Show Spoiler![Who’s your favorite character in the series? I’ll start.](https://i.redd.it/h6vjbqeyz09d1.jpeg)
Abe is cool as fck! Ngl I was a Daryl/Morgan fanboy but after rewatching it Abe is a beast and we lost a good one 😔
Abraham and Glenn were my two favorites…. We know how that goes. After that it was Carl…. We know how that goes. After than it was Rick, Negan, and Daryl.
Pls revoke them from your favorite list, I do not want to know how that goes
never been able to decide between sasha and bob, love them so much its funny they ended up getting together
Definitely solid characters. Bob might be one of my favorite B characters in the show.
Sasha deserved a better arc. I honestly thought her and Rick might get together before Michonne x Rick became a thing. She's a sharpshooter like comic Andrea, so I thought they might go in that direction, since Andrea and Rick get together in the comics. I wonder how fans would have reacted to that instead of what we got with Sasha in the end.
i thought she had a pretty good character arc actually. I’m glad she got the ending she wanted, sacrificing herself for the team
Oh yeah I like her arc too. I'm not sure I would change her ending, but I just think she had potential to be a main character and stick around like Michonne, Carol, Maggie, etc. :)
ah yeah could’ve, that would’ve been nice but the way i saw it was she was getting less screen time and i’d rather she get a somewhat happy ending than be forgotten about or die later a horrid death
Yeah, like in the last two Seasons they didn't want to kill many main characters, it felt like the sense of danger and risk of losing one of the protagonists at any moment from previous Seasons was lost, having Sasha still around would have made her a tertiary character since her arc ended pretty well.
yeahh
Sasha was dead to me after she shot those dogs, I really wanted to like her more.
I just have to say Rick. Sorry.
You should be sorry(Rick is my favorite too)
I’ll get some hate for this, but Negan. I swear by it, JDM did an amazing job for his role + it doesn’t help that his Voice lines in tekken are just an HD remaster of what he did in TWD.
Aside from him, I’d say probably say Eugene. Kind of hated him in the beginning, it he slowly, but surely grew on me without a doubt
no hate from me, nothing but fax here
"Well, pardon me young man, excuse the shit out of my goddamn Fench but did you just threaten me?"
Negan is such a bad guy but such a good character and it fucks me up how much i enjoy watching his character as a villain whilst hating every action he ever takes lol
I don't get why people hate Negan when he has the most amazing character development
Tbh, I genuinely believe it mostly had to do with the whole Glenn & Abe situation. I’ve loved Negan since his guest appearence in T7 (literally playing him as my main made me wanna rewatch from the beginning just to experience him as a character). I swear on my soul, Tekken enhanced my watching experience by 2-3x. Every quote & most of the attacks I can easy recognize while watching season 7 & 8 for the first time.
Trust, I can still love Negan without the in game references, but I guarantee you 100% it enhanced my overall experience.
It's totally understandable that people hate him for Glenn and Abe but, in terms of character development, he's one of the best tbh and that's why I like him
100% agree on you with that.
Negan slowly became my favorite character too, although i literally stopped watching the show for a whole month bcs of him lol. And the only reason i then decided to keep watching it is to see him die 🤣 happy he didn't tho, i really like him now!
I grew to like Negan, but I literally wanted them to kill Eugene off every time he was on screen 🤣
My wholesome easy to admit fave character is Glen. 😍
My guilty pleasure closely guarded secret fave character is Shane. 😬
shane’s a super well written chara hes pretty cool
I agree!
Maggie, Rosita, and Daryl
I'd say a tie between Carol and Michonne. Although Carol might just barely edge out a win based on the progression we get to see of her character over time. I love the flashbacks we get of Michonne before meeting the others, but there's not as much of it on screen.
I agree because I'd say the same aswell. I love how Carol grew throughout the whole show and how she portrayed herself to new people by acting soft. She's an amazing fighter. Michonne was just badass, her adaptation to the apocalypse was brilliant. She switched up so fast and was able to survive for such a long period of time, without a group.
