The Walking Dead Spoilers: Rick To Be Next Big Villain Of Show? [RUMOR]

Rick Could Be Next Villain in The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead is on break until February. This is a tragic fact that we all just have to come to terms with. In the meantime, fans are developing theories on everything about whether or not old faces will make a return to who will operate as the next big bad. One fan has a completely wild theory about who that might be.

The Driving Dead is a PSA You'll Actually Watch

Negan or The Whisperers are currently in the top running for who comes about to turn Team Rick's world upside down, but over at Moviepilot they have a different idea of how things will go. Instead of some outside force coming for the group, the new big bad may be one Rick Grimes.

The entire theory hinges on the idea that as the show has gone on, Rick has gotten more and more brutal and less the law man he started off as. In the beginning there was this sense that Rick was trying to establish a sort of order and sense of civilization to the zombie apocalypse.

As the show has one on, he's slipped more and more into survival mode, making tougher choices and showing far less remorse. In effect, becoming more like those that he stood against. On the one hand, sure.

But on the other, isn't that the effect of the end of the world? There's no civilization to cling to. Although, plot twist, perhaps this whole time, upstanding Rick who thought he was the best of what was left, has actually been the villain the entire time. Like in the original I Am Legend novella.

The Walking Dead returns to AMC February 8, 2015.
