[@panspermiapancakes]

Yeah, there is around 8 novels that cover the story of Woodbury and the governors rise and fall, and the town continues to thrive after him, and the story continues without him. I was actually impressed that The Vile Eye had read the novels, because it gives way more information into who Brian/Phillip is, and most people who analyze his character haven't read the novels. I read them all back in like 2019 and had forgotten how disturbing some of it was but they are great books. lol

[@evildoctortaco]

Something about the TV Governor you didn’t mention that I feel is important After he panicked and murdered Martinez, we see Philip crying to himself alone that night and immediately trying to sneak out of camp with his new family. He almost certainly does this to ESCAPE that temptation and keep himself from becoming the Governor again, but the road is totally blocked and forces him to go back. Furthermore, he TRIES to just stay on the sidelines, but Pete (the new leader) almost immediately suggests to Philip that he should help him lead since he has experience and charisma. That just proves Pete to be weak willed and that’s the final straw that forces him to kill him and take over to “protect his family” since he thinks Pete is weak and the camp is in danger (which of course is true in both cases). His outright attempt to run away from himself after having that slip up so he can save his new family and new life from who he once was is SUPER interesting to me and a missed opportunity to talk about here.

[@Xeakerr]

Yes I just wrote a comment about that too. That was a very Important scene for the character, weird that he forgot to mention that. It was really sad, like fate did not want him to go. And the way he looks in the car is saying the same. Martinez Camp was full of weak people, no one fit to be the leader, so in the end it falls to him again to be in charge.

[@kristijan12]

Ok, but tell me this, why is Pete weak willed to be seeking council from someone who has a lot of experience? It is often said that wise leaders surround themselves with smart people whose council they can hear and decide what to do.

[@quaidemckenzie6146]

​@@kristijan12 I'd say Pete isn't weak for that. More that Brian doesn't believe that leadership is to be shared. A flaw of Brians not Petes.

[@frankunbaphomet3206]

I remember the group he finds martinez back in had asked the governor TWICE for help leading the people. He definitely didnt want to be one after what happened but his ego is crazy large and just asking him to be helping as leader reminded him of how weak others are in his mind. He was perfectly fine being on the side up until martinez and the other guy asked him. Govenor clearly thinks there should be one leader. And if people ask him for help on that, hed rather take charge alone

[@josephmatthews7698]

Its Brian's flaws not Pete that ends Pete's life. He's completely warped in his head what a leader should be and proves that by being such a terrible leader. A good leader is unafraid to seek counsel. It was Brian's warped ideals and ego that doomed not only himself but the innocents in Woodbury. Never trick yourself into thinking Brian was a capable leader. Sure he was charismatic and bold but these are not the only qualities of a good leader. It didn't take much to topple both of Brian's laughable house of cards he had created. All it took was one person asking questions to ruin everything. The Governor was an ironic title because he truly was one of the worst leaders in all of twd but the writers did an excellent job making him sympathetic. But don't confuse sympathy for competence.

Giving the T.V. version a possible redemption arc, even doomed as it is to failure because of his inner demons, was a smart move on the part of the writers. Dangle it in front of us, have us wondering if he'll have the fortitude to change for the better, then rip it all away so we understand why it was never going to happen. Some people just have done too much, like MacBeth, to turn away from the paths they've chosen. The Governor is one.

[@angelabryant9766]

Something about Brian actively wanting to die at the hands of his brother after his niece dies is so powerful. Morbid, sad, and...weirdly kind of sweet. My favorite kind of horror. That even at the very end, as he goes numb from the beating and can barely think anymore, he just surrenders and lets himself die, clearly feeling he deserves it, and wants his brother to let out his pain.

I love that you covered the books so thoroughly, I feel like most people don't even know about them. I would recommend them to any fans of the comic. They're surprisingly well-written, and Lilly and Martinez in particular are two of my favorite characters in the whole franchise.

[@opti6019]

Seriously, they’re so good, especially read by Fred Berman on audiobook. After the death of the Governor, where Robert Kirkman is no longer involved, the series really drops off in quality, but even the first couple that follow Lilly Caul afterward are still decent.

[@bekaz13]

@@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat They basically show the comics storyline from Lilly and Brian's POVs.

