I have always found it kinda backwards when people get so religious during zombie apocalypses. Even if the universe magician is real, why would you promote that kind of behavior? Why would you attempt to find solace with the guy who just made your baby eat your other baby? Enter Carl, who doesn't bother with unnecessarily complicated philosophy, or complex talking points, he simply tells the truth, and tells it effectively.
Hit play, and applaud Walking Dead's true champion, Carl, the atheist voice of reason in a group of god-fearing idiots. Bravo sir, now, if you could only stay in the fucking house.
Carl was kinda annoying in season because he was never where he was supposed to be no matter what anyone told him. Toward the end he gets better.
ReplyDeleteI season 3, he really grows up and supports the group well, better than most adults in the show.
I think that's Kirkman's point, is that the person best suited for the apocalypse is one who grew to adulthood alongside it.
