[@ian7064]

@@1983metsfan I enjoyed season 6 with the death cult plotline. Though I've heard before that that season was apparently outsourced to ghost writers. Which would explain why it was actually good. Bc S5 is one of the most painfully boring seasons of television I've ever sat through.

[@edwardbentley]

You’re wrong after S3 and the death of all the terrible characters is when FTWD came into its own and with Morgan and Dwight joining the cast it was well worth the watch.

Chandler Riggs bought a house and planned on going to college in the area. He didn’t plan on leaving. F Scott Gimple. Great Video as usual

[@gateauxq4604]

Was gonna post this. Scott is such a POS for this alone but all the other unnecessary deaths were this icing on his ish cake. I think Chandler even quit acting which sucks because he was really moving away from the child actor curse and was starting to get pretty good at it.

[@waltertheterrible6062]

Carl’s death was stupid, after years of taking on walkers he finally get bit while helping some random character do something pointless? And all of a sudden he lost his balls and thinks we should make peace with the guy who JUST bombed your home and beat your friend’s heads in with a bat?

[@TRKJSR]

They did Carl so dirty with such an abrupt unceremonious death

[@akimacase]

It spoke volumes when you saw as many as 8-10 guys rush forward and just stack themselves on Ezekiel so that he could live. They believed in him and he needed to live to continue leading.

[@Phrankster163]

My biggest problem with the war against the Saviors is how they completely forget about the rules they'd set up earlier in the series. Suddenly, people rose as Zombies a minute after they'd died, even if we'd already seen in season one that it takes several hours to turn. Inconsistencies like those were one of the main things that turned me off from the series as a whole.

[@doctorstrange1893]

I thought it was acknowledged in universe that there's a huge variance in the reanimation time. Shane, as an example, reanimated very quickly.

[@rich925cal1]

@@doctorstrange1893 yup .. remember the opening episode of S3 of FTWD when the family gets captured by the militia and they’re killing prisoners JUST to find out how long it took for people to turn .. it varies from person to person

[@doctorstrange1893]

@rich925cal1 ah it's been a long minute since I've caught up with Fear. Forgot about that detail. I remember reading somewhere (probably wiki) that it's hypothesized that the manner of death will affect the reanimation time. The more violent the death, the faster the corpses rise. I only caught the end of the finale of world beyond. But it looks like that particular strain reanimated much faster.

[@BoogSReviews]

Season 8 is so underrated. It’s balls to the wall action in every episode. None of the episodes ever felt slow. Especially the back half. It’s one of my favorite seasons.

[@rob6912]

Worth checking out? I dropped the show sometime after negans introduction due to going to school and not having cable

[@doctorstrange1893]

@rob6912 I'm sure there's many who didn't like it going forward. But with the intro of Negan, things do pick up a bit in action. I felt it didn't drag out as much as season 6 or 7. Once they replaced gimple with Kang, it seems (to me) the show got a bit more interesting.

[@ponypals100]

I never watched the show again after the mid season finale 💀 I was soooooooo PISSED when they killed Carl off. I had to unfollow the entire cast on all social media (mind you I was like a teenager when it aired) because of how mad I was LMAO

[@jiggycalzone8585]

IMO Wrath is the true finale of TWD. Especially with no Carl Morales should have stayed for a while-- Hed be someone among the saviors who could vouch for Rick after the final battle and convert the saviors to his side. It would be easier to buy that Rick was able to convince so many of them, while Negan is still alive. I always liked Gavin- I like the implication that the reason the Kingdom had a bit of leeway on things is because they got the 'reasonable' guy

[@Mr.Ultra_MAGA]

Rick talks about the "broken window theory" in the show to Maggie before doing this.

[@avid.angler04]

It's always great to see your videos and progress. Keep up the amazing work, and I'm looking forward to seeing more once they are ready. Your dedication is inspiring!

Hey thanks so much mate! I really appreciate that

[@slizzle2290]

Also, good point bringing up Jared one of the slimiest and terrible Saviors who lasted way to long and caused crazy Morgan to come back.

[@BoogSReviews]

I got to meet the actor who played Jared at a convention and he is the sweetest guy ever. I told him he was a great actor because Jared was so unlikable lol it’s crazy how well he played the part and how drastically different he is as a person (which is a good thing).

[@kingdevin_]

I just finished rewatching the savior arc video so this came at a perfect time! Thank you for making this video and I’m looking forward to watching it! All out war was one of my favorite arcs more in the comics than the show but I still enjoyed it all the same.

