Perfect, reminded me of a lot of stuff in the comics I forgot, explains everything really well, yay!

An Analysis of Rick and His Pursuit of Jessie

It is a truth nearly universally accepted that the Jessie/Rick “romance” from The Walking Dead comic has been fraught with issues – big time issues. I will not catalog all of them as others have written lengthy analysis on the topic (from the sexist trope of women in refrigerators, from the worrying way they portrayed domestic violence, to Rick’s predatory behavior around Jessie prior to learning she was in trouble, etc.). What keeps tickling my brain is: why did they botch it so very badly?

(Note: This is not necessarily a defense of Rick, but rather an alternative way of looking at his behavior. It made me feel better writing it.)

The sadly, very easy answer is: "The Walking Dead" is horror.

Although we have made great strides in making other genres more acceptable by the general public, (think fantasy, like "Game of Thrones", or espionage, like "Homeland", or even, *shudder*, romance, like "Outlander",) other genres, (especially horror, but also science fiction,) are still thought of as somehow 'lesser' by people, so of course anything that falls into a ghettoized genre can't be any good to them, whether they've actually watched it or not.

This has been the fight of my life, trying to show people that incredible art exists in all genres, and that horror exists in all other genres, all the time. At any rate, I'll save the rest of the soapbox rant for another day, but that is the answer to your question.

Please REBLOG. Thank you.

The reason to watch this version is the last bit, they've pushed the whisperer audio way way up. So, if you didn't hear anything in the walker noises on the sdcc trailer, this time it's much more audible.

Rick Grimes’ final episodes are previewed in the trailer for The Walking Dead’s ninth season. Andrew Lincoln has confirmed that this will be his last season, so it will be interesting to see how his exit pans out.

This video is nearly identical to the trailer that debuted at San Diego Comic-Con, so don’t expect any new footage. Based on Robert Kirkman’s comic book series of the same name, the show returns on October 7 on AMC.

Lincoln stars with Norman Reedus, Danai Gurira, Melissa McBride, Lauren Cohan, Alanna Masterson, Christian Serratos, Josh McDermitt, Seth Gilliam, Ross Marquand, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Avi Nash, and Callan McAuliffe.
