The Day The Walking Dead Died

[@denicecarlagordon3040]

The show just feels like it's constantly building towards something that never happens.

I’ll comment to this but first you need to watch an episode of into the badlands

[@geraldford9266]

Sounds like my life

[@gummypuss69]

But that's part of the theme of the show, and of apocalypse situations in general. One of the recurring themes in the storyline is of struggling to maintain hope for a better future when any attempts at such keep getting knocked down. Despite the zombie apocalypse being completely fictional that theme is very relatable to a lot of people's lives, especially those suffering from chronic depression.

Rick Grimes was about to died at some point in the show. For TV. show's Critics like me "The Walking Dead" die the day they kill Rick Grimes only bloodline Son Carl Grimes the second most important character in "TWD" series if You really know what happens in the comics past present and future stories then You know that killing Carl off for ratings Value because the show is being plagued by low ratings for long now and they needed a big death character in the show to impact the fans, and because they refuse to pay the actor Chandler Riggs+Carl Grimes to save money for actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan to keep his (Negan) character in the show for two years more, was basically killing the show future hope because Carl Grimes suppose to be the last survivor in this injected apocalyptic world as Rick's only child because Rick is not little Judith's biological father was Shane and Carl Grimes best storylines to Henry or Judith Who is no a part of the Grimes family because like i say before Rick is not little Judith's biological father was Shane, is an insult to the show is an insult to the fans and is an insult to Chandler Riggs+Carl Grimes as an actor who gives his entire childhood to AMC and TWD show :-) Denise C.

​@@denisegordon9225 Nobody with a functional brain believes they killed Carl off for ratings increase. The result was, with no surprise, the opposite. Chandler Riggs and AMC had a disagreement. As far as I know Chandler had moved in closer to set and postponed University but AMC had some sort of disagreement with him which is most likely why he was written off. I'm pretty sure he even expressed his discontentment on twitter. He didn't want out.

[@BurnsReviews]

Carl was the definitely the first domino to fall. It essentially destroyed Rick as an engaging character. Their dynamic together was the heart of the show. Everything went down hill from there.. Rick became boring and Andrew Lincoln has hinted that he no longer enjoyed playing the character as much. We lost characters like Maggie and Jesus because they knew the show had peaked. And with Rick gone all together (future movies aside) it’s hard to care about the show at all. Who are we even following now that Michonne is leaving? Carol and Daryl? They’re cool. But that’s like killing off all the Star Wars character except Han Solo and Chewie, and then giving them their own horrible movie. It’s just bad business

The problem is there is no endgame, in Breaking Bad, The Soprano's, True Detective, Fargo, even Game of Thrones now, there is an end goal, we do not know what it is but we know these events cannot go on forever, but in The Walking Dead it just keeps chugging on with nothing changing. In TWD comic, each story arc feels like it could be the end of the overall story, when it isn't, we are quickly introduced to a brand new interesting situation so it feels fresh.

[@MasonMcLeodFilms]

There is something about the walking dead show that i can't put my finger on...like the general camera quality is shit, the shots all look kinda cheap and blurry, the sets look lifeless and dull, not to mention every single episode is shot in some forest.

[@jadduck]

The end game was *supposed* to be to find a sanctuary where they are safe from walkers, but that completely became irrelevant when walkers no longer posed a threat. That's the problem, they literally destroyed the entire show by focussing too much on other people and the rivalry and tension between groups of survivors as opposed to the actual zombies. They can't even go back because the way viewers view the show and TWD story has completely shifted. There were so many nail-biting scenes in seasons 1-3 where we genuinely got uncomfortable watching characters battle walkers, whereas now we just shrug it off because every outcome is the same. The main characters never succumb to zombies, and even when they do they, for some reason, decide to do it off-scene as to almost purposely reinforce that negative association we have. AMC TWD literally just suffers from poor decisions and even poorer show-writing. People like Gimple should never be allowed anywhere near such a large-scale production such as TWD.

[@numa2k147]

@@jadduck well in the comics it's the same, zombied die out they can't be a threat for the while show. BUT the creator of the comics said that everyone WILL DIE. Not negociations. But he stills focuses on the story. I don't feel anything like that on the show.

