    Carl was without a doubt the worst character death that made no sense at all. I always hoped that the show would have the "old carl" ending with Carl telling Judith the story of Rick. It explains anything the viewer of the show may have thought wasn't realistic and would have been the best ending.

    • @TWDExplained
      @TWDExplained  3 ปีที่แล้ว +47

      It would have been best for old man Carl to be the ending....at least we got it in the comic. Seems the show is the reversal...Judith died in the comic - but lived in the show to be able to have a nearly same show ending, as the comic?

    Chandler Riggs had good reason to feel safe, at the beginning of season 8 Gimple told him he looked forward to working with him for several more seasons. And Riggs did by a house in the Atlanta area (actually a renovated 19th century church) so the kid got royally screwed. BTW, I saw the house on Air B&B and Chandler has a twisted sense of humor, there's a kids room with a play loft and a flower mural on the wall with "Just look at the flowers" script.

    In defense of the actress who played Andrea, it's hard to do your best acting when your character is doing stupid things, and you know it deep down inside. For example, ditching her BFF Michonne who saved her life not once but twice for a guy you hardly know, only an insecure woman would do that and Andrea was not insecure. Shooting Daryl when they told her not to shot. Not going to the prison sooner even when her gut told her to. Wasting time getting the plyers by talking to a dying man. Not staying at the prison the first time she went. I can go on for another paragraph with the dumb stuff the writers had her doing.

    They messed up big time with Carl, i believe that's a reason Andrew left. Biggest mistake on the Show for sure! They screwed up Andreas character by dumbing her down, falling for the gov and not seeing him for who he really was. Miss Madison and Jesus immensely and hate they are gone! Oh and Dale too. That was one of the saddest deaths for me, i cry like a baby every time I see that scene with Rick freaking out, trying to get Hershel to save him. Sorry brother! 😥

Tom Payne could have been amazing as Jesus, they way they made him look in the introduction, it took both Rick and Daryll to take him down and then he escapes and comes to talk to Rick. That should have been the badass character we knew but they watered him down I thought, so much potential, he could have been the next beloved Daryll type character

      Lauren Cohen was a relative nobody before the walking dead...I am sure she gets paid plenty. She went off to try to carry a show on her own as a co-lead, but it tanked because she is only known for her role as Maggie. No-one cares about her outside of her Maggie role , she has no clout, she should be happy to be a working actress.

  • @ryanelliott71698
    @ryanelliott71698 3 ปีที่แล้ว +45

    I do like your points but would like to add some more clarity.
    For Frank D leaving, it’s Moore likely his fallout with AMC was due to them giving Frank a 1/3 less of the budget he had in season 1 (a critical and ratings hit) and told to make 13 episodes with the same quality.
    For Andrea’s death, there is a confirmed report that originally Andrea was supposed to live. Laurie H (the story that feels more likely) said how Glen M changed her death because it’d be “shocking” and no one would see it coming”. In which Glen H was fired and never worked with AMC ever again.
    1 I would like to add is Beth’s death. A few interviews I read about Emily K feelings on it has an undertone that she didn’t see her death coming. The same way Emilia Clark was shocked (although not walking barefoot in the streets shocked) about what happened to her character. I’ve read how Scott G planned for her to die since season 4. But if THIS was the way he wanted back in season 4, then he’s an even shittier writer than I thought. 4 episodes of us finding Beth’s alive trying to rescue her all gone to waste. Effectively 1/4 of season 5 was pointless (although I’d add episodes 9 and 10 as well).
    I’m going to roll Carl and Jesus into 1 and you’ll understand why.
    Scott Gimple should have been fired... Fired right after season 5. I gave Glen M heat for stupidly killing off Andrea but that doesn’t compare to the shit Scott Gimple did. He killed off Carl because he woefully took a slight error in the comic where Negan just all the sudden stops fighting Rick to hear his speech. And decided the best way to “fix” that was to kill off Carl... Only to have the exact... same problem... in his version!!! And this extends to Jesus and how after season 6 he basically cut quite a bit of his comic content that by season 8b he’s just a background character. Scott Gimple damaged this show way more than Glenn M ever did. 4/11’s of the show is damaged because of this idiot. He should be vilified and despised like how David B and Dan Weiss are with Game of Thrones.
    And you wanna know what the WORST part is. Although it took 8 years for HBO to finally get his of those 2 frauds, AMC STILL employs Scott Gimple.
    We could have gotten Frank D, a man who actually gave a crap about the little people, the people behind the sets that aren’t just the actors. I guy who actually cared about the source material. We could of had his vision for the show. And that should haunt you.

