Walking Dead Season 8: The Plot was Bitten and Infected:

:Why are Zombies the best strategists?

By Michael Bench

Welcome Back Walking Dead Fans and Actors, The Premier just aired and boy is my mute button finger tired. Plot Problem: Rick does not yet know his enemy. Really? What is so compelling of anything Negan has to say that shouldn't be interrupted by a bullet to the head? Nothing. Negan uses fear, character doubt, leverage and egoism. Negan did all but the can-can and still nobody shut him up;

He comes out. Rick and company were to wait for the first mid thought rumination when he's deep in ego and pop the whole lot off the stage. Instead, time ticked by and maybe Rick's rebuttal wasn't so good. His character is too whipped with vengeance to be for real.

The math is “intent divided by success and bodies”. The Walkers have zero intent and 4-5 meals this episode. Thats like 500 percent success. No fear of death, mind you. Ricks PSR is 100% devoted and net 0 if Gabriel gets chomped or shot. Negan is at 60% committed; casualties of the -1 to -3 range and bad batting form. As the Kesha song goes , you built me up, you break me down, my heart it pounds .. with lethargy and tapping my wrist where my watch could be. Tick Tock, Tick Tock. “Hey, Do you know thats Negan? Shoot em already , Fish in the barrel for ***** sake!” This is where I break from liking Rick Grimes character despite Andrew Lincolns solid delivery.

Rick Grimes is only satistfied with matching Negan's repetoir. Do the producers really want to sack their main character by bad writing? When Maggie's tubes were all botched with pregnancy, The Saviors showed they had the strategy game well played. . Season 8 Episode one was an esteem affirmation, not a conspiracy;A wasted field trip. Make Negan feel loss?! Make him see the smoke on the horizon? WHY? WHY WHY?. Ricks group is trying to terrorize Negan devoid of sense. Its a different world out there. Enemy's kill each other. Egoists flatter each other with monologues.

Hasten back to Grimes Season5 “ We are the Dead” barn speech. The Dead don't seek revenge. They kill, nothing else. Notice also, the group only borrowed the Governors trick for emptying out the prison via zombie hoards. If they were launching flaming zombie clumps into third floor factory windows on a catapult, that would be new. Think NEW, Producers! Be new for the show, not for the comics. Be new for impressing the fans.. Not window dressing Negans villain status. We're not here to read the comic book. This was a weak episode delivered by good actors.

More math: AlexandraXL show up with surprise advantage to wait and let Negan give a sermon?The attack was telegraphed, How else do you waste so much ammo? INVADE.!!!

The role Carol, Darryl and Morgan played was fine. Michonne and Carl did fine too. It was the basics among the characters; a major backslide in skills. The group is stuck on basic bitch syndrome and came out with less. Never kick a hornets nest unless you plan to crush it entirely. I make no excuse of that proverb to harm hornets. On the other hand, Negan is a bug to crush without time for doormat arguments. Even if an all out war was sealed in the first episode, its not like 400 million people just vanished. New vandals were ample. No I got a real problem with this episode. Three clans had their strength in numbers wasted for a standing barricade by which no traffic ever was going to pass. Negan pranced, Rick was still in a trance.and the walkers sought bright light. For brains the Walkers won this episode AMONG TWO LIVING GROUPS.

For whatever reason the Weinstein story broke in the season hiatus. Its very appropriate to address this here. Comicbook male characters seem to always have the last word. Negan's speechs, Rick's speeches, Governor Brian's speeches. Jabber, jabber , jabber. The girl walkers aren't falling for it.The problem is we have an antagonist of such low third world qualities for a villain that the viewers see a White Joseph Kony floated as an apocalyptic tyrant. When I say apocalyptic, I mean forecast.

Actresses like Rose McGowan and Ashley Judd are speaking out against Weinstein and the other predators in the entertainment media. Lately its been a misandryfest of affiliating males with rapists rather than the criminals these particular rapists and harassers are. Males know its a crime. Affiliate it sooner with a partisanism; “rape is the will of god types”. I'm not excluding males as a characteristic of the criminal but there are other matters like the genre they occur. Film, Music , Entertainment media has a problem with the type of males its writing devoid of realism for our times. Check out Poisons lyrics for “Fallen Angel”. The hair metal bands seem to give the sex for work media industry the nod for their decade.

For Walking Dead , we certainly have a male being forecasted as a loud mouth self entitling wife taker and trying to glide by the consent part. We're Americans, not Somalians or Ugandan militants. Its pretty low a character like Negan is given such a willful charisma with accessories of acquired “wives” by fearmongered proxy. Is Negans villain what the west produces?. Don't ignore the roles (Are to be first world ) of criminal males are being written. I'm not excusing the independent crimes of males and females outside the entertainment industry either. Young people idolizing the villains of our time do not need to be turned third world on womens rights to have a witty sadist. At least videogames realize this or I've not encountered the Grand Theft Auto clone that includes rape.

Lets just remember Negan's privilege and his coordinated strength among his group are not separate. AlexandraXL don't yet understand their enemy is one guy supported by rank. Ixnay on the oppressor is the only task. Promptly. Terrorizing Negans sense of comfort is something you do to a victim you intend to keep alive.

Grimes had better notice resources are likely getting thinner; His need of revenge is a weakness. How many other characters should have seen it? Carl did. We have a whole season to go and a whole season filmed. A retaliation is likely. The first episode of Walking Dead season 8 demands a written retaliation on producers and writers on behalf of the Alexandrans. Stop backstabbing the characters for monologues. Negan and his wiseguys should be pitching daisies right now.

Its a show about zombies that hasn't grown or been a substantial enough threat to not keep the writers from indulging about humans. .. as sapiens will be. Gods in their image blah blah. blah. Contrast Walking Dead with 2004's remake of Dawn of the Dead. A serious difference in Aggression, Reaction time and threat is surface.. Skip the comic book, AMC/Kirkman and evolve these zombies into something worth fearing for a tv show. Walking Deads writers are making us too cozy with this prospect of the dead rising. Costume and FX still top notch.// END
