I have been looking at a lot of posts and comments on this sub, also posted a few things. Been noticing that a lot of people seem to not even like this show anymore. A lot of people say it sucks after season 6 or even sometimes hear them say it sucks after season 2.

My question is, if you don’t like this show anymore, or are bored of it. What’s the point of being on this sub? I understand if you are fans of it in general, but what’s the point if you only have negative things to say about it and don’t even watch it or rewatch it anymore?

I was legitimately expecting this sub to be filled with people who would just be stans about this show, but it’s the opposite, and i’m just wondering why.

To this day, I feel people still truly don't understand why Lori reacted the way she did towards Rick when he told her he had to kill Shane. Fans are quick to just call her a bitch and move on, in part no thanks to the unfortunate misogyny that does play a role in the overall Lori hate.

The Lori reaction becomes more understandable once you realize what she's exactly reacting too.

The overall anger is not necessarily directed at Rick, but herself. She feels guilt that all this happened because she asked Shane to stay, and then later telling Rick that Shane is dangerous.

She looks at Rick and sees a monster SHE created. To look at Rick in that moment is to face the consequences of her actions, and she didn't want to face that.

Add on to that Rick tells her Carl had to put down Walker Shane, and you have a mountain of guilt you're facing in that moment. She reacted with anger at Rick, but not truly at Rick, at what she made Rick become.

Does this excuse the reaction she had towards him? No. But what it does do is show that she wasn't treating Rick like that simply because she's a callus bitch, but because she felt responsible.

Ice Cream Man The Mortal shuffle was solicited as…

“The Mortal Coil Shuffle" is a one-time-only”…

“The Mortal Coil Shuffle will be printed once and once only—no second printings, no new runs, and never collected in a trade of any kind. It will exist—and then, like magic—it won't.”

And then…

“The sold out sequential sensation is back.”

“proud to present the second printing.”

No second printings, to, never mind, we take that back.

Should I be scared about Season 6? I'm rewatching the show, and I just finished Season 5. I need to be scared? because I don't remember a single damn thing, but I know the guy with the bat is about to show up. And what I do remember from that time is horror, death, and Rick's group being terrified and cornered.

I don't want to say goodbye to this strong, slightly unhinged but fearless leader, Rick.

I've only just started reading TWD. I've only seen season 1 and 2 of the show tbh, and on the subject of Carol in the comics, do other people hate her? I was literally counting down the pages until she died. I understand that her mind was broken due to everything happening but holy dude

i don't really see it

Hi guys, I’m watching twd for the first time and I just funished watching s6e9 (the episode where carl got shot in the eye) and I was wondering, how tf that bullet didn’t kill him?
Did that bullet just graze him, or it stopped into his eye? Is this possible or just plot armor?

At which point did you feel like the show was too much? before this point? After?

im rewatching the main show so i can watch their spin offs so i was wondering if they have and plans for a crossover cause i remember them all seperating

I recently did a rewatch after not watching for like 7 years. I took a break from the show because of how much it had departed from the source material. But rewatching.... Now I realize something. See when I was a kid like in 2005-2006 I was super into comics and the more mature ones were scary, so they were awesome to me, and I found The Walking Dead for the first time. I think it was like right when the Governor was being introduced.

Anyhow I followed it for years and thought it was awesome so when I'd heard that the same network that was doing Breaking Bad at the time would also be adapting this. As a teenager it was like hearing your favorite stupid offhand book was going to made into a full thing, it was awesome to hear, and I suspect every comic original fan remembers or felt this at some point. So before the show was even really being made we all had images and expectations in our heads from the get go.

So as time went on and we heard that the show as going to be its own thing but follow very closely to the source material, it was a bit scary but we were naive to think that the phrase "Its own thing" meant anything other than just that: its own thing. So as soon as it became a show and started to get popular and more people started to find the source material to compare and see what would happen in the future even MORE expectations started to form, while still ignoring the original statement that it would be its own thing.

Then time goes on and it gets so big that "Hype" starts to become a factor. By then the OG comic fans are a little worried about how things are going to be adapted going forwards, but happy with how the show has adapted thus far. (Season 5) As a counter to that, the hype and expectations are at an all time high. Not only that, people are trying to get set photos and spoiling things a year before they happen. Also around this time going into Season 6, the fanbase at large is getting a little fatigued by the fake out deaths and the sequence of events they try to portray in such a way to maximize suspense and hype, it was chaos trying to follow this shows fanbase closely haha.

All of this compounded up until seasons 6 and 7 (haha) Where we get to the famous moment (Will not spoil anything here) OG show watchers had gotten sick of the fake outs and the subversion style story writing that was coming with these seasons and when the famous moment happened it was the final straw for a lot, and too graphic for some. The comic fans, and hardcore fans had a little hope however. They didn't like how Negan's dialogue/first appearance was handled (along with the big moment and the subsequent seasons afterward) but because of the staying power of the character and who he was to the story at large, we all stuck it out to see where this would go. While still at this point letting expectations and hype fuel the fanbase, which had finally started to become toxic to itself.

