How dumb are the saviors?


Carol kills the bunch of them, they say forget searching for her, they ambush her while carrying the guns to the truck, they keep their fingers off the trigger cause you know, the person that killed the bunch of your guys won't kill you, and they still keep her alive so she can find more ways to kill them. It's a wonder how they even survived this long.

They're no dumber than Rick and his assault team who confronted Negan at his compound. They had thirty guns trained on him from less than fifty feet away...and didn't kill him. Instead we got another "why you should surrender before it's too late" speech.

Every character on this show behaves like an idiot because the idiot writers keep force-feeding us these ridiculous scenes just to insert some DRAMA!!! into the show.

Also they all just stood there firing at that vehicle that was giving her cover. Instead of like one or two of them splitting off to flank her. Cos it's much smarter to just keep standing there wasting ammo. It was terribly exciting too watching them just fire endlessly at an inanimate object. Fucking dumb.

Carol wasn't too smart there either. She could have dumped a mag into the engine, taken out the tyres in a few seconds and then gone to help the king and the remaining saviours wouldn't have been able to leave with the fiftys without transferring them to a new vehicle.

I was thinking the same thing myself - shoot the tires!

Although with Carol, the Saviors thought there were others around. She probably wasn't the badass who took out their guys upstairs. Her little routine, hi I'm a soccer mom who got handed a gun and really has no idea what she's doing so please don't hurt me, worked as always. I can understand that part.

Why I want to know is, why do the bad guys never think to aim low? If someone's taking cover behind a car then fire underneath it. Same thing when houses are getting blasted by a machine gun and people escape harm by just lying down on the floor. Aim low! You'll at least hit a leg or something and disable them.

reply

They wouldn't even need to aim low. The only parts of vehicle that provide protection are the engine and wheel areas to some extent.

reply

What I mean is, people always get down low and the bad guys always shoot high.

reply

Unless they're running away and then the bad guys shoot at the ground near their feet. I guess henching doesn't attract the best and brightest heh.

It takes a special kind of skill for five guys with automatic weapons to open up on you and hit nothing but dirt. :)
