Yeah, I'll never understand why writers think killing everyone off won't stop being shocking after the 5th major character death. All it does is make you stop caring about the characters who are still alive, since they'll probably be killed off anyway, so why bother?

The Walking Dead games ended up being super boring for this reason.

I feel like The Walking Dead as a whole has this problem and was one of the reasons I stopped watching it. It felt like every episode was just waiting for another "SHOCK MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH" and you can only play that card so many times.

Especially after they started on the "SURPRISE WE WERE KIDDING THIS MC DIDN'T DIE AFTER ALL" only to go "lol but now they did" one or two episodes afterwards. That's just annoying.

It makes the moments when they're trying to make us care about a character who we just met an five minutes ago feel ridiculously obvious

I remember that episode where Michionne and Glen got separated and she was stuck with that guy who we had never seen before but who all the other main characters acted like they knew real well

And he got bit and he wrote a note and was like "Please give this to my wife in case something bad happens to me!"
Michionne handed the note back to him and was like "Don't worry, you'll be okay"
And I was just watching at home like "Yeah buddy, SURE you will"

No guesses to what happened to him before the episode was over

for me, it got to the point where at the end of season 2, i couldn't have been more done with it. fuck everything, i'm deliberately killing off both of you assholes and making clem take care of the baby her own damn self because i'm sick of this bullshit. good bye and good riddance, lmao.

and i think i ended up liking the wolf among us specifically because the stakes were never that high, so it's easier to get into it and just. accept your choices barely mean anything (when most of them are just "horribly disfigure this person or ask them politely to leave?" and everyone treats you like an asshole either way which is at least a pretty realistic take on human nature tbh), just admire the aesthetics and we're all good.

Was there ever a time when that wasn't a cliche? Like, would there have been a period of time where the death of that guy in Hunt for Red October who wanted to marry an American woman and raise rabbits or that one kid in every war movie ever who was gonna finally ask out/dance with/propose to his girl when he got home would have been a genuine shock?

[wannabe_influential]

It just happens so much in that show

A bigger twist would have been if that guy had survived to actually go home to his wife and die in peace (Or at least as peaceful as dying of a zombie bite would be)
