Wow. I don’t know how the men are treated, but I assume better than that. That is pretty morbid, which kind of interests me… But wow.

The Shane and Rick triangle with Lori played out per how the show did it, from what I understand. Daryl doesn't exist. And I honestly don't remember anyone else. I've done my best to lock the comic away in the "well, that was an experience" box, and am glad I never bought an issue or TPB. (My brother got them out of the library.)

I’ve read those things about the comics too and I really don’t feel like reading them because of those facts. I think the tv-show isn’t that harsh and brutal. (And Carol for example is more balanced and interesting in the TV-version)

In the show, Carol’s abuse and her feelings for her abuser are shown realistically and talked about intelligently. Maggie is nearly raped, but the narrative prioritizes HER feelings and not Glenn’s - he apologizes for only thinking of himself. 

That whole storyline was handled startlingly well. The show isn’t great, but it’s better than the comics. Andrea and Lori aren’t always handled consistently or well.

So I understand from your posts. (It's the images I try to savior, not the text posts.) If I could handle the zombies -- and I'm pretty damn sure I can't, I had trouble with Warm Bodies and that was mild, zombie-wise -- I probably would enjoy the show far more than the comic.

Though the comic left such a bad taste in my mouth, so maybe not. :P

ugh yes! and the writer was SUCH an asshole when he was criticized for it.

Robert Kirkman is on my "never again" list for a couple of reasons, and that's one of them. Mark Millar is another. Nothing he has done from Authority onwards has given me any other impression than "lol edgy", and Wanted and Kick-Ass -- the comic versions specifically, the movies are far less awful I understand, though I won't watch them anyway -- overtly disgust me. Don't let me get started about Millar. (And the guy who writes Fables is kind of a douchebag but I really like that comic most of the time so I try to avoid everything else about him.)

theonewiththecandy replied to your post: What the fuck is Gendry going to do in Kings Landing? I feel there just going to brush him under the rug. How can he get a decent storyline away from the BwB??

I’m so pissed off right now that plot change was so LAME they could’ve sent him to the free cities // possible running into Sam or Arya just SERIOUSLY WTF, D&D really ruined him in the show!

and it hurts me to see my beloved bastard getting butchered like that. i mean seriously, since he's already Gendry Storm, why not continue as such as send his ass to Lys? that is the least they could've done.

or they could've just left him in the Riverlands....but King's Landing? wow what books did you guys read?
