Beep boop I am a computer beep boop I cannot understand that one of the principal members of the core group of characters getting gruesomely killed while the others are forced to watch causes some people to be more emotional than similar things happening to some random extras that just walked up beep boop your receipt is ready below please pick it up shutting down beep boop click.

The concept of a principal character or group of characters that people care about or even identify with seems to be totally foreign to some people here. I guess these people would be about as indifferent to their close family or themselves getting killed as one Goomba to another getting jumped on by Mario. Or they didn't buy into this show, which is totally fine, but it's still not exactly hard to figure out that IF someone is into this show, then what happened and HOW was kinda a big deal.

It's like me posting "I don't get why there's 22 people after this weird looking ball when could just buy one for themselves" about an NFL game.

You made a post about the gore not being unparalleled, and after someone explained why that's not a good argument here, in the next one you added "Sure, the circumstances..." and went right back to the previous argument, which is completely pointless because it's very easy to understand why fans may be upset.

I get your perspective and that of many others here, I just don't think complete detachment it's a particularly deep insight that gives someone some kind of high ground. I don't care about spectator sports at all, but I don't feel enlightened by it or bemused to tell, I don't know, baseball fans that I wouldn't care if the world's best team got hit by a meteor or something because people get hit by meteors all the time.

I like how Glenn's death scene was taken pretty much verbatim from the comic except they gave Negan an extra line to add an extra 30 seconds or so of Glenn mumbling while his eye is hanging out to really drive the point home or something?

That makeup ain't free ya know. Besides, they had to pad out a 45 minute episode to an hour 20 and every little bit helps.

Though, if I've learned anything from BSG it's that late season lackluster openings usually means bitchin cg fight scenes later, so there's hope.

TBH, I'm pretty much planning on watching only Negan scenes on youtube for this season. And if they add up to something interesting, it's back to watching the whole show. If not, then at least I'll have fun watching him just straight up enjoy the sound of his own voice as he stomps on the regulars.

it's exactly where I'm drawing it. the bodies of zombies at least had muscles and a skeleton, and don't need to breathe or have blood flow cause they're dead, but babies don't have teeth for a good 3-4 months.

I can't believe how butthurt people were about the best episode in nearly half a decade. If not the show's entire history.

Plus, "What's Glen's favorite restaurant?" got a longtime friend of mine who kept upvoting "boycott twd, you went too far" poo poo posts to call me an rear end in a top hat and block me on facebook. This person posts legit gore videos, of the medical kind, on facebook constantly. Because they work in a medical field even though the videos are completely unrelated to their job and contain far more gore than TWD.

The episode still kinda sucked in some ways, mostly in a real situation it likely would have gone down differently and for some reason rick always suffer from some degree of psychosis in every season and maggie's response was dumb as poo poo and TWD as usual, but it was significantly better than other episodes and overall satisfying. I mean yeah, the show lost two good characters and kept some bad ones, but I like when negative things happen in shows just as much as when positive things do.

Probably meant that in regards to the 'best' episode, not the 'butthurt' part. Though I do know some viewers were like 'Who the gently caress?!' at the Morgan reveal. I know my dad texted me asking if we were supposed to know who that was. Of course, after the MSF in S4, he at one point asked me 'Where's Hershel?' so his TV watching memory is no good.

You should probably know at least a little bit of biology if you're going to base some inane criticism on it.

Babies do have teeth well before they are born, they're just not erupted from the gums and muscles don't work without respiration (among many other things). Some babies are actually born with a few erupted teeth (usually on the lower jaw), and all else being equal it's more believable that zombie baby's gums would deteriorate, exposing its teeth, than it is the zombie baby would actually be able to contract its jaw muscles.

tl;dr drop this retarded argument please

I couldn't get it to spoiler properly and it isn't an image some people would want on their screen at work. It's the scene's uncensored audio from the bluray done in time to a backdrop of the comic images that are coloured in. I hadn't realised how spot on most of the dialog was (minus the swearing ofc) because it had been so long since I read that part.

I don't think people cared that much about the gore, if they did they would've checked out long ago or would be arguing more about the zombo getting its head rip off with Rick hanging on. It the was stuttering and the long wait while he tried and eventually succeeded getting a sentence out all while being mocked that probably pushed people over the edge.

This show had some good high points its easy to forget its based on a lovely uninventive comic book adapted by hacks who work(ed) for AMC. To be fair, look at the esteemed Executive Producer's pedegree:
