You sure you're not thinking of Dead Rising and zombrex here?
Or did another movie do the whole "zombie infection suppressing drug you need to take every 24 hours" thing before it did?
The only ending that really seems like it'd work for anything in TWD franchise is a naturalistic, "life goes on" open-ended kind of ending
I've never seen the series as something that's going to have a definite ending that ties everything up or gets some grand finale/closing. I'd imagine it'd be like S1's ending or how The Road ended; people die, some other people live, life goes on, survivors keep surviving, etc. TWD is a story about people surviving in an apocalypse, so it only makes sense for it to end the same way it started: with people surviving in an apocalypse.
I think Kirkman would allow it to be in the show otherwise. That be a huge issue in continuity if he wanted to do a thing with the rest of the world fine and then the TV series gets up to that point and have to skip a story arc.
I mean, if everyone's infected, so it's probably airborne, anyone who went to at least America and dies later is a walker?
I dunno if it's in the comics, I haven't read the comics, but TT TWD is canon to the comics, not the show, so if they haven't mentioned it b… moreeing a worldwide epidemic in the comics, you could tweak the story and say that the Americas had to be quarantined
I'd like to see some form of cure (well not exactly a cure for the dead but more of something to withstand the virus.) and it just ending sorta open with the MC saying something like, "The walkers are gone but what about the people that were just as bad." (sorry, for my lame writing skills) Just to kinda show even if a cure was created what about the killers, thieves and plain crazy. It would kinda put emphasis on the fact the world they knew is gone and it's probably not coming back. And I like the idea of an open ending in a way I like that unsatisfied feeling you get when you finish a game and you just feel empty, thats what I want to feel.

Here's an idea: as viruses go through 70 generations in one day and therefore can evolve quite quickly, would it be possible that the WALKERS themselves could evolve? Maybe at first they (or just a few special ones) could learn to pick up objects again, and then the Walkers might become more organised. It's a far fetched idea, but what if the old humans all died out and the Walkers sort of developed into the new humans? Just a thought.
that's something i thought about too. that eventually things would kinda be harmonious( not the best use of words)...cuz eventually the # of people to Walkers ratio would even out

That's probably what they'll do. The thing I don't like about those kind of endings is that there's still unanswered questions. If things could be resolved one way or another then it provides a more satisfying ending.
BTW, to anyone reading this who hasn't seen The Road I highly suggest you watch it. One of the most realistic portrayals of an apocalyptic situation I've ever seen and the whole thing is written spectacularly.

I get what you mean. So the apocalypse would officially end (because there's a cure to the disease/all the Walkers are gone) but people fail to band together and destroy themselves, even after the thing they thought they were fighting against is gone. That'd be a pretty awesome ending.

To be honest, I've always imagined the comic series to come to a grimy ending. Robert Kirkman likes breaking our hearts, so I always imagined the three main communities falling at some point (Kingdom, Alexandria, Hilltop), whilst at the end Rick dies and Carl becomes the king of the remnants of the world.
When it comes to the game, if Season 3 is the final one, I bet Telltale is gonna introduce a large cast, only to have them all bloody murdered and then have Clementine die.
Because I'm a natural optimist, I think it should end with redemption or hope :-)
Or it should have a "People come and people go, but lif… moree moves on." type of ending.
All I know is that if we don't get Clementine walking out into the sunset majestically I'm going to have some issues.
That's an issue that no zombie apocalyptic movie/genre has never really tried to cover- without humans, the nuclear reactors would probably explode (if I remember, the water systems cooling the reactors will shut down, and the reactors would collapse). Technically, parts of the world would be turned into a nuclear wasteland.

Technically, parts of the world would be turned into a nuclear wasteland.
But I'd actually like to see the USA being invaded while they're currently vulnerable due to zombies. It's a paranoid right-wing fantasy, yes, but I've never actually seen the 'post-apocalyptic' genre being set during an actual war. Those stories almost always take place during the war's aftermath...
Think about 28 Weeks Later. The UK is quarantined and repopulated by Brits under the protection of the US military, but when an outbreak reoccurs the American soldiers decide to slaughter all the British in hopes of containing things.

