Also will the movies end with Rick reuniting with his literal children. DOES HE EVEN KNOW ABOUT RJ???

We never saw a scene where Michonne told him she thought she might be pregnant so I think it's safe to say that he just straight up doesn't know he has a 4/5 year old.

Oh shit okay, imagine it's the final episode of season 11, like last 7 minutes and like everybody is straight up fighting for their lives against the commonwealth or the reapers or both. We've already lost some fan favourites earlier in the episode, they made devastatingly beautiful sacrifices to try and help their family survive and then we see a helicopter and everybody kinda freezes cause "is that a fucking helicopter 10 years into the end of the world??" and just out jumps Rick Grimes and Michonne, and they both go just start kicking the asses of the commonwealth, maybe have Rick throw in a comment about how the soldiers look like they're straight out of one of Carl's comics.

Then everything calms, half our family is dead. Then Judith sees Rick for the first time because she was protecting the other kids and not allowed to fight in the actual battle and just yells "dad!" (kinda like how Carl did in season 1 when Rick came back from the dead the first time) and she just starts running and Rick freezes because his tiny babygirl that was a toddler when he "died" is now a 10 year old strong-willed little girl carrying his gun and a sword wearing Carl's hat, and they hug and it's cute and then RJ sees Michonne and tells "mom!" (once again mirroring Carl but now also Judith) and Michonne hugs him and Rick just goes "mom? He called you mom?" and then they have a big grimes family hug. And Judith whispers to RJ, "this is the brave man I told you stories about" and RJs eyes go wide and Rick's match when he hears his sons named after him.

Also the Daryl/Rick bro hug would be even more emotional than when they saw each to her for the first time after Negans lineup. And then they tie it all up in a little neat bow.

But then the Rick movies are during the time jump, and it's Rick trying to get back to his family but he can't because he's Mr. I need to help people in need, and then he finds Michonne (and she doesn't tell him about RJ because she doesn't know how to but also everytime she tries to they get interrupted) but the last movie ends with him and Michonne on a CRM helicopter going back home

I uh I got a bit out of hand here lmao, but like also I wanna see something like this, I've said it before but like I want the end of the show to be devastating but also give a little hope that the characters that are left are gonna be okay. I didn't even mention the Carol/Daryl spinoff very much but I feel like if Rick and michonne came back and took their kids to a safe place they found that's actually safe it'd make it so Daryl wouldn't break character by straight up abandoning his family.

Carol is like Daryl’s mom and the someone told them I love how Daryl is like a brother to Beth and Connie and they got really mad

Even if you take the fact that Carol belongs with Daryl out of the equation, there is still something fundamentally wrong with her relationship with Ezekiel.

On the latest episode of Talking Dead, KP’s response about the proposal was:

“Ezekiel was hoping for a yes, but the response he got was classic Carol”

“She’s never gonna make it easy”

“This is what makes life fun”

“You don’t climb a mountain because it’s easy…there’s great payoff when you finally get to the top and look over at the vista”

“He’s enjoying climbing that mountain”

Are you fucking serious? Carol is just a mountain to climb? It’s fun? She’s not making it easy?

It’s 2018. We all know about the #metoo movement. By now, we should all know how to treat women. So why is The Walking Dead, who took an abused housewife and transformed her into a strong, fearless survivor, now forcing her into a relationship with an MCP?

Because Ezekiel is one. He repeatedly disturbed Carol when he knew she wanted to be left alone. She saved his ass, and everyone else at the Kingdom, and he has the cheek to call her a coward because she didn’t want to look for Henry, when he couldn’t be bothered to search himself?

And now, when she’s (and God knows why) decided to enter into a relationship with this man, when she realizes that he is about to propose and tells him “don’t”, he ignores her and shows her a ring.

Don’t you see the problem? She said don’t, no, stop, and he ignores her and does it anyway. Doesn’t that sound like something else?

And when Carol reminds him that she had specifically asked him not propose to her, he just says “I know.”

Ok, Ezekiel, so you can remember that Carol asked you not to propose. So why do it? Why would you blatantly ignore her wishes if you “love her”?

He then, and this is the worst bit, fucking laughs.

It’s not some goddamn joke. Carol put up with Ed who verbally and physically abused her, and now she’s with a disrespectful jackass who thinks “no” means “go ahead”.

And after Ezekiel laughs, he puts his ring away and says “I’ll keep this till you’re ready”.

She’s not ready. She’s just fucking told you no, she’s not ready and she didn’t want you to ask anyway. She is not a “mountain to climb”. She is not playing hard to get. She said no. No means no, it does not mean not right now, or maybe, or just ignore me and do it anyway. No means no!

So what kind of message is The Walking Dead sending to its viewers by showing this scene and KP’s interview? That it’s ok to pester women and not take no for an answer? That women just want to be climbed, even if they don’t make it easy?

No, it was not right of AK or TWD to marry her to a man she did not love, even for purpose of giving a boy a family. I personally never cared for the dude. He's a fake, next to weak. Calling Carol a coward over Henry was the final blow.