[@opti6019]

@@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat If you’re talking about the books that continue with Lilly after the Governor dies, not really. Most of them take place in southern Georgia and northern Florida, opposite to where Rick and the gang went, so they never encounter really much of anything from the Comics, which was a shame. It kind of reminds of the Telltale’s The Walking Dead game, but with all of the bad and none of the redeeming qualities. The novels are predictable, lacking in depth, and kind of comical in their peril and violence, a lot of which the characters don’t really take the time to react to save for brief sessions of panic and mourning. For example, at one point there is a child who literally kills their own parent because said parent goes off the deep end and is about to kill Lilly, and the kid, likes, cries for a bit then it’s literally never mentioned again. I still found some enjoyment in all but the last two novels, though. Old Bob the medic stays as a character and is great, and there’s one really interesting overarching villain for a few of the books. And Fred Berman still does a great job.

[@arthurgomes8214]

To this day I believe that the show’s version of The Governor was at least subliminally influenced by Latso Huggin Bear from Toy Story 3. Aside from the genre and rating they are damn near the same character and it is hilarious to me.

@@jmsgridiron5628 Yeah, I would say Rick and most folk in the twd universe are neutral; neither good nor bad. The only characters I would say a pure evil are the governor and alpha. Rick and the survivors are seen as heroes because we follow their story from the beginning. Negan had only one episode showing a kind of origin story and it shows how different it would have been if we followed Negan’s story till he met Rick. Example: Imagine if we followed the hospital in season 5 from the beginning and see them bump into a feral looking man with a group(Rick and the survivors), we could easily see them as villains or antiheroes at best. Hope I did not yap too much.

[@MasterOrona]

Shane was all there until Rick came back. Then he went nuts. I always felt like they would have been safer with Shane than Rick. Like even to the point where Shane would have had to save Rick and family when the SHTF if Rick never went into a coma.

In the end human strengths come from cooperation. Civilization was founded though mutual beliefs against the things that lurk out in the dark. That's what a lot of media forgets

[@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat]

Reminds me of silent hill The message, and how inherently incorrect the characters beliefs are in that matter

[@Xeakerr]

You missed the scene where TV Governor wants to escape in Martinez camp at night but walkers block his path. That was pretty importent showing he did not want to become the Governor again, rather go away from everything. I think he killed Martinez because he thought Martinez was not a fit leader and could not protect them. I don't think he WANTED the leadership, he felt forced to it to secure the safety of his new family. In the end, he realizes what he is about to become and tries to escape. But walkers blocking the way, it is like fate does not want it.

[@becnvhmarker3964]

I thought the exact same. I think since he put so much work into the Comic version of the character, he sort of missed some key character revealing scenes and lines in the show. Can’t really blame him tbh, have a 2 hour episode is pretty crazy, can’t fit EVERYTHING in there.

[@PricefieldPunk]

Also it was incorrect that The Governor convinced the Chambers to leave with him. He didn't want them to join him cause he knew eventually he'd become The Governor again if he had to protect people again in that world. Lily said they were coming with him no matter what he said.

Video Game Villain Suggestions: Analyzing Evil: Sephiroth (Final Fantasy 7) Analyzing Evil: Vergil (Devil May Cry) Analyzing Evil: Tohru Adachi (Persona 4) Analyzing Evil: Characters and Themes of Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne

[@nicholasbodo4327]

Nocturne would be amazing though for Lucifer he should get his own Analyzing Evil video I think.

[@wesleygriffiths8748]

@@nicholasbodo4327honestly, it’s debatable if Lucifer is even evil in that game, given that the Angels are arguably far, far worse. Chiaki and the Manikins, what YHVH did to Hijiri, pretty much dwarfs anything Lucifer actually does in the game.

[@nicholasbodo4327]

@@wesleygriffiths8748 Lucifer does corrupt the protagonist into becoming the Demi-Fiend & it’s left ambiguous what his new world order will be after Demi-Fiend ends existence itself & there’s implication that SMT V might be a secret sequel to Nocturne.

