Good post about Zeke, Axel. I agree that it's nice to see such a complex character. Zeke has really been growing on me. I have a hard time falling in love with 'perfect' characters, so it's nice that he's not just another badass (no offense to Jesus).


Well, he is a badass. He just isnt THAT sort of badass. (That role is as stated, taken by Jesus) Atleast, he's not that sort of badass, not as his main strength. His main strength is his intellect, and that is what i making me like him so much. He is so cultivated and friendly, even when not in his King persona. And i dont mean friendly in the '' Oh, he's another Governor. he's faking it for some DUMB EVIL SECRET agenda'' way. No, i mean it in the like '' Man, i'd go out for a couple of brewskies with this guy if he asked me to. '' way.

Very homo, may i add.

Just remembered something as well, in our little Ezekiel convo.....

I have to repost this pic. We were discussing Dave Fennoy and Ezekiel before, me and Gracie, and i almost forgot i even made this. Man, this was so long ago.



'' Shiva....Keep that hair short. ''


Oh, the things i do when i'm bored.

Did anyone catch that Ezekiel seem a lot more bummed about losing Shiva than his men. I understand she was almost attached at the hip to him for awhile but I just got the feeling that he was sad his people died but sadder she died.

Nothing wrong with it I don't spose situations provided. Just interesting.


Aaah, almost forgot this post.


Well.....He did take care of her since she was a little cub. Fed her and everything. So in a way, he was a ''father'' to her. Not merely her ''master''. When she got hurt, he jumped in to help her despite the grave danger, like any father would do if he saw his child in danger.

And i guess in a way, he could see the same in her. He thought of Shiva as a family member.

I think without a doubt that they shared a bond much stronger than that of a mere man and his pet.

Also, Shiva was as Ezekiel said, the last thing he has in the world that he still loves. He has lost everything else: His job, his family and everything he ever had. Everything apart from Shiva. Shiva was his only connection with the world that once was.

Oh.

Well, that made this just a teensy bit more awkward.

I just jumped from a nondescript alcony up in the heavens.

My body is kinda hurting right now because of that. It could all have been avoided have you said that from the beginning, man.

You have to be clearer on those things, man.

Ouch, my fucking shoulder. I think i scraped it when i broke through the soundbarrier on the way down.


Anyhow, let us discuss more about Ezekiel.

I'am liking today's convo's alot.

And Rick has Andrea's legs/tight pants.

It all evens out, man.

And isnt that kinda how his legs always look?

Only now he's not wearing the coat. Coats usually make you seem taller (and they do cover up the legs alot), so that might be it.

Not sure yet what to make of this issue. Good to hear Maggie standing up to Gregory. Hopefully Hillside will be behind her.

I've said this before, but no doubt there is some truth in Gregory's saying "I've been keeping this group together since the beginning!", and I wonder what it will be like if/when it turns in the future out that Rick's leadership is no longer what the group needs. Would he be willing to go, or need to be pushed out as is (hopefully) happening to Gregory?

The second part of the issue felt a little bit weird to me, particularly where the scenes of Rick's fight are shown with Ezekiel's words (who presumably did not see them). Based on the taglines for the issues, I am guessing that Zeke's story was meant to have been covered in 117, so this was a way to catch up a bit.

On the other hand, I am not sure that it's a bad kind of weird - it is almost like they are saying 'battles are being wages, people are dying - but the war and the heartbreak have only just begun'. I guess I'll have to reread it in a few days and see what I think then!

I think Dwight has his own agenda going on to take over after Negan is been removed. I think Negan already doesn't trust Dwight and Rick has his reservations already. I think Dwight maybe has been planning this all along to have a serrate faction of Saviors breakaway from Negan when he is weakened. I think by the end of the is Rick is gonna be on the road again with his crew. I think Negan has some secret weapons in place too.

I don't disagree I love my dog more than most folks. It's just as a leader of people you (especially as one of those people) would hope he would be a bit more concerned with you than his tiger.
I don't fault him because I get the connection he certainly had it just struck me as a little odd. If I somehow survived that battle and found out e was more upset about his tiger dying than one of the people I'd been surviving with this whole time I'd be pissed.

Am I the only one uncomfortable with reducing two strong female characters, who have survived this long in the ZA, to the size of their breasts?

:srug:

I know Holly brought them up, but I saw that more as a sign of her view on what Negan thinks of women (i.e., *he* would be the kind of guy likely to objectify them in this manner) than an endorsement of that view.

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?

Nah, i dont think it is meant to be that way.

I think it was more of a....well...


Y'know when two guys are daring eachother into doing something, and they say stuff like '' My balls are bigger than yours (In other words ''i'm more badass'')

I think it is more like that.

I got a couple cup sizes on her '' is basically Holly saying '' Man, you thought she was badass? You aint seen shit yet. ''
