Summary

  • The Walking Dead community marveled at Shiva’s attack on Negan’s group without CGI.
  • The source material may be revived after deluxe reprint ends, while live-action adaptations flourish.
  • Shiva, an iconic tiger character, met her end during season 8 but left a lasting impact on the series.

Fans of the TV show “The Walking Dead” have come together in awe after watching an unedited clip showing Shiva, the tiger, disrupting Negan’s plans. Shiva was the first animal character to reappear on AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” and she was made real through computer-generated imagery (CGI) that was added over a stunt performer in a blue suit. This sneak peek behind the scenes is truly captivating, giving us a unique look at how this magical scene was filmed.

As a dedicated movie enthusiast and avid fan of post-apocalyptic tales, I can’t help but express my deep admiration for “The Walking Dead” comic series. Created by Robert Kirkman and artist Tony Moore, it has stood as one of the most remarkable post-apocalyptic stories spanning across 193 issues from 2003 to 2019. Though its final chapter was concluded six years ago, the tantalizing whisper of a potential continuation from Robert Kirkman after the “Deluxe” reprint wraps up keeps us fans eagerly anticipating a resurrection of this beloved storyline.

In the meantime, the live-action adaptations are flourishing, leaving no room for dissatisfaction among zombie enthusiasts. With three spin-off series currently in production, we’ve been kept well-fed with our hunger for the undead, even three years after the AMC parent show called it quits.

The Walking Dead Behind-The-Scenes Clip Reveals Shiva Without CGI

On Reddit, LittleLostGirls posted a GIF from The Walking Dead subreddit, featuring an unusual backstage shot of Shiva in action. Contrary to her usual fierce behavior of jumping at Negan’s group, it appears that an actor wearing a blue suit is seen bouncing on a trampoline and soaring towards one of the armed scavengers in this clip. This behind-the-scenes footage resembles another clip showing AMC’s filming process for The Walking Dead’s memorable Atlanta scene, but this GIF offers an exciting sneak peek for fans to enjoy.

I, as a member of this community, have noticed that “The Walking Dead” has some noticeable inconsistencies throughout its eleven seasons. A Redditor brought up an intriguing point: given the situation, how come none of the scavengers spotted a massive tiger charging at them? The original poster justified the tiger’s attack by explaining that the Saviors were preoccupied with a tense scene unfolding where Negan was about to kill Carl with Lucille.

Many members of the subreddit agreed that this behind-the-scenes clip could potentially become one of the most iconic memes from the show, emphasizing the impact of “the blue man on a mission.” Lastly, another fan humorously pointed out that they couldn’t tell the difference between Shiva with and without CGI.

In the original storyline and on the AMC series, Shiva is a renowned animal character who joined the comic book series in issue 118 and made an appearance from seasons 7 to 8. This tiger serves as the loyal warrior of King Ezekiel Sutton, ruler of the community called the Kingdom. In the season 7 finale, Shiva attacked a scavenger at Alexandria while Negan was planning to kill Carl, leading down a more ominous path for Negan and Carl than Robert Kirkman initially planned in the Savior Compound. Unfortunately, Shiva was killed by a horde of zombies in season 8, episode 4. However, her powerful presence during the apocalypse remains indelible in our memories.

On the 19th of February, 2025, you’ll find The Walking Dead Deluxe #107 on store shelves, and it’s anticipated that The Walking Dead: Dead City will launch its season 2 in the spring of 2025.
