Herschel still dies Michonne still saves Rick from the governor, however the governor puts up more a fight against Michonne compared to the original with a sword through his chest. Suddenly a gunshot is seen going through his head killing him. Michonne turns to the direction of the gunshot scene cuts to Andrea with a rifle finally killing the governor and saving both her leader and person who saved her.

[@TheBob1901]

Andrea was one of my favorite characters, and I was bitter that the writers wrote her so badly in Season 3 and then killed her off. But I suspect when Andrea mistook Daryl for a walker and shot and wounded him in Season 2 was the moment that doomed her character. Andrea could have shot anyone else and been forgiven by the fans, but not Daryl. Fan outrage was extreme against Andrea and by extension against Laurie Holden. On the other hand, Daryl bonded with Carol while searching for her missing daughter Sophia. So you might say that Daryl's popularity overflowed on to Carol. Thus it was because of Daryl that the writers flip-flopped the characters of Carol and Andrea in comparison to their comic book counterparts.

Andrea is definitely the character done wrong the most. However: I do still think killing off Carl was the bigger sin. It robbed the main show of the epilogue it so desperately needed, and yes we get a bunch of fun little spin-offs here and there now wich quite frankly look better then i expected thus far but all that comes at the cost of a satisfying finale to one of the greatest shows ever, wich was already struggling with keeping it’s narrative intact and it’s characters interesting. I’ve been thus far been able to forgive everything. Every death, character alter or plot twist in both the show and the comics, no matter how much i personally disliked it, I could always respect the choice from a narrative perspective or understood the reasoning behind it. After all: it’s not the purpose of art and entertainment to cater to my liking, it’s to get me emotionally involved and engaged. Carl’s death was the exception to that. The show will always have a special place in my heart but i simply can’t forgive them for that.

[@williamflowers9435]

Killing Carl undermined the first few seasons with everything revolving around Rick protecting his family and Carl growing up. With Carl surviving, everything from Otis being sacrificed and everything else Shane did, Hershel saving Carl, Judith being born and Lorry dying in childbirth with Carl there, all the lessons he learned… it all had meaning when you looked back years later. They also lost the Carl/Negan dynamic. Enid and Carl should have been together during the Whisperer War w/ Carl being the one to set Began free to take revenge on Alpha for Enid’s death. Also lost the Carl/Judith relationship that they gave Daryl. And of course, Carl and Rick being reunited. They even could have written Riggs off the show if he needed a break (or they didn’t think it was worth paying him… I’m guessing they lost many times more money by killing him off), saying he went to search for Rick instead of killing him. I still enjoyed the show until the end but in my head “this would be better if Carl was here” was ever present.

[@Alatorre05]

she would have been great if they wouldn't have written in her death at the last minute, the original plan was for her to save Woodbury on horseback and be the one to take them in at the prison.

Season 3, from my knowledge, wiped out 3 major characters. T-Dog, Lori and then Andrea. I understand that the producers wanted to portray the "nobody is safe" image and keep viewers on their toes, but I think obliterating these characters within the season ruined the show, especially Andrea's. I genuinely think one of them should have maybe perished during the fall of the prison - possibly T-Dog, then Andrea surviving until a few seasons later or maybe up until the finale. Andrea in many was was incredibly intelligent. She by no means was a fighting machine, but she knew how to climb the hierarchy in Woodbury and essentially manipulate her way to the top - a COMPLETELY different method of not just surviving, but thriving, compared to physical altercations and battles.

Frank Darabont was gonna do the Rick/Andrea love story but he was fired. Laurie Holden had a contract for 6 years. She was going to be Rick’s love interest. But the writer sleazy Glen Mazzara hit on her and she rejected him so he wrote her really bad then he talked Robert Kirkman into killling her character off for shock value and replacing her with Michonne. Which was the dumbest decision ever since Rick and Michonne are like brother and sister in the comics. They did Holden really dirty too they didn’t tell her until the day before shooting that they were gonna kill her off and she was under contract so she couldn’t look for a new job until the show aired months later. She said she had just bought a house in Atlanta because she thought she was gonna be living there working there. It’s sick what they did to Holden. And killing Andrea was too much of a departure from the comics it ruined the whole show. I couldn’t watch after her death. To this day killing Andrea off was one of the biggest mistakes in tv history.

Her eyes emanate kindness and sadness, and unlike most of the group Andrea just didn’t seem to have the kind of grit it would take to make it in that world. She didn’t seem like someone who could survive without the group like Shane or Darryl. After she lost all hope and Dale saved her, I ended up rooting for her to survive. She came so close to escaping the governor but it was all for nothing. Seemed like the writers just wanted her out.

