We all know that Scott Gimple that slimy slave of AMC decided to fire Chandler Riggs because they thought that paying him in the level of adult actor salary would be problematic and costly for them who are greedy people, but they couldn't have thought a better and creative way to write him off in the main show, furthermore, Scott and the rest of them are the worse backstabbing minions Chandler Riggs was cast away despite him having recently purchased a house and being promised three more years on the show.

If they would write Carl Grimes out of the show, honestly to be fair and just they should've just pitch an idea for Carl to be taken by the CRM since the CRM subplot was being introduced during that time because of Jadis and it was still a mystery so what they should've done was instead of Carl getting bit he should've been just injured like Rick and Jadis would also be there to rescue him to be taken by the Helicopter of CRM and since after that Rick would also be taken by Jadis and delivered to the CRM ultimately, Carl would be injured so bad while saving someone and he would be injured so badly and Jadis would find him and decided to take him in the CRM as an A-Classification, Carl getting taken by the CRM and go missing would be a hell of a lot better way than killing him off with no proper sendoff and no legacy on his character

In all honestly is that all Scott Gimple and his team can do? they are all inept and cannot think colorful and bright ways to make the story a whole lot better for the show, the audience and the cast as a whole in the bigger picture.

Carl and Rick would then reunite in The Ones Who Live Spin-Off inside the CRM and while Michonne would find them there and everything happens the same the only difference is Carl is there with them so it would be more epic, impactful, powerful and uplifting and Rick wouldn't lose his hope and fighting spirit.

It would also be a more exciting and thrilling and heart-touching story for all of them since Rick would thought that Carl died but he just went missing, when Rick had gone missing Michonne had also thought he died but eventually believed he was out there somewhere so she will also seek both Rick and Carl and ultimately reunite with them and after they all defeat the CRM they would be reunited with Judith and RJ, both Carl's half-sister and half-brother.

They should've given Chandler Riggs the chance to return in the Spin-Off as a compensation for everything they took for him, because they cast him out of the show in the most untimely and unjust worst way possible

Also, Carl Grimes was supposed to be the main protagonist that would replace his father Rick Grimes just like in the comics, but that doesn't mean they cannot write a story in TWD Universe where both Rick and Carl will both live and survive, Logically, that would be better for the show, cast and the audience and everyone, they also didn't realize that they would even make more money if they spared popular and original characters, they obviously didn't follow the comics the moment they killed Carl off, so it wouldn't hurt if they will decide to spare both Rick and Carl, because truth to be told it wouldn't damage the show and it would even increase the ratings, popularity and fandom of the main show, spin-off shows and the entire TWD Universe's franchise if they spared both Rick and Carl.

The Walking Dead had been severely injured with irrepairable wound when they axed Carl Grimes that was even worse than Glenn's death, that is why Season 8 was the worst season ever in the entire series it was even worse than Season 7 and Season 9 and ultimately had been led to downfall when Rick Grimes left, the ship that had been sunked by Scott Gimple had only been replaced by Angela Kang but it was still too late when she came into the wheel because too many irreversible damages and errors had already been done by Scott Gimple from season 5 to season 8, Angela Kang should've replaced him sooner, because i think she would never kill off Carl Grimes like that let alone fire Chandler Riggs like it was nothing like he was not an original character from Season 1, Season 2 and Season 3

For all intents and purposes, the main topic here is not about what really happened between Chandler Riggs, Scott Gimple, producers, writers and the entire AMC and why he was really written off the show, the primary importance here is how the character Carl Grimes was written off and how he treated as his potential future stories and character growth as a whole was just washed away and cast off like he was not a significant evolution for Rick Grimes and the show, what matters here is they could've add better ideas for Carl Grimes but they Scott and greedy and stingy AMC decided to choose the most lazy and incompetent decision. so please keep your comments about Carl Grimes and his story and limit it to the show as much as possible but feel free to say your thoughts anyways.

I think you could all feel it too as well right? that when you see Rick Grimes you could immediately sense that you can trust him as a companion and a leader in any apocalypse because he will never let you down and betray you, he is the type of guy who never let his comrades down and he has proven it right in all of the seasons and the spin-off, he was not perfect yes but it is always on him, i mean there are many like Rick Grimes in other fictional tv series or movie but none of them has the presence of Rick like this guy would never do you wrong or hurt or betray you if you are not evil or if you are reasonable and amicable.

i know that it is also the charisma of the actor Andrew Lincoln but combining the flavor of Rick with him as a character results in the perfect recipe of that rare good guy that not everyone gets in any fictional movie or tv series character, if there is one right thing that they the first showrunner Frank Darabont and Amc ever made in their entire lives is it is casting Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes,

he was perfect to play as Rick Grimes he was born for it, it is like no matter what Rick does even when he landed that grey machete on that little idiot's head and bite that little bastard's throat and landed that red machete on that cannibal's head or even becoming an apathetic CRM soldier who he thought he lost everything in that deep within Rick has been always a kind heart and soul.

