Tbf, I meant generally.

Its the most common reason people seem to have for why they quit the show.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 5 points 2 days ago

Probably because it seemed like a reversal. Glenn is nobody in the comics so when this happens.

Yes, but is their reason like mine where it isn't the death itself but how they lead up to it with the stupid trash can fake out and that they had already ruined any reason for rooting for the other characters?

It was the last straw in a series of decisions by the showrunners, not something that came out of the blue and ruined an otherwise enjoyable show.

I hated the cliffhanger ... not showing the person(s) was just cheap.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

The trash can thing didn't help, to be sure.

I stopped watching mostly because of the ridiculousness that these guys had the logistics to shut down every single road and trail away from there, during a zombie apocalypse no less. No groups ran into problems? None? Then glen died. And I tried to watch it longer but the hopelessness led to pointlessness.
