An interesting thought about the zombie virus.

(Mild spoilers for the TWDU in general in this post)

Something I’ve recently started thinking about again in regards to The Walking Dead’s zombie virus is when it was discovered by the CDC which was in April of 2010 according to the wiki timeline, and Dr. Jenner(by day count) in Season 1 while the apocalypse itself goes into full swing in August of 2010 with society completely collapsing by September 2010 according to Fear the Walking Dead quite a few months after the virus was discovered. I’ll also note that I put “again” in the starting sentence because I’m pretty sure someone else in the subreddit brought a similar idea up a few months ago which was when I first started thinking about it but I think it could make for an interesting discussion so I’m bringing it up again.

This makes me wonder if there were any pre-apocalypse zombie outbreaks that happened but were covered up by the world’s governments, or happened unnoticed leading up to Wildfire’s discovery by the CDC. Maybe the Wildfire Virus hadn’t been very effective at spreading initially so reanimation events may have been at a minimum in isolated areas, or quickly quarantined/covered up in major areas if any zombie reanimation events were occurring.

Though I’ve also had the thought that the Wildfire virus was discovered but may not have had the ability to reanimate the Dead yet, though if the virus has no symptoms other than reanimation upon death by other means than I imagine it wouldn’t have been able to avoid discovery for very long so clearly some zombies in some form, or another had to exist at least a few months before the apocalypse in small numbers, or in an isolated area/areas.

This stuff would actually make for some good Tales of the Walking Dead stories, or as a new spin-off based before the apocalypse even starts but after the virus was discovered, and kept secret.

S3E4 Daenerys gets the Unsullied

I'm on S3E4 of my rewatch and I think one of my favorite scenes in the entire series is when Dany made the deal to own the Unsullied and you realized she knew exactly what that asshat was saying the entire time. Well, at least I was surprised since I'd never read the book.

When she started speaking Valyrian I swear Jorah Mormont and Barristan Selmy just about broke their necks whipping their heads around so fast 📷

Watching GoT for the first time ever and I am in awe

I am watching Game of Thrones for the first time ever and I am so hooked. I typically don't like fantasy shows or movies, but there is so much more than just fantasy in Game of Thrones. The characters, the settings, it is all just incredible.

I tried starting it a few years ago but gave up after the first episode because I found the show hard to follow. I started it again last week and stuck with it. I am so glad I did.

I am at the Battle of Blackwater right now at the end of season two. I cannot wait to see where this show goes from here.

Just finished season 10 episode 8

Although the whisperers are supposed to be terrifying and they're portrayed as such, I never felt the abject terror and helplessness that I felt when Negan was introduced. That was one of the most terrifying moments on a tv show for me.

Granted, Alpha putting heads on spikes was horrific and I felt really bad for it, but still it failed to bring that level of emotion for me. Perhaps because all those killed were not the main characters that we had come to love. What are your thoughts? Please don't spoil the rest of the episodes

[SPOILERS] All the Problems in Game of Thrones

All the things wrong with got

Arya killing the night king solely for it to be unexpected, isn't the worst thing. The worst thing is that Jon had no real one on one with any white walker or night king. Nor did say brienne and Jaime and Arya with the walkers. Jon standing in front of Viscerion for 2 minutes while he builds up fire and then the shot cuts away, Sam on the ground surrounded by white walkers, shot cuts away. Bran seeing Arya and Sansa and telling them of Jon's heritage. Scene cuts away.

The wites run fast but when they're next to Sam and Jon when the night king resurrects the people around him, they walk insanely slow. The dothraki are all sent to battle, all die, and then all come back somehow for kings landing battle. Arya doesn't use any ability she spent 3 seasons wasting boring story lines on where she just washed dishes or fought some random girl where she was stabbed 4 times in the stomach and lives after being in nasty water and is saved by the women who she is spying on who somehow happens to know how to patch her up. She wins against the waif off screen. She kills the night king without using any ability, Bran also doesn't use his ability against the night king at all, we also never know what the night king wants, or what those symbols he left are. Cuz Dave and Dan said that they thought those symbols looked cool sk they just added them lol.

Bran is chosen to be king. Why? Because he has the best story. The dude whos story meant nothing, who was a huge let down from what was built up, has the best story? He doesn't use his ability once, he loses all character, and he is chosen. Also, WHY IS A KING CHOSEN BASED ON HIS STORY BEING GOD? Why is tyrion, the person who why is a king chosen based on his story being good? Why is tyrion choosing who's king like he isn't a prisoner who just disobeyed the king. Why aren't greyworm or the unsullied or the dothraki going after him? Why isn't Gendry being considered? Why would all the lords and ladies agree? Why would they allow Sansa to rule her own land but not anyone else?

