Isn't that because most of the original cast are now dead and the only ones left are additions brought in later and therefore severely departed from Kirkman's original comic? A comic I've heard ends badly compared to other long running series, of which Kirkman's other comic, Invincible, was one of. That one actually did end well although I expect the future cartoon seasons to be a clusterfuck what with all the rape, pregnancy, murder, betrayal, and time skips stories that Mark will be subjected to.
They already fucked up one character in Invincible: Amber. In the comic, She is supposed to be a side of Mark that wants to be human. In the cartoon, she’s a royal cunt. She hasn’t ruined the show but is he will kill it later when she becomes more prominent.
Amber isn't in the comic for all that much, though. She's Mark's first gf and someone who asked him out without knowing who he really was so Mark more or less fell into the relationship with her but then things get complicated when he leans more into being a hero and spends more time around Eve. Making Amber less desirable, as well as race changing her, does little else other than make it far easier for the audience to dismiss her as most won't care for the relationship like happened in the comic, albeit probably still not as much as they could have done.
The race change will make her later domestic abuse plot all the more stereotypical, however.
