veni veni veni posted:I'd defiantly agree that the characters completely lack any sort of interesting personalities now. They are all just generic badasses who are occasionally given some sort of meltdown to keep poo poo interesting, whereas they mostly started out with pretty distinct character traits that are totally gone at this point. That's why I thought it was lame they killed off Tyreese/Noah/Nicholas/Carter(?) etc. They had some sort of, I guess 'quirk' that set them apart from 'murdermurdermurder'. Tyreese was built like a brick shithouse, but was losing his will to spill blood. Noah was a well-meaning kid kinda just dropped in their laps unsure if he'd make it. Nicholas was a cowardly POS who seemed to be wanting to redeem himself but was still a coward at heart. Ethan Embry was against Rick at the start and was ready to cut and run at even the faintest whiff that something would go wrong with the herd plan (plus, he seemed to have been plotting a coup). When even the priest is hacking through zombies and gunning down enemies, yeah, they are all pretty much palette swaps for one another at this point. Honestly, I feel Eugene is the only really 'unique' one left of the main crew. E: I remember there was a guy in the infirmary (Heath's friend) that had a leg wound that was going septic until Denise found the answer in a textbook and drained it. Did he die, or is he still in the infirmary just waiting to die so that later Heath can get choked up and say 'He... he was such an important person in my life, not that we ever showed it on screen'?

Acacia REI posted:Aside from the weird sickness they had going through the prison, does anyone in this show ever die from anything other than injuries (like walker bites or just being straight up murdered by someone)? You'd think in an apocalyptic scenario there would be more cases of, like, dysentery and botulism and whatnot. Nicholas committed suicide (and so did some unnamed resident in Alexandria). Not sure if that counts from what you're asking. Daryl's always eating gross things, and everybody ate that pack of stray dogs, so I'm surprised everyone isn't suffering from some pretty severe intestinal parasites. But then again, it wouldn't be 'exciting' tv if Daryl died from making GBS threads himself inside out. E:But heck, even Z-Nation had a character dying from sepsis because she cut her leg on barbed wire. The closest WD came was T-Dog getting a little wonky for all of two episodes from gashing his arm open on a rusty car. LadyPictureShow fucked around with this message at 05:36 on Oct 19, 2016 |

I'm surprised there aren't more unfortunate/whoops deaths. There was that old man in Woodbury that died from cancer in S3, when Milton was doing that experiment to see if zombies have any memories of their living life. E: I asked about it in a previous post if the guy was still alive, but Denise was taking care of someone with an infected leg injury (from getting shot). He's probably a goner too.

Luvcow posted:I was hoping for more of a diarrhea storyline, maybe a riot starts over people hoarding toilet paper This show has characters as low on ammo/supplies/food as necessary, and the dilemma tends to be wrapped up by the end of the episode. In a deleted scene from the S2 opener when they went back to the nursing home, there was roughly a dozen people in the group, and all they had food-wise was like, a bag of chips, a bottle of wine, and a can of garbanzo beans. They got over it. At the start of season 3, they were so low on supplies, Carl nearly ate a can of wet dog food before Rick smacked it out of his hands. By the end of the episode, they'd found the fully stocked pantry in the prison cafeteria. Governor was coming for them and they're seriously outgunned and Rick is down to his last bullet. Crazy-town Morgan lets them take like, a dozen assault rifles and all the ammo they'd ever need. People are getting sick left and right from the flu. Don't worry, they get back with meds in the nick of time before anyone important from the main cast succumbs to the sickness. Everyone's starving/dehydrated to the point they're eating worms and wild dogs. Oh, here comes a rain storm and Aaron with supplies. I feel like if they could play it right (haha, like that'd ever happen) a storyline about their futile attempts to keep someone alive/get someone help could be a good, melancholy little story arc. Like, for example, the emotions the group would go through if, say, they were out of formula for Judith, searching high and low for anything to keep her alive, and coming up empty handed and powerless to help her since a baby can't eat solid food. Or, say, someone comes down with something that would be easily treatable if society hadn't crumbled; like, appendicitis or pneumonia, or heck, even food poisoning from eating possibly expired canned goods. Some antibiotics and IV rehydration would have cleared that right up in the old world, but that's not a possibility now. Hell, even an allergic reaction could be lethal in the zombie apocalypse. Granted, in a show about zombies, most people don't expect realism, but there's a lot that could be done beyond 'A bad man killed my friend, now I am sad'. E: I think the only 'medical problem that is barely kept stable' they've ever shown was that girl with Dwight that had Diabetes. And she was dead by the end of the episode, so NBD.

