? Indeed...if one looked closely, he seemed quite unharmed- maybe soft bruises on his temple or forehead, but nothing more. The walkers, he killed all- the humans who tried to stop him, he also killed them. Her community didn't seem to have many firearms- many weapons but most of them empty. It was rather easy for his team to conquer the place. "There's no point for you to fight me. Even if you kill me, my forces already won." He was holding his killing stick, designed by the CRM to kill walkers, he had pierced the skull of two men with that as if they were nothing- as if their heads were eggs, easily breakable. Years with limited freedom had made him colder- his feelings darker, full of hate each day more- specially after finding out his old community was gone, the woman he loved, dead- The CRM knew that Rick Grimes would be useful though, and before the worst happened, they managed to rescue his two kids- Rick Jr and Judith now lived inside the walls of the CRM, and Rick now was their dog- despite hating so much what had been done to him, the progress of the CRM meant the progress of his kids, the children that motivated him to keep living, the only reason he hadn't taken his own life in an attempt to destroy the Civic Republic Military, now he was one of the most agents of the organization- they had gotten what they wanted, and now Rick wanted to complete his missions- to take her community was important, such important water supply under those grounds, a strategic spot for the military organization.

"Surrender, or I'll kill you, and demand cooperation from the second in command- and if they don't cooperate, I'll kill them as well, until I find someone who will agree and follow my orders. It's that simple."
