The Walking Dead 5x5 REACTION

[@negan9526]

This was not THAAT explained, but the wife and kids of Abraham were raped by people of his group while he was getting supplies. After that he absolutely destroy the guys, and for the shock, not only for killing the guys, but because everything that happened, the wife escapes with the kids. Thats when he found their bodies, and felt guilty. In the comics Abraham is the "Daryl" for Rick. Before that the Right Hand was Tyreese, but he is killed in the position of Hershell with Michonnes katanna.

what happens to hershel in the comics

[@dravenquinn264]

Seeing Abraham just walking away and falling to his knees like that breaks me every time This mission literally saved his life and without it he’s just a guy who scared his wife and kids so badly that they ran off and got themselves torn to pieces by Walkers and it’s heartbreaking Michael Cudlitz does a great job.

[@Iletyoulive]

I love Abraham,he’s one of those characters I absolutely enjoy watching

[@KamandaHickey]

I mean Eugene is a damn good liar, I give him that😅. It breaks my heart to see Abraham so lost at the end though.

[@dravenquinn264]

This is a great episode because I loved seeing the backstory on Abraham and how he and Eugene got linked up Eugene gave Abraham a reason to live and the mission was keeping him going But Eugene also taught us another very important survival skill lying and giving people something to believe in Eugene is very smart he knew he was not physically capable of defending himself but he does has his mind a little bit like Tyrion Lannister.

Bruh, back in the day when this episode aired, i remember i had the coolest zombie survival dream in a weponized Bus with Glen and crew. There was even an underwater bus scene.

[@dravenquinn264]

Abraham saw his family eaten by walkers then was gonna kill himself but yes Eugene gave him hope to live and have a mission.

[@jessicajones2604]

Me, looks at their page like when are they going to post another TWD video and then sees, 58s ago, video uploaded. Lol, yes!

[@ZordZ-jl5nq]

Yeah they already know we've been waiting for this one

[@stephwest1382]

This episode is just funny and to hear Maggie and Eugene kept taking breaks cause Eugene hair color kept running. I was so shocked that he has blonde hair. The fire from the bus was so hot

[@dravenquinn264]

Abraham is a nice guy I think what ticked him off was Eugene saying he was smarter than most of them like he was proud of it Abraham and Rosita has given their life’s and risking their lives for this ultimate coward basically. In Abraham’s head it sounded like I’m smarter than you because I was able to trick you into believing this.

[@dravenquinn264]

I love this episode because It really makes you care about the new group especially Abraham After Abe’s family was killed Eugene came and saved his life and gave him a purpose.

[@dravenquinn264]

Comic Comparisons : Eugene’s story goes the exact same In the comics he says he lies because he knows he’s too weak to survive on his own His only advantage was lying and his knowledge as a high school science teacher he admits that he’s not strong like Abraham he’s not a leader like Rick he’s not good looking like Rosita He used what he knew what to do best If I was in his shoes I would’ve done the same.

[@fishfriend143]

Glad there’s another reaction keep them coming

[@dravenquinn264]

This is not a spoiler but this does reference the comics :D This is why the episode can be hard to understand The editors failed to realize how many people have not read the comics and the full story really wasn’t explained well in the flashback scenes. The comics have the Abraham story that his former neighbours/friends brutalized his wife and children while he was away if you look closely in the show his wife Ellen has bruises on her face so it is implied subtly and when Abraham returned and found out what happened he killed the men who did this. His wife and children in the TV show were terrified he murdered those men that’s why they ran away The only way we can reason Abraham killing the men was completely justified is if we know the comic backstory. The problem is that the flashback failed to give the entire picture of why Abraham did what he did and the fact it was near the beginning of the collapse So if you go back in your mind society had just collapsed in the back story so this was not normal behaviour to exact revenge like that. For us as viewers it makes it even harder to understand the reaction of the wife and because the scenes for the backstory were incomplete Just realize that by this time in the story of Rick and our crew we are getting used seeing the brutality of lawlessness and revenge/justice killings (The Claimers and The Terminites deaths) So the connection aren’t easily made to understand Abraham’s back story without knowing the comic story. In the episode if you look carefully you’ll see the bodies of his wife and children on the ground you see a corpse with a red head band this is Abraham’s wife Ellen Then it shows his red headed son face down and piece of luggage on the ground and his daughter to the right also face down This flash is only three seconds long so it is easy to miss and it is right after Eugene is hit and collapses after Abraham beat him When Abraham finds his wife and children dead this is why Abraham was going to kill himself not only because he felt alone/ isolated but also because he felt he had terrified his wife and children and caused them to run away from him and be killed by walkers. Hope that helps to bring some clarity :)

[@KamandaHickey]

I think it was intentional. Some scenes or stories are not made for a TV audience. It’s not the first obscene/obscure story that is not shown. What they show is enough as a backstory if you haven’t read the comics. The comics & the TV show are obviously 2 distinct things.

[@Tezmarite]

Eugene technically saved Abraham’s life considering the fact if he never popped up Abraham would’ve killed himself

[@JPuReTaLeNt]

Yeah but at the time Abraham didn’t have a reason to live. His family was gone. It’s like Dale greedily taking away Andrea’s choice and Eugene did it just to save his own life that’s why Abraham was pissed

[@mrsfahrenheit]

honestly I in a way you can't really blame Eugene .. especially in the early days of the apocalypse when it's all about survival most people only want people around them that can contribute in physical aspects to the group 1 fighting the dead and living 2 hunting 3 providing food etc so most people likely would've turned Eugene away or even kill him. Groups like Rick's group are rare in this wold

[@svendeep6781]

Another great reaction! Crazy episode

Patreon just got 6x16 & 7x1 this past weekend!

Nobody: AJ: He has to die 😂

[@AKarrit]

Not much happens this episode, but also a lot happens

[@stephwest1382]

Yeah my 3 favorite banters. Question??? Out of Maggie, Glenn, Abraham and Eugene who dies in your opinion? No spoilers

[@mark.trujillo]

been waiting for this

[@ellenpereira1148]

I know this might be a horrible thing to say, but... I think that if Abraham killed Eugene there would be no way to blame him, this guy let 8 people from his group be killed for a purpose that wasn't even real. Abraham's purpose in life just collapsed there... shit

[@moward4964]

Hello 👋 Another awesome video, 👍👍 Michael Cudlitz (Abraham), said on an episode of Talking Dead, tells the back story from the graphic novels: his neighbors had raped his family and he killed them in response, including using a can to bash someone's skull in, to then wake up to his family gone, 👍 Abraham was going to commit suicide after seeing his family tore up, Eugene saw him rip off his dog tags and put the gun in his mouth, so he came up with the lie to give Abraham a mission and at the same time he would have protection, 😏 Have a safe and wonderful week, 👋😀👋

[@KamandaHickey]
