Okay can anyone explain please, how would Beth get the role of Ezekiel? Since I don't read the comics. Thnx. :)
In the comics, Ezekiel is the leader of a community called the Kingdom. It is involved with the Hilltop and Alexandria during the All Out War arc. They have been a few eggs that could be interpreted as Beth taking on part of Ezekiel’s role.
1. Beth is possibly at the Kingdom. C@rol and Morgan were taken by that stranger to a new community, and it appears that it will be the Kingdom. The last time C@rol was injured she wound up at Grady, where Beth was.
2. In 6x16, Morgan found that missing horse and passed a paw print in the dirt (X). The camera focused on it for several seconds meaning it was important, and it would not make sense to focus on it if it were a hoof print. The horse was just in the scene. It also appears to have toes at the top, and it doesn’t have a canine shape. It looks like a large cat print. Only a big cat would Narratively, we are close to the introduction of Ezekiel and his tiger pet, Shiva.
3. When Negan was singing “Eenie Meenie Minie Moe,” he said, “Catch a tiger by the toe,” while looking at Daryl. Daryl and Beth’s arcs are intertwined, and it’s not much of stretch to connect it to her, especially because of the music connotation.
4. @bethgreenewarriorprincess discovered, through the clocks, eggs that connected Beth to Michonne when the character was first introduced, when she kept pet walkers (X). It was speculated for a while that Beth would adopt a wolf or wolves and would be protected by the animal(s). Shiva protected Ezekiel until her death.
5. Beth’s action figure was pictured with a large animal trap on the Rick figure’s packaging. A lovely anon of mine wrote to the company, and McFarlane confirmed that it was a bear trap, and that AMC (the licensor) was the one who wanted it included in the first place then last minute had it pulled (X).
It would explain the large space of plastic in the Beth figure’s box. @happycookiieblog will tell you, plastic isn’t wasted in packaging, so the space was meant to hold something. When the bear trap was first discovered, GE speculated that Beth would either use it for hunting or it would be connected to her having a pet (X). It makes no sense for a season 4 Beth to have a piece that was not only not in the show, but not connected to her storyline at all. It makes sense that it was connected to her return and AMC would pull it, fearing that people would start asking too many questions.
If Beth has a pet tiger like Ezekiel, she might save the animal from a bear trap, gaining the animal’s trust. She grew up on a farm and would be good with animals, and a tiger would explain the size of the animal trap.
