couldnt find an existing topic about this so...

how do you all think ezekiel and his tiger will play into the bigger picture of twd?
what do you think their role will be in AOW (short-term)?
are they around for the long haul?

i personally hope that ezekiel survives aow and is around for the long haul. i think that the dynamic of him and rick being in the same, for lack of a better word, group would be awesome. i really want to see more of his character and how he progresses throughout the series. on the other hand i doubt the tiger will be around beyond aow. but there will definitely be some sort of tiger to the rescue moment. thats going to be awesome.

let me know what you guys think!

I'm really not expecting Shiva to live for long, as for Ezekiel I think he could be around for a while.

I hope they stay for a long time. I don't care that some don't like them, they're interesting character. With Jesus, Ezekiel is the best character I've seen introduced in TWD in a while. And I hope Kirkman keeps the tiger for long, even if only to piss off people the haters!

kirkman said in an interview, or the letter hacks i can't really remember, that ezekial's tiger isn't going anywhere and if you don't like it piss off (something along those lines). that being said i still can't see the shiva living past the war, unless ezekial constantly has shiva on a leash then she is bound to attack someone from one of the 'good' factions. she'll eventually be gunned down for sure, or at least shot and out of commission for the remainder of the war.

I don't know what you guys think but I would love to see Ezekiel on the road, where he doesn't have to pretend to be a king. We would get to see the real Ezekiel, not just the face he puts on for his people.

^Well we know he gets separated from the group in Issue 117, so you will get to see a little bit of that. I would also like to see Ezekiel without his people. Speaking of his people, have we even seen or been introduced to any of them yet?

Shiva and Ezekiel = Prince Adam and Cringer

Throw them into a battle, bit of a theme tune.

Boom. He-Man and Battlecat.

Oh god, please just kill him and that damn tiger now. They've single-handedly caused the downfall of the comics.

A big reason I admired the Walking Dead is because Kirkman avoided zombie cliches that made them cartoonish and silly (smart zombies, zombie animals, etc). I wouldn't say it caused the downfall of the comics but its definitely the low point. It's completely ridiculous. I'm betting we'll never see it on the show because that would transfer horribly to TV and if you did anybody about the Walking Dead and mentioned the tiger, they'd think its just some silly zombie comic.

I don't know if Kirkman was thinking we'd love it because it's cool. I don't understand what the grand plan is with this. It could easily be a dog, it just wouldn't be as threatening.

Imagine a group of a hundred motorcycles driving down a freeway. Eventually, they hit a junction. One road goes northwest and the other goes northeast. So one guy, we'll call him S, says, "Let's go northwest!" A mile past the intersection, a semi careens into the group and kills ninety of them. Ten are wounded, but they survive and keep going. Eventually, they hit 10,000 miles. S suddenly has his consciousness thrown into his past body right before the junction. Now, he says, "Let's go northeast!" All 100 bikers survive. Happily ever after, right? But what about the ten, no nine, who went northwest and survived? What happens to the reality they were living? Does it just disappear now that S has changed the past? It's not like only bad things happened on that 10,000 mile journey. Maybe one of them fell in love with a gas station attendant and got her pregnant or maybe one adopted a homeless kid that joined the adventure. That 10,000 mile journey would be full of stories. Romances, farewells, friendships...the loss of those ninety lives is horrible and unfortunate, but what would rewriting their history mean? The nine who survived lived full lives and did the best they could with the hand they were dealt. How could it be right to just erase all that? Isn't that worth something? Is there a point to a world where everything is happy? Are people who struggle for a better life just idiots? Being human is about fighting even when it seems hopeless and finding happiness in a world that hates it. Are you saying that's worthless?

I wouldn't go that far. It's not that bad and I certainly don't think it's ruining the comics. I mean, it is pretty silly in to look at but the justification is sensible enough. If it was a mythical tiger and apocolypse prophet ripping up zombies together I'd be worried, but it's actually just a zoo animal and its emotionally attatched keeper (probably from the Smithsonian Zoo) who were together at the time of the outbreak, survived, and gained a following at a campus they holed up in. Nothing really more than a guy and his pet. It's strange, but not impossible. The biggest issue is feeding that thing enough to keep it docile, which has been recognized.

The thing with the Kingdom that's really odd is everyone acting like it's the early Renaissance. I get it's all just an act to them, but is there honestly any legitimate reason these people would have to play pretend like that? Put that on top of them being led by a prophet-esque guy with a pet tiger, and it's pretty darn cartoonish. But Walking Dead has always been very much a comic book, from the drama to the characters to the violence. It doesn't bother me.

I'm one of the haters, so I hope Shiva doesn't make it. I'm ok with Ezekiel surviving, if there is no longer a Kingdom and all that bullshit kingdom talk is gone.

I really hope so and I really friggin hope they use a real tiger because really... how bad ass would that be?

I mean maybe i'm stretching it and my love for animals is blinding the fact that they'd probably never do that lol but really, that would be amazing.
