  • What the hell is this "video game master race" bull shit and why am I being accused of it? My point is fro characters from the Show to the game and the comic all do dumb shit

    Are you really trying to turn this in a "video game master race" argument? And the video game characters do a bunch of dumb shit too

  • A lot of twdg fans seems to feel the need to state its "dominance" over the other branches of the franchise or other franchises in general. By stating that the game characters are smarter is a way of stating that "dominance" again, despite the fact a lot of the game characters do stupid stuff too.

    Heeeee's baaaack

  • That sounds really complicated. Master Race sounds like some sort of racial thing or some sort of Alien master race xD. But people are people we've seen dumb people and smart people in all installments but Lee and Carver would make high places looking at all the series over all.

  • What ever happened to Michonne? She's mentioned in A New Beginning once, in a line like 'Even after what happened....I miss Michonne."

    If it's revealed later don't tell me. I have yet to get Whispers Into Screams.

    Well Lee for sure. He was way ahead of the curve when it came to walker killing and general problem solving. If Clementine had just stayed h

  • Well if you have not been reading there are advantages to their walker skins. A lot of people are caught off guard and expect them to be slow and easily killed by melee hits since they look like simple walkers coming towards them. No one is expecting a walker to come in kill range and suddenly pull out a gun or Machete on them. A lot of the times they run up from their target's blind spot if its a human target. But thats not why they really wear the coats

    They also can lead the walker groups where they want them to go and use the walkers as a weapon. They live among the walkers to help get what they want. The walker skins are really just to protect them from the walkers. A walker skin is better than a quick coating of walker guts. As seen in the game and on the TV show a quick coating of walker guts sometimes can fail and be seen through. The more like a walker they are the via smell and looks less likely a walker will attack them.

    Why the hell would people disguise themselves as walkers? It makes them targets. I always thought Carl and Sophia were meant for eachother

  • Would be cool to imagine Negan teaming up with Rick to take the whisperers down tho. You need crazy to fight against crazy lol

    "Why the hell would people disguise themselves as walkers? It makes them targets."

    Actually the whisperers methods are so successful that they are in their thousands. They have succeeded because they have learned to live and walk amongst the dead, knowing that only an idiot would attempt to shoot a "roamer" in a herd from long range, since doing so would lead all of the "roamers" in that direction. considering ammunition is scarce and fire arms are only used as a last resort they aren't likely to be mistaking shot from long range. They are underestimated by other people because they are thought to be dumb and slow so they lead people into a false sense of security.

    "Seems like doing more work where they could just smeere the guts on them and its going to suck once they come across the wrong group of survivors. Just goes to show:

    TWD Video Game Character are smarter than the Comic Characters"

    When Michonne kept "walkers" on chains and Rick covered himself with "walker" guts they fooled the dead because they smelt and moved like them. When the "whisperers" disguised themselves with "walker" skins they fooled the dead, the living and even most of us when they debuted. I'd say that makes the comic characters smarter since more are deceived by their actions.

    You see the walking dead's world has evolved since the game which makes sense as the comic is and has always been the trend setter that inspires the game and show.

    As for the game characters being smarter it seems you have forgotten Ben.Lol. Then there is Carly's inability to work a radio that only needed batteries and the fact that no one thought it odd or suspicious that the St Johns wouldn't let them check on their injured friend. I could go on.

    Although it was mostly Ben who did dumb shit(beyond belief). It wasn't just Ben that did dumb shit (beyond belief) throughout the course of the game. "Just sayin!"

  • "No shit but have you seen some of the idiotic shit the comic characters do? Its beyond full retard"

    Even in real life people do idiotic shit. We can't all be geniuses. That said the idiotic shit that goes down in the comics doesn't really come off as out of place or out character, nor does it break immersion. Idiotic shit goes down in the game just for the purpose of moving the story along quickly and placing the characters in danger, to keep the game at a high tempo. This is particularly evident when characters do things out of character. What I will say is that in over 9 years worth of twd comics I have less memories of idiotic shit being done by the characters but with the game all anyone has to say is Ben or Carly's radio and people will know exactly what they were referring to.

  • just hope Kirkman doesn't screw this arc up like All out war.

    How did he screw up All Out War..?

    "Sadly yes but look at Kenny (determinant) and Clem, they're story started before issue 1 yet they've outlived the Woodbury Army, The majority of the prison, The Hunters, Abraham and Glenn a long with several other major characters in the comics. They've managed to survive up until the end of All Out War Part II and if S3 has a time skip even longer than that."

    But that is only because of the time skips. Most of their experiences happen off screen and they are generally in places of safety until the game resumes. Season 1 they spend 3 months in the safety of the motor In and drop like flies within the first day of them leaving to take their chances on the road. Season 2 has a massive 16 month time skip but from what Christa is saying to Clementine when the game Continues Clementine is still in experienced and perceived by Christa as a liability. The fact that Christa feels Clem should be doing the things she is doing for her by herself tells me that the characters were just suspended in hyper sleep until we regained control. I would say Clementine was mostly sheltered by Christa during the 16 months and the two of them avoided other people until we took control and the pair were separated.

    I think them surviving that long is more to do with the writers wanting their timeline to coincide with Rick's then being a testament to their survival skills and competence. It's just done for writer's convenience. Kenny keeps his shit together for 16 months, sees Clementine and goes back to being bat shit crazy and the liability he was in season 1 when he turned to drink. The character's were just on pause until we met up with them again.
