A Brief Retrospective | TV-Show Season 9D VS Comic Book Differences Explained | The Walking Dead

[@Flipitmixit]

We were ROBBED not seeing Andrew Lincolns Rick react to and deal with the whisperers

[@RedMist59]

I can't even imagine what the structuring for the script is like for these recent retrospectives with all the differences between the show and comics. So you deserve a whole bunch of credit for the effort you put into these videos!

[@Macroprosopus]

I loved the exchange in the comics when Rick said to Negan: "Have you noticed how little you use profanity these days? Why do you think that is?" Negan replies with: "I don't see the point. Best to save energy." Rick says: "No, that's not it. It's because I've f***ing neutered you like a dog. You've got no more fight left, you pathetic sack of sh*t." Would've been cool to see this in the show.

[@PricefieldPunk]

Seeing Jesus get that death pissed me off SOOOOOOOO much. With Andrew Lincoln gone from the show i was fully expecting Jesus to get a much bigger role esp since he's so essential in the comics

[@tatersalad76]

Jesus was always a treat in the comics, but most of his big cool comic moments had already passed by the time that his TV show actor wanted out. Jesus bodying Saviors and Negan solo was peak Badass Jesus imo

[@Shrowan]

as someone who never read the comics it makes me furious to find out what jesus couldve been, he seemed like such a cool character when he was introduced but I quickly forgot about him

[@bishbosh4815]

It's funny how the walkers actually ARE evolving now 😂

[@flaccid_sandwich]

I was a monthly comic reader and a fan of the show who actually stopped at "the day will come when you won't be" bc by that point I was predicting every single way the comic was adapted and felt no need to watch the episodes when I got the predictions completely right too many times. I did eventually go back after RIP dropped and tried to get back into the show but was deeply dissapointed. Without even the shows added level of confusion bc of the whisperers showing up and then also introducing their completely nonsensical notion that walkers that had been decaying for 10 years somehow developed muscle mass and other upgrades mostly seen in the "of the dead" franchise. I almost stopped reading the comic for this reason. I thought if they're gonna make them super-zombies at this point I'm out. Thankfully, I kept reading and the whisperer reveal was one of the best ones in the series imo. Although I did almost drop it entirely right then and there. Unfortunately the show still revealed the whisperers but kept the zombie evolution bs. I mean come on guys this isn't l4d we're talking about here jeez.

[@DourFlower]

I've been looking forward to this for a long time

[@MrMNo13]

The Whisperers' music had a little bit of the original Nightmare on Elm Street tone/ding to it.

[@Rippyy.]

The Rosita thingy is the ONLY part of s9 that really annoyed me.

[@NicoParasite]

I was thinking about the next video yesterday, couldn't be happier with this notification. Keep up the great work friend, i know how much harder is going to be for you to keep comparing both adaptations with the rest of the Seasons lol but we'll be here patiently waiting for those 😊

[@natvelo]

nah i agree, when i watched that s9 ep that ended with the walkers speaking i was soo mad, luckily i was watching later so didn't have to wait long to find out, but yeah variant walkers that can talk are a big no no and i was convinced for a sec that that was what the whisperers were

[@Smilezado]

This. This is the moment I quit the series, seeing Jesus die, just a few episodes after Rick, was too much for me to get behind (and also I was already logging of bc of the idea of a 9yo going on walker hunts)

[@LauraaFinn]

I am a hardcore fan of the Walking Dead- well.. shit. I've never even watched Walking Dead, and I've been following this retrospective series this long? What am I doing.

[@jaski4022]

idk why the hate with darabont's zombies, they're just a bit more special. nothing really mindbreaking. they use objects, they remember events from their pasts and they're just a bit more fast. what's the deal, seriously. it just adds more to the world and makes twd more unique when compared with other zombie media.

[@Koroto]

I'd argue it's the complete opposite - it makes the TWD world more generic. Outside of TWD, can you name another modern ip where zombies are just dumb and slow? Every other ip out there incorporates special variants (L4D, Dying Light etc etc) or at least runners (World War Z, TLOU etc etc) - the core appeal of TWD for me was always that you could predict what the zombies would do and that's exactly what made those times where you are overwhelmed feel exciting. It's not a contrived situation where you are held up in a house and, surprise, a special zombie knocks down the door or something along those lines - every mistake is your own. Also Darabont's pseudo-intelligent walkers are a straight rip from the Living Dead series btw. All that said, with how TWDU is moving now, I've given up on any sort of consistent logic to the walkers and I'm just rolling with it. Variants, specials, volatiles - sure, why not. 😅

[@jaski4022]

@@Koroto i'm just saying they were not variants back then, they were just how the show portrayed their version of zombies. first season walkers were still dumb, just a bit more unique. l4d, dying light and tlou incorporate special variants for the sake of enhancing the gameplay, and they're actually really special when compared to the common infected/zombie type. first season walkers were just a bit more weirder, nothing really special as i said. one or two of them were not really a problem, and the hordes were still the major threat. skilled characters still managed to kill them really easily. i just think it added a really good narrative point for drama, due to them remembering bits from their past lifes.

Just so you know, You didnt lose 30% of the views on the rambling part

[@floxx_8083]

Everyone stay fcking calm STAY CALM HE UPLOADED A NEW RETROSPECTIVE!!!!!!

[@Solflaria]

30:35 also was needed in the show, instead of a doctor being magically added into the story just like that. It could have fore shadow the death of siddic, since he is a doctor and got killed by a whisper Infiltrator who was a doctor. It would build the siddic and the Doctor(forgot His name) confrontation that would end in the death of our Siddic.

