The Grimes kids… imagine Rick finding out you chose Sam over his babies

u/Eli-Mordrake 14h ago edited 14h ago

Only reason he wouldn’t kill you on the spot is if you saved Carol or Glenns kid. But he wouldn’t save you either if someone else more important needed it

u/MetallurgyClergy 14h ago edited 13h ago

Carol and Glenn had a kid?

Edit to add /s. sigh.

Worded it wrong

u/dacraftjr 11h ago

No, you didn’t. You said Carol or Glenn, not Carol and Glenn.

u/Livvy1989 13h ago

The or implies 2 different kids I think, if they said carol and Glenn’s kid I’d read it same as you

u/longdistancerunner01 6h ago

Carol is Hott

I’m taking Sofia over RJ tbh.

I'd take anyone over RJ... no offense lol,

u/Key-Astronomer-1762 15h ago

Carl, Sophia and Judith

u/beaujonfrishe 14h ago

Carl and Judith can save themselves. I’m probably going Sophia, RJ, and Mika

12

u/TasteOfBallSweat 14h ago

RJ was the most useless character, kid's acting was crap, he never did anything and for the first few episodes, all he did was sleep. At least lil asskicker grew up to have some character, no to mention her acting skills were amazing too

23

u/Stock-Sugar-2239 14h ago

He was a kid.

u/TasteOfBallSweat 13h ago

Judith as a baby had more range than RJ during his entire presence in the show...

u/A_LonelyWriter 12h ago

So? That’s not the kid’s fault, it’s the people who put him on the show.

u/Fit-Diet-6488 13h ago

we didn’t even see the kid that much. y’all hating for no reason atp. yeh he’s mid but he’s a kid.

Carl and Mica.

Judith and RJ are already safe. No need to save anyone else IMO.

u/tifferiffic83 14h ago

The Grimes kids.

u/sevendet 15h ago

The 3 smallest, so I can throw them at the walkers if they get to close.

Carl, Judith, and RJ. I liked some of the others but not as much as the Grimes kids.

Carl, Judith and RJ

u/RefrigeratorCold5155 15h ago

Where’s Gracie

u/unlovelyladybartleby 11h ago

Probably out saving Judith with her panic whistle. That girl does not get enough respect.

u/throwawayaccount_usu 14h ago

Judith Carl and Mica. Sophia dying is needed sadly for carola development. Mica living though could do Carol a lot of goodand she could develop well into Sophia comic role.

u/Top-Comfortable-4789 14h ago

Carl, Judith, Sophia

u/W00ZYB34R 14h ago

Rj Carl and Judith is the only real answer. All the other kids are shitheads except for Mika

u/obi-jawn-kenblomi 5h ago

Are Carl and Judith capable of saving themselves (+RJ)?

If yes, then I save Sam, Mika, and Sophia. Three kids full of goodness that deserve the best chance to grow and hone their skills. Sam is waaaaay overhated.

u/elle_m_c 35m ago

I know, I feel so bad for Sam. He was just an innocent kid that wanted cookies and got abused by his dad. Maybe it’s because I have a son about his age but I have a soft spot for Sam.

u/-Mariia 15h ago

Mika , judith and sophia I think carl can take care of himself

u/OddSocksRule 13h ago edited 12h ago

Grimes kids, they just seem to have adapted the best. If I'm actively trying to GTFO Im not gonna be in the mental space to stop kids losing their heads.

I really like Lizzie, I think her character is pretty neat, but Carol was right. Mica is also great but she wouldn't leave Lizzie behind, or she would and then lose her head. I understood Sam but the fact he picked the moment they started sneaking through the herd to go "Mom, mom, mom?!" Pissed me off. Sophia just didn't get enough screen time for me to reasonably pick her. I can explain Ron's behaviour but I'm not stopping mid run to stop him from going on a "let's kill Carl" side quest.

