Show a hit and later on a huge failure, and how the comics are the story
the tv show wished it had been.

I think the differences early were good or (neutral at worst) for the show, other than the character assassination of Andrea. I wish with Carl that they just changed his character from the comics on screen since I understand how him being about 11 in the comics doesn’t play well on an 18 year old but he is such an integral part to the functioning of the group even without being the same exact character. They really did him a disservice by not exploring the dark side he experiences in the comics that much
Yeah you're right they weren't as noticeable in the beginning, and I couldn't have said it better myself fam you right
This is one of the reasons I'm kinda sad that I didn't get into comics because I can see how much more fulfilling the storylines are in comics vs the movies &/or tv show adaptations.
You are so right, like if you ever have the free time check them out, I'm pretty sure they are all online for free to read so you'd probably enjoy it.
@@HowlCT will do, thank you!
for me i found the show to be better in most story lines, like you said it tended to tee things up more which i think mostly worked well, i really liked the addition of terminus as i think it gave the survivors more of a reason to not trust alexandria (or anyone) plus in the show i enjoyed how you had quite a while between the hunters/terminus and alexandria so you felt they were really on the road for a while but in the comic it felt like they found aaron very soon after. andreas death was very dumb, but i dont hate how she handled aside from that, i think if you imagine her as just a different character its not so bad esp as michonne pretty much takes her role from about s6 onwards. plus i think its very sad dale had to be killed off so soon in the show (his death was extremely stupid) but i really liked bob and thought the remix was well handled. the only arcs i think were better in the comic (and significantly so) were all out war and the whisperer war, which i do think comes down to how they tried throughout the show to flesh out every story line but those wars work muchh better with the faster pace the comic had throughout, although personally i dont hate carls death as it did serve the story of rick becoming more pacifist and he had judith to live and fight for aswell. what the comic definitely has over the show is it was never actively bad, unlike s8-10 (imo) of the show, but it never hit the same high highs for me, but that perhaps comes down to the nature of tv being much more able to show emotion and spectacle rather than just words and pictures on a page
i should add i watched s1-10 before reading the whole comic, so i was kinda comparing it backwards, but i think id have the same opinion either way
I’m happy that people are now appreciating the comic more now that the show has ended.
In after "The Ones Who Live" is done airing and yes i do see what Scotty Gimpleman was planning for Ricks character and Carls death but even still in the end it didn't feel worth it compared to what we lost for the ending we got in the comics and its sad to see he couldn't do more to make it more wholesomely complete. But hey im more happy than pissed to see it so that's good right?
I grew up watching the Walking Dead, and know that I’ve started watching more Tv shows, it is painful how much fluff the show has and how unfocused the show is, especially in later seasons.

I absolutely agree with you having read the comics first before watching the show I didn't get into The Walking Dead until they were already in season 11 but I did buy all the compendiums one through four and read them during the break of the 11b series on the TV show so I was ready and I also ordered the back issues of the DVDs and watched all the way to the end on the TV show no I agree completely that they should have stayed with the comic book I understand Carol she turned out to be a very good strong character I don't mind Judith I thought she added something to it it was unfortunate that the actor who played Carl they had a misunderstanding on his future and that's how they wrote him out Andrew Lincoln probably could have gone on to finish up the series it would have gone so long because they inserted some other villains the Wolves and the Reapers and would have finished up probably season 10 and everything would have been fine and I think the issuance of the spin-offs being announced early killed the suspense of the show thank you for your video I enjoyed it very much have a great day 😊
Hey man I love your input and I agree with you, I'm really glad that you enjoyed the video man, I'll try and keep bringing you quality content.
i just started the whisperers arc and it's bland, lazy and repetitive.
I started reading after season 9, and there was a part of me that wanted to stop, because it made the show look kinda bad.
I still love it tho, even with all it’s flaws
Right, I still like the show sometimes I just know the comics did it better. but at least we have both, its far more than we deserve, I never thought a show about zombies could take off but oh boy was I wrong as a kid lol
I got into the show around when season 4 came out and I only just started reading the comic a week-ish ago. it’s so shocking how the show changed so much while still trying to keep some anchor points. It ends up feeling really half baked and like “wow I remember when that was actually interesting in the comic!”
I noticed it most in the governor arc (since I haven’t read much past that yet) where there’s remnants of his horrible actions but they feel very shallow in the show. Him keeping a zombie is weird but more how Hershel keeping zombies was weird and less downright fucking disgusting. Him keeping zombie heads in boxes is less deranged and more “why does he have those..?”.
Etc etc.
The show is so good and I love it so fucking much but it’s so easy to tell that it’s a shaky plot, even without reading the source material.
I wish this show was either more faithful or wayyy less faithful. It walked the line between original and adaptation a bit too much and ended up failing a significant amount of both ends.
Shitty adaptation while not being original enough to escape the comparisons of quality.
Couldn't have said it better myself, very well constructed opinion awesome, and I agree :)
the show never failed tho? its one of the most successful series on tv
if you've read the comics , the shows really bad, thats kinda my whole point.
I feel like you're upset that the TV adaptation wasn't a 1:1 adaptation of the comics. While I agree that AMC's notorious meddling and cheapness led to a lot of mistakes, a bunch of these differences aren't as big of a deal as you're making them out to be, especially the ones prior to No Way Out.
Hey I appreciate the comment! :) But uh nah the changes put in the video are what I'm getting at, and everyone's got an opinion fam, I'm glad you feel opposed. It gives new perspective while I'll still keep my same opinion though, but thanks @Trey Magathan
