So let’s keep track of the “Three Rings,” from The Walking Dead to Fear the Walking Dead to what we know about them in World Beyond, and find out what these scoundrels are up to.
Three rings / CRM in The Walking Dead
Pollyanna McIntosh as Anne in The Walking Dead.
Six or more years ago, in The Walking Dead timeline, Anne (formerly Jadis) had an agreement with a clandestine, well-armed group that had access to a helicopter.
In exchange for supplies, she and her fellow Scavengers (assuming everyone was in agreement) would provide this group of Three Rings with live human specimens, which they were told to classify as “A” or “B” (we can still just guess what they mean. ). Back as Jadis, she first tried to hand Negan over to the Three Rings, in revenge for Savior Simon killing his entire group, but even then she also tried to get Negan to bite him before the helicopter came and caught him. At that time, it seemed that A and B could have something to do with infected and uninfected people.
After Rick and his army won the War of the Savior, Anne, who no longer had a Scavenger community to turn to, became part of her crew. Still, all along, she was trading people to the Three Rings for supplies. When Gabriel asked her about the disappearance of a former Savior named Justin, she agreed with Gabriel, who had recently become her lover, and asked him to leave with her and join the mysterious group as he had asked to be removed. When she refused, she knocked him out saying “All this time, I thought you were a B”.
This made labels A and B for the Three Rings more confusing.
Anne finally released Gabriel from guilt, but she still wanted to go with the Three Rings. So, in her walkie-talkie communications with the helicopter, she lied and said she had an “A” for them. Fortunately for Anne, she encountered Rick Grimes seriously injured. Yes, after Rick was not killed in the bridge blast in Season 9’s “What Comes After”, Anne saved him by handing him over to the Three Rings, which took them both in the helicopter. She told them that Rick was a B, but he was strong and needed help.
Unfortunately, no one in Rick’s life knew this was happening and everyone assumed that he died (although Daryl spent quite a bit of time in the woods looking for a body). Then the show skipped six years.
Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes in the latest television episode of Rick’s Walking Dead.
“[Rick] He was wounded but still alive and they were taking him somewhere, “Negrete told us.” We will have fun with it [on World Beyond]. We are going to learn much more about this organization. And in doing so, maybe there could be some clues as to where Rick might be. Let’s explore what this organization is and who they are through the eyes of these new characters. It is a very mysterious onion that we are going to peel the layers … and I hope this is tastier than an onion. “
In Season 10’s “What We Become Become”, Michonne, who thought Rick had died years ago, discovered her boots at a Navy Research Center on Bloodsworth Island. A character named Virgil told him that the boots had come from a ship that collapsed during a “great storm”.
Michonne discovered the record of a ship that was tracking the ship from Virginia to a port in New Jersey. She took this as a clue and set out to follow suit. Among the remains, she also found a phone with Michonne’s drawings and a figure that could be Carl or Judith. The only way Judith could be is if the person who drew and wrote the Japanese letters for him, be it Rick or someone else, was actively observing Alexandria all these years.
One huge The question the Rick Grimes movie will have to answer is why Rick never went to his house. Have you been around all this time?
Three Rings on Fear the Walking Dead
Sydney Lemmon as Isabelle in Fear the Walking Dead.
Staying in the past, Fear the Walking Dead, as a series, there is a leap in time before Walking Dead Season 9. And in FTWD Season 5, which syncs roughly in time with the first five episodes of Walking Dead Season 9 (when Rick was cut), the Three Rings appeared.
Yes, in Texas, where fear now occurs, in the episode “The End of Everything”, Althea de Fear, played by Maggie Grace, had an encounter, and a romantic interlude, with a Three Rings soldier named Isabelle The team Isabelle Civic Republic Military (CRM) had the Three Rings logo.
