I am thinking that the problemwith the Governor isn't so much with how the writers decided to make The Governor a more multi-layered character in the TV show instead of the overtly despicable guy he was in the comic but more with how David Morrissey is playing him. he is being way too nuanced with his portrayal even in the recent episodes where The Governor's insanity is supposed to be coming out for the world to see.
I imagine that in the hands of an actor like Walton Goggins (THE SHIELD, JUSTIFIED) or John Hawkes (DEADWOOD) that we would have gotten just as much layering to the character but more of the malicious side too.
Pretty much
I said this awhile ago .i don't have a complaint with his portrayal though since if he played it too insane then you couldn't believe tyrese and Milton would stay .
The walking dead comic as a whole is kind of problematic , the arcs dont end like other comics like beat the governor and everyone resets till the next arc like other superhero comics . They are stuck In this post apocalyptic world so all the shyt just builds and builds on each other. The comic though is filled with coincidences and random encounters that if we're written into a tv show would have everyone
the way everyone meets up after the prison would have people
and for a show where people argue distance and shyt the comic does the same thing. Rick fukks up alot as the leader in the comics , the everyone's dead fiasco , serial killer In the prison , captured loses a hand , loses leadership , lets what happen to tyrese happen , most of ricks team stays soft . The fact that they run into zombie killing bad asses several time Abraham , tyrese , michonne
all this stuff would look silly if done exactly like the comics.
"A biter in the face is much more intimidating than a gun don't you think?"
That wasn't convincing at all. It was bullshyt, and dude just ate it up like he saw the light or some shyt.
nicca he saw Rick put a gun in his face to get him out the prison.
besides that tyrese hasn't seen anything to fear the gov ( walker fighting and the such) ,he didn't kick them out for fighting and they know apparently that Rick is crazy . The governors logic was sound scare away Rick and his people as opposed it going to war especiaLLY In a world where zombies are scarier than guns.
