(TV Show) How will the more minor members play out storywise?
Im just curious what peoples thoughts are about some of the minor TV show characters (pre Alexandria) and their roles in the future of the story
So this means forget Rick,Carl, Michonne, Glenn, Maggie, Carol and Daryl .... and I guess Judith
The rest is a massive group of characters in the pre Alexandria group however to be honest we barely know any of them, so I'm wondering what your thoughts are how they compare to the comic character and how they will play out . Personally while I like the lot of them and they are interesting the sheer amount of them means non of them ever really develop after their initial storyline has finished. With all the new Alexandria cast and future seasons i'm not seeing too much of an avenue for development unless they off a few. To be honest Glenn and Maggie almost factor into this they havnt had a storyline in ages.
Sasha
I'm not going to lie she's honestly my least favourite character on the show, unintentionally at least the writers clearly dont want us to like Gabriel or Eugene much at this point. The reason I dont is that Sasha has always just kind of been there and beyond that she just reacts to the situation shes in often in a bitchy or aggressive way. Despite this it seems clear they have her pipped for the role of Andrea (or at least part of her role) now that the actual andrea is dead. I dont know if its the actress or just circumstance but i've never warmed to her, which is a shame as the writers really have tried with her.
Tara
Who? Pretty much sums her up which is a shame I liked her a lot in the end of season 4 and that one episode this season she got any screen time but shes the main one to get totally sidelined. I've being paying attention she got 2 lines last week thats it since they came back from the break, shes just been in the background. Again shes a rich character and I'm glad the writers dont feel the need to just kill a person the moment their done but I have no idea what her character is going to do now. I can't think of a comic comparison however she is one of the few that stand out so I'm hopeful they develop her more as shes pretty hilarious. They need to pair her up with Abe and Eugene more.
Abraham
I always liked the comic character and they are trying to develop him however Daryl and Glenn have taken the majority of his development. Still hes at least relevant and funny enough I just wish they'd give him a few more scenes. I hope he doesnt end his comic arc the same way.
Rosita
Pretty much the same circumstance except she is what I always think comic Rosita was meant to be, in the comic she was always just an irritance to me however she comes across better (once they got rid of her weird outfit) and they've given a bit more of a character than the comic version. I like her quite a lot on the show which is one of the surprises. Still her and Abe would both benefit being given more to do. Still think shes one to watch for randomly being killed
Eugene
I wish they'd explored a bit more of the aftermath with him after his lie but still he's had a decent enough arc this season much better than the last one. The comic character should come out a bit more soon. Also his character has been much better now than it was in season 4 where it was just unbelievably weird.
Gabriel
I've never liked the comic character and I'm not liking the tv show character. I've always just found him to be one of those characters that is just out of place and weird. His comic character never really pays off either. Hope he goes next
Noah
Or new Tara. Again the writers must have a plan for him ...right? Again interesting character but they need to give him something to do him being in a scene every few episodes just kind of reminds the audience he exists. Also quickly becoming a pretty hated char cater by the majority I think completely by mistake.
i think thats it.... I may have forgotten one of them.
Anyway I'd rather keep Abe,Tara,Eugene out of all of them.
Comments
I just want Sasha and Tara to go already, they are both extremely boring
Don't worry, on the track we're going a bunch of characters should die.
At least Tara's funny. Sasha just wastes ammo on pictures while looking moody
What a huge miss with the t.v. show. Father Gabriel and Eugene should've had a discussion about, if there is a god? and the whole zombie apocalypse? it could have been fun.
I'm thinking Sasha is going to stay the long run sorry @Firewallcano. Her character may get better since she's stealing the spot light from Andrea.
And Noah needs to do something....anything to be considered a character.
Well that's because everybody hates Chris
Am I the only person who likes Sasha? Haha she's probably one of the most complex characters we've had and is certainly more interesting than many of the characters that are on now and have been on, including her brother, Tyreese.
I dont even think Tara is funny. I honestly just see her as the girl whose just there along with Sasha
Abraham's my favorite character, And I think it's bad when you're surprised that your fav characters actually gt a few lines, I really hope he gets more screen-time.
Not at all. I like Sasha too. If anything I just we could get inside her head a little more. I feel that way about all of the secondary members of the group. I feel like we get more backstory from the actors on Talking Dead, than we do from the actual characters. Did you know that Sasha was a fire fighter?
I personally think they're main characters, it's just that with a large cast they can't put focus on all their characters at once, trust me, their times will come...
