The Walking Dead spoilers thread

[Josephus]

GoT, a show about knights and dragons and political intrigue, has pregnant women stabbed in the stomach and little girls burned alive: everyone is fine.

Walking Dead, a show about apocalypse and zombies with loads of gore, has two people get their heads bashed in: everyone loses their shit.

IMO this episode shows brilliantly the breaking of Rick and what kind of threat Negan is.

Could use nudity though

[Josquius]

Glenn is the lady's favourite. Hence the upset

[Solmyr]

Nobody is "losing their shit" over TWD's season opener. Critics are pointing out that it was gore for the sake of gore, that it was lazy, phoned in, and just plain bad writing.

The victims were leaked months ago, that's not the point. As I posted, the head-bashing is used to establish what kind of threat Negan is. He does not fuck around, compared to, say, the Governor who did fuck all. And the scene is pretty much directly taken from the comic, so I don't see why the gore is somehow reason to complain.

I watched multiple clips on youtube.

I love Negan.

As the promo shows Negan is in charge now.

What works in a comic doesn't necessarily work in TV.

[Grey Fox]

Well, yeah. That's why Rick, Carl, Michonne, Carol, Morgan & Daryl are not losing a limb anytime soon. No one wants to pay for that level of CGI.

Were they? I thought they did a pretty good job of not leaking. Even Langusih was saying Maggie just a week ago.
Sure, many people thought Glenn would die based on the comic book.

The show, in essence.

[Josquius]

I wonder... was the Glenn dead/not dead stupidity earlier in the series purely a red herring for the negan incident to counteract the obvious comic evidence ?

Well, not "leaked" per se, but JDM accidentally mentioned "deaths" (multiple) in an interview and people noted the two actors not filming anymore after the first episode was done.

I think at this point the showrunners just like to take a dump on their viewers for giggles. Like an abused and addicted crackwhore, we keep coming back anyway. Why not fuck with us just for the hell of it? 

[Eddie Teach]

Why can't Jon Snow be dead instead of Glenn?

Interesting episode, and nice change of pace after that last one.
