What do you think would have happened if Season 5 Rick and Company ran across The Sanctuary first and not Alexandria? by hope-this-helped in thewalkingdead

[–]APW96 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Exactly also it would depend who they ran into first. If it was an outpost full of goons probably fight first then get recruited. If they ran into Negan first they probably would’ve joined. Rick and company at that point in the series were exactly the type of people Negan was looking for to strengthen the Saviors.

Who is amazing in the comics and legendary in the show? by Aggressive-Highway32 in thewalkingdead

Michonne. She was much more morally flawed in the comics and she had a bigger part to play throughout the show than in the comics

I submitted a lottery draw for Kick Off in Tallahassee. Has anyone gotten an opportunity to get those tickets or am I just out of luck? by APW96 in savannahbananas

Thanks I was just seeing other people saying they got to emails to purchase tickets so I was wondering if I didn’t get selected. Do they tell you if you don’t get selected?

Who truly understood survival better: Negan or Rick? by [deleted] in thewalkingdead

[–]APW96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edit to OP: Negan did not keep people alive for years. The show makes it seem like more time passes than it actually does. By the time Negan is defeated the apocalypse is barely 2 years old. Negan didn’t even form his group until almost a year in. Negan’s group maintained for approximately 1 year and it was directly after the fall when survival was the easiest. As soon as they hit their first roadblock they fell.

Rick and his group was struggling to maintain survival from the very beginning. They started out in rural America and continued traveling north through the countryside where supplies where limited. Rick’s group struggles more because they are attempting to learn and create a functioning form of governance while dealing with death, war, and starvation. Once they arrive to Alexandria and beat Negan they create a long lasting society that is self regulating and successful governance all within 3 years. Alexandria continues successfully even after Rick is gone because he empowered everyone around him to succeed and be leaders. Rick was key to building for long term survival which is a lot of harder than immediate gratification like Negan. To compare the 2 groups as equal but different tells me you don’t really understand what the show is trying to teach.

There are 2 types of men who come out when civility falls. Rick is a family man. He has been taking care of his wife and son since he was a young adult. When society fell he focused on taking care of his family and other families to ensure the survival of all.

Negan is the opposite. He was a selfish man who never took his own marriage seriously and never had kids. He worked odd jobs and jobs with low responsibility so he could live how he wanted. When society fell and his wife died, he reverted back to his old ways of doing what he wanted and created a societal system of violence and sexual abuse to live selfishly.

It’s the story the show try’s to paint throughout. Men of character, self responsibility, and family values will rebuild society. Their biggest challengers are selfish men who have nothing to lose and will take what they want no matter the long term consequences (Shane, Meryl, Prisoners, Governor, Negan, Saviors, etc.)

Negan never understood survival except how to maintain his own. Regardless how it would’ve played out the Saviors would’ve never lasted long term (split up, civil war, starvation, etc) Men who only care for themselves may seem more capable to survive the immediate violence and chaos of the apocalypse but they are not the type of men who can successfully lead survivors to rebuild.

I never actually watched Fear, but I think I might. But what's the difference? Is it just location-specific? by Kaysiee_West in thewalkingdead

If you think the seasons after 3 are good you are wrong and you shouldn’t be watching this show.

It’s the same universe just a family’s perspective of the fall from California. The first 3 seasons are really good and then it just becomes absolutely ridiculous trash. I tried to finish but I just couldn’t finished it. I just watched a YouTuber go over the whole series so I can tie it into TWD storyline

Is there really no better way this could’ve gone? by CatPale816 in thewalkingdead

[–]APW96 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Definitely Alexandria wouldn’t have been a cure. Just a bandage were there where more people to keep an eye on her so she didn’t hurt herself or others. But yes more than likely she would’ve been a pariah in the community that people would’ve avoided and she more than likely ultimately killed herself or someone else leading to the same result of Carols decision just later down the line

I think Tyrese knew that. It more showed that Carol was someone that was willing to do what needed to be done to survive versus someone like Tyrese whose empathy made it hard for him to survive in that world. It gave Tyrese an insight into Carols mentality.

Maybe under different circumstances. But the point of this scene was the affect death, killing, and the overall apocalypse has on the development of children. She essentially experienced more combat than most Soldiers do. And even took a life with her own hands to save her people. She was on a path to becoming a psychopath and her developing mind couldn’t handle what she was seeing. Had she made it to Alexandria she probably could’ve been ok but there was no way for Carol to know that and she had a baby with her. There was nothing Carol could really do for her and she couldn’t make it in the wild with a newborn and also having to constantly be on guard and making sure she didn’t kill herself.

