I don't read the comic, so I can't really give much weight to them or care about them much. I can just go on the way the story feels to me having watched years of this saga.
I did not like Judith in this episode. I hope that will fall in line and get better, but in general I hate the never-ending parade of unruly kids on TV, and particularly here where it would really go over so badly. Someone with this terrible attitude, and I'm talking about Judith here, would have been dead or a pariah a long time ago, so it ruins the story, or makes it hard to buy into.
Essentially, what they are doing here is building on our attachment to the brand of TWD in order to push us to watch a whole new show that is the same, but totally different, and so the continuity and sensibility of the characters are a kind of key aspect of that, don't you think?

What they're doing with Judith, I find it interesting enough to want to see where they go with her. Their long term plans seem to be to bring in younger cast members and younger audience. I expect the actors from the early seasons will start cycling out, or be reduced to recurring roles. They have already brought 2 actors from The 100 (though 1 is already dead), plus Alycia on FTWD. It changes the dynamic a bit, mixing old and young characters.
One thing I liked from this episode is when Magna's group sees Alexandria for the first time and become amazed. It was a lot like when Rick's group first went into the gates. But this time, everything inside was built by our group, and we know what they had to go through to make that happen.

She was a main character on The 100 for 1 or 2 seasons but left when she got FTWD. The actress who plays Magna was also on The 100.
