The Walking Dead
Summary
Rick Grimes ' exit fromThe walk Deadmay have been the last matter lover want , but it helped prevent an even bad plot line for one character . AMC ’s show has for sure made many changes from Robert Kirkman’sWalking Deadcomics . One of the most notable is creating Daryl Dixon ’s fictional character , who proceed on to be one of the franchise ’s most dear protagonists and even take in him his own spinoff .
Another big change is howAndrew Lincoln ’s Rick leftThe walk Deaddifferently than his comic counterpart . In season 9 , Rick had his final coming into court on the parent show , ended with hallucination of preceding quality , such as Hershel and Shane . After being impaled by a metal rod , Rick meanders around until supposedly sacrifice himself by shove off up a nosepiece of walkers to forbid the herd from infiltrating his group ’s web of communities . He is then take away in a CRM helicopter , with his story set to continue inThe walk Dead : The Ones Who Live . However , had he remain in the main show , a unlike fate may have stretch out .
The Walking Dead midseason premiere is just around the corner , so here ’s a prompt refresher to assist ease us back into the post - revelatory universe .
Rick Grimes’ Season 9 Exit Prevented The Walking Dead’s Sebastian Milton From Being Even Worse
The Walking Dead ’s Commonwealth is vastly different in the show , from Carl not being there to the community of interests ’s downfall . More so , in the comic strip , Rick is belt down by Sebastian Milton , Pamela ’s son . For this , he is imprisoned for the rest of his life . However , in the show , Sebastian is bend by a footer after the the true about his scorn for the Commonwealth residents and misanthropic view of the community ’s means of living is exposed . Thus , a darker turn for the Commonwealth as a whole and Sebastian ’s death acts asThe Walking Dead ’s revenge for Rick ’s comic account book fate .
Although it ’s questionable whether AMC would ’ve killed off Rick , his time of year 9 issue certainly foreclose the opportunity for Sebastian from being even darker and killing the series ' main protagonist at compass point - blank range . While Sebastian is entitled , ungrateful , and demonstrably null of compunction in both the show and the comics , had his plot line ended with him hook into Rick ’s home to buck him multiple times in the chest , it would ’ve prevented Pamela ’s unraveling that his destruction incited . Sebastian ’s abstract thought would ’ve also made Rick ’s death worse , as it ’s because he believes Rick quashed his kinfolk ’s power , despite the Commonwealth continuing to stand in the comics .
Why Pamela Milton Was A Better Final Walking Dead Villain Than Her Son
When first meeting Pamela , she is likely a diplomatical politico , hell - bent on maintaining the Commonwealth ’s standing . Sebastian , on the other hand , is self - involved from the get - go and never really grows beyond his entitlement . Moreover , Sebastian ’s antagonism is much more frivolous as it total more from being baffle than from really wanting to facilitate effectual survivalor leadership . For example , Sebastian lies to gain favour with the Commonwealth residents so that he can easily succeed Pamela , yet does n’t really care about the constituents he feigned pursuit in .
Additionally , Pamela ’s permutation from a charismatic leader to a direct antagonist after Sebastian ’s death stool her more complexthan her Logos . She also demo unfeigned influence , as she direct a self - preserving shutdown on the demesne when the Commonwealth is overrun by walkers . Her neglect for her resident ' lives is bear witness when she regularize two-timer to be feed to her zombified son , institutionalise some to labor camps , and get walkers into the Commonwealth . Her isolation by theend ofThe Walking Deadseriespaints her shout for justice and trust as more self - serving in a manner that does n’t resonate with her community , thus exposing her power obsession as a major failing .
When it comes to walk Dead villains , the Commonwealth military machine is objectively terrible . However , they may be lusterless for a reason .
How Sebastian Milton’s Death & Pamela’s End Sets Up Rick & Michonne’s Spinoff Villain To Be Bigger
While the Commonwealth andThe Walking Dead ’s CRMare both large community , the CRM outshines them drastically in number and resources . to boot , Major General Beale has been remark as receiving more genuine loyalty from his grouping than Pamela . Although Pamela ’s internment echoes her son ’s comic - book fate , this rock - bottom here and now for her underscore her selfish motif , unlike Beale ’s supposed goals . Her final interaction with Carol and Daryl mirror a Beale trait - wee-wee tough decisiveness . While Pamela says ca-ca sturdy decisiveness is difficult , aWalking Deadvillain updateshared that Beale ’s choices are made based on what he consider is good for his biotic community and does n’t note them being challenge .
Beale ’s ability to make arduous decisions , purportedly with no compunction , makes him a raw heir . It solidifies him as a more redoubtable adversary than Pamela . to boot , his seeming meticulousness makes him a more serious threat than Pamela or Sebastian . Plus , the CRM ’s military presence is seemingly much more talkative and attached to leadership since all the Commonwealth ’s claim community resumed their original ownership after Pamela ’s pin . Because of the bound sixth sense characters fromThe Walking Deaduniverse seem to have into the CRM , Rick and Michonne ’s spinoff will hopefully explore more about the radical , as well as the extent of Beale ’s power as a major franchise villain .
