![]() Some characters deserved a little bit more development before succumbing to the zombie apocalypse. However, there are a number of characters who felt a bit underused before their time was up on The Walking Dead. The same can be said for characters such as Hershel Greene, Glenn Rhee, Deanna Monroe, and Lori Grimes. Fans were able to identify his key traits and would not soon forget the impact he had on the series and the characters who survived beyond his time. It didn't help that he was sleeping with his best friend's wife, even if he did think him dead at the time.įor Shane, a character portrayed by the now-Punisher Jon Bernthal, the time on The Walking Dead was sufficient enough to give him a memorable amount of growth and development. While he seemed to be the most prepared to protect everyone from the threats created by the zombie apocalypse, his methods of expressing such an ability were a bit unconventional and unpredictable for some fans and characters to buy in. Fans were conflicted in their opinion of Rick Grimes' former police partner. If I were its stars, I would go into this carefully and with demands.For example, Shane Walsh became a fan-favorite character over the course of a couple of seasons. Clearly the Rick and Michonne has many huge problems to overcome, including the fact that it’s being written and produced by the same people who ran The Walking Dead into the ground, and by a company that seems to not place much value in quality control. This headline is totally preposterous as well, despite the fact that I wrote it. What do you think, dearest readers of mine? Let me know on Twitter or Facebook. what exactly is the point of this beyond fan-service for the Rick-Michonne shipper crowd (who have somehow seen in this coupling all the things I find absent)? Zero chemistry, a preposterous Michonne departure, years in both the real world and Walking Dead universe passed, presumably none of the other cast. I’m not sold, and it will take a great deal to sell me when the time comes. They were together for an insanely short amount of in-fiction time, and yet she abandons her children to go find him years later based on a flimsy clue? In fact, Michonne spends more time apart from Rick entirely offscreen during the time-jump after his disappearance than she ever spent with him. We barely even see how they become lovers to begin with back in Season 6 (Rick does a pretty radical about-face after his obsession with Jessie). Here’s the thing, in the larger story of The Walking Dead Rick and Michonne spent more time (at least on-screen) as traveling companions than lovers. ![]() This would allow them not just to reunite with one another, but with all their kids-as well as all their old friends, many of whom we know for a fact won’t die. If the show’s creators don’t even know if they are enemies, lovers, victims or victors what can we expect from these six episodes?īesides, as I noted previously, wrapping up the Rick/Michonne story arc in the main series would be more emotionally resonant. This does little to assuage my fears over Rick and Michonne’s glaring lack of chemistry or any real romance to speak of. Can they find each other and who they were in a place and situation unlike any they’ve ever known before? Are they enemies? Lovers? Victims? Victors? Without each other, are they even alive - or will they find that they, too, are the Walking Dead?” ![]() And ultimately, a war against the living. Rick and Michonne are thrown into another world, built on a war against the dead. “This series presents an epic love story of two characters changed by a changed world. ![]() Then, somehow, when she finds her long-lost love, the show needs to convince us that their love is in fact that brilliant and awesome that through every trial and tribulation it will not just survive, but burn even brighter. We need to believe that Michonne would leave two young children behind to go on a wild goose chase to find Rick, who has been missing for several years at this point, somewhere out in the zombie apocalypse, because her love for him is so strong and so pure and so powerful that she had no other choice. So here’s the problem that this spinoff has to overcome. The episode itself was (mostly) quite bad, but her departure-which required her to leave her children behind in the middle of a fight to the death with the Whisperers-was what truly upset me about the character’s exit. Rick's decision-making is called into question not. When Michonne left The Walking Dead I called her final episode ‘utterly ridiculous in every way’ writing. in the name of protective paternalism, Rick uses violence to protect Jessie from her abusive husband. ![]()