[@eldermillennial8330]

Numa Deuxmille WILL DIE could just mean that one or two will live long enough to see the new world begin before giving in to exhaustion, but regardless, I’m not the least surprised that the current people in charge don’t want to touch the original Whisperers arc with a ten foot pole. Killing Carl to save money was just their excuse; I’d bet my teeth that they REALLY don’t want to touch that story because it makes radical Feminism look bad. Their leader is a woman who talks like a Feminist Professor, spouting the usual crap about how men are “all rapists” just barely restrained by civilization, and so while she is in charge, she thinks she can only control them by letting them screw whoever they want, including her daughter, and THEN Carl proves to her that Chivalry, even in this world, CAN be real, and the realization that her whole world view was a lie is apparently destroying her, to the point that she’s about to lead her people to their deaths, or so I am guessing from where I left off.

I heard many different reports that Gimple and Andy were working on a way to have Rick leave the show, but I am almost certain that the final nail in the coffin for Andy deciding wholeheartedly to leave is due to Carl’s unpopular death. I recall an interview excerpt with Lincoln basically saying he was searching for a reason for his character to keep going and what it means to Rick. Knowing how Andy really gets into his role, basically method acting, it’s no wonder he felt no connection anymore and would have rather been with his real family!! Sorry for rant...

+Dreamy-And what's really sad about The Walking Dead's demise is that at the beginning, it was a much different zombie show. Where the story and characters actually mattered. Where the characters are multifaceted and lovable. Where there are intense, heartbreaking, and often devastating things. And Darabont's signature style made this show so beautiful and heartbreaking. This was a show tailormade for him. He was perfect for this kind of show. To me, the show died when they kicked Darabont to the curb. I knew right after that happened there was never going to be any consistency with the show anymore.

I knew he was going to because of what people told me about the comics. Even though he was one of my more favored characters from the show, if that is the arch I understand. It was just the rest of the show was like watching reruns when they were new episodes.

[@justabitofjunkie2595]

Fuck Glenn, tiresome character always on the same bit that was far too similar to other characters. Plus it stayed true to the comics by killing Glenn. The only disappointing bit about killing Glenn was that Negan's jokes about it were not politically correct enough for the show so were omitted. Abraham was a far better character which they squandered and also gave dead end story arcs and plots to. I guess since they already killed Denise on the show as replacement to Abraham's death in the comics, something had to be done. The actor probably cost significantly more than other cast members as well.

Purple Pumpkin I agree, I honestly thought they sidestepped that issue when they revealed the Abraham was getting the bat. But I'd would've been fine with Glen's death had it not been right then and there. If he'd have been left alive, allowed to see the birth of his child, been within spitting distance of the peaceful life he was yearning for with the war coming to an end, but then he ,not Carl, died saving someone else, it would have been a great send off. He could have had his last words with Rick and Maggie at the same time, with Rick interpreting it as "make peace" and Maggie hearing them as "avenge me". That would have made a clash between Maggie and Rick hit harder with them both trying to honor his last wish in their own way, Rick doing so to make a future that will be peaceful for Glen's kid as well as his own, and Maggie aiming to eliminate all threats that could upset that peace by any means necessary.

Skipping season 4 would have been nice. The artsy episodes with lots of dialogue and almost no action were not enjoyable. They were supposed to be character-driven, but the characters weren't driven to do much but flap their gums. The entire purpose of a video production is so the writers can show, rather than tell.

Both Glenn and Carl are the perfect mixture of common sense, ingenuity and conscience in our hearts. They are rarely on high horses. They understand problems and know how to solve problems.

