Yeah if Morales and his family didn't make the decision of staying in the old camp in season after a horde of walkers attacked while Rick, Daryl, Glenn and T-Dog went out looking for Merle and Rick's bag of guns and ammo, he wouldn't be this way.
I have a theory that Daryl was watching them, respecting Rick's attempt in trying to pacify their old friend until he realized there's nothing left to save. It would've been either Morales or Rick walking out of that room at that point.
I think so too. When rick suddenly started talking fast and nearly pleading with Morales he probably saw Daryl behind and tried to convince him not to kill him.
Daryl went to a "dark place" during the savior war, i doubt he thought to much of it right there and then. Maybe he did later, but during the war, he was ice cold.
@@Ken-Mortenafter Glenn was killed, definitely set the tone, sympathy will get you killed when dealing with saviors💀…heck having a heart in general got Carl’s ticket punched…
If you watch the episode again at the beginning it shows a close up on everyones face and on daryls its like hes listening to rick and morales talking so i think your right buddy
Yup last i check they decided to go to Birmingham despite the group not liking the idea. An after that whole mess Morales didn't even make an attempt to find Ricks people at the CDC or any nearby town. The Guy just gave up until Negan found him instead.
Yeah I’m just gonna chalk it up to really ass writing they did not care probably just got annoyed about people asking about the character so they just wanted to kill him off
you miss the point. Negan was his family.. not Rick's group.. and Rick was going around killing saviors..his family. He wasnt blaming Rick for the consequences of him choosing to leave the group. he was just protecting his own group (saviors)
@@itsdk5814 but he does.. he talks about being lost and giving up before the saviors found him and took him in. He says "so yea now I am Negan" meaning he is part of that group. And he goes on and talks about only knowing Rick for a few days also signaling that he doesnt feel he owes rick anything. Again Rick company was going around killing saviors. Morales said that if rick had the gun he wouldve been dead already.. He knows its Rick's group that is going around killing people in his new group. You dont need to be even smart to figure this out.
I don’t think Morales would’ve killed Rick. If Morales was going to kill Rick he would’ve done it already. Daryl just wasn’t going to take any chances. When Rick mentions Morales family his expression softens and he lowers his gun.
@@Odysseus1999nah Negan gave the saviors specific orders that he wanted Rick, Maggie and Ezekiel captured and not killed. He wanted that pleasure himself so I’m sure morales was getting ready to find a moment to knock Rick out w/ the gun.
Rick definitely has a soft spot for people he knew in his past! It's not like him and Morales were lifelong friends, they only knew each other for a few days and a lot has changed since then. If Morales was anybody else, Rick wouldn't have hesitated in killing him one bit!
They could have used Morales for a few episodes, give us his perspective on how the Saviors work and why they are better. Enough to challenge Rick point of view, before he gets killed in the war.
Man’s villain rant made no sense either. “Hi insignificant person whom I haven’t talked to in years who’s personal life I distinctly remember, I’m crazy now prepare to die”
It's not really a fanservice. The point is because they shared the same camp that doesn't mean they would end up the same or at least be reasonable enough to talk. This kind of thing happened on other groups so it makes sense, the thing is it turned up against the protagonist group. Morales was never friends with Rick to start with too. They wanted to show how far gone has Rick and his group gone, bc if Darly didn't do it Rick would
An Morales and his family made the decision to separate despite the fact Rick and the others have there misgivings about breaking off. An that ultimately led to Morales losing his family. How was that Ricks fault? and how was Rick suppose to know someone they knew, sometime back is a member of a group that's been terrorizing people all over.
Because Rick was the bad guy to the saviours and so was his group in their eyes they brutally massacred loved ones and friends in their sleep, attacked them out of the blue so yeah the savours saw Rick as the bad guy just like Rick and his group saw them as the bad guys
@@LycanThrobe77 Rick and co. didn't attack the Saviors "out of the blue". The Saviours were the ones marching around extorting communities and killing random people for their own benefit. Daryl, Sasha and Abraham were nearly killed by them first on multiple occasions in episode 6 and 9 iirc. Then the group found out about how Negan had brutally murdered a 16 year old at Hilltop and was basically enslaving the community. Attacking the satellite outpost in their sleep was nothing compared to what the saviors had done.

