Why didn't they just kill Negan at any of the dozen times he was alone?

The Saviors would be too busy infighting over supplies and they would fragment.
>>
the season when Rick finally had to give up to Negan leading to when they unite all the small factions to defeat him is the last good segment of Walking Dead, I didn't even like it after S2 besides a few governor scenes all the way until Negan showed up, S5 and 4 are weirdly overrated
>>
And how long did they even think they could keep supplying the Saviors with scavenging, eventually they would just kill them.
I hate shitty writing for the sake of a harebrained plot.
>>
>>214504411
Rosita and Carl were the only ones with balls.
>>
Watching this show when it isn’t coming out weekly/yearly is a slog, am doing it now
>>
>>214505129
And Rick giving all the weapons and ammo and only them realizing they have to fight. What a fucking idiot.
>>
And why is Carol such a bitch
>I can't stay with my people because then I'll fight for them
What's this shit
>>
Because he's supposed to be a total alpha male giga chad. In the comic he's believable, in the TV show he's some crooked old man who got bent over too many times so now he copes by leaning back
>>
>>214504411
I am genuinely offended by the concept of humans killing other humans in a zombie apocalypse. It doesn't matter how much you might hate someone, killing another human means you have one less person to fight against the zombie horde. Literal smooth brain behaviour. Is the zombie genre the dumbest genre? Because it seems like everyone in zombie stories have to be total retards for the story to actually work.
>>
>>214506356
It's an issue of resources.

One bullet for me to defend myself is one less bullet for you to defend yourself.
One meal for me is one less meal for you.
Etc etc.
It's pretty much the least objectionable thing about a zombie apocalypse.
>>
>>214504411
The whole Negan arch was complete nonsense. Ruined TWD.

So: Yeah, they could and should have just killed Negan early in Season 7, since he was an overconfident fool that would have never made it if the showrunners hadn't decided to abandon the harsh realism of the earlier seasons for an inane Marvel supervillain.
>>
>>214506381
But all of the resources keeping YOU alive, adds another person to watch MY back. Especially when the characters end up in a secure spot, like the prison, just stand by the fence and start stabbing zombies in the head or set fire to them.
>>
>in a zombie apocalypse
>maybe 10-25% of the original human population left
>the physical country itself is already huge
>run into problems with a group you for whatever reason can't beat
>just leave
it's LITCHRALLY that shrimple. why didn't they just pack their shit and drive 3-4 hours in any random direction? post-apoc distances revert to medieval distances even with the technological advantage of cars
>>
>>214506356
In the beginning, sure. But after a while, the remaining survivors are pretty good at dealing with the zombies, while the scarcity of resources becomes more and more of a threat. So I'd say killing is less surprising. What is odd in TWD is how often everybody keeps looking for major battles, because those can and will kill your own as well as the bad guys, and avoiding those should have a much higher priority than people in TWD seem to give it.
>>
>>214506470
because you're always gonna run into someone lol. Who literally describing what happened with the Goths and the huns. In the end the Goths just basically had to destroy Rome to flee from the hun.
>>
>>214506470
>maybe 10-25% of the original human population left
I think the most common number is that there are 5,000 walkers for every survivor. So that's .02 % of the original population!
>>
>>214506478
>while the scarcity of resources becomes more and more of a threat.
Didn't that one dude The Governor? have a fully functioning town that they decided to just fuck over because Ricks group were butthurt over zombie fights?
>>
>>214504411
I think the scene that finally made me drop this shit show was that one point where Rick's group are in cover, they all have weapons pointed at Negan who's just standing out in the open on some balcony... and nobody fucking shoots.
They just have a nice chat and let Negan leave before combat starts. Worst plot armor of all time, this cunt.
>>
>>214506495
if >>214506504 is true then you're lucky you even see anybody not a zombie at all

and you only have to run if you can't win
>>
>>214506529
He's been raiding regularly to keep Woodbury afloat. Did it with the group of soldiers that crashed the helicopter, tried it with Rick's group as well. Woodbury wasn't self-sustaining.

