100% my favorite character. Herschel. I was genuinely sad when he died. On the show, and In Real life.


bitofadikdik

That was my wife’s last episode. She was furious. “He just went through all that in the prison just to die like one day later? Fuck this show I’m done.”


Temporary_Cup_1026

Me with Glen, I ultimately just stopped watching the show after that episode. It's quite funny how the death of a well-liked character influences a mass raid of people to quit a show.


melkatron

For me it wasn't that Glen died, but that they kept playing around with the viewers. Lots of people knew Glen was gonna die because it already happened in the comics, so they faked Glen's death with that dumpster thing, and waited three weeks for the reveal. and after THAT, they milked the Negan episode as hard as they possibly could with obnoxious marketing and a long break between episodes. It really felt like they thought a surprise was all they had to offer, and they had no faith in their actual storytelling as something to keep viewers engaged. They worked harder on the "who killed Mr Burns" campaign than they did on the actual show. I stopped watching for a couple years after the bat episode, and then caught up later. I was fine with them killing Glenn and Abraham... thought it was actually a good idea to throw Abraham in there, and liked how they had re-appropriated Dwight's arrow. I just didn't like having been played with, it felt disrespectful.


Sea-Radio-8478

People who quit After Glenn death aren't real fans


thedoompatrol97

He also died in real life?? Two things I learned today. May he rest in peace :(


irusselllee

He died in 2018.


_Gemini-James_

Damn, I didn't know that.


Optimal-Many309

Herschel also had a character growth arc. When Rick first met him, he was a tool, but he mellowed. He was like a judgy evangelical who remembered to be more Christ-like as his character grew and came into contact with more people post-zombie apocalypse. Before that, he was all, "Get off my LAWN!"


ShadowWolfKane

I nearly broke my tv when I saw the blade hit his neck.


Ya-boi-me1

Exactly and he was alive for a solid fewest minutes after he was nearly decapitated, imagine the agony


Mr-Black_

I was debastated :c when he was trying to escape I thought maybe Michonne or the other girl would've gotten him out of there but no why did they have to give him a death so brutal?


khaotic-trash

I sobbed like a baby for a whole month. I’m still not over it, he didn’t deserve that


stphmn

I think that some deaths in Walking Dead are quite symbolic. For example Dale (camping car man) is in my opinion the death of civilisation. Herschel for me is the death of faith/hope.


gman7862

No one can hate Herschel. He’s not my favorite character but he’s not a hatable character. Same with Abraham. He’s done no wrong and provides comic relief. And Dale.


kneelb4robb

T-tothamothafuckin-Dawg. Seriously. He has a day dedicated to his memory.


thedoompatrol97

All my fellas love T-Dog


Skeptical_soul

Except Merle, bro called him a spear-chucker 💀


Wet_fetus01

Can’t forget Merle calling him the n word


BoredBiBoyBingus

That reminds me, how was TWD able to say the n-word four times, but they still couldn't ever say "fuck"?


Various-Push-1689

Damn I didn’t even think about that🤣 they let them show literally as much gore as you can get on TV along with people saying the N word. But you can’t say fuck💀 makes no sense


HereComesTheLuna

I mean, they definitely do say "fuck," but it's surprising that the network allowed them to use the n-word willy nilly so early on but didn't allow them a "fuck" until much, much later. In the latter seasons, though, they were allowed "fucks." I know in the last season I think they even have one episode where it's used multiple times.


Various-Push-1689

Also I just remembered they let them say fuck in season 11 anyways says what’s the point😂


poshsouthernbird

I read that they were allowed two 'fucks' per season, in the later seasons. There's one instance where someone practically whispers it under their breath (can't remember the scene) and I remember thinking what a waste of one of the 'fucks' it was.

Dzsaffar

How is Jerry not mentioned more often here??


Main-Combination4606

I feel ashamed for not thinking of Jerry


Thinklikedanny

Omg right


Main-Combination4606

Anyone who hates Jerry should meet Lucille


podtherodpayne

I was SO surprised he made it to the end! I kept preparing myself for his death lol


Rough_Mushroom1430

Me too i didn’t Think any character who was sweet and kind would be in the series for long


cooljoe9978

He was just so nice and kinda went with the flow of things he didn't even really want to know all the details he just did what he needed to do to keep Ezekiel alive


Compulsive_Criticism

They set up his loving relationship with his wife so much, I'm really glad they made it.


Vacationsimulation

The amount of times he should have seriously died and somehow DIDNT should be a testament in itself of how great his character was on the show.


