![]() ![]() The vague suggestion would serve as a pertinent preamble to The Walking Dead Universe’s first update on the fate of Rick Grimes. Surprisingly, despite the surname tribute, this line seemingly reveals how six years of apparent CRM indoctrination changed Jadis’s perspective on siding with Alexandria-and Rick-during that bygone conflict. Why The Walking Dead Rick Grimes Movies Are Taking So Long By Alec Bojalad Not only is Jadis a fully-fledged member, she’s actually a high-ranking warrant officer sent by headquarters to investigate and root out what she calls “corruption, ineptitude and betrayal.” Yet, the character hasn’t quite let go of her connection to events on the mothership show, seeing as she’s going by Jadis Stokes, using an assumed surname that’s a clear tribute to her time as a resident of the Rick-led Alexandria community-under her presumably-real name, Anne-during which she was romantically involved with Father Gabriel Stokes. Tellingly, Jadis showed up in a black, long-coat-accompanied CRM uniform that’s almost evocative of her days as leader of eccentric, avant-garde trash-heap-dwelling survivor group the Scavengers, except with a more facist flair, notably complemented by a new high-and-tight bowl cut. Indeed, her arrival at the CR compound setting reveals that she’s kind of a big deal now. Jadis’s fateful deliverance of Rick has paid off substantially, as the character’s return on The Walking Dead: World Beyond Season 2, Episode 6, “Who Are You?,” makes abundantly clear. The Walking Dead: World Beyond was always expected to bring an update on Rick, seeing as its plot involves the advanced, continent-spanning post-apocalyptic (multi-series-crossing) organization, the Civic Republic (CR), whose helicopter-identified by a now-familiar symbol of three interlocking rings-flew a dying Rick to proper medical care, thanks to a deal made by the enigmatic Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh) to join the super-community a deal that presumably rendered Rick a permanent resident, classified under their still-mysterious taxonomy of a “B,” as opposed to an “A.” While that was six years earlier in the TWD timeline, the return of Jadis-now part of the Civic Republic Military (CRM)-nevertheless provides a potent clue about Rick’s fate as fans still await the long-gestating movie projects. Now, over three years later, spinoff The Walking Dead: World Beyond has the first update on our misplaced protagonist, thanks to the return of a certain former junk-dwelling hipster. While the absence was a result of star Andrew Lincoln’s exit, the grievously-wounded Rick escaped expected martyrdom to be kept afloat, quite literally, via helicopter in a move that set up surprise movie projects. “I gave the CRM something very valuable and I got a new life.”Īs massive and fruitful as The Walking Dead franchise has been for AMC over the past eleven years, its imminently-ending mothership series has been without main character Rick Grimes since 2018’s Season 9. ![]()
