The show’s done a varying range of adapting characters. We have Dale, Andrea, Carl etc. who died long before their comic counterpart, and these are usually pretty obvious disappointments so I’m not really asking about them. Ones like Carol, Gabriel, Ezekiel, etc. who outlived their counterparts come to mind, and I’m wondering what other characters you think should still be around today despite dying in the source material as well as the show?
Obviously the longer a character lives the more attached you get and the more iconic they become, so I feel like there’s been a lot of missed opportunities. Carol is the only character to outlive her comic version by this long, and all the others only should have died recently. I think in attempting to stick to the comics they’ve missed out on a lot of characters that could have stepped up to lead the show, as Carol and Daryl are basically the leads now just due to surviving so long.
Abraham or Glenn come to mind for me. Abraham’s death was overshadowed by Glenn’s, so he could have stuck around for All Out War and even survived til now. Glenn’s death is iconic too, but everyone can sort of agree he could have become a great leader later on. It would obviously change Maggie’s story completely, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, as massive changes the show made have paid off before.