People rag on this scene but I like it. It puts forward a narrative that the apocalypse broke Morales. The saviors twisted his already broken mind, taking advantage of a vulnerable man who just lost his family.
Its crazy to think that at the point when Rick & Daryl met Morales working for Negan, it's just them 3 and Carol at that point who were the only survivors from the original Atlanta group
I remember when he returned, and I said: "HEY! It's.....DUDE!" Even the writers knew it, they had to have Rick LITERALLY and VERBALLY confirm who "Dude" was, and where he came from.
Because he was a meme of the hardcore fan base. No casual viewer remembered him. I have 2 examples of that with my mom and girlfriend who had no idea who he was
@aalstraatgang5827 Maybe he would've stayed with the group until Rick pointed him and his family in the right direction let's say...Before The Governor fucked everything up at the Prison Rick and Them was hold up in...Maybe he and his family would've found Alexandria...But that's all in in my head...He's dead now...He lost everything, including his life...🫤
pretty sure Morales whole family would’ve died either way… from the farm being overrun, to the prison going through 2 wars and a deadly sickness, and then dealing with the wolves in alexandria aswell as the horde, it’d be a damn miracle if him and his young kids survived
Exactly. They chose a city very likely filled with large amounts of walkers instead of an actual government prepared building that might've contained a cure
I remember being already burned out by S5, giving S6 a chance, trudging through S7, and all my interest in the show was basically gone by S8. When I saw Morales come back after all the memes, listen to his story which amounted to nothing, and then get killed off like 5 minutes after, that sealed the deal for me that the good writing was gone or if there ever was any. I would hear from others how the story continued to go and holy hell did I not miss much after.
@@exiledhebrew1994Beth did not know Dawns gun was loaded so it’s not her fault. She was trying to save Noah b/c Beth knew if Dawn lived and Rick and CO took Beth back but left Noah.

Why are people so pissed about morales?? This guy was never a major character. Idk why so many of you loved to pretend that he was such an important character when he wasn’t
Because he was part of the OG group even if it was only for a couple of episodes. Not to mention him, Rick, Carol, and Daryl were the only ones that were still alive of that group. So yeah bringing him back 7 seasons later just to kill him off immediately seemed ridiculous.
I totally agree with you...i had to ask my daughter sitting beside me "who's he" lol I think Daryl stepped up because it was a kill or be killed situation...dozy hole Rick was a bit slow there 😂😂😂😂
Yeah i just, dont vibe with how anyone from the saviors has to be a evil person. Morales being in means oh yeah hes completely loyal to them, but then we introduce alden as the singular exception anyway! I can enjoy season 7 and 8 but hoo, that’s not a aspect i like
Alden isn't the only savior that turned good. Laura was a top lieutenant of Negan's and she was brutally killed by Beta because she tried to protect a member of our group from him. There weren't many, but there were a few saviors who turned good not just Alden. And of course there's Dwight.
@@BrandonFlint-ro2ns "turned good" isn't the right thing to say. If we were watching the show from other perpective, we would find Rick's group as the evil villain because let's face it - Rick and others killed people in their sleep regardles of who they were. We're soft for Rick because we follow him from the start. He's a great character but he's flawed as much as Negan was at that time.
@@breakingmiraino one in the TWD universe is good well maybe Hershel and Eastman, Judith, RJ and Tyreese but Rick and CO were villains to other groups. We were just conditioned to root for Rick and co from the moment we meet Rick and the rest of the group.
Why do either one of these people remember each other in such great detail? I completely phased out during this scene and missed out on the fact it was a cameo
Man, season 1 was still the peak of this show imo. It just had a different vibe than the rest of the series and felt deeper than most zombie apocalypse stuff.
