Mod Post A small change to posting requirements

47 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I wanted to let everyone know about a small change we've had to make to the subreddit.

Due to a recent influx of racist and otherwise inflammatory posts, including posts being made by newly created accounts, we've enabled a 5-day account-age requirement for submitting posts.

I know this is an inconvenience for legitimate new users, and I genuinely apologize for that. We don't want to put unnecessary restrictions on people who are simply joining the community and want to participate. Unfortunately, we've had someone repeatedly create new accounts to get around bans and continue posting racist content, and at this point we needed to take an additional step to keep the subreddit from becoming a target for that behavior.

This restriction only applies to new posts. It is not intended to prevent people from participating normally once their account meets the requirement, and existing members shouldn't notice any difference.

Hopefully this is something we won't need to keep in place forever. We'll continue to monitor the situation and can reconsider the restriction if the influx of bad-faith accounts dies down.

Thanks for your understanding, and sorry again for the inconvenience. We're just trying to keep this community welcoming and enjoyable for everyone.

It's Honestly a Shame How Little We Got to Know Jesus

33 Upvotes

I honestly feel like Jesus had so much potential when he was first introduced. The dude was funny, smart, incredibly skilled in a fight, and somehow managed to sneak into places like it was nothing. His first few episodes made him seem like he was going to become one of the most important characters in the show.

But after a while, it felt like the writers didn't really know what to do with him. He barely got any meaningful development, and most of his potential was just left sitting there. I still think he could've been one of the best characters in TWD if they had actually given him more to work with.

It's crazy because I remember being so excited whenever he showed up, and then eventually he just felt like another character the show didn't know how to use. Am I the only one who thinks Jesus deserved WAY better? 😭

Eugene Porter why didn't he get punished for the walker guts incident?

Eugene is a weak asshole who's influenced by whichever group he's with at the time and a war criminal who deserves to hang more than Gregory ever did. Gregory's full list of crimes vs Eugene's

Gregory attempted murder and solicitation to murder

Eugene (I'm not sure because the show never says so this is not canon)

6 -8 directly from the walker guts weapons

Tobin

Kurt

Dr Dana

Total murdered: 9 - 11

Hmmmmmm now who deserved to die under the law same order that Rick was trying so hard to bring back

Don't come for me I'm just asking, not trolling

Did Negan actually become good and have a change of heart, or was he stripped from power for so long , he was forced to do otherwise?

Sam and Fam Spoiler

16 Upvotes

I think I might be one of the only audience members who just feels terrible for Jessie, Ron, and especially Sam. I'm not questioning anyone who wasn't a fan of them, but I am kinda curious as to why everyone acts like these characters were just stupid and naive instead of them being victims of abuse.

First off, we have to keep in mind that none of them were "safe". Yes, they were behind the walls, never had to really worry about walkers, had food/water, and community. But, their biggest threat was in their house. They were trapped with an abusive father/husband, they could not escape or get help from a professional. Living with an abuser in the normal world is terrifying, I don't think it becomes any less horrible when you are also having to live amongst the undead. Abuse effects every part of your life. Why would anyone expect them to deal with things normally?

Sam was also literally a child? I don't understand why everyone expects him to be more like Carl. At the start, Carl was not a badass. Unfortunately, he had to learn how to survive this world. Instead of feeling bad that Carl had to loose his innocence much sooner, people are mad that Sam still might have some? Isnt that what we should want for children? For them to be protected and kept safe? Also, lets be honest. Carol screwed him over BIG time. I'm not saying he would be super tough if she did not scare him, but a grown women telling a child that he is going to die alone out in the woods is NOT how I would bring a child back down to reality.

Speaking of Carol. She was also in an abusive relationship. After the death of her husband and Sophia, it took her awhile to become the badass we know. How does anyone expect Sam and fam to have the same breakthrough in a matter of days when it took other characters literal seasons to become that way. Idk, I just felt bad for them.

Ron is a little different, but I found him interesting. It is not surprising that a child who experienced abuse grows into having some of the same abusive tendencies. Sadly, that is how the cycle of abuse of continues. It's upsetting, but not shocking. When we first meet him, he seems like a pretty normal teen. It makes me feel bad he was never given the chance to escape and heal from his trauma.

I would have loved to see life at the prison explored between season 3 and 4. Seeing the community thrive before it all fell apart.

