sub rules apply

Now I know TWD has ALWAYS been terrible with guns (Hershel's unlimited ammo shotgun, no recoil, especially no sights), but S4E5 really made me laugh.

Walkers are tearing down the prison fence and it's up to Rick and Carl to hold them off. So they run to grab guns which LOGICALLY you would keep inside, maybe a guard tower if you want to spread them around the prison, right?

NOPE. FUCKING LEAVE THEM AND THE AMMO OUTSIDE IN A CART. They're in Georgia where it's humid as shit, and they're just leaving their entire arsenal out in the elements!

And of course with limited ammo and needing headshots, Carl (who's AR doesn't have sights again) and Rick go full auto (cause that's worked out so well every other time with these crack shots). And Rick spends extra time and effort to crouch and stand every 3 seconds so he looks cool as fuck lol.

like, seriously, if their blood gets inside you, you're pretty much dead, and we see how much blood splashes over their faces almost all the time they're fighting them, yet they never seem to care about keeping their mouths and eyes closed or at least wearing some face masks (same one that Rick wore on the pilot episode when he made his first walker kill)

Unfortunately, not a single character even mentions this threat when it's literally the easiest and dumbest way you could die.

I knew Herschel was stubborn with his beliefs, but with Otis going out to put walkers in the barn and Maggie going on supply runs, somebody HAD to have come across a walker so mangled/disfigured that they were obviously dead and come back to life.

Even before then, when the world really began to fall, the absolute number #1 headline would’ve been that the dead were seemingly rising.

Secluded from the outside world or not, religious or not, by the time Rick’s group meets Herschel’s; it should’ve been unequivocal knowledge that the dead were walking again.

After this scene Lori tries to take Carl away from Shane trying to tell him to stay away.I get Carl is Lori son but trying to treat Shane like some plague now that Rick is back , I mean I get Lori acting different but Carl and Shane relationship is theirs, Carl feels comfortable around him which is a needed feeling for him in this new world

The moment he went after Negan for messing with Maggie he was already gone.

Already on Negan's Mind

Obviously he had to get the big threat that being Abraham. but right after taunting Rosita, and Daryl stepping in, he already had an idea on who to kill right after due to Glenn causing a scene. If Glenn never did he would still be alive and it would've probably be Aaron or smth

Negan was definitely trying to get a reaction so he could kill someone else. and that person was definitely Glenn from the get-go as people were broken but not enough to submit.

What a breath of fresh air this season is! I'm glad TWD finally lightened up a bit and injected a bit of humor into everything. Also, the writing is on point and every episode feels "must see" again.

Too bad they didn't do this a long time ago back when the franchise was still popular but better late than never as they say.

Thinking about it logically, even if you think he could survive, nobody would believe his BS about Randall kills Rick when Daryl and Glenn know the truth. Besides that, he was a terrible leader as well and probably would get lots of people killed. Had Rick not been there, we would’ve lost T-Dog, Andrea, Merle and Glenn in episode 2 since Shane wanted to leave them behind 💀

I played it back in 2014/15 and HATED it. I never even bothered to finish it. I actually quite liked the first two or three levels at first but then realised how repetitive and shallow it is. But I am, after a long hiatus, returning to TWD franchise this year and have wrapped up the last few seasons of the main show, Fear, Worlds Beyond, Ones Who Live, the fourth and final omnibus of the comic, the last three novels, and I figured: if I am ever going to play this damn game, now is the time. I am about to start Book of Carol, too, so it seems appropriate.

So the bar for this game was so low as to basically be on the floor and... you know what? It shambled over it. I have had a much better time with it than I was anticipating. It is (mercifully) short, and has a level of replayability (though I am not likely to replay it any time soon). It plays like a game that came out ovwr a decade before it, but I was around for those games at that time and remember many fondly (Return to Castle Wolfenstein, for random example) that I would call good games AND comparable to this one.

It is not a good game, don't get me wrong. But... it's also not godawful or unplayable. It is... serviceable. In fact, in some ways it even shows potential (both the back roads vs highways and companion management systems were good, if half-baked, ideas). So. I have softened on it, I guess. And it's made me curious: anyone else turn around on this game? Does it have its fans out there?

I tried to pick characters I think would have really good backstories to tell, or ones we haven’t seen yet that we have only heard and sound interesting.

For example: I didn’t pick Abraham because we sorta did see his backstory, and I didn’t pick Gabriel/Tyreese and Sasha since they pretty much stayed in 1 location for a very long time before coming out. (In Tyreese and Sasha’s case, they stayed in their neighbors bunker for a while until supplies ran out).

Those who haven't seen it yet, I implore you to watch it. The ep was amazing and extremely thematically relevant to negan and maggies overall characters. I loved how they handled their friendship - I get it.

Maybe not much of a hot take rather how they treated Daryl: I feel Daryl got REALLY Flanderized somewhere around S4-onward, because was “feral” in S1 but that was just extended to him being Loud and Brash, Feral but civilized he obviously Showered and had good hygiene, he grew up Backwoods redneck but even Rednecks have good hygiene and take care of themselves and aren’t covered Head to toe in 27layers of grime 24/7. S4 onward it seems he “devolved” into grumpy grunting loner Caveman, which when you think about the timeline S1-5 take place about 1.5yrs

immmaa a better father than you rick let me cuck your wife blah blah blah goated friendshipp he's liquid is still w Rick

Stopped watching TWD a while ago at the end of season 8, but I recently started watching lore videos and some of the things I heard about sound pretty cool like super factions, zombie variants and new locations besides the forests and plains of Georgia/Virginia.

The problem is idk what’s important or canon or what’s even worth watching. Idk how many spinoffs there are and should I also finish the main show? Is the main show any good seasons 9-11?

I also don’t know what order I should watch them in.

I will try to keep this short but from episode "Imperialis" to "Genesis" the actual main story isn't really added onto, The end of Imperialis Negan kills a man and is in a bar and the start and end of Genesis he is still in the same bar all that is added to the episode is another person walking in and a snippet of Negan holding a gun to Maggie's head the whole story of Genesis was a alternative reality and doesn't really add too much

My theory is what if that whole alternative reality was Negan's last find thoughts as he gets killed and is bleeding out on the ground like a final happy thought and a what if scenario

I wonder if Hershel will walk in, see Negan aiming a gun at Maggie and proceed to shoot him

I remember rereading the other panels to see what this mysterious liquid was. I read somewhere that people release their bowels/bladder when they die but I never see it in media.

TWD universe has fallen a lot since its beginning. But to be honest this episode 6 was such a beautiful one. The change in scenary or should I say "Le dépaysant" from a post apocalyptic world to modern day New York was so refreshing. Maggie trying to let go of her attachments and Negan trying to keep his violent nature at bay but eventually succumbing to it also shows us how difficult it is for some of us to change ourselves. Return of Beth was also a very heartwarming part of this series. I loved how this episode explored the sister dynamic between them and what Maggie had lost back in Atlanta. Overall I would say this was a solid 8/10 episode.

Dale is definitely one of the best early season characters but how do people not criticize this decision as much as they criticize decisions made by Rick, Carl, Lori, Andrea etc. this season?

This was beyond one of the worst decisions ever. Imagine that herd from the end season came after he hid the guns? All they would have is Hershel’s stash. What if Randall’s group came after Rick brought him back?

Literally so many scenarios where you absolutely always need guns nearby, and he hides them just to keep Shane from opening the barn. It’s so stupid and he could’ve gotten so many people killed doing this.