That's probably because Frank Darabont was the show-runner for the first season. He got fired and was replaced by Glen Mazzara for seasons 2-3. Mazzara left and was then replaced by Scott M. Gimple for seasons 4-8, which was the point where A LOT of people dropped off of the show. Finally, Angela Kang took over for seasons 9-11 after Gimple was promoted to the role of Chief Content Officer for the franchise.
Season 8 sucks fat balls and I remember hating this scene when it came out but rewatching it I kinda like how cold it is that Daryl just takes him out and doesn’t care about the prior connection lol
If I had a nickle for every member of the Atlanta group, eventually sided with the enemy, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
this scene actually reminds me a lot of Rick in TOWL . which now makes this scene not to bad but i think it would have still been cool to have morales back for at least season 8
Idk if it's just me, but I don't find the guy who plays Morales to be a really good actor! I can't help but laugh a little with the way he confronts Rick with his gun lol.
He is holding his pistol like a teacup which provides absolutely no recoil mitigation at all. If he’s been alive for that long he should very well know the proper way to handle a firearm.
Damn i wish he would’ve lost respect for Negan and joined them. Especially considering there could’ve been a plot about how negan stole his wife from him to keep as one of his many wives
I think Morales turning evil is because since hes not exactly a main character that they need to let us know what he has been up to and close the book on his chapter by killing him off for being a traitorous broken idiot that I am sure nobody will miss after what he has become
And the series kills him off like an idiot when they could've made him be part of the mostly Latino characters in the spin off Fear The Walking Dead. Again poor writing done...
@@MrRepoman197 Why didn't they just say "Its up to peoples interpretation, of what happened too him and his family" and leave it at that as they have no intentions of bringing him back.
Excellent. Good idea. Let’s put all the brown people together! 🎉 quit being like that. Morales wasn’t a good character. He was an afterthought. Holy shit no wonder the walking dead took such a downturn. They read stuff from people like you.
It was all fan service. Fans had wanted Morales to return for YEARS, and I feel like this was done just to satisfy the desire so they can stop hearing about it LOL
@@DeadX2 Morales made it clear he had turned after losing his family, with Rick insisting he had 'lost people too' and listing some of those killed, ending with Glenn Rhee. 'Negan killed him,' he told him. 'Forced him to his knees, bashed his head in right in front of me, in front of his pregnant wife. She's the widow.'
Waste of a good character arc. Part of the reason I left the show was the writing started to seem so lazy and repetitive. Why not explore Morales' story deeper? It's like the only way they knew to move compel an audience anymore was to kill off characters.
Who the hell cares? I remember this episode when it aired and how it was hyped. What a nothingburger of a character. If he wasn't a latino, no fuss about him would even have been made. He was completely forgettable when he was hanging around in the early episodes.
The hype was because nobody had forgotten him and because it was a long running joke about what happened to him considering he's literally the only character to ever be a part of the main group and just vanish without being confirmed dead. Nothing to do with him being Latino or one thinking he was a good character
@markbrowning4334 I think it was done basiclaly to shut fans up constantly asking "where's morales" at every single convention/Q&A/ all day on socal media. Tbh I think it was quite effective. People who complain say his "arc" was wasted when the arc was literally just the same arc as literally any other saviour
@willbaker6532 Please tell me you're kidding. There was actually a large group of fans demanding more of that nothingburger? I only read the first two issues of the graphic novel. Was this Morales goober more of a character in the novel or something? Because he was incredibly forgettable in the series to me. If they hadn't hyped his return and made that episode an event, I would not have even recognized him. He literally looked like every other savior not named Negan. And I never questioned the survival or demise of any character that didn't run with Rick's group. I just assumed they didn't make it or they found a way to live their best life somewhere not on camera. And that was good enough for me.
The craziest thing about this is that the atlanta group had 2 characters who served the governor and negan

Which episode does morales say that
season 1 episode 5
That vehicle behind the rv as they leave, is that the same vehicle from the Mist?
what's the point of bringing a character from 7 years ago back to life only to kill him after 3 minutes?