Why would Dany burn all of kings landing after saving innocents in winterfel? Then after burning a million innocents in KL, she says winterfel is next? The place she just saved, she is not going to kill them herself? The same women who freed slaves from their masters and locked her Dragons up because they killed one innocent child? Now she kills thousands of them? Jon kills her and then drogon burns the throne down? Something he has no earthly possible way of knowing what is symbolizes? He doesn't kill the dude that just killed his mother?

Jon's heritage meant nothing in the end. Cercei did nothing for 2 seasons. Jaimes arc was ruined, they both had the worst deaths in terms of writing, in the show. As well as Dany.

Also, Jon, who just defied greyworm openly in front of the entire army, is now allowed to go see the queen, after seeing tyrion? When he sees tyrion, they take his sword away. But when he goes to the queen, they don't? Littlefinger dying is a joke, he is the smartest character, and he's reduced to garbage.

Hodors scene was beautiful. Yet it meant nothing, and changed nothing. Sad because it had so much potential. The red lady just lit the dothraki swords on fire? And they die ten seconds later? And then reappear, don't forget. Arya tip toes and uses a little switcharoo to jump on the night king and none of his white walker buddies attempt to stop her? This dude who has pin point accuracy to kill a dragon with a spear throw from hundreds or meters away while flying, can't hear, see or push or stab the girl as she is on him, nor can his men. Theon had a good ending tho, probably the best arc in the show.

The dothraki who are somehow alive again, are just gonna go back home? Same with the unsullied? And greyworm? Really? Lol. Then we go back to battle of the bastards where so many times Jon should've died, and Sansa who already had the Vales help from littlefinger, doesn't tell Jon that he has that whole army? Why? So Jon can seem more like a hero who overcame the odds and simply for shock value?

There is so much more but wow. This show didn't start going bad at s7. It started at s5, albeit slower than the downhill spiral that s7 to 8 were. S1 thru 4 are really great tho. All of this is just the things I've remembered over time. I love this show still. It's in my top 5 favorite forsure. I just can't put it in top 5 best anymore with all the contrived contradictory writing. What do u think?

[No Spoilers] Fictional War - Three Alliances

Which alliance would win in a full on war? Each of the houses are at their full strength, no dragons, giants, white walkers, wildlings or mercenaries though, only armies and fleets. Maybe politics if there is room for it, but at this point, they are all quite mad at each other.

Feel free to choose one king per alliance, although it might be obvious I'd be interesting to see a Lannister bow to a Greyjoy if you know what I mean.

You can also debate on how those alliances came to be, the circumstances can have a big outcome on the final result as we all know

Northern Alliance: - House Stark - House Tully - House Arryn

Golden Alliance: - House Greyjoy - House Lannister - House Tyrell

Royal Alliance: - House Targaryen - House Baratheon - House Martell

(Please note that the alliances are not balanced, it's only based on position of land)

[Spoilers] - The sings were there from the very beginning

I’m rewatching GoT for the 3rd time (prepping for House of Dragons lol). And I can’t stop thinking how everyone was mad over Daenerys’ character development and storyline.

Yes, I’m one of the minority who didn’t hate the last season.

I could see where she was headed from the very first time I saw S01E01.

The signs were everywhere.

Right now I paused on S02E06 to write this post.

She’s annoyingly yelling at the Spice King how she’s Daenerys Stormborn of the blood of old Valyria “And I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.”

There are so many other instances like this. It was so clear the whole time. Maybe even the only predictable thing in the series.

Now go ahead, burn me alive lol

Edit: Yes, I mistyped “signs” in the title

I feel like it was too sudden and quick within the episode/season. That whole episode just had bad vibes and threw off the entire plot of the show. Even with Drogon burning the Iron Throne adds to the,”what the f*** is this”. People might disagree with me and that is okay.

[Spoilers]

Jamie Lannister and Jon Snow.

Watched the series and read the books multiple odd times and cannot seem to get over how similar they are.

Simply comparing - Sure there is some ego. But both figures are genuine warriors during the same period and each have a keen sense of right and wrong. In many ways they represent the warrior via the faith of 7 better than anyone within a higher birth right during this period.