[@DanteYewToob]

I think the show got knocked down when Glenn died, but had a chance, and it fully died.. took a bullet to the head when Carl did. Killing Carl proved that they were only interested in shock and awe, and that we wouldn't be getting the great story from the comics. At this point in the comic, Carl became a badass and had an amazing story ahead of him, and Chandler was finally 18 and old enough to film full time! But they killed him. To me, that was unforgivable and I haven't watched since. I was waiting for Carls story to pick up, and was excited when he turned 18! Especially after seeing his scenes with Negan and the saviors and seeing how his acting had greatly improved and looked forward to seeing him kick some ass.. Carl also represented a way to get the show back on track for me, that if they could just get Carl right, that maybe they could get other things right as well... I have to say that more than anything it made me lose all interest which is when a show truly dies in my opinion. Even boring show, an irritating show, or a show that drops in quality can still be watchable... Game of Thrones for instance, we all kept watching after the drop in quality. But TWD made me lose all interest in watching after Carls death, he was the last interesting character I gave a shit about.. Daryl has become a joke and is invincible, uhm.. Carol is boring now... uh... idk honestly I don't even remember who is still alive that I care about... father Gabriel maybe?... but nah.. and to me that is the worst offense a show can commit, is to make me ambivalent, or completely uninterested in what happens, to not even want to watch out of curiosity or loyalty. If I have to think _that_ hard about something I care about... a show is dead. R.I.P. TWD

Actor Norman Reedus say this after Carl's death and he was so direct in his comments against Amc and Scott Gimple he say this, when a show Writer destroy the relationship in the show between a father and a Son like in "Walking Dead" the show is over because the show Writer destroy. the show real arc center story, and for me the show original main key cast characters are the hardest ones of the show if the writer Kill this show main key characters them he lose the show and right now We don't have to many of this main key characters in TWD. and if the show Writer want to write for another show story then he can kill all them but if You want to still writing for the same show story ad the show Writer, be careful of what You doing with this main key characters in the show. Actor Norman Reedus (Daryl Dixon ) say in this comments in his Facebook page after Carl's death and he so Angry about it like Andrew Lincoln Too. heavy Walking Dead spoiler Movie idol was made a video about this actor Norman Reedus comments and he was totally agree with Reedus :-) Laurend M.

The actor of Carl Grimes, wanted to be written off of the show.

[@DanteYewToob]

@@bleach405 No he didn't, he just bought a house right next to where they film, and decided to not go to college for 2 years to do acting full time. He was learning a lot from Andrew Lincoln and said he was excited to work full time finally and get to spend more time with Andy and Norman and learn more about acting. Also, his dad came straight out and said that killing him broke his heart, that he was depressed after it happened and his dad was really mad at the show because they gave him almost no notice and just did it without consulting him, and again... he just bought a HOUSE right near the set, and then they killed him off... seriously a dick move, they could've just said ... "Hey, maybe dont buy a house!" So Chandler Riggs obviously has to be professional, and say he agreed... because that's how showbiz works... but his dad told everyone the truth and when you look at the obvious stuff, like buying a house, putting off going to college, and talking about how excited he is to work fulltime with Andy Lincoln on social media... that shows that he had no idea they were going to do that, and he wasn't on board.

[@HandlelessTML]

For me, TWD died when I realized the show was never going to answer any real questions like "how did this start?" and "how will things be fixed?" Once I realized the show was essentially a drama about humans living in a world with zombies and not humans trying to strive for something other than finding a place to live, I was pretty much over it. Them taking Eugene to Washington got me really excited because, finally, there was greater goal but once that fell apart and things went back to "find settlement, fight enemy", I lost hope. I didn't even realize Rick's last episode was his last episode until that season's finale and that's what really did it for me.

[@Glooks0]

It’s hard to explain, but there actually was a way of beating the apocalypse. It wasn’t through some magical cure. It was through outlasting and starving the zombies. No matter what, the world would eventually reach a point where the zombies would starve and grow far too weak and decayed. After that, society would slowly start to reform. Idk why you got so hooked to that ‘Eugene-to-Washington’ point in the story. Eventually after Negan and Beta/Alpha Rick and the others would find peace. Rick ultimately passing away and Carl telling stories of the adventures to his daughter- *atleast was what* would’ve been the plotline had Carl not been stupidly killed off.

To me, since Terminus and Gabriel's Church, I feel like the characters lost their initial "spirit" I don't know how to explain, but it seems like they are all different, since Alexandria the show has just stagnated, they all seem off, they don't have the same energy they had in other seasons. In Terminus, they were still POWERFULL but now, since Alexandria, it's like they lost it like they lost that drive they had, and now, with Negan the writers finally took everything away from them, made them completely weak.

