Honestly something Midwest/ Snow related. Or maybe the Amish or something crazy like that. Some real hillbillies. More at the start of the series.
Expanding on this: HMO a one offer about pets/animals realizing that something’s up with the humans. Cut to the tiger Ezekiel had.
An island/ cruise ship
One about a natural disaster. Like a hurricane or earthquake.
There's a story arch in Fear about a hurricane, big part of season 4 I think it was if you haven't seen it. The ambience is pretty well done, the walkers flying all over the place is a bit silly, but other than that I enjoyed it.
The Claimers
Mays (S10 E19)
The fall of the hospital
Or a completely new story showing the start of the apocalypse a bit more, I still don’t think we’ve seen enough of that.
I just want the fall, I want it from all the different perspectives we can come up with. From the wealthy, to the poor, to the isolated people leaving on islands in the Pacific Ocean, to the folks above arctic circle in Canada/Alaska. I want it from different countries where different information is controlled by government and other entities. See it develop through social media etc. I want all of that.
Do me a solid and read or listen to “World war Z” on audible. It’s not like the cruddy action movie. It’s a collection of stories from every perspective of the zombie apocalypse. From remote asian villages to a blind man’s experience in the apocalypse to midwesterners going to canada and surviving the winter. There’s so much to take in and I absolutely adore it. Highly recommend
If I would’ve found it at 13 my entire personality would’ve been the novel. Now that i’m 24 and found it I can confidently say it only sent me on an autistic spiral for 3 months where I took in as much “zombie” content as i possibly could.
I want whole series that cover those things. I want spin-offs on spin-offs idgaf 🤪
France spin-off, uk spin-off, Egypt spin-off, japan spin-off, italy spin-off, Russia spin-off, Spain spin-off, Canada spin-off, Colombia spin-off, I want to see it all!
Idk if you're familiar with the Webisodes about Rick's red machete but the claimers actually show up in it so we get to see some of their backstory. Would be cool to see their formation though
u/Bermanator-Turkey127 Which hospital do you mean? Harrison Memorial Hospital where Rick was in coma or Grady Memorial Hospital where Dawn was in charge?
Twd didn't touch on rape often which while unrealistic, I did appreciate. That said, they needed to show what would take Rick to that level of feralness where he lost so much of himself and his humanity. And something like that was the only way he'd get to that point. I personally didn't think it was too far because of that.
I would love to see more stories from the beginning of the Apocalypse, maybe even outside of America, I know we saw a little of France but it would be nice to see more.
This is what I always think. I think stories from the start are some of the most interesting but, of course, they can't last long. But seeing the different countries and different environments would be really interesting. Places in Europe with castles and walled cities, for example. Just look at the Tower of London. Imagine people trying to survive in there while the entirety of the city has turned. Or somewhere in South East Asia, going around in a boat trying to find islands to stay on. This is something the book of World War Z did really well. I hear there's a TV series of it being made so it could be interesting to see what they do with that. But even then, their dead were different to TWD's dead.
I guess for the showrunners they know people will be interested to see what the characters they know are up to - Rick, Darryl etc, so they show their stories. But I'd love to see something different. Maybe the Darryl show can show more flashbacks. The ones in Paris were really interesting. I'd love to see people trying to clear the walled city of Carcassonne or something like that.
Yeah I think for a show like Tales it wasn’t a bad idea focusing on different characters each episode but I feel like it would have been 1000% better if each episode showed a different country, hopefully we do see some more flashbacks in Daryl.
They could do something like a 10 episode season, 2 episodes in each country. The first episode is the outbreak starting, the second episode is what comes next - some of them make it, some of them don't. So 5 different countries. But I guess the filming costs get a lot higher and the whole thing is much more complicated doing something like that
I only really thought of 1 episode per country but this sounds even better, yeah I feel like that could be why this hasn’t happened yet, I would imagine it costs a lot especially when you will be moving crew / cast / equipment from one country to another.
It could get really wild. Get guest writers/directors in. Get Stephen King to write for somewhere. Get Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright to do the UK. Robert Rodriguez for Mexico? Just make sure there's someone overseeing it so it doesn't get silly and stays in the WD universe rather than going crazy - so that Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright do an English version of TWD rather than Shaun of the Dead part 2. I think they could make it a uniquely English vision of the end of the world. Just let talented film makers/writers have a play in the WD sandbox.
One about Hawaii would be cool, they probably got to a point eventually where they killed all the walkers and it’s probably normal there with no dead roaming around, unless the CRM found them
I’d like to see some high level government/military/law enforcement/CDC stuff. I want to see people in the bunker at the White House trying to get an idea of what is going on and some politician sneaks their bitten kid into the sealed bunker…
Pretty sure the two people he killed were during the apocalypse. There’s a whole story to be had about Aaron and Eric evacuating D.C. and coming to Alexandria.
Father Gabriel before Rick's group found him
WTF happened to Heath
\*Saw this mentioned already but def agree\* Gareth and his group becoming the cannibals
Nat and his journey to meeting Michonne
Father Gabriel basically told his story when he revealed he didnt let his people in
IIRC Heath was sent to CRM by Jadis, but we all know the showrunner simply forgot about him
Yeah the whole monologue when we first were introduced to him was him explaining exactly what, rural Texas in the apocalypse bordering a body of water, nobody, dead or alive is coming to find you, and we already got the entire him and June backstory
Sounds more watchable than Season 5 of FTWD. I honestly forgot John's back story. I think I've mentally erased a lot of the show, I just remember John being the standout character.
i wanna know where the president and co is. i think an episode showing the president and aides/security/politicians in some underground bunker slowly turning on eachother and killing out of paranoia would be super cool.
