Hershel really can’t catch a break

[pagingdr-iverson]

Guys do we talk enough about how wonderful the casting for The Walking Dead is? Lord. Whoever was behind those decisions better have gotten a VERY nice check lol. Carl (Chandler whichever you wanna say along with the others I’ll mention) dead ass looks like he could ACTUALLY belong to Rick and Lori. Every version of Hershel legit could belong to Maggie and Glenn. RJ ESPECIALLY to me at least looks so much like Rick it genuinely was pleasantly crazy funny to me when I first saw him. Kid looks like they’re really his parents, it’s nuts. Judith was giving Lori tease too the older she got. Even the kid they got for Negan’s son was spot on can’t remember his name however my bad. I just know there was a kid who had that Negan smirk DOWN. Jerry’s kiddos were good, Rosita’s daughter too. All of the kiddos really were adorable, the adults were great fits as well. Just my lil random thoughts for today is all. Man I LOVE that freaking show frfr lmao.

Ezekiel’s tiger baby totally looked just like him too. Ok. Sorry I’ll go, I HAD to! 🤣☠️😂

If you see this.. who is YOUR favorite cast member if you had to choose? Did you not like some choices if you were a comic reader first or nah..? My faves are definitely Andy and Danai. They totally have the acting chops and I just love them anyway. Both have blown me away with their performances lots of times especially that Andy. Maybe I’m biased but still they always did a great job. 🔥

I’ve been rewatching S9–S11 of The Walking Dead this past week, whilst paying attention to the second‑generation post–Zombie Apocalypse kiddos and lamenting how underused (with the exception of Judith) they were in the larger story of survival and New World building—especially little Hershel and RJ. So much focus, screen time, and dialogue were funneled into Judith. Look. I don’t dislike Judith; however, I do take issue with how she was written in these episodes. Honestly, it veered into “magical unicorn Mary Sue” territory, reminiscent of Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Any Trekkies in the house?

Unlike her comic‑book counterpart, Judith survives in the show, and her survival at the very beginning of the apocalypse does make for compelling storytelling. I appreciate the empathy baby Judith evokes in us as the viewer. But Hershel’s and RJ’s survival stories are equally compelling and heartfelt, given what both Maggie and Michonne were trying to survive at the time of their respective pregnancies.

With Carl gone in the TV version, Judith becomes the “Grimes” successor to carry forward the vision Carl lays out in his farewell letters. And while I have zero doubt that any child of Michonne’s would be a highly capable survivor, the writers were so heavy‑handed in the “Badass Grimes Kid” department. The “girl wonder” persona was tough for me to swallow A LOT of the time, so I appreciated the rare moments when the other kids would point out how “brave” or “unafraid” Judith seemed and she would noticeably withdraw into herself. Those tiny cracks in her armor kept me from crossing the line of mild annoyance to outright dislike.

I would’ve loved more scenes of the other kids being little badasses themselves. Most of what we see little Hershel do is run and hide—aside from that one Kill Bill–esque moment when he confronts Negan in the apartment complex. And I wish Gracie hadn’t been portrayed as so much weaker and naïve in comparison. Her parents may not have been Rick or Michonne, but come on—Aaron would’ve absolutely taught her to defend herself better than what we saw!

And RJ. Lawd. I get that he was younger than the others, but the writers could’ve given him so much more to say and do. What a missed opportunity for character development. This is Michonne and Rick’s kid! Instead, we get vague throwaway lines about him skipping grades and not eating his vegetables. Really?! I’m not saying he needed to be a mini‑Rick or even mini‑Carl the way Judith was portrayed, but he certainly deserved more interactive moments.

So much emphasis was placed on Judith as “Rick’s daughter,” but I have a hard time seeing her that way given how little time she actually had with him. At this point, I see her as Michonne’s daughter. Same with RJ. Even though he carries Rick’s name, both kids missed out on so much time with him. It’s heartbreaking. Any fanfiction recommendations?

Anyway, my brain is starting to meander again. Let me wrap this up by saying: I don’t dislike Judith. Cailey Fleming was fantastic. The writers just went over the top with her characterization—too much shine, not enough balance. Nevertheless, I still like you, Jude. Your Funko Pop is right there on my shelf next to Michonne, Rick, and Carl on my hobby shelf.

What do y’all think? Am I being too harsh? Ah, well. Until the next rant.

“Imagine you're so small and cold and scared but there's smaller ones that are smaller and colder and more scared.”

missing the TWD kids oh how I love them like my own😔 before anyone gets on my ass about it yes I will put Lizzie and Mika here because without them Judith wouldn’t have made it out of the prison.

Yap below the line

I can’t stand how tiring it is to see 99% of the children characters getting hate or being called weak, ungreatful—downplayed— in this fandom Overall :( yes it’s not real in the first play I don’t wanna hear that, but from the character’s perspective it is real and the reality is they were all just children. Even while being sheltered it takes a STRONG mind to stay afloat in the new world.

I can argue the same for the mothers in the walking dead but it is obviously going to be hard growing up in an environment that only consists of grief, and death, and starvation, kidnappings and assaults if you stray too far from your group—it’s scary.

What I can do is appreciate small scenes/ child to child relationships because that’s sooo important even though we never got to explore it as a big storyline plot or hook; I miss Sophia that sweet girl=[

Beth taking on being den mother essentially for a while so that the older people can focus on getting things steady, she cared so so so much for Jude I’m devastated

Idk I just wanted to appreciate them rn I miss my kids😔 (fictional apocalypse children)
