He's extremely ridiculous. I was glad that a savior made him realize he was a fraud but yeah I feel ya. He has to play the "fake it until you make it card". But seriously, look at Carol's face in this video and when she first met him. She KNOWS its ridiculous because shes built from Ricks crew as a realist lol.
Ya'll jealous about Ezekiel cause he was everything that is mean to be right but no one on real life could ever be close to be that perfect being The worst part about it it's that anyone could've Ezekiel without a zombie apocalypse or Any kind of fictional history sh1t,people simply hate Ezekiel cause he managed to Survive without killing his tigress and in fact saving resources from trees,saving animals instead of eating them and Even making a trained army with real bullet proof suits and Even making a school and put familys toguether and trying to make they have the closiest thing to a normal life and Even being able to find a solution to avoid losing lifes of hundreds or they kidnapping or Even worse knowing how cruel saviors could be. He wasn't "ridiculous" just excentric King guy and he didn't realize anyhthing they just chanced the Best character and ruined him to be one of the rest "realist" people on rick's group
@@ELGATOX16yea ezekiel’s gimmick may have been ridiculous, but the guy possessed true leadership qualities nonetheless. This was an amazing even Oscar worthy performance.
I don't know anyone who thinks Ezekiel is ridiculous. It's called over the top acting in order to inspire both the characters and the audience. This guy is a beacon of hope. Until his tiger was devoured by zombies, his belief in mankind's goodness and resourcefullness was something we should see more.
Gotta love the man "who built a kingdom in the apocalypse". Such a great character played by a magnificent actor. Negan had no chance against a man who supported Solid Snake in his last mission
"We face dire challenge and chance. Our lives... our way of life... it hangs in the balance, a fragile glass standing on a wire, high above the asphalt, as we pray for not one drop of rain under an overcast sky. And yet, I smile. We will fight, and we will bleed... and yet I smile. We shall face men, some cornered into their roles by circumstance, some desperate murderers thrilled by blood. We shall end them all. As is our charge this day. As is our sorrow. And yet, I smile. We will leave our loved ones... to traverse a dangerous road. Rushing out of peace into war. And yet, I smile. For we will mine glory from the rock of struggle this day. We will honor and protect this... this bastion of life in a land of the dead, and we will win. You trust the king... we will win. I smile... I laugh... I rejoice this day... for on this day, we are joined in purpose and vision... we are of a singular heart and mind. On this day, we are one! We are one! We are one! We are one! We are one! We are one!"
I've been thinking about a girl I saw. She's a child, living with and facing cancer. She's suffered unbearable pain and suffering. And I just remembered her smile. I just remembered it, I guess because I've been thinking about her. I don't know how she has the strength to smile, but she still does it. Anyway, it reminded me of this, so I wound up here. That girls' attitude is so Ezekiel.
This is why King Ezekiel is one of my favorite characters in TWD. I love the actor too, Khary Peyton, i wanna see all his work from now on. Chad Coleman too (RIP Tyrese, love ya buddy!!!)
Chad Coleman is one of the greatest actors of his generation. The late Scott Wilson (Hershel Greene/"Daddy") thought so. And he would know, as Scott Wilson was one of the greatest actors of his gen too!!!! RIP you fucking mench!
It might be stupid but i got a happier mindset since this speech bc whenever i feel like shit sucks in life i think back and say maybe it was the worst day i had in a while, and yet i smile…
When I’m having a depressive episode. Or bad things happen one after the other. I always say ‘and yet I smile’ and this is literally one of my favorite speeches in the show 🥹
Ezekiel "Khary Payton" is such a great performer. I never get tired of listening to the "yet i smile" scene... it's like a person's favourite songs or verses, even when repeated, it still sounds great.
People thing he's ridiculous but I'd serve under him. He could have gone crazy, he could have become a cold blooded killer. But no, he choose an option few would take. And he'll be remembered for that. KING EZEKIEL
I finally understand the hardship of finally being able to genuinely smile, for no other reason than appreciating life... After a long long struggle, I finally get, I can finally smile at anytime ❤️☺️
If i was to meet my end in a land of the dead, i would want to do so fighting by Ezekiel's side. If i were a character in the show, i would give my life so that he could continue to help lead future generations to a better tomorrow!!!
Far as I’m concerned, this is the definitive speech of TWD. I’m mentally including the scene just before this, where, with respect, an ‘everyday nobody’ takes it upon himself to transform into an individual, a leader, whose got the weight of the world on his shoulders. . .and knows those shoulders mustn’t crack. So when he steps outside and launches forth the above words, I find myself crushed in the gravity of the aftermath.
Winning over a crowd seems like such a trivial, unimportant skill when faced with your typical zombie apocalypse scenario; but this clip proves it's importance. Sure, individually, you might not be able to back any of that shit you just said up, BUT if you manage to convince 29 other people of what you just said, you can do accomplish great and terrible things. That, mostly, was the point of Ezekiel's character and I loves watching it unfold.
Always remember, your smile has the power to save a life. No matter what challenges you face, keep smiling. It may be just what someone who is thinking of giving up needs to keep going. Thank you Ezekiel. And yet I smile.
When I first saw Ezekiel I thought he was just another ruthless character like the Governor, but I was wrong, he's a guy who wants to live in peace that's why he avoids violence as much as possible to achieve peace, and that's leadership.
My iq is significantly, nay anomolously above average. Without being the one to disparage others over it.... Best moment, best character. You don't have to be smart to be brave and pure, but Ezekiel's damned smart. And also brave and pure. I'm not. I'm cowardly, like Eugene. And yet somehow? I smile.
All i know is i look at this n clip he said this to negan ad well in and it helps me get thru my day cause u face alot of shit in life and fact is u cant take my smile cause thru it all ill get to smile
I think if Khary Payton didnt play this role, Ezikiel's fate may have been the same as in the comic book. But he breathed a life into that role with his smile alone. And I don't remember the king having all that cake.😳
King ezekil would love my car Charlotte Charlotte is like a little shiva he would aslo love strongbow who walks like a tiger and he would love Ruby cat strongbows mum because Ruby is so motherly and I hope the king likes strongbow cider
Imagine if negan only killed abe but Glenn lived ik it'd be sad but I'd have all of season 7 in season 7 part 1 don't introduce the garbage ppl or ocean side just Alexandria hill top and kingdom vs saviors and have all out war in part 2 of season 7 I'd have Sasha still die but Tara instead of carl season 7 would be epic and scenes like this would have been better I'd end it with season 7 then do a trilogy 1st of peace and struggles becoming allies with the saviors 2nd would be our surviors vs the whispers third I'd have us fight a whole new group similar to the common wealth but not as big with rick dieing and having carl daryl michone judith etc in a big time jump

