AMC has released three (three!) shows set in The Walking Dead universe this year despite the main show ending just last November.
is now a woman. I’m not at all opposed to compelling female bad guys. Alpha inwas a chilling nemesis and a great change of pace from Negan. But since then almost every villain has been a woman, including:Season 11. Sure, Lance Hornsby and the Pope were also bad guys, but they were more like mini-bosses. She was the main antagonist. .Inwe were thrown a red herring, made to think that The Croat was the big bad, but we learned by the end that his boss was the Dama .we have another female villain.
I genuinely do enjoy Daryl. Norman Reedus is great. The potential for a cool Norman Reedus show is there, but I’m not feeling it here—not this premise. Not the idea that he is a “prophesied” hero come to escort The Chosen One. People have complained that the show rips offand I can see how that’s already begun in the first episode. The comparison will not be flattering. And sure, even that show/game is using an old trope but still. It’s fresh in our collective heads.
