Daryl Dixon Dies? Looks Like TWD Spinoff Finale Has Just Hinted at Exactly That
Is it time to bid farewell to Daryl?
The first season of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has wrapped up, and fans are all fired up speculating about what's in store for season 2.
The general vibe is that Daryl will finally cross paths with Carol, and they will make their way back home to reunite with Rick at some point. However, some fans believe season 2 might bring a less-than-rosy story for Daryl.
Spoiler alert for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon episode 6!
In the final episode, we get to know about Daryl's past, specifically about his family history. Daryl shares some memories about Merle and their father, and how he was absent most of the time.
But most importantly, Daryl further reveals that his father's absence can be traced back to his own family history. Daryl's grandfather had enlisted for World War II, leaving behind a pregnant wife. He eventually lost his life in France. Towards the end of the episode, we even get to see his grave.
This revelation leads to a conversation between Daryl and Isabelle. While Isabelle sees Daryl's grandfather as a hero who sacrificed his life for France, Daryl views it differently. He says, "Yeah, while his family fell apart back home. Hardly seems worth it."
This brings us to an intriguing post on Reddit, where fans are speculating about what this revelation might mean. The original poster drops a thought-provoking question: could all this talk about Daryl's grandfather and the idea of "history repeating itself" be a clue about Daryl's future?
The user speculates whether Daryl might meet a similar end in France, fighting for a cause or a family that isn't originally his.
While the majority of fans seem to be sure that the main characters like Daryl are unlikely to face such a fate, Daryl's visit to his grandfather's grave in France might be a symbolic gesture.
If they decide to off Daryl, it's a huge risk for AMC, especially since the original show once took a hit with a major character death. But then again, killing off a crucial character like him could crank up the tension to max levels, if we are heading toward the ultimate climax of the whole TWD Universe.
