Goodbye Rick Grimes after six years of company

The legacy of the previous season is clearly revealed shortly after the opening of the season, and the root cause of many contradictions is that Rick is unwilling to execute Negan, compared to the secondary reason of helping the Salvation Army remnants. It's not easy to lead the team when people's hearts are scattered. This can be seen from the attitudes of Maggie and Daryl.

The most touching thing was Rick's farewell. This man who has been with us for nine years, even though he was seriously injured, still supported the bridge with a strong desire to survive and will. In order to protect his companions, he sacrificed his heroic actions to make the audience and fans collectively cry (later title tribute to this one scene). In addition, Shane, Sasha, and Hershel's three cameo comebacks are also nostalgic.

The Salvation Army's rebellion and Rick's departure left the Alliance torn apart and disconnected over the next few years; it was the lack of familiarity between the communities that gave Whisperers and Alphas a chance. To be honest, among the ten people in the famous scene, I only feel sorry for Fat Tara, and I have no feeling for the death of others.

But then again, the most unjust death in the ninth season is TWD's first combat force, Jesus. It is said that the actor and the screenwriter and director have different ideas that led to his withdrawal from the crew. What a pity for this martial arts.

It stands to reason that Henry, who is far more mature than his peers and was originally qualified to be the new young master, but because he lacked the love of the same age and the opposite sex, he repeatedly did stupid things and eventually died because of it (it is said that most of the audience responded by applauding. , the director's first hand to pull hatred and then sacrifice the role is really wonderful), Carol is completely broken after losing his son for the third time.

I have to say that Negan's repentance and whitewashing are indeed expected. After all, with the passage of time, most people gradually forgot the hatred of the past, coupled with the character (or actor)'s own charisma and redemption, looking forward to the day when it will become the main fighting force of the community.

After the Salvation Church, the Kingdom of God finally became the second community that disintegrated naturally. The residents were collectively merged into the mountain village, and the glory of the past no longer existed.

PS In memory of Scott Wilson, the old man RIP

A New Beginning quotes

  • Michonne: I'm glad you won your election.

    Maggie Greene: I'm glad I grew up on a farm.

  • Michonne: The famous Rick Grimes!

    Rick Grimes: God dam it!, don't you start too.

    Michonne: It's sweet, just don't let it get to your head.

    Rick Grimes: No, not today, that's for sure.

    Michonne: Yeah, I don't envy Maggie right now.

    Rick Grimes: No.

    [Both sigh]

    Michonne: Rick, seeing his name on the wall. Did we do the right thing, sometimes I think maybe we should've just killed him?

    Rick Grimes: I think about it a lot. But killing him wouldn't have changed what we'd have seen today. They don't want Negan, they want food.

    Michonne: You don't know that Rick, not for sure. I've been thinking, maybe we need an agreement between all the communities, like: "This is what we believe; This is how we treat each other; And this is what happens when we don't."

    Rick Grimes: Yeah. It's good. It feels like the right time.

    Michonne: We always couldn't before because we were always running and fighting.

    Rick Grimes: It's smart, building up something like that, it could pull people closer together. You know Daryl's not happy, he's got me worried about things breaking down.

    Michonne: He wouldn't say something of it, if it wasn't important. He cares.

    Rick Grimes: Too much sometimes.

    Michonne: Hey, if he's worried there's a reason. So what do we do about it?

    Rick Grimes: I think we need to fix that bridge.

    Michonne: Ok, I'll get the people to agree a charter.

    Rick Grimes: Charter? Not a constitution?

    Michonne: Carter.

    Rick Grimes: Huh, ok. Tomorrow. Ok.

    Michonne: Yeah.

    Rick Grimes: How did I get so lucky finding you?

    Michonne: We both lost enough. It's time we won a little, don't you think?... Ooh, the famous Rick Grimes!