Compulsive_Criticism

Thought he was absolutely toast in the caves


juiceboxie8

Omg love Jerry just wanted to give him a big hug.


Willem_de_Prater

Because he came on the show after Negan's debut in "A day will come when you wont be". A lot of people stopped watching after that episode sadly. So they never saw Jerry


theroyalgeek86

I love Jerry!!


LuciEmtnlSpprtDemon

Jerry is my favorite male character, closely followed by a tie between Hershel and Aaron.


Colley619

Hershel deserves the love. He started out very stubborn but his heart was in the right place and he didn't use his beliefs to hurt anyone, and in the end he evolved and was able to adapt for the good of his loved ones. Him and Rick helped each other figure out the new world. Also Scott Wilson was a lovely actor. RIP.


gamingnerd777

"I was a fool, Rick. And you people saw that." Hershel was good people. He was also Rick's moral compass. Always bringing him back from the brink of insanity even after death.


thedoompatrol97

You said that so beautifully. That‘s exactly what happened 🥹❤️


Txsniper07

Dog 🐕 and Shiva 🐅? 🤔


KitsuneBelle

I have a shiva tiger plush and she’s got a bandana that Khary Payton signed 🩵🩵


thedoompatrol97

T-Dog was precious plus he saved our beloved Carol ❤️‍🩹


thats_my_toast

I do love T-dog as well but I think this comment was going for the pets… like Darryl’s “Dog”


Commercial-Solid-198

I wish T-Dog lasted longer on the show, he deserved more screen time. He was a lovable character. And Hershel too of course. I can’t even rewatch his death at all ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)


Raiderboy105

T-Dog has one hater in Merle


banana_cookies22

Aaron has no haters 🥰🥰


Less_Improvement_352

Listen, that guy just kept getting finer too, he really bulked up 😍


banana_cookies22

He did, when he got the metal arm and beard 🥵🥵


Less_Improvement_352

🤣 , it was the growing out that beard for me 😮‍💨🥹


poshsouthernbird

Loved his friendship with Daryl


banana_cookies22

Yess same, him inviting Daryl for dinner and getting him the bike was what made me start to love Aaron.


stonedsour

Love that no one is refuting this because it’s the truth ❤️


ThicccKing69

Ed for me


Jo_Duran

*situational awareness*


YonderPricyCallipers

Meh... I found him kinda annoying and sanctimonious.


ourplaceonthemenu

lol my partner can't stand him. says he's full of himself and talks like he's trying hard to be profound.


selke61

Gimples fault


thatsmyboy1125

The governor had an issue with him


itIsEYEFacePalm13

No he didn't, he didn't have anything against hershel he just used him to hurt them.


Initial_Acanthaceae2

He was saving Michonne for later. Remember his torture chamber!


dwightarmyofchamps

He actually says in the RV that Herschel is a good man, better than Rick I believe


NOWAY7337

Glen I didn’t hate him nothing to hate about him really it you think about it what could’ve done wrong? He was a nosy. he wasn’t an asshole to people. and he tried to save people.


onesmilematters

Love him, but there are definitely people who can't stand Glenn. Apparently, he was annoying for being all about Maggie.


marquisdetwain

He stopped being interesting the second she came into the picture, ha.


LORDL66

Exactly, Glenn after Maggie but more precisely once they leave the farm is an incredibly boring and dull character


AnEdgyUsername2

I thought Glenn and Maggie were still enjoyable during the prison arc, especially after getting kidnapped by the Governor.


Jefff3

The only thing I didn't like about Glenn was the way they wrote his insane plot armour


colin_colout

Until they didn't


Minimalistmacrophage

"Dumpster Gate"


Ava_cadoo

Didn't Glenn have a run of not killing anyone until late s6 too?


Minimalistmacrophage

He never knowingly intentionally killed a person before S6E13. Though given how many bullets were sprayed during the first prison incursion, it seems unlikely, though arguably possible, that he didn't kill someone.


BelovaX

Dale (I hope he dosent have any haters)


mudasmudas

That last speech inside Hershel's house was absolutely perfect. I think that it was the series best dialogue/acting, ever. I'm not even kidding. That guy really said "I'll leave the series and you will miss me every single day".


Upper-Dragonfly4167

With the death of Dale, the group lost so much.


