I watch both shows but walking dead affects me on an emotional level unlike any other show. Only GoT death that hit me like WD was Ned Stark
Embronyx
I can't stand the cringy dialogue in most shows. GoT is fabulous though.
Texaporte
Meh, It's always Sunny is better.
parkway
GoT almost has more plot armor characters though. The number of main protagonist deaths has toned down significantly the last few seasons
OldSaintDickolas
Fuck you fuck face I grew up with that Character!!!
Fluffycorn
GoT is like Dark Souls without respawns
SugarSmack
These two shows are NOTHING alike. One is founded on political intrigue and the other is about post-apocalyptic chaos. I watch both.
Taddeth
Dead and got rival each other in terms of killing characters and in terms of fucked up shit. Read the graphic novels and stop being an ass
MyFirstTwoChoicesWereTaken
I don't know, that episode of TWD was pretty rough. At least with GoT there's other stories, TWD was an hour of straight torture.
paturuk
Lol, but got characters can be revived.
MapToTheCrunch
After six seasons (now 7) I had hoped more would have happened with TWD. Seems really slow.
cominginhot
GoT has its good share of plot armors
LordCommanderTomSnow
As does Walking Dead.
Tiherry
in Got is called plot armor, in TWD is called dumpster.
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
I haven't seen Game of Thrones but I feel like the writing cannot manage to be worse than TWD.
Bubblefarmer
I tried watching this with my sister and her friends and all they did was scream about never watching it again, for the entire episode
Bubblefarmer
Idk how they can follow the story when literally they just scream over the top of the show for the entire hour
dangerousDoc
Westworld is good people die all the time and come back and get mentally tortured
blissfullignorance
They are machines!
dangerousDoc
Of course a host like you would say that
uglysombrero
PC vs Apple debate going on.
Dragonogh
We just watched our favorite character die last night, cunts. Now we have to move on with yet another staple loose.
whyexactly
GoT doesn't kill off nearly as many characters as everyone made it sound before I started watching
SengirArchangel
Killing off a third of your cast every season is pretty unheard of.
whyexactly
True, but most of the people killed are minor characters.
parkway
They've definitely chilled out after the first couple seasons. At least as far as killing off major protagonists.
whyexactly
Everybody made it sound like all the main characters were dead by the end of S3, definitely not the case
GooberSnotpants
TWD has no balls.
Korga
Did you watch it last night?
Lamech777
I think he meant *less eye* balls ;)
Semphir
i hope the malazan book of the fallen gets a series....
SugarSmack
I love it so much; I'd love to see it, but I'd be so scared of having it FUBAR.
Semphir
yeah... it was really amazing! But the death count....ugh.... ^^
SugarSmack
One of my all time favorite book series! It would be amazing to see the characters, casting would be SO important! Make or break.
Semphir
never works for me...i get images in my head and just ignore the actual descriptions in the books ^^
bobcat1721
Yeah but the walking dead characters stay dead. (Mostly) LOOKING AT YOU JON SNOW!!
IDontWannaWhyYouGottaMakeMe
Yes I was very disgruntled by this. A fucking crowd pleaser, it was.
Idothechachalikeasissygirlilikadodachacha
Yeah, it's super happy how he got to come back to his whole family...
HotelFourSix
..."The Walking Dead".
supermattguy77
You know nuthing
KotMroku
Well, Jon Snow revival was at least kind of explained in universe. In Walking Dead, people just come out of dumpsters.
IAmJacksRagingBileDuct
KotMroku
...Oh well...
ASmitty56
Uhh they teased Glenn dying before as well. I know it's not the same thing, but close.
azrielmoha
Well, except for those who reanimated as a zombie that is.
Glumerlink
frankly i think when they do that they're just tugging at the heart strings harder seeing any main cast member turn is heart breaking
Ravenuser
I think you're trying to say something between the lines, here...
SirListerOfSmeg
Had to watch Extras after watching s07e01. Needed to laugh again
czaarticus
That episode took a lot out of me, i literally went for a nap afterwards...
MOTHERFUCKINGDIOBRANDO
Negan cracking jokes the whole time kinda evened it out for me.
ionlyspeakthetruth
I'm kinda looking at the show as Negan being the protagonist and it makes it a lot less stressful. He's just a more accomplished Rick.
darthheyburt
Should have just watched the live talking dead, was great fun
Glumerlink
the midseason finale of season 4 made me check out talking dead finally, i felt like i needed a support group haha
ubbodagr8
Can't believe They killed the ginger and the Asian.
