#miconne

“The show is not the comics; it’s an adaptation. If you make it past season one, you should have gotten that memo. Again, how did you not see this couple happening? Were you simply not paying attention to the show? Cause it sounds like it.

I keep asking myself those questions, but I know, deep down, what the truth of it is.

Some cannot see Michonne as a love interest for Rick, I think, simply because of aesthetics.  She’s not meek, mild, fair, or blonde (i.e. she’s’ too black).

‘Michonne is supposed to be the muscle! This is a total jump the shark moment for TWD!  What were the writers thinking?! Rabble rabble rabble!’

Michonne is not just black; she is dark.  She has dreads.  She wields a sword.  She is the epitome of a strong, black woman. But here’s the thing, guys: She isn’t just a strong [black] woman.  She is a mother.  A friend.  A love interest, and after a long wait, a lover.  The writers did a fabulous job of making her (and most of the characters on the show) well rounded individuals.  Michonne is not excluded from this.”
