Does this show seem especially pointless to anyone else? There's no real plot to it. Rick and the gang just go from settlement to settlement fucking shit up or wandering in the forest for reasons.

But it's all pointless. There's never going to be a payoff or anything really. Is this supposed to be a commentary on life?
>>
The plot is a bunch of people trying to survive

I'm not saying it's a good plot, but there is one
>>
Yeah, that's how it feels to me. I stopped watching it after they brought the Governor back, made him interesting and sympathetic again, and then made him do a heel-turn for no good reason, again.

I don't think it's meant to be a statement about life, though. I think it's just bad writing.
>>
>>63049474
It's shit.
>>
>>63049474
There isn't a plot. The whole show is about these group of survivors trying to make it, and failing to rebuild over and over. There's probably some deeper stuff to it but I'm too dumb to pick up on any of it.

I will agree though, this fucking season has been terrible so far. It centers around ONE damn day. The plot is going absolutely nowhere. Hopefully something actually happens next half.
>>
After reading the comic I gave the show a try and it's so shit. Every episode has like 3 "this is the way things are now!" speeches. More filler than a shonen anime.

It's supposed to be about the difficult decisions you have to make. You're not supposed to get a big payoff, you're supposed to struggle and enjoy the few moments of sincere happiness they can eke out in a terrible world.

I don't get why Scott Gimple is doing this. S04E01 to S06E07 has seriously spanned like a few weeks, most of that the hundreds of miles between Georgia and Virginia covered off-screen.

It kind of works since Alexandria has mostly been spared any kind of hardship.
>>
Now that they are in Alexandria the show kind of has a purpose, and the current arc in the comics is gonna end up in something good because will have thousands of people added in the commnunity.

The problem with the show is that it had way too much settlementes, in the comics was way straight forward
>>
The problem is a tipping point issue.

If you divide society into two groups, those trying to work together to better themselves, and those trying to parasitize the work of others there is a tipping point where onebside or the other "wins" eventually. It is essentially Vikings vs. Castles. People who build communities versus those who attack communities for resources. Eventually one aidebor the other will overwhelm. The Road shows the side where raiders "win" and everyone dies out, just for example.

The issue with the show is to maintain drama stability cannot be kept. The formula, I. The comic and show, boils down to:
>group tries to build a community
>they keep out the zombies
>everything is going good for a while
>assholes show up
>they fuck everything up and kill half the cast
>repeat

It goes stail after a while.

this is correct, because it's thematically out of place within the walking dead universe.

The mistake they are making with this show is they are dragging out the subplots for way too long. Nothing should be more than a half a season: the farm, woodbury, terminus, alexandria, negan, whisperers, etc..

They drag shit out way too long.

It's a survival show.

It's a post-apocalyptic survival show.

Show about what'd happen after the zombie apocalypse, and it's damn entertaining at that.

Zombies no longer are the threat, humans are the threat, and watching the various ways people manipulate each other, build settlements, form gangs, form a community, or bond in general, and evolve as human beings, is pretty interesting.
>>
>>63052303
This. The writing and logic of the show is often shit, but the character development is interesting and well done. Rick's evolution in particular is the best thing about TWD - how he has gone from naive pussy to hardcore ruthless crazy man.

You can see his breaking point was when he bit that guy's throat out after seeing Carl almost get raped. GOAT scene.

This is exactly what the problem is; the entire show as become idiotic filler. Season 4 was shit until the reintroduction of the Governor and was shit again after the mid-season finale until the very last episode. Season 5 was good for the first 3 episodes then sputtered off. Season 6 so far has had 2 good episodes and tons of straight up filler. The point we are at in the story right now could have been 4 episodes into season 6 and we're going to be 8 episodes in on Sunday. The come up this the most boring storylines and fail to realize they get the best ratings when cool shit happens, the absolute stagnation of this show is infuriating.

At the pace Season 6B goes we'll be done with All Out War season 8 finale tops. Right now I see them trying for 9 or 10 fucking seasons. A New Beginning is like the beginning to a sequel series so it'll be odd as hell to give us two seasons of that and somehow tie in up with a pretty bow. Where the comic story is heading doesn't look too considerate of AMC's budget concerns. The story is really becoming Game of Thrones in its scope.

>there are people who don't understand the walking fucking dead

You goofballs. It's not just a zombie survival show, it's a human drama with some zombies in it.

It's a show about conflict. It's always been about conflict. The entire point of the zombies is that they personify mortality and death, and the survivors are trying to avoid/fight that death at any cost. Since Rick has woken up from his coma, he's been fighting one thing after another. It's like pottery.

The conflict with the Governor emphasized the MAIN POINT of the show. Rick's speech to the Governor's people is the entire point of the show. The whole "We're not too far gone, we all can change" thing is the end goal. Even in a world where fucking magic zombies exist, people can get together and, for once, not kill each other.