Ezzybells
To be honest, GoT has nothing on how many characters have been killed in Walking Dead.
BewareOfBOB
The comics are even more disturbing than the show and any GoT book.
KunFayyaKun
Lori's and Judiths deaths were fucked up.
eatyourmeat
Have you read the Damphair chapter from winds of winter. Euron is worse than all the "bad guy leaders" from walking dead
caitdogg
IThe characters on TWD are a lot funnier in the graphic novel. And it's a lot more rapey. But GOT and TWD are in the same vein of Fucked up.
Ezzybells
Cool, I should check them out.
BewareOfBOB
They fucked up big time with The Governor. The comics one was a real psycho with no remorse.
BoopinBeki
Seems like they got it nailed with Negan though.
tomkingkong
True, 90% or so of the world's population is a lot of characters.
PapiBlanco
Not characters, I'm I'm pretty sure it's more than 90
Schmedes
I don't count people we never met as "characters".
Pipecleaner61
You shouldn't.
tomkingkong
They were to someone else.
Schmedes
Not in the story, no they weren't. Not until someone brings them up specifically and then they are a character.
tomkingkong
Okay, 90% of the world are all dead and really gloomy. They just want to eat your brains. There, now they're characters.
Ezzybells
I wasn't counting people we've never met. Still smashes GoT.
MassiveMaoMao
For those who want to watch a better show*
Captainlux87
Still not mutually exclusive
thejearbear
*Arrows fired*
OldSaintDickolas
Shhhhhhhhh let people enjoy things.
PQTANLINDA
HodorTactical
NobodyLurksLikeGaston
Better implies twd is good/okay. For those who want to watch a good show.
FuckThisThingInParticular
TurboDave
"It gets good after the 3rd season!" Yeah, because I want to watch 40 hours of something before it "gets good". Fucking Sasha.
Sogeking
decent*
ShitSteve0Says
GoT is the most overrated show in the history of tv
itsprobablysarcastic
True comment is true
TheDickofDestiny
I like both. GOT is a DIFFERENT show, but it's not better at all. It's like saying Seinfeld is better than The Sopranos lol
IDontWantFOPgoddamnit
Translation "I don't like it so its bad"
SanKa13
Settle down fanboy
koopaya
It so is though. It's like the show's creators took a giant shit on the great work done by the comics.
EarlGreyOrDeath
It's a post-apocalyptic soap opera, with all the drama and bullshit that entails.
FindYourChillMate
Nah the walking dead has become pretty bad. Its had entire seasons of shitness broken up with a couple awesome eps
IDontWantFOPgoddamnit
Downvote me to hell, I don't give a fuck.
rubbarz
Just watched all the season on netflix... its shit compared to GoT
rubbarz
I kept forgetting that people actually waited a week for the next episode after 2 boring as fuck episodes went by.
WaterBendingBiatch
It does also become somewhat repetitive. When the prison was attacked again, and the people were on the run, separated, again, I dropped it.
ImLukeSkywalkerImHereToRescueYou
I've thought on many occasions that the story-telling from both shows was just plain lazy. The source material for TWD is better though.
thecraziestofturtles
Yeah GoT kills people to make people watch and TWD keeps people alive to make you watch.
PapiBlanco
Yeah, but you got to give GoT credit though. They introduce 1 or two great characters for every one they kill. In TWD most of people's 1/2
PapiBlanco
Favorites have been there since season 1-2.
ImLukeSkywalkerImHereToRescueYou
Yeah, not like those new characters on GOT, Jon Snow, Tyrion, Dany, Jamie, Cersei, Bran...
limpingzombi
Alex0628
HA! good one
ImLukeSkywalkerImHereToRescueYou
I'm serious. I'm up to current on The Walking Dead and A Song of Ice and Fire books. Had to push myself on ASOIAF.
MapToTheCrunch
For real. At least when they kill characters, it's done to open up a new plot or summon some real emotion.
MMPRMastodon
I think Game of Thrones is boring and depends on sex to move its story and keep its audiences
HappyRogue1123
Did you watch beyond the first season?
limpingzombi
SanKa13
Amen. Watched walking dead till 4th season, then it went to shit.
