Walking Dead Season 9 Episode 15 GROUP REACTION

[@dirtsa2828]

Deadliest roles in twd: horse, doctor, carol's kid's....

[@tiffanidonaldson2714]

😂😅💀

[@totesmegoatscrystal9688]

It wasn't a money issue. It's a huge event in the comics

[@hippielady123]

Carol lost Sofia, the two girls she adopted, the boy she made cookies for, and now her stepson Henry! Poor Carol has been through so much, and shes the person you dont want to piss off!

[@greedythegoon8607]

I see people say that she didn't care for Sam. But there's a scene that I love so much where she is giving out cookies to the Alexandrians. She saves one, and puts it on a grave marked by a tombstone that says "Sam Anderson". I think she not only cared for him and was scared to lose another kid she cared for, but I feel like she also felt guilty for his death.

[@ongitsdave]

Tara was offed because she was the leader of Hilltop. Remember that currently Hilltop is the main enemy of the whisperers so thats why most of the people killed were from there. Enid was also the Hillltops doctor

[@ekajkroy5456]

In the comics Ezekiel was killed and his head was on a pike. All of these deaths were basically meant to happen, many characters didn't exist in the comic, and there was a huge death toll in the coinciding issue of the comic.

[@theamunra4424]

Majority of comic deaths in that scene were pretty minor characters as well though. Ezekiel was the biggest death and Rosita was kind-of-bigger death too (although she had very background role as a character in comics). Olivia was also among longer-living characters that died there. But the rest were pretty minor. And it's kind of like that on TV too as Enid, Tara and Henry are "bigger" deaths in this scene.

[@nolanzeigler3781]

Rosita too

[@RockFan89]

and Ezekiel was dating Michonne in the comics.

[@Depth217]

24:35 the massacre happened in the comics but to a lot of different people. The most notable comic casualties were Rosita and Ezekiel, and the episode teases it when Gabriel is looking to speak to “her” and when Alpha asks Ezekiel to take her to the clothing booth.

[@domiiinik4320]

The Whisperers don't know they pissed off Carol, that's a nuh-uh in this world btw in the comics it was Ezekiel and Rosita with her unborn child dead Oh and another thing - hilltop really had tough season for their leaders, because Tara, Jesus and Gregory died and Maggie left

[@dillydraws]

It was the same as Glenn death. The pikes were a huge comic moment with a lot big names dying.

[@Ruleof2Review]

I cry every time I hear Sydiq tell the story. So powerful. Alpha is PURE EVIL. But it makes her a fantastic villain. A great follow-up to Negan.

[@makekotor3722]

RIP to the 2 highway men, DJ who was a former savior and Frankie who was one of Negan's wives. And RIP to all the others. But Henry's death was the worst. Carol lost another child, and he was the only one Lydia had a solid connection with and was the reason she got to start a new life. His death took me by surprise.

[@dravenquinn264]

I love that final scene with Lydia and Daryl visiting the pikes The wind the music and the snow falling and that somber music.

[@dravenquinn264]

Back when Andrew Lincoln (Rick) left the show I remember thinking that there will never be another speech quite like his because he’s a goddamn master at delivering those Avi Nash (Siddiq) proved me wrong Honestly his speech makes me more ready eyed than the pike scene itself Watching all of those people fighting for each other instead of running away for their own lives it just rips my heart out And kudos to Ozzy Alek (The lead Highwaymen) and DJ (Ex Savior guy) They sacrificed their own lives for people they met like a day or two ago What Legends.

[@matthewfisher5763]

Seeing Siddiq talk about how they were fighting for their lives. And just knowing they probably had to watch each other die until it was their turn🥺🥺😢. Did anyone notice that Michonne was crying for Tara😔. Right before the flashback started, Tara was looking at Siddiq

[@DrWatson4]

Similar to Negans introduction when he came in and kills Glen and Abraham to set the tone of hey I’m the real big bad. Alpha takes it to another level here and says I’m the definition of evil and I’m gonna just behead several big characters. (Although thank god the King is safe)

[@whoalookout8578]

I know I'm late, and I noticed a lot of people either don't realize this or don't say anything, but the whisper that comes out of the woods when Michonne, Daryl and gang are fighting walkers, is wearing the face of the guy that was with his wife in the beginning of the episode on their anniversary. The same wife that Alpha scalped.

[@greedythegoon8607]

It was definitely not a money issue. In the comics, 12 people got the pike. Alpha spared us 2 characters in the show. Such a brutal villain.

