First I was like y'all... thinking
on the priest for snitching...
but then I remembered Rick is a cop.
Priest called his state senator and reported police brutallity...
I'm not even mad anymore.
Lol you didnt even neg me. I negged you, though
But seriously, if you read the word "comic", just wipe your p*ssy and scroll down. Aint that serious.
Thats some great character development that the comics missed out on. Showing the progression of the protaganist as he becomes more and more morally ambigious challenges the viewer and makes you consider the realities of the situations much more than just Good Guy Rick vs the latest Stage Boss. And the situation with Pete and his wife is the perfect vehicle to display the parallels to the situation with Shane and Lori, same guy now on tbe other side.
When you consider what theyve been through - Govenor attack and entire way of life compromised, then nearly all raped and killed by Joe's gang, then led into trap and nearly cannibalized at Terminus, then stalked by the Terminus group, then finding out no cure in DC, then rescue mission for Beth ends in her being killed for no reason by another crazy person, then being followed by Aaron while nearly starving to death - all within a relatively short time period and while losing family members all along the way. Its no wonder they're on no fukks given mode.
This whole story arc is taken from the comics. All the stuff with Pete and his wife... Rick is just more realistic in them as opposed to the show.
When he makes poor decesions in the comics
bad things happen. On the show, not so much. So he can aford to steal things and make ultimatums and kill people on the show because each episode all the main characters get off without a scratch on them. If the bad decesions he makes led to serious consequences (his people being raped, murdered, eaten, disfigured, maimed, leaving, killing oneanother, killing themself and/or their kids, going crazy, defecting, etc) like they do in the comics then his decesion making would be more balanced and thought out and not so one dimensional. When those things do happen in the show they write it so that Rick is not directly responsible, thus he gets bolder instead of really getting wiser or reflective.
Like when they met Aaron, he has clean clothes cases of water, supplies, multiple vehicles, flares indicating a plan in place, knows you all by name and Rick's big idea is beat him up and steal his stuff.
If that had of been a different kind of group he did that to it would of gotten his whole group killed. His group was on foot eating dog. This dude shows up in the whip Abercrombied out fresh as hell and he has food with him he don't even eat... Rick has gone so long without consequence he is just out there fullretard. In the comics Tyrese would of socked Rick in his mouth but Daryl's just his yes man and never checks him.
The show version of Carol has way more character development than her book version, but she is an exception. On ensamble shows everyone doesn't get enough screentime to be well-rounded.
Everyone keeps saying where is the priest, for example. Thats just the show not being able to cram him in. In the comics you know where he is cause they show him.
