“Scenes too violent for the show”

I remember, a while ago now, that there used to be a list on the Walking Dead wiki of scenes from the comics that were seen as “too graphic” for the show, since the comics were pretty much unrated and the AMC series was restricted to cable rules. Now, with the show about to begin ending its second to last season, practically all of those scenes have been adapted to the screen.

Glenn’s death, Tyreese (Hershel) being decapitated, Mark getting his face ironed, Billy (Lizzie) killing Ben (Mika), Carl’s eye getting shot out, the heads on pikes, etc. The only ones that haven’t been adapted are the ones that were really too much, like the Governor raping Michonne or the Greene sisters having their heads cut off.

I just find it amazing how, in such little time, a series people always said was way too tame compared to the source material has managed to include almost every single scene that was originally viewed as “impossible for television”. Really shows how far they’ve come.
