Hi all, I’ve been watching TWD for the first time and I have to say I’m abso hooked! Finally joined the Reddit now I am on the final season (no very ending spoilers please!)
I have absolutely loved it, and found myself desperate to race through. > I struggled after Carl died, honestly. If Rick’s actor was leaving WHY kill him off? Especially as Michonne goes too shortly after. < Wish Carl could have stayed longer 🥲. Season 11 has just won me back round excited to see what’s going to come of the common wealth! It feels very return to form / what I’d like to see. Anyway, I digress…
I know Daryl and Carol get a lot of love (rightfully perhaps, I enjoy them too) but who are your favourite characters? Both main cast and random? Is Rick anyones? 😂 Is your opinion, as far as you’re aware, general or the fandom? Educate me :)
Norman Reedus as Daryl I can’t help it. Randomly I guess the guy with the mullet was pretty funny
Right he’s so likable! 😂 I see why people love him
Can't choose just one or couple of them. Everyone's got some different story behind them :)
do you mean to say why NOT kill rick off?
I meant why kill Carl if Rick was offski, but don’t think my writing was very clear there sorry! Ricks whole purpose was Carl, if rock is gone Carl can carry the story. Having both of them gone leaves a lot of weight on Judith and RJ who are both so young. Carl was just getting to an interesting adult age really wasn’t he?
oh yeah absolutely, from a narrative standpoint it was crucial to have atleast one of them stay for sure. If rick's actor was only going to be around for a couple episodes in s9, they should have stretched his scenes over a season and maybe a bigger time jump with judith around 15 or so years old, and then we could expect her to carry the show
Rick, Michonne, Glenn & Maggie have always been my top 4
Rick, Abraham, Daryl & Beta. God i would have loved to see Rick and Abraham fight the whisperers.
I love Jerry! He's loyal, he's friends with Ezekiel, he protects the children and he carries an ax. Somehow, in the end of the world, he maintains his humanity the best out of all of them. He still plays, he laughs, and he loves. And handsome as the devil! Love that guy, 11/10.
Simon and Merle.
Simon is intelligent, psychotic, arrogant, charismatic and hilarious with a massive power trip - basically, very interesting to observe.
Merle is a good guy deep inside - despite all this 'racist, sexist, heartless redneck' facade he built around himself. His redemption arc was amazing, and his knife-hand adds to his badassery.
Excellent choices! I never thought I’d say it during season one, but I was actually so sad when merle went the way he did. Poor Daryl too 🥲 Simon was indeed hilarious, negan and co were the best villains hands down
I totally agree with you! And I'm glad you, too, appreciate them in your own way. Is there any character you genuinely can't stand?
Dale. I will never forgive Carl for killing him….and for the rest of the show I hated him. lol I was so happy when he finally kicked the bucket.
Jerry no contest
Daryl and Carol