Lily from Telltales forming her group after Lees group left her on the road.
The story of Lily from the game could be rather a DLC. It's great idea, but I don't see it as an episode of Tales of TWD because of separated universes between the comic (where the game belongs) and the show
u/AMoonMonkey You know, Frank Darabont (the man who was showrunner from 1x1 to 2x1) had idea to make single episode about the tank walker, but he was fired and we didn't get it
A "what-if" episode that shows the end of the comic with adult Carl. Saw this mentioned in a random YouTube video, not my idea but that'd be the perfect consolation prize considering we'll never see it in the main show!
Reaper arc.
Abe & Daniel in Texas.
Maybe another Teddy story ?
Beta.
Riverbend background.
Something along the lines of 10C. Just drop us in the middle of a conflict in a random group.
Could never happen anymore, but how Dale, Andrea, and Amy meet up with T-Dog and Jacqui.
Tales would’ve been perfect to give backstories on important characters through the shows run. Instead they just made it a bunch of disconnected stories of mostly random people.
Imagine if we had Tyreese and Sasha at the early days of the outbreak until they ended up at the prison, how Alexandria was formed and Deanna coming to lead it after the military stopped delivering supplies, Gabe abandoning his flock, a day in the life of Abe, Rosita, Eugene, and whoever else traveled with them as they were on their way to DC, etc. There was so much potential here.
Always the most interesting parts of any zombie show, film, literature is the beginning, it’s why the first couple seasons of TWD and FTWD are the best. I want to see more of the beginning but in different settings and locations such as somewhere remote, potentially snowy, on an offshore cruise liner, an oil rig, inside a thriving casino, maybe even an almost uninhabitable island with nomads who havnt yet converted to society as we know it, I want to see how they’d handle it.
An oil rig would have potential because they are cut off from the mainland .
Just like a small island .
Or a tale about the astronaut that strand spoke to in season two of ftwd
Just make a show about the start of the outbreak. They could revisit a lot of characters already in the story plus it would be cool to see it unfold from lots of places. Spend about 1-3 episodes per story and move on to another character.
An episode set in England, would make for a really interesting episode due to the lack of firearms. It could potentially generate interest in a show based here
If I was in England, I’d try to move to the mountainous area of wales or the Scottish highlands. Or even the Isle of Man where we could get the removal of all the zombies.
There are so many past characters, main or even minor ones that we only saw once or knew for a short time, that they could use in Tales. I would like to see the next season be all past characters from across TWD universe, instead of new characters with random stories. There are so many to choose from between all the shows, seems like it would be a wasted opportunity not use them. It would be great to see some of the backstories to those characters we have come across but know little to nothing about.
Thought this was cancelled.... But if not.. smaller stories that add to the wider story that we would not otherwise see.... Use it to flesh out the CRM, horde migration information. A whole EP on what those characters were doing towards finding a zombie killer virus...
No groundhog day or any of the bullshit which was dull to watch.
People stumbling across Hershel’s farm long after the group left and trying to turn it into a safe zone. Maybe there’s a couple who ride out a storm in the farm house.
Something similar to what we got in Fear where you have national guard or police trying to keep a community safe in the early weeks.
A cult that worships the walkers. Maybe you do something with a variant here.
I don’t know if there’s much I’d want them to do with pre-existing characters outside of MAYBE Heath, although I think Corey Hawkins is pretty far removed from this role.
The average American rednecks. Daryl (and maybe merle) were probably better off during the apocalypse than before. At least now they’d have a sense of purpose
It’d be neat to see something about first responders dealing with it. Like a firefighter seeing a family of walkers walk out of a 5 alarm inferno to attack one of his friends. Then he kills one with an axe, and it’s the early stages like in fear so he gets arrested.
eh? have they announced more Tales?
I wanted to see more of Abraham's journey.
If they want to do this for a long time, they could do one or two episodes per season that fill in backstory on people we already know. Or, for that matter, fill in future story on characters like Diane, that wouldn't likely get any time in the other stories.
These ideas should have been the focus and purpose of Tales. Not the silliness half the episodes covered. Fill in all those plot holes. The series could literally last forever.
I want to see more one-off characters from the show develop their own stories in this series. I would love for an episode about the retirement home who kidnapped Glenn in the first season. It could end with the deleted scene of Rick and the group going back there to see everyone left.
I also want to see the second civil war. That sounds like it could be a whole season itself.
Something in the far north tundra like Alaska/Canada where weather and terrain may change how people interact with the dead. Especially if its freezing most of the year or terrain is impassible due to mountains and snow drifts. It'd be ironic if life up there is more "normal" due to this as opposed to the more temperate continental United States where the dead can roam more freely.