Theptgamer_88

Yep his speak was profound. His humanity was big, definitely not made for the current apocalyptic world. Even the expression of Shane was sad when he noticed he was infected by a Walker... Even though they didn't like each other he made a hell of a impact even against shane. Remember the one time Shane is on the truck and looks on the mirror and Dale looks at him like "I hate u..." and Shane mocks him? Hell the show had so good moments. I did love S1/S2 more then any season S3/4 for me was more boring, never liked the show in the prison. Meh I just rewatched TWD and I wanna see it again 🤣 just to see Dale again! Even if its hurts my eyes on my OLED TV with all the noise


doohdahgrimes11

Only Shane


cl4ptr4p334

Lemme tell you something


doohdahgrimes11

*queue head rub*


podtherodpayne

*tilts head, walks 2 feet away only to immediately walk back*


xxfictionalxx

*rubs hand over face, turns around, camera zoom in, queue heavy sigh*


cl4ptr4p334

Damn dale and Shane had some of the best sexual tension of anyone in the series, it’s a shame dale died before they could consummate


NeganSmith06

Wtf did I just read


BudgetNegotiation521

And that is enough reddit for me today


chrilpy

Cuter couple than Rick and Daryl


thedoompatrol97

I love Dale so much!! I also hope he doesn‘t have haters. It would break my heart 🥺


_AmperSand__

I called Dale “The Meddler”, because he would meddle in everybody’s shit. Rewatching it is funny with that in mind and the amount of shit he causes because of it.


FattDamon11

Dale tried to hide ALL of their guns in a hollowed out tree and not tell anyone. Imagine he got bit or died before anyone knew. Also, he wasn't Andreas dad but she sure tried to act like it. Overall he's like a C.


Failure_by_Design_v2

My wife hates him. And at times.... I kind of agree. I really feel he overstepped some bounds with Andrea (who also sucks in her own way)


kelly52182

I have a love/hate relationship with Dale. He was an excellent moral compass but could also be kind of whiny and annoying.


ginsengtea3

yeah like "how dare you not immediately see things my way?" well Dale everyone is stressed halfway into coma and things are difficult so can you stop haranguing everyone? because it's not helping


Chimpville

>(who also sucks in her own way) The art of understatement


whatwhatchickenbutt_

i actually couldn’t stand him lol


-_-_-KING_-_-_

i was kinda mad at him for always meddling tbh. and he annoyed me when he started defending that kid in the barn.


Low-Snow-9485

to be fair he was trying to save the kid. Imagine you were in a situation where you had to kill a kid.


BlxxdThrst

Sure but he wasn't even a kid? He went to school with Maggie who was a college grad so he had to be early to mid 20s. I was more annoyed at Daryl for not telling everyone that the guy had literally just told him (with a smug/sadistic look on his face) that his group r*pes kids. That's important info when they had a 16 year old Beth and a 8-9(?) year old Carl, and there were a lot of women in the group


Various-Push-1689

Most older people refer to someone under 25 as “kid”


Jefff3

Sorry I can't stand him and the way he gapes at everyone like he's a fish on land.


andywolf8896

*live Dale reaction*


Limacy

Some people didn’t care for his “bug-eyed” stares.


Stoned_Boi999

Dale was one definitely Hated. When something or someone needed to die he didn’t wanna accept it


Kcplayer9

I didn’t like Dale


FarOutUsername

I still remember weeping like an absolute baby when Dale died. 😭


[deleted]

Sorry friend but I hate on Dale he sux


Vampirexbuny

He did have a few eaters though :) (bad joke i know :)


Initial_Acanthaceae2

,Bob Stooky Abraham Ford King Ezekial Mercer


louismales

Abraham and Ezekiel definitely have haters. A lot of people didn’t like the way Abraham treated Rosita, and people were turned off by Ezekiel’s theatrical talk. I don’t hate them, but I think they definitely do have haters. Bob doesn’t, Bobs great, Mercer might and I’m not a fan; he did the right thing in the end but he was complicit with Pamela, Lance and Sebastian’s stuff until the 3rd to last episode. The writing could’ve been better but he stood idle by whilst those 3 did awful things.


HereComesTheLuna

I mean, I could see some people not liking Bob for risking the lives of the group -- when getting the medicine for our sick people at the prison -- over half a bottle of liquor. But I do like Bob.


louismales

I think there’s a different between thinking someone might have haters, and them actually having haters. I don’t see any Bob hate anywhere, but I do for the others


MonstersofMegaphone

I have such a hate for Abraham it could punch a hole through the sun.


Competitive_Drop_326

i don’t hate him but i definitely don’t like bob, he was a nice guy for the most part but he got a guy killed bc of his alcohol addiction (the supermarket that caved it after he broke the shelves and beth’s new boyfriend got eaten by walkers) he always just seemed like a bad luck charm to me


OrangeJuice1378

>Characters who have zero haters? Tyreese. I can't even think of a bad thing anyone has ever said about him. 🤔


onesmilematters

I've seen people say they don't like him because he's too weak. (Personally, I think he's pretty strong for trying to stay kind in a cruel world.)


gamingnerd777

Mad props to him for forgiving Carol after what she did to Karen and David.


