      When you think about it characters like Tyrese Abraham and Jesus who served as the lancer to ricks hero at different times in the comics get shafted somewhat in the show because Daryl’s always there to be the lancer, and I’m honestly not sure which one I prefer

      Thank you! I do agree the show develops the characters much better than the comics. Especially Maggie and Hershel. I think a big reason for that is the writing of dialogue, it’s so well done in those seasons

      I'm pretty sure most of the events in Season 1 of the game take place before Issue 1 of the comics.
      Kirkman originally intended for the outbreak to take place in October 2003. However, when Episode 4 of Season 1 came out, Lee found one of the security tapes in Crawford to be from October, and when he watches it, the doctor on the tape says that it's been eighty-two days since the outbreak. This means the outbreak took place on July 19th. Season 1 of the game ends three months after the outbreak, most likely in November. The first volume of the comics only spans over less than a month and ends on Christmas Eve, at least if Andrea was accurately keeping track of the days.

    Absolutely loving your channel! A proper TWD goldmine and treat. Thank you. I'm finally catching up with the tv shows and I'm somewhat depressed now. I refused to watch the last 3 episodes of Season 11 until last week, with them obviously being aired around 2 years ago. My logic behind that was, the Show had never actually ended for me. However, I'd finished S8 of Fear, a couple of months ago and I watched World Beyond S 1/2 when they became available in the UK. I have recently watched The Ones Who Live and Daryl S1, as they have only just arrived on UK subscription tv here, as well. This has left only Dead City for me to watch, which arrived here a couple of days ago, but I'm definitely sad about pretty much finishing everything off. I've only recently become aware of Tales, so I'm looking forward to that as well, but this channel is keeping the Dead, alive for me!

    I’m so glad you’re covering the comics, I’ve loved your channel for the show but the comics have always been my preferred version of the walking dead.
    However of course, this part of the comics shows where it lacks and where the tv show does better.
    Honestly I would love to see an animated version of the walking dead combing both the best aspects from the comics and tv show into one for what I would think would be the perfect version of this story.
    Can you imagine, keeping some show characters, but killing others off. Fleshing out comic characters that were gone too quickly, etc etc. I just think it would be incredible.

    Once again, the show and the comics have their plusses and minuses. I enjoyed the drawn out farm storyline in the show, as is sussed out the characters more. A lot of people didn't, as they felt the show dragged. The show also delved deeper into the moral dilemmas faced by the group. I would say at this time, I much prefer the show arcs over the comics, but that would change significantly as we went along. After the Saviors/Whispers story arcs, the comics seemed to have it much more together than the show.

  • @mint_corset
    @mint_corset 5 місяців тому +2

    I actually much prefer the comic and never felt like parts were missing. I say that as someone that actually really hated the show version. I really think the shortened version felt appropriate with the amount of time spent at the farm.
    In another comment I see you mention you felt like the kids are just added to die later, but hey actually end up serving as a vital purpose for the group to truly understand what the virus is. I'm sorry if this feels like a spoiler to anyone, but the later deaths are the first time the group confirms that the virus makes everyone turn after death, not just those who are bitten. With the CDC taken out of the comics I feel like the added context of existing to die morbidly makes sense and isn't a negative decision.

    • @Swell-Films
      @Swell-Films  5 місяців тому +1

      That’s fair, I think it just comes down to preference. I probably wouldn’t feel that way about the comic version if I hadn’t seen the show first.
      However I believe the Chris and Julie moment is what causes rick to speed off back to the Atlanta camp for Shane as julie turns from the gunshot, Rachel and Susie kinda just reaffirm what we already found out after Rick digs Shane up and puts him down

    • @mint_corset
      @mint_corset 5 місяців тому

      Some of it happens simultaneous. Also while I think about it, the situation with Rachel and Susie is the first time the group actually has to deal with an outsider that causes harm. Other than Shane, which is considered as a man just having a mental breaking point from the POV of the rest of the group, it's the first time they have to deal with someone who's just point blank a monster. It also leads to Rick's hand issue.
      I only just recently started reading the comic because my bf has Compendium One so this is fresh reading for me after years of not really being involved in TWD as a whole. I do like your channel because I would say binging your stuff is why I even decided to read the comic lol. I'm glad to see any perspective on it (other than my own) instead of just consuming it in a bubble! :)

    • @mint_corset
      @mint_corset 5 місяців тому

      As someone that's also read the comics, I cannot stress how overrun the neighborhood was. They also had been running low on food, tired, and getting very hungry by the time they found the neighborhood. I think it's easy to say they should have lured them all out and then fight but them leaving was the safest decision and led to the least amount of risk.
      Clearing out the neighborhood on their own while luring the zombies out also would require them hoping that no horde comes up behind them and enclose them either.

    • @Swell-Films
      @Swell-Films  5 місяців тому +2

      Probably a mixture of inexperience with the dead, lack of energy from no food, and general shock from Donna’s death.
      Although it’s weird Rick is so confident at the end with the prison, so maybe they just figured it wasn’t secure enough to be worth it.