[@dravenquinn264]

A - Addy (teenager) R - Rodney (teenager) T - Tammy Rose O - Ozzy (the highwaymen) F - Frankie (Negan’s ginger ex wife) D - D.J. (Ex Savior guy) E - Enid A - Alek (2nd highwaymen) T - Tara H - Henry

[@Raynskdi]

Michonne and King Ezekiel were two of the heads on the spikes in the comics.

[@Depth217]

17:32 that old cartoon was all the show could get the rights to show in the episode, but they did have a legit movie they were going to show. Hopefully they found some staple film reels like The Lion King, Star Wars, Godfather, Wizard of Oz? 😂

[@dravenquinn264]

Ozzy Alek And DJ charging without hesitation into a barn full of terrifying lunatics wearing walker skins on their faces to save a bunch of complete and utter random strangers is perhaps the most heroic thing anyone on the show has ever done 4 years later and it still saddens me that they died but we will never forget their final act that they died as heroes.

[@The1Music2MyEars]

The way they kidnapped everyone was the same way Alpha infiltrated. She removed her mask and acted normal and because it was a trade, there were many people not entirely known. Alpha probably had goons do the same thing and act like regular civilians.

[@felixjr9890]

In the comics the big deaths are Rosita and Ezekiel.

[@BrianLightyear]

That was a huge goosebumps that at least Enid, Tera and Henry been spiked. Which everyone would had believe is Ezekiel since in the comics did happen in that arc.

[@Pilgrimetro]

Carol set the entire leftover savior group on fire for stealing a ring, can’t imagine what she feels after that

[@illphil6627]

“Just kill em.” That was bro statement soon as he saw the highway men.

[@hippielady123]

Tara was the hardest for me! It started when Eugene and Rosita crossed over Alphas boarder, and escalated with Henry and Lydia. Remember Michonne would not have approved for Eugene to ho that far out and she was rite

[@prosimian]

This also happened in the comics. Ezekiel and Rosita were among the victims. Guess they changed it to make it less predictable

[@cbradfordgorby3237]

Just wait till Alpha finds out that Carol found a Fatman and a stash of 10 Mini Nukes.

[@christal1978marie]

22:36 Chance & Jason, The guy you thought was "music man" (Luke) was actually part of the highway men group. Their names were D.J, Ozzy & Alek. The Whispers left Siddiq alive to show the boundaries that cannot be crossed.

[@RedLemonCola]

DJ wasn’t a highwaymen. He was a savior lieutenant.

[@JS310]

Not a money issue. This was just their way of making an enemy even more brutal than Negan lol. Plus it was huge in the comics so they needed to live up. Like you say how Tara was so out the blue, it was just part of the shock factor

[@GreenBayPack]

This was a key point in progressing the storyline in the comics.

[@stevenrogers8601]

Yeah Father Gabriel is very underrated, really good character. Shit man there’s so MANY good characters in this show 😂❤

[@dravenquinn264]

For me the best part of this episode is the fact that when Daryl Carol Michonne and Yumiko head out they are the ones seemingly in danger In the pitch black of the woods the monstrous Beta and other Whisperers appear It seems as if they are the ones about to die But it’s actually the ones back home who seems happy and gleeful at the beginning of the reconciliation of the communities that are in the most danger as Alpha walks amongst them To me that aspect of the episode was just perfectly put together The writers created a masterpiece with this one And the whole pike scene is just gut wrenching to watch specifically when Carol sees Henry.

the pike deaths happened in the comics too however they had much bigger deaths in the comics. like 2 specific huge characters that are still alive in the show

[@GaiaLegend]

Yup, it was the downfall of this show over time like an actual start of declining viewers, because people watching the show got pissed that there wasn't a major death here at all and that it was another one of their baits. I remember all the complaining (legit though) and the critics that came after. It was a good but also a bad time for the franchise as it already had a spin off that went very badly (Fear was seen as a very bad show at this time) so people started to think that the franchise was being milked now.

[@KhepriProductions2022]

​@@GaiaLegendSo viewers get mad whrn they do feature a major death and are still mad when they don't.

[@kayden2119]

@@GaiaLegend Tara is a huge character death she has been here longer than who they killed in the comics. People complain when they kill someone like glenn and then they complain when they dont. They cant win at all.

