  • So technically, i still don't know if he even killed another after Glen.

  • I predicted it... but I was still shocked xD

  • A pointless exercise to make up for the failure of Negan in Season 6. A plot spread out for hours when they had no real story for half a season.

  • I only predicted Abraham, but not Glenn. so i guess they'd stick to the comics' remaining characters except for Andrea & Daryl.

    Any guess why they didn't pick Daryl? Is it because of the #theykilldarylweriot?

  • The in-universe excuse was "cuz you kill the rebels last lulz". The actual explanation is that Daryl is a fan favourite and they don't want to kill him off.

  • I just edited your title a bit, having double fatality is kind of a spoiler, isn't it?

  • Okay, thanks

  • I thought it was gonna be Glenn, considering he was the one who died in the comics. And then I thought, "but then again, TWD has changed a lot of things from their adaptations of the source material."

    So then it turned out Abraham died (that's sort of redemption, because he was the one who died in Denise's place in the comics), and then Daryl flipped his shit and then got Glenn killed too. I then thought to myself out loud: "I WAS RIGHT!!! Sort of!"

    I'll call what Daryl did "Strike One".

  • Don't worry.. He didn't, but Maggie was out of order.

  • I am sick of Daryl trying to be a badass. I hope Negan kicks his ass for that punch! Surrounded by 50+ men and you have a group member punch the leader when he says if anyone moves, anyone says anything,.....that he is going to hurt the group leader and his son. Daryl is always forced to look tough when we see he is not that great a fighter. Tyreese nearly kicked his ass. Let's say Negan forced Rick to eat Carl's eye like he said he would do if anyone moved, do you really think Rick would continue to be his friend? I think Rick would kill him after Negan left. Let me know if you guys agree with what Daryl did.

  • I did a reaction video, although it's in Spanish since I'm Spanish. XD If anyone's curious:

  • I wasn't dissapointed, just expected it (read the comics). I was thinking it made sense with Abraham seeing how he wold be putting a quite a fight before he dies. It's just in his character, but then again you could say that about everyone lol.

    I sort of have a feeling that Daryl is secretly working for Negan.

    That would explain why Negan spared him, and why he got Glenn killed.

    And the only reason he killed some of his men was to make sure Rick and his group believed his performance!

    It's the perfect crime!

  • I was laughing my ass off, not kidding. The deaths were so predictable and had no impact on me( and I'm someone who cried even when fucking t-dog died, rofl, not to mention that abe is my 2nd fav character). The cliffhanger just DIDNT work! I was actually happy that abe and glen got the shit beat out of them because negan is my favorite character from the comic books and I wanted his appearance to be shocking and terrifying.

  • The cliffhanger absolutely ruined everything.

  • I have a feeling that they're saving Darly for his own ark involving Dwight - at least this seemed to be what allot of people were speculating, it's possible it's due to him being a fan favorite but I think they have something else in mind for him, it might be a good way to have a POV at the Saviors Base - I'm thinking an episode centering Daryl is possible?

  • They were predictable, but they were still hard to watch. As much as I hated the cliffhanger, the deaths were done well

  • thats nice

  • I really don't know how the TV writers are going to make Negan likable after this

  • Daryl is likely going to take over Dwight's comic storyline (minus getting his face burned). Dwight from the comic is really just a version of Daryl anyways. Dwight wasn't created until after Daryl had already become a fan favorite on the show. He looks pretty similar to Daryl and has the same weapon and everything. I'd imagine tv show Dwight will die sometime either this season or next and Daryl will take over Dwight's post timeskip story.

  • maybe i'm prejudging but i just don't see the actor playing Dwight as a likeable character? sorry

    The season seven premiere provides all the more reason for me to stay the fuck away from Telltale's season three. Robert Kirkman's more hands-on involvement had me worried me from the beginning, and now the outcome of the latest episode has cinched it. I don't watch TV or play video games for this kind of vile pessimistic crap.