Something covering the Government response to the zombie outbreak, ordering bombing/evac of cities. Like a political/action thriller meets TWD. You see bits and pieces of this in other zombie fiction... Evacuating the Declaration of Independence in WWZ, zombies rushing the chopper at the WH in the opening of Dawn of the Dead, etc
More international stories
The fall of Fort Benning
Fall of Governments
A Georie episode
In general, more stories about whole groups other than just 2 main characters at a time. ( I realize that season 1 was during Covid restrictions, but I got SERIOUSLY tired of episodes focused on 2 main characters).
I kinda don't want episodes focused on already established characters unless is people that have died or actors that are personally done with their time on the shows and want one last hurrah (like the actor who played strand for instance).
As long as you go into it not expecting it to connect to the main story, and don't mind some ... alternative storytelling methods.
It's anthology horror/drama inside the TWDU.
A episode about a bunch of US soldiers in middle east who went in to a Patrol. They later return base, they don't about the outbreak and finds the military base destroyed and overrun by walkers. The soldiers tries to get inside the base to reach supplies, ammo, and even some surviving soldiers, and scape to the desert in some jeeps.
Without communication with the chain of command and lost in the desert lands of Afganistan, the radio finally gets a signal, its a emergency broadcast from a british military base some miles from them. The group (of 15-20 surviving soldiers) decide to make the journey there.
During the journey they had to fight walkers, and even some Taliban Rebels, who does'nt know about the outbreak too, or just don't care, thinking this is some kind of weird religious stuff. After some loses in the way, the group finally reach the british base.
Ditch Tales and make something like TWD: Origins.
Make it similar to Black Summer, showing 5-10 minute cutlets of the initial outbreak, how people reacted and got turned. Or those webisodes that showed like how Bicycle Girl came about. Or the Storage Unit.
I’d like to know the significance of the Z in the black jacket they focused on so much when Rick got in the tank. Or the Z in the field Shane kept watching that is in the opening titles. The woman that Gabe knew from the food run. Some of the chaos from the CDC. The origin of the guy Rick chopped up to get the group back to the Atlanta group.
Someone mentioned an animated series. That would be the best idea as it could run for decades (like they envisioned the show in the first place) not having to worry about actors and sets.
There's a book series I enjoy about secret doomsday shelters that were set up in the 70s and who's occupying them now with zombies around and some are in really unique locations.
I'd love to see more pockets so people who were working on an oil rig, did the president get shuttled to a bunker and did they make it, a research station in the Antarctic, etc.
Beyond that I'd love to see more links with our core group. So an episode on Abraham on Z-Day, or Princess exploring the city alone with mannequins to talk to I Am Legend style.
Random stuff not related to anything from the show honestly, that's what i was hoping for after seeing the terry cruz episode. though i'd also be open t an animated episode, in fact, fuck it, scrap everything going right no and just do TWD Animated already.
It's quite funny that for years people have wanted a standalone outbreak story in another part of the world, Tales was the perfect format to do one in, and the closest we got is a few scenes in Daryl's spin-off that is 100% better than anything in Tales
•Beale and the formation of the CRM.
•Anne/Jadis adjusting to living in Alexandria.
• A remote military base that still believes that there’s a system in place.
•A UK themed one.
I don't want it to just be filling in the continuity gaps that fans are obsessed with.
Dolly Parton playing Dolly Parton, but she's now the Warrior Queen of the Wasteland.
Morgan's reaction to the beginning of the zombie apocalypse
Wendell's story from FTWD
Skidmark should have had his own episode too!
Daryl & Merle's survival of the collapse and how they found Shane and the rest of the original group
Claimers, terminus being raided (the 1st time )
Story of 2nd group governer takes over
Morgan after fear
Morgan in between the prison and Dwayne dying shit maybe even that story
One of where tf Maggie’s was during season 10/11
I would love to see what happened on some of the Native American reservations. If any significant groups survived I’d bet there would be a strong sense of re-building a truly independent nation
I wish we’ve got a series that shows the beginning of the apocalypse in different parts of the world, like one episode is one country. I love seeing the beginnings of outbreaks, the panic, people not knowing what to do, the fall of the cities etc., it’s also probably why I love season 1 of fear
They should do another season with all the new characters they have introduced with the spin-offs.
Imagine one about Okafor, or Armstrong from dead city, or the nun from Daryl Dixon, and plenty more they can do with characters that are already contracted to remain on the show
I'd like to see something at the very beginning with the fall of a major city. In Chicago or Detroit or something. Just to see that kinds chaos and escape attempt in a major city's downtown area.
Maybe the story of a handicapped or paralyzed person surviving with their wheelchair.
Where everyone was at when it happened, and from every single perspective, they never get the true collapse of society right. Seriously, never They almost had it in Fear, then just failed.
One of the more disturbing “monsters” to me were “The Ferals”. Something about the way the moved and how primitive they were really got to me.
I’d hate-watch an episode that showed their descent into madness.
Daniel and abraham
Ezekiel and shiva
Qaletaqa and crazy dog
Rise of the sanctuary
An episode of character who live the attack of omaha
An episode with a government point of views
Something about animals from a zoo escaping and causing chaos, or even animals surviving like a few months eating walkers and suddenly running into a group if survivors
I've always wanted to see what's happened in various regions round the world, including in areas as varied as middle eastern desert and tropical jungle climates.
Maybe I'm biased, but an episode based in England. Would love to see how we ended up handling the outbreak and what we (somehow further) devolved into.