Daryl dixon. He is forever my favorite. He can do no wrong.
Yeah, Daryl was just unbreakable. He always knew what he had to do and then he'd just do it. I also like that he was just a nobody before society collapsed, but he thrived in the new normal.
His home life was hell between his dad beating him and having to babysit his drugged up brother he's seen and been through a lot of ugly. He's always known what people are capable of doing when they are at their worst. That's why he thrived in a shit world because for him, the world has always been shit
Glenn, rick and shane are all great
Rick! But Carol & Daryl are so dear to me too!
My favorite is Merle. It’s hard not to like him since he is played by the one, the only Michael Rooker
King and Queen of the ZA: Rick and Michonne.
Glenn, absolutely. God, I loved him 😭. I’m on my first rewatch and am coming up on the end of season 6…
After that it’s probably Daryl and Michonne. They such badasses.
I feel like it's common to say Abe only In this subreddit and I'm genuinely asking if it's a like... meme or something?
Sorry if this comes off rude, I really don't mean it to.
I never understood why he's so liked tbh
Because loose ends make his ass itch
It’s because he’s generally a good guy. Hell, in the comics he was Rick’s best friend for a while until that title was taken by Dwight after the war (ironically).
Many characters are generally good people. That’s not why he’s so well-liked. I’m guessing it’s his funny dialogue and one-liners. That’s what makes him stand out at least
That and Michael Cudlitz’ grounded and sensitive performance for me. His story arcs, his flaws, shortcomings and his struggles, how real he felt. Not to mention the badassery and his hilarious lines.
Daryl obviously, goat from the start
Rick carol Darryl
Fav hero: Morgan or Michonne
Fav villain: The governor
rick judith (post season 9 time jump) carl
gonna have to be carl
Exactly what i came to say
That's a tough one because it changed a lot during the series based on the storyline at the time. Glen was for a long time because he did so much good, especially with and for Maggie. Daryl & Carole were my consistent favs until Negan became the good bad guy. The overall casting & character development was excellent throughout the series.
Aaron 🥰🥰
A-aron
Dog and Merle.
I'm so happy to see an Abraham appreciation post! I loved him!
Mine are definitely controversial for sure 😂. Apart from Daryl, who I'm married to in my head, my favourites are Eugene, Merle and Negan. I love an anti-hero. Plus all 3 are such interesting, fleshed out characters played by fantastic, charasmatic actors. Hilarious dialogue, entertaining plotlines. I'll defend these 3 til the day I die.
Daryl and Rick
I really love how Abraham was purposely defiant and challenging to Negan. He was trying to sacrifice himself to save the others
I can't get enough Carol. My favorite is when she first moved to Alexandria and pretended to be clueless baking cookies. I cracked up when she threatened the little boy who caught her stealing weapons from the pantry. That, and when she went Rambo to rescue everybody from Terminus.
Daryl, Carol, and Negan
good old daryl
Jerry.
Completely Good and only wanted to protect his people and take care of his family.
Also, he wanted cobbler.
That’s really tough, but fav female character is Carol and male is Daryl. I loved their character development and bad assery. Even better, they’re both still alive! Can’t wait to see Carol’s debut on Daryl’s spinoff season 2!
Merle, I love this racist man. He was funny, badass, and he has one of the coolest weapons in the show
Shane Walsh is my absolute favorite.
My other favorites are: Negan, Eugene, Andrea, Michonne, and The Princess. I also really liked Bob and Gavin.
Sarcastic Neegan was always entertaining
it’s so impossible to choose, but at the moment Jadis.
it usually jumps between Jadis, Abraham, Maggie, Madison and Andrea depending on what episode i just watched lmao
i have three.. aaron, glenn & jesus
Rick hands down. He carried himself so well. My favorite scene in the whole series was when he was with Glenn and Hershel at the bar when a couple guys strolled in. Close seconds - Daryl, Merle, Abraham, Michonne, and Shane.
Sergeant Big balls Abraham Ford. Dude is so freaking cool and funny and strong asf, no wonder Negan killed kim cause Abe would have beat him.
Gotta be Rick and Negan
Daryl, Maggie, Carol, Negan
Rosita, Rick, Abe, King Ezekiel, Glenn 💗
Was Carl, then Negan came in, then Carl died anyway. So Negan.
Yk I think the show went downhill because Negan did NOT suck his nuts
Negan and Daryl.
Negan was amazing as a villain, brutal, psycho, had some really great lines. Nice backstory, cool character arc too. JDM is just chef's kiss.
Daryl is pookie, c'mon.
Either Rick or Daryl, but I also would put Merle on a third spot
Umm this is awkward, my favourite kinda killed your favourite
Daryl Dixon and Abraham are my most favorite;but I have a few more. I like a book of my favorites throughout the TWDU.
And I can't forget my favorite villain through out the whole TWDU and has one of most favorite catch phrases in the whole TWDU " LITTLE PIG, LITTLE PIG LET ME IN!!!!! " -NEGAN
Uging bumplies is still one of my favorite phrases.
Daryl wins
Rick and Daryl by far. But Shane and Abe are very cool aswell amd i feel the show killed them off too soon.
Yup, yes he is. Shame because under diffrent circumstences he would make Negan's life miserable.
Okay used to be Glenn but negan replaced him dayrles chilling in second
Daryl. I do like other character but Daryl is one of the only characters who’s in it since the start and is still alive. + he’s just a good character, maybe a little bit overrated but he’s good
Villain wise? Simon. Idc what anyone says that man was a great villain. Think of him like a IRL Trevor Phillips (Both characters are portrayed by Steven Ogg) (he’s who me + my family recognised him as and I hate the fact I did because his actor hates being recognised as Trevor)
Michael Mercer
Gabriel. He's so damn cool.
Negan based he made normies stoped watching ha ha
Abe my fav too. More charisma than Rick.
I don’t normally pick favorites so I’m only participating cause this is a thread, but if I had a gun to my head I’d go with Daryl or Beth, just really vibed with both of them. But the show has so many good characters that I can’t really pick.
Big Alden fanboy over here
Eziekel, because Cyborg.
Rick - a hero, a legend, a leader, but apart from that, a complex human being with his emotions and struggles.
Dixon Brothers:
- Daryl - a truly caring man, loyal friend, and brother. His development arc was the best.
- Merle - had a really beautiful redemption arc in the series.
Father Gabriel - loved him! His journey from a fearful, guilt-ridden priest to a brave and resourceful survivor was really compelling.
P. S.
Carol: I loved Carol's development in the first few seasons; I thought she was turning into a strong woman. However, later in the seasons, she started making decisions that put everyone at risk.
Man it's so hard to choose!! I love Abraham, Glenn and Morgan all so much
Tyreese. Sasha's brother.
Despite the zombie apocalypse shit, he hasn't lost his humanity and principles he lived by. He find the man about to hurt Rick's baby hard to kill. He didn't participate in the church slaying Terminus people and was just in pure shock after what he saw was the end result. He didn't even went to war with the Prison people when he was with the Governor. He loved that woman that Carol killed and did his best to help Noah that eventually killed him.
All I can say is, it's hard to be a "Tyreese" in a world where you needed to be "Michone/Rick/Carol".
Negan was my favorite after he showed up. I’m a little biased as I love most Jeffery Dean Morgan roles that he plays. That episode where he first shows up and kills 2 people did surprise me and left my jaw gaping bc of it but it was also so badass and really showed who had the new big dick on campus, for awhile at least. Negan would have overall won if he’d have just killed Rick right then and there. Well maybe Carl’s destiny would have changed if that happened.