I guarantee that the show will end when Rick and Co. finally find an enemy that they can make peace with, instead of kill. They'll start to build a community and it will seem like there's hope in the new world. The end of conflict is the end of the show. That's the goal.

What gets me is that time passes and most of the time they have vehicles and yet they seem to just roam around in a 1 mile square area.

At this rate even if they went on foot they'd be three states over.

And why aren't they attempting to reach the coast and move to some island where it's much easier to take control of.

Hell, they can find a map and figure out where to go specifically instead of bumbling around.

At least S1 had that progress from urban environment to country to the CDC and the plot felt like it was larger in scope.

Ever since they they just pick one location and milk it for a whole season.

I miss the season 1 zombies, they were much more threatening. I've been rewatching it and they're so different. I had forgotten that at some point the zombies were actually a threat

>can climb fairly well

>smart enough to use objects like rocks to break glass
>Morgan's wife hangs around their house and tries using the doorknob to get inside which implies the zombies can retain some sort of instinctual memories making them more interesting
>skulls aren't soft, a baseball bat isn't going to take one down in one swing

The zombies just piss me off now. They're so slow and squishy that the only way for people to die to them is to either get cornered by more than 10 of them (unless you're glen) or get bit by a stealth zombie, which is usually what happens.

well, they certainly don't climb, or run, but you have a point in that the season 1 zombies are pretty much entirely different creatures to 2 onwards, as they use rocks, doors and all that. you could say that it was a thematic decision, related to the survivors becoming more competent, or a narrative one, implying they grow weaker and dumber over time, but it's just that season 1's showrunner had a retarded idea for zombies.

THE SURVIVORS are the walking dead. There is no point.

In the comics, eventually the story shifts to being about the sort of civilization that rises out of the zombie apocalypse. The world that returns is very different from the old one, but it is still a society.

But right now, the show is just about survival and depression. Basically is has no plot, and that's sort of the point.

They have god-awful writers and AMC are shameless jews, that's the problem this show has.

>>
>>63057376
Check out season 1 episode 2. They definitely scale a chain link fence and they're pretty much running before that. They're not as fast as a living human but enough that you have to run as well and can't casually saunter in front of them like the group does later on when travelling.

They are kind of retarded though, now that I think about it. If anything I wish they kept their speed and none of the other shit so that way they're actually kind of threatening but not as silly. I just don't like how they basically have to place a herd that somehow no one notices next to whatever characters we're viewing to make danger happen. Then again I guess it's not supposed to be the running dead, although that would be far superior in my opinion.

I guess I just miss the zombies bringing some tension to the show. Now i get annoyed when someone gets bitten because the zombies are so loud and slow there's no excuse. Yet Tyreese still manages to get bit because the zombie happened to be just out of sight, not making a peep, and had stealth boots on.
>>
>>63049474

My problem with the show at this point is that there's just nothing of interest left. It's been this way since Season 4.

In Seasons 1-3, it was about meeting new people, secrets, and the dynamics between all of the characters. There was a lot going on, and a lot of little things between characters that showed some level of complex relationships.

But we've hit a "blank slate" point. All of those secrets got revealed. Many of the character's stories ended/they died...so...what now? There's no intrigue left. The beginning of the series kinda slowly built up secrets and issues that needed to be resolved among the strangers, but now since we're mid season and there's nothing to build off of...we get these really short lived hamfisted stories. Like that fucko blonde kid who wants to kill Carl. There's no real buildup or anything interesting, he just fought with Carl once and now he wants to kill him.

I honestly don't know how they recover at this point. We're left with nothing but bland interchangeable characters like token gay Tara and skinny black girl Sasha. Can you think of a single interesting thing going on with either of them? No. Because there isn't. It's the same with the rest of the cast.

Now compare that to something like Shane or Hershel from season 2 and it's a world of difference. They've just hit a writing dead end because there's nothing left to learn about most of the characters we've met. Their stories have already been told and resolved.

There's so many interesting things they could do with it, like look into what's going on in the rest of the world or trying to figure out how all of this started and/or trying to stop the outbreak.

But nope, it's just gotta be an excuse for personal drama and lots of repetitive shoot em' up crap. The only real suspense is wondering if any characters are going to die.

What I don't get is did the writers forget about pic related. He was actually right all along, and was the real reason why Rick changed so much from good boy sheriff.

Also were all supposed to assume that Judith is actually Rick's kid since they look so much alike. The one thing I actually liked about the comics was that it was heavily implied it was Shanes.

How do you mean? There's no reason for Rick to bring up him. Would make more sense to talk about Governor than Shane Kuc.

But the human drama is and always has been shit

They're in a different situation than us.
They have less food, they're dehydrated, completely worn out, and suffering from PTSD.
These are not rational people anymore.

