i read the comics, and tbh it's just tough to adapt a character like negan. it's true what you say about how he comes across in the comics, but i just don't see it working on screen, it has to be a little bit different. so all considered i think jdm is doing a good job, although the writing could probably be better,…

he went after dwight and his family when they left, and sent him after that other dude. he wants to control them; no way he'd let them just leave.

but the considerable lack of resources or places to hide, especially in a big group, makes it incredibly difficult to even think about leaving. not to mention that they've been on the road before, and they know very well that there are other negans doing more or less what he does. there's nowhere to go.

the problem with the show is that there's so much lost in translation. gimple wants to stick to the comics, which fine, but then do it properly. instead what he does is adapting the comics but in a way that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

and who's to say negan & his lot wouldn't get them on the road? i find some of these comments e.g. why don't they just kill him, why don't they get away etc really hard to get. why do people who live in actual dictatorships in real life don't just leave or kill their dictator, so they can be free and over and done…

there are more layers to negan in the comics though. idk, maybe the show will get there as well, so far they haven't so people who have not read the comics are dreading it.

tbf, would anyone care about this sort of continuity?

kirkman doesn't care about a different audience. he never has. and that's why he's always so adamant to push comic material that just doesn't work into the show.

i never watched a show but i have an opinion about it lmao. when are people on the internet going to realise that their completely uninformed opinions aren't interesting at all?

I don't know if it's because I've watched TVD for years, where everyone dates everyone's ex, but to me

lol exactly. marnie also made a comment about jessa stealing her friends' boyfriends in season 1.

this. and i don't get the need to rationalise friendships anyway, it comes a point where your friends are a bit like your family, and you love them because you do.

i noticed this as well. people who criticise the show the most, are viewers who don't find hannah relatable or don't like LD. which tbh is fine, different taste for different people, but idk if i'd be able to watch this show if i found hannah so unbearable.

adam was living with hannah at the time.

hannah went all the way to get jessa out of rehab when she asked (after being incredibly worried because jessa disappeared), with adam and shosh's help, still she was the one jessa called for help. when jessa's marriage ended they had that scene together in the bath which showed how close they actually are, and jessa…

the thing is, jessa and hannah's relationship wasn't a failing friendship until hannah found out jessa was dating the only guy she ever loved (according to hannah anyway).

really? i see the comments, but those are mostly shippers so shipper goggles and all, but the (admittedly few) reviews i read were calling jessa/adam unhealthy and uncomfortable after this fight. maybe some reviewers are shippers as well :P

Adam said himself during their argument that he didn't like Jessa, which is one of the biggest reasons I can't understand their sudden connection.

i wouldn't call two characters who can get so violent during fights 'suited', even if we talk fictional and not rl it seems like a stretch.

I seem to recall from the earlier seasons that Marnie and Hannah were best friends, and that Jessa would just sort of pop up when she wanted to cause some chaos. She's never really treated Hannah like a best friend, so that assertion struck me as false.