Stil, the Woodbury arch was still early in the show where people didn't yet realize the full extent of scarcity that would follow and did get in stupid wars like that due to inept, hotheaded leadership.
>>
>>214506584
Are people incapable of growing vegetables? I mean fucking potatoes will grow by themselves in compost bins. Like I said, people have to be literal retards in zombie stories for the story to work. And that's setting aside the fact that zombies shouldn't be able to exist for more than a year.
>>
>>214506444
Some people you can't trust.
Sure, when the odds are in your favour they'll have your back, but the second shit hits the fan hell bolt.
So yeah, one less bullet for him is one more bullet for me.
>>
>>214506639
Well, I thought the show did a reasonable job of showing how hard it is to build any kind of self-sustaining community in a world where [i]everything[/i] has broken down. I mean, what you're saying gives you one bin full of potatoes, if you're right. How long will those last? And what are you gonna eat after that?
>>
>>214506639
>potatoes will grow by themselves in compost bins
I don't think they mentioned growing potatoes once in the show.
>>
>>214506714
Potatoes grow like crazy. I mean fuck I've had entire potato plants grow just by throwing vegetable scraps on the garden. You start growing the potatoes, you harvest, you turn the soil with basic fertiliser (if you have a whole town barricaded there will be shit tons lying around in nurseries, home garden sheds, etc.) you take some potatoes and re-bury them to start new plants. You throw feces and other food scraps that you can eat onto the garden bed. You ration out the potatoes while foraging extra food. You get some chickens and let them scratch around in a decent size yard and you get protein. You use those resources to hold you over while other crops like Tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, lettuce grow in. Agriculture is REALLY fucking simple. That's why I keep saying that characters have to be retarded. The only time Zombies are a threat is during the initial outbreak. They can't think or plan, and they are passive in their movement, so any sturdy barricade will keep you safe.

lol no, the very next season after he stormed the Saviors compound ready to kill everyone they had his character do a 180 out of nowhere and start preaching about love & unity, just because they needed a reason for Rick to not kill Negan in the end. Garbage ass writing just to move the plot along.
>>214506078
Same as above, they gave her a personality transplant because they didn't want her to singlehandedly go kill Negan in a suicide mission. They could have had her being injuried more seriously to force her to sit that fight out but nah, those hack writers just switch between the murder everyone/be a pacifist settings, see also Rick and Morgan.

Didn't it take like eight seasons for spears to exist? Everyone has a pocketknife or some dumb axe
>>
>>214507299
Because the moment of it happening is really good anon, but fine Rick calls out Negan's human killing ways to such a degree that Negan turns to his side
>>
>>214507346
Fucking lol. Nah, there's no way I wouldn't call that bs.

>>214507116
I liked Dead Set, it's a britbong miniseries about the zombie apocalypse happening while the uk Big Brother edition is going on. It ends like a za movie/show should.
iirc one of the contestants is gay but he dies right away and they chop his body into tiny pieces to be zombie bait lol
>>
>>214507320
Season 6 sees spears, but it isn't that great of a weapon since they tend to crowd you, and it's easier for a spear to get stuck.
>>
>>214507382
just before i watch this i am correct in assuming big brother is like the larger budget, british, older brother of fishtank right? it's some sort of real-reality tv with cameras everywhere and meetings and challenges and shit? i just need context

Yeah it's that live show where they film people 24/7 inside a house built in a network tv's studio, then each week viewers vote which one of them to kick out. I'm not a bong but I remember hearing they got real Big Brother's hosts as cameo. Anyway that's just the premise and things go to shit right away.

6/6

you asked if it was addressed and it was Negan calls out his very own hungry dog behavior,

TLDR after this Rick shanks his ass and says he'll have his people save his life if his faction fucks off but Negan still has enough kick in him to break Rick's leg but in the end his people do rally around another person and leave and Negan's life is saved becoming Rick's prisoner living in his basement eventually he does get out and saves Rick's life so they allow him to fuck off and live in a house on the edge of the safezone as a hermit.

>>214504411
I stopped watching after Season 3. How does this guy become the antagonist who kills Glenn but then also somehow fucks his girl and is now the protagonist of a new show focusing around him and Maggie? How do people even like that pairing?
>>
>>214507602
>TLDR after this Rick shanks his ass
why? Negan was clearly converted. Is Rick just a selfish retard who wants to be the be all end all leader?

>saved from starvation by Alexandrians.

>show always paints Rick's group as competent and heroic
>>214506584
Alexandria was still doing great with only a couple of them cautiously (unlike Rick's group) doing runs. It was only Daryl screwing up yet again that caused it to be found. They even had enough food for pets (background scenes), and power for video games. The smart ones left when Rick's psycho group got there.
>>
>>214504411
Negan was the only one with the guts to stand up to the real enemy, the insane AMWF pairing, something far more disgusting than flesh-eating undead zombies. Fortunately it's impossible in the real world, but the scenario was so horrific to contemplate that test audiences were literally begging the writers for an out, and Negan stepped in to save us, sending Glenn back to the depths of r/AsianMasculinity.
>>
>>214509139
>offs ginger
>offs Asian, instead of ripping out Carl's remaining eye and feeding it to Rick, like he said he was going to if anyone else interrupted.
If that was the case, why would he be attracted to Maggie? You still may be on to something, though.
Audiences never realized Daryl's racism

Admiration. With the exception of Terminus, Rick's group always preyed on the vulnerable. They are psychopaths, even gaslighting a little girl into insanity when she was trying to tell them about zombie sentience.

weaken him enough he could jail him for the shit he did to him and his people and get him out of the way so Negan's people could start fresh.
