Bad Omens in The Walking Dead Universe Theories Explored

Carl might've still got shot because he was wearing brown and green, most hunters wear orange vests because deer can't see the colour orange and to stop other hunters from shooting them

Rick's been gone for 8 years not 10!!!! Tha A stands for A**hole in the Sanctuary

I haven't watched the video yet but I bet being a side character who suddenly gets a lot of character development is on here

"A" is that for abuse, or a scarlet letter for adultery?

Probably just kept the same backpack to avoid buying another one

No one in the show knows how to hold a gun properly. They always chicken wing pistol gripped guns or have the butt of the stock over their shoulders. Daryl keeps his eye to the side of his crossbow with the stock over his shoulder and Rick chicken wings the AK.

Love your vids

day 120 of asking for the trunk story

ofc the backpack curse lol in the snhow evfety one die so ofc scrren time equal someone die lol not a curse

Made my day as per usual bro thanks keep it up

This late in the apocalypse maybe like other quality products that orange survival bag is the only ones still holding up

not trying to be that guy but, didnt Carl get shot in 2x1?

Thank you! Love the video idea. I've heard of some of these but I love how you piece them together

I'm sure you have seen it before. But I'd love some breaking bad content from you. AMC around that time had some BANGERs lol. Again thank you 🙏

One more amazing video. Good job.

I did see the letter A in Terminus every time they run threw a open door

I do like the A theory

They should have stopped for the poor bugger and picked him up .

the deer one makes sense

Do u think you could make longer videos? I listen to you to gts like it’s asmr ahahaha

Love this channel!!

rather then idea of peace for the deers, i think it signifies being a prey instead. In a world where everyone has become a predator, when the deer is shown, someone will become a bigger predator and one will become the prey. So sometimes, the deer dies as the prey, while sometimes, the character is the prey.

I do like the orange backpack as a symbol of burden. Whether it's intentional or not, I'm not sure, but I do like your theory.

I do think the orange backpack on termites at terminus could fit either theory.The death foreshadowing is their own, ricks group obtained the backpack by less than positive means, same as the termites. The weight on their shoulders being that they just lured two groups (two splinters of our group) that both came with the intention to peacefully join them. Losing out on members that could have positively benefited their group, and/or luring people to your location could be considered a weight on their shoulders

All 3 are cool, but the A is my favorite. The Terminus train car, Gabriel's church, etc... all leading up to Jadis and her connection to the CRM. I wish we got more in-depth explanations for all the A symbols we've seen especially the train car. I'd like to think the train car was used to transport people to CRM ...even connecting it to train car in s11 when our group was brought to the Work camps. I really thought Destination 2 was going to be an outpost for transporting people for the crm. So heartbroken that never got fleshed out. Love the videos man!

Keep this intelligence coming!

Great video, I think the A's in Alexandria were pretty smart, got even chills when I first saw the stamping episode

That's why one of the four MAIN gun rules is to know your target AND what is behind it BEFORE you shoot.

Ok I'm still confused on the whole A and B meaning with regards to the CRM. I know they game some half ass explanation in TOWL of As being leaders and becoming test subjects, while Bs become workers. That does not track at all with everything we learned from Jadis. In seasons 7 and 8 when Jadis has Neegan and Gabe on two separate occasions, she tells the CRM she has an A both times. And both times she had them tied up and ready to be bitten by a walker. Which would make them test subjects because they were bitten, which points meaning something to the affect of After bitten. Then she says she has an A before she finds Rick, but then changes her mind when she finds Rick and says she has a B, but he is strong. If hes strong and potentially a leader, wouldnt that make him an A? No one has been able to answer this question, can you please explain how all this adds up?!?!? Great vids btw.

Who ever has the bag will die or have someone close to them die means nothing in TWD universe as literally anyone could die at any time bag or no bag lol its a silly theory 😅

To this day, no one has been able to explain how Jim dreamed that something bad was going to happen, to the point where he started digging graves.

I think the point of the pack is to simply show the different walks of life that use an object in the objects life time... think of it as what I call "idiopathic thrift probability"...

What’s the background music In the beginning of the video?