If it makes you feel any better
It starts to become about rebuilding civilization. There are other settlements like Alexandria, they start creating trade routes. One of the settlements demands supplies for protection, like the mob. Rick goes to war with them. Then theres a time skip.

Don't know fuck all about the comics but I swear one of my friends told me that at some point the virus mutates which turns them into running zombies.

the doctor sews him up so he wears an eyepatch and shit
that's why the doctor woman has been built up so much to have the moment where she saves carl lol xd

I'm sick of Rick's group. And I hated the LA setting in Fear the Walking Dead.

I want to see what other survivors are doing in the Rocky Mountain states and other locales. Like biker gangs going to war with communities of cowboys and ranchers. Cartel dons carving out kingdoms in Mexico and invading the Southeast US.

Darabont made something unique for TV
They fucked him out of it because of man babby kirkman's vision
Some dickhead bombed season 3
Gimple was brought in the salvage the mess
Then season 5 and 6 became "The Walking Dead Anime"

It's stale shit. I'd rather watch Into the Badlands

HERES THE REAL ISSUE WITH THE WALKING DEAD

THE DIALOGUES

MY GOD THE FUCKING POINTLESS DIALOGUES

SERIOUSLY THIS FUCKING SHOW HAS THE WORST DIALOGUES I HAVE EVER SEEN MY FUCKING GOD

EVERY FUCKING TIME YOU GET A RANDOM ASS FUCKING STUPID SCENE OUT OF NOWHERE

SOMETIMES EVEN RIGHT DURING THE ACTION

EXAMPLE OF A DIALOGUE

>"WE MUST BE STRONG"
>"I KNOW WE HAVE TO SURVIVE"
>"WE WILL SURVIVE BUT WE HAVE TO DO IT TOGETHER"
>"THE FUTURE IS IMPORTANT"
>"OUR FUTURE IS IMPORTANT"

The show is about niggers

The whole point of that arc is that he was too far gone to stop killing, he just managed to channel his sociopathic urges in a more "positive" direction

There was actually a point to Rick, Hershel, and the Governor's arcs in season 4 part 1 but you were probably too busy complaining about the show to notice

Literally no one said you're supposed to assume it was Rick's kid instead of Shane's

The entire point was that it was Shane's baby and Rick had to deal with that

I don't even know why I bother correcting people in Walking Dead threads, two thirds of you people are apparently too retarded to even understand the most heavy-handed, unsubtle show on television right now
>>
>>63059797
Not him but everything else has been done to death and the show and comics are retreading the same ground, Kirkman just adjusts the dials on the next psychopath leader of group x that Rick has to deal with and throws in a bigger herd of zombies.

Why wouldn't there be someone trying to figure out how to stop the reanimation process? The Woodbury autistic guy was trying to figure it out.

Always had this theory that Rick is the reanimation process gone awry, he died in the hospital and woke up from turning but his organs all functioned as normal.

It's the reason why I can't enjoy anything post-apocalyptic, the world is gonna be fucked no matter what protagonists do, so that means characters will never truly achieve anything apart from surviving to live another day. It's not the lack of happy ending or bleakness that annoys me, but lack of real closure and ever-present status quo

>Morgan's wife hangs around their house and tries using the doorknob to get inside which implies the zombies can retain some sort of instinctual memories making them more interesting

That wasn't Morgan's house. She just somehow magically knew he was in there.

Oh right, good point. Well there's that little girl zombie in the opening that picks up a stuffed rabbit or something and walks around with it so there's that.

There's also something about the way they express suspicion when Rick and Glen cover themselves in guts that conveys a sense of very basic intelligence. I don't think the zombies should be very intelligent of course but they just acted a little more interesting, like there was a tiny shred of humanity left in them which was pretty unsettling to me.

>>63068508
What you don't understand is that there are countless "apocalypses" that happened throughout actual history already. The entire concept of an apocalypse is extremely anthropocentric in itself, the world will always keep spinning if it's not some sort of cosmic-scale shit hitting the fan. The true thrill in watching post-apocalyptic media is to see how the characters struggle to keep up the torch of humanity and civilized life in a deeply hostile environment, since this is the future requirement for rebuilding everything in the centuries to come.

Just started season 2. Bretty gud so far. It took me 3 attempts to get passed the first episode.

there's a lot of reasons why this is the truth
the most evident is that they're both a character's arc driven stories, and while BB has only two (maybe three) characters whose arc is central in the narration, TWD has tens of them

S2 is often slated to be one of the worst seasons, but it's one of my favorites. Shane is arguably the best character/actor on the show, and he's involved in many epic moments in the season. Also people say the plot moved too slow/issues were dragged on for too long but it wasn't the case for me because i binged it a matter of days. I guess it was more intolerable when you had to wait a week to each next episode.

When will this meme end? Z Nation is contrived, try-hard schlock from the creators of Sharknado. The Walking Dead isn't high patrician art, but at least it's not Z Nation.