In spite of being charmed with that rare good guy charisma, Rick Grimes is also not boring or annoying to look and watch at even though it is arguably not the most interesting and entertaining character in the entire series or universe he is definitely the ultimate good guy and the one you can trust at all times

Hershel is one of the most popular, unforgettable and beloved characters in the entire universe of TWD, even though some few people out there do not like him or give him enough credit just because he was an old man, i think we can all agree that he is the coolest grandpa in the walking dead, he was a badass old timer who can fight with one leg and crutches and prosthetic leg.

He is the balance between being generous while being careful and being kind while also being ruthless, he doesn't hesitate to help people and see the good in everyone but he also wouldn't give two shits about killing evil people and putting them out of their misery as he was willing to do it to protect his family and his people and everyone he cares about, best of all is his unyielding determination to uphold humanity in the world of apocalypse, his strong wisdom and moral compass, he never gives up of a better cooperation of all humans until the end, what makes him so damn entertaining his he wasn't so boring, he also has a sense of humor and can chuckle at times while being a generous intelligent guy, he was the type of grandpa who bestows his wisdom to others and the younger people so he will motivate you to do great as well and never stop hoping but at the same time stay realistic

What makes Hershel an even way better character is his character development from season 2 to season 3-4, he started as a bit of an arrogant, apathetic, landlord pride old man because he was still stuck in his own bubble and didn't yet see the reality of the apocalypse in which they all live in, he was still a regular farmer who thought that they were still living in the normal society and thinks the walker virus is just sickness and can be cured immediately and the apocalypse will be over quickly, he was confident but naive, he was still a farmer who cares mores about his own farm, land, cattle and his family limited to this own daughter and people living in his house and didn't want to truly cooperate and work with Rick and the others.

He went from a boring old rigid arrogant old landlord man who only cares about his own bloodline and farm from a cool old proletariat funny grandpa who cares about the good of everyone and treats everyone like his family.

But he still saved and rescued Carl's life and give everyone a food, water and shelter to live in, so i think Hershel is truly a kind heart and soul at nature, he was just concealing it because of his fear, frustration and insecurity and the loss of his family and people at the hands of walkers, but he ends up growing and warming up to everyone as the time passes with the more he spends time with the group and he was smart enough to see that Rick and the group are kind and capable people to get along with and he becomes an even more reasonable and empathetic old man than he ever did before.

The best and pinnacle of Hershel's character is seen throughout season 3 and season 4, Hershel really becomes the kind cool badass old man that we were all waiting for to see, Hershel becomes the grandfather to everyone in the group and he treats everyone as his family and everyone feels the same way about him, almost everyone respects him even the bad guys like The Governor and governor even said he was a better man than Rick, Furthermore, people from the enemies side like Milton quickly like him when they first met, that is what we want from Dale but he ends up dying before he becomes that guy. it is also amazing how he shouted at Shane back in season 2 and Shane was flabbergasted lol

Hershel is also better than all of the characters from season 5 to season 11 not joking and not overrating him but just telling the truth, he was a way better quality and realistic than almost all of them combined, the characters had started to lose quality and became less interesting starting season 5 and has ultimately become a joke in seasons 7 to season 11

Because Hershel was kind but not like Dale nice enough to be naive and stupid to fail to see threats and destroy the evil people, Hershel was amicable and peaceful but he can also be a capable warrior when he needs to be, Hershel would shoot The Governor because he needs to, Hershel was also the doctor of the group not just for the physical illnesses and injuries but also for their mental and spiritual health, that is why he was awesome. he healed Carl, Daryl, Michonne, Glenn, Rick and many more others, i think we all would want a Hershel or better more of them in any kind of an apocalypse if they ever happen.

Hershel wasn't just a good old man or a doctor, he was the best and a badass awesome cool old man that is necessary for every kinds of situation in any apocalypse, he was also a down to earth cosmopolitan guy as he accepts everyone regardless of the differences of people's opinions, beliefs and ideologies and sides he was trying to hope for a better future for everyone so Humanity would exist and succeed.

Hershel was also great in interpersonal intelligence as he has a great sight and intuition about other people's intentions, potential, strength and weaknesses and many more, Hershel was a brilliant councilor.

His ultimate weapon besides his precious unlimited ammo of shotgun is his Epic Fliptop rap lines quotes speech that exploded and one of them won against Rick and Maggie.

Hershel Greene- "Listen, dammit! you step outside, you risk your life, you take a drink of water, you risk your life! and nowadays you breathe, and you risk your life. Every moment now, you don't have a choice the only thing you can choose is what you risking it for! "

We talked too much about many of Rick's mistakes and worst decisions that he ever did before and we are all aware of those errors but Rick was just a human too and not a perfect leader also we can't entirely be sure that if we are on his position in those situations as a Leader if we would've done better and differently, but going past through all that, What is the best thing that Rick made that lives up to this day and a choice that benefits everyone and the show entirely.

Feel free to say your thoughts, Anything can be expressed from RIck's minor to major choices throughout the entire series.
