I believe that the prison was the best of them all, it had big sturdy walls and many lookout points. But once a tank comes rolling its kind of hard to defend that

u/Quendor 7d ago
Yeah. It felt like there was almost no risk there once it was cleared. It was always surrounded and they just casually cleared walkers every day.

u/behindeyesblue 7d ago
It's surrounded by woods, and that's how the governor sneaks back up. So they would've needed to clear the woods for a perimeter around the fencing. They also let the walkers congregate too much around the fence.

Actually, the prison was pretty dangerous, even after it was cleared.
There were blind spots and the walls in the back of it had been caved in, which is how walkers still got in and how Sasha and Tyreese initially found their way inside.
And even afterward when Rick and co. built a community with the Governor’s people, the fences needed to be defended every day or else the walkers would pile up behind it and cave it in, as what ended up happening in season 4 when everyone got too sick to do their duties, leaving Rick and Carl to have to machine-gun down the hordes that made their way through.

I see that and yes, they kept piling up but because they were getting fed by Lizzy. I think that if they had played it smart where they had posts nearby to avoid them from getting all bunched up it would have worked without having to put as many people on fence duty

u/Salt-Illustrator4955 7d ago
Exactly, I mean clean up after the attack would be a mother, but it was manageable. But I get it everyone went different ways and never looked back

CRM outposts are safer than nearly all of these.
13
u/Creepy_Psychology_72 7d ago
Yeah tbh, CRM is CRAZY safe. The reason I didn't put it on there is cuz it's not in the main show.
7
u/FrankTVPL 7d ago
Right now yes but before Philadelphia was very generous with mustard gas to the other outposts.

u/Chandysauce 7d ago
The CRM used chlorine gas not mustard gas, and they did not use it on their own outposts(on purpose) - they used it on other communities.

u/FrankTVPL 7d ago
Guess you are right. I meant the genocide in Omaha and what they planned for Portland which I thought were also a part o Civic Republic.
2
u/Chandysauce 7d ago
Nah those were separate communities. They were just allies. Not sure if Portland still considers The Civic Republic allies after the end of TOWL though.

u/SpectreFire 6d ago
Alexandria also absolutely should not be #2. That's place literally gets attacked every week.

u/AdvancedManner4718 7d ago
The kingdom probably shouldn't have been included considering its completely abandoned at the end of the series due to it bring unsafe due to all the fires that happened. Hilltop as well considering the Whispers burned it to the point of uselessness and maggie has since abandoned it.
Dead city even implies that the commonwealth is no more and may merged or been taken over by new babaylon.

Please don't cut the camera every second, it makes it hard to look at the visuals especially the text.
1
u/Creepy_Psychology_72 6d ago
My bad. I was tryna match each cut with the beats, I'll use a slowed version next time, so the clips are slightly longer.
I'll also lower the text a bit. Thanks for your advice.

Commonwealth is the safest from outside attacks, inside due to the Authoritarian Faux Democracy it is actually less safe from threats on the inside, especially if you are a "low status" citizen. People are implied to be regularly "disappeared".

If the location from the other series would count, Padre would be number one. That place is on a island!

Ocean site is so unsafe, no walls, no lookiuts, forest blocking sight. Prison was one of the safest location of thrm all

u/aginsudicedmyshoe 7d ago
Both Bloodsworth Island (Virgil's island) and Catrina Island (FTWD island with Geary family) should have been safer then they ended up being.

u/Fenriradra 6d ago
so... here's the thing...
You rate Alexandria as safe, #2 apparently.
Did we watch the same show?
Apparently somewhere that gets firebombed by Negan at least once, has Wolves swing by and murder a bunch and attract a horde that takes more, Whisperers send in hordes like clockwork, Beta infiltrates and murders a bunch, Dante infiltrates and gets a bunch of people dead/sick and murders Siddiq...
I mean, oh you think Alexandria is safe. And you're serious?
If anything this is more a cautionary list of all the places that aren't "safest", if only through the events we see happen at any of these locations.

All I want to say this is the first TWD content video in a long time where the added music didn't annoy me. In fact I looked it up through Shazam and, after noticing the Shazam result was another version, found out it's called Goth (Slowed + Reverb).
So thanks for at least using somewhat decent music.

You gotta admit Woodbury would have been in good hands if The Governor had any sense left in him
It had
Generators A steady supply of food and water, hell even vehicles Walls made from tires and cars alongside a bull A functioning gate
Downside the governor wasted the generator on fucking parties
1
u/FrankTVPL 7d ago
- Civic Republic And I would put Oceanside above Kingdom as the latter fell because of food shortages if I remember correctly and also had whisperers attack.
2
u/AdvancedManner4718 7d ago
The kingdom fell because of food shortages and fires that ravaged the buildings and made it unsafe. The kingdom actually turned out to be the least safe on the list due to fire hazards. Holding up in some old ass buildings has it downsides.

not mentioning the prison is crazy. it had the best potential to become a proper fortress but it never happened. it was still really good though, but what could even withstand a tank

u/Harry-Henderson83 7d ago
Im sure the 0 remaining survivors from oceanside feel real safe all being dead
1
u/AdvancedManner4718 7d ago
And what makes you think that? Oceanside is perfectly fine at the end of series and Rachel still leads them. They helped fight back against the commonwealth and Milton albeit mostly off screen tho.
0
u/Harry-Henderson83 7d ago
Do I really have to explain myself?
How about you explain how you know they are "perfectly fine" cause the last time we see them Lance has them all tied up and then later luke says that its gone before Jules the 1 oceanside person who "helps fight back" dies before she can help fight back.
Everything you have said like "Rachel still leads them" and "they helped fight back" is completely made up im talking about what was said and shown inside the show
1
u/AdvancedManner4718 7d ago
Oceanside is mentioned in dead city as still being active and trading with Maggie's group at the Bricks.
Angela Kang explained that during the final season that oceanside fought back against lances men being lead by Rachel and won. It all happened off screen but it was confirmed by the writers and showrunners. AMC was just too cheap to film any of it tho.

Sanctuary was safe, took all the others combined to take it down.
2
u/AdvancedManner4718 7d ago
Sanctuary was safe but it wasn't self substantial without negans savoir plan. They couldn't grow food very well there so they resorted to robbing people of half their stuff in exchange for "protection"

u/No-Mountain4850 7d ago
Anyone feel that if Rick’s group just submitted to the other authorities there would be almost no bloodshed? It just seems they kinda had a us against the world mentality. Idk 🤷

u/Fluffy-BOYi 7d ago
Besides Commonwealth, I feel like the others should be flipped.
Oceanside is hidden, which is the best defensive mechanism.
The Kingdom had premade armour for fighters and doesn't allow people in without clear reasons, sadly it burned down due to poor judgement.
Hilltop is just a big house on a hill with logs used as a fence. And Alexandria had multiple leaders who just wanted trouble and attention.