Blazing Ownager posted:Oh, they absolutely should end with a time forward showing Alexandria as the new capitol of a new nation that rises from the ashes, to maybe like 100-200 years later when humanity is actually rebuilding and it is revealed the next generation - Judith in particular - is actually immune to the zombie condition, and cannot contract it; they inherited immunity from their parents. FTWD toyed with a group held together by a sort of cult of personality guy that had been bitten but didn't turn. Turned out he'd been trying to help a kid that they threw to the zombies because he'd been high on bath salts or PCP or something at the time. Knowing WD show writers, the ending would start by showing some new arrivals in Alexandria and throughout the ep, they keep dropping how 'they need to go see Rick', so oh, you think Rick's the leader and they have to do an entrance interview a la Deanna's system. By the end there's a twist and it's revealed 'going to see Rick' is some sort of altar or sepulchre or something with Rick's ancient-rear end bones on display, and it's been so long he's become some sort of mythical figure because he kept their eventual lord and saviors Coral and Judith alive long enough for them to grow up and become those what solved the zombie crisis. Or, they keep talking about going to see the monument to the great hero that saved humanity from the zombies, they go see it at the end of the ep, pan up and it's Gabriel or something.

T-Dog (forever still the greatest in our hearts) was using a fireplace poker and riot shield in S3, so he was basically a Spartan. On that front, why didn't anyone else think to grab a shield so they could phalanx maneuver the prison zombies? Probably for the same 'reasons' that only Glenn thought to use riot armor after a few episodes.

But of course he died once he got a whiff of character development, which seemed to start the trend. I wish he were still around. E: I feel like S3 was just a shitton of wasted potential.

Astroman posted:I don't know if they ever get into it in the comic. I'm on the fence if I want them to show the "Secret Origins of Negan--REVEALED!!" because if they humanize him like The Governor it'll take away from the existence of Negan as a Force of Nature. From what a friend told me, they're doing a little, like minicomic called 'Here's Negan' about what he was up to when the outbreak started. Turns out in this comic he used to be a coach at a school (I think baseball) and Lucille the bat is named after his wife Lucille, who died from cancer and reanimated at the start of the outbreak. So at least in the comic, his back story and the Gov's backstory aren't too different. Lose somebody, go unhinged.

yeah I eat rear end posted:I guess, but I don't know what the alternative would have been. I guess it might have been interesting for them to get settled in for a couple episodes before getting shoved into the train carts, but I could also see that being incredibly boring. None of the Terminus characters were particularly interesting anyway so I'm happy how they handled it. I think the problem was they weren't given much of a chance to be interesting. And for everyone pooh-poohing S2, i found if you binge it and fast forward through any scene with Lori/Andrea/Beth, it's a lot more tolerable. I still think the Shane/Otis plot early in the season was awesome, but goddamn, how many times did Daryl need to go off searching? I also feel they could have done more with the 'dissent' among the ranks. Andrea, T-Dog, Glenn and Daryl seemed to be behind the idea that Shane was extreme/a little unhinged but he was right about the situation, whereas Dale, Lori, Carol etc. seemed fine to defer to whatever Rick said. Also, Hershel's infinite ammo cheat was amazing and the only casualties of the farm invasion being Jimmy and Patricia, the two total non-entities of the season, started the downward trend of 'we need to kill somebody. Somebody not that important.' If anything, nothing happening on the farm primed us for nothing happening w/ the Negan situation.

The only cars they should bother actually trying to preserve are those that have been converted to run on vegetable oil. Those will be useful for years after the gas runs out/goes bad. Seems like the kind of thing they could have Eugene on task for. Despite the fact he admitted he wasn't a scientist, has he ever explicitly stated what he did do pre-apocalypse? Despite being a huge goon, he seems pretty generally knowledgeable when it comes to things. Wasn't he running point in the warehouse where Noah got killed b/c he knew what they needed for solar panel components? Team him up with a mechanic, they'd probably have veg oil cars in no time. Or they find Ed Begley Jr's house and steal his car. His probably runs on vegetable oil already.

JustinMorgan posted:Weren't Terminus and the Bad Cop Hospital on their journey North? Those were still in the Atlanta area; they didn't head north until Beth's suicide by cop, and even then, Noah's community was in Richmond, VA IIRC. I honestly lost interest in this show with all the dragging plots out, but I still like reading this thread for a laugh/to see what opinions are. Honestly, axeing Darabont was the stupidest move this show made. I rewatched a few S1 episodes, and the discrepancy is just ridiculous. You guys remember Rick's conflict with the Vatos gang over the bag of guns/hostage exchange for Glenn? Sure, 'oh, they're actually defending a nursing home, they're okay guys!' might have been a touch hokey, but they wrapped that poo poo up in a single episode. If they did that episode now, it'd be 4-5 episodes of: 'Give us the guns!' 'No! Give us Glenn back!' 'No way ese.' Then Rick, T-Dog and Daryl brood/contemplate the decision for two episodes while staring blearily into the middle distance. Also Darabont had them wrap things up rather cordially, nowadays, they'd probably be raping all the old folks and high on opiates at all times, and Rick's group would leave no survivors. I guess what I'm saying is, can't Rick's crew ever have an encounter with another survivor group that isn't evil, morally dubious, or outright useless?

Well, yeah, but I mean Hershel's master plan was zombie containment in barn, Woodbury had execution squads/torture rooms, Marinez's camp was doing okay until Solid Gov showed up, Terminus ate people, the hospital had some creepy rapey indentured servitude stuff going on (but they wanted no poo poo once the bad cops were dealt with), Noah's place was wiped out by the Wolves, Alexandria and Hilltop seem like a bunch of dumb, mostly useless wusses. Negan squad is into bashing heads, torture, and taking stuff. I guess the Kingdom might be okay, as Renn Faire as it is. I just mean, where exactly is like, the 'other Rick groups', competent survivors that they maybe pass by without that whole group ending up slaughtered aside from a few B-characters that join their squad for like, eight episodes. They never just like, run into a different group for an episode then part ways, with those other survivors going on to god only knows what.

I know I'm a few pages late for skull-stabbin' chat, but has anyone ever failed on a headstab in this show? The only example I can remember is an episode of Fear. Our favorite goon tried to stab the undead (recently reanimated) principal and the blade glanced off and they had to resort to repeatedly clubbing him with a fire extinguisher to put him down. Some other bit of WD media had someone explaining it had to be eye socket, temple, or brainstem, otherwise the blade would skip off. Meanwhile, in this show you have people able to gently push a knife into the skull of a freshly deceased person, easy-peasy. When Bob was put down, Tyreese didn't even have to give it a wind-up to get through the skull. I know it's a magic zombie fantasy show, but there could be some tension/danger if every stab wasn't an auto OHK to zombie skull.

I honestly hope with the Savior war a-brewing, Morgan goes 'hey guys check this out' and reverts back to traptown mode, only less unhinged. He seems like the first guy to tap when you need to come up with zany defenses. Some of them like punji stick pit and axe trip line seemed like they were designed strictly for living people. He'd just have to tell himself it's the traps doing the killing, not him.

Sydney Bottocks posted:I know some frown on the comparison, but I'm almost done with season 2 of Z Nation and it has been far more enjoyable than the last season and a half of TWD thus far. It has a shitload of silly "get the gently caress outta here" moments, to be sure, but it also has had some surprisingly good character development, and keeping the main cast to an absolute minimum has also been hugely to its' benefit (much more so than how bloated TWD's character roster tends to be). I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who needs a change of pace from TWD's unrelenting grimness (and unintentional silliness, as opposed to Z Nation's intentional silliness). I agree with the 'minimal' cast on Z Nation. When a character gets killed off on that show, it actually comes as kind of a surprise. Early in season 2 the crew was in a fight against bounty hunters and zombies and I remember it being pretty suspenseful because literally any character could have died. I'm actually surprised by deaths on that show. I forget if the show tried touting 'no one is safe' like the comics did at one point, but both tend to have a 'tell' when someone's gonna die. None of them have really surprised or shocked me. E: on the topic of the video game, anyone know if it has a thread in the games forum? I've tried looking a few times but came up empty.

I'm honestly wondering if they're holding onto Daryl so he can be a big 'oh holy poo poo guys the stakes are high, SEE?!' deaths when they take on the Saviors. Because, honestly, the pack of characters whose death would make an impression is very thin. (Plus he hasn't been interesting IMO since Merle died) 'Oh no! We lost... uh, you know, one of the angry women!' 'I hate this show. They killed off Aaron's rarely seen boyfriend' I'm guessing they're going to kill off Daryl, Carol or Morgan as a 'huge' 'impactful' death. Benjamin, the kid that Morgan's training, is probably dead as Hell. Kid seems too nice, plus plot that gets Morgan and/or Carol back into the fight.

Andrew_1985 posted:The trash people are the worst part of this drawn-out Neegan drama. I'm sick of these saviours. Did it drag on this much in the comics? Why are they so intent on following them? From looking it up, Negan took out Glenn in issue 100 (though I think they showed up a few issues prior), war prep went until 114, the war lasted 12 issues. I guess that we can expect the war to wrap up in season nine, with lots and lots of dragging. I'd say best arcs are definitely Hershel vs the Flu, and IDK if it counts as an arc, but Shane and Otis trying to get the medical supplies in S2 was great; a high point in an otherwise bogged down season.

The Fear cast's lack of self-awareness is ridiculous. Smooth talker Strand and El Salvidad are the only interesting/not pants-on-head idiotic characters. After the main crew brained a guy that was trying to stop Cliff Curtis from murdering people and the daughter killed the closest thing the Hotel group had to a doctor, I couldn't understand why they were bamboozled that Strand refused to go with them when they were being thrown out. I would have also been 'Yeeeah, I'm not particularly close with them'. Both shows are like 'It would have been better if....' the series, but to different degrees.

I've flipped through them because he keeps them in the bathroom. The only 'change ups' are a slight shuffling of 'X minor character dies in place of other character', like Denise getting Abraham's comic demise. A lot of hardcore comics/show fans online are falling all over themselves speculating 'I hope X character gets THAT AWESOME DEATH from the comics'. The comics are not good. They even plonked themselves out of some plot points. For example, Nicholas was a bit of a player in the war storyline, here he's been dead since S6. So they'll probably shuffle in one of their other B characters or pop in a redshirt to take his arc/death. LadyPictureShow fucked around with this message at 14:33 on Mar 29, 2017 |

melon cat posted:It's really odd that they show Negan with his 7 concubine wives (many of whom he abducted/stole from his subordinates), but then try to paint him out as an "okayish" guy who has rules against rape. It's like they combined two different scripts, and never bothered to reconcile the differences between early-season Negan, and late-season Negan. I think they're trying to show what Negan's doing with his wives, he rationalizes as 'okay', because he doesn't force them to sleep with them, they do it of their own 'free will' (for benefits for themselves/husbands/get out of the not-so-cushy points system). Based on the structure of the Saviors they 'willingly' join his harem. But actual non-coercive rape? Hold the phone, mister! I forget, didn't they burn a dude's face like Dwight's in the first half of the season for the 'crime' that his wife/gf went back to him?

Right when tiger-ex-machina happened and the Kingdom/Hilltop crews both sprang into action, my boyfriend who had been quiet the entire fight scene finally said 'This. Is. loving. Terrible.' Personally, I thought it was hilarious that both groups seemed like they were already there but just quietly waiting to make the most dramatic 'cavalry has arrived!' moment ever (was a Kingdom guy carrying a loving banner?!) Then again, I laughed when Rick was being led toward Negan and Carl, and the first dead no-name Alexandrian he saw was literally in a red shirt. Just once I want a throwaway line 'Did this guy even live here?'

This sort of mystery could fill a whole episode! All the leaders pause to try and negotiate, and in the brief cease fire, everyone takes the opportunity to dispose of their dead. Cut to a tense standoff of an Alexandrian, a Kingdom guy, a Hilltop guy, a Savior and a Trashman, all standing around something. Gabriel hustles over, already exhausted from saying quick Hail Marys for all the dead. A dead body on the ground. The tense conversation? Nobody knows who the gently caress the dead guy is. Cue forty minutes of them puzzling over the fact, while Gabriel tries to look for clues, since he 'used to watch CSI a lot' The negotiations are getting tense, when Jerry bursts into the room, frantic and out of breath. They need to get out there, fast! Everyone has gathered around awaiting Gabriel's conclusion. After promising build up... no, he is just as stumped as everyone else. Negotiations resume; briefly. Peace isn't achieved, but they've at least decided what color bandanna each group has to wear.

They fought in the finale and also made the trip to Oceanside, which I like because it makes the world feel real (at least a little bit) and that the story isn't just about Our Heroes. There's Tobin and Eric. Tobin was the guy that was sweet on Carol before she took off, and Eric just kinda shows up when Aaron's not trying off trying to steal boats. The fact that the camera focused on the five or six 'named extras' during the Oceanside robbery and the initial fight seems like they're trying to remind viewers 'oh hey! Remember these guys?!' I would bet none of them make it out alive.

There was talk that the back half of this season had a number of reshoots/edits (and I think the last eight eps are still filming when the season premieres) No idea if it was related to poor viewer reactions in the front half of the season though. I'm sure it was more like 'this sequence doesn't make sense' rather than 'Fuuuuuuuck, Steven Ogg's character is the only one people actually like!' *hastily slams out four new scripts*

Oh, the bit about Ogg was just a throwaway hypothetical; but you make a good point.

Funky See Funky Do posted:Do they have any material from the comic that would make a watchable show after the Negan thing? I vaguely remember someone in this thread telling me it's just peace and farming after they beat the Saviors. Right now in the comics the new villains are a bunch of chuds that dress in skin suits made from tanned Walker hides, and made a big move where they lured away/captured ten people and created a 'border' with them that sparked off a new all-sides hullabaloo. I feel it's just a grosser looking repeat of every other 'enemy' they find in WD. The only difference after the Saviors is some of the communities are jumbled around, some new characters have bigger roles, some surviving Saviors now collaborate with Rick's group. In the peace and farming point, it just shows the communities are thriving and are now super-competent at zombie moving.

When the show either outpaces the comic or it's time for show to be taken out to pasture, I hope they don't try to shoehorn in a reason/explanation or cure for the zombie problem. God, I don't even want to imagine... Episode 1: a mysterious stranger is seen lurking around Rick's group! Episode 2: a deadly game of cat and mouse! But who's hunting whom?! Episode 3: Daryl or someone gets injured/impossibly trapped by walkers during the search! It'll be Daryl. Episode 4: They finally catch the man, who claims to be a scientist! He has all the information on the disk... only it's a 3.5" floppy! Episode 5: The team debates trusting the man, particularly the data format. Everyone wonders where Daryl is to send him on a trip to find it. Morgan and Ezekiel go. Episode 6: Bottle episode; we get to see Daryl wince and cry as he struggles to rejoin the group. Episode 7: on a dangerous adventure, Morgan and Ezekiel have to venture into an underfunded inner-city school in search of a suitably old computer. Episode 8: All storylines converge, and the new arrival seems nervous when the appropriate computer arrives. After setting it up, he hesitates, until Rick pulls his gun, threateningly. Right after he inserts the floppy, but before anything can be shown on the screen, Eugene appears. Shocked, he asks: 'Marcus?' *tense musical stinger*

Blazing Ownager posted:If McPoyle ever leaves Westworld he should totally join the trash people cast, as McPoyle. There's a bizarro version of that teamup in the first season of Hap and Leonard (it's up on Netflix). Jimmi Simpson plays a gun runner and Pollyanna McIntosh is his girlfriend/bodyguard. And they're loving ridiculous. But the whole time I just kept thinking 'McPoyle and Trashlady!' LadyPictureShow fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Apr 13, 2017 |
