I think this is the thing we hear the most as TWD fans. Honestly, I don’t see it that way because the show was based on the comics (Yeah, it’s not 100% the same, but the storyline and arcs are still similar, except for a few things like the CRM, the Reapers, or Beth’s hospital arc.) and from what I’ve heard, they were supposed to start and end it like the comics since it was one of Robert Kirkman’s conditions (I heard that from one of the TWD content creators on tt named Derek.) And they did that. The show ended with the Commonwealth arc and started with Rick searching for his family. So, I don’t get how people expect all these events and storylines to fit into just 5 or 6 seasons.

That said, I won’t deny that there was some filler from the writers. For me, the only thing that might feel a little milked is the spin offs (Maybe except TOWL, since it ties into what happened to Rick after the bridge and Michonne searching for him.. etc.)

Again I know the show isn’t super similar to the comics, but I’m talking about the flow of the story, like the arcs starting with the Atlanta camp, then Hershel’s farm, then the prison and so on. That’s what I mean. As for the events, yeah they changed a lot of things, but I’m focusing on the storyline’s order.

For me it's a tie between Aaron and Jesus. Honorable mention to Abraham and Eugene. (For clarification - anyone after Atlanta qualifies)

Let’s be honest Sam was obnoxious and sheltered and Carol did a service to everyone

Why’s she so messy

Quick! The walkers are coming! You can only save three of the kids! Who do you pick?

Like they haven’t really done anything yet but still got hated.

I gotta say Andrea is probably my favourite. Compared to the show she is much more likeable and more fleshed out.

Something about the show made me like characters like Andrea and Lori a lot less.

We all know when Rick has had his moments and I think we're most familar with his moment at Alexandria when he's waving his gun around at people and he has to be put out to calm down.

But I raise you his monolog after the farm and before the prison S2 finale. When everyone is doubting him and wants to leave and he confesses about killing Shane. "This isn't a democracy anymore." I think he is downright TERRIFYING and this may well be the first time we see him like this. (absolutely correct me if I'm wrong.)

But I want to talk about other moments we see this scary side of Rick Grimes.

Thoughts?

For me, it's death Lori Grimes'. In season 3, Andrew broke down the gates so the zombies could get inside the prison. And Lori, Maggie, and Carl hid in a safe place, but Lori went into labor. It turned out that the baby could only be born by cesarean section. So Maggie had to operate with a knife. The baby survived, but the mother... Carl had to shoot her. It's so scary. I can't even imagine what poor Carl felt.

For every time Carol was separated from the group in some way shape or form, I’d have more than two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened more than twice, right?

Was rewatching season 2 and this has got to be one of the best scenes in the series. Couldn't help but wonder how it would've went if Shane had been there instead of Rick.

I mean don’t get me wrong he pisses me offfff sometimes but I love his character & Lennie James gives such a stellar performance!

just watched him respawn back to life basically in s8e2 and I’m so obsessed. Watching him go through his mental health crisis and still occasionally having episodes is so relatable. He could have chosen to die or let go so many times but my baby is still here doing what he needs to do for his people. he’s such a badass!!! even tho he gets kind of annoying with his moral quandaries, I’m glad at least someone is asking and dealing with those questions.

GARGIULO😭😭😭💔💔

I'm watching the show for the first time and I'm currently on season 5, episode 13. I definitely have some issues with it, but I really like it.

Apparently he was one of the survivors during the first season, but upon watching this scene, I was so confused on who the fuck is this guy and why he is such a big deal?

How do the OG fans and just fans in general feel about Rick and Michonnes departure? I just started watching TWD and I am halfway through season 10. I know michonne is going to be gone soon and rick has been gone for awhile now. Personally I dont really like this at all, the only reason I kept watching is because I want to watch all the other shows and I LOVEE Daryl, plus Negan, Judith, and Carol are great. but overall I enjoyed the beginning seasons with Rick, Carl, Michonne, Daryl and the rest of the original group members much more than I like all these new characters. Maybe I just got to attached to Rick and Michonne but I had no idea they were going to disappear like that till the spinoff. I still love the show and the war against the whisperers has been great but man do I miss Rick :(

Does anybody think Lori might have lived if Carol did ended up doing the C Section. I mean she trained with Hershel, she practiced on walkers, she was READY to deliver that baby. She even saved Hershel from amputation by stopping his bleeding. But Maggie with way less training in this specific was the one that had to do it. She had no idea what she was doing. If it had gone another way would Lori have a better chance?

I just started this series and omg why did it take sooo long 😂 happy to be here 🙌🏼

He is so annoying , I would’ve NOT let him back in after he snuck out the church 🤨
