Imagine If The Two Most Recent TV Series You Watched Were Merged Into One

Recently, I had the pleasure of watching The Walking Dead: World Beyond and Where the Crawdads Sing. While both are captivating in their own right, I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if I merged these two incredibly different worlds into one cohesive story.

The Walking Dead: World Beyond and Where the Crawdads Sing as One

While both series present compelling narratives, The Walking Dead: World Beyond might be described as 'daft', and Where the Crawdads Sing as 'intelligently written'. This juxtaposition raises an intriguing question: would a combination of these two genres create a narrative thriller or a humorous blend of mystery and zombie action?

Picture the investigation of a murder in the marshlands of North Carolina, as in Where the Crawdads Sing, unfolding in a world where the existence of zombies is not only acknowledged but a part of everyday life, much like in The Walking Dead: World Beyond. The main characters from World Beyond would soon find themselves embroiled in an investigation for the murder of multiple victims, including their own.

Kya Tate from Where the Crawdads Sing would be a central figure in this investigation, tasked with uncovering the true identity of the murderer. 'Empties' would inhabit the marsh, and Kya and her friend Jumpin' would venture into the area to find clues about Kyas family. The murder, which takes place years in the future, would likely involve several annoying teens and vacuous adults from World Beyond.

A Muppet Show and Sense8 Crossover

Alternatively, I recently consumed two more television series, Sense8 and The Muppet Show, and couldn’t help but imagine what might transpire if these were merged into one surreal and chaotic story.

Envision a group of eight puppets from different corners of the Earth discovering that they are part of a telepathic hive mind. They decide to put on a vaudeville show in a run down theater in Hollywood, only to be constantly heckled by two members of a sinister organization called the 'Biologic Preservation Organization'. This blend of puppetry, vaudeville, and sci-fi sounds absurd but oddly fascinating.

The iZombie and Stargate: Atlantis Adventure

Another merge to consider would be between the television series iZombie (2015–) and Stargate: Atlantis (2004–2009). In a world where zombies have become all too common, the Wraith are engaged in a losing battle against them. However, things take an unexpected turn when zombie replicators show up and consume everyone involved.

A BoJack Horseman and Freejack Merge

Lastly, let’s explore a peculiar crossover between BoJack Horseman and Freejack. The idea of a cross-genre merge between an animated series and a 1992 film might seem bizarre, but it could yield fascinating results. Imagine a scenario where Emilio Estevez might take on the role of Alex Furlong or perhaps BoJack Horseman himself playing the character as a contemporary representation. Can you imagine present-day BoJack's thoughts on the 1992 portrayal of 2009? Could BoJack Sir Mick Jagger possibly equal Jumpin’ BoJack Flash?

These hypothetical merges offer a glimpse into the creative potential of television series and highlight the importance of genre-blending in storytelling. Whether these scenarios are taken seriously or viewed as folly, they provide thoughtful reflections on how different narratives can intersect and create unique, engaging content.
