TWD is the only show that gets shit on for that time it followed the comics.
I'm not shitting on it, and I strongly doubt it is the only show. They also didn't follow the comics most of the time so making it a big deal for this one event, where they also killed off another character that was on a semi interesting arc, is a silly thing to focus on.
Killing off main characters can be a good thing, but the show just didn't have any remaining compelling character arcs once they killed off the last thing that gave any reason for living to introduce yet another 'humans are the real monsters' villain.
Tbf, I meant generally.
Its the most common reason people seem to have for why they quit the show.
Probably because it seemed like a reversal. Glenn is nobody in the comics so when this happens.
Yes, but is their reason like mine where it isn't the death itself but how they lead up to it with the stupid trash can fake out and that they had already ruined any reason for rooting for the other characters?
It was the last straw in a series of decisions by the showrunners, not something that came out of the blue and ruined an otherwise enjoyable show.
I stopped watching mostly because of the ridiculousness that these guys had the logistics to shut down every single road and trail away from there, during a zombie apocalypse no less. No groups ran into problems? None? Then glen died. And I tried to watch it longer but the hopelessness led to pointlessness.
I hated the cliffhanger ... not showing the person(s) was just cheap.
The trash can thing didn't help, to be sure.
