#*twd s9h

I’m still meh on the writing/the show/still hate-watching (no grimes boy-leads). TWD isn’t always #1 to me and also it went downhill since idk s6, and s9 was just so crazy and a lot of changes. Anyway, I looked at all shippers’ thoughts rn, and I mostly agree with it all about the s9 finale spoilers; just prefer Caryl.

i don’t like that Henry died. But it’s a thought that I had of Henry what it means to Carol and in the show. But it’s like a wrong idea I was suspecting of what the writers were thinking of in s9. I guess Carol is always will be with a kid in her story. idk. Writers had said Henry’s death will change Carol’s story again. Which makes me think of Carol going along like comic-Michonne (again). I wasn’t sure how s9 and on will go because of the other changes going on like mains leaving and stuff. But now I know writers are thinking of Carol and this plot like comic-Michonne, imo. In the comics, Michonne broke up Zeke, Zeke dies from pikes, and then Michonne felt guilty (and then that Rick/Michonne Talk - Caryl talk?) and then Whisperer war. Then Michonne’s like I gotta travel...we later found out she found one of her daughters Elodie (like Rick on the show maybe) which is something I think she’s always longed for, her long arc, reason why she can’t really stay with a man a long time because she can’t get over her daughters being missing. Idk what’s Carol’s or what’s next for her later on. Anyway who knows what will happen with Carol in s10. It was a good theory with the guilt thing about Zeke. Maybe he dies in s10. I was also thinking, writers wanted Carol to be in Kingdom just cos of plot, war, and pikes. Then that plot is done, so ...writers could kill off Henry and Zeke, Kingdom fades away. Carol’s in a new chapter in the story.

I was thinking about C/E and how they became a couple and how it ended it in s10. Like it’s not surprising how rushed they went. First of all, I really didn’t like s8 finale because blaah it didn’t foreshadow s9/one year timejump, it didn’t foreshadow or end character’s past arcs. Carol was just there in the war and fought. No mentions of her with TF and no mentions of C/E either. She went to Kingdom cos Henry asked. Like if u gonna have C/E in s9, why not also add some flirty C/E moment. wtf. So yeah s9 i just only read spoilers, cos it’s way too emotional to watch it and not know much. Like on Rick’s fate, and other changes. whew. It’s not that bad. But there’s some changes I don’t like. Some are just it’s good but too late. Maggie’s exit, sigh. I don’t like that they killed off Jesus, Enid, and Tara. It felt like it’s at a wrong place and time. the pikes scene is weird. I don’t understand the Michonne’s violent arc and why TF is all mad at her. Oh so many random ships omg and timejumps.-AK. So C/E suddenly really are canon in s9 and were engaged/married in s9. Most of their development was offscreen. Like wtf on that. I had expectations on Henry but it went a whole different way. Basically Queen Carol wasn’t really there in s9 like she barely knew much about whisperers, negan, magna’s group. She’s in the background for Plot to happen. To have the Kingdom in action, the pikes to happen. Long hair, elf wear, whatever. Writers still didn’t really develop C/E and Ezekiel as a couple and Zeke as a main character like I would expect if he’s gonna be important. They didn’t. If Zeke’s important like the mains, he shoulda interact with other mains a lot more. Like Rick, Daryl, Michonne in s9. I wasn’t sure what writers will do with Zeke/storywise, but from spoilers, I guess he’s just remain as a supporting character...Kingdom/plot for Carol. In the spoilers, Carol broke up Zeke, it sounds like the troubling in the relationship was offscreen (again) and Carol went to ASZ..away from Kingdom or I think it means Carol will be with TF more again which means she’s more part of the main storyline. Not “Queen Carol” but Carol. It’s gonna be a new chapter, new life for her. But, Idk how s10 will go for sure. 

The thing is I have high expectations and a different expectations on the ep 14/Michonne and how s9 ends like for the Grimes/main story goes. So far it’s not going the way I wanted to go (or maybe some parts in ep 15&16.)

I don’t understand why writers add this crazy violent angst(meshed up all of Carol’s angsts throughout the show’s in 2 episodes) storyline to Michonne who is already super sadz alone without Rick and raising 2 kids. It’s like they’re messing up Michonne’s storyline and Carol’s too in s9, IMO. I don’t understand their arcs this season and what’s next for them. It’s like the writers didn’t plan ahead. I also don’t know why they added random details to Michonne’s story. So, in s9 and in two eps. she met her College friend and something about her mom, and killing kids. These are big details added to Michonne’s story now, but it’s like why?...what’s next till the end. Michonne does this and that and everything and finally reunites Rick. But is she still Michonne/comic Michonne...? if u get it.

Sigh yeah there’s so many changes in s9/Kang with the characters. I hope TWD ends when they’re still in-character.

