Disagree completely. Rick tryna be kumbayah farmer Rick led to the group's paternal leader getting his head chopped off and their entire way of living destroyed. Thats a big reason he's so cutthroat now and again, every situation theyve been in since that happened has only reinforced that mentality. Aaron was clean and friendly offering food and sanctuary. So were the Terminus people
Most of the characters, especially the villians got more fleshed out character development in the show (except the couple they killed off early.) I know the Pete story is from the comics but they didnt approach it the same way. Rick isnt even tryna fukk Jessie in the comics until Pete is gone. The show is using the oppurtunity to draw parallels to the whole Lori and Shane situation, which again was more featured and important on the show, which is an awesome callback to one of the main recurring themes of the whole show. Subtle things like the way Rick wipes the mirror and stares at himself after shaving is a clear callback to Shane doing the same shyt when he was plotting on Rick.
Shane was basically an afterthought in the comics whereas in the show he represents the dark, survive at all costs side of Rick, and of their world in general. The longer time goes on, the more Rick and the group are subverting to a bunch of Shanes.
The main characters they've killed off this season have something in common besides being 75% black. Bob, Beth, Tyrese and Noah were the bright lights, the defiant optomists, the merciful and civil, the symbol of future hope. They're all gone. And now though it appears on the surface that the group is in the best situation they've been in since it started, theres a lot that isnt right and is starting to boil over. Theres a darkness underneath and we're seeing that with the worse, most gruesome violence to date in the show, despite the fact they're all in the "safe zone" with picket fences and dinner parties. There's one more character left that is the show's moral compass and we know the worst is yet to come.
.....If he don't die first
