  • He's a little whine and a shit at times, gotten kinda better now and he also got Dale killed by being a retard.

    R.I.P Dale. - We all loved you.

  • When was he being a whiny shit? also that wasn't his fault, so many factors played into Dales death and although Carl was one of them, that doesn't make it his fault. That's kinda like blaming Lori for Shane going crazy and getting killed.

  • He is a little turd. He is like 14 trying to be solid snake. Fuck him.

  • Most of the people who hate Carl-if not all of them- just hates him because they think he is a annoying twat while forgetting he is only a realistically written teenager-at least, in the comics.

  • I find him arrogant at most times and in the comics he's a whiny emo kid. He's gotten a couple of people killed for no good reason and I hate how he treats Rick, who would do anything to protect him.

  • I used to not like him because he was really annoying and pretty much got Dale killed, he also blamed the whole governor thing on Rick. I've grown some sympathy for him however after the marauders (whatever people call them :P) tried to rape him.

  • He's just irritating, plain and simple. Nothing like our dear Clemmy.

  • I see fans of the game say this all the time however they think Clem, who is far younger than Carl is a badass for acting older than she is, kinda hypocritical

  • I think a lot of people just don't try to understand him, plus people seem to hate kids, Clem being a rare exception.

  • People forget that Carl apologized to Rick and admitted that he is scared

  • Don't like my opinion
    Call it hypocritical

  • If Lori wouldn't of had sex with Shane, he probably wouldn't of been like that in the first place. She kind of screwed him over.

    I kind of like him. He reminds me a lot of myself at that age.

  • Because he's never in the house.

  • Also isn't Carl a bit too young to fangirl over? Bit paedophilic?

  • i know one of the girls of the forum who is like 14, she likes him.

  • He did everything wrong until Season 4 and he started listening to his dad. Hopefully he will be better this season.

  • Exactly! :p

    I don´t hate him but...he´s kind of irritating sometimes. I thought he got better in S4 though. Hopefully S5 too.

  • Unfortunately I think he is MUCH badass, and AMC don't know how to make characters.

  • Little bastard just won't stay in the house. Also Dale. He kinda got that nice old man killed... again because he wouldn't stay in the house.

    He's gotten better over the Seasons, though. I'm still not a big fan of him but I don't dislike him.

  • Carl has no personality he is nothing more than a plot device that stirs up conflict in the group. Unlike Clementine

    I've only reached half-way through Season 3, so perhaps I haven't yet seen what they hate in Carl. I found myself caring for his well-being and I like his character a lot.

    The only moment I actually didn't like him was when he told his dad to shoot the captured guy.

    Carl did make some childish mistakes, like when he sneaked off and encountered a walker (that action didn't cause Dale's death, though he could have prevented it had he shot the walker or told someone).

    But guess what? It is realistic for children to make childish mistakes, and I like realism in a story.

  • The difference is, at badassery, Clementine actually succeeds.

    "You'll get a funeral if you don't wise up and call me CARL POPPA" XD I don't hate him, used to, though, but I ended up liking him by the end of Season 4.

  • Because people love to jump the bandwagons

    What the hell? "Fangirls" generally aren't 30. Didn't you learn anything from South Park?

  • Can't watch the video, its restricted for my country. But I suppose I was thinking of Carl when he was ten.

    He's what, fifteen now? I suppose its alright now. Can't see why you'd fangirl over him though.

  • I like him, a lot more now than I used too. The only time I didn't like him was when he caused Dales death but he redeemed himself straight after when he shot Shane.

  • I don't know , I don't hate him but don't like him either.

  • I dunno why.

  • Hes just so annoying, Season 4 ep 9 is the best example ugh i hate him so much

  • But He is so DREAMY!

    His skinny girl arms, his freckles just make him look like a REAL Tough Guy.

    His tough guy attitude is so dreamy.

  • But I'm a boy ㅜ___ㅜ despite the profile pic...

    I have no interest just saying with boybands and the such a lot of the fan base is middle school/ high school crowd. Look at when the Backstreet Boys (in middle school my best friend [a girl] totally had crush on them) or even Justin Beber came out.

  • Now his voice has dropped, he sounds so rugged and manly, totally irrestistable! Am I right? I'm right.

  • I didn't think of teenage girls watching it. I'm sure many do, my bad.

    I don't understand why most girls go for the most girly looking guys...maybe theyre all secret lesbians? Damn haha
