hawowanlawow posted:ok that was pretty bad but what skyline was Rick in front of? Looked like New York to me, which would be funny to lead Dead City and the Rick/Michonne spin-offs together. But it was a really quick shot, so hard to say. Ending was kind of meh. But at lest it was better than the comics ending, which if anyone read those here: Terribad.

This show is finally over. Good. I think everyone lost interest a long time ago and when I was reading the summaries of this season, it all seemed so boring and meandering like it didn't even know it was coming to an end.

Codependent Poster posted:like it didn't even know it was coming to an end. Because it didn't. They got cancelled mid-filming season 11, which is why they had to scramble the back half (and as a viewer since day 1: they flubbed that by meandering with the plot until these final two episodes) to a conclusion instead of keeping the "reapers" they were setting Maggie's write-in back (after Whiskey Tango or whatever flopped) up with.

The comics ending was a natural stopping point to put at the end of the narrative line, that resolved the major conflict and reflected on what came before. This is something they threw together to tie up whatever Calvin ball shenanigans they've been running on for last near decade.

This is something they threw together to tie up whatever Calvin ball shenanigans they've been running on for last near decade. Nah, the comic ending was abrupt as hell. Let's be honest, here. Kirkman got tired of writing for the series (which is fine), had fake issue covers made (which is ok as a fake out) and ended the series with no actual proper conclusions beyond "Rick dies, becomes a 'god'/savior, Carl connects the world [but we don't really see this or know this is coming], and get 2-3 different time jumps to get this ending." It's not a good ending, personally speaking, because it has no proper set-up. Rick finishes the Commonwealth's bullshit, gets shot in retaliation, the kid (who dies in the show) is jailed like Negan was, and then we get time-skipped with no actual impacts from being at the Commonwealth. Hell, Princess isn't even seen again after breaking up with Mercer in the comics (something the TV show thankfully rectifies with a somewhat funny breaking-out-of-jail scene). It's like "why would you introduce this character and then do nothing with her?" Was it a "good stopping point?" We could debate the merits with how (post-time-skip) the nation/etc. is reunited and if that is good or bad. But personally, I'm talking about how Kirkman basically rushed the entire thing out to just be finished with the series.

And none of that matters because this show is even worse. Like you can make a million more points about all the problems you had with the comic, and I won't even fight the ones that just factually wrong. I'd let them all stand. The comic ended. This? Isn't even an ending, it's just this show dying because nobody is watching it and them hoping the spin-offs are more popular. And it wasn't even a good version of that. The comic will always, always be superior by dint of actually loving ending the narrative. And it really doesn't matter what you think about the quality of the ending in the face of that. It ended. The tv show failed and was put down.

I liked the finale. Great acting, excellent music, dumb ugly explosion. Hearing Rick Grimes's voice had me cheesing so hard. The human and emotional moments were good, that was always what this show did best IMO and it's what originally resonated with me when I finally decided to watch during Season 6. In general I enjoy horror, zombies, action scenes, but I never watched TWD because it seemed so melodramatic. And oh it certainly is, but I really connected with the many scenes of one character looking another straight in the eye and plainly saying/explaining/reminding "Yes this entire world is stupid evil bullshit, but we have to keep going and trying." The camaraderie in hell-on-earth just really clicked for me. It humbled me too--how I kept waiting for this Carol lady to die, especially now that they found her daughter and she has nothing to live for, gosh these TV writers are so transparent! When Daryl rescued her from the farm in the S2 finale was one of the first times I realized I was beginning to love the show. What a unique arc for Melissa McBride, how cool is that? I've always had a soft spot for TWD because I binged during a real dark low point. It gave me stuff to feel when I wasn't feeling much of anything. Sometimes that's enough. I was always rooting for it to improve and make sense and be coherent and stop being fumbled by AMC Committee board meeting focus group tinkering. I was often let down but I never hate-watched. I agree with the many people that say TWD is one of those shows that benefits from binge watching. A few months ago I rewatched S7-S9E5/Rick's departure, my first viewing since original airdates, and it does flow much better. I think I wouldn't have connected with TWD if I watched the early seasons as they aired. I'm thankful for my right-place right-time experience. Later TWD will live in my same brain realm of later-season Game of Thrones or sequel trilogy Star Wars--can't stop wondering about what-ifs and what could have been. I just hope AMC wises up. They need new writers and restructuring. I watched a few Tales episodes and they were same-y and bland. FtWD had an incredible S3 but it went so far downhill it's unwatchable, I quit years ago. World Beyond I quit after two episodes (I heard S2 is much better tho). I recommend the Telltale games, I'm not a huge gamer, especially single player, but I found them engaging, emotive, honestly amazing. Other finale stuff I liked: -Luke's death was kinda silly at first but the reactions of his group were really well done -Judith getting secured in the hospital room like Rick -the music. Bear McCreary showed up. -the dinner scene, like how Rick imagined having one day -closure of Gaberial's arc. He was willing to die to let innocents inside, compare that to his introduction. -Negan's talk with Maggie. Maggie's talk with Negan. A+ -everything with Rosita -I always wanted them to kill more characters but I'm glad they didn't here in the finale for Just Cuz and OMGOMG cheap shock reasons. The show found other ways to make this viewer emotional, like acting and dialogue, wow who knew.

the voiceover fast forward through the whole zombie horde problem and the solution to the smart zombies being "hey watch out for them smart zombies, be careful now" was pretty egregious

It was still pulling 3-5M viewers every week despite AMC home presence being down 20% over 3 years ago. Plus however many watched on the AMC streaming service. A far cry from its 13-15M peak but for a cable show hitting over 1M is a runaway success.
