    The reason the Negan killing Glenn scene works better in the comics is, initially in the OG run, it just... happens. Issue 100 comes out, Negan just shows up, turns Glenn into hamburger helper, and is gone in less than half the issue. It's so sudden and brutal, and doesn't have a 6 month wait time to see what happens

      Tbf, the time between S6's finale and S7 was a great time to be a TWD fan. The amount of theory and analysis videos breaking down every frame and sound effect was countless. It really made you hyped-yet-scared to see who's poor head received Lucille; and how baffling it was that not only Abraham, but ALSO Glenn died that horrific way.
      I remember those 6 months fondly.

      To add I would also say that the show very blantantly had Abraham die in the line up just for shock value as he was suppose to die literally 2 episodes earlier but they gave the iconic arrow in the eye to Denise a side character who nobody really knew or cared for that much.

      Yup, I also feel like it was less powerful because while tv Glenn was well loved, he wasnt the tv fan fave, Daryl was, so instead of a character everyone loved, it was a character who many loved, but had already been put off by his earlier fake-out death scene.
      The punch was gone, those who loved Glenn had already morned him, only to be told he survived in a way that feels soo ridiculous, then have him killed off again for real not soon after.
      Also less impactful thanks to the comic readers predictions basically spoiling it for many, they absolutely should have picked a diffrent character to kill off for the show.

    In my opinion Rick keeping Negan alive in the comics made way more sense than the show. In the comics, Carl shot Shane to save Rick, lost his mom and baby sister, shot Ben cause he saw no one else knew what to do with him, and suffered memory loss when he was shot in the eye. All of that was building up to take Carl into a real dark place and Rick believed he needed to show not just everyone but Carl as well that death and violence isn’t the only answer. Since they decided to make Carl an inconsistent pacifist in the show he decides to go from guns blazing at Sanctuary to specifically kill Negan, to telling Rick there should be peace out of literal nowhere.

      The show has some of the best and worst writing I’ve ever seen it’s so weird. Sometimes the tv show is just peak television, then other times it’s like the script is being written by a barely adept middle schooler and that inconsistency really fucked the show up for good. Even the spin offs have so many problems at times even when they’re good. Damn shame.

    • @cynicalmemester1694
      @cynicalmemester1694 6 місяців тому

      Well yeah as the war went on and people started losing their lives, Carl's perspective and views changed. Rick is also an inconsistent character by this standard since at the start of the show he proudly declared that he doesn't kill the living only to later on have the highest kill count out of all the characters in the show.
      In the comics it made no sense because Rick had already killed so many saviors both directly and indirectly by leading the battle yet never batted a single eye but the moment he confronted Negan he suddenly gets sentimental by saying "actually revenge bad, murder wrong". People REALLY overrate the comics when comparing it to the show, the comics also had plenty of its own issues.

      Another crazy part is if you read the walking dead novels. The Governor is nothing like the tyrant he becomes later. In fact, it was his brother that was the tyrant in their group
      *Spoilers for the novels*
      After the death of Brian's (the governor) brother Philip. Brian goes into a deep depresion. After a General kills a woodbury mechanic and puts new laws in the town, Brian has an out of body experience where he imagines what would his younger brother do. He goes behind the General and empties his entire magazine on General's head. When asked about his name, he gives his dead brother's name and later on takes on his identity. All his actions is him doing what he thinks his brother would do. The only moments when he snaps out of them is when Michonne is torturing him or when he caused a baby to die.

      Animation would fit TWD so well. But I doubt it'll ever happen with AMC. Animation would allow for more action. I definitely would want them to stick far closer to the comics. Although I wouldn't be against of some of the more positive TV elements being added in tho, like Darryl.
      Also fleshing out the heavily rushed vibes of the first couple volumes would be appreciated. And having the Shane vs Rick story to last a little longer would be better.

    He became their cash cow & stole arcs & scenes from TONS of comic characters & it ruined their arcs as a result.

    I’ve seen the entire show but never read the comics, and I never knew that the comics are seemingly a lot more … traumatic? Like the show is horrific ofc but they have so many more moments of hopelessness in the comics than in the show.
    But I really liked your interpretation about how the entire story is leading to ricks (and the audiences’) revelation about how people’s death isn’t their “end”. They live on far after, in the things they did and the people they touched. It’s a simple but beautiful sentiment that I feel was lost in the show’s version of the story.
    Great video man!

      Besides that, I think the show is just as if not more disturbing. The terminus/cannibals arc is much more gruesome in the show than in the comics, Rick is far more ruthless in the show than he is in the comics, he straight up murders people in cold blood almost as an indulgence, Negan and the saviours are alot more evil in the show than in the comics, he psychologically torments Rick and mentally broke him, he literally burned a doctor alive for no reason,the saviours straight up slaughter entire communities for no reason etc.

  • @carlodelavera9735

    I think the reason Glenn’s death works so well in the comics but not in the show is the way they portrayed it in live action. It was very slow and heavy, saviors cornering the group since the previous episode. Not to mention they killed off 2 major characters not just one, again it felt like it dragged on and on and it was such heavy content the mind gets numb.
    In the comic it was an out of nowhere surprise and it was so quick you couldn’t fully register and by the time it let’s you take a breath it’s all done and there’s no way back. There was a build up to the saviors but the actual attack and introduction happened in one issue. And as someone who got to read this as issues were coming out it was waaay better than seeing it on tv. Specially after the god awful cliffhanger.