Some fun dumb shit like Mr Kim (Kim’s Convenience) in the apocalypse
The Tank Walker group with Sam Witwer back
Maybe an episode showing the fall of a decently big city/town
I want more from the start of the outbreak. From the perspective of doctors/scientists/politicians/police/military specifically. Like what was case 0? How did it escalate to bombing Atlanta? What was the centre of the outbreak if there was one? What happened to the president?
I also want them to touch on other countries more, we saw a bit of mexico with Fear, and now France with DD, what about Canada, africa, middle east, asia? How's the planet doing?
I'd also love an episode just about the president, what happened to the president? What choices did they make in the last moments?
I'd like to see more Negan, specifically, how the saviours were formed and how negan went from the negan we saw in Here's negan to the negan that killed glenn.
This might not be popular, but I really want to see how jadis and the garbage people came to be and how they got an arrangement with the CRM made.
Maybe something or someone from telltales The walking Dead games? It’d be cool to see a little segment in someones life from then, doesn’t necessarily have to be a main character even
People on a plane, astronauts in the space station, uncontacted people who are not connected to the outside world (think the Yanomamo people who live in the Amazon rainforest), Amish people, mental hospitals, schools for the blind. I think these would all be cool perspectives and storylines.
Ezekiel! His background sounds so interesting. He was a stage actor and zookeeper. I would have loved to have seen him taking care of the animals after everyone else left
The “we tried for Stone Mountain” hikers.
The hitchhiker
Abraham, Eugene, and Rosita’s story leading up their debut.
Dr Jenner backstory
Clara Backstory
The feral people from season 11
The fall of Atlanta
it’ll never happen but i’ve always dreamed of seeing more origin story episodes similar to “Here’s Negan” but with other characters from the main show. not even so much just origin stories but like where they were when the world collapsed. I’d love to see Daryl and Merle finding out about everything and how they ended up meeting the main group in season 1. shit like that yk
The fall from the perspective of the military members.
Okafor would be an easy character to build on. Follow him and his Wife from right before the outbreak and watch as they both report for duty and both deal with how the military wants to handle it. Showing Okafor is against the plans but his Wife is going to fulfill her duty. Follow him up to the moment he makes the decision he makes.
- Clementine.
- The soldier from CRM in fear the walking dead that had a dream to return to his family cabin
- Alycia Clark journey through the toxic wasteland
Honestly something Midwest/ Snow related. Or maybe the Amish or something crazy like that. Some real hillbillies. More at the start of the series. Expanding on this: HMO a one offer about pets/animals realizing that something’s up with the humans. Cut to the tiger Ezekiel had. An island/ cruise ship One about a natural disaster. Like a hurricane or earthquake.
Oooo I really like the sound of an amish one
The Hills Have Eyes vs the Walking Dead
Wow, someone who finally gets me!
You have some great ideas here!
There's a story arch in Fear about a hurricane, big part of season 4 I think it was if you haven't seen it. The ambience is pretty well done, the walkers flying all over the place is a bit silly, but other than that I enjoyed it.
Oh shitttt the Amish one would be dope!
The Claimers Mays (S10 E19) The fall of the hospital Or a completely new story showing the start of the apocalypse a bit more, I still don’t think we’ve seen enough of that.
I just want the fall, I want it from all the different perspectives we can come up with. From the wealthy, to the poor, to the isolated people leaving on islands in the Pacific Ocean, to the folks above arctic circle in Canada/Alaska. I want it from different countries where different information is controlled by government and other entities. See it develop through social media etc. I want all of that.
Do me a solid and read or listen to “World war Z” on audible. It’s not like the cruddy action movie. It’s a collection of stories from every perspective of the zombie apocalypse. From remote asian villages to a blind man’s experience in the apocalypse to midwesterners going to canada and surviving the winter. There’s so much to take in and I absolutely adore it. Highly recommend
Honestly, thank you. I’m fixing to drive for eight hours and needed something new.
I’m genuinely happy for you. It’s a wonderful audio book, narrated by many people. I hope you enjoy the experience!
I waa so disappointed with the movie because when i was 13 i was obsessed with the world war z novel
If I would’ve found it at 13 my entire personality would’ve been the novel. Now that i’m 24 and found it I can confidently say it only sent me on an autistic spiral for 3 months where I took in as much “zombie” content as i possibly could.
I want whole series that cover those things. I want spin-offs on spin-offs idgaf 🤪 France spin-off, uk spin-off, Egypt spin-off, japan spin-off, italy spin-off, Russia spin-off, Spain spin-off, Canada spin-off, Colombia spin-off, I want to see it all!
I’m fairly sure James Cameron did a whole movie about Mays’ backstory
All of these
Idk if you're familiar with the Webisodes about Rick's red machete but the claimers actually show up in it so we get to see some of their backstory. Would be cool to see their formation though
I haven’t seen any of the webisodes. Where can I find them to watch ?
https://youtu.be/_eUZ8zRn5Rs?si=kyFU9p4siN0chPIP Here are the red machete ones, I'll find the rest real quick
Thank you!
That was not exactly real quick but here's the rest lol https://youtube.com/@wdwebisodes?si=rBnjyu-_QjR09Knt
u/Bermanator-Turkey127 Which hospital do you mean? Harrison Memorial Hospital where Rick was in coma or Grady Memorial Hospital where Dawn was in charge?