[@futurestoryteller]

I think they might have been that way for longer than you think. The show is not interested in defining them as characters. It's much more abstract than that, they're just "the group," "Rick's people" or "survivors." I said it in a longer comment, they're basically interchangeable. They exhibit little to no sense of individuality. They've all become subtle variations on the same "personality." What little variation there is seems dictated by hierarchy and circumstance. If Maggie were in Rick's place there is no reason to believe Maggie's behavior would be overall different from Rick's, and so forth.

The biggest thing about it in the comics is that it was what invigorated the remaining members to rally together to take down Negan. The show starts moving towards that, then BAM, Negan does something that sets their plans back. And then they do that again, and again, and again. Whereas in the comics, it was pretty cut-and-dried. Motivation, build-up/suspense, conclusion, move the fuck on. I'm alright with them padding the show to not overtake the comics, but the way they do it is fucking awful.

You're wrong about Season 2. Season 2 was actually one of the show's best. It gave us a chance to focus on the SURVIVORS for a while w/out the thread of other humans. The zombies were still very dangerous at this time, & Rick's group looked & felt more like a family, even beyond Lori & Carl. I miss the vibe that the show had back then. I think Season 4 was really the beginning of the "end" for the original vibe of TWD. Also, Scott Gimple ran the show into the ground between seasons 7 -8. Negan held the show hostage for two seasons & was the most overhyped character this show has ever introduced. He never really paid for what the damage he caused, & I think it's ridiculous that viewers are now expected to somehow empathize with or root for this particular character. "Major character death" is just an attempt to grab ratings now, & the TWD franchise is bloated w/ a prequel that has lost it's way ever since the Clark family (save Alicia) was killed off, & "World Beyond", which has been boring af, even w/ the arrival of Jadis. Now that the comic itself has concluded, its definitely time for the main show to wrap it up.

My only problem is that a single season only has content worth 4-5 episodes. But they spread this across 16 episodes. So nothing happens besides the first, mid season and final episode of each season. The show drags on boring and uninteresting plot lines, only rarely doing anything mildly interesting that furthers the plot. And then it pads that episode by another 4-5 filler episodes, making viewers wait till the end of the season once more. This shitty tactic wore me out. After season 7, i just couldn't take another dose of 12 filler episodes before seeing another repetitive plot line unfold. The show should have ended quickly, before it ran out of ideas. Problem is this exact pattern exists with many american television shows. Quality before quantity doesn't seem to something the studios have heard about. Oh how the might hath fallen

I'm not even mentioning that his fooled everyone with the cure story.

[@deltathedummy2303]

its ironic how a zombie survival show is basically a zombie at this point

[@laurendmaryriggs4511]

PKfire/ Yeah! the show is basically "The walking dead" itself now is a boring repetitive Soap opera, nothing change only for the worse the writing still terrible and the directing is also terrible and the show lost its purpose when they Kill Carl Grimes for ratings value because the show is being plagued by low ratings for long:)

[@cajfaj]

I too read the top comment

[@dcwatcher4644]

The day the walking dead died was yesterday when it was announced Rick will be leaving

[@EntertainTheElk]

Yep!

[@mwur6190]

Even the actor of the protagonist is gone?! Well RIP .

[@Furkward]

So who will be the main character

[@blakeukbass]

Daryl

[@245-TRIOXIN]

Agreed. No Rick Grimes, no show. They should have ended with Rick killing Negan. Who cares about the walking dead series without its central character.

[@carterdahl9654]

Even after the show went downhill, Negan was always a highlight

[@shadymercury]

no, he hasn't always been a highlight. he never was. He was the most over hyped character on the show, & he held the show hostage for 2 seasons. he's never really had to pay for the damage he caused, & now viewers are expected to empathize with him? Not me. I don't root for monsters. The show lost it's way & it's soul w/ the deaths of Glenn & Carl, & the departures of Rick & Michonne.