    Chandler just needed time to develop as an actor. He was playing against actors in their 40s that have had numerous jobs before this, coaches, etc. He didn’t need to be the star to take over once Andrew Lincoln left but killing Carl off was not necessary. Plus the writers gave half of Carls storylines away to other characters. How can he grow if he isn’t given the story either 🤷🏻‍♀️

They wrote him boring, uneventful until the day he died, then they gave him some real action. Also Chandler said in an interview before was fired that he didnt like the way his character was going and that he was getting bored. Then they fired him, I think because he said what he said.

    I personally feel that if they never fired Frank, then TWD we have today would have never existed and probably for the better. Andy Lincoln would’ve never left the show, Carl wouldn’t have been killed off due to Scott Gimple’s terrible show running. The show would’ve panned out in a much more natural, fluid and entertaining way. But for like a long time, there was a point where I outright stopped watching the show for a year or two because of how bad the writing was. I’ve since rewatched the entire series up to the latest episodes TWICE OVER. I can honestly say, they made a huge mess after Frank got fired.

      Agreed I like Frank he made it comic accurate, as well as added some cool interesting stuff for comic book fans, so they wouldn’t expect certain things then I am she took over and turn the series into a cash grab with spinoffs that aren’t really good the show isn’t even comic accurate anymore it’s just awful in the final season episode did not feel like an ending felt even more like a cash grab just using the finale to market the spinoffs

    Chandler Riggs was done DIRTY by AMC and Scott f***ing Gimple! He was given a two year contract and then was killed off. He was lied to a screwed over. Now Carl, in the first couple of seasons, was an annoying little kid. His character got better after Lori died and he actually became quite the fan favorite (judging by the backlash) and was killed off because AMC didn't want to pay him an adult salary. Gimple didn't have the stones to stand up to the network. If anyone has the right to be pissed at the network, it's Chandler Riggs.

    The Andrea character I liked though I didn't care for some of the things she did, but I thought she was coming around and then they killed her off? There was a good number of characters that were liked and they just unceremoniously were killed off. Like Tara, Enid, Sasha, Gamma, Denise, Noah, Ozzy and Tammy
    Then FTWD they pretty much killed off the whole original cast 🤦‍♂️ I missed some episodes, came back to find there is only 3 left and now they brought back Daniel so 4 bu still holy shit. They killed of Nick, Madison, his dad Travis who all 3 were awesome characters and I thought Travis's other son Chris had alot of potential.

Carl felt so premature, and in the end that departure was what saw Andy leave, Rick stopped evolving for him apparently. And now that they only have Judith and she's not a strong enough actor to carry the show, well yeah, now its the Negan and Daryl show..

    Actually I had a conversation with Tom Payne, that's not exactly what he said to me. As far as Riggs goes, I also had a talk with him, actually on December 10 2018, I knew something wasn't right with him and he was not himself that day. And of course when I got home from the Jersey Walker Stalker, well watching the season 8 mid season finale I understood why Chandler wasn't pretty much not himself that day.
    I followed his story and him and his dad were in Gimple's office and ready to sign a 3 year contract because Riggs was willing to wait to go to college. It did come down to the raise he wanted as an adult.
    Chandler can act, when giving the lines, he wasn't lazy. We saw it in episodes 8&9 of season 8, Chandler can act.
    It's funny Gimple killed him off ( fired him) and with that 3 year contract his character as Carl would had ended in season 11. Sometimes you have to take what Gimple says with a grain of salt.

    I think the problem with bringing back some of these characters is that in real life, more than a decade has passed for people like Jeffrey Demunn, who was already an aged actor as is, let alone more than a decade later to bring him back and expect us to buy whatever they had going on for him before the Atlanta camp. Just my two cents. Make up can do wonders but I hope they keep this series limited to characters we actually *want* to hear from, and some lesser known or yet unknown characters. For instance, I’d love an episode based on the people that were exiled from Alexandria. There’s a bit of an explanation in the comics but it’s essentially just a loose end. Deana reckons she sent them to their deaths, but we don’t know that as an audience, and I thought the Wolves story would actually elaborate on it some, but as with most things in the show, it’s a smoking gun.
