I agree 100% actually, and hated how they threw away the world building that Darabont managed to introduce in Season 1.
I stuck around a little while longer, to see if they could actually pull off what the comic managed to in terms of great antagonists and interesting personal conflicts (largely in the form of The Governor). But the show never really found its footing after losing Darabont imo. S2 was a fucking boring slog, then they went on to screw up the Governor and every change they made to the characters of the comics was worse and worse. The women characters were insufferable which is again disappointing because the comic actually had some really good ones.
In fact, the show was so bad it killed any interest I had to finish reading the comic lol, knowing that Kirkman was supporting this shit full-steam
Now that sounds a hell of a lot better than the shit we got, with more filler than DBZ’s original run (“WHATS IN THE BARN” for what was it, 24 episodes? Fuck right off).
Instead of that, which could have been really interesting vinettes which would have probably tied into eachother and the mainline group eventually (like we saw with Morgan kind of), we got, what are they up to now, 6 fucking spin off shows? I’ve never met someone in my entire life who has discussed watching a single episode of any of those shows, despite knowing tons of people who saw at least some of the main show.
Maybe I’m just exaggerating (I do that a lot), or maybe I read something back when the main one was ending about upcoming shows...there was also that lame hour long commentary show which they tried to make appealing. I couldn’t imagine being some TWD superfan who tried to absorb all of it - it strikes me as some kind of sick irony thinking of how zombified that person would have to be to enjoy that lol
