Andrea was one of my favourites in the comic. They took everything andrea was, sharpshooter, rick's gf, overall badass. In the show, she's a lacky to the governor, and her redemption arc falls far short from returning to her comic source.

[@TheBob1901]

I think Andrea's time was cut short on the show because Andrea shot Daryl after mistaking him for a walker. Fans hated Andrea for that, and I think the producers and writers decided from that point on to write Andrea into a hole so that when she was killed, most fans wouldn't care that one of the most iconic characters in the comics died so prematurely on the show. Actress Laurie Holden thought that Andrea's role on the show was wasted.

I lost most interest in the show when they killed off Carl. To me, watching him grow and adapt was the most interesting part of the show. He had the greatest character arch, and I honestly didn't care for him until Season 3 episode 1. That episode alone made me change my mind from "Carl get in the house" to "Carl, you got point, lead the team." Carl was total bad-ass, and at times had better strategic thinking than his father Rick. Once Rick was removed, there was little left to keep me interested. That said, the only saving grace was the young actress portraying Judith. She truly is "little ass-kicker."

Jesus was the most badass character in the comic. He was unmatched by anyone in terms of close combat skills. He also could find a way to survive what seemed a desperate situation many times. He was that good! He showcased something very similar in the show the first time we had seen him when he easily handled both Rick and Daryl. I think he was meant live in the show but the actor wanted to leave so they killed him off.

[@tarac3822]

The actor wanted to leave because he was upset that the writers weren't doing anything with his character. Tom Payne even learned martial arts, because his character was very skilled in it. Tom asked that he be able to use his skills on the show but never got to, until his last episode. He even (in an interview after leaving the show) sarcastically joked how he trained, for 2 years, to deliver an awesome kick, turn, kick to take on 2 walkers in the graveyard. Tom never wanted to leave, he loved playing the character. He only made the decision to ask to be killed off because he was side lined, knowing that his character had a bigger part in the comics. Had they made Jesus what he was in the comics, Tom would've been on the show til the end.

One interesting aspect of the show is unlike some of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies where some characters or even stories arc are completely re-invented, the writers of the adaptation of “The Walking Dead” comics try as much to reproduce in a identical way even with some modifications scenes and story arcs from the Robert Kirkman’s comics. Unfortunately, as the new character or even new version of characters from the comics such as Judith and Gabriel are beginning to take too much places in the story especially after Carl’s death, Andrea’s death and Rick’s disappearance from the show , we are beginning to think if the writers are still wanting to fully adapt the original material till the end if they want to completely reinventing it .

Just a few thoughts (warning, finale spoilers): - How in the hell is Darryl not #1!?!? For a character that was never in the comics, he was arguably the most pivotal character in the entire show. Up until the very end when he gets on his bike and leaves for a new life, you can see how the show shifted from Rick as a take-charge kind of guy, to Darryl as the reluctant hero. - I would put Carl at #2. Even though nobody wanted to see him leave, I have to admire Chandler Riggs for deciding that he had enough and leaving the show when it was (again arguably) at the height of its popularity. - I preferred Michonne and Rick together instead of Andrea. Andrew and Danai had amazing chemistry and Andrea (no offence to anybody's acting, just the character) is beyond annoying. Rick needed a strong female lead and Michonne more than stepped up to fill that role. - I'm not sure if I want to get involved in the new shows, but I sure am going to miss TWD. Thank you for over a decade of entertainment and killing walkers.

Pretty much, she just helps fight the Whispers and openly hated the commonwealth. She became friends with Andrea and saw right through Negans BS when he was still locked in a cell. That’s all I really remember her doing in the comic

[@ryantaylor8398]

@@PricefieldPunk Shame, it seemed like such a big deal when she was casted and introduced in the show. Made her seem like she would be crucial to the plot. Instead, they do nothing with her and all her scenes were just a waste of screen time. Hell, I couldn't even remember her name (I just called her badass knife chick) until the final epsiode.

[@PricefieldPunk]

@@ryantaylor8398 same, when she was introduced in the comic she seemed like she was gonna be a big character and then it's like Kirkman changed his mind and put her and her group more in the side.

[@ryantaylor8398]

@@PricefieldPunk I will say, at least her group actually contributed to the plot or at least a side story. Connie was a fan favorite and had some great moments. Kelly, while not doing much, at least had a subplot with her finding Connie (guess she got over going deaf). Yumiko was important for Commonwealth story. Luke....well he was comic relief and then disappeared until the last episode just to die probably due to the actor being in those Harry Potter movies (do we even know what happened to Oceanside?). All in all, badass knife chick could have probably just not been included and it would have saved screen time for other underdeveloped characters.

[@aprilpearson6923]

@Black Sheep no, when did I say "yes, negan kill them all"?, I said negan shared the blame. call me bias but I hate that the show did the pick, kill a different character and had glen killed anyway (who was the actual pick in the comic) because an only show character punched negan when warned, what did he think would happen? he's a deus ex machina or stupid and take stuff away from comic characters. also, negan is bad no doubt but was more rational and provoked them less in the comic and at end end helped them then isolated himself, he wanted maggie to kill him. not that forced redemption that the show tried to pull maggie and negan my ass.

If Rick and Michonne stayed in TWD last two seasons (specifically mostly Season 9 to 11), then Daryl would've taken Dwight's comic book death, but thankfully Leah had taken Dwight's comic death (well, sort of).

[@thetimkazakh.624]

Didn't Dwight die due to wanting to takeover the Commonwealth (to be more accurate - Governor Milton post), while Rick just wanted to have a peaceful union with them instead of bloody war? Plus Michonne liked her life in the Commonwealth more because of her daughter, which later caused her to call Milton on their "secret" meeting.

One of the reasons for the CDC is also because the screen writers didn’t know that they would get a season 2 so this could act as a series finale if it had too

[@thetimkazakh.624]

Well, it was a smart move. In source material there barely happens something interesting until they find prison, so if they were going to be loyal to the original comic storyline, they needed to be really good to make the great story from the first 5 issues. At worst, season 1 would have been pretty boring, and the show will most likely be cancelled (not all series get lucky to be continued after season 1 that was only set up for a bigger story like Breaking Bad).

The show did a lot of good: better arc pacing + new locations, Carol being a badass, not killing Ezekiel, Daryl simply existing. But it also made some critical mistakes. The biggest being Rick and Carl not being around for the end. Carl was the future, we watched him grow up from an annoying kid to a strong and smart young man who should(and did in the comics at least) beat that world.
