The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC ( Comic and Un-aired Spoilers unwelcome!)

[The Ween]

I agree about Maggie. It'll be fantastic!

 

[a-dev]

I don't think Maggie would be off-limits to be killed but

Spoiler

I just can't see it being her that meets Lucille - at all let alone in the protracted way that it happens to a certain other character in the comic. The scene, assuming it happens, will be disturbing enough as it is without it being a pregnant woman meeting that fate

 

[pixletwin]

That would be a HUGE deviation from the comics if true. Nope. I don't buy that.

Yup. Especially the way they have Maggie portrayed as this leader in development... then to know what happens in the comic.... no way she dies.

I haven't read the comics, just the wikis etc, but I get the impression

Spoiler

Negan does have a human side. Like Rick he does what needs to be done to survive in that world, but has just moved way past the point of Rick. I think Lucille vs a woman, especially a pregnant woman is just a bit too shocking. But then, I was a little shocked with the episode with the cannibals where they were giving the bash and throat slit treatment too..

Spoiler

I don't think Negan has a human side at all when we first meet him in the comics or throughout the war. With the current arc... I would say he has become less beast/savage like.... but the guy is a complete freak.

 

[devilof76]

Who was the alexandrian in the comics that

Spoiler

Negan kidnapped, killed, and brought back as a zombie

?

I think Carol will fill that role nicely.

I got a bad feeling about this.

 

[greygoose]

To be honest nothing would shock me now. Yes things are still hard to watch but during the last episode we witnessed our group murder living people during their sleep, I found that quite unsettling to watch. And this is a show that isn't allowed to use the F word because it might upset people...

 

[Platty]

Nawh, Maggie got given this responsibility all of A sudden by rick to set up the deal, why is that? She's done nothing for the last few episodes. She's gonna feel guilty as hell when Glenn bites it.

I can see it coming.

Too many signs for me point to glen.

 

[devilof76]

Maggie had been meeting with Deanna and learning how to be diplomatic, or something.

They were people armed with guns extorting a community armed with spears, upon threat of brutal death.

It's not really murder if you got it comin'.

No offense, but I'm really tired of hearing this complaint. It's becoming the new "Is no one thinking of the children?!!?"

The majority of people who like gore and watch this show don't like gratuitous swearing at 7 pm. Deal with it and move on.

Indeed.

I'm not crying out for bad language every other word. The show warrants the need for gore and gun violence to keep the world real and grounded just like it warrants the need for a bad word every now and then to keep the characters grounded and believable. Maybe it's because UK TV is less censored. But that's my opinion so to quote yourself 'deal with it and move on'.

 

[pixletwin]

It's just a discussion thread. I hope I didn't ruffle any feathers.

Moving on.

 

[DiFabio]

I don't like any of the "heroes" anymore, not even Rick. They all feel like they've overstayed their welcome with no where else to go in terms of characterization.

With that said, I'm looking forward to Negan putting the group in their place. If I had it my way, he'd smash all their heads in. The latest episode was really well done, I enjoyed it. I hope this looming presence and build up pays off. If Jeffrey Dean Morgan is charasmatic and zany enough, he should be fun to watch and compelling enough for the entirety of season 7.

 

[devilof76]

Why do characters have to continuously develop? Seems a skewed literary criteria to me.

 

[Platty]

I think the shows just lacking a decent villain. So Negans arrived at just the right time.

The world they live in puts an emphasis on survival more than development IMO. They are all in a daily struggle to stay among the living. That in and of itself is a compelling story as far as I'm concerned.

I agree with you. Nothing wrong with a few F bombs. Especially given the graphic violence in the show already.

Yep.