[@Swell-Films]

All out war is seriously fantastic in the comics. One of my favourite arcs next to the whisperers. Season 8 has moments I really love, but overall I don’t think it translated as well

[@kingdevin_]

I completely agree with season 8 not handling this right and Carl’s death was the worst in this season in particular

[@NewWorldSwedeFinn]

Watching season 8 as it was airing live I didn't enjoy it. I hated negan and wanted it to be over. However I've gone back and re-watched the whole series again and honestly binge watching the saviors story arc was much more enjoyable. Not having the breaks in between episodes gave me a new perspective and helped it be more tolerable. There's still problems but I don't hate it anymore

[@TheNickSweat]

The Carl thing is easily explained : Gimple loves Morgan. So much so that he sent him over to FEAR to help Chambliss and Goldberg replace Madison as the lead. He had to ruin everything that wasn't in his image once he was put it charge. Dark days man. I would've loved to see Madison become the villain she was supposed to be.

[@langdonledwig3734]

I would count season 8B as Madison being evil or morally questionable

[@GenesisBoi]

Man it makes me wonder what they were thinking with that whole scrapyard scenario. What was the point if they were just going to abandon rick?

[@Swell-Films]

They’re a very strange addition. I think they were created with the thought of Simon massacring them from the beginning, but didn’t have a compelling story to get them to that point.

[@gateauxq4604]

The garbage people were objectively the worst thing in an arc full of questionable things. It made me question everything about Rick as a leader. It was so dumb and reflected awfully on him. I wonder if this wasn’t one of the straws that made Andrew Lincoln leave the show.

[@dragonballradiant2744]

Overwhelming numbers, remember the walkers can stand getting shot directly. They don’t take damage like you or me. Because those parts, of them aren’t alive anymore. A tiger doesn’t know. That you have to attack the head. It just hits the walkers pointlessly. Not doing any damage. That’s why Shiva, overtaken. And they can’t help her because she’s making too much noise. Which will draws more dead. Not only that, but the saviors can also hear the commotion with the tiger. Which means they can’t stick around for long. My issue, why bring Shiva at all. Other than to get her out of the budget. 16:50 beggars can’t be choosers. At this time rick believed that they’ve already won. And what’s once the trash people learned that. They will help finish it. So that they don’t become the next target after the saviors are gone. Rick even mentioned that. I think he simply does this. To make up for losing the weapon cash. In his fight with Dixon. But this is just me I’ve always been a season eight defender. I thought it was fine. Somethings didn’t make sense. But I didn’t hate it. As much as other people did.

[@Father_Daniel]

Great video! I actually like s8 alot besides the Carl situation. I really like your idea as using Morgan to be the character to push Rick for peace! Exspecially with Carl's crucial part to play in the whisper arc coming next.

[@gaberillman6778]

Hell yes!! I was waiting for this video!! I may have the dissenting opinion, but the All Out War story arc from the TV show is one of my favorite storylines! Seeing our group face off against their most formidable foes yet was exciting and interesting as hell!

[@hbsavage0387]

The issue I have with it is that every new hostile group is always “the most formidable foes yet” on top of the terrible writing and story telling. Also just straight up ignoring certain in universe rules like dead taking a while to rise and so on so forth it just stopped being enjoyable. Characters just seemed to lose depth that they had earned over many episodes and all in all they sacrificed the gritty feel of the show for some fast paced action.

[@TheFirebolt]

Omg I’ve been waiting for this!!!!

[@arnb8907]

I’ve been rewatching the walking dead when I have down time for the last two months. I’m on season 8 episode 8 right now and I’m so glad I found this video!!

[@kuhneegit]

Everyone says they stopped watching after Glenn died, but I stopped with Carl. Glenn’s death, while gut-wrenching, made thematic sense. It was supposed to completely tear everyone down for forcing him to kill sleeping people and it made a lot of sense for him to be a martyr in a sense. Carl’s death was DEFINITELY something involving contract issues with Chandler, because afterwards it felt like both the characters AND the writers had no clue what to do afterwards. It meant nothing in the end.

[@cliffjumper416]

Tell me something, though, in a show like The Walking Dead, when a character of high revealance to said show wants to leave, you're left with two options. Either give the character a big hoorah death, or have them disappear by either going off somewhere. The latter option works mainly for people you plan to make return, as for others? All that really makes sense is to put them on the chopping block. This is why I dont understand why people don't just get angry at the actors and actresses that want to leave, instead they take it out on the show entirely

[@Swell-Films]

Chandler Riggs has been very vocal on how it was not his choice to leave. Gimple claims it was for story reasons only and nothing else. I’ll criticize that decision all day.

[@langdonledwig3734]

Because Chandler Riggs bought a house on set as he was supposed to keep paying Carl but Gimple killed him off likely to not have to pay him an adults acting salary or whatever it’s called

[@Christian_H3rnand3z]

People say that Glenn's death ruined the show. I heavily disagree. Glenn's death was actually meant for the sake of the story and was accurate to the original source material. Anyone who stopped watching the show because of Glenn's death, isn't a true Walking Dead fan. Carl, the future of The Walking Dead, and part of Rick's reason of still fighting, was killed off for no proper reason. As you said, it was very out of character of Carl, and the comic did a decent job of having Rick give Negan mercy without the death of Carl.

[@abramsullivan7764]

Yes Carl survived towards the very end of the comics even married Sophia, and have a kid.