The back pack, I think it’s a “oh sht, there it is thing” I know as intended when we as fans saw reoccurring things we’d blow it up online & writers love that. I’d buy into it but the lapse in Glen having it then not taking Lucille until few episodes later, I’d say highly likely not, just a prop reused that doesn’t tie in, although cool thought.
The deer, I absolutely buy into this being an omen of SHTF, the walker who ate deer before attack at campsite, Carl with Otis, the dead one at prison with prisoner ofc, then one with sisters, Carol sees yet another or same one before Terminis sht show, Daryl seeing one before the storm, Carol killing the one that died in Whispers territory, Michonne killing one & Negan taking it, then Rick seeing it at high school carnival, I don’t think we ever saw a deer dead or alive that didn’t have something shortly after.
The letter A, I can see where they’d wanted it to be a “trapped” situation. Or even I’m trapped but not for long. Other than 8 years Rick spent at CRM, remember in TOWL, Michonne said RJ is almost 8 not 10 n she was pregnant when Rick blew up bridge, so Rick was only with CRM for 8ISH years.
Love the “make ya think” content tho, great job.

I think ive also seen a theory about the backpack being a symbol of trust, but baggage makes a lot of sense.

I love deer so twd can be a hard watch, but i do think they are usually a good omen if you treat them well. Some believe that if you treat nature well then nature will favour you, i think thats why Carl survived the bullet and why Carol suffered more tragedy after trying to get Mica to kill one.

“A” is definitely a bad omen

The deer 100 percent is like a bad omen there’s a couple scenes where some of the people are really hungry haven’t eaten for days and they see a deer then follow it and try to hunt it but it ends up getting eaten by walkers or has been eaten by walkers when they find it again it kinda symbolizes like bad luck 🤷🏻‍♂️

I was expecting the Grimes hat curse (explanation below) but the rest of these are cool

The Grimes hat curse is basically just whoever wears Ricks hat gets shot
Rick-1x01 gets shot
Beth-5x08
Carl-6x09 gets shot
Judith-11x23
RJ-better watch out in TOWL

What about S4E2 when Rick finds woman in forest and mistakes her for a walker because she’s willing to eat a dead rotten deer?

That's a lot for a bag pack

The deer in my eyes represents the death of innocence and peace, less of a warning and more like a foreshadowing that someone is going to face a horrifying situation that will chip away at their drive for peace and safety

The deer signifies "calmed moments before the storm"
Trapped in Spanish is "Atrapado(for males) Atrapada (for females) (A)

I see that A and all I can think of is The Scarlet Letter, where it indicates adultery, sin, and shame. And sin or blood on their conscience is something TWD characters would have an abundance of.

it stays incredibly clean and in great condition over all that time.

I think the deer is a mixed omen. I think it represents the hope and beauty that is always counterbalanced against the fear and horror of the Walking Dead universe. How life in this world is always both at once.

Some examples:

Carl sees the deer and gets shot. This results in injury to a child - but the group also finds the farm and makes new friends. In addition, Carl sees there is still beauty in the world and Rick and Lori are reminded he can still have a future, even in a world like this.

In season seven, the deer at the carnival saves Rick's life, after almost getting him killed. It interrupts Rick and Michonne's happy day of escapism and brings them one day closer to a war in which people will die. But its also a running joke that gives them hope and light-heartedness at a difficult time, and in keeping them both alive for the war to come, it brings them closer to victory too.

Rick also witnessed a partially-eaten deer corpse in the woods in season three, before he stumbled on Clara. This was both a bad omen - she tried to kill him soon after - and a good one - meeting her reawakened some of the fight in Rick, but showed it tempered now by humanity, as he honored her wish to be left to turn alongside her dead husband. It's a scene of humanity and horror.

Then there is the deer that is seen before the camp is attacked in season one. The attack is a brutal loss of innocence for the group - but it makes them stronger and more aware of the risks. They can't stay where they are. They need to strive for somewhere safer. This attack kills Amy, yes, but it also kills Carol's abusive husband Ed, setting her free to become stronger, just as the group does.

That's how I've always thought of the deer. Not as a solely bad omen, but as a sign a hard lesson, or an event of mixed good and bad, is coming.

The first time we see an A is in season 2 when they are in the bar after dave and Tony are killed. The handle that turns from the outside right before Glenn shoots the window reveals an upside-down A on the handle. Its a blink and miss it moment

Correction- Carl was shot in 2x01 with the immediate aftermath coming in 2x02
