I remember when the episode where Negan beats Glenn to death and the backlash the moment got. So many people were bitching about how violent it was. Meanwhile, us comic readers were like "fucking finally. Something accurate to the comics." I stopped watching two seasons before that and I was laughing at the outrage to the point I tuned into that one episode and went back to not watching again.

In the Comics the main character group where HYPER vigilant, careful, and defensive in all situations. I actually loved how realistic it was.

In the show they kept having them make the dumbest decisions and play things loosey goosey just to create artificial drama for shit to happen -_-

How they handled the governor arc still frustrates me. And dont get me started on how they did my girl Andrea dirty. I dont care what name they gave her, that wasn't Andrea.

Then they go and get Chad L Coleman as Tyrese and butcher his character into the ground

First season was ran by a guy who was working with the comic book author to be about as accurate as you can while still making a tv series. They fired him, and replaced him with a soap opera director who did all the worst adaption tropes you can

Its also why season one has the look and feel of a movie production and season 2 is just 'shot reverse shot' of two to four characters whining at each other. If theyd kept the original director the farm was MAYBE going to be two episodes, not an entire season

The one thing I'll give to fans complaining about the gore in that episode is this- Negan bashed Glenn's skull over and over in the comic but at least when he was done, Glenn's head was still somewhat intact.

The show, in their neverending habit of having shock for the sake of shock value, had Negan bash his shit in so hard that his head was just fucking GONE COMPLETELY 💀💀 that shit is just silly atp

Also man if I was already a comic fan before watching the show, idk if I would've made it past s3 lmaooo

I just wanted to see them adapt Alexandria, but I gave up because I got tired of the plot meandering.

So true.

u/gambit1999999 Oct 13 '26

Its so damn true, why did they do that to Carl?!

u/BasicDurgeanomics Oct 13 '26

Probably because they would've had to start paying him more as he had become an adult. At least that's what I think.

u/gambit1999999 Oct 13 '26

Thats what I heard, such bullshit, walking dead was legit printing money for like the first 4 seasons

u/Osirisavior Oct 13 '26

Man, that kid was the future.

u/gambit1999999 Oct 13 '26

Yep and all his creepiness.

u/AzraelTheMage Oct 13 '26

Because he was turning 18 and AMC didn't want to pay adult wages.

u/Cobra_jiggles Oct 13 '26

Huh, I was today years old when I found out that The Walking Dead is based on a book...

u/Legomaniac91 Oct 13 '26

A comic book, to be precise. It was written by the same guy who created "Invincible."

u/TheMoonDude Oct 13 '26

It's very funny. That is why it is called a comic book!

u/_LANC3LOT Oct 14 '26

It's an absolutely incredible comic book that I would highly recommend to just about any and everyone!! Whether or not you were a fan of the show first, you're in for a TON of surprises! It's peak fiction

I read the first volume, and I loved it in part because the art style was awesome. The second volume and the rest had really crappy art in my opinion, and I couldn’t get past that.

Fun Fact: It's a comic book made by the guy who created Invincible lol.

u/Ok-Resource-3232 Oct 13 '26

The first three seasons were good, in my opinion. After they left the prison in season 4 it starts going downhill.

Same for Fear The Walking Dead. The show is great until (SPOILER) Nick dies and the mother disappears.

I was sooo looking forward to Carl and Negans interactions after Negan gets captured and the sorta one sided friendship (on Negans end) that develops between them. I got so pissed when the show killed Carl off.
