The Walking Dead
A TV show on AMC based off the comic books by Robert Kirkman. It used to be really good until Scott Gimple took over as show-runner from Frank Daranbout in S4, it became increasingly obvious that the only main characters who would never die were Rick, Carl, and Daryl (who serves no purpose anymore and doesn't even exist in the comics, but they decided to make him a deuteragonist to Rick on the show because he's on a bunch of t-shirts at Hot Topic that threaten to boycott the show if he dies), and every time they killed a main character off the show it was at the worst possible moment ever because they finally seemed to be getting the happiness they worked so hard for, they were on the brink of having great new character development, and/or they faked their death by hiding them under a fucking dumpster, only to kill them off a few episodes later for real, anyway. It's been sadistic manipulation ever since sometime in S3, frankly it started becoming annoying and old when Hershel got killed off midway through S4, and by the time they got to Glenn's death it just felt like too much of cheap, obnoxious, and cruel shit storytelling.
A fan of The Walking Dead: Did you see Glenn's death on The Walking Dead last night?
Me: Yeah, that was such bullshit storytelling! No wonder so many fans quit! Glenn was the last character that I actually liked enough to keep up with this stupid show. It should have been Daryl. I'm so done with TWD. It's so predictable. Literally everyone will die, except for Rick, Carl, and Daryl. It's the same old story over and over again. Every time things seem to be looking better, they get worse, and Negan's introduction and how the writers treated Glenn so disrespectfully, like a cheap plot device for death, just marked the end of a show that I used to know and love. I'm just so tired of it all. Glenn's death drained what little remaining emotional investment that I had left in this show, so I quit.
