What Walking Dead Characters Were WASTED POTENTIAL ??? - Walking Dead Rankings

[@operationthrash9645]

The thing that boggles my mind is that they went from killing CARL GRIMES, to not having the balls to kill hardly anyone at all

[@jeremyscungio16]

Ezekiel comes to mind when reading this. They had like 5 chances to kill him and they didn't

[@CheeseGrater-ki5lu]

Yeah man there were so many theories going into the final season on who would die people were thinking Gabriel,Aaron,Ezekiel,Rosita e.t.c. But it ended up only being Rosita and Luke,also this might be highly controversial but I believe Michonne should have died in TWOL.

@@CheeseGrater-ki5lu Bro let Rick have some happiness the man's been through enough 😭

[@mr.cartinos8294]

@@chasingstars4I don’t know if you could handle the comics. He loses two wives, his infant daughter, and doesn’t even live to meet Carl’s children.

[@chasingstars4]

@@mr.cartinos8294 Oh don't worry, I've read them. It gave me a new appreciation of the show actually as it's far less brutal as you know lmao. I'm not opposed to some tragedy and i know that not every character gets a happy ending, but selfishly i want Rick to have one lmao. Honestly I wouldn't have minded if the show killed Judith as long as Carl survived though

[@foghornleghorns3244]

I’m in the camp that agrees Merle should have lived longer. But only long enough until the Governor attacks the prison, then give Merle his sacrificial last stand then.

[@MagnusRobert]

@@foghornleghorns3244 I think that’s fair

[@operationthrash9645]

@@foghornleghorns3244 what did you have in mind? Maybe stepping in to save Rick during his 1v1 with the Governor instead of Michonne?

[@foghornleghorns3244]

@@operationthrash9645 maybe shot multiple times while defending the bus as it drives off. Then Daryl can return to the prison later (to search for Merle and Rick) and finds Merle as a walker, and has to tearfully put him down like in the show.

I'm glad you put Noah on the wasted potential list cause I for one would've love to see him and Reg Monroe working together in architecture and maybe see them making Alexandria's walls more durable from outside attacks plus his death still made me salty about it cause his death could've been prevented if Aiden listen to Glenn before shooting the undead soldier or if he and Glenn had ammo on them instead having Nicholas carrying most of it

"Kill all the background characters, aside from Barbara" GOT ME ROLLING. 💀💀

[@mackenzienelson4265]

Love the attention to detail in these videos ❤

[@MagnusRobert]

I try thanks haha

[@justdan9264]

Your videos are severely underrated dude. I love listening to your opinions on these kind of stuff. You know, why don't you make a video on YOUR take on the Walking Dead? Like some people did with Game of Thrones. Because your alternatives for some characters and scenarios fit really well, and I really would love to see those said alternatives getting expanded. One of my personal favourites is how you handled Tara, saying she should've died instead of Noah, and honestly, I could see it, and it would be much better than what what we got (I'm saying this as a Tara fan too)

[@MagnusRobert]

Yeah maybe one day i’ll do a how id rewrite the show

[@noahxleron]

I personally thought Andrea Harrison was such a wasted potential! Laurie Holden, the actor who played her, was originally supposed to survive Season 3, save Woodbury on horse, and become the new leader & end up with Rick. However, the night before the final episode, she was informed that her character would be killed off by the horrible show runner Glen Mazzara. In my opinion, her redemption arc would've been amazing! 🤷‍♂ I think them replacing her with Michonne was a good move, but it would've been amazing to see her live.

[@the.salamancas]

I don’t know, at that point in the show, Andrea’s character already felt beyond redemption.

[@noahxleron]

@@the.salamancas I disagree, I don’t think her character was as bad as people made it out to seem. If she reunited with the prison and they her gave this storyline she would be redeemed in my eyes.

[@kohnermahan]

Honestly, I’d lose Carol in exchange for Carl

[@Razor018]

Hard decision since I like both of them but nice

[@holly__carp]

I will never get over them killing Coral 😞

[@Judithgrimes-cp1rl]

Judith is better she is the best character

[@jamesbandz1]

I say for the most part this is fairly accurate. I would say they should've done more with Ezekiel. I don't necessarily believe that he's wasted potential. I think he hit his peak and he was starting to peter off and I think they should've rounded him off better. I think they should've done more with Morales too. They just popped him in and was like, "Hey remember me?" and that was the extent of his character.

