they think it makes them look smarter
LOL @ a pulpy comic giving some people an ego boost for having read it....
Actually knowledge is power and the writer for the comic writes for the show, he says the show gives him a chance to do things differently with more thought.
Now buss it, in the comic Tyrese was a mack, in fact he's smashing a snow bunny and Michonne at the same time, and he's a brawler...he gave Rick the beats in the comic as well as killing a cell block full of zombies.
However on TV he's a simp, comes off like that broken down trap star in the hood that's reduced to fixing your car, selling you a 72inch flat screen for $12 or cutting your grass while the yougins' polish their knuckle game up on him. You think this is a coincidence? Or corporate white America and its viewers pressure the show into making sure a BLACK MAN never takes command and never exercises his FULL POTENTIAL..because it will hit too close to home?
D'Angelo - an alcoholic loser
The Governor's boy - silent killer, even of his own people, even a beautiful black woman like Michonne...but he'll kill so the Gov can avenge Andrea
T-Dog - shiftless, yes man, with low intelligence, they even made him declare it to Dale on the show in season one "I'm a worthless black man"
Tyrese - bummy simp, he can kill 500 zombies with a hammer, but Rick can beak the breaks off him.
These brothers getting beat up, TWO fine sisters in the prison and crying over flabby and sick cac hoes, EVERYONE getting p*ssy on CAMERA but them, Shane dug out his homeboy's wife from the back on a PG-13 show.....these brothas are fukking eunuchs.
But Michonne.....strong willed black woman, and ALWAYS there to save Rick and Carl, like a Mammy version for Blade.
....Knowledge is power, nothing about an ego boost, the comic put on for EVERYONE equally....there's no kids in the hood arguing over being NONE of these brothers from the show, they'd rather be Michonne. But if this same argument was over the comic, fans favored Tyrese more than Rick (black and white fans).