I think of Daenerys. Jon ultimately killed her, but Jamie was ready to risk it all in the face of a dragon to stop her reign. Jamie knows the Targaryen madness.

They were both void of practical political thinking. Instead they each seemed to understand right over wrong - whether they acted on the wrong sometimes.

No matter what, you can stretch many various comparisons. But with that said, you’d be lying to yourself if you didn’t agree there are a lot of cool and evident similarities between Jamie and Jon.

I think this enhanced strain of the Wildfire Virus has been in the series since Season 1.

Ok, so in the last episode of Worlds Beyond, it was show that the wildfire virus was heavily implied to be created on France and that in the process of studing it, they made a even more powerful strain of the Virus by accident that makes the reanimation process faster and the infected more stronger, faster and inteligent.

However, if we think about, this particular variant of the virus has been in the entire series since the beginning, as of season 1 we saw a zombie girl picking up a teddy bear and even running towards Rick, Morgan's wife trying to open the door with the knob, walkers climbing fences and using rocks to break glass, etc.

Interesting theory to think about, probably a retcon haha.

[SPOILERS] I have finished Game of Thrones - My Extended Thoughts

I have finished Game of thrones and would like to share some of my thoughts, particularly on what I loved about the show and where it went wrong for me. I want to preface this by saying Game of Thrones has become one of my favorite shows of all time, and has been an absolute pleasure to watch in the last year. Regardless on how I feel about the later seasons and inconsistencies in certain qualities, this is a 10/10 show like no other for me and I don't believe in abandoning my love for something just because of inconsistencies in quality. Long running shows at this length are likely to experience some ups and downs. At its worst moments, Game of Thrones was still a good show to me and at its best, which was sustained for many seasons, it was among the best media I have ever seen.

Seasons 1-5 exemplify what I love about the show. Amazing characters, amazing story-telling, a medieval setting with a dash of fantasy told in a realistic fashion. Many more reasons I'm sure we all know and relate with like the massive scale, variety of storylines and perspectives, morally gray characters, the fabulous acting, music, cinematography, and design. Some of the latter qualities were consistent throughout, although the core of the show was of course the writing of George RR Martin.

I would like to share what aspects I loved and what went wrong for me in the later seasons as my experience may not be quite the same as everyone else. That said, I'm sure I agree with most of the reasons we all love Game of Thrones, and agree with some of the criticisms of those later seasons when the show branches off from the books. That fact alone was what ultimately harms the later seasons I'm sure, one way or another.

I believe one of the core elements of Game of Thrones that makes it so special, that George RR Martin created and the showrunners realized with their adaption is that we truly *live* in the world of Westeros. We follow the characters lives in an epic scale and in great detail. We see all the events and moments, big and small, that happen between the major moments of actions and decisions. To get to see in live action in a tv show is truly a spectacular experience. When I first started Game of Thrones back in season 1, I initially thought it was interesting but the pace was too slow. It seemed to masterfully build up but lacked pay-off. My opinions changed as I learned to appreciate what Game of Thrones is and how it is different to many similar media, for this reason among others. I found myself enjoying the intense moments and shocking revelations in the story, but I also found myself completely captivated by this world and the many characters we followed. From the thrilling politics in King's Landing, to the somber discoveries at the Wall, to the ominous planning at Dragonstone, and so much more in between. I must say now King's landing storylines in season 1-4 was easily my favorite storylines of the show, which is part of what makes the later seasons less interesting for me when most of the interesting characters leave it.

I loved all of these separate stories and found every one of them to be interesting. It truly fleshed out the world of Westeros as well as giving us a decent look outside of Westeros with Daenerys's storylines. Following the journey's of each of these characters and when they intersect with others is just so cool, even through to the 8th season. Arya and Tywin for example is such as fascinating relationship we get to see in great length through season 2 among dozens of other relationships that we get to see in detail thanks to the slow pace of this show which makes it so much more nuanced.

This show just trying to be entertaining. It was trying to feel real. Events played out to be more realistic, with some liberties to make the story more entertaining of course, but it made genuine efforts to be realistic, subvert expectations, administer consequences, and ensure that no one was truly safe from death. Heroes failed just as often as villains, if not moreso, which kept me on the edge of my seat.

I'm pretty sure everyone loves season 1-4 so lets get to talking about my post season 4 opinions where opinions tend to get split, largely due to the beginning of the departure from the books.