Negan is totally bad ass I even bought the same leather jacket (sad I know)
Number #1 Axel fan here!!!
Maggie
Carl
3: Glenn
Honorable Mentions Go To Negen, Tyrese and Jesus
Apart from the obvious Rick.
I like Shane to believe it or not for a long while, though his murder of Otis and prior assault of Lori made him an undesirable person, I wondered how he could possible redeem himself…
Eugene grew on me but I always liked his mannerism, the fact he lied to survive earned him that harsh knock out, sometime I was mad at Eugene but once he caused the Saviors downfall he was back to being “my boy” again.

When I was watching it as it was coming out, I already knew who died before I've seen the episode and I remember being furious about Glenn and not really caring about Abraham. Now I'm rewatching the series and I found myself falling in love with his character, his relationships and his whole character arc. This time, his death was more heartbreaking than Glenn's for me. And then watching Sasha and Rosita dealing with the grief and becoming closer. And then Sasha dying in one of the most emotional episodes. I see the hype now. And I'm on board.
Rick. Always Rick. Only Rick.
pretty fond of maggie. carol, ezekiel, jerry & daryl are some other faves.
Ugh... this is either going to come off as cliche or stupid, but oh well, it's simply the truth.
Negan.
JDM nails it. The character is entertaining as hell. His story arc is basically the only redeeming quality of the end seasons, in my personal and horribly flawed opinion.
But Abraham is definitely top 5. Maybe even top 3.
Would've been great if we had a chance to hear some ongoing banter between Abraham and Negan.
I also think Dwight is a really good character. Not a good person... i guess unless you're talking FTWD.
Negan
I love Abraham too!
I love all the guys like Rick Daryl Abe Glenn and that stuff but am I the only person who really liked Dale?😢
Rick
First seasons' Glenn
Beth
Daryl
Michonne
Abe is in a 3 way tie for me with Rick and Merle
Legit stopped watching the show when they killed off my boy Abraham
Rapey Davey. His stay on the show was short and sweet but he provided insight into the Saviors and Negan's morals. He was a character with few traits but wasn't flanderized or derailed, and lived right before the downfall of the series. Davey is a truly iconic and memorable character which I think doesn't get enough love. Here's more on why.
His time on the show was enough to count him as a memorable character, and he wasn't as much of a joke as other Saviors, or Saviors there just to put it in perspective how Negan acted and how their community worked. Davey was also very well played and had good line delivery. He started out solid, and over the course of his appearances, he slowly became more and more of a "bad guy," this isn't the best development but is development nonetheless. Upon his untimely death, which can very easily be recounted as Dave simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time, further emphasizing how the show's world works and it is not afraid to kill any character at any time, it also provided a slight bit of comedy coming from Negan. This scene was one of the best of the episode, as Dave was a very likeable character but seeing his death could have been a bit saddening, but also satisfying as he was an antagonist, and Negan provided said mild humor. Not only this, but the events leading to his death gave a good interaction between Negan and Sasha, and provided very partial development in Sasha's opinion on the Saviors, which most likely caused her to take more liking to their community due to Davey's contagious wit and charm.
I never noticed Abe throwing the ✌️ sign until I saw a YouTube short of it recently and that makes his death even more sad for me 😭 I loved his relationship with Sasha and wish they had more time.
Daryl he’s what got me into the show in the first place
I love Negan (I'm hetero male)
Daryl, Carol, Maggie, Glen, Judith... There's so many good characters to pick from. But I guess those would make my top 5.
Pope what a good man under difficult circumstances!
Abraham and Hershel. They would’ve been a good match together. Both thinking of how to protect the group in different ways. I feel like Hershel would be amused by Abraham’s mannerisms.
My favorites were always Rick & Glenn in the beginning.
Gotta be Rick
Probably a strange choice, but The Governor
“Mother Dick!”

I am currently watching the last episode that he's in and man, I was so upset. I really loved Abraham, he had to grow on me but I got so attached.