The way I see it walkers will just become a nuisance and nothing more than that. Humanity will kill itself. The more it distances itself from the old values, the more it will descend into madness and anarchy. Society will regress into warring tribes that would act on instinct and revert to old practices. Humans are surprisingly good at killing eachother.
I have no idea how it could end. It's probably going to be like everyone said, people are going to kill eachother and the undead will be victorious. I don't think there'll be cure.
Although, the show's going to run for at least 7 more years (unless shit hits the fan at some point) according to Kirkman. Only one way to find out. Pete: How? We wait...
This could go for the show or game and I'd be satisfied. A hope filled ending is nice and all but I've also considered a flat out dark ending, where Carl/Clem are a little more grown up in this apocalypse and everyone around them is dead. There's only two left and Rick/AJ is bit. Carl/Clem and Rick/AJ share a heart felt goodbye and, after an emotional death sequence, he/she stares down a herd with nothing left to lose and goes through the herd, killing zombies left and right, until they go down swinging. After that, the screen fades in and out showing the different parts of the world where the zombies have completely taken over and the final shot is of our main characters, dead on the inside and out, as Walkers.
I think she should die in the end as some of the survivors from her new-found group (and possibly Jane or Kenny depending who you saved) travel to a new found safe haven within some part of the country. I think her death should be heartfelt and very just, not some stupid thing like her getting shot and she plops down and dies. I kinda think that when she dies (being it from a generic shot, walker infestation, anything like that) that she stays alive for a few minutes and during that she starts having visions of Lee, Duck, Kenny or Jane (Again, depending on who you killed), her parents, and any other group members that made an impact to her life in the game. But during her few minutes before death, as she's being carried by a group member to rush to the safe haven since they were really close, time begins to slow for her and she sees Lee walking next to her along with everyone else who were dead and meant a lot to her. Lee leans in closely to her and puts his hand on her head and comforts her saying that she doesn't have to fight anymore and congratulates her for making it for so long and that he's proud of her. Her parents would also be there and say that they are also proud and her mother gives her a kiss on the cheek while her father looks warmly to her. Her eyes begin to close as you faintly see Lee get in the gesture to pick her up, instantly showing that she has finally passed.
That's just my two cents!! I think this would be more just for her, but let me know if this seems interesting or not!!
hopefully a satisfying ending,something like humanity reclaming itself back as the zombies start to drop off and be killed by the military and Clem and maybe others are hiding waiting to be helped..then there is a quietness and the sun comes out ,siloettes of normal people appear,radio communications give out updates,she goes back to Atlanta where she is rehomed with a foster family,it could be a beautiful ending if done right.
Probably. There are so many apocalyptic stories were humanity always wins in the end- and not enough were the zombies win, which would probably be the realistic outcome.
Wow...that ending would really astonish me. Sounds absolutely amazing. I would cry so hard if Clementine went out like that. Jesus, that would be really dark, but an ending the series deserves. Great suggestion.

It's a Canadian film from 2013 called 'The Returned' . if you have netflix, that's where I watched it

oh, i don't agree with what I said, but I was just saying that it could be explained away if that's not something that's known in the comics..
Clem wakes up and it was all a dream.
Here's an idea: as viruses go through 70 generations in one day and therefore can evolve quite quickly, would it be possible that the WALKERS themselves could evolve?

When life rebuilds, Rick's gang cross paths with Clementine, etc
I'd probably cry myself to death.

Russians/Chinese/British invade the quarantined United States and bring about a violent form of order.
I'd actually like that, if only because it'd severely shake things up by changing the genre from tepid survival into a war/invasion story.
The American Zombies launch their Nukes at the Chinese/Russian Zombies and Vice Versa. NUCLEAR ZOMBIE ARMAGEDDON.
Yo, I heard you like apocalypses, so I added nukes to your zombie story so you can die horribly while dead people kill you horribly.
I would make the zombies able to use guns, and think, but still hungry for BRAINS.
As long as it's better than the video-game version of Land of the Dead:
Resident Evil, this was not.
I agree
That's an issue that no zombie apocalyptic movie/genre has never really tried to cover- without humans, the nuclear reactors would probably explode (if I remember, the water systems cooling the reactors will shut down, and the reactors would collapse). Technically, parts of the world would be turned into a nuclear wasteland.
I wonder what all that radiation would do to the walkers.
Which would be AWESOME.