She was my favorite, she had so much potential

[@strangedog6827]

Andrea is my favorite character of the walking dead even in the TV show

[@boardasf699]

This was the exact moment shane became heisenberg

[@Karl1202-D]

Andrea was a great character and the way she died was so stupid and I was so annoyed. :/

[@ritadepeeves]

Andrea actually wanted Peace, even if she didn't always go about it in the right way. What's funny is a lot of the characters in later seasons wanted the same, made similar choices, but they survived. They could be considered annoying. I think Andrea had a lot of potential. Potential that other characters were given who were also not fan favourites.

[@gabrielgomes4228]

Andrea's arc on the first two seasons is one of my favorites of the good era of the show (which for me is the first five seasons). From kinda leaderish to suicidal to confident survivor. It's beautiful seeing her go from mad at Dale, because she wanted to die and he took it from her, to wanting to live and being one of the best fighters in the group. Then they f*cked her character in the third season. That's my least favorite part of the good era.

I dont blame laurie holden for the admittedly poor acting it was the terrible show runner for what they made her say and do

[@michael7264]

First time I watched the series I didn't like her cuz she kept sleeping with the villains lol. As I rewatch, I have much more sympathy for Shane and agree, Andrea always had leadership qualities - going against the grain, being decisive, admitting fault etc.

[@heatheryyy]

She was done so dirty, I really liked Andrea for most of her run but season three was so out of character for her. Even season two could have been pulled back if the writing had been better. It's such a shame, Holden is a great actor too.

[@KikiSarmale]

I am adicted to this serial i learn so much from it.

[@rumers100]

Her comic transformation was so cool. From a normal woman into a badass shooter.

[@chucksellers8422]

I loved Andrea. The actress who played her is a great actress and the prettiest actress on the show.

[@brightwolfz]

Comic spoilers below. They are worth a read and have a large number of differences to the show, so if you want to read them and care about spoilers don't read past here. Otherwise, feel free to read about comic stuff and spoil yourself. The video doesn't really talk about the comics, which I think is something huge to talk about in things like this. Remember when the actress was supposed to get 8 seasons? Probably because Andrea survives through all of All Out War (Negan) and dies during the war with the whispers in the comics. Dale also lives far longer dying RIGHT before Alexandria. He gets Bob's death in the show. He gets the whole Tainted Meat thing and all that and Andrea is the one to put him down as he actually ended up adopting her as his daughter. Rick and Andrea end up getting together (like Michonne and Rick in the show) and she ends up adopting Carl and all that, who lives beyond All Out War also. Andrea is a sharpshooter, and almost cowboy-esk in her abilities. Basically Co-Leading with Rick. Being a mother to Carl. While the TV death was cool, Andrea sacrifices herself in the comics to protect others from the massive hoard Beta sends at Alexandria. Other minor things to note is that Judith dies in the prison after fleeing during the governor's final attack, Carol dies at the prison to suicide as she really never outgrew what her TV Show S1 character was, Maggie and Glenn adopt Sophie who doesn't die and is a close friend to Carl for many years. Another minor detail is that Shane doesn't actually make it to the farm. About as quick as you meet him he is then dead. Rick returns to camp, stuff happens, before even leaving the camp Shane dies to Carl (similar to the TV show). The CDC stuff also doesn't happen and they just kind of survive on the road until stumbling along Hershel's farm after the winter ends. With Shane and Dale's stories changing drastically, Andrea's kind of got taken for a spin and then they kind of fumbled with her until they were like "lmao, it would be pretty shocking if she died right?" "But she still has like 5 more seasons of stuff to do, we can't kill her! What about her and Rick and all that? We could never just create a new relationship dynamic for him with someone in the group right? Unless... 👀"

[@LoverIsaDayy]

Andrea was annoying but even I was disappointed when she died because we knew how capable she was of surviving. So out of character.

[@hammywoods]

I nearly screamed when i saw the title. Andrea's character is so forgotten about and walked over, and for good reason, she fucking sucked in the show. Her comic counterpart is literally one of the best characters in twd universe, shame they couldn't bring justice to the show, and it esp sucks the actress had a 10 year contract they severed for no good reason. Maybe she could've been redeemed given the time, we shall never know 😔

[@batmancarioca4720]

ANDREA WAS A SUCH A BADASS THE ONE OF THE GIRLS WHO KILLED WALKERS UNTIL S3. FORCE OF NTR

[@FezMooseLive]

Imagine a AU show where Rick not only faces the Gov, but The Gov, Andrea, and Shane. That would be Crazy-

[@diallo1347]

In the comics she was great, in the show she started put good but was then ruined.

[@kai5664]

4:43 IN THE WOOOODSSSS

[@KikiSarmale]

I wished she would be longer in the serial.Her compasion and care abouth others realy apeald to me.

[@Daron7181]

They basically took the best parts of theAndrea Harrison character from the graphic novels, added them to Carol Peltier of the show. Comic Carol was a mess.
