I really don't wanna see Rick die


I'm just not ready for that, we've been with this guy for 8 years now leading the show, being the anchor, the one holding everything together. This show just wont be the same without him, i really wont know who to look at as the leader after he goes, cause really no one can feel his shoes, the show wont ever recover from Rick dying.

I don't care who they put in charge, Maggie, Carol, Daryl, it doesn't matter they'll never truly feel like the leader or the star of the show, that will always be Rick Grimes.

I know they're gonna kill him, but part of me wants to hope him, Michonne and Judith leave everyone and go off into the sunset to be together on their own and leave it open for him to come back at some point down the line. But i know that likely aint how he leaves the show.

I heard a rumor that he may not be dying. Nothing worse than the thought of him being torn apart in a horde. I don't want to see that.
But I don't know..I think Michonne and Judith are still going to be a part of the show and I can't see any viable way that he'd just walk away from them.

I mean they are setting it up and promoting it as if you're gonna see Rick die this season, but they could swerve everyone and have him exit the show in a way that keeps him alive.

reply

I feel you, but luckily I was over all the characters two seasons ago.

Yeah, as much as they tried to avoid it, this was Rick's story and now, more than ever, will be apparent how big a mistake was to kill Carl to keep Negan alive. I mean, I'm not partial to Carl myself, at all, but without Rick he was the natural new focus of the show.

Anyway, it doesen't really matter if Rick dies or leaves, his story's over for good and that's what's really matters.

Rumor has it Kirkman is proposing killing off Rick in the comics to coincide with his departure from the series.

I'm ready for the show to end so I'm ok with it. I'm just watching it now because I have to see this through to the end because I liked season I so much. I've found the show more annoying than enjoyable for several years now.

I've really loved this show over the years, but it's been declining ever since they did what is in my opinion their best episode ever, which was the season 6 premiere, when Negan is revealed and does his damage. It has gone downhill since that amazing episode.

I won't really have much interest in the show after Rick is gone. He was the anchor. You wanted to see him stick it out until the end.

I don't care enough about the newer characters. Wish I did. Tara is still completely useless to me. I like Daryl more as a side character who doesn't say much. I hear Maggie is leaving too.

This show needs to wrap up quick. It's better to burn out than to fade away.

reply

Um, the actor is leaving, not the character.

reply

You think they can recast him?

reply

Sure, they can find another european actor that's always soaking in sweat. I'll miss the actor, but the show must go on.

reply

I agree. Many fine British actors. Just recast him.

reply

NO! He cannot be recast. It just won't work. He is much too iconic in this role. It's better to kill him rather than that.

Isn’t he kiwi?

Pretty sure that means the character is finished.

I don't think fans want another actor playing Rick. It's weird.

reply

hope all the main characters get killed off. They're all horrible actors and annoying

reply

None of us do. 😭
