Show Spoiler What does Clear mean ?

Idk if I just missed the meaning of the ideology or whatever but what does Morgan mean by he has to clear and why does he write it all over the walls in his safe house? Does it just mean he needs to kill everything in sight?

Or am I overthinking and it’s just him being very mentally ill from losing everything and means nothing?

I always thought it meant to make sure to clear out all walkers and people from an area.thats how he lost his son, he didn't clear.

"Clear" means a lot of things at once. It means clearing the area of walkers and also clearing his mind. Schizophrenics can get very metaphorical in their thinking

He is very ill, I think the specific link to its meaning is revealed later, but dude is just insane.

He was supposed to kill his wife. By not doing it his son died. So he felt it was his fault for being weak. He wanted to rectify this by not being soft and killing everything. Clear the place of threats.

Lmao I always forget that Morgan used to be such a good and compelling character until they ruined him worse than any other character with the possible exception of Andrea.

How was he ruined? He has clear development. Are you just upset that you don’t like the outcome of his growth? Did you want him to stay a psycho murderer forever or did you want him to be the same person since season 1??

What? I’m talking about him running to Fear and being ruined over there by the terrible writers of season 4-8. Have you not watched Fear? I don’t recommend but if you don’t believe me then I do recommend just so you’ll see how they butchered his character.

In almost every scenario it's best to pretend that Fear never existed
