Re-watching The Walking Dead after reading 40 comics

[Porn Shop Clerk]

And.....they're not supposed to be. The series is based on the comic, not an exact retelling. When they do another series, based on a different group, it's gonna have some aspects of the comic, too.

 

I'm rewatching it, too. It's surprising how much I'd forgotten.

 

then why even use the same characters if they're not going to be the same characters

Speaking of zombies. Z-nation premieres tonight on syfy.

now that will give people a reason to complain about acting and storytelling

Andrea turned into a bleeding heart bitch.

 

 

I really like the show for different reasons than I like the comics. I can totally appreciate and respect the fact that they made some different decisions due to working with a different medium.

 

That said...they fuged up one of the best characters in the WD universe with Andrea. They had a badass...and created...well...you nailed it.

wanna see some bad acting and writing? watch Z nation. I couldn't watch more than 15 minutes of that crap.

the comics and video game are just far superior to the show

I've been rewatching the series too and I'm about 4-5 episodes away from being finished. One thing that I've noticed during the rewatch is that while Daryl is a pretty decent character to have around, when he is the complete focus of the episode those episodes always suck.

the governor was better in the comics too

 

Seems like the TV Governor was some sort of hybrid of the Governor and Douglas; and also Woodbury on the TV show was a hybrid of Woodbury and Alexandria.

or you could go read the comics

 

I just read the first 126 comics recently.

 

You are overstating how much better the source material is.  The overall story arch is the same, and the only difference being really who dies and who lives.

 

Even though I say you are overstating how much better it is, it is an awesome comic series

My biggest complaint was the AMC overlords not letting Rick drop the F bomb in the final scene of the last season.

BTW are we going to use this thread as spoiler thread where we can openly talk about the source material without using spoiler blocks?

i honestly don't give a poo who lives and dies on the show, they're all interchangeable

 

but some of the deaths in the comics have affected me

The only one that really affected me involved a bat named Lucille. That poo was messed up

This last issue of the comic has lead us into some crazy weird water.
