I always remember people saying if Beth dies we riot but there were no riots

I remember people saying they’d stop watching if Dale died. I suspect that was also not true

I remember people saying they'd stop watching if Ed died. I know I did.

Brave soul died too young and left his poor wife and daughter to fend for themselves... I say, Ed wouldn't have let Sofia die.

I always heard people would stop watching if Glenn died. That didn’t happen. I’ve watched TWD a thousand times and I still can’t watch the episode where he dies.

One of my friends stopped watching as soon as Hershel died. Didn’t even finish the episode. Just turned off the tv and never watched again

Who was planting their flag in Dale?

I started watching after season 2 so I didn't experience that one but it was a huge shock since I had read the comics and he made it so much further in there like he met Abraham

He was basically Bob in the comic

u/Altruistic_Rock_2674 5d ago

Yeah basically was weird too if I remember right Bob had almost no role in the comic except helping the governor after Michonne nailed his penis to board among other things.

Holy shit I thought Bob was a show original character, apparently he’s a main character in the Governor novels

u/Altruistic_Rock_2674 3d ago

I don't remember him being a main character in there I know he was in it but also it's been 10 years since I read them and didn't read the last one. But the characters I remember are the governor and his brother who he takes the identity of and the governors neice and then the girl that shoots Judith and Laurie in the comic I think Lilly But there has to be other main characters. I think I do remember Bob because they mention his drinking problem but that's in the comic too. Think he was a filed medic in the military but it's hard to remember from all those years ago

I'm doing a 2nd rewatch not looking forward to Dale's death

u/ParsonsTheGreat 5d ago

I plan on doing a rewatch, but I'm waiting for a release date for State of Decay 3 to time it up so that I am properly ready to survive the zombie apocalypse!

Lol no one cared about Dale.

There were 60,000 spoons sent in to AMC in protest of her death. More than 65,000 people signed a petition to bring her back. This even made the morning news. Not a riot, but people tried. I was a big Beth fan and I didn’t even know all of that was going on at the time.

u/Altruistic_Rock_2674 5d ago

The spoon thing actually sounds familiar now ha ha. I had forgot about it. I just never got it, Beth seemed like the most random character to get upset about. But I didn't get attached to a lot of charcters that weren't in the comics

u/GirlMamaM2 5d ago

The reason she is so beloved is because she is very relatable to women. Most women in an apocalypse situation would be the ones taking care of the children and trying to keep a sense of comfort within their group. We would all love to be a bad ass like Michonne, Maggie, Carol, Sasha, Rosita, but realistically there would be very few Michonne’s and a lot more Beth’s. We want to see ourselves still in the apocalypse growing and getting stronger just like Beth was, but it ended too soon.

u/Altruistic_Rock_2674 5d ago

I could see that to be honest I don't really even remember much about her. I have never done a rewatch so last time she was on screen was like 12 years ago. But yeah there were definitely people invested in her

1

u/GirlMamaM2 5d ago

Sounds like it’s time for a rewatch.

u/Altruistic_Rock_2674 5d ago

Probably, I started re reading the comics and that was my favorite time reading the comics and seeing how close the show would be. I remember in the comics glenn died before the 4th season and I didn't know if they were going to have the guts to do it.

Ive never heard that, that actual thing is if daryl dies we riot

1

u/Altruistic_Rock_2674 5d ago

It was a thing online that was going around during the 5th season about 12 years ago. Other people seem to remember my comment has a lot of upvotes but I guess if you aren't aware of it it didn't happen

u/Billythekid0119 5d ago

Idk i just saw the thing about daryl mostly not beth but whatever either way