Rick isn't that great of a hand-to-hand fighter—he’s a tactician who fights dirty (except the anomaly that is Pete)

23 Upvotes

Honestly, if you look at Rick’s actual 1v1 track record throughout the show, he loses or struggles in almost every fair fistfight.
Just look at how his major encounters actually played out:

Shane: In their first fight, Rick struggles heavily against Shane’s brute strength and only walks away with a draw when walkers interrupt. In their second fight, Rick doesn't even try to outbrawl him—he talks Shane down, gets him to lower his guard, and stabs him.

Tyreese: Rick only managed to get clean hits in because Daryl was actively restraining Tyreese.

The Governor: Rick got completely destroyed here. People always excuse it because Rick was shot in the leg, but the Governor was shot in the arm and only had one eye, and he still dominated Rick and nearly choked him to death until Michonne intervened.

Joe (The Claimers): Joe had Rick completely pinned, restrained, and beaten. Rick only survived because he resorted to biting Joe's throat out.

Gareth: Not even a fight. Gareth was already on his knees surrendering when Rick hacked him to death with the machete.

Abraham: While they never threw punches, look at their church standoff. Rick subtly puts his hand in his pocket for a weapon—showing even Rick knew he couldn't beat Abraham in a pure fistfight.

Jesus: Jesus effortlessly outmanoeuvred and defeated both Rick and Daryl at the same time—no contest, and he wasn't even trying to hurt them.

Negan: Rick was struggling in their fights until he pulled the exact same move he used on Shane—talking Negan down, lowering his guard, and slitting his throat.

The hard anomaly: Pete.
On paper, Pete held every physical advantage—standing 6'4 to Rick's 5'10, well-fed, and going all out in a blind rage while Rick was intentionally holding back. Unlike his standoff with Abraham, Rick actually had a gun on him the entire time during the Pete fight and never once reached for it. He also never resorted to gouging Pete's eyes out or biting his throat like he did against Joe. If Rick was genuinely struggling or felt threatened, he could have easily drawn his weapon or fought dirty—instead, he chose a straight brawl because he knew he had the upper hand.

Rick also understood that easily beating Alexandria's only surgeon indoors would be a political disaster, since Deanna was ignoring the abuse. Even while holding back, Rick broke free from a wall pin and threw an enraged 6'4 man straight through a window—which is no easy task. Outside in the street, Rick even let Pete flip him over so Pete would lash out in front of the crowd. The exact second Pete hit Jessie, exposing his abuse publicly, Rick instantly reversed him and choked him out. Even Pete knew he couldn't win a fair rematch—cowardly showing up the next episode with Michonne's katana instead of his fists proves he subconsciously admitted he couldn't beat Rick in a fair hand-to-hand fight.

The takeaway:
Aside from Pete, Rick’s real strength was never being an action-hero martial artist like Jesus, Daryl, or Morgan. He wins through deception, brutality, and fighting dirty when his back is against the wall—which honestly makes him a much more realistic protagonist. At the end of the day, Rick is more of a survivor than a fighter.

The governor is the biggest loser on the entire show Spoiler

31 Upvotes

I've recently started rewatching the show (much to my enjoyment!) and have just crossed the mark to season 4. However, only now am I noticing how the governor is, despite playing a great psychopath villain, an absolute loser. If you take every interaction the governor has with the prison group and you compare net losses and gains, he is losing absolutely every single one of them.

S3E8, the prison group raids woodbury and kills some guys on the governor's side, they only lose 1 guy (RIP Oscar).

Same episode, Michonne clears his private room, kills his daughter, slices one of his eyes, leaves without permanent damages.

S3E9, Governor captures Daryl, wants to let Merle and Daryl fight and is made a clown of, when the prison group smokes their arena and captures both of them without losses while people die on the governor's side again.

S3E10 with his Axel kill and the biters in the car is THE ONLY interaction he comes out of as a winner, however it's barely an advantage since Axel wasn't a valuable fighter to eliminate, guy didn't even know how to use a gun.

S3E13, meets Rick, gains absolutely nothing, loses Milton's trust due to him having a good talk with Hershel

S3E15, is attacked by Merle, loses 8 people, kills 1

S3E16, full scale assault on the prison, no kills or injuries being made, kills 95% of his soldiers for no reason at all

Not to mention he loses Merle, Milton, Andrea, Ty, Sasha and probably even more of his previously loyal members, displaying a complete inability to control even a single (non npc) person.

This guy is a complete joke. Literally the ONLY thing of strategic advantage he has going for himself is the numbers and he manages to lose this one advantage (which could have been enough to win, tbh) against himself?!

Absolute cinema, this dude. You may like the governor as a psychopathic villain but guys like Negan just make for a so much more serious and strategic threats.
