Except neither of us has any way of knowing what they're going to do with his character. The difference, though, is that I actually have some factual information to go on about what kind of character this person is supposed to be playing and you do not. Two different things.

Learn reading comprehension.

I said I HAVE read the comics. And the novels.

I also realize the difference between adaptations in different mediums. Especially with The Walking Dead, which is significantly different from the comics that they're based on.

I did read and fully understand that you have read the comics. That is irrelevant. The comics don't hold information that reinforces your side of this argument, and they do mine. My point is that the comics tell you what kind of character he is supposed to be playing and that is more information about what they could do to his character than you have. So, no, you learn reading comprehension.

Do you think Carol is anything like her comicbook counterpart, despite having a daughter?

(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Are you really that dense?

The comics DON'T hold information regarding the show unless the show chooses to include it! The show has deviated SIGNIFICANTLY from the comic. So it's completely asinine to assume what's true in the comic is true in the show.

I didn't say the comics hold information regarding the show. I said they hold information that reinforces my side of the argument. The character the actor who plays the Governor is supposed to be portraying is a horrible piece of shit in the comics. Since neither of us know what they plan to do with his character in the show from this point onward but the only idea we could possibly have about it is information from the comics, my side of the argument is stronger.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Then you're making assumptions based on very little.

If the Governor was at all the depraved sadist from the comics, they would have shown it already as opposed to downplaying it.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh and claiming he isn't a shitty person in the show isn't making assumptions?

(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
When did I claim that?

(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
DA

There are certain things they are never going to be able to air. There's a reason AMC is the network that has TWD. All the other ones didn't want to touch it for the gore factor it already had, never mind if they'd brought some of that background into it. In short, the Governor is as fucked up as ever, but they can't air a lot of it. But they have said this is where we see him devolve. Ala Shane I suppose. He's been holding on for a while, but he's losing it and he was always going to.

"Downplaying it"? I've only watched the show, and I can tell he's battier than a Christoper Nolan trilogy, and a psycho to boot. What show are you watching>

(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Downplaying it in comparison to the comic, Einstein.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
DA

The comics would also tell you that Rick Grimes can't clap.

Just saying.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
If they were going to show that the governor had molested his daughter they would have done it before they killed her off.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
So? This isn't just about that. If you think that is the only bad thing he has done, you are completely misinformed. And even if he doesn't "actually rape" someone in the show, using the threat of rape to control someone is super fucked up.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
No, but you said he was a pedophile like that was a fact established in the show.

Even if he's still a horrible person, they're obviously toning his character down from the comics and making him a little more sympathetic.