[@GaiaLegend]

@@KhepriProductions2022 Sort of like that, but people usually say this when they don't really understand the complicated issues of the show (not that you're dumb, I ain't smart myself) the issue was that during the decline of Fear as that show had a very, very bad story around mid season, and then not having characters dying in the original show ment that the franchise slowly went on a poisonous path. Tara wasn't a big character death, it just wasn't and people know this. She was more of those side characters that sometimes popped up here and there like what they did with Maggie for a while, most screentime went to Rick and Michonne, until they seperated it became Daryl and Michonne. Carol and Ezekiel had their own time too for a while, with Maggie and Aaron flying in between and Negan of course. Everyone else was only important for particular scenes during the Whisperer saga, but I can't say much about that yet because spoilers. And during this time, the show went downhill because I remember very well how dissapointed some people used to be during this saga, they said the same I said before, including some youtubers. The number 1# complain wasn't even the deaths, but more about the walkers/zombies not being a real threat anymore. Even the kids in the show get rid of them very easily like it's nothing which was blamed on them being trained and stuff...8 year olds, if you go back a few seasons, 1 walker was a big problem for everyone including adults in the show.

[@rewelmustah6312]

The first two were the highway man, the next two were Negan's people, the next three were Hilltop's people, and the last three were the main group Siddiq's speech about them trying to fight back was beautiful and sad, knowing they were all come from different place

[@dravenquinn264]

This and 9x05 are my favourite of this Season Tara and Enid almost hit as hard as Glenn and Abraham except this time there were 8 more people It’s implied that more of the Whisperers somehow infiltrated the fair to lure/kidnap them all that’s why when Alpha met Daryl Carol Michonne Yumiko she wiped blood off her blade and said she ran into some trouble on the road. Also in the original source material (Comic Spoiler) there were actually 12 pike victims and the two major ones were Rosita and Ezekiel Fans like myself were so nervous when Ezekiel started escorting Alpha around the Kingdom and thought Gabriel could have been talking about Rosita and not Tara when he asked Eugene if she knew where he was I loved your reactions.

Alpha was already more of a villian when she told that one whisperer to put down her crying baby to be ate by walkers. That right there made her the worst villian of all of them, and then she kills all the people no other reason than to prove a point? Hell even the Governor wouldn't have done that.. and he was pretty evil.

@@Getstr8cash Which is nonsense because that was what the show was all about...horror, survival and darkness. It eventually became a drama theatre at some point because you know...

I am also right about this because that's exactly where it is heading torwards to now in all the other shows and movies, but I can't say it because maybe the guys read these comments.

I go back and forth on Tara being one of the pike deaths. This was a peak season for her character and I know she has more potential and time as leader but I also know how impactful of her loss is compared to Enid and Henry, the other big 2. Compared to and considering who died in the comic version, I feel like Tara kind of made sense for the purpose of eliminating a long lasting major character.

[@Jstormrider]

It happens in the comics but kill Ezekiel and Rosita in the comic

[@onetallpheeesh]

The TV Show characters killed off were all TV Original Characters. Tammy Rose was the only Comic chatacter that was similar between the mediums. The Comic Pikes actually killed off 12.5 people, not 10 like the show. Tara, enid, Henry, the kids, negans wife, and the highwaymen were all TV Show Exclusive Characters with no comic counterpart. Enid and Henry were Sophia and Carl replacements and Tara was from the Governor's Novel series. From a comic perspective, they were the most expendable to the story. Keep in mind, the Comic Characters driving this storyarc are literally all gone in the TV Show already. Theres no Rick, Andrea, Carl, Maggie, Sophia, Jesus, Heath, or Hershel jr in the Show rn. They are the main focus of the comics. Daryl and Jerry dont exist, Carol and Judith are long dead, Ezekiel and Rosita should have died, But skipped their deaths. The inky similarities between mediums rn are Michonne, Aaron, Eugene, Gabriel, Siddiq, magna's crew, Alpha, Lydia and Beta are the only similarities So they couldn't dare kill off Ezekiel and Rosita like in the comics because they need all the manpower they can get. It was kinda like the opposite of money issues they paid their other leads to stay on passed their comic characters deaths.

[@shemeka433]

What's so sad is that Tera didn't want Liddya to come there because her mom said she will retaliate on the hilltop. When Alpha retaliated, she offed everyone she thought was from the hilltop including tera. She offed henry to punish her daughter and production made that happen so we can see the alpha and Carol showdown... I hate how they introduced the highway men then killed them off so quick

[@hack_it8839]

But in the comics, Rosita was more of a cardboard cutout in the background for her entire run, same goes to Gabriel. they really altered the arc from comic to screen. It truly started wholesale with the death of Dale in the show but really took off when Andrea died at Woodberry. They managed to still hit the high-notes as best they could but I still view the TV show more like a "What if..." for the universe.
