I disagree. Carol's "rise" hasn't really had any type of detrimental effect on Glenn or Maggie. Glenn has been shown to be more assertive and take charge all during Carol's turn into a Suburban Assassin while Maggie's growth has come in her growth into a leadership role in Alexandria. She has what Deanna has...an ability to connect with people which is needed as a compliment to Rick's more draconian style of leadership. Not all growth has to be in terms of how deadly the character is.Think of everyone is on a scale:
You have your scale with the A players: Rick, Daryl, Michonne.
You have your scale with the B players: Abraham, Carol, Morgan.
Then you have players who've alternated between B and C: Glenn, Maggie, Sasha.
Carol's rise into this assassin for the past two season is costing other players in growth. Yeah it's great to see her blending in and going on kill streaks but the more they build her, the more they're tearing down everyone else. Remember, when Carol began to rise who fell? Glenn did, Maggie did and Tyrese did. And look what happened to Tyrese, he's dead.
Either Carol becomes an A player and one of the A players becomes a B or she goes down, aka dies. In order for Morgan, who everyone seems to hate cause he's zen and passive, to see the light and become better, someone on his scale or lower has to die (Carol, Glenn or Maggie). Carol's been taking water from Glenn and Maggie, putting them in the background, how long until we see Carol barking orders putting Michonne in the background? This season might be the time for Carol to look at the flowers.
:beysip:
Tell me what you think brehs.
Tyreese was ruined long before Carol's come up too. The show wrote him as this soft ass emotional dude from the start.