Season 5 I actually loved for the most part. I'm pretty sure the more popular opinion I've heard of the post S4 seasons is that season 6 is the favorite and often ranked over 5. I still felt completely invested in the world of Westeros in season 5. The various storylines are great imo from the Knights Watch vs. Wilding conflict, Religious power growing at King's Landing, Stannis pushing further into Westeros facing the Boltons, Arya joining the faceless men, and Tyrion's journey to meet Dany among other storylines. All of these storylines still kept invested and expanded on the world in interesting ways. In particular, I do want to mention Hardhome is one of the best episodes in the entire series for me, and absolutely nailed showing the threat of the white walkers. I do also love the direction Tyrion takes (morally speaking, he has other issues later) as I feel it was earned that his was a decent and honorable person and not more on the evil spectrum that the books are leading him apparently (I haven't read them yet).

Just about the only thing negative I could say is that S5 wasn't as incredible as season 1-4, but its still incredible. Its like me picking my least favorite Harry Potter movie, while loving every single Harry Potter movie. Part of the ever so slight drop off from the height of S1-4 could simply be due to losing such amazing characters/actors along the way, like Tywin most recently, but that's what we love about this show in that is no one is safe. Even if character loses can be disappointing, we have to accept the losses on some level for creating real stakes in the show.

I do respect the stakes of the show, but they undeniably to have an impact however unfair that is to say considering that its the nature of Game of Thrones. A certain resolution to season 5 served as a further nail to the coffin of departing from George RR Martin's writing. Firstly, the loss of Stannis so anti-climactically at the end of season 5 wasn't a great choice in my opinion. Its not terribly an un-George RR Martin thing to do to have a character fall short of their goals as many would in a real world. We saw it before with characters like Robb. This show is known for subverting expectations, which I will get to more later, but this was a choice that just didn't feel right as I felt that his role should have been so much more. He was the King that survived from the Clash of Kings and he was such a fascinating characters with a strong will.

To me Stannis was as foundational to the show as Jon, Cersei, Tyrion, and Dany, even if his screen time was much smaller. He is someone who I believe should have gone out in a greater conflict consider the amount of time that was put into building up his character and his ambition to be King of Westeros, at the very least with a larger battle with the Boltons, or furthermore I think he would been better if he (+with/without Jon?) defeated the Boltons and had further stories before reaching his potential death fighting valiantly against the White walkers, Cersei, or warring with Daenerys which I believe would have been an interesting as I see parallels with Stannis and Dany between their strong will to rule and belief that they were chosen to rule almost as a sort of deity. If I'm remembering it right, season 5 also has an alarming lack of Littlefinger who was one of my favorite characters. This leads us to season 6 with Ramsay becoming more and more of a major antagonist.

So season 6 starts with my interest slightly lower than its ever been compared to prime Game of Thrones, but I still thought its was a great season. I've heard a lot of different opinions and season 6 tends to be viewed rather favorably despite it being mostly (if not all) a departure from the books (I know it gets messy but you can correct me as far as how much of S6 was canon if I said anything wrong). I think it was a great season overall and obviously there is the Battle of the Basterds which is probably the most praised post-books episodes and I agree on a certain level. Its an epic battle and epic episode. I do want to add that looking past the episode and events themselves which were pretty great, and a good amount of time was spend developing characters and their storylines. However, it just felt like something was missing. Season 6 was still great, and felt like the Game of Thrones we knew to an extent, but it just felt like something about it was slipping. It was still the characters and world we knew, but it wasn't *precisely* written by Martin anymore. And that made all the difference, however subtle. But good on the show runners for overall pulling off a season departing from Martin's Books.

Finally, we arrive at season 7 and 8. Now, I'm fresh off finishing season 7 within the month and season 8 last week, and I gotta say season 7 might be the biggest departure from what Game of Thrones is. Season 7 episode 1 and every episode that followed I immediately noticed a change. This was no longer the Game of Thrones I know from season 1-4. It even felt quite different from 5-6. I no longer felt like I lived in the world. The pacing change sporadically to that of a movie. It used to take episodes or even seasons to travel from one location to another. In season 7 Jon travels from the north to meet Dany in an episode. This is all to say what was obvious, the pacing felt very rushed compared to how Game of Thrones operated prior.