[@stairwaytoheaven8]

Vergil is NOT even close to being evil he's just stubborn

[@Soda2033]

Smt is literally the personification of the chaotic, neutral and evil traits, they are always there in those games

TV Governor is GOATED

[@Lauriestrode1978]

The governor is a much better character and villain than Negan. Negan can atleast be reasoned with and he can change, as he did. Negans also more rational and level headed which can make him scarier but he still had a good side to him, but the governor was pure evil. After watching your video tho the governor is a truly damaged and broken man and feel bad for him, after your analysis, it becomes clear that the governor was forced into this through so much trauma and I can’t really call him outright evil. Great video analysis man!

[@nathansmith8310]

Thank you vile I've been asking for years man amd this video did an awesome job comparing the show and comic I prefer the show version but I still really think his a good villian in the comics

[@diligentsun1154]

At 50 seconds into the video, it shall be stated that the Governor was Far and Away the most interesting character in the television series 'the walking dead'! Neegan was good enough, up to a point. Thanks for discussing him.

[@ZzFlippin]

I think an Analyzing Evil on Homelander would be nice, especially with more of homelander’s childhood being revealed in the show. Love the content as always!

[@UnfitWarlord23]

When the show is over, he says he will.

[@Lutherstrode17492]

He needs to do a separate video on Vought

[@Lutherstrode17492]

Homelander’s a great villain ngl. He has the face of a movie star, the power of a god, the influence of a politician, and the mental state of an abused child

[@MistahJay7]

Phillip didnt want the power again though. He killed Martinez cause he was doubting himself on wether can keep everyone safe especially cause he was talking about his new family that he found. "I dont want it damn it I DONT WANT IT I DONT WANT I I DONT WANT IT" He also did try to escape with the family knowing what was going to happen to him but couldnt and was stucklol

[@jjenk911]

Unfortunately, trauma, abuse, and whatnot made them monsters. Good men made evil.

[@enterchannelname973]

I have been waiting for this video for SO long 🔥🔥🔥 Do Shane, Negan, or the Whisperers next!

[@DamningTooth1]

Hope to see these covered some day: - Joe Cooper (Killer Joe) - Nino Brown (New Jack City) - Jake "The Muss" Heke (Once Were Warriors) - Dr. X (from the Operation: Mindcrime albums by Queensrÿche)

[@the_neo_crusader]

Maybe you could do The Swede from hell on wheels someday. He's a great villain

[@ritanman9578]

Some ideas i have for new Analyzing evil videos: Homelander from The Boys Eric Cartman from South Park Death from Puss in Boots Fairy Godmother from Shrek 2 Azulin from Unicorn Wars Dio Brando or Yoshikage Kira from JoJo bizzare adventures

[@romance6933]

Andrew Lincoln looks more like Comic Govenor than the show's actor Lol

[@torridd]

Great stuff! I still think the Governor was the best TWD villain.

[@jamesn151]

I read the books and loved his character on the show. In the books, he starts off quite weak and pathetic.

[@tahjshaunbrooks6722]

Crazy. I just restared watching Walling Dead and just left this arc

[@stuartday1330]

The illustration of the Governor in the thumbnail looks more like Danny Trejo with an eye patch.

[@Keanux12]

Great video analysis like always man, I would love a video about Shane Walsh.

[@Keanux12]

"Welcome to Woodbury"

[@djbaghdaddy]

Please do Franklin Saint. There's so much to talk about with his character and arc

[@laynedoyle1613]

Think you pretty much hit the nail on the head the only thing I would say is even after Martinez’s death I feel the Phillip was very much still trying to stray from the governor I say this because even when he was trying to take the prison he at least made and attempt to take it without killing and I 100% believe he would of let Hershel and Michonne live if Rick would of surrendered and although this character was already beyond redemption I believe Phillip died the minute he put down Megan and delivers his kill them all speech. Sorry if this is to nerdy I’m normally not fanatic for this sort of thing but this character has always stood out for me and the performance David brings is in my opinion well above the rest of the cast.

[@pope2552]

greatest villain ever to grace TWD

John Milton: the devil's advocate Trevor, Michael and Franklin: GTA 5 Megatron: Transformers T-1000: T2 Xerses: 300

Joe Goldberg would be sick

[@SuperNeos2]

If I could make suggestions: - Jin Kuwana from Lost Judgment - Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7 - William Afton from Five Nights at Freddy’s - Niko Bellic from Grand Theft Auto 4 (Yes, while a complex character, he’s still a bad person.)