I know people say Ezekiel is ridiculous, but he has got such an energy about him that it's no surprise that all of these people are drawn to him.

This scene made Ezekiel one of my favourite characters
Ezikiel may have cancer and will die soon and I will probably cry
-yet I smile
Me to...
This episode in general for me.
This was Oscar worthy IMO. Leadership at its greatest. He won Carol’s heart right here.
Mine too ❤
"And yet, I smile." LONG LIVE THE KING!!
Gotta love the man "who built a kingdom in the apocalypse". Such a great character played by a magnificent actor. Negan had no chance against a man who supported Solid Snake in his last mission

Perfect casting
I always cry when i listen to his speech. This man is amazing. The best character in TWD series.
Definitely not. Cringe as hell. You must be about 13 if you think this speech is anything but cringe and shit acting.
@Maximilian Wikström because it's theatre acting and absolute cringe.

“WE ARE ONE” but yet I smile!! 😊
Still one of my favorite characters in TWD universe, along with Tyrese!!!!!
He's cool but way too corny
I finally understand the hardship of finally being able to genuinely smile, for no other reason than appreciating life... After a long long struggle, I finally get, I can finally smile at anytime ❤️☺️
I love Ezekiel and his " yet I smile" speeches.
Best speech ever
This is such a great speech delivered by a great actor!
That "yet I smile" like is my new favorite phrase.
Love this speech and the soundtrack.

I remember watching this live…..and I smiled
Ezekiel gets the Rick Grimes comic book death while he's giving a speech and yet I smile that would be a perfect ending💯✊👏
King 👑 for a reason
We love you Ezekiel 💝🛐
I actually teared up when this episode aired!!
The music is the same as the ending of episode 8 Heart still beating, so powerful. It gave another dimension to Ezekiel, more grounded and universal.
Yet i smile 😊
Long Live the King!!!
I love Ezekiel. He will always be my King.
I wouldve loved to meet this man and to call him king, its only right.
Always remember, your smile has the power to save a life. No matter what challenges you face, keep smiling. It may be just what someone who is thinking of giving up needs to keep going. Thank you Ezekiel. And yet I smile.
When I heard the music from 708 I had chills
I remember watching this and the machine gun out of no where scared the shit out of me
The theatrics in this one is strong. Well done
"As is our charge this day. As is our sorrow." What does that mean? Tis a moving speech.
It means this is something we must do even if we don’t want to
Underrated season
I love his theatrical dialogue
"We will mine glory from the rock of struggle this day" Now that's a line!😲
AND YET I SMILE
I like how the end scene is a remix of what Alexandrea does for Rick Post Whisperer War
We will fight and we will bleed, and yet I smile. BOOYAH!!!
He's like TWD Captain America or Optimus Prime
Ezekiel Goated
Carol just standing there🦧
Didn’t know that cyborg can give a good speech
That redhead man is turned on
this is my favorite walking dead speech
'"The Dead came for me- Yet I smile"
When I first saw Ezekiel I thought he was just another ruthless character like the Governor, but I was wrong, he's a guy who wants to live in peace that's why he avoids violence as much as possible to achieve peace, and that's leadership.
Greatest part of the Walking Dead in my opinion.
We will fight and we will bleed and yet i smile, literally getting that tatted
In 23 mins I’m gonna test for my black belt in karate, this was a great speech to listen to during the ride to the dojo

Try Rise Up from the walking dead
I keep forgetting that he voiced cyborg in teen Titans
Ezekiel could probably hype me up to do anything tbh
I think if Khary Payton didnt play this role, Ezikiel's fate may have been the same as in the comic book. But he breathed a life into that role with his smile alone. And I don't remember the king having all that cake.😳
Was this soundtrack used before? I think 6x9 when Rick Jessie and all the others get ready to walk past the army of walkers in Alexandria
Song name please
I appoint M. Khary Payton to be the high commissioner of the United Nations (ohchr) in 2023.
Cant believe this dude is cyborg from teen titans
The King used his voice in the series Young Justice Outsiders
Id run through a wall for king Ezekiel
And I smile
king
Hey look is KING 🤴 CYBORG
I know he plays an actor in the show when he leads the town, but isn’t that what every politician is doing anyway today?
This is my tattoo on my arm
2:00 that fucking “yeah!” os EASILY one of the cringiest lines in television history 😂😂😂😂
Technically ezekiel is actually a king
Song?
Really? All this crowd had in response to that whole speech was some half-assed “yeah!”?
BOO YAH!
Later that hour he cried 😂
Is khary payton voice cyborg in teen titans go series anyone here ?