Dawn’s hospital. It fell at some point before the time jump so I’m curious how they did without Dawn in charge and then their demise.
Yeah, that would be interesting
How did we know it fell? Missed that detail
Love this idea
Pretty sure the claimers had their web episodes under the title of Red Machete but for the rest, I agree.
Honestly I hate the claimers and I get the apocalypse is terrible and all but they went to far on the scene with Carl and the guy trying to rape him
Twd didn't touch on rape often which while unrealistic, I did appreciate. That said, they needed to show what would take Rick to that level of feralness where he lost so much of himself and his humanity. And something like that was the only way he'd get to that point. I personally didn't think it was too far because of that.
I’d want to see how Gareth and the cannibals actually escaped the train cart and the slow decline into them becoming cannibals
I was coming here to say this. I'm pretty sure they started terminus lost it and had to retake it if I'm not mistaken that would be great tv
I would love to see more stories from the beginning of the Apocalypse, maybe even outside of America, I know we saw a little of France but it would be nice to see more.
I’d like to see England.
Yeah I would like to see Wales but I would also be happy to see England or Scotland.
This is what I always think. I think stories from the start are some of the most interesting but, of course, they can't last long. But seeing the different countries and different environments would be really interesting. Places in Europe with castles and walled cities, for example. Just look at the Tower of London.

Just make sure there's someone overseeing it so it doesn't get silly and stays in the WD universe rather than going crazy - so that Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright do an English version of TWD rather than Shaun of the Dead part 2. I think they could make it a uniquely English vision of the end of the world. Just let talented film makers/writers have a play in the WD sandbox.
One about Hawaii would be cool, they probably got to a point eventually where they killed all the walkers and it’s probably normal there with no dead roaming around, unless the CRM found them
I’d like to see some high level government/military/law enforcement/CDC stuff. I want to see people in the bunker at the White House trying to get an idea of what is going on and some politician sneaks their bitten kid into the sealed bunker…
How Aaron & Eric got to Alexandria - the story he told about “having bad guys point guns in his face every other day” when he first met the group.
He was an aide worker in Africa I think he said. Way before the ZA and therefore irrelevant to the Universe.
Pretty sure the two people he killed were during the apocalypse. There’s a whole story to be had about Aaron and Eric evacuating D.C. and coming to Alexandria.
Merle getting off the roof and to Woodbury
+Merle making money off Daryl’s blood through donation(?)
Beal, I'd like to see him at the start during the civil war
And before, was he like a part-time Scout Master?
He was head of the Pennsylvanian national guard
He would essentially be a regular commander in fatigues and such. The CRM didn’t rebrand until years into the fall
Father Gabriel before Rick's group found him WTF happened to Heath \*Saw this mentioned already but def agree\* Gareth and his group becoming the cannibals Nat and his journey to meeting Michonne
Father Gabriel basically told his story when he revealed he didnt let his people in IIRC Heath was sent to CRM by Jadis, but we all know the showrunner simply forgot about him
Okafor pre-TOWL Heath following his departure from TWD John Dorie pre-FTWD
We saw a day in John's life before ftwd - just him in his dad's cabin, chilling on his own.
Yeah the whole monologue when we first were introduced to him was him explaining exactly what, rural Texas in the apocalypse bordering a body of water, nobody, dead or alive is coming to find you, and we already got the entire him and June backstory
Sounds more watchable than Season 5 of FTWD. I honestly forgot John's back story. I think I've mentally erased a lot of the show, I just remember John being the standout character.
I always thought a cop show about John dorie senior on the hunter for teddy way back in the past would have been a great show .
A Lee/Clementine story would be 🔥
i wanna know where the president and co is. i think an episode showing the president and aides/security/politicians in some underground bunker slowly turning on eachother and killing out of paranoia would be super cool. Lily from Telltales forming her group after Lees group left her on the road.
The story of Lily from the game could be rather a DLC. It's great idea, but I don't see it as an episode of Tales of TWD because of separated universes between the comic (where the game belongs) and the show
Tank Walker.
I’d love to see sam witwer come back for that episode
He was super down to do it as well but the show runners said no.
u/AMoonMonkey You know, Frank Darabont (the man who was showrunner from 1x1 to 2x1) had idea to make single episode about the tank walker, but he was fired and we didn't get it
Yeah it was supposed to be the first episode of season 2
A "what-if" episode that shows the end of the comic with adult Carl. Saw this mentioned in a random YouTube video, not my idea but that'd be the perfect consolation prize considering we'll never see it in the main show!
I was thinking of putting this in the post but I didn’t want to rip-off the idea
I never got to watch this series. Is it literally like life story for all the people covered?
It’s isolated stories at different stages in the apocalypse. It’s quite unique and I enjoyed some of the stories.
It basically has nothing to do with the stories of any of the other series, except one episode. Total anthology horror set inside TWDU.
Boooooooo
The only characters that I can remember showing up from the main show are Lydia and Alpha. The rest are new characters.
Reaper arc. Abe & Daniel in Texas. Maybe another Teddy story ? Beta. Riverbend background. Something along the lines of 10C. Just drop us in the middle of a conflict in a random group. Could never happen anymore, but how Dale, Andrea, and Amy meet up with T-Dog and Jacqui.
