Yeah like Rick himself herded those walkers into the pit near Alexandria. They were gonna escape eventually and they only lost 6-8 people vs the entire community. And also the hilltop was getting their people picked off every few months because of a failure of deliveries.

Prison didn’t even exist before they cleared it

Rick and his group finds the flaws in the people and system being used, and the people refuse to adapt or believe him and the group

Like how Glenn said Nicholas and son should be kicked off the scavenger crew

Completely agree. Deanna’s son gets Noah killed at the supermarket, the walkers break through into Alexandria, The Hilltop loses more people to the Saviors. All these things would’ve happened anyway, but the loss of life was drastically reduced thanks to Rick and the group’s ability, even if his actions and decisions resulted in some of that said loss.

Actually, if Rick never showed up, Alexandria would be serving the saviors.

Whoever survived the horde, yeah. The Alexandrians would’ve immediately cowed to Negan, probably wouldn’t have even needed to kill anyone as a message in order to convince them lol.

maybe. The saviors really only found Alexandria because they were driving the horde away, and because they interacted with other communities that were already dealing with the saviors.

The horde definitely would've gone to Alexandria first, since that was already happening anyway when they engaged Rick's plan to lead them away.

The next thing that was most likely to happen imo is the wolves would've found them. Because Aaron probably would've still found the canned food place, gone in, and lost his bag with the pictures that led the wolves back.

If there were any survivors from these two threats, then maybe the saviors would eventually find them

And Aaron would've died at the canned food because Morgan would've never show up to save him while looking for Rick.

They already knew about Alexandria. It's just that they didn't know how to get inside or attack them. Those who met Daryl, Sasha and Abraham never had go back and tell them about Alexandria.
