No you're not. It's hard to make a zombie movie I don't like but AMC figured out how to do it. The premise is great but the whole Rick, Shane and Lorie (rick's wife?) dynamic ruins the story. Add to that that Rick thinks he's freaking god and that just wraps it up as a no go. As characters go Rick is one of the most unlikeable I've ever seen.
I'm a fan of the comic book, and the story arc they just wrapped up, "Something to Fear," was alright. I think Kirkman and crew are trying to hark back to the prison arc by introducing cruel humans (The Saviors) who follow a cruel leader named Negan.
Without spoiling much, the character death in issue #100 was completely expected, but gruesome. What a way to go out.

Right, but we've been there, done that already. That was my take. Abraham and the character that Negan beats to death were my favorites. The comics got boring once they got to Alexandria to me.
I don't see how Rick thinks he's God, but he is definitely taking charge of the group now. I think he just got tired of dealing with Shane's constant second guessing and once Shane was gone, took on the leader role even more strongly. I love the Rick character.
The whole objective of any work of fiction (novel, film, tv show, play) is the suspension of disbelief. We all know that there will never be zombies, but to make a show that attempts to demonstrate how things might be without descending into camp, is a great thing. Nowadays, so many horror figures are so campy and silly. Gone is the vampire of Dracula and Salem's Lot. Now we have the bisexual goth pretty boy your teenage daughter wants to date. Ghosts and demons are no longer creatures of terror, but romantic leads.
WTH???
WTH???
Dang it, then why am I saving my ammo! Done went and ruined it for me.
I'm not bored yet. Mostly because Kirkman's work on "Invincible" got stale to me at one point, but then completely turned me around because the unexpected happened. So, I feel confident in him as a storyteller to keep things going in "Walking Dead."
Ditto, until his balls dropped at the end of the last season his character was pretty full of self-doubt and fear. Far from a god complex. Now his character appears, to me, to be dropping the hammer simply because he is too exhausted to continue to try other styles of leadership.
LOL. You guys would understand Rick better from the comics. They've done a decent job developing the characters like the comic but they've rushed it and its hard to follow.
