The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live
Summary
Based on what happens inThe walk Dead : The I Who Liveepisode 2 , the closing of Rick and Michonne ’s spinoff may have already been heavily foreshadowed . The end game to Rick and Michonne ’s Modern adventure has been subjugate to a great passel of speculation for a while now , particularly since its story could be the key to the franchise ’s future . Their independent opponent in the spinoff , theCivic Republic Military , has thus far officiate as the overarching villain of the franchise , meaning that Rick and Michonne ’s actions have the potential to determine what comes next .
For a while now , all the soupcon of aWalking Deadcrossoverhave made it easy to suppose that the CRM will last whatever happen inThe one Who last . feed their report in its macrocosm , Rick and Michonne outwitting - but not beat - the CRM would make a lot of sense , as it would set aside them to finish off the scoundrel alongside Daryl , Maggie , Morgan , Negan , and some of their old friends back home in Alexandria in an epic , miniseries event . However , The Walking Deadmay have a completely unlike plan for the CRM , as evidenced by certain clues inThe Ones Who Live’sfirst two episodes .
Theory: The Ones Who Live Ends With Rick & Michonne Burning Down The CRM
Rather than simply miss the CRM , Rick and Michonne could orchestrate the system ’s fall . Such a ontogeny would eliminate any need for a team - up with their former allies againstTheWalking Dead : The Ones Who Live’sMajor General Bealeand his subordinates , but would activate the series to tell a complete story . It ’s deserving note that the possibility has already been entertained by the character . When discuss their situation , Rick expressed the belief that escaping was all they could hope to accomplish , butto Michonne , simply walking away did n’t seem to be enough for her .
Michonne ’s patent desire to demolish the CRM go hand - in - hand with some of the imagery presented in the series . Fire has play an important role both in merchandising andThe walk Dead : The Ones Who Liveopening quotation . Not only that , but it ’s been employ in the story itself as well , with Nat flutter his lighter on and off throughoutThe walk Dead : The one Who Liveepisode 2 , and Michonne repeat the legal action at the end of the installment . The fact thata smiling Michonne turns on the short after talking about the opening of beat the CRMfurther reward the theory that they ’ll bestow down their enemies - with attack .
Fire Is The Only Way Rick & Michonne Can Beat The CRM
Defeating an organisation as massive as the CRM would be an highly challenging project , even with all their friends on hand in a crossover , hence why their options for ticktack the CRM are badly limited . The CRM is too potent to be overcome by Rick and Michonne and any allies they can pluck up within the next four episode . For the heroes to win , they ’ll postulate a way to take their imagination off the board all , and in one chance event . They ca n’t win a warfare against the CRM , which is why burning it down is the only way to be free of them for respectable .
Why Rick & Michonne Could Die While Destroying The CRM
Rick ’s judgment of conviction when he says the CRM ca n’t be stopped highlights the risk of exposure - and perhaps , sacrifice - they ’d be making if they took a stall against them inThe Ones Who Live . Defeating the organization that Okafor called " what is potential the most powerful military on the satellite " already sounds like an improbably challenging end . Destroying them and expect to walk away whole would be an even less naturalistic programme that borders on the unsufferable . pull this off could conceivably be one or both of their living , if it can be done at all .
Not only would the stakes of such a gamey - risk architectural plan potentially call for the characters to make the ultimate sacrifice , but it would also adapt the tone of the serial publication . WhileThe Ones Who Livemay seem like a story about the trial Rick and Michonne go through to get back to each other , the result of the series premiere offer a different belief : episode 1 see Rick gradually see that there are things in this world more significant than his own privation and dreams . Theoretically , a series - long arc could culminate in Rick give up his life ( and hope to see Judith again ) to save the world from the CRM .
Rick & Michonne Can’t Die Without Returning To Alexandria, Right?
Further complicate topic is the question of where Judith and RJ meet into the picture . The Walking Deadtragically separated the Grimes family unit class ago , creating hope for an eventual reunification . Daryl promise to fetch back Rick Grimes , combined with the slow figure - up toJudith finally admitting the the true about Michonne ’s reason for leavingcontributed to the apparatus for a scenario where Rick does get to number home . For this reason , Rick and Michonne survivingThe Ones Who Livecomes across as the more likely outcome . That tell , The Walking Deadhas not been averse to tragedy in the past .
Rick’s Death Would Honor Robert Kirkman’s Original Comic Ending
Interestingly , having Rick die take down the CRM would be a way forThe Walking Deadto pay court to the ending of the original comic . In the final issue , Rick - years after successfully negotiating Alexandria ’s first appearance into the Commonwealth - was murdered by Sebastian Milton . His death was at last a result of everything he went through to assure Alexandria ’s time to come . pass away out in a blazing of glory to ruin the greatest terror to all communities ( admit Alexandria ) would be a way to preserve the composition of the comic ending , even if the nature of his expiry would be considerably different .
Burning The CRM Down Would Buck A Long-Standing Walking Dead Trend
to boot , the destruction of the CRM would grantThe walk Dead : The Ones Who Livean terminate that sets it aside from most of the main lineament ' stories . Typically , Rick , Michonne , and all the others do n’t wipe out their foe ' settlements . In most cases , they ’re either taken over or absorb , as was the face with the Saviors , Woodbury , and the Scavengers . The only one Rick ’s group designedly wiped out was Terminus , a community that likely could n’t be salvage by new leadership . Okafor thinks that ’s what the CRM needs , but Rick and Michonne may disagree .