He returned!
next episode
and now he dead
lol, Morales didn't change his hair
I think Morales turning evil is because since hes not exactly a main character that they need to let us know what he has been up to and close the book on his chapter by killing him off for being a traitorous broken idiot that I am sure nobody will miss after what he has become
Was he wrong though, officer friendly died a long damn time ago even though rick didn’t
Was that a picture of his family? Is that how Rick knew immediately?
It don't matter one little bit
What a waste, bring him back after all that time just to kill him in two minutes.
His cameo was so pointless it reminded me of snoke
Back when the walking dead was good
Bringing back an old character from the first season and stupidly killing him is a complete disgrace!
Yeah, like if they wanted to kill him off that fast, at least make it memorable
Lol why would they bring him back for a scene just to kill him? That seems like a waste. They should've given him atleast a full episode
And the series kills him off like an idiot when they could've made him be part of the mostly Latino characters in the spin off Fear The Walking Dead. Again poor writing done...
Your complaining about something that nobody asked for, something unnecessary your really idiotic aren't ya
Yup they killed him just to shut the fans asking about him up.
@@MrRepoman197 Why didn't they just say "Its up to peoples interpretation, of what happened too him and his family" and leave it at that as they have no intentions of bringing him back.
@@silentecho92able cause it's the walking dead. In the walking dead unless we see a character die we don't know what happened to them.
Excellent. Good idea. Let’s put all the brown people together! 🎉 quit being like that. Morales wasn’t a good character. He was an afterthought. Holy shit no wonder the walking dead took such a downturn. They read stuff from people like you.
Most random ass return ever
It was all fan service. Fans had wanted Morales to return for YEARS, and I feel like this was done just to satisfy the desire so they can stop hearing about it LOL
I love this show
how many ads are in these 8 min video
I hate Daryl for this.
What happened to his family
wasted potential they brought morales just to shut down the memes cuz kirkman grew tired of it
Wasted Potential
Morales was really useless in season 1!!! Morales is still useless 8 seasons after!!! Don't be a Morales
What a waste, they could have made more wirh this character
Negan killed Glenn. Negan didn't kill Lori, Shane, Andrea.
Rick never said Negan killed them all. He said, "Negan killed him"
@@norbertovalladares3870he said them lol
@@DeadX2 Morales made it clear he had turned after losing his family, with Rick insisting he had 'lost people too' and listing some of those killed, ending with Glenn Rhee.
'Negan killed him,' he told him. 'Forced him to his knees, bashed his head in right in front of me, in front of his pregnant wife. She's the widow.'
Rick is definitely MAGA
One of the dumbest things they’ve done in the show 😂😂
This season was straight dog water, even looking back.
Waste of a good character arc. Part of the reason I left the show was the writing started to seem so lazy and repetitive. Why not explore Morales' story deeper? It's like the only way they knew to move compel an audience anymore was to kill off characters.

Who the hell cares?
I remember this episode when it aired and how it was hyped.
What a nothingburger of a character. If he wasn't a latino, no fuss about him would even have been made.
He was completely forgettable when he was hanging around in the early episodes.
The hype was because nobody had forgotten him and because it was a long running joke about what happened to him considering he's literally the only character to ever be a part of the main group and just vanish without being confirmed dead. Nothing to do with him being Latino or one thinking he was a good character
@willbaker6532 If that's true, then that was the flattest falling joke ever told.
@markbrowning4334 I think it was done basiclaly to shut fans up constantly asking "where's morales" at every single convention/Q&A/ all day on socal media.
Tbh I think it was quite effective. People who complain say his "arc" was wasted when the arc was literally just the same arc as literally any other saviour
@willbaker6532 Please tell me you're kidding.
There was actually a large group of fans demanding more of that nothingburger?
I only read the first two issues of the graphic novel. Was this Morales goober more of a character in the novel or something? Because he was incredibly forgettable in the series to me.
If they hadn't hyped his return and made that episode an event, I would not have even recognized him. He literally looked like every other savior not named Negan.
And I never questioned the survival or demise of any character that didn't run with Rick's group. I just assumed they didn't make it or they found a way to live their best life somewhere not on camera. And that was good enough for me.
What garbage character nobody even cared about, show is so dumb
Negan did nothing wrong
