I totally hate The Walking Dead right now.

This is the part that pissed me off the most:

That bunch of guys with the grenade launchers, taking blind shots over a 20' wall, somehow managed to hit cars and houses...but none just landed in the street or the yards.

Also, those grenades are powerful, but not THAT powerful.

The reason why zombies were faster in Season 1, was because of Frank Darabont's interpretation of how walkers should act. That's why some of them could climb fences, open doorknobs, and use bricks to break windows. Since he left the show, none of that happens anymore.

The comics had a bit more imagination there as far as keeping the zombies a fresh part of the storyline.

I feel like the using a horde to trap Neegan and having a zombie bite Carl are desperate and yet underwhelming attempts to keep the zombies relevant. I think they'd be better off with some crazy climbing or rafting escape scene or something, ****ing Neegan had a bunch of grenade launchers, just one of those probably could have redirected most of the horde.

That's not the "spoiler" thing the OP was referring to.

Ummmm... i don’t care and the spoiler tool doesn’t work on my phone. Honestly if you’re stupid enough to click on a walking dead thread when you’re avoiding spoilers then that’s not my problem.

So...that part stopped making sense after we found out that everyone is already infected. Why would a bite from an infected kill you if you already carry the virus?

Yeah that never really made much sense. It'd have to be a completely different infection causing the death since they all have the zombie infection.

They could have been saving that revelation though, like, *whoa* this character you thought would die somehow survived the infection from the bite because of his immune system! Maybe they were going to do that with the cult leader in FTWD that Nick met in the Mexican town where he found his love interest, but chickened out.

I bet they'd face some backlash without a credible explanation.

I stopped watching after season 3. There was no progression. Characters either kill each other or get eaten by zombies. Repeat ad naseum.

It only took me about 1/2 of season one to figure that out. :2razz:

Yeah, the Walking Dead sucks right now. I remember when I used to get so exited for The Walking Dead; now it just feels like I'm going through the motions. I'm actually way more invested in FTWD now than I am TWD (FTWD's season 3 was phenomenal). And this episode was terrible all-around. Especially with what they pulled at the end.

Scott Gimple needs to go. He had his time, but he has brought the show down, ever since that stupid cliffhanger in 6x16.

The Negan story arc, like the show itself, is just dragging on and on. Very different from the Governor story arc which, once things got rolling, they got rolling.

And a lot of people treated what happened at the start of Season 7 as an unforgivable sin.

That sounds like Y: The Last Man, but there we know the one man somehow survives right at the start.

What killed the show for me was what they pulled in the Season 6 finale. I haven't felt the same way about the show since.

Humans are the only sustainable part of the show. If they were smart (smart-er, because the show is still going pretty strong), they would have had the zombies die off biologically. When normal body function became unsustainable...the bio-organism dies. It would have been fine. Fresh deaths would have always meant fresh zombies...but the living head thing is just stupid.

The focus of the show after the initial survival SHOULD be on what a rebuilding would look like after a total apocalypse scenario. The pack/gang mentality is realistic enough. The mound people...WTF is that even about....its just stupid. The kingdom...silly. And I would like to see a version of what this looks like in the north/midwest. Prepper heaven.

The Kingdom I can somewhat excuse because they all know it's an act, but the trash people, there is no defending that. Worst addition to the show yet.

There was actually some story in the first two seasons, but it rapidly devolved into the worst kind of soap opera.

I thought terminus was pretty damn stupid. Admittedly, the trash queen who speaks in few words probably beats them.

In the first few seasons, it seems like other humans are scarce, but now they're finding all these huge groups with hundreds of people, all relatively close together?

The Termites I thought were fine, except I didn't really understand how they went to "Never Trust Outsiders" to "Let's Eat People".

Yeah, that is weird. I don't see how the Saviors didn't find out about Alexandria before Rick N' Crew arrived.

Maybe Negan figured that their compound was safer than all those houses?

A few seasons ago, Darryl ran into some preppers, but...that didn't work out, either.
 
I read the comic. It is pretty different from the show. Some characters are switched up. Like Carol. She dies pretty early on in the comic. Daryl seems to be a tv creation.
 
Love the comic.

Love the show...

All awesome......

Which one is he again?
 
Sad. Love TWD. Even like Fear. This is a website of mine I recently created, figured with all the brick and mortar malls closing I'd create an online apocalypse mall. It's so popular I've had ZERO affiliate commissions! Be sure to click the "virtual mall" tab, has a walking Dead theme. https://zombimall.com/

I generally like it when they focus on characters rather than plot.

Where did Neegan get the unlimited grenade launcher ammo that he can just waste it blowing up all the houses? What happened to the Neegan who didn't want to lose any resources?

Why the hell did Carl get bit for some random idiot?

They made handling the zombies too trivial, so they aren't really frightening anymore. Not sure if this was trying to undo some of that, but i feel like, in the first season, some of the zombies were faster.
Click to expand...

Which is kind of what happened in the comics, honestly. As they progressed on the zombies became less "existential threat" and more "still very dangerous but something we comprehend and know how to deal with now".

There is a possible explaination for the "reasoning" behind what they did(don't read article if you want to avoid spoilers)
