Rick Grimes decays into a horrifying zombie in a mind-blowing piece ofThe Walking Deadmotion art, showing as he quickly transforms into an unrecognizable Walker. Out of all the characters on the zombie TV series, Rick has managed to survive some of the wildest events, from a bridge blowing up in season 9 to a near-miss grenade inThe Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live’s ending. However, the one issue he’s never had trouble with is zombies, always managing to avoid getting bitten by the undead, lest he become one of them.
Now,Immagina Ai Dreamhas created motion art of Rick inThe Walking Dead, showing his decay into a horrifying zombie.
The art showsRick’s cheeks and eyes slowly sinking in as his skin takes on a greenish hue.His hair and beard also become gray, thinning out as the skin begins to peel away from different parts of his face. By the end of the video, he’s gaunt and heavily decayed, making him look completely unrecognizable to the person he was before.
Nobody On The Show Is Ever Safe
Rick managed to avoid death multiple times throughoutThe Walking DeadTV universe, eventually reuniting with his family in the last scene ofThe Ones Who Live. However, his comic counterpart met a very different fate,murdered in his sleep by Sebastian Milton and transforming into a zombie.He’s later put down by Carl, who is alive at this point of the series, before he can decay like so many of the other Walkers featured throughout the story. This sets a precedent for Rick potentially becoming a zombie in the future.
However, as tragic as losing Rick to the zombie virus would be,his latest spinoff with Michonne put a definitive end to his storyline, giving him a happy ending with his family.While it would be interesting to see him again, possibly inThe Ones Who Liveseason 2or a new spinoff, killing him off would negate the positive ending already established for him. This would make his journey across the franchise much more disappointing, while also potentially interfering with his anticipated reunions with Daryl, Carol, and Maggie.
In 2024, The Walking Dead Will Tell The Same Spinoff Story For The 3rd Time
Although The Walking Dead spinoffs are evolving the franchise in a new direction, they’re about to tell the same story for the third time in 2024.
The motion art of Rick’s decay into a zombie shows how the undead are able to look like monsters after such a long amount of time. However, the main character’s importance as a central figure inThe Walking Deadmeans it would be disappointing for him to actually become a zombie in the show. However, it’s still an interesting concept, perhaps even something future shows can explore surrounding how a person slowly decays into a more monstrous zombie.
