I completely forgot about this arc tbh. In my mind the show jumps from the whisperer war straight to the commonwealth arc. The fact that this group got TV time from 11A and 11B and leaving the commonwealth arc in just 11C is absolutely criminal

Reapers would have been a successful character arc if it were them terrorizing the Commonwealth at the end. Especially if the surviving Reapers took the horde trick and used it against The Commonwealth.

My daughter & I ABSOLUTELY loved that scene when sniper Gabriel was on the roof & simply saying "Call me Gabriel"! Oh my goodness me & my daughter both literally jumped up & was just like that was so amazing!!! I tell you Gabriel came a long way from when he first came on the show. We didn't like him then, but now Gabriel is one of our most favorite characters in the show!

The Reapers had plenty of potential but it was sadly rushed and I think that’s why it failed so far. Plus like you said, Pope wasn’t even truly used to his fullest. Out of all the reapers, Carver was by far the best in my eyes because of his 1v3 and still almost won. Overall, I enjoyed your take on this group and looking forward to the next video

Imagine if they all stuck together, worked together and fought against the dead rather than eachother...

I think that the reapers deserved more screen time and backstory, but they were pretty cool.

Love you page ! I get excited to see these breakdowns ❤❤

Thank You for this, Excellent💎👌

Thanks!!! You’re awesome at explaining this!!

The annoying thing is that the Reapers seemingly gave that one hunter all their guns. A much better storyline would’ve been to make the Reapers a mercenary group working for Lance. Tying in to the overall Commonwealth arc.

Just found this channel and watched several videos, I think I'll subscribe.

How do you only have 6k subs? You are an amazing story teller!

Love the TOP shirt. And I’ve been bingeing your videos. Great work.

Would recommend going way back to season 5 and looking at the grady memorial hospital cops

Such a badass group. Miss that group and i’ll never forget them!

I thought the 'disappointing' reapers was somewhat deliberate. After the saviors the only way to go with "bandit" factions to stay a credible threat without just feeling like retreading old ground would be the pseudo supernatural like the whisperers, or backed by a massive machine like the commonwealth. I thought it was underlined by how the saviors nearly broke Daryl, but he was barely phased dealing with the reapers. Also how pope killed one of his men in very similar means to how negan kills that doctor I kept thinking "what a rip off" like they were *supposed* to be posers to show how much stronger the group had become Edit: i almost forgot about using walkers as 'guards' which is definitely a savior move. Guarentee Daryl remembered that when he saw frost

Great analysis, I'm looking forward to the Commonwealth Arc video or any other Walking Dead arc you got planned.

Sincerely thank you from a huge walking dead fan who fell off before the negan arc finished. And caught up again before dead city last year. Thank you man these videos dig into this show the way I use to dive into the lore with my friends. Definitely have a new supporter

I feel like the Reapers really did have some potential, but unfortunately they clearly didn’t have the time to stretch that conflict to what it needed to be and get the ball running on the final arc, the Commonwealth. In an alternate universe, where we got more seasons, probably could’ve been a nice lead in, going from these scary guys with hooks to the white armor of the Commonwealth

I've just discovered your page, so here I am commenting and rambling on the pirate video, but you for sure would've seen hundreds if not thousands of groups like this pop up if the outbreak happened today instead of 14 years ago. Not necessarily all just a cult of roaming butchers raiding for supplies, more likely groups of prepared citizens who would want to protect their own towns and communities early on, but many would begin roaming as time went on. Either simply for an adventure or because communities fell and it's not safe anymore. More than likely, you'd eventually get bands of mercenaries helping set up secure colonies for long-term settlements, lots of videogame type quests and such going on with a mix of "The Postman" and such mixed in for that. Probably get bands of mercenaries wearing patches and flags of their home communities and the ones they get employed with, much like military unit patches. I should've been asleep an hour and a half ago, but now we've got my brain racing. Subscribed for sure.

I only remembered about them when Daryl killed that one girl from that group

Great vid

I actually really did enjoy this. It was a great re-introduction to Maggie. And, and I feel like it made the entire fan base. Want to see Daryl Dixon be reunited with Rick Grimes 😢😢😢

I love how whisperers is revelant until now

The Reaper arc is in my top 3 most fav arcs in twd most def 🔥😤

I loved to hear more about the reapers, I really wish we got more of them, Carver is still one of my favorites despite barely any screen time, he was strong and looked cool asf, we needed more of him and the reapers

The idea was good but the Reaper arch needed to be way long to make us care about these people

The Mask's kind of remind me of the game Army Of Two....Mercenaries or PMC's wearing mask's to hide their identity.

I actually really liked the reaper ark.

I think the point of the torture is to put Daryl in a situation he's uncomfortable with, and put him through trauma, rather than make us question his loyalty.

it's sad a bunch of trained ex soldiers getting killed by untrained hill billys

I don't think it's that much of a bad thing to have the villains be hypocrites. It shows that their facad is starting to crack and that they have a weakness.. often times our group ends up using these hypocrisies against them like using Lydia being alive to turn certain whisperers against alpha. So it might be poor writing but it could also be seen as somewhat planned and consistent.

That Leia story line, imo unnecessary. I'm glad the Daryl romance of sorts. I wished they had a child during their time together. Not just a dog.

Why attack at random if they are about signing particular? Just crazy bs?

i thought leeyah was the woman that daryl got wasted with

they were exploding arrows not rocks

Whats that laptop in the background?

I personally think they stole the focus from the commonwealth, we were introduced to a community with 50k people and star wars armor, i had no interest with the reapers

☆☆☆☆☆@Ty swell☆☆☆☆☆ I want to say thank you. Thank you for making such great walking dead story arc videos. Ive watched everyone of them over the last couple days and they are magnificent! As someone who has been watching faithfuly since episode#1 all those years ago, and has watched the series and spin-offs in their entirety at least 4 times throughout the years, I absolutely loved these vids! This has been an entertaining trip down memory lane for sure. To re-live some of my favorite story arcs in the way you've put them together has been an entertaining viewing experience! I know its hard work but please man, keep making these for all significant story arcs in TWD universe. Id love to see you weave some arcs together between shows and tell the larger overarching story between them while filling in time jumps. I do not usually leave comments complementing the channel creator of vids like this, but in this case I absolutely had to give you your flowers. 👏 👏 WELL DONE! Youve done something really great here! I've liked your vids and subscribed to your channel. I will recomend your channel and vids. I'll also share them in the appropriate places to try and drive some views and subs your way. Thanks again man!

The amount of time spent on this group was easily one of the worst parts of the final season. Nothing original about them. We've seen PTSD ridden veterans in all of the WD shows at his point. We've seen people raise a cult around themselves. Having them as the antagonists that pushed Maggie back to the survivors only hurt her character. It still baffles my mind that after already being introduced to the Commonwealth and dealing with the Whisperers for years that the writers thought this group would serve as interesting content more than two episodes. Even based on the assumption they meant to stretch this plot further, it's horrible. Outside of "Daryl fucked one of them" there is nothing engaging, or entertaining of the group. Nothing related to Georgie or the 6 years Maggie left the survivors. Maggie is picked up like nothing happened over the past few years except for this one, 1-note bad guy, killed off this one single group with nothing except for some small angst fuel for Maggie to yell at Negan before they go in and kill them all off for some food. I yearn for the old days of the theories that Georgie was really Pamela Milton building up the Commonwealth and Maggie rejoining would be bringing them into the fold

Thank you for the explanation! You look so handsome.

I love the reapers tbh they are the most realistic survivors along w Rick Daryl and Shane

Wish we could turn baccc time to the good ol dayzzz

Can you cover the common wealths story arc?
