You have to appreciate how the lingering close-ups, long pauses and speaking slowly really drains all energy out of the show so you are half-way a sleep when the mandatory nonsensical fight scene rolls around. It's very normal for every member of a group to be sad and depressed for years without some gallows humor, someone trying to lighten the mood or blowing off some steam. I can identify with that and it makes me more invested in the characters. I hate this show so much.

Yeah, but when R&M kill everyone they just promised to save, the show is completely irredeemable if Rick says he did it "because it was funny." That's the other R&M show.

But you're right, irl Rick would be in it for the :lol:s at this point...

I wouldn't put too much effort into trying to figure out who it is from that.

I'm actually surprised they even bothered to put someone in the car, it's probably just a random person from the set.

Maybe that's actually the season ending Cliffhanger, just like when we almost saw someone get the bat. This time it's going to be a long slow close-ups of every character who could possibly be on the side of the road and it's going to take 30 minutes of the final episode.

lol I got banned from the walking dead reddit for that gif because I didn't mark it as a MAJOR SPOILER

The flashback to something we already knew she survived spoiled the whole drat show for some dweeb I guess. I never actually look there and when I did I saw that the first page was almost all tagged as spoilers

Like, the fact that Morgan and Rick knew each other in season 1 was considered a spoiler

Also the show sucks so who cares (idiots on Reddit do)

The only reason I post stuff there is on the off chance that Rick thinks it's really cool and contacts me to suck my dick

My dumbass opinions are only outweighed by my racism.

No one forgot that I exist to defend violent cops, champion chaining down immigrants, and have trash opinions on cooking.

Did anyone rewatch and figure out how he magically got pictures, a lit flare and a loaded gun while tied up with wire?

Edit: he was able to open and rummage through her suitcase?

Just chalking it up to anything is possible as long as the plot requires something to happen. The amount of times things have happened without the thing happening being shown are really adding up.

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.
So the gun, flare, and photos were in the suitcase I guess? Let's assume they were (because you can see the suitcase knocked over and maybe open in the wide angle shot). Negan moves away from the suitcase, and the fire first, he's very clearly edging toward the clearing basically. Then after an unknown amount of time off screen, he goes back to the suitcase, opens it and collects the gun, photos, and flare. Then he moves BACK to his starting location in the open where he originally was located. Places the photos on the ground, lights the flare, and readies the gun. All off camera, and within a single shot transition.

It seems like the directing and editing are being done by unpaid interns who studied accounting. Cause I don't even do EITHER of those jobs but I think I could know enough to make a scene that has some kind of continuity to it. Not to dig on accountants. In all likelihood they'd still do better.

That's the same baseball bat that's already bashed in multiple human skulls, countless zombies, spent a few hours soaking in blood, AND set on fire?!

It would be great if the next time Negan swings it, it snaps or splinters apart. drat bat's got stronger plot armour than the man carrying it.

I swore his arms were tied down but wasn't curious enough to brave another watch...Negan has Gumby arms I guess

Bonus points the flare extinguishes in water. Most flares are kinda designed not to do that, let alone instantly upon touching water

I thought maybe she'd dissolved the bat, and I just hadn't been paying attention so I'd missed it. This is the kinda show that doesn't really hold your attention all that well...

How much better would that scene of been if Roller Negan and Roller Zombie were just left in the junkyard in the world's most hilariously stupid zombie chase

The zombie constantly rolling after him unable to bite him and Negan constantly rolling around with his feet in an exciting 2 inches a second chase

ED: Aside from all the on screen stupid there's the undercurrent of stupid to.

We're supposed to feel bad for Jadis because her constant betrayals caught up with her. This is the woman who tried to feed Rick to a zombie for swinging by to ask for help until he beat them in a fist fight that needed the infamous Star Trek fight song over it

We're supposed to feel bad for Negan who keeps saying "people are a resource" right after telling Simon to give the 'standard reminder package' which involves bashing 1, 2 or more of their heads to paste in front of them all, so would have probably had Jadis head stomped in and not given a poo poo

Show'd been better if the helicopter said gently caress it and launched a missile at both of them

I don't think that is the case, but they are trying to award his way of operating in this world some understanding. Why people follow him, what his motivations for acting the way he does; he's fallen on a way of living that probably didn't start out as brutal as it is now, but he justifies its ends as a means for survival

You could take random clips of Rick's survivors being assholes, and piece them together into something that resembles them being villains, worthy of the absolute eradication they feel the Saviors deserve. Though Rick won't always advance-declare the executions of individuals like Negan does, he tends to find a way to get it done as effectively as the Saviors

We're just living with the fact that assholes tend to be the survivors in the post-apocolypse, but they're trying to give the characters some semblance of motivation for their actions. In Negan's case, they're just trying to remind the audience that he isn't a complete sociopath

Yeah, it's great when the show tries to humanize Negan but all it's got is that he's aware that he needs more functioning small businesses for his protection racket/slavery scheme to keep him living in luxury (which is - amazingly - enough for some viewers to buy into his junta's legitimacy).