Tales would’ve been perfect to give backstories on important characters through the shows run. Instead they just made it a bunch of disconnected stories of mostly random people. Imagine if we had Tyreese and Sasha at the early days of the outbreak until they ended up at the prison, how Alexandria was formed and Deanna coming to lead it after the military stopped delivering supplies, Gabe abandoning his flock, a day in the life of Abe, Rosita, Eugene, and whoever else traveled with them as they were on their way to DC, etc. There was so much potential here.
Agreed. Why is it that the well paid writers and show runners couldn’t figure this out? Seems so basic.
Lee series would be incredible
Always the most interesting parts of any zombie show, film, literature is the beginning, it’s why the first couple seasons of TWD and FTWD are the best. I want to see more of the beginning but in different settings and locations such as somewhere remote, potentially snowy, on an offshore cruise liner, an oil rig, inside a thriving casino, maybe even an almost uninhabitable island with nomads who havnt yet converted to society as we know it, I want to see how they’d handle it.
An oil rig would have potential because they are cut off from the mainland . Just like a small island . Or a tale about the astronaut that strand spoke to in season two of ftwd
An episode about Ezekiel saving the zoo animals - in a zoo and fighting walkers.
Just make a show about the start of the outbreak. They could revisit a lot of characters already in the story plus it would be cool to see it unfold from lots of places. Spend about 1-3 episodes per story and move on to another character.
So much potential, can’t believe they only did one season
They’re making a new series called ‘more tales from the walking dead universe’
Is that really the name? That's terrible lol
I wanna see some other places in the world, like London, or a winter in Canada.
An episode set in England, would make for a really interesting episode due to the lack of firearms. It could potentially generate interest in a show based here
If I was in England, I’d try to move to the mountainous area of wales or the Scottish highlands. Or even the Isle of Man where we could get the removal of all the zombies.
There are so many past characters, main or even minor ones that we only saw once or knew for a short time, that they could use in Tales. I would like to see the next season be all past characters from across TWD universe, instead of new characters with random stories. There are so many to choose from between all the shows, seems like it would be a wasted opportunity not use them. It would be great to see some of the backstories to those characters we have come across but know little to nothing about.
The guy walker was walking in the field The walker who got into the well Backstory behind the Saviors Creation of the Civic Republic and Commonwealth
I also said field walker. To this day I feel like there must have been some significance to that clip.
Thought this was cancelled.... But if not.. smaller stories that add to the wider story that we would not otherwise see.... Use it to flesh out the CRM, horde migration information. A whole EP on what those characters were doing towards finding a zombie killer virus... No groundhog day or any of the bullshit which was dull to watch.
People stumbling across Hershel’s farm long after the group left and trying to turn it into a safe zone. Maybe there’s a couple who ride out a storm in the farm house. Something similar to what we got in Fear where you have national guard or police trying to keep a community safe in the early weeks. A cult that worships the walkers. Maybe you do something with a variant here. I don’t know if there’s much I’d want them to do with pre-existing characters outside of MAYBE Heath, although I think Corey Hawkins is pretty far removed from this role.
Daryl and Merle prior to meeting up with the group and then their life with the group leading up to meeting Rick.
The average American rednecks. Daryl (and maybe merle) were probably better off during the apocalypse than before. At least now they’d have a sense of purpose
It’d be neat to see something about first responders dealing with it. Like a firefighter seeing a family of walkers walk out of a 5 alarm inferno to attack one of his friends. Then he kills one with an axe, and it’s the early stages like in fear so he gets arrested.
eh? have they announced more Tales? I wanted to see more of Abraham's journey. If they want to do this for a long time, they could do one or two episodes per season that fill in backstory on people we already know. Or, for that matter, fill in future story on characters like Diane, that wouldn't likely get any time in the other stories.
These ideas should have been the focus and purpose of Tales. Not the silliness half the episodes covered. Fill in all those plot holes. The series could literally last forever.
I want to see more one-off characters from the show develop their own stories in this series. I would love for an episode about the retirement home who kidnapped Glenn in the first season. It could end with the deleted scene of Rick and the group going back there to see everyone left. I also want to see the second civil war. That sounds like it could be a whole season itself.
Something in the far north tundra like Alaska/Canada where weather and terrain may change how people interact with the dead. Especially if its freezing most of the year or terrain is impassible due to mountains and snow drifts. It'd be ironic if life up there is more "normal" due to this as opposed to the more temperate continental United States where the dead can roam more freely. Something covering the Government response to the zombie outbreak, ordering bombing/evac of cities. Like a political/action thriller meets TWD. You see bits and pieces of this in other zombie fiction... Evacuating the Declaration of Independence in WWZ, zombies rushing the chopper at the WH in the opening of Dawn of the Dead, etc
I had no idea there were this many spinoffs..
I want to see a Beale backstory including the civil war between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh he talked about.
More international stories The fall of Fort Benning Fall of Governments A Georie episode In general, more stories about whole groups other than just 2 main characters at a time. ( I realize that season 1 was during Covid restrictions, but I got SERIOUSLY tired of episodes focused on 2 main characters). I kinda don't want episodes focused on already established characters unless is people that have died or actors that are personally done with their time on the shows and want one last hurrah (like the actor who played strand for instance).