 Why did writers have Michonne go through that super violent experience? And it didn’t explain why TF is so against her now. / Why Carol Peletier is still stuck in Kingdom away from TF and just now learning about dumb Henry’s been missing.  I also think we haven’t have a solo scene of just Carol showing us what’s she’s been through lately and what she’s thinking. if u get it...she feels like a side character (I’m way more interested in Michonne rn). Oh and from spoilers, that Henry dies which again is messing up Carol’s arc imo. Repeating her pain again for the fifth time, why? (read my other *twd posts) I really thought the “losing a child” arc ended with Henry/Lintz kid. He’s even part of comic-Carl’s arc. (wtf are they doing with Lydia then?)

Then like the finale or the whole 9B is about the fair and it’s like TF is mad at Michonne but wtf about the part of 9A where TF didn’t want to unite and build the bridge? Why is Zeke wanting the fair to happen? He really needed trade now? That’s how to unite communities? 

I’m like stuck. I just want the show to still be good and be better. TWD dragging it out and sucking. Stop with the weird writing and changes. :| (well it’s Kang’s show so. boom, changes.)

i look forward to the movies but I don’t even know how those movies go and how the movie + show’s next seasons go. 

Wow those spoilers on Henry. Well first TSDF aren't sure yet. Idk what to think of it. I want him to live and also assumed he will live because that's Carl 2.0 arc and I felt writers really specialized Henry with Carol saving him and we see him aged up six years older. But Henry isn't really Carl 2.0, he got parts of comic Carl's arc. Judith got some of Carl's arcs too (like one day being a leader). I can see how writers would kill off Henry because of that Lydia/whisperer arc is already used up. But, I'm so tired of Carol losing kids. And, the Henry(Carl)/Lydia arc isn't really over because of the whisperer war is coming. But after that war, who knows. Henry can be like in the background too. He doesn't have to die. Another thing is, it's getting harder to speculate with the comics because the show is more different now and also catching up to the comics.

If they killed off Henry and Zeke, it's like the whole Carol's arc that relates to the Kingdom, is gone.(kinda like how Kingdom faded in the background in the comics) ...and writers focus on Judith and use comic Carl's arcs with her. Well I hope Henry lives.

It does look like a start of a ship war (when discussion with fans). Im just saying Henry bonds with carol, zeke, and Daryl. And Lydia. C/e are his parents but Caryl are one of the leading characters which more fans care about them. The spoiler is about Henry's possible death ...but it could be both/ or zeke's death because we know Caryl are safe. Yeah idk usually death speculation posts comes off hate posts. I kinda feel bad for zeke fans because people care MORE about carol's and Daryl/arc than zeke and zeke's fatherhood. But writers made it that way.. It's like "I care about Henry and ___ than ___. " So it's gonna be a rough read if you hope they all live... But this is a Henry-might-die post. Idk what I'm saying anymore lol I want Henry to live than zeke(***his death is also expected because of the comics) because of Carol’s arc with kids and I like Henry/the kid with the Carl arc because it brings meaning to the show, I think. Idk I'll say zeke fans don't read these threads and look for final answers on who will really die. Or anyone who wants to avoid fandom wank.

...

Oh, I didn't notice that these spoilers are about ep 15. hmm I'm gonna think Henry gets stabbed and then it's a cliffhanger.

Maybe it's hard to find filming spoilers on switcherio moments in the show? Idk. It could be AK wanting to kill off the kingdom/ storyline.

-----not forum comments---

Sigh. Idk what to think of it. It’s likely Henry will die in ep 15/16 and Idk why writers want to do that. They used Henry to sell a part of comic-Carl’s plot and then throw it away. They are using the same old Carol-lose-a-kid plot again and why? It’s too overdone. And for Daryl’s arc too. But I’m hate-watching-ish. But still it annoys me. :[

So the early reviews of s9 are out and teasers, are all just reminding me again how it’s all SIGH disappointing/frustrating-interesting plots and missed opportunities. It sounds like Rick’s last five episodes will be great.

Pro-  A lot on the Grimes family/Richonn3, TF, time-jump stuff, world building. It’s disappointing because I was looking forward to the time-jump stuff based on the comics and it’s a whole new arc in the show but it all will go downhill fast.

Con- But I don’t think...I don’t wanna watch those episodes (and rest of s9) because I know Rick will die/departs..from the bridge (probably foreshadowed in five eps), Carol with E, Carol not with TF or just knowing those few Carick scenes are the last time, whatever drama Maggie and Daryl will do-stressing on the TF, and yeah...it’s like ukno writers are all rushing and cramming all Rick & TF moments into five episodes. When they coulda done it right since s6-ish. Also that the show isn’t ending with Rick. 

It’s all too much emotionally to see that. My point is that it’s hard to decide to watch it or see all these reviews and teasers. Uh ...oh well, me. ...I gotta stop reading into too much on these reviews/teasers. :]
