Comic Andrea is a brave, young, spirited woman. She is loyal and puts the needs of the group above her own. TV Andrea is an older, naive woman who puts the needs of herself above others.
Comic Axel was a big biker with a huge heart, he chipped in and helped out wherever he was required to and he was a bit of comic relief where there was none before and hasn't been any since. TV Axel seems like a *total* pussy.
I was going to say I'm most disappointed with Axel but I think it has to be Andrea, for the reasons that many have covered extensively already. Also Axel has time to turn it around. But, I digress, I don't wish this to become another 'I hate Andrea' thread.
When put versus their comic counterparts, which character have you been most disappointed by?

I loved comic Dale, he was the reliable wise man of the group and someone who gave guidance to Rick when it was needed. TV Dale was a fussy old git who poked his nose in other people's business far too often and wasn't much use.

Did TV Dale really pick his nose or are we just imagining that because of his overly large nostrils...?
I'm most disappointed by Carl, though there is always room for improvement. I also don't understand why they even bothered naming Melissa McBride's character 'Carol' - She's nothing like her comic self! Though I'm not *too* disappointed by that.

Yeah, good shout for Carl, he's much better in the comic.

I really like her character in the comics, but Andrea on the tv series is just awful. By the end of S2 it looked as though she was heading in the right direction, but that all changed once she got to Woodbury.

I have to say, Michonne is falling short for me on the show. Of course, there is more to this season, but her surley stares and monosyllabic grunts really aren't living up to the hype.
Andrea would be a close second. How could they manage to screw up such a great comic character so badly?!?!

I am trying to assume Andrea was beaten down psychologically by seven months of fighting, followed by sickness, and that she is embracing blindly the safety of Woodbury. It's plausable, people do that daily all over the world. I expected more from her, though. I do hope she snaps out of it.

I'm saying the Gov. They've made him too human. In the comic he was pure evil, treated Penny like a dog. On the show he's hugging her.
He just doesn't come off as evil as his comic counterpart.
Spot on. Comic Gov was practically a sadist, his actions left you with no doubt about how messed up he was. TV Gov only has the soldiers deaths and attempted tracking down and murder of Michonne as black marks against his name, both of which can be (sort of) explained away as a leader being preemptive in defence of his town.

I love her in the comics. In the tv show, I don't hate the character. I'm actually enjoying the direction the show seems to be going with that storyline and I can't wait for shit to hit the fan when Andrea discovers the Gov's true nature, but it sucks that they had to do it with Andrea and take her in a completely different direction. I can't see tv Andrea ever redeeming herself and becoming like comic Andrea.
Carl I think still has time to become more like the comic counterpart. He was featured more in the tv show during a story arc where he didn't have much of a role in the comic book. I think there's still hope for him but we'll see

Actually, I prefer the TV Governor. His comic counterpart is just too evil and lacking in subtlety.

Definitely Rick.
I HATE the way they are portraying him on the series. He's too mentally weak. Too inconsistent. It's like they keep switching back and forth between "good/pre-ZA Rick" and "hardened realistic/post-ZA Rick". Every time they develop him, they seem to make him do something regressive.
Big disappointment.
Andrea would be next on the list...

I was disappointed in how they handled T-Dog overall. He just didn't have anything to do or any characterization really, so he'd be my biggest disappointment.

Andrea: the worst offender, in my opinion. The comic version of Andrea is such a great, powerful character, but I've found nothing remarkable about the TV version. In fact, she's quite annoying and grates on my nerves. It's a pity since her actress is great.
Shane: I'm not too disappointed by his character, but I do felt he was dragged on for far too long.
Axel: even though his character isn't that major in the comics by any means, he was still slightly memorable, and I don't like that they turned him from a laid back biker dude to a sniveling weasel and a coward.
Patricia: I enjoyed her actress, I just felt they cut her time way too short. Patricia in the comics did some absurd things, and it would've been nice to have someone like that in the TV series.
Sophia: it's still a bit annoying that they killed her off. I get why they did it, but it's such a major deviation from the comics.
I'd list Dale, but to be honest, I don't really miss him in the TV show. And I feel the other characters are similar to their comic counterparts (Rick, Glenn, Amy), or even better (Maggie, Lori, Carol).

2) Dale - I loathed everything about TV show-Dale from day 1. I had watched the 1st season before I read the comics and once i started reading them I could not believe how badly they fucked him up. What a waste of an interesting character!
