The Walking Dead

@JeffG. @Boushhdisguise @Old Biff from the Future Hey folks are you caught up with current TWD? Thoughts of this season? They are stringing along the Negan thread too much.....as I said before need to announce a final episode and work towards it.

 

I watched the first two or three episodes and gave up. I am done. Jumped the shark.

 

I didn't know this thread existed. -- I once was a fan of TWD (mainly comics). I think I've read the comics until the Whisperers were introduced. The TV series seemst to be almost at that point, right?
I've watched the first 5 seasons of TWD (season two is my favorite one). I came back for Negan, because Negan (and Dwight) were my favorite characters in the comics. Jeffrey Dean Morgan makes a good Negan, but the story is weak compared with the comics. Mainly because of the changes.

Killing off Carl. Are you serious? His arc with Negan was so important and great in the comics!

Right now I have to say Fear The Walking Dead is the better TWD. But even that show has major ups and downs.

 

I was out before that. By the 3rd episode I was all 'let Negan win, be Judith's new daddy, and kill everyone'. It was so dumb. That war the way they did it. Last season I was cheering Richonne and crying with the whole Sasha/Abraham story, and the Glenn/Maggie deal. It went downhill fast.

 

I can't believe how long i am already watching this show. so many years....

there were so many ups and downs, but for quite a while now i am just watching it out of habit.
my fire is long gone.

RIP Glenn

 

The comic book is better than the TV show. I stopped watching after season 6. The villains all seem almost the same. In the comic the villains were done better especially Nagen. In the comic Negan seem like he's in his late 20s early thirties has a harem etc, and the comic book has ended, the writer had nothing else to say. The ending was shocking, to say the least. I'd like to see if they would ever translate the ending into TV show, but the major character left the show, so the TV show is its own thing.

In the last comic book, the writer explains in-depth why he ended the series. The writer knows how much his audience loves the series and his thoughts were genuine. The showrunners of the TV show should follow suit, but I think they won't because the IP generates considerable revenue. I appreciate the writer for ending the series when he did. he has other comic books that netflix should consider turning into TV shows. He's a really good writer I think that's why they made him CEO of Image comic books.