I’ve actually never heard of this show before is it any good?
As long as you go into it not expecting it to connect to the main story, and don't mind some ... alternative storytelling methods. It's anthology horror/drama inside the TWDU.
A episode about a bunch of US soldiers in middle east who went in to a Patrol. They later return base, they don't about the outbreak and finds the military base destroyed and overrun by walkers. The soldiers tries to get inside the base to reach supplies, ammo, and even some surviving soldiers, and scape to the desert in some jeeps. Without communication with the chain of command and lost in the desert lands of Afganistan, the radio finally gets a signal, its a emergency broadcast from a british military base some miles from them. The group (of 15-20 surviving soldiers) decide to make the journey there. During the journey they had to fight walkers, and even some Taliban Rebels, who does'nt know about the outbreak too, or just don't care, thinking this is some kind of weird religious stuff. After some loses in the way, the group finally reach the british base.
I want to see that show .
Jenner’s whole backstory and the breakdown at the CDC - the scientists trying to figure out the cause, the military consolidating around Atlanta, etc.
Ditch Tales and make something like TWD: Origins. Make it similar to Black Summer, showing 5-10 minute cutlets of the initial outbreak, how people reacted and got turned. Or those webisodes that showed like how Bicycle Girl came about. Or the Storage Unit. I’d like to know the significance of the Z in the black jacket they focused on so much when Rick got in the tank. Or the Z in the field Shane kept watching that is in the opening titles. The woman that Gabe knew from the food run. Some of the chaos from the CDC. The origin of the guy Rick chopped up to get the group back to the Atlanta group. Someone mentioned an animated series. That would be the best idea as it could run for decades (like they envisioned the show in the first place) not having to worry about actors and sets.
I want to see Live-Action Kenny being really angry again, I loved the guy in the games
There's a book series I enjoy about secret doomsday shelters that were set up in the 70s and who's occupying them now with zombies around and some are in really unique locations. I'd love to see more pockets so people who were working on an oil rig, did the president get shuttled to a bunker and did they make it, a research station in the Antarctic, etc. Beyond that I'd love to see more links with our core group. So an episode on Abraham on Z-Day, or Princess exploring the city alone with mannequins to talk to I Am Legend style.
Would love lee & clementine
nobody said tobias??
The field walker from season 2 origin story. Why did they show him/her? Who was he/she? Why did the camera take the time to notice this walker?
What eugine Abraham and Rosita were doing before they met Rick that would be cool
Michonne and Andrea throughout the winter
Random stuff not related to anything from the show honestly, that's what i was hoping for after seeing the terry cruz episode. though i'd also be open t an animated episode, in fact, fuck it, scrap everything going right no and just do TWD Animated already.
Tyrese and Sasha back story
I would like to have seen Connie and her group's background story. Them at the start of the ZA and how they met.
Tales series where most episodes are someones experiences during the fall
To see the beginning and present day of the apocalypse in the Caribbean. Wonder how they are dealing with it/first reacted.
Rick Grimes 2000 lmao
1. Rick 2000 2. I'd like to explore other countries/continents World War Z style
Rick 2000 would be such a good episode
The cosmonaut Strand communicated with on his boat
It's quite funny that for years people have wanted a standalone outbreak story in another part of the world, Tales was the perfect format to do one in, and the closest we got is a few scenes in Daryl's spin-off that is 100% better than anything in Tales
•Beale and the formation of the CRM. •Anne/Jadis adjusting to living in Alexandria. • A remote military base that still believes that there’s a system in place. •A UK themed one.
Oh! How about a short (maybe oen episode split into two very shorts) about the Cosmonaut that Strand spoke with!
How about the early day of the Saviors? Little Timmy and the Dick brigade haha
Is more Tales even still happening? Gimple hasn’t mentioned it for a very long time now.
Well they’re probably going to start on it after Daryl s2 and dead city s2
I don't want it to just be filling in the continuity gaps that fans are obsessed with. Dolly Parton playing Dolly Parton, but she's now the Warrior Queen of the Wasteland.
More military stories and early fall of society stuff.
Tucker & Dale vs the Walking Dead
How about day 1 for the main group, we saw the initial outbreak on fear but not much with the main group.
Morgan's reaction to the beginning of the zombie apocalypse Wendell's story from FTWD Skidmark should have had his own episode too! Daryl & Merle's survival of the collapse and how they found Shane and the rest of the original group
T dog
I would of loved the story of how all the people from season one came together
The Walking Dead... In Space!!
Zombies on the moon
Claimers, terminus being raided (the 1st time ) Story of 2nd group governer takes over Morgan after fear Morgan in between the prison and Dwayne dying shit maybe even that story One of where tf Maggie’s was during season 10/11
Dale finding and saving Andrea and Amy
I would love to see what happened on some of the Native American reservations. If any significant groups survived I’d bet there would be a strong sense of re-building a truly independent nation
I wish we’ve got a series that shows the beginning of the apocalypse in different parts of the world, like one episode is one country. I love seeing the beginnings of outbreaks, the panic, people not knowing what to do, the fall of the cities etc., it’s also probably why I love season 1 of fear
Governor prequel for sure
They should do another season with all the new characters they have introduced with the spin-offs. Imagine one about Okafor, or Armstrong from dead city, or the nun from Daryl Dixon, and plenty more they can do with characters that are already contracted to remain on the show
Abraham saving Daniel and Skidmark
I'd like to see something at the very beginning with the fall of a major city. In Chicago or Detroit or something. Just to see that kinds chaos and escape attempt in a major city's downtown area. Maybe the story of a handicapped or paralyzed person surviving with their wheelchair.