Isabelle, separated from her group, and her murdered leader, radioed others and promised to deliver a “payload” (as part of Ground 17, a reconnaissance squad that purchased supplies and technology) while also calling a “Team of Recovery “(which apparently goes in to kill everyone and eliminate witnesses). At first, Althea was her prisoner, but the two talked and bonded while on the road, prompting Isabelle to tell Al more about the group and why it was so important for Al to keep everything a secret.
“He’s bigger than me, he’s bigger than you, he’s bigger than all of us,” he explained to Al. “And we are the past. And right now, it’s the only thing that matters … This is about the future. and rebuilding what we all had once. “
The Walking Dead: World Beyond and … the Cure?
Julia Ormond as one of the leaders of the group Three Rings in The Walking Dead: World Beyond.
“This will be a different corner of the universe, a corner that we have not seen before,” Negrete said of the Three Rings society that World Beyond will offer. “We are lucky that Julia Ormond plays one of the leaders of this mysterious group. It is incredible.”
“We are seeing how other groups live,” he said. “[On The Walking Dead] We saw these communities that are still developing and that are still developing. Let’s look at some civilizations, and hint at other civilizations, which are first world and more built. They feel more like the world we live in today. They have spent 10 years in the apocalypse and they have school and they have some great things that they are doing. It’s also about living for the future. It’s no longer ‘oh shit, where’s my next meal coming from?’ “
Back at NYCC 2019, Walking Dead Universe Director of Content Scott Gimple explained the meaning of the Three Rings symbol and what it meant for The Walking Dead: World Beyond. “The three circles represent three different civilizations that are linked and intertwined in some way,” he said. The location in World Beyond is “associated with one of those circles,” and the series will delve into that mythology and show just how big the world of The Walking Dead is.One of the theories we came up with, when the Rick Grimes movies were announced after the last episode of Rick’s The Walking Dead, is that this organization, which doesn’t come from the comics, could be heading towards a possible “cure” story. Well, Negrete confirms that it is true. The three rings They are looking far enough into the future to be working on a cure.
“There is responsibility that comes from [being in an advanced community]”, said.” It really is about wanting to build the world again. They are thinking ‘Is there any way we can get rid of the walkers someday?’ – or empty, as we call them in this program. Can we eradicate them from the world? Is there any way we can find a cure for this thing? “
“They are asking these questions because they have lived so long and built the world to do it.”
Robert Kirkman’s Walking Dead comic series may have ended without mentioning a cure, but it seems like the television verse may end things very differently, perhaps covering the saga with a slight glimmer of hope.
Rick Grimes movies
We don’t know much about the Rick Grimes movie trilogy other than that it will star Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira as Rick and Michonne (and maybe even Pollyanna McIntosh as Anne). The montage was Anne giving Rick the Three Rings as a wounded “B” (thus providing her ticket). From there … six or seven years have passed. Has she been with the Three Rings all this time or does she just start with them, as a kind of prisoner?
The last image we got regarding the movie is the nomadic group that Michonne saw in her quest to locate Rick in Season 10. of The Walking Dead. It was a large community on the move, with civilians and supplies inside the procession. and the soldiers, on horseback, protecting the perimeter.
Gimple recently told us that while World Beyond and Rick’s movie involve the Three Rings, “they can exist on their own schedules.”
“There is a lot of flexibility there because the stories are not intimately involved,” he said. “There are aspects and stories that they share, but they are actually quite independent of each other.”
Gimple stated that World Beyond is “a look at the mythology in which part of the film revolves. There are aspects of World Beyond that exist in the same universe as the film. It’s closer to Rick’s story. You know, Rick Grimes doesn’t come out of the corner in [World Beyond]and introduce yourself, but you learn a lot more about the world that Rick is potentially dealing with. It has deep connections to the film. “
The Walking Dead: World Beyond follows the first generation raised in a surviving post-apocalyptic world civilization, specifically two sisters and two friends as they leave a place of comfort and begin to explore the devastated and dangerous world around them.
The Walking Dead: World Beyond limited series premieres Sunday, October 4 on AMC. Check out the full panel of Comic-Con 2020 for The Walking Dead: World Beyond below:
