I'm a bit late, but Carl's death was the shocker that producers of The Walking Dead promised for the mid-season finale. This plot twist really messed up the show and ends the series.Now some of you are saying that The Walking Dead will not end anytime soon since the comic book is still going. I say to you that you're wrong.
I'm more than certain that Walking Dead fans noticed the show has really dipped in ratings due to the episodes being weak and main characters roles changing for the worse. Characters like Michonne, Maggie Greene and Daryl Dixon have really seen a lack of air time and development. But their lack of air time was for good reasons.
Danai Gurira, best known for playing Michonne on the popular AMC series, lends her talents to Black Panther as Okoye, a member of Wakanda's bodyguard force the Dora Milaie.
Lauren Cohan, best known for playing Maggie Greene, spent majority of the year filming a movie called the Boy. Lets just say that the movie flopped.
Norman Reedus, best known for playing Daryl Dixon, will be featured in Death Stranding. Death Stranding directed by Hideo Kojima is already winning awards for the art direction. The story of Death Stranding is the character Sam dies and the player is sent to another world, referred to as an upside-down world submerged in water. Kojima suggests that when the player returns to the world of the living, anything they did or any damage that an explosion or the likes causes when the player dies remains persistent in the world and does not go away. Another element talked about is the existence of "Timefall" a type of rain with the ability to age or deteriorate whatever it hits. Another gameplay element talked about is the players ability to interact with the environment and wander outside of the character's body, as well as recovering items when they die.
Back to The Walking Dead. The show is really all over the map with filler storylines b/c the main characters were doing other projects. Now that everyone is back the producers decided to make a cut to prove a point. They decided to let Carl get bit which basically ends the show.
If you who read The Walking Dead comicbook, then you know is the main star of the franchise. There is a theory that the series is told from the perspective of Carl. That is why Rick Grimes can do everything that's impossible. Well now that Carl is dead, what is the show future?
Many are saying that Carl Grimes, Chandler Riggs, wanted to do projects outside of the series. For that reason he is leaving the show. To be honest the kid has been on the show since he was 10. so it's the only show on his resume that will stand out. so I feel that's complete bullshit.
I feel that Carl character was killed b/c Producers want to make it known that the TV show does not have to stick to the comic book storyline. Carl being killed was the final statement on that. Many characters like the priest, Carol, Rosita Eugene, Daryl, and should be dead already.
Killing Carl off basically means the show has no young stars to develop and really putting everything on the regular 5 stars - Rick, Michonne, Maggie, Carol and Daryl to continue the series. They're putting everything they have on them, and I have to say good luck. When you stray from the origins of the comicbook series then you are setting yourself up for failure.
