The Walking Dead: Dead City series is the most realistic fiction ever created. The chronological pace of the production is spot on and could eventually resemble the same qualities of The Simpsons by predicting the future. Because of the sequential order of the plot, Dead City is significant to be considered the best realistic fiction production. The writers and creators of Dead City have a strategic way of implementing real-world emotions, situations, and thinking in a supernatural space that almost seems as if it is true.
For instance, in Season 1 of Dead City, Negan was talking to Maggie Rhee about the Croat and why he sent him away from his group in the original Walking Dead. The reason he sent him away was because the Croat killed a child, although the child was a spy from another group. The spy was still a child. Negan exclaimed to Maggie that he attempted to handle the situation. The Croat was able to get away and never came back. This was a key dialogue in season one to set up the plot of Negan revisiting the Croat. This dialogue shows the reality of human emotions and consequences. Negan’s ferocious leadership in the original Walking Dead led the people around him to become monsters and ultimately led to the person he has become in Dead City. Negan was explaining to Maggie Rhee that the leadership position of the Croat is expected. This connects with the reality aspect of human emotion and situations that correlate to the features of The Simpsons.
Another small but key example, in the second season, Maggie’s son, Hershel Rhee, had a scene where he posed a question to Perlie Armstrong about what fire alarms are. In this scene, Perlie was telling Maggie and Hershel about a story of when he was in school. Hershel, asking the question about fire alarms proves that the chronological pace of The Walking Dead: Dead City is perfect, because Hershel was born after the apocalypse started. Therefore, he did not attend a traditional school, which makes sense on why he does notknow what a fire alarm is or does. The writers and creators did a great job in this scene by making sure the context in this scene went along with the narrative.
Many cause-and-effect situations happen in the real world, especially involving the behavior of an individual influencing others around themselves. The Simpsons are known for their predictions in their TV shows that come to be true. The reality dialogue attaining human emotions and social norms built around Dead City and The Simpsons productions are similar. The events of Dead City are horrific, and in no way possible would I want these scenes to become a reality, but the possibilities are endless. My take on comparing these two is not my main objective because they contain two different plots and audiences. The main point here is to understand that The Walking Dead: Dead City series’ chronological pattern is something to pay attention to when considering the best put-together realistic fictional objects.