MrTuttlesDriversEDClass
It got better again last season
czaarticus
Are you kidding me? Season 5 was a great season. Season 6 wasnt so bad either
MapToTheCrunch
Same! All my friends gave up after season 4 too.
dickable
Which is weird, since it only STARTED being good in season 3...
BigAZNMan
I watched until Beth died
FlamingoKick
That's when I stopped too...not cause of Beth, but because of the stupidity.
BigAZNMan
That too. It has been a drama since season 1 but now it might get back to survival action
VileFury
Do we just completely omit season 2 now?
TheGreatAku
I omitted the show from my mind the second AMC screwed Frank Darabont out of it.
supraman2turbo
Oh the hot blonde, when she fucking died I was so happy. Could have ended the governor but no wanted to ride his dick some more
SanKa13
My thoughts exactly
slimstebow
Andrea, it sucks because she's such a good character in the comics and she was god awful on the show
supraman2turbo
Yeah never read the comics but yeah in the show hated her, Lori, Dale, and the little girl
TyrionLannisterTheImp
The characters in GoT may have flaws, but at least they don't do blatantly stupid shit EVERY episode.
SantaPanda
SPOILER WARNING SEASON 6 GAME OF THRONES: AM REPLY TO THIS THINGY
SantaPanda
Although to be honest, Arya just walking out of wacky fun-time murderhouse, and tossing cash left and right is pretty stupid
tacticalbox
The worst was expecting a huge twist and clever writing for the next episode. The cracks in the writing start to show without GRRMs guidance
AwesomeGuy847
I saw that as part of her plan. She wanted to be found. Then she was going to lure them to that dark room where she'd have an advantage 1/2
AwesomeGuy847
I saw that as part of her plan. She wanted to be found. Then she was going to lure them to that dark room where she'd have an advantage 1/2
AwesomeGuy847
But she was stabbed prematurely for her plan. We see she leads the Waif down there later. I fully believe the money thing was her plan 2/2
KojiKnight
To be fair... The screen writers are out of books... I'm just not sure these last 2 seasons are going to be very good.
KojiKnight
I think they'll be a lot more cathartic (like the last episode of the current season) but I think our current cast is pretty set...
WaterBendingBiatch
That's what being human is though, you do stupid shit on the regular <3 I mean, Sansa ratting out her own father was stupid, but she's 1/2
WaterBendingBiatch
now become a character I love checking in on.
HoodsBallsOnASkillet
I dislike show Sansa, because she is actually good... Book Sansa is basically terrible, and it bothers me they made her competent and badass
WaterBendingBiatch
Though she's somewhat still incompetent in the books, her later chapters are definitely my favorite, when she reaches the Eyrie.
TyrionLannisterTheImp
When I say the characters on WD do stupid shit, I mean stupid like "She may be sick, but she's my sister! She'd never hurt me!" *hug* *bite*
SugarSmack
I'm trying to remember something like that past season 1 where people didn't get what happened. Can't.
MassiveMaoMao
Or ANYTHING involving Andrea...that's when I stopped watching. Her death and everything leading up to it was the dumbest shit ever.
WaterBendingBiatch
Now I reread your post and I get it xD
WaterBendingBiatch
I genuinely thought you meant the people in Game of Thrones did something stupid every episode.
somethingaboutTV
That's the difference between a show that has an end game and a show that doesn't. Characters have to do stupid shit to keep it going.
AFineDayForScience
They should bring in zombie Walter White for the last few seasons. Breaking Dead. Or Walt Jr.
Texantioch
Never even thought about it that way
Rodvitner
Poor excuse for bad writing.
somethingaboutTV
1) Yes and no. Even great shows like Lost and Mad Men had weak middle seasons when they didn't know when they were going to end. Whereas
somethingaboutTV
2) once they found out their end dates, it was much easier to write with a direction in mind. Granted TWD has many more problems than just
itsprobablysarcastic
Now you're the stupid one. TWD has its entire narrative already developed in graphic novels. GRRM is too busy with shock to finish his stori
somethingaboutTV
1) You mean the same graphic novels that also haven't ended and have no intention to for a long time? GRRM hasn't finished his works yet
somethingaboutTV
2) but he's pretty close. HBO decided to put an end date on the series and he had told them major plot points he intends to use in his books
