Lately I've seen people complaining about how unrealistic it was that Michonne found Rick's belongings in TWD.
In TWD?
My buddy pal friend you mean in TWD?
The show where a comatose man wakes up in a zombie apocalypse?
And then is helped just in time by a survivor (by the way they meet again way later by accident) and then finds a group of survivors that somehow is the same group of survivors his family is with?
AND THEN when his son is shot by accident, the man that shot him is luckily living with a VETERINARIAN that can save Carl?
One of my least favorite lines in season two, maybe the entire series. Way to undo some of Kenny's most important character development in just a few words.
I really resonate with Rick on the personal level because me too when they took Carl from me I was like fuck it, this show end there. I'm not going back to this bullshit.
honestly season seven just made me feel so bad for shannon diaz. even in death, that woman cannot escape from the boxes that she’s been forced into. obviously i can’t really blame Christopher. he was seven when his mother died. That’s going to have some not so good effects on a kid’s well being. add that to the fact that christopher has had a long history of being left behind, it’s no wonder that he ends up trying to be the one who does the leaving for once this season. he’s a traumatized thirteen year old kid. of course he’s not exactly capable of seeing his mom for who she was. he barely got the chance to know her before she was gone. never mind the fact that she died in a tragic vehicle accident and was forced to leave his life forever because of that. all that he cares about is that he loved her and she’s left him.
to eddie, shannon was the great love of his life. she is the standard that he holds all other romantic relationships to. never mind the fact that they weren’t together for most of their marriage. never mind the fact that shannon clearly stated that she didn’t want to be with him by stating her intentions to file for divorce. that doesn’t matter. because shannon’s own personhood doesn’t matter after she’s gone. shannon diaz is the love of eddie’s life, but she never intended for him to be hers.
to the diaz parents, shannon was a she devil. she up and left christopher behind and left eddie. she drove eddie to move out of El Paso with chris. never mind the fact that she didn’t know they were leaving texas when they did. even when she came back, it wasn’t enough. because she died shortly after, and she left again (this time not of her own volition). even now, six years after her death, they cannot let her rest in peace. she is blamed for the kim situation despite the fact that she’d never met her and has literally been in her grave and buried for six full years by this point. to helena and ramon diaz, she will always be the cause of all of the chaos in christopher’s life. she will always be to blame for everything.
god how tragic for that woman. she even stated before her death that she wanted to take the time to figure out who she was as a person. as just shannon, not Shannon Diaz, Eddie’s Wife and Christopher’s Mother. she never got the chance to figure out who she was. and even in death, the few decisions that she got the chance to make about who she was and what she wanted have been ignored to keep her locked up in exactly the same way that drove her to flee texas in the first place. six years after she was dead and buried, she’s still stuck playing those same roles: as Shannon the Missing Mother, Shannon the Soulmate, and Shannon the She Demon.
Here's one of my twdg hot takes: I would've rather had Kenny and Lilly never return after season one over how they were handled in season two and season four respectively.
Kenny's arc was ended perfectly in season one, and bringing him back not only ruined that, it completely overshadowed all the new characters from season two as he took over the story completely.
Lilly is such a complicated character, so it doesn't feel right to me that she becomes an outright villain in season four. I'll always be disappointed that we couldn't properly "side" with Lilly in season one as she always snaps and then leaves the group, but that was still better than what she turned into in season four.