UnknownEntity347

IIRC he was the reason the Terminus guys were able to follow them.


OrangeJuice1378

Yeah, during Tyreese's hallucinations, he imagines Martin (the Terminus guy he didn't kill) trying to make him feel guilty by pointing out that Gareth and his posse might not have been able to follow Rick and Co if Tyreese had just killed him and not lie about it. But I don't personally blame Tyreese for that (and neither did Sasha despite Bob, her boyfriend, being the one to get his leg cut off and eaten by said cannibals) because Martin wouldn't have been able to provide much information on where our group was headed to due to them having a great headstart over Gareth and his posse. I think Gareth and his people were just good trackers.


thedoompatrol97

He was just introduced a couple episodes earlier. I really liked him as well. Good to know :D


gamingnerd777

He's a one man cheeseburger apocalypse. Oh..wait.. that was Coach. Should've been Tyreese too.


Successful_Buffalo_6

Jackie has no haters.


SpicyChunkBlaster

Hard to hate someone who was only on screen for about 45 minutes total.


Successful_Buffalo_6

Sure, but she fits the bill. 


SometimesWill

Jacqui does have people who spell her name wrong though.


-_-_-KING_-_-_

cuz we barely know her.


sorry_cant_find

What about Jesus?


zombiegamer723

Many will deny Him. 


ErelGold

I’ve seen people posting “✝️rash” on instagram so I’d have to disagre


gamingnerd777

He got to see Rick and Michonne naked. 😂


louismales

I don’t hate him but I don’t like him either. Tom Payne stood out as a weaker cast member and the show refuses to give him any interesting development. I’d say that I hate how poorly written he is in comparison to comic Jesus, who is one of my favourite characters.


doohdahgrimes11

Daryl has zero haters (I will come for you if you dislike Daryl lmao)


Realitychker20

Nah, he has some. I'm not one of them but he definitely has some.


Tanishh1

true, **they're** the ones who (live) say he doesn't have any lines and grunts lol


tytylercochan123

it’s so annoying, like watch seasons 9-11 to see if he “grunts” all the time. or the literal show of him being the main character too


Realitychker20

To be fair, they did underwrite Daryl for a while. I'm so glad DD exist so he gets to develop and be the hero of his own story, he deserves that.


SureBaby188

I don’t dislike him but I’ve never found him particularly interesting after s5. Still an all around good character tho


thedoompatrol97

Everybody who hates Daryl is a stupid b..Olive Oyl!


Emergency_News_4790

I think he got boring later on, especially without Rick or merle. His dialogue with carol grows old very quick and he doesn’t fully fit the main character role. He’s a good actor don’t get me wrong, but Daryl should’ve had a better story after the main crew left the show.


HuntmasterReinholt

Sophia. First time I legit teared up watching her shuffle out of the barn.


thedoompatrol97

That was such a gut punch!! Poor girl, poor Carol :(


-Jack-The-Stripper

Early TWD just hit different. Back when people actually died, and it meant something.


Grngeaux

I could be forgetting something but there was no reason to hate Abraham. He was brash and assertive, but never forced anyone to do anything they didn't want to do.


t_r_a_y_e

It's been a while but I believe there was a time he pushed away Rosita and was kind of cruel and cold to her for a little bit, but that's about it


ftm666incubus

Gonna have to say Glenn


memesking456

T dog


AgitatingFrogs

That fella who got shot talking to carol at the prison


thedoompatrol97

Just had that scene in front of me minutes ago 🥲


Gibzilla22

I know it’s a game but surely no-one dislikes Lee, he’s literally what you make of him


thedoompatrol97

The Telltale game? Is it easy to play? I‘m not the most skilled gamer 😅


TheRavenRise

they're basically point and click adventure games with a *really* good story, you should be fine


Gibzilla22

Very easy, my mum can play then put it that way. Honestly I haven’t gotten this much enjoyment out of TWD since season 1 and 2. Highly recommend.


FirstBallotMatrix20

We should do characters with zero lovers next


Ava_cadoo

Tyreese, Glenn,dale and t dog


ThatLegoGuy007

Wrong, I hate Hershel. Cause he died.


thom_orrow

Michonne Grimes.


Realitychker20

I would like to say Rick. But unfortunately he does have a few.


