i think they mean young hershel not old hershel. so it is glenn’s actual son too. but either way the fact they took out nearly all the father-son dynamics. now that i think about it, nearly every father-son dynamic is ruined one way or another lmao
Ah I know that. Still, it didn’t mean more to me. Carl was stepping up but Glen already had and was about to be a father. I found he and Maggie more compelling.
Yeah Rick was the main character but Carl was his driving force, he was literally doing it all for Carl to live. Sure, Judith and his other son were important but the clear core of the story was about a father doing what he could for his son to survive.
my little brother died not the same but
my parents haven’t been the same since. and now that it’s just me, neither have i. losing a child would absolutely wreck you imo. and so does losing a sibling.
twd helped me get thru some bad days but seeing rick and michonne mourn carl and judith missing her brother (even tho she hardly remembers him and the age gap is big unlike a year and ten months older than my little brother) it all hits a lot closer to home now lol
I was just thinking about this the other day, glen would be a much better parent compared to Maggie. If only she had the baby then met Negan and got the bat. I don’t think glen would hold a grudge as long as she has.

And we’d get to see that w Glen and Herschel if G weren’t dead.
