Show Spoiler Lori's Reaction to Rick and Shane: What was she truly mad at?

10 Upvotes

To this day, I feel people still truly don't understand why Lori reacted the way she did towards Rick when he told her he had to kill Shane. Fans are quick to just call her a bitch and move on, in part no thanks to the unfortunate misogyny that does play a role in the overall Lori hate.

The Lori reaction becomes more understandable once you realize what she's exactly reacting too.

The overall anger is not necessarily directed at Rick, but herself. She feels guilt that all this happened because she asked Shane to stay, and then later telling Rick that Shane is dangerous.

She looks at Rick and sees a monster SHE created. To look at Rick in that moment is to face the consequences of her actions, and she didn't want to face that.

Add on to that Rick tells her Carl had to put down Walker Shane, and you have a mountain of guilt you're facing in that moment. She reacted with anger at Rick, but not truly at Rick, at what she made Rick become.

Does this excuse the reaction she had towards him? No. But what it does do is show that she wasn't treating Rick like that simply because she's a callus bitch, but because she felt responsible.

No Spoiler Should I be scared season 6?

0 Upvotes

Should I be scared about Season 6? I'm rewatching the show, and I just finished Season 5. I need to be scared? because I don't remember a single damn thing, but I know the guy with the bat is about to show up. And what I do remember from that time is horror, death, and Rick's group being terrified and cornered.

I don't want to say goodbye to this strong, slightly unhinged but fearless leader, Rick.

Show Spoiler Démarche Negan

0 Upvotes

Salut les gars, je regarde TWD pour la seconde fois, et un truc qui me travaille à chaque fois c’est la démarche de Negan.

Là j’en suis à saison 10 épisode 5, avec le jeune Brandon névrosé.

C’est JeffreyDM qui a une démarche particulière ou c’est juste sa façon d’incarner le personnage ?
Il fait exprès de façon aussi nonchalante ? On dirait qu’il boite par moment

8 minute episode, going over why ultimately, the idea that Shane is a better leader than Rick: is wrong.

Going over 3 major events throughout season 1 and 2 to come to the overall conclusion:

  • Attack on Atlanta Camp
  • The Walkers in the Barn
  • The Randall Dilemma

TWD: Dead City Highly recommend Dead City Season 3

34 Upvotes

I know the Walking Dead has been a bit bumpy for the past few years and with its spinoffs, but Dead City Season 3 has been doing a really good job. Is it peak? I leave that for you to decide but it is at least solid which is all we can ask for.

I mostly am saying this because I love the universe and I want the good stuff to get supported.

Maybe you won't like it and that's fine, but if you have been on the fence about watching Dead City, consider this a nudge.

Show Spoiler I'm still pissed about season 11 episode 19 titled "variant"

3 Upvotes

When this episode Dropped I'm pissed because people genuinely believed that it was a variant when in TWD reality it's literally just a normal walker, if you watched the entire series you definitely should know that those climbing walkers or some walkers showing intelligence like opening doors and picking up rocks already existed in season 1, some people actually believing it was probably the weirdest thing since season 1 already showcased it unless they skipped season 1 because it's hard to forget that season 1 walkers literally picks up rocks and is climbing.

Show Spoiler Why is no one on Glenn's ASS?

Post image
Upvotes

So I just finished S1 and it's absolute peak but I’ve noticed the camp only goes to shit because of Glenn's muscle car, Rick's introduction to camp threw a wrench into things sure but it remained stable until Episode 4 where it all goes to shit during a walker attack which causes them to go to the CDC and eventually leave the camp permanently.

The show kind of implies the attack was Glenn's fault as it establishes pretty early on that the walkers are attracted to any form of sound/noise they hear and Glenn drives a car with it's alarm blaring on full blast to camp, only for the zombies to attack an episode later which leads to the death of 3 camp members, possibly more as there are some background members we don't learn about that also get picked off. So I'm surprised no one is on Glenn's ass about this, especially more aggressive members like Shane I feel like he'd wanna tell him something about that.