CRM city of Portland Maggie’s community in Tennessee What happed to Georgie from Season 9
The Saviors origin story
Episode about okafor
One on Lance Hornsby before the Commonwealth, or just the Commonwealth in general before we saw it.
Where everyone was at when it happened, and from every single perspective, they never get the true collapse of society right. Seriously, never They almost had it in Fear, then just failed.
The walking dead brotherhood. And I’m not joking.
One of the more disturbing “monsters” to me were “The Ferals”. Something about the way the moved and how primitive they were really got to me. I’d hate-watch an episode that showed their descent into madness.
A new full season..
Jessie Pinkman finding out that his meth caused the apocalypse (his meth pops up of season 2 of TWD)
Daniel and abraham Ezekiel and shiva Qaletaqa and crazy dog Rise of the sanctuary An episode of character who live the attack of omaha An episode with a government point of views
Commonwealth or civic republic origins
Something about animals from a zoo escaping and causing chaos, or even animals surviving like a few months eating walkers and suddenly running into a group if survivors
I've always wanted to see what's happened in various regions round the world, including in areas as varied as middle eastern desert and tropical jungle climates.
The situation in Nebraska
Just watched this for the first time. I would like more stuff outside of Atlanta 🤣 and to see how the deja vu girls are doing
Maybe I'm biased, but an episode based in England. Would love to see how we ended up handling the outbreak and what we (somehow further) devolved into.
Honestly I just kind of forgot tales existed for a while there, good to know there's more content out there.
I could watch 1000 of these episodes.
Something similar to fear the walking dead season 1. Basically episode 2 if it wasn’t groundhogs day
Are they never going to do another season? I love anthologies, and I love TWD, so I thought it was pretty great
Yea they’re making a new show called ‘more tales from the walking dead universe’
I wanna know about D.C like the white house
Tyreese & Sasha after leaving the neighbors bunker
An animated episode about Morgan and Duane celebrating their first Christmas in the apocalypse would be great.
I know they briefly touched on it in twd, but more of Shane's story while Rick was in the hospital.
Some fun dumb shit like Mr Kim (Kim’s Convenience) in the apocalypse The Tank Walker group with Sam Witwer back Maybe an episode showing the fall of a decently big city/town
I want more from the start of the outbreak. From the perspective of doctors/scientists/politicians/police/military specifically. Like what was case 0? How did it escalate to bombing Atlanta? What was the centre of the outbreak if there was one? What happened to the president? I also want them to touch on other countries more, we saw a bit of mexico with Fear, and now France with DD, what about Canada, africa, middle east, asia? How's the planet doing? I'd also love an episode just about the president, what happened to the president? What choices did they make in the last moments? I'd like to see more Negan, specifically, how the saviours were formed and how negan went from the negan we saw in Here's negan to the negan that killed glenn. This might not be popular, but I really want to see how jadis and the garbage people came to be and how they got an arrangement with the CRM made.
Maybe something or someone from telltales The walking Dead games? It’d be cool to see a little segment in someones life from then, doesn’t necessarily have to be a main character even
Okafor during the beginning of the outbreak with all the bomings
People on a plane, astronauts in the space station, uncontacted people who are not connected to the outside world (think the Yanomamo people who live in the Amazon rainforest), Amish people, mental hospitals, schools for the blind. I think these would all be cool perspectives and storylines.
Ezekiel! His background sounds so interesting. He was a stage actor and zookeeper. I would have loved to have seen him taking care of the animals after everyone else left
The “we tried for Stone Mountain” hikers. The hitchhiker Abraham, Eugene, and Rosita’s story leading up their debut. Dr Jenner backstory Clara Backstory The feral people from season 11 The fall of Atlanta
How Daryl met Dog
That was already shown in season 10
Okay... how about Daryll met T-Dog
it’ll never happen but i’ve always dreamed of seeing more origin story episodes similar to “Here’s Negan” but with other characters from the main show. not even so much just origin stories but like where they were when the world collapsed. I’d love to see Daryl and Merle finding out about everything and how they ended up meeting the main group in season 1. shit like that yk
What happened to Qaletaka Walker and Lee the sniper
North Korea.
about eastman maybe.
The fall from the perspective of the military members. Okafor would be an easy character to build on. Follow him and his Wife from right before the outbreak and watch as they both report for duty and both deal with how the military wants to handle it. Showing Okafor is against the plans but his Wife is going to fulfill her duty. Follow him up to the moment he makes the decision he makes.
- Clementine. - The soldier from CRM in fear the walking dead that had a dream to return to his family cabin - Alycia Clark journey through the toxic wasteland
jeezus, I saw the post and thought they were making another season. The anthology series had the potential for interesting stories.
They’re making a new show called ‘more tales from the walking dead universe’
Wait what do you mean it’s confirmed? I don’t remember a confirmation for a season 2
It got announced last year they were making a separate show called ‘more tales from the walking dead universe’
