The whole thing was just.weird and left more questions than answers about Daryl as a character. "He returned to find her gone and didn't even shed a tear or look distraught at all. " has shown more emotion in his platonic relationships with his family than he showed with Leah," she continued, wishing the audience was in his head a little more on Sunday's episode. She just didn't find that the show did her justice in her introduction. "The relationship between Daryl and Leah fell flat for me," told Insider over Twitter, saying that she didn't really have any problems with Leah. While some fans are confused as to why "TWD" is introducing a love interest for Daryl so late on the show, others seem, at the least, somewhat more receptive of the pairing the longer they sit with the episode. When the episode was released Thursday on AMC+, Insider asked fans who have been following us their thoughts on the latest reveal. If you were following segments of #TWDFamily on social media in February, there was initially a lot of backlash over the idea of Leah's introduction before seeing it on screen. In the comics, Maggie attempted suicide because she lost her brother and father.Weeks before Sunday's episode aired, details about Leah leaked online. (And by “adjust,” I mean shortchange other characters and kill them off prematurely.) So for the sake of the future of Walking Dead, it’s time to get rid of Daryl for good.Ĭorrection, March 27, 2015: This post originally misstated that in the comics Beth’s death prompted Maggie’s suicide attempt. ![]() As long as he’s on the show, the writers will be forced to adjust the narrative in the comic books, since Daryl was never in the comics to begin with. Daryl doesn’t just weigh the narrative down-he also disrupts multiple characters’ story arcs. All we’re left with is his far less interesting invincible exterior. But for five seasons, the writers have proven they’re unwilling to let their brooding hero open up about it, and when viewed from the outside only, it’s hard to engage with that inner turmoil. It’s been pretty heavily implied for several seasons, from the time he first became so focused on finding Sophia to the time he grabbed that book, that Daryl was abused as a child. (Petitions aren’t exactly rare for this fandom, to be fair-here’s one to build a statue of Rick on horseback in Atlanta.) I’m still holding out hope that the writers really do have a slow-burning plan to develop Daryl. There’s a whole group of viewers who say, “If Daryl dies, we riot.” This has been a popular battle cry for years, complete with T-shirts and petitions. I know it’s unlikely that Daryl will die. And at this point, being good at killing stuff isn’t enough to make you special on The Walking Dead-everyone except the baby and the useless priest can hold their own in combat. Because his inner workings are so hazy, Daryl’s distinguishing features are his abilities, not his personality. We’re only given crumbs to work with when imagining what could possibly lie within, like that poignant moment at Grady Memorial Hospital when the book he’d picked up about treating childhood abuse falls out of his bag in front of Carol, a domestic violence survivor herself. But after all that’s happened, Daryl is still basically just a not-racist version of his former loner self-with longer hair. Since Season 1, we’ve seen Good Guy Rick, Ricktatorship Rick, Farmer Rick, and Crazy Hallucinating Rick, among others. We watched Rick go off the deep end after losing his wife, Lori. Daryl is always in action, and never gets to take the kind of reflective pauses that give other surviving core characters like Rick and Michonne such depth. ![]()