[@soumen66]

@@shadymercury the show lost its glory bcoz of the writers dude, not bc of Negan🙄 They fired Carl's actor Chandler Riggs just bc he was about to turn 18 & they had to pay him more money. Soon after Rick left. Negan is the only most interesting & loved character left besides Daryl, Maggie, Carol & a few others. Believe it or not

[@MichaelJohnson-kx3ln]

Negan talks to the Glenn & Abraham bones.

[@Juliett-A]

Glenn is the moment I stopped watching, and it's also the moment everyone I know stopped watching.

[@denisegordon9225]

Glenn's death was so graphic and brutal but he was about die anyway hid death was in the comics but no Carl's death, they kill Carl Grimes the second most important character in TWD for show ratings value because the show is being plagued by low ratings for long and they needed a big death character in the show someone near Rick Grimes to impact the fans but Carl's death was basically Killing the show future because Carl was the world future hope as Rick Grimes only bloodline Son because Rick is not little Judith's biological father was Shane. after Carl's death AMC report the show worst lowest ratings ever in the story of this AMC Horor/Drama TV. series and the show lose more than 17, millions of fans here in United states only and lose more than 20, millions of fans around the world were this show was fans favorite tv. show. Glenn' was not the future in this apocalyptic world was Carl Grimes. Denise C. Gordon a TV. Show's Critic for Entertainment Weekly. ✍️

[@xoRexsGamingIL]

you dont stop watching a tv show with MAIN CHARACTERS just because ONE of them died..

[@salazarslite7180]

Glenn's death was the most predictable moment in the show since everybody was always talking about this moment from the comics for years. I've heard and read it dozens of times even though I've never read the comics. Also, every season had some kinda teases with his death. For example at Terminus, when he almost got killed with... guess what... a baseball bat. The show prepared you people years before it actually happened, but still everybody lost their minds. I am watching the series since 2012 and 7x01 was the best episode of the whole series to me. It was brutal and shocking, something that TWD has always wanted to be, but has rarely ever been. But I have to admit that the series got worse and worse after that, especially the second half of season 7 + whole season 8 was forgettable trash.

[@zzz7zzz9]

wow. glenn's death was a main part of the story/comics. it was literally just another scene in the storyline, always meant to happen. anyone who didn't know he was dying was pretty clueless. and the show is a zombie apocalypse, pretty silly to get too invested in any one character, especially to the point that you will stop watching if they die. odds are extremely high that pretty much every character created is going to die. it's a zombie apocalypse, not the godfather. it's purely mindless entertainment that you shut your brain off to while watching.

[@denicecarlagordon3040]

Killing off Carl Grimes the second most important character in TWD story was basically killing the show future.

[@demcra3485]

They shoulda just deleted The Junkyard and Oceanside

[@smartzapeple1106]

Stephen Murphy Negan’s character is actually a good character, the problem is is with the writers, they’re writing the story in a way that doesn’t make sense and Scott pimple is being a complete pimple by making us want the arc to end already. Too much filler! Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a great Negan and a biker jacket in the summer is gay? People wear leather jackets at any point of the year. If you have a problem with people wearing clothing that’s weird complain about the people who wear torn up jeans in the winter time, that’s worse than a man wearing a biker jacket in the summer.

[@smartzapeple1106]

Stephen Murphy But I’m not being Politically Correct, if I was I’ll make fun of the character and say he’s bad because he’s white. Plus, he’s not supposed to be menacing. These are normal people trying to maintain society. I actually do agree with you on “too many unnecessary plotlines that go nowhere”

[@dctrmercury5245]

Frankly, Negan is one of my favourite characters, and favourite villains next to The Governor, and it sucks that the show began to decline when he came in. He brings life to the episodes he's in. I always felt on edge whenever he was on screen. Jeffery Dean Morgan is an incredibly talented actor, but the writers did the character a little dirty later on in the series which is what lost me.

[@MangaGamified]

Like Murphy's Law: What will happen, will happen. So eventually one out of like 40* billion people in earth's history will eventually like Negan from TWD's nearly 8* years of running.

[@jacobgaysawyer337]

@@MangaGamified yep, I was also shocked xD

[@jacobgaysawyer337]

a human with any amount of logic in their head and an ability to connect with stories and understand things, wouldnt like negan. but you do so..