Then Season 8 and 9 happen and we get a steady decline. All of this is to say after not watching for 7 or 8 years and coming back without any of the comic expectations and without any of the hype or preconceived notions.... The show is actually consistently good throughout its ENTIRE run to be honest. Like I don't feel that Seasons 6 through 8 were "Drawn out". I think the seasons after Season 9 are a tiny bit weaker, but not by much. That's to be expected of a show of this caliber after almost 2 decades of programming. I think the original run really suffered from the expectations and the hype and without all of it, looking back its a solid show by itself if you don't try and associate it with the source material.

TLDR: TWD IS BETTER AFTER YOU REWATCH IT A LONG TIME AFTER ITS AIRED AND DONT CONNECT IT WITH THE COMICS AS ITS OWN STORY.

In season 1 of the walking dead , rick grimes wears is sheriff uniform shirt , and a lot of season 1 hard fans like me , we like rick grimes in is sheriff uniform but , is uniform clothes are no longer avalible for purchase .

My idea is to create a petetion for lawpro and flying cross

start making again the tan uniform shirt and the 4 pocket

Striped pants .

If you could make a petetion , we all s1 rick grimes fans,

we wound appreciated.

8 minute episode, going over why ultimately, the idea that Shane is a better leader than Rick: is wrong.

Going over 3 major events throughout season 1 and 2 to come to the overall conclusion:

• Attack on Atlanta Camp
• The Walkers in the Barn
• The Randall Dilemma

Everyone always jumps straight to season 1 as the undisputed goat, but season 2 is where the storytelling actually got interesting. Playing as an 11-year-old Clementine completely flipped the dynamic of the game. Instead of being the protector like Lee, you were this kid surrounded by a bunch of traumatized, fully-grown adults who were looking to you to make the heavy calls. It made every single decision feel way more helpless and intense because you didn't have the physical authority to just boss people around.

​The atmosphere and the villain also did so much heavy lifting. Carver wasn't just a generic cartoon villain; he was calculating, calm, and genuinely unnerving, which made his whole camp arc feel like a ticking time bomb. Paired with the bleak, freezing winter setting, the whole game felt suffocating in a way season 1's summer backdrop never quite reached. You genuinely felt the chill and the starvation, which amplified every bad situation.

​Then you have the character writing, especially with Kenny and Jane. Watching Kenny completely unravel after losing everything, torn between his aggressive protective streak and his breaking sanity, made the conflict with Jane so brutal. That final choice in the blizzard wasn't just an easy pick; it genuinely forced you to weigh loyalty against survival ethics.

​Season 1 laid down the emotional groundwork, but Season 2 leaned hard into the psychological dread of growing up too fast in a dead world.

It’s been like 15 years since the zombie apocalypse started right? There are a finite number of zombies. I think I remember Eugene made bullets didn’t he? Other groups like the crm can make bullets too I’d imagine. Couldn’t you theoretically just kill all the zombies in the whole world/country? There had to be more bullets than zombies in the world. Then you’d only have to worry about immediately stabbing dead people in the head. Funerals and cremations can just be faster than they are normally. Kill all the zombies and normal life can literally begin again. It’ll take time to rebuild society but it would be easy wouldn’t it?

Salut les gars, je regarde TWD pour la seconde fois, et un truc qui me travaille à chaque fois c’est la démarche de Negan.

Là j’en suis à saison 10 épisode 5, avec le jeune Brandon névrosé.

C’est JeffreyDM qui a une démarche particulière ou c’est juste sa façon d’incarner le personnage ?
Il fait exprès de façon aussi nonchalante ? On dirait qu’il boite par moment

I know the Walking Dead has been a bit bumpy for the past few years and with its spinoffs, but Dead City Season 3 has been doing a really good job. Is it peak? I leave that for you to decide but it is at least solid which is all we can ask for.

I mostly am saying this because I love the universe and I want the good stuff to get supported.

Maybe you won't like it and that's fine, but if you have been on the fence about watching Dead City, consider this a nudge.

Es algo que no entiendo junto con la purga se supone que está prueba es para demostrar que el hijo es lo suficientemente fuerte pero que pasa si los padres son como la madre de Nolan que se vio que no iba a parar o Conquest que es una bestia en combate e inmisericorde no entiendo cómo alguien que recién se convierte en adulto podría contra 2 soldados experimentados y obviamente más fuertes cual se supone que es el criterio para que ese hijo pase o no la prueba

So I usually like Tynion's work, I've read quite a few and was really excited about the Dept. of Truth, so I got the first HC and was super disappointed. I loved the art and the concept, but the whole shtick felt like a guy being brought around and told stuff, with very little happening and progression, I went as far as also buying the 3 following volumes because I had faith in the project, but ended up finding it very "meh"

So, the first W0rldtr33 Hardcover is coming out. With how I've felt about the Department of Truth would you recommend it to me?

(for even more context, I've loved SiKTC by him, also The Deviant, thought Invisible man was good, and Wynd too, first volume of Exquisite Corpse too. I also read a ton more authors in pretty much every genre, horror, sci fi, documentary, crime, fantasy, I have very broad taste)

Thanks

It is physically almost impossible for me to not listen to this on repeat.

At this point I don't even choose to listen to it. My brain just automatically puts it on repeat.

I watched the show and loved it and i wanna read the comics but dont know where to start. Whats the best comic line to start with?

As a thragg fan

Sorry for the low quality camera lol