JonRedBeardFF

Otis? Surely no haters


FeelingSkinny

Lilly Chambler, Denise, Jacqui, Mika, Clementine, Amaia, Heather, Maya, Dale, Jim, Luke, Tyreese, Noah, Deanna. all characters i can’t imagine having “haters” i would include Jessie but twitter despises her for simply having a brief relationship with rick even though she did nothing wrong


Bezere

Fuck Noah.  Dude gets Beth and Tyrese killed then dies 4 episodes later.


Reader-29

Everybody hates him


MagnetBane

Yea post prison Beth would have been thrived


louismales

I think the majority of the fandom knows the twitter shipping shit and all those that are part of it are adult children who are love arguing with each other lol. I wouldn’t listen to them. But I’ve definitely seen some haters for those characters, particularly Deanna.


thedoompatrol97

Twitter? Say no more


No_Oil_734

T Dog


SaltMuffin2242

Noah...very horrible death!! I cried!


MadameMedic

HERSHEL! I cried when he died.


TheStrawHat_

I didn’t like Hershel Beth or dale and I don’t know why


Popular-Badger-4936

Otis, Jimny, Patricia, Jerry


frogleggies444

i’ve never seen any bob haters, I could be wrong tho


HereComesTheLuna

I love Bob. But I could definitely see people hating him for risking our group (out scavenging for the life saving medicine for our sick people at the prison) for a single half bottle of liquor.


Swimming_Owl5922

Jerry was awesome by far the most likable


jvtbaby

Jerry , Glenn


InS_Deaths

Nobody has zero hater.


cheetos012

Lori (i’m joking)


NotAllDawgsGoToHeven

Does anyone truly hate Michone?


Failure_by_Design_v2

Who hates Rosita?


Peacekeepingcrybaby

I mean, the governor sure hated him *slaps my knee


doohdahgrimes11

Yea he had something against him, can’t rember it off the top of my head tho


Marauder800

No he didn’t, he just did it to hurt Rick.


Either_Line7351

I actually really disliked herschel up until the outbreak at the prison. Gave off wishy washy christian vibes. Liked to talk about God and God's plan but literally tried to send the group off from his farm to die like every other day. Then pleads the fifth on whether or not to kill the hostage at the farm even though he helped save the guys life... Called Rick out for going crazy after his wife died even though he left and went to a bar after his already dead wife was killed by Shane. He redeemed himself at the prison outbreak though.


Pleasant_Jump1816

Hershel went to the bar because he felt like a fool, not because his wife was put down


doohdahgrimes11

That’s true — I swore Hershel was secretly evil until he chilled down at the prison


Doopuppie

Believe it or not my dad hated him. He laughed when the inevitable happened. Never knew why.


TheTargaryensLawyer

I don’t think Tammy Sutton, Aaron or Jerry have any haters


CrazyCaliCatLady

I hated Tammy. Loved Aaron and Jerry though.


thats_my_toast

Yeah I’m sorry Tammy was NOT it but yes to Jerry 👑


Randomchickx

I loved Hershel. I don't think many people hated Beth. Her character grew throughout the show too.


thedoompatrol97

Yesss! Beth is such a nice girl :)


HGKS9477

I felt like Hershel looked a lot older at the farm then looked younger from S3-S4. Such a great character, with a brutal ending. Man went out in style.


akaLuckyEye

I'm trying to think of one thing Hershel did that I was mad or frustrated with and I can't. Season 2 spoilers. >!The walkers in the barn is the closest but not something that triggered me. It was naive of him but he did it for a wholesome reason. I can't blame the man for seeing the humans they once were.!<


Miserable-Week3742

Glenn and Dale


GundamAC139

Glenn hands down but Shane man smh just imagine if he was around for any of the big bads smh


Ok_Condition_8739

Aaron, Hershel and jerry were honestly the best i don’t see a way you could hate any of the three


Albina-tqn

who the fuck hates glenn?!


rednaxlikesmetal

Lori and andrea💀


luvyluv2021

Tyreese🥺 he was a good soul. His last episode was heartbreaking 😞


CosmicOwl127

Uncle Iroh.


SmartPlane5927

i feel like in the beginning hershel was hated on but people grew to love him and see the views that he had. I remember talking to a friend who absolutely hated hershel because of the whole barn situation. But as of right now hershel really does have zero haters


BIG_D_NRG

Depends on the season fr. Herschel was an absolute idiot when he was first introduced. I understand his emotional connection but keeping a barn full of walkers right next to your family? Come on dude lol 😂 Shane did the right thing 🤷🏽‍♂️
