Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Robert Kirkman - the creator of mega-hit horror franchise The Walking Dead - just revealed how he originally planned for the franchise to end, and it would have changed the entire meaning of Rick Grimes' fight to survive the undead apocalypse. In a fascinating reveal, one detail of the original ending actually lived on, but with a very different meaning.

The idea was that Alexandria was successful enough for Rick to live out his life there and have a statue erected in his honor, but ultimately... the city fell and the scourge of the zombie apocalypse just... continued on. So, we'd leave readers with the idea that no matter what people did... the zombies win. I know, right?

The Walking Dead 's actual ending takes place after a 25-year time jump, revealing that humanity has effectively beaten the zombie outbreak and turned Rick into a folk hero. 1:42 Related "It's a Bit Much for Me, Frankly": Even Walking Dead's Creator Thinks the World's Most R-Rated Zombie Series Is Too Extreme While The Walking Dead doesn't pull many punches with its undead apocalypse, there's one zombie series that even creator Robert Kirkman avoids.

How many hours are in a day when you don’t spend half of them watching television? When is the last time any of us really worked to get something that we wanted? How long has it been since any of us really needed something that we wanted? The world we knew is gone. The world of commerce and frivolous necessity has been replaced by a world of survival and responsibility. An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the dead to rise and feed on the living.