    You want to know who Kirkman and his fellow writers on the show really are? They're this guy:

  • Holy shit, Littlefinger! :O

    The season seven premiere provides all the more reason for me to stay the fuck away from Telltale's season three. Robert Kirkman's more hand

  • It depends on the fan. He's acquired a fan base and Kirkman seems to think so

  • Like many have said - the deaths were predictable. I always had a feeling they might kill Glenn. I only just found out that he did die that way in the comics. Abraham went out like a boss and he was cool and all but it doesn't really bother me that much he's gone although that could change.

    The episode was still good and the brutality did make it intense I suppose. People saying it beats Game of Thrones though... Yeah I don't know about that.

    I just hope the show can stay good for a while because the last few seasons have been quite inconsistent in terms of quality in my opinion.

  • It depends. What do you think makes a good villain in fiction?

    The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones is the new 80's slasher flick for horny teens that stole their parents' car and snuck into the nearest late night screening to have their first sexual awakening.

    It's all just a branded fantasy for people who want to watch a gory rendition of elimination game shows propped up as soap-opera's... with zom- sorry, walkers.

    It's all just ridiculous fun and people take the shit too goddamn seriously honestly.

    There's a big difference between '80's slasher flicks and misery porn being peddled today. Even horror movies from the '80's followed their own "code" about who does or doesn't deserve to die. At the end, there's (almost) always one or more survivors who have triumphed over all the adversity they faced. TWD and GOT don't give a rat's ass about any of that. They're more interested in punishing you for being born. (Oh, and if you think the first episode of season seven was "fun," you're one sick puppy. These shows want us to take them seriously all the damn time.)

    That's a bold statement. I have never done any of these things and I watch both The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. GOT seems too mature for most teens honestly. On average, nearly everyone I know who watches GOT is an adult. Teens who have watched it stopped because they "got bored." Since the show is on such a serious note. Most people on GOT forums are adults.

    It's all just ridiculous fun and people take the shit too goddamn seriously honestly.

    I can agree with this though, to some extent.

    I don't think it's fair to assume people who watch TWD and GoT and enjoy it are misery addled sadists.

    I've seen my fair share of films and television shows and think, for the most part, violence in visual medium doesn't necessarily have to display any release or catharsis for the audience to be interpreted as an interesting or appreciative experience.

    I know some of my favorite movies are immensely violent and often the violence isn't used as much as a stepping stone to punctuate a progressive plot as much as it is to further portray the sometimes bleak narrative... If that makes sense?

    My issue is with how much some shows (and films too) use death as their only real sense of character development or narrative progression. Antichrist is one of my all-time favorites, and their are two prolonged and extremely graphic scenes depicting gentile mutilation in highly detailed and up close shots, but it was used to further imply the visual grimness of the films tone and was done intelligently. I'd say TWD is something *more digestible for many than the example but something far less engrossing as a consequence. Kind of like the Saw films. Just horror-themed largely harmless trudges through death and despair with little intrigue or challenge for the audience to reflect upon.

  • Just to clarify, I don't dislike either show. They're both excellently acted, fairly well written, and to many I'm sure, extremely engaging. I just find them to be relatively boring in their sense of progression, character depth, and the violence is quite boring and too exaggerated for me to really enjoy them.

  • Wrapping up, The Walking Dead and Game Of Thrones do a good job at showing its viewers that life is not unrealistic, and that we, as individuals, do not necessarily triumph and people with opposing goals lose; that's just absurd.

    Eh. Like everyone else, I was sad that Abraham and Glenn bit the dust. But honestly, I got kinda bored halfway through the episode when I realized that the overall plot wasn't really progressing beyond the fact that we found out who got bludgeoned to death at the end of Last Day on Earth.

  • The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones

    I dont get why people put the two together, Game of thrones is the all round better show as it has humour and light and darkness, its a dismal world overall but the world gives you some hope and good character development. The walking dead had this till about season 3 where it got totally serious and lost any of its charm. Albeit the walking deads main issue is it has no story plan, theres no end game so the story just stops being engaging

  • i pretty much new who it was gonna be, due to the comic books and the millions of youtube videos predicting or flat out spoiling it.

    but how they executed the second death shocked me because i didn't know if they were gonna go through with ending that character arc. it was a horrible way of doing so, but i think it was a good entrance to a good villain.

    it for sure kept me on the edge of my seat.