[@yusraarab9910]

[@JaumDx]

"they like Glenn, Glenn died, they stopped watching" - Even for the more casual viewers of any series, dropping it because a character that you enjoyed died is very childish and shouldn't be taken as normal

[@Koroto]

Not arguing about whether or not it's "normal" (personally, I can't see myself dropping a show bc of something like that), but that's the reality of the situation and I can't really blame them. 🤷‍♂️ At the end of the day, it's entertainment and they have no obligation to keep watching. If they go out of their way and start critiquing the show for something like that, then obviously it shouldn't be treated that seriously, but I can guarantee that there are casual viewers who have dropped the show because they didn't like the first 25 seconds of some random episode lmao. To be totally honest, I think for quite a few people it would be very healthy to just drop shows and not force themselves to watch something they no longer enjoy (this goes for everything, not just TWD) 😂

[@JaumDx]

@@Koroto ok, fair 😅 Btw, very cool video series, I've been binge watching this I not having read the comics it's very interesting to see how the tv show differs more and more. Thanks for putting these up

[@Koroto]

Glad you're enjoying it! Definitely recommend reading through the comics yourself if you get the chance! 👍

[@kevinalford]

It's not fascinating for people to hate and shit on a show because it changes. See: the Simpsons, Star Wars, Star Trek, the MCU, etc. etc. Fuck those kinds of people. They don't owe you anything. Move on.

[@prodigal_rebel_2062]

I cried when Jesus got killed off but later I understood why because Tom wanted to leave the show because the previous writer (Scott Gimple) didn't utilize his character enough. I felt so much better when I met Tom Payne back in February at Creep I.E. Con 2023.

[@Riverfilly153]

Lydia is the best. Wish she had more to do in the final season. And that they would’ve given her enough attention to remember she lost a hand at the end. Regardless, the actress that plays her does a bang up job and breaks my heart to see her go through so much trauma and turmoil. Her relationship with Negan is great as well, adds a lot of complexity and moral questions.

[@MC-zr6gc]

Wooden walls, because after all the years that they were there, plus all the home improvement stores and abandoned construction sites just laying around, nobody ever thought to build a STONE WALL. smmfh @ the so called "survivors" . Still a fan, but still. One thing Hilltop did right, was having a lot of trees cleared so they can see incoming threats early...BUT only cleared in the "front" though, leaving them wide open for infiltration and attack from behind and the sides. Still more than Alexandria did, with their dense forest on all sides, just inviting a sneak attack.

[@matejfrydrych5770]

28:17 i knew comics were dark but not that dark (like holy shit)

[@jjkilhij9531]

Love to see it! I do have mixed feelings on the later use of the walkers. I do love that the majority of this series and franchise sticks by making the slow moving zombies the main threat when it comes to the dead. But honestly, had they known that the variant walkers would eventually be reimplemented into the show, the Whisperer arc wouldve been a great place to officially insert them (I say officially since there’s definitely some smaller moments throughout later season where the walkers might act a bit off that can now just be written off as a variant). Would’ve been cool to see the Whisperers even a little confused/shaken on why their reliable strategy with the dead is starting to work less 💯

[@sali5878]

The comics are sooooo much better I need to reread!!!

[@rdvangogh]

I love and appreciate your content so much! Your humour brings something really great to these retrospectives. Your work is great!

[@ThierryBerard]

I have a lot of mix feeling for that season, the first watch i had was good for me, but the season after that one... is the one who made me quit. I love what they did with Henry, yhea its not as good than Carl himself but seeing that story with a more ''innocent kid'' than Carl was interesting. Lydia was okay in the series. it was interesting at first, seeing her with a more human side. its not a bad thing because i don't know if the series would be capable to pull of a good disconnected character like the comics. I feel it would be cringy like Juanita (no offence to the actress, I do feel it was the writing that was bad) But yhea.. the comics was far more well done at this point. Thank you again for that video, it was fun as always. I don't comment very often and i don't expect anyone to see it, but thanks again.

[@quadpod1]

love to see a new koroto video

[@bigdoubleu117]

It's odd to think people started leaving the show because the walkers may have started evolving and speaking. To be honest, I was on the opposite end of the spectrum and was super excited that the zombies were evolving. That episode I found quite creepy and was on the edge of my seat in suspense which all culminated when Jesus was killed... However, when it was revealed that it was just people in masks, I was disappointed. And actually did stop watching for quite a few episodes. Then what's even more annoying and a slap in the face was in the last 2 episodes of the series finale they did introduce evolved zombies that could climb walls and open doors, but at that point, I was just thinking, too little too late.

[@LazyMe]

Not to knock on your script or writing or what not, but I wouldnt classify myself as a hardcore fan of twd as I'm mainly just watching this as I watched overanalyzing aot and have watched twd so im just watching this cuz why not

It's gonna be a great watch, gotta bring some food, thanks for the quick upload

[@Solflaria]

Wait she licked- the wound- 😅 ok well ok-

[@The-Ent1ty]

I stuck around when the moment the "walkers" started to whisper (mainly because of left 4 dead 2) It just heightens the zombie threat even higher than when zombies first popped up.

Seriously. Those two not only attacked first but also choice the WORST victims possible. Both are children of group leaders. IMO their whole families would be lucky if they weren't exiled. Maggie was always a dog 💩 leader though. The show was a lot better before they gave them all little communities to run

[@darkknight5541]

I'm glad that in both the comic and show the talking zombies turned out to just be a red herring, even if I dislike The Whisperer arc in both. I like the variant walkers introduced, because it does keep the threat of the literal Walking Dead very much real, but I feel like if the walkers could talk it would just be silly. I mean, if they're smart enough to speak, why not try reasoning with them?
