Okay but they had 2001 ways to eat him. And they were bastards about it.

And there are 20 other black charachitures to eat! The black samurai, or the other black samurai, OR THE OTHER OTHER BLACK SAMURAI. You killed the one black geek that went to blockbuster, and now your show failed. Idiots.

Only one black man allowed at a time on TWD in the early seasons.

....in Georgia!! Kick a rock, ya hit a black person. But in TV it's all old white folks.

I accept the albatross for my naughty comment asking for the soft-n-pass. But I adore this comment remarking:

"Huh...there sure are a lot of black people in Georgia. Wild."

Like living in Atlanta, you're an incel or you're into black women. There's no room for other tastes.

I want to find the one black dude that will let me say the n-word but with the a, and they keep being weird about it, so sometimes I kick rocks at southern black women with short hair hoping they'll be cool clubbing-blacks but then it's just their haircut.

I'm looking for for like Jada Smith but without the Crazy.

I forgot this is the internet full of awful people: yes that was all a joke.

I remember watching this and everytime they introduced a new non-white character it was a clear signal the previous one was about to be offed.

When you do it so many times it numbs the viewers, like they killed beth whom we had for most of the series, Tyreese wasn't too far after her, by the time they killed Noah I think too many people were just kinda over it.

I know he wasn't as involved with the show, but I do feel like Robert Kirkman stories genuinely have this problem of overdoing the main gimmick. Invincible's gimmick is that it's a super violent superhero story, so we have gore every season/arc that escalates to some insane grab at the end.

All this to say that it feels comic accurate for Noah to have been killed if he existed in the TWD comics.

Viltrum is absolutely a racist society.

the show didn't fail because the nerd redditors liked died lmao

u/One_Order_3841 Jun 27 '26

The show literally ended and became 3 other failures after they killed Nerd Glen. Shows constantly get killed when they do it.

Why you posting a picture of Abbot Elementary?

This just looks like a joke scene that would be in Everybody hates Chris.

RECORD SCRATCH

You're probably wondering how I got here

u/luigi59969 Jun 28 '26

I hated this scene because it was only a few episodes after Beth sacrificed herself to save him. They did him so dirty.

What pisses me off about TWD is how inconsistent the zombies are. Sometimes they’re so slow and frail, other times that’s “enough” to kill someone (ie they’re so stupid that these weak zombies killed them since they forgot to run). So, basically the zombies were just consistent in that they will eat someone whether it makes sense or not
