Why do they even care about making Morgan's timeline make sense between the two shows?

They clearly don't give a gently caress about anything else creatively... so just make Morgan be on the show and give zero explanations.

lol if ftwd goes farther in the future than twd this next season

I'm sure that won't confuse anyone

What if they piss Morgan off and he kills all of them and the show?

But think of all the bottle episode flashbacks they could have!

Let’s place our bets that if there is a massive time jump, the group will still be Madison, Nick, Alycia, Strand and El Salvidad (who got over Strand shooting him in the face at some point). No additions, no losses. Just, maybe one of them has a gnarly scar on their face now.

Let’s just hope Walker was dumb enough to rejoin the group, just for the sake of Morgan getting him all confused.

‘No, Walker’s siphoning fuel.’

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.
Gimple and Kirkman are maybe the least competent people in show business right now based on how they've handled everything. It's kind of astonishing.

Looking at their career is like that deer in the carnival. Literally unbelievable.

It'd just turn into Madison sparing Negan's life and letting him do some horrible poo poo for the whole season, before finally offing him in the end.

Cripes, it'd be show Andrea with Governor all over again.

Well I watched this past season in real time but it was just... so bad. I didn't bother to read the thread. However, because of a deeply engrained sense of self-loathing, I have read the thread and now tepidly await the second half.

Thank you for your service, Moist Turtleneck. God has abandoned us, but you are our light.

I barely remember Coral getting bit and just don't care. I hope he lives because I have grown to hate and disrespect myself much like this show hates and disrespects its
audience.

the only scenes I clearly remember now are Shooting Glass, Negan talking with the priest, Jerry Axe Moment, and the miserable stupidity of the hilltop ambush, where they were inexplicably ambushed and then inexplicably let go like a bad gi joe episode, because I was actively angry at every player in that moment.

You forgot

*Tiger throws zombies like rag dolls until it decides to give up and stand in the center just growling until it dies.*

I'm sorry but you could get 10 body builders and ask them to wrestle a Tiger and 10 body builders are gonna get hosed, let along a bunch of slagging half melted zombies.

I'm not saying "Oh the Tiger should have been a badass and took on the whole zombie army!" In the comic panels I saw it looked like HUNDREDS of the things, and it was fighting until the end. On the show, it frustrating because there is no loving tiger, anywhere, that would just chill like that when like two swipes of it's paw and it could have just walked on out. Then again, the humans all stand perfectly still and scream when they are bitten too, rather than you know, thrashing and punching.

I've actually looked up a bunch of comic panels and I feel really, really bad for comic fans

PRO: They've taken whole scenes, concepts, and plot lines from the comics
CON: They've run them through a loving paper shredder and made them all dumb as gently caress

It's like movie plot holes created by deleted scenes. The breaking glass made sense in the comics, but there no reason for it here because of Daryl. So it happens "like the comics" but not for the reason and it is not explained so it is just like "What the flying gently caress?"

The same thing goes for even the dialogue. Believe it or not, the line "I hope you have your making GBS threads pants on," turns out it's from the comic. It's not Shakespeare, but as an off-handed 'oh gently caress' comment to Dwight rather than some weird taunt-threat-whatever it felt way more human.

It just goes on and on and on, they gently caress up every single good thing the comic has going, just close enough to be inferior and completely confused about why it's doing what it's doing.

ED: Every single thing about the Negan arc, on paper, is so much better in the comics. The whole thing takes a couple days. He doesn't do nearly as dumb a poo poo. His character has more depth. Like.. they just hosed everything up. There was also no "Rick is a pussy" phase - he was plotting right from the get go. There was potential to make a great season of TV out of it and holy gently caress did they blow it.

Guys, I don’t want to scare anyone, but, here’s the title and synopsis for episode ten:

“The Lost and the Plunderers." The official synopsis for The Lost and the Plunderers reads, "Groups unite their forces and converge on the Hilltop; Aaron and Enid search for allies."

...I’m still holding out hope it’s the Vatos from season one for some serious :psyduck:

I’m only making this wild speculation because I was watching S1 the other day, and the gang leader says to Rick: ‘The people we’ve encountered, since things fell apart? The worst kind. Plunderers.’

I mean they’ve done enough ridiculous S1 callbacks (Morales, anyone?) why not go full Gimple on this?

I am guessing he means he is going to try to do stuff like how the Trash People were inspired by The Kingdom, and there's going to be some copy-of-a-copy stuff going on where it gets even more and more ridiculous than even the most outlandish stuff we have seen on the show
