Robert Kirkman Addresses Theory That The Walking Dead Is Rick’s Dream

SPOILER ALERT?

Ever since Walking Dead Creator Robert Kirkman went on the record as saying he had an end in mind for The Walking Dead, speculation has been rampant as to just how it would all go down. And there’s one theory that we see OVER and OVER again, in regards to both the show and the comic, and that is that this whole thing is just Rick’s nightmare while he lies comatose in the hospital and that the end of The Walking Dead will be Rick waking up. Depending on your love of The Twilight Zone, you might even go a step further and say he wakes up in an abandoned hospital in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.

Well it all came to a head this week when UPROXX demanded that Robert go on the record that this is NOT how TWD will end.

“We’re not asking for a huge press conference. Or a lengthy explanation. Just a short statement on the record that The Walking Dead will not end that way. Do us that solid.”

So we sent Robert the article.

Going on record to answer this: http://t.co/3lhUI6A3bW Rick is NOT still in a coma. The events of TWD are definitely happening.

Of course. It’s not Robert’s style to NOT f–k with his fans a little bit.

But Carl and everyone else are all imagined. He actually NEVER found his family. He's been crazy since he killed his first zombie. #joking?

So there you have it! Not in a coma. Which is obvious because we ALL know that The Walking Dead is all just an autistic boy’s fantasy based on his snow globe.

    If it’s all a dream, Kirkman’s got plenty of time to come to his senses & correct that ending!

      Now that I think about it, though, that’s technically true of the entire series even before Rick. But that’s going too meta.

    He doesn’t wake up in the hospital. The end of the series (TV and comic) will be Rick waking up in Morgans house, after getting knocked out with the shovel.

    I think it would be funny if Rick woke up from The Walking Dead dream. He’s back in his house and Lori is getting out of the shower and she asks him if he’s OK. “Did you have a bad dream?”
    Total Dallas Pam/Bobby ending – BAM!

    • carlyyougoonie says:

      I am pretty sure the ending is everyone is dead except Carl Grimes and he’s totally mental, herding walker-pets like cattle.

    Rick is NOT dreaming. Lori fainted and hit her head when she found out Rick was shot and it’s her dream. She dreamed she died so now she’s dreaming everything from Rick’s perspective. Or some other equally unlikely stupid plot guess.

    Kirkman can’t end the show that way . That’s a cheap way out

    They did an ending somewhat like this in cod zombies, it was such a cheap way to end the story line, I am really happy they are not making an ending like this.

      Man I love Call of Duty Zombies but the end of origins really was a let down

    It is happening, it won’t end, let the guys keep the story line. Eventually the communities will deal with zombies as part of human nature, a society will recover the levels and standards that we are now, my question is , maybe better world? Rick will die, old enough, I just enjoy the process, thanks TWD team!

    Well since this isn’t a court of law and Robert Kirkman isn’t required to tell the truth….Do you think even if it’s true about this all being a nightmare Rick is having in a coma he would give away the end and admit to that?

    he wont wake up in the hospital from his coma, because he is going to die in the coma!!!!! lori will pull the plug before her wedding with shane.