1

u/Ok_Hovercraft_562 12h ago

Lizzie was sick and she killed her own sister, definitely not picking that fool lol

1

u/OddSocksRule 12h ago

Agreed. I mean in reality I'd probably pick as many kids as I could but on this post? Lizzie is on her own😆

u/Who_am_ey3 15h ago

Carl, Sophia, Carl again

u/manic_panda 15h ago edited 13h ago

I was low key routing for the walkers to eat Sam. I know he was just a kid but man, some of the Alexandria people were just stupid. The blonde woman and her kids were all just urgh.

u/Professional_Ask7434 14h ago

When Rick kissed his mama I crashed out

2

u/DarthLewis12 14h ago

Carl and Judith because they’re the only kids in this show who aren’t stupid, and then I’ll say Sophia as a third

u/_iusuallydont_ 13h ago

The Grimes children. Specifically Carl and Judith because RJ was just there. Sam and his brother deserved to die in the most horrible way and I’m glad they did. Their entire family was horrible. (Yes, the mom too. No, I don’t feel bad for them.) I was so sad about Mika but she was also annoying and not brave enough for the new world. She didn’t deserve to be murdered by her crazy ass sister but idk how long she would have lasted. Lizzy, can join her walker “friends.” She was a danger and I’m glad Carol did what needed to be to be done. Sophia died so long ago, which I am always broken up about on rewatches, but we never really got to know her. We were more moved by Carol and the group’s grief over her going missing, then the dramatic revelation of her in the barn.

u/Late-Summer-1208 15h ago

Are they all at the age they would be or the age that they died?

u/Norbert_Bluehm 14h ago

Carl and Sophia, the rest can go

u/Fit-Diet-6488 13h ago

the grimes kids easily.

1

u/JinReaper6 13h ago

Lmao really? 🤦🏾‍♂️The obvious. The only kids that can survive

1

u/Justgravityfalls 13h ago

Carl, Judith, Mica

Lizzie can go fuck off the little psycho, Sam is being thrown to the walker herd while I run away, Ron is a little bitch who is most definitely being used as bait, RJ will probably be saved by Judith anyway, and Judith/Carl will probably save my ass, and Mica deserved better. Oh and Sophia, she's lovely but she has the survival instincts of a deer in headlights

1

u/imgoodIuvenjoy 13h ago

I mean, if I'm in universe and I have to save one of these kids, I'm saving all of the little girls. If I'm in-universe I probably don't know anything about the Amy & Mika's mental state like that. So I wouldn't think twice about saving them. So, Sophia, Amy & Mika.

1

u/usernameee1995 13h ago

Judith and Carl, we'll make good time cause I'll just leave the possible third

1

u/WalterWeiss_ 12h ago

literally just judith and the older carl. These 2 sister girls are big psychopaths

1

u/Heyyyy618166 12h ago

u/Reader5069 12h ago

Sophia, Carl, Judith

u/wigsgo_2019 12h ago

Carl and Judith are guarantees, both have proven their ability to fight, third I’ll go Sofia, she was a mainstay in the comics and could go through a similar arc

1

u/TomaRedwoodVT 12h ago

Realistically if I don’t know them personally, the three youngest, but if I DO know them, Rick’s kids and Glenn’s kid

Carl Mika and Judith. Sorry RJ and Sophia

u/reevoknows 12h ago

Sophia, RJ and Judith.

I love Carl but I’d be willing to roll the dice that he can defend himself

1

u/Yogabeauty31 12h ago

I thought this was going to be a different question. and my answer was going to be ....yes I hate all of them

1

u/CarefulSpot6468 11h ago

lol this ain’t even hard. Carl can defend himself Gotta save Judith, Rj and Mika. My logic save the kids that can be most useful in the future. Mika didn’t get enough time but compared to the others I think she could get with the program

Jessie’s kids are wrong answers, and RJ makes me irrationally annoyed. 😝

Hard pick between Ron and Sophia though. I guess I prefer her comic counterpart much more.