    • @nani4249

      Both are good, the shows is supposed to be slow and momentum event that changes the course of the entire story, most battles and event up till them were quick but now you have negan to slow down everything it builds tension and shows ricks slowly breaking down, that's the reason negan wants to break them down and he couldn't just get in there and then back out as quick as possible he knows these people have experienced that so he takes a different approach.
      Saying the comics is better because it's quick, and being left over with a cliff hanger I'd say isn't a bad thing, the comics do this all the time

    The TV show somehow makes you spend more time watching it, by stretching the plots a lot, and it doesn't really does the deep dive into the conflicts and antagonists. It is actually more focused on shock value than substance.
    Another TWD media I would recommend are the Telltale games. There are 4 main games (called Seasons), 1 DLC (not indispensable, but it's a good addition), and two Michonne games I believe (Honestly, unless very interested in her character, you can skip these).
    The games focus on another great character's story. Without spoiling, I would say it follows faithfully the themes and message of the comics (btw, the games are canon to the comic universe).

    I imagine seeing Negan & Maggie on a show together is confusing if you stopped at the end of S7…they really do a good job building up that dynamic after the whisperer arc imo in the show…I highly recommend pushing through because S9 thru the end wasn’t nearly as hard to watch as S8

    • @Kenny-fb6vu
      @Kenny-fb6vu 3 місяці тому

      Honestly, Negan was still very much alive. After the events of issue 174, Negan completely shielded away from everyone else for the rest of his life, including Carl. He even appears on the last panels of issue 193 mourning Lucille in her grave.

  • @Bong_Ripper
    @Bong_Ripper 8 місяців тому +1

    I think negan staying alive is more symbolic like he represented the brutality of the new world and when maggie let him live it was sort of a way that it didnt have to be that way he changed so maybe just maybe the world could too

    49:40 I always thought it if Rick sent him off, not forgiving him and still hating him but not wanting to punish him anymore (like he’s finished his sentence) and Maggie asks if Negans dead and Rick sort of fudges the truth and says something like, “he’s gone,” which is technically true but not the right message. I don’t know, someone tell me what you think.

    I been wondering the same thing. Now if what Beale said was to be true. I think he mentioned it’s mutating and the walkers carry other disease’s too. Maybe the reunion end game will be the super walkers start coming and the true villain will the massive herds. With the true final ending being the dead vs the living? Plus with all these time jumps. They’ll be 10 to 20 years ahead of us in real time.( it’s a cheap way to keep the fan favorite characters without them getting to old) he really needs to stop the time jumping though. That’s one aspect they really messed up with. It was ok to get up to the year we are in but that’s it.

    watching Glenn die, then Carl, then watching Rick, Michonne, Dwight, and Morgan leave, watching Gabriel and Negan have unrealistic character changes, and turning Carol into some boring non-character completely turned me off from the show. I mean just doing those things alone made the show shitty. it isn't just the writing. Because how good could your writing be and how interesting is it if you have characters like Eugene, Rosita, Judith, Enid, Tara, Aaron, and Gabriel outlive most of the more interesting characters, while being left with only 3 or 4 of those interesting characters who end becoming poorly written.
    now here is an issue i have with both the comic/telltale universe and the show universe. the zombie virus doesnt make any sense. and having the big reveal that "everyone is infected" is a bit stupid. if everyone is infected, how come a bite and "scratch" (in quotes because we never actually see anyone turn from a scratch, despite people saying it causes people to turn) kills you and makes you turn? i heard it's because it causes an infection and some have even theorized that the virus would wait for the immune system to focus on other pathogens or become weakened to take effect. almost like some kinda ambush virus. but that still wouldn't explain how some people survived that whole ebola outbreak in the prison, which seemed much worse than what salmonella and ecoli can do to you. even if that never happened, i'm pretty sure if a bite infects you, so would rubbing zombie guts all over you (like what Carol did in season 5), or wearing zombie skin (like the Whisperers) would also infect you.
    in my opinion that's the only major issue i have with the comics and its universe. the show also has many other issues like the one i stated in the first paragraph. i feel like the show did some things better. they made characters like Glenn a lot more interesting and less static (since he pretty much never really changes in the comics). I think Daryl and Merle are, for the most part, awesome characters and its hard to imagine the early seasons of the show without the two. but making Carl this cringy emo moron in the later seasons of the show, and having the terrible dead-end story lines and the over-saturation of random and useless characters completely turned me off to the show and unable to ever consider it amongst the best shows ever made, unlike some people.

    There are definitely some aspects of the comics that were written better than the show, but I think overall I like the show more, because it doesn’t lean as heavily into the gratuitous violence porn that Kirkman gets off on so much. By compendium three I was basically just rolling my eyes every time the newest “nasty thing” happened.

  • @Jose-se9pu
    @Jose-se9pu 7 місяців тому

    The ending was rushed and kinda bad, but I didnt mid because the last few years of the comic were pretty mediocre, the social commentary had become to obvious, and the story was trying to repeat All Out War over and over again, and it didnt work...so pulling off the plug was acceptable, imo.
    About your fears for Negan's redemption...the TV show pretty much did exactly that, no surprises, I guess.
