Show. Haven't read the comics in a while, but they were always good. I fell off of the show pretty early on. And honestly, same with the comics. What made me fall in love with the comic is that it was a slice of life story about people trying to deal with the end of the world. It was entirely its own thing--not really a horror, just with some horror elements. Then The Governor showed up, who, mind you, is one of the greatest villains ever created. But, his presence also changed the narrative from grey to black and white, good vs. evil, and with that, I lost interest. Anything you want to chime in with/attack me for, Rule 30 ? I agree with you on the story becoming good vs. evil. Characters like The Governor and Negan are evil, and Rick and co. despite all of their flaws are good. However, I don't feel like it's all totally black and white. Rick and his group are constantly doing horrible things in the name of the survival, and readers/viewers are often made to wonder if they've gone too far this time. Even though the TV Show has a lot of problems, it's done a very good job of showing this. For example, a few weeks ago Rick's group sneaked into one of Negan's outposts and started killing people in their sleep. It really made you step back for a second and go "Whoa, this feels kind of messed up." In the comics Rick even starts crying after the group brutally butchers a group of antagonists. Both the comics and the show display how there are plenty of good people within Governor and Negan's camps that just get caught up in the crossfire because they fell in line with the wrong people in order to survive. So while Governor/Negan are clearly evil, I don't think the conflicts as a whole are totally black and white. I feel like the show has also done a better job of fleshing out (most of) the villains than the comics do. For example, when he's introduced in the comics Governor is already batsh*t insane and chops Rick's hand off. But in the show you really get to see him descend further and further into madness. And Shane was WAY more interesting in the show. Though so far I feel like the comics portray Negan's group (The Saviors) better. The thing that really keeps me going with the Walking Dead, above all else, are the characters. Some of my favorite and most memorable characters have come out of the series. Rick, Carl, Michonne, Andrea (comic version), Abraham, Governor, Negan, Jesus, Glenn, Maggie, TV Herschel, Daryl, Tyreese, TV Shane... the list goes on.

We have to pick a song for Humanities clas tomorrow and I picked this
Falls under man vs self
I picked this cause it's about him overcoming his drug addiction, coping with his mother's death, and being re-born, basically.

Being Dakota Runnels must be fun: "So, what does your Dad do?" "Um, he, er, wears facepaint and acts like a gay man on TV." "Oh right...What about your Uncle?" "He, erm, wears facepaint and acts like a crack addict on TV." "Mm-hmm. What did your Grandad do?" "He was a big fat man who danced around in polka dots on TV." "Oh." What about her Mom.

Kalisto is a straight Rey clone, though. He even says some of Rey's exact dialogue. I hope Ryback squashes him at WM.