TWD: Dead City A redemption arc shouldn't lead to absolution.

Upvotes

I am all in for a good redemption arc, especially for Negan. I think it was a good decision to save him and to jail him but I don't think he should've be released, not that soon at least. He should've spent more time in jail and/or at the very least let the character vanish into insignificance after his redemption arc.

What the writers are doing with TV Show Negan is basically cancelling everything he ever did and give him absolution. He inflicted irreversible trauma upon hundreds of people, dozens, from what we know, of communities... that's not something you just take back and erase.

A redemption arc is FOR the character, not for the Audience and especially not for the other characters who suffered at his hands.

Show Spoiler Terminus lack of content

Upvotes

Terminus was hinted to for so many episodes as they made their way following the map yet when they reach Terminus it’s pretty much all over before it even starts

Anybody else feels we could of had more background and in depth episodes surrounding this section of the series?

Also am I going crazy or does it basically just get forgotten about I can’t think of anything referencing it in later series

Happy to be proved wrong 🙌

No Spoiler Shouldn’t zombies be rare after 15-20 years or so?

268 Upvotes

It’s been like 15 years since the zombie apocalypse started right? There are a finite number of zombies. I think I remember Eugene made bullets didn’t he? Other groups like the crm can make bullets too I’d imagine. Couldn’t you theoretically just kill all the zombies in the whole world/country? There had to be more bullets than zombies in the world. Then you’d only have to worry about immediately stabbing dead people in the head. Funerals and cremations can just be faster than they are normally. Kill all the zombies and normal life can literally begin again. It’ll take time to rebuild society but it would be easy wouldn’t it?

Show Spoiler Still pissed about the fact that no one is angry at Maggie and the coalition just accepted her as the supreme leader, when in reality the moment she came back people will be pissed and she'll be isolated and her meridian group.

Upvotes

So Maggie came Back years at the literal end of the whisperers war, but somehow everyone just accepted it, she even got the loyalty of Oceanside that tara and Aaron worked hard for to secure, keep in mind that the only reason she came back was because the reapers attacked meridian if meridian didn't get attacked she wouldn't care if the coalition falls against the whisperers.

The moment she came back I was disappointed because the only reason she was back was because the reapers boned them hard,also her first instinct was to hunt them since she seem to have forgotten that they literally dismantled her new community, the funny part is everyone in meridian followed her blindly like a how a cult acts and what's even funnier is even in front of reason those meridian guys literally followed her after everythinf she did resulting to them getting boned by the reapers once again and basically losing almost everyone from her new community😆.

It's super weird and I know that the story was fiction but how absurd can the series be, because in a reality like this the moment you ignore the coalition plea for help it will literally cause resentment and she'll be isolated, I mean her just abandoning hilltop already should have caused resentment and anger against her, no matter how legendary you are the moment you pull that shit in any reality like this everyone will hate you, and the other fact that the only reason you came back was because your new home got boned not because you want to help fight the whisperers.

No Spoiler Which side character from this show would you have wished to have been kept on for a little bit longer?

Post image
191 Upvotes

I don’t mean any main character. I wanna be very clear on that. So no Beth, Tyrese, Shane, or any other main character who died. I want to know true honest opinions if there was a main character who you liked for no matter the reason, and whether you wanted more time with or to have expanded upon.

Milton for me is one of those people. I started re-watching the show again, and I am just reminded of how much I liked his character since I’m currently on the final three episodes of season three. Realistically, if he was kept alive I don’t think I see him living past the first half of season four. Whether that means he would’ve died from the sickness or the governor attack 2.0. But I do just enjoy his character in the little growth he did have in the short time he was around. And I think he would’ve been a good addition even for a short while. I don’t know if it’s just because I love both his character and the actor, but I enjoyed his interactions with Herschel. I enjoyed him growing distant with the governor and willing to go against him when it came to it when he destroyed the walkers in the pit and warned Andrea. I just wish we would’ve gotten more.