[@Cobrawolfwyvern]

rick should have died at bridge, and i feel like instead of rosita being the in death in the final, it should have been a bit more loved/bigger character like carol, or maggie (i say that with carol being my 2nd favourite and with maggie being my 4th favourite) or even have killed negan, since i feel like most stuff with his character is kinda done now.

[@shanks3535]

Idk manga in the comics was a pretty good character I like her relationship with Yumiko way more and she becomes a military leader under Dwight and is the first one to really dislike the commonwealth

[@MagnusRobert]

Yeah I like Magna in the comics don't get me wrong BUT there's no room for her in the show, too many characters they've invented or given bigger roles.... Out of them all, tv show Magna sucks the worst.

[@shanks3535]

@@MagnusRobert agreed she is pointless in the show there are too many redundant characters that are all trying to be one comic character it just doesn’t work

[@jimmyross1325]

I feel like Eastman would have a good impact in the show if he stayed longer but good video

[@ledgaming6489]

Love listening to these late at night. Keep em coming dude! For me carl was wasted but honestly I just couldn’t get into the performance. In would have loved to see Mercer more like his comic version and just keeping Abraham would have been awesome

[@SomeDutchColonial]

I know this list doesn’t have Ftwd characters but Travis Manawa,and Troy Otto just needed to get more to them.Travis dying was important but should have been cooler,and Troy shoulda just been kept alive

[@MrVicePresident]

How was Negan wasted potential? He's literally one of the best characters in the show..

[@MagnusRobert]

not imo I think they butchered his redemption arc

[@Judithgrimes-cp1rl]

Judith best character

[@RealTalkOrWalk]

Damn, you got right on the ball after I suggested this! That was fast as hell lol that’s awesome man! I’ll definitely be sticking around your channel

[@HenzoW-cf3mh]

Not a bad ranking tbh but opinion rejected on Andrea and I’m not hearing anything else. Honestly this is an even hotter take but I think Carol should have taken Sasha’s death. It would of been perfect. R*pey Dave being an Ed lookalike and approaching Carol but she fights back this time. Taking one for the team and dying a hero just before the war started would be a great, emotional death that would have charged everyone up for season 8. Rosita could have taken a pike, I liked her but not that much and she wasn’t that big of a character imo but the actress did her thing. Michonne should have sacrificed herself during s10 since the actress didn’t want to stay. Her leaving felt really dumb and I stopped liking her character afterwards.

[@HenzoW-cf3mh]

On to the minor characters. Alden should’ve left with Maggie in s9 then came back at the end of s10 just to die in s11. Honestly couldn’t care less about him from the minute I saw him right until the end but at least if he left with Maggie it would feel more emotional since they’ve held it down for years. Oscar should’ve gotten Bob’s death. Something feels fitting about him telling Rick that he’ll never beg for his life then straight up laugh at the Termites when they are eating him. Feels full circle imo. I liked Bob but I’d rather they kept Oscar and Bob never gets introduced. I wish Tyreese and Sasha never got introduced and we stuck with Andrea and T dog. Very hot take but don’t care. I agree that Elijah could’ve been interesting. I would write it that he was a former Reaper but only left to join his sister so that’s why he wears a mask. He kills a Reaper or 2 like a badass but gets injured in the process. This makes him sort of live up to expectations but also not be in the fight really so the main characters can have their moments. The Andersons died at the right time but what I would change is when Ron and Carl fight, Carl locks him in the room and he is devoured by walkers. Character development.

[@HenzoW-cf3mh]

I forgot a few. Glenn stays the same but all I would do is subtly give him his last moments with the other characters like Rick, Carl, Daryl and whoever else. One thing I didn’t like was how he lost that bond with Rick. I get it that Daryl became d rider number 2 but just a few more scenes with them two for fan service would be nice. Might be just me but I feel like Glenn contributed more to the group in the earlier seasons than the later seasons. His whole character turned into “Maggie where are you”. I like their relationship but he shouldn’t be restricted to only having screen time with her. Got him out the way so the others will be quick. Lydia should’ve died walking the horde off the cliff. Makes sense since she would be taking down the horde that her mother brought to the group in the first place (Alpha was dead but point still stands). Jesus could’ve died protecting the communities and fighting Beta in s10. Better place than any for him to die. Honestly I would either rewrite it so that Lance kills Pamela and frames it on the new group then Sebastian kills Aaron in the middle of the night. That would’ve been a cool adaptation. Lance be the big villain would’ve been better. In terms of Oceanside, I would just have them killed by the CRM just to build up that looming threat.
