Dale was never built to survive the apocalypse as he was a man of reason and consideration. He was the moral center of the group though and his loss hit everyone really hard as afterwards they all started to become considerably more brutal and willing to do whatever it takes to survive.

And that’s why all those people shut up after Dale was gone. After it all got so much worse, and the stakes so much higher. Dale became the second fan favorite after Daryl imo, and only after he died. Because we all remembered Dale at the prison and Terminus, because we wished he …

Apr 14, 2023 · Dale gets under my skin, he is so annoying and it’s partly due to the acting. Had Scott Wilson (Hershel) portrayed Dale I probably would have liked him more. I liked his death as it demonstrated he severely underestimated the threat of this world. I would have liked to see him confront the realities of people as the eminent danger.

Dale was too naive to see that even though Shane was wrong, he made a valid point about survival. Dale couldn’t understand why humanity couldn’t prevail. He was wrong, but everything he said served a purpose. Had they gone through with it, it could have very much changed their perspective on people and led to horrible outcomes down the road.

I actually rewatched the episode where he dies recently. For years my hatred for S2 Carl blinded me from a simple fact: if anyone got Dale killed, its fucking Dale. Rewatch that episode and try to tell me otherwise. The only other person that may have put themselves on the death-plate faster is Andrea - he was a complete moron in the episode.

Jan 10, 2022 · Dale was a good person but was truly useless in an apocalypse. While he was a moral compass like Hershel, unlike Hershel he couldn't come up with practical solutions or motivate others to seek other options.

May 20, 2022 · DALE AGREES TO KILL RANDALL: Now first, if Dale were to survive past Season 2, most likely he'd have to stick with the group and not walk off in the middle of the night just to get eaten alive. So instead, he agrees that Randall is too dangerous and should be killed.

Dale was the moral heart at the center of Darabont's TWD the best episodes were during that era, to me TWD was a lesser show after Darabont was fired, the writing took major hit in quality and depth, Darabont's probe of human nature in response to crisis has been a hallmark of his work, best shown in The Mist, but also Shawshank and The Green Mile, TWD after Darabont just …

Mar 5, 2015 · I think Kirkman has said the walking dead is the story of Carl growing up in the apocalypse. However, I don't think anyone can deny who the main character of the show is/who is top billed/who gets the most screen time/who the show opened up on/the person who gets the most closing shots is.

Apr 26, 2023 · Well would ya look at that. Getting Rick & Michonne back instantly solved 95% of the problems with this show/universe. You can keep your Kellys, Yumikos, Reapers & other red shirts. The Walking Dead NEEDS its leaders & I’m tired of trying to convince myself otherwise. S9-11 it was barely holding on.
