No chance... there's still plenty of story left in the graphic novels. The pacing has been spot on this series imo.
I agree. its getting ridiculous for me....mainly for the following reasons....
1) they seem to be fighting over a relatively small patch of land, when presumably large areas of America are still available. why not just go live elsewhere ?
2) the amount of bullets they just shoot aimlessly at buildings and dead things. its like watching the A-Team.
3) the amount of opportunities they have not taken to kill the person they seem intent on killing.
4) everything else...
It got crap a good few seasons ago, that is when I stopped watching it. I now watch Van Helsing the series, on season 2 now, cannot see it going on for 7 seasons though
Have religiously read the comic series. It's brilliant.
The TV show by now is turgid, boring and not worth watching.
it was great at the outset, the whole concept of how to survive and how human interaction would resort to the lowest common denominator. however they aren't afraid of the walkers anymore, so its raison d'etre has sort of vanished, now its just a gangster series
The TV series is also correcting mistakes made in the graphic novel ( Comic? How very dare you... ).
One example was the Governor chopping Rick's hand off in the graphic novel.
Both are the same source material, envisaged differently. TV Governor, for example was way more nuanced from the start - graphic novel showed him to be a psycho from the first panel.
TV series has also had issues - Darabont left after first series, almost wanted film type money spent on the series. As a result, Dale was written out earlier as the actor left in sympathy.
"Humans killing zombies" doesn't exactly scream longevity. That was also the point of the graphic novel. Walkers are easyish to deal with, it's the way civilisation has changed as a consequence that's now the issue. Laws, mores no longer apply. Society reverting to base instincts.
Gangster? Hardly. The whole point is Negan isn't this big evil baddy. There's a reason why he is the way he is, a reason why his world view has some validity. Rick's naivety vs Negan's practicality. That's something the graphic novel explores further over time.