The events of season 7 were still quite cool, which is what makes this sad. We finally see Dany join the Game of Thrones in Westeros and interact with characters separate to her for 6 seasons, but it just felt off due to the changes. I'm not some film or writing expert, but I'll agree to the criticisms that the writing didn't feel the same, such as in the dialogue and pace. The fast paced allowed for so much less time to develop characters and storylines in season 7 than it did in prior seasons. The events and conflicts in season 7 feel like they could fill two seasons easily. Hell, season 7 would have ended with Jon meeting Dany after traveling for 8 episodes or so if this season was crafted like prior seasons.

The writing is just a lot less sound than before in the plot. The episode where Jon and crew travels north and somehow most of the group escapes from being surrounded by the white walkers just didn't feel like a realistic outcome at all. It was a fine moment to have some sacrifices like as Tormund and/or Jorah, one that truly reminded us of the stakes and the threat. One of the Brotherhood guys dies at least which does have an impact on Beric, but that didn't feel like enough for how silly it was to be surrounded like they were are hardly any of them die. The scenario was just ridiculous where it was hard to believe any of them should have lived. My suspense of disbelief was at an all time low.

I still did enjoy this season as well as season 8, but it just wasn't the same level as prior seasons. Tyrion, who was my favorite character, just doesn't feel as much like Tyrion anymore. I do like some of the core developments they did in season 7. Jon's goal to unite the people of Westeros who have been fighting for so long to face the common threat of the white walkers feels like the natural progression of the series.

On an off not, I didn't hate Littlefingers death but his character definetely could have been utilized better. Theres a lot of directions the show could have gone so I won't criticise it simply for not going the direction I wanted, but I would like to share a potential one that could have been interesting. Littlefinger potentially could have been one of the final villains, ascending to the iron throne as his ultimate goal and revealing himself to be as great an evil as Varys described he could be back in season three. Could have been really interesting.

Finally we reached season 8, the season that apparently ruins Game of Thrones. Before I discuss and before I watched it, I just want to say that nothing could really ruin the Game of Thrones I know and love. Even if it turned out terrible, which I don't think it did, that doesn't retroactively make several seasons of a show bad that came prior. Game of Thrones is still a masterpiece to me, at the least for its prime. I just accept that theres too many factors that go into a show and most very well will fluctuate in quality other years of production as I said so it can't ruin whats been established as great for me. Now onto the season.

Season 8 started off great imo, and actually fixed some of the issues. The pace *finally* slowed down some and breathed life into the world and characters (for the first few episodes at least). Episode 2 was probably my favorite of the season as we got to see many characters simply have conversations as they prepare to face likely death. The battle with the white walkers was epic. It was completely terrifying and kept me completely invested. The fighting and music were great, but the resolutions were not so great. The issue that is above all others, HARDLY ANY MEANINGFUL DEATHS. And really for no good reason.

We have reached the end of the show and the climactic battle where the living are losing the fight with the dead. Its a terrifying slaughter, and is bound to have causalities. In the game of thrones I know, many should have died here. It would be impactful, and the loss of the characters/actors wouldn't even be that harsh in the bigger picture of the franchise since the show is about to end. Any actor who had their character die in that battle got to be in Game of Thrones for every season since they were introduced until the final season. There should have been far more deaths on top of the few we had, and I think most of us would agree. It seems like a no brainer and I wonder how the writers could mess up this poorly for a show like Game of Thrones.

I'm not gonna take a big issue with Arya, but I will say that is didn't feel particularly rewarding as the resolution to the final battle. I feel like we could have seen the night king fight and kill far more people, ideally some characters with names and meaning to us as I said, before he met his end even if it was to a flying Arya. It did feel right that this was Jon's fight and it would have been cool for him to end it or play a bigger role, but I also accept that outcomes for the show aren't just to be pleasing and our expectations can be subverted as it had in the past.

The battle overall was great despite the issues, and I did really enjoy the celebration episodes after. It again reminds me of earlier game of thrones to get to see the characters have human moments and so many together, reminiscent of season 1 when they all first meet in Winterfell. Not the great resolution ever but satisfying enough, then we deal with Cersei and Dany. I don't have too much too say, other than it was once again rushed. This is the criticism everyone seems to have and I agree. The rushed pacing leads to Dany's rushed fall to being evil/insane, which I feel fine with aside from it being rushed and potentially unnecessary.