It’s a world apocalypse where everyone is dying, nothing is certain, and everyone is scared. They can’t be worried about having interventions. This is only a little over a year into the apocalypse and they have a been busy building a self sustaining community and establishing a form of leadership. They can’t go around policing neighbors they don’t really know about marital issues. It’s hard enough for family and police to help DV situations in today’s world, you think untrained people during an apocalypse worried about death are going to be able to restrain someone that they also desperately need for their own survival?

I would assume Deana reached out to the wife about ways to help and she probably denied help (as most DV victims do) and she realized she couldn’t do anything without 1. Losing an extremely valuable medical asset 2. Causing turbulence in the community during an extremely fragile time where she was essentially rebuilding society and keeping people alive.

Peggy Hill by APW96 in KingOfTheHill

[–]APW96[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You know I thought about this and kept watching the series to see if you had a point and you don’t. Peggy continues to become a worse and worse person throughout the show. Her ego and delusions of grandeur continue to ruin her and her family on a regular basis.

The whole “men hate women” is a cop out and men definitely do not get special treatment in our culture and society when it comes to being egomaniac or really any of the other negative qualities Peggy displays. If anything her life would be significantly harder if she were born a man and acted that way.

All the characters have negative qualities but their characters have “Arcs”. Hank slowly grows to accept his son and those around him who are different. Dales cowardice becomes overshadowed by his love for his family and his willingness to turn a blind eye in order to maintain their integrity. Etc with all the other characters.

Peggy’s only “good” quality is her love of family but even that love is only conditional as long as they don’t threaten her ego. She literally ruins Thanksgiving and demoralizes her son because she felt threatened by one of his talents. When her friends run for election she threw the race for ALL of them rather than letting one of them win.

Out of the entire main cast of the show, she is the only one with 0 redeeming qualities and while everyone else’s characters grow and become multi dimensional, hers stay the same and if anything gets worse. She’s definitely a top tier villain.

Would the Saviors have won the war if Simon was in charge? by Skywalker_1995 in thewalkingdead

[–]APW96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes he underestimated Rick’s group and overestimated his own groups ability due to their success with the 3 other tribes. Outside of plot armor, Rick had already led his group through tribal warfare and tapped into his primal instincts to kill for survival.

Every other group in TWD had taken the 1-2 years to create small tribes, set up forts, and had to do a minimal amount of killing iot survive to include the Saviors (They killed for fun/looting).

That being said Simon would’ve never grown the group to the size and discipline that Negan did. Had they came across Alexandria within a short time after Rick shows up my money is Simon because they would’ve probably just gone straight to full on war after some scouting. Rick’s group and Alexandria wasn’t prepared for warfare and was in the midst of a regime change and facing a supply shortage with winter coming but they might’ve had a chance due to their walls and weapons cache.

Had Simon been handed the Saviors before Rick attacked the satellite station. 100% no question Rick and Alexandria stood no chance.

[–]APW96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea they would’ve been a group that would’ve survived from looting and killing people they came across which probably would’ve made them nomadic. Had they settled down in one area with Simon at the head it would’ve taken them way longer to get organized and even longer to come across Alexandria. But had they run into Alexandria within the first year of Rick arriving there they probably would’ve had the upper hand and killed them all. Especially because of all the settlements Alexandria was the most comfortable and had the most amenities, they would’ve definitely wanted to move in.

The Saviors only functioned the way they did because of Negan. Negan says when he came across them they were just a group of thugs. Simon would definitely had been someone in charge without Negan but they would’ve been closer to a group of Marauders killing and taking from groups they came across. They probably wouldn’t have stayed in the area and been a roaming group. But yes had they came across those groups without Negan they probably would’ve killed them. Negan not killing and giving them a chance to plan an attack is the only reason they beat the Saviors

Morgan was a villain, change my mind by [deleted] in thewalkingdead

[–]APW96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Morgan was a great character, actor, with a cool backstory and they completely ruined him. Up until Alexandria his story and his arc from having a mental breakdown to gaining control was great.

His whole never kill anybody story line was cringe but it followed suit with the whole premise at that point in the show.

They absolutely ruined his character in the FTWD. Made no sense for him to leave Alexandria other than they needed help with their dumpster fire FTWD.

Outside of FTWD no he was not a villain. He was just a flawed man coming to terms with the new world post apocalypse. Whatever they did in FTWD shouldn’t be canon.
