Re-watching The Walking Dead after reading 40 comics

[Jangler]

I have rewatched the first 2 seasons of TWD and have started S3, amazing how much of the show is not in the comics and vice versa.

[PandaPancake]

The show is great. The comics is written by a guy that got beat up in high school.

[Jangler]

I would have liked to see the Michonne and Governor rape scenes, would have made all of the hate for the Gov even better for the show.

the first 20 issues are bad.   after that it matures.

Wait.

 

You are saying the show..... is better than the comics?

 

I can read the comics out loud and still act better than the real professional actors on that show.

[PandaPancake]

Yeah because when I watch a show about a zombie apocalypse acting is my first complaint.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

on any type of serial drama, acting should be a consideration

[Jangler]

Rick losing his hand would be better for the show. 

 

well not losing it...I'm sure he knows where he buried it...

[Porn Shop Clerk]

kirkman expressed remorse later on about how much more difficult the writing became after the main protagonist lost his right hand so i'm not surprised they changed that

[scpanther22]

I think the walking dead would benefit if they had a good antagonist. I never really cared for the governor one way or the other.  

[Jangler]

yeah, the Gov seemed to be on the show a lot longer than he was in the comics.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

the governor was better in the comics too

Exactly.

 

This isn't CSI: Miami.

 

This is a show that SHOULD and is SUPPOSED to be about human nature more than zombies.  The zombies are just there, but the real story is about how humans are acting and adapting to the situation of a post-apocolyptic landscape.   In fact, I'm pretty sure the zombies won't even be around later on in the comics.  In the comics and the novel "Rise of the Governor" he had a much, much better story in the comics.  They just didn't do it right.  I actually think the actor could have pulled it off with better writing too making it even more annoying. 

I really, really wish HBO wouldn't have passed on this show before it came around to AMC.  I watch the show, it's a good popcorn show, but the lost potential is very high.

[Brooklyn Bully]

The show sucks.

 

It's like an NBC miniseries with that acting.