It did feel out of character for Dany to slaughter the innocent whom she was trying to free, but I guess them having Dany go "mad" frees her character of needed to act reasonable at that point. Dany does her thing, and again events get rushed and even skipped. Theres a lot of stuff it feels like we missed to actually see and that is unfortunate. This is not the way of Game of Thrones for most of the series. The final resolutions just feels like a lot of contrived and logically flawed outcomes and I tend to agree with the criticisms I've seen. Its unfortunate because as many have said, they could have delivered a similar ending with just more time and some changes and it could have felt a lot better.

The way Jon was handled in his final storylines was strange. I agree it would have been better to have him choosen to rule and have him turn it down and exile himself than to have the councel exile him for doing something that most of them viewed as the right thing to do. Theres so many things that they skip over where I just feels so rushed and disappointing to I see points. Theres a lot to pick apart but I'll just end with Bran being chosen. I don't think its the worst choice, but obviously far from what feels like a great choice. He doesn't have the best story, but I do find the idea of him being the most neutral choice they could agree on him to be an intriguing one. He lack of emotion could be an issue, but his knowledge of history could be a great help and arguably he could be a more objective ruler due to his nature. I at least would have liked to have seen more debate and consideration of other potentially options for King before they decided on Bran.

Jon did seem like the right choice but throughout the series it had been repeatedly shown that despite having the qualities of a good and just leader, he doesnt want to lead. For that reason I don't mind him not being selected but maybe they could have built up another options because I can't think of a strong one that would satisfy most fans. Bran seems quite division and unsatisfying, but is there anyone who would have been satifying for most fans? Let me know in the replies cause Im interested to hear what people think. Tryion becomes the defacto leader of Westeros which did actually seem like the right ending to reach from the first 4-6 seasons potentially but by season 7 and 8 he character did seem to make a lot of poor decisions to the point where its not as satisfying is it could have been done if he was built up better to be the right choice as Hand.

Idk if it was intended, which possibly adds some nuance to season 8, but Sansa (and Tyrion to a lesser extent) seem rather devious with how the handled Jon. Tyrion used Jon to kill Dany, but then didn't support him from being banished nearly enough. Sansa as well, tried to save Jon but seemed to settle for an outcome that saves his life but removes him from being the potential King of the North. These aren't criticisms neccessarily, because I think they are quite interesting gray areas to consider as we tend to in Game of thrones but I don't know if it was the actual intention which would instead make the writing a bit flawed. I've heard because say it before, but Sansa/Tyrion could have easily had Jon pardoned with their new positions, especially when the unsullied leave. Then theres Bran who saw everything coming which leads to all sorts of inquiries on his morality. I did enjoy seeing the last meeting of the new council with Tyrion being hand. It a group of characters who I respect for the most part and seems like a nice resolution for Kings landing.

Well, theres a bunch of my scattered thoughts on the show. In its prime its potentially the best show I've ever seen, and even though it had some declines its still one of my favorite shows of all time. I have a ton more thoughts especially on the early seasons which were my favorite, but thats some of the ones I wanted to share right now that mainly focused on the later seasons. That ended up being a lot longer than a thought. If anyone actually read this or just wants to discuss Game of Thrones hit me with some replies I'm down to chat about it.

I just watched 4x8 for the first time

Ok so I started watching TWD like 2 weeks ago and I just finished watching 4x8 and holy shit... I usually never cry when watching tv-shows and movies, in fact it has only happened 3 times now and this was the first time I cried at something else than Star Wars. That episode just was such an emotional rollercoaster. It had so many epic moments like Daryl (my favourite character) blowing up a tank and so many devastating moments like Rick almost dying, Hershel dying, Judith dying (i think) and the list goes on... Honestly when my friend recommended me this show i thought it wouldn't be that good and I'd probably drop it after a few episodes, but I was soo wrong, the entire show has been such a blast so far and i don't think there has been a single bad episode so far. I've heard the quality will unfortunately drop after season 5 but I hope i can still enjoy it. I might be posting more of my thoughts here as i think at least some of yall who have been with the show for years would like to hear newcomers opinions on it, or that's what i think anyways...

people who think negan was justified

How on earth do people think he was justified in killing Glenn and Abraham, I am seeing people say this everywhere and it makes no sense at all.

Yes Rick killed a bunch of negans people at the satellite station but before that we are literally told by Gregory that negan is taking all of their supplies from them and that he had killed a kid at hilltop. Then a few seasons later we find out he completely massacred all the men at oceanside, not to mention they literally took pictures of all of the people negan killed with Lucille and out it on a wall. Negan also forced multiple woman into a marriage with him.

Like he was literally a dictator to communities around him and a tyrant to his own people
