I half blame y'all comic fans for keeping me going with this show until season 5 or 6 (whichever one had Beth in the hospital....I stopped watching after they left).
I blame the comic heads because they kept saying it was going to get good when they introduced [insert subplot or character from the comics]
I remember being bored in early season 2...wondering was it going to get better?
....the only character I liked was Shane..... but comic heads were like...
Just wait until Michonne, the katana wielding sister gets here
And I was like okay then bet
Then she came, was a scowling mute for the first half of her story and it was still boring and they said...
Just wait until the Governor comes
I was like The Governor?
And they was all
When we leave the farm and get to the prison, it's over
The prison?
Then that came and went....but inbetween I also remember some "wait until you see Tyreese"
and he came and was chasing after white women and generally uninteresting...
So I was about to check out after season 3 or 4....
But they introduced Abe, Rosita, and Eugene, along with a cure subplot and hints of traveling to a new location...i also remember whispers that Morgan was coming back and everyone was like
so I stuck around with it with the cannibals and terminus or whatever it was...
I was still only half-entertained but then I started hearing about Negan...."just wait until Negan gets here you fukking haters"
All of them comic heads were acting like it was going to be groundbreaking and fundamentally change the show....
The walking dead would forever be BN and AN.....Before Negan when shyt was sweet and After Negan
But I had caught on to the bullshyt game of "just wait until" that comic fans said to keep show only fans interested in boring tv.....I was like nah, I don't believe you anymore
I did end up catching the Glen fakeout episode and the Negan cliffhanger, only because everyone was shytting on it.....and then I watched the premiere of season 7 to see who died....but it didn't get me sucked back in....nope
....I was free
of the "must watch first episode", 7 episodes of straight
and then an exciting mid-season finale
I would pop in to read other peoples bad reviews and look at the ratings that kept falling every week
And what's funny, is that even when the ratings were tanking and the show was introducing trash people and other boring elements, the comic fans were STILL doing it....talking about "Just Wait until All Out War
"
Now the show is the worst it's ever been (according to what I'm hearing, some of my fav podcasters are bailing on even covering it)......
I heard comic fans were saying "just wait until Carl becomes a badass and the Negan and Carl dynamic kicks in" but they have to be all kinds of
now
Just wait until this shyt is merged with Fear The Walking Dead like the Avengers
to try and make you tune in again
at the strand's lover line. I'll be done if they pull that bullshyt.
