What was the OG plan for Beth... Her ending seems completely out of the ordinary...

Beth's death was a complete shock personally, I have never seen anything so unexpected play out, personally. Beth and Daryl were tied to each other, and Beth had a ton of development througout S5, especially with her learning how the world is now, in some weird way. But... killing her then? I personally think this was a last minute decision.

It's very much like Andrea's, just very out of the blue for an entire season of development. Andrea was supposed to save Woodbury and learn that she couldn't play peacekeeper anymore in some way, and she would in some way kill the governor at the end of the battle, and her character would be tied to Glenn, and - she would have some fued with Maggie because Hershel died because of her, this was all scrapped when they gave her death the go ahead.

Beth is very similar, I found all that information on Andrea through sources people dropped on Reddit, and archived posts, and a few internet scripts and stuff, but I can't find anything on Beth...Do you guys know anything about the OG plans?

I find her death to just be utterly disappointing and it was like all for shock value and for no narrative purpose.

Why Andrea and Rick make more sense than Michonne and Rick... In any universe.

Before anyone begins hating on me for this take, I LOVE Rick and Michonne. With the show pretty much having Andrea written out earlier than she was intended, Michonne was the only character that made sense narratively, but following the comic timeline I will make some points as to why Andrea and Rick could've felt more emotional, more deep, and more tragic at her eventual death.

- Rick has Lori, and Andrea has Dale. Already their own love interests, while people were disgusted at Dale and Andrea, I always found it to be beautiful. Love is not determined by age or looks, this is why I LOVED Andrea in the comics.

Andrea loses Amy, and Rick loses Shane - he seeks comfort in Lori - she gets pregnant. Andrea seeks confrontation in Dale, and they pretty much are a couple. While Robert Kirkman probably made that subplot when he was horny, or feeling silly, he made it as perfect as he possibly could.

Rick and Andrea both rebuild themselves, and Dale and Lori are pretty much dependent on their partner, Dale loses his leg, Lori is late stage pregnancy and early mom, but eventually Lori is killed, and Dale eventually dies as well - the way Bob does in the show.

They are both grieving, with the Atlanta camp growing smaller, Andrea and Rick in some way have a very “We have to stick together now” friendship, before it turns romantic - they pretty much mirror each others story, watch each others back and after 100 issues, it feels like something unexpected and deserved, and it's a true love story.

Michonne character in the comics is very problematic, she cheats with Tyrese on Carol, she gets with Morgan, and Ezekiel, and maybe some more... but the show wrote her much better imo. Michonne and Rick are BEAUTIFUL, but nothing touches the masterpiece of COMIC Andrea and Rick. The show made a big fuck up removing Andrea, and writing her to be as bad she was.

TLTR: Andrea and Rick's journey feels more earnt taking in they go through seperate arcs and journeys before getting to each other, they lose almost the same amount of emotions before they find each other, while Michonne and Rick kind of feels like it's more of a Carl made the relationship kind of thing. In the comics, Michonne was Rick's badass partner and they bonded with their illusions of the dead people, Michonne talked with her dead boyfriend, and Rick constantly talked on that phone with Lori. Nothing romantic. As someone who watched the show first, the comics with this romance arc feels like a 10/10 masterpiece, while Michonne and Rick sit at 8.9/10.

Just me?

REMINDER: I LOVE Michonne and Rick as well.

Many people hate S2-S4, but like... I LOVED all of the games, what are y'all ranting about?

First of all, I watched the games on YouTube, and they were more my “I need something to watch” routine, AND I LOVED the direction ALL OF THEM went in, the narrative is perfect. I quite liked Jane, Kenny, Carley, Lee and every single character, the only character that ever frustrated me was Arvo.

Anyone who hates a certain character just can't accept narrative choices I swear. I saw somewhere people hated Bonnie, but liked Arvo and Mike... and what the fuck!! Are you fucking serious? Bonnie was like an ally the whole game to me, and I got the ending where she left but apologised. I replayed once, and she did that "Luke's dead because of you” shit, but like... y'all aren't hating on Arvo more than Her.... so.... These characters unfortunately made the rest of the games weak from what I've heard... but that's just people being A. mysognistic because Arvo is a male and so is Mike, and Bonnie is a woman. B. players just had too high expectations for what they wanted and they got let down majorly.

Anyway, I did mourn majorly for Carley, Christa... I never mourned Lee because the game ended that way, and we never saw the "Right after" like for example... Lilly murders Carley and it's a bang... and on the train, the group is in some aspect noticing how it all went to shit there... in some way.

But I Loved all 4 games, and I am not sure what anyone is talking about by the fact that everything after S1 sucked... because it doesn't... S2 was just as good, ngl.

Does the Governor like Andrea, like in love... Or is he just using her?

I have always wondered, because their relationship is kind of forced upon the audience, in a way that makes it justifiable as to why Andrea was thinking so slow, and peace like. Because why would Andrea choose him and Woodbury over Rick?

They clearly tried to steer her away from the S2 controversy, but having her sleep with him was a difficult decision I'd say, but it was all just so Rick and the Governor could meet, and more ect...

But did the Governor actually fall in love with her like he did with Lily in S4. She looked a lot like his wife, especially the photo he has, and burns... it looks similar to Andrea? Did he catch feelings, or did he keep her there as a political tool? Did he want her to stay because he didn't want her leaking things to Rick?

They sleep together way before Rick is ever in the picture, so that's why I am asking?
