The walking dead

>>86846911
Went for popularity instead of creating good content

Too many characters, too many plotlines, too much manufacturing drama, too much success, too much of everything, really.

>>86846911

It fell for the "misery and torture porn is automatically good TV" meme of the 2010's. It's basically an outlet for brainlets with a sadistic streak.

way too much time at the god damn farm, ruined the whole thing for me

FUcking trumptard can't write for shite.

>>86846911
The source material is about 6-8 episodes per season, and they stretch it into like 20 episodes. The pacing is shit and everything suffers for it.

Also, the source material went to shit after the prison too.

>so... what went so horribly wrong with this series?

AMC should have bought the rights to World War Z, which would have allowed for an anthology tv series where different characters in different settings have different experiences.

The Walking Dead is simply too small of a story for a long running multi-season tv show and should have been done as a movie instead.

AMC used it as a piggy bank to fund shit shows and line it's pockets while slashing TWD's budget. They've also fucked over pretty much every one who wasn't a yes man, even screwed Kirkman who's now jumped ship to Amazon and is suing them with the original creators and producers of the show.

>>86846911
why is the ceiling missing and cables pulled down?
did humanity decide the only way to stop the dead was to turn a hospital into a building site?

>>86848403

"Don't make people dead, open your inside, man." What's so hard to understand?

The real question is.... What do you guys think of Z-Nation?

>>86846911

Didn't they mega-Jew their own writers, increasing the number of episodes per season AND cut the budget at the same time, even tho the first season(s) were super successful?

>>86849043

There were soldiers executing the sick, iirc Shane was there I think a grenade or something might had exploded. Don't take my word for that though.

>>86849087
Yes. Market research and reviews early on placed the show at having a strong large following. AMC said fuck it and used TWD as a scam to make money. That's why it looks and is written like shit despite all the money it perceivably makes. They even fired the best creative minds involved early on so they didn't have to worry about talented people trying to keep the show good. Instead it's a show for sheep made by sheep.

>>86846911
Is anyone else really bothered that it doesn't read

Don't open
Dead inside

Why did he kill andrea in the comics?

>>86849196

She was a thot.

They started using a formula to write episodes.
Most of them follow the same pattern of action and dialogue, it's tiresome.

The show was at its best with a small crew on the move. They keep expanding the world, but cutting the budget. It's about $500 away from becoming an Uwe Boll production at this point.

AMC completely fucked the show once it picked up steam. Instead of focusing on making an interesting show, they capitalized on the fangirl bullshit regarding certain characters.

They reuse tired writing techniques to manufacture drama. Like devoting an episode to one character only to kill them off at the end of the episode.

They rest on their laurels and are contempt with pushing the same old shit because it's still one of the most popular shows on tv.

>literally pay Norman Reedus to say 1 or two words a season and just brood in the background, otherwise they'd lose a huge portion of their audience

>>86846911
It's the same shit over and over again. They're moving from one boring compound to the next, coming up against cookie-cutter villains. But the show's universe feels about the size of a ten mile block because the setting never changes. I wonder how many hours you could cut together of character's walking and driving down a wooded road. If the protagonists actually had some purpose, maybe a reason to travel across America for example, the show would organically develop some interesting plot lines and settings. I've read other posters say that the repetitiveness and meaninglessness of the show is supposed to be the point. If that's true then the point of the show is shit.

>>86849355
Ah yes the plot between him, Dwight, and Negan is totally in the background

>>86849196
Who cares? She's a generic character ever since Dale died.

>DON'T SNEED
>CHUCK INSIDE
I don't get it.

are Negan and Rick best bros now in the comics?

>>86846911
>a series about zombies
>the zombies aren't even a threat
>instead it's about drama
I mean why would it be that important that you started a relationship with the best friend of your comatose husband when zombies are around?

The premise of the show doesn't really work for a long running show. A movie or mini series? Sure, 8+ seasons? The novelty wears off quickly when you realise there's really not much that can do.

>>86846911
They fired Darabont who had a creative vision about the project, and they decided to turn the show in a shop opera.

Darabont, please.

You wanted thinking, talking zombies who have feelings and form zombie communities.

You deserved to be shit canned.

Intentionally made most of season 7 depressing, not realizing the audience would be watching it only one hour per week over the course of several months. Ain't nobody got time for that.

>WWZ was a mistake.

They didn’t have to copy every single story in the book, the point of an anthology is telling different stories with different characters in different situations.

Now some of the stories might suck but it would only be a stand-alone episode or 2-3 episode arc, not season after season of the same people doing the same stupid shit in the same place, over and over again.

Then AMC went and made another series of exactly the same shit….

>>86849283
this. and the trailer for the next season looks like a fucking video game.

>>86846911
it was mediocre since it's inception, let's stop pretending it was good to begin with.

>>86851029
no

>>86846911
First season was good. The second season just took fuckin forever, and the only good scene all season was when they emptied the walkers out of the barn and found Sophia. After that it got dumb. The Gub'ner, Terminex, Knee-gun, etc. Shit got boring as fuck.

They made Frank Darabont quit
