jonjesper Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Honestly the people on Facebook and twitter make me feel like a comic snob. Some jerk off just posted that they'll lose their adult audience with a hooded figure with a sword. Face palm like a mofo. Yeah, I'm seeing that else where as well. People are saying it's going to ruin the show etc I've read the comic and watch the show. I'm sorry, but I agree that she has the potential for losing a large potion of the TV audience. I think that the wider (than comics) TV audience enjoys the human side of the story lines, and thinking about how things might actually happen (once you suspend your disbelief about the zombie apocalypse in the first place) -- regular people trying to survive and what that might look like. Rick is "believable." Shane was "believable." Tyreese with his hammer in the comics was "believable." Comic book Michonne isn't. For the TV show, whether she is good or bad depends on what they do with her. I don't think the TV audience wants to watch a sword-wielding "ninja" with her zombies. I don't. That being said, she looked cool. I think many people are jumping the gun on this... We saw her in the now iconic pose with both zombies behind her in chains. They did an origin story in Playboy to briefly explain this and it made sense in the reality of zombies walking the earth I highly doubt she will go all 'snake eyes' in the show. For those reading the series, she is a strong female character and knows how to fence which has served her well with a sword. Again, if hammers and knifes seem to work as well as shovels, why not believe someone can use a sword? Crossbows seems to be working very well for Daryl, so I think Michonne will be very well represented in the series. I applaud them for showing us Michonne with a nod to the comic series and can't wait to see The Governor and the prison also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Could" being the opeartive word. I am withholding judgment, just stating that I fully understand the public's mixed reaction to her appearance. If they decide to make her someone who finds that a sword works well for killing zombies without attracting attention (like the crossbow, shovels, etc.) then fine. But the comic book, Michonne? The "Tonight, appearing at the Thunderdome, the Governor is proud to present Ninja Michonne versus the Zombies" ? ... Fonzie is wearing the jacket and skis and heading for the shark...

If she moves like lightning and does a bunch of acrobatic moves I may agree. However, a katana, in the hands of someone with even a HS level fencing background is pretty damn believable as a light weight and effective decapitation weapon against a slow moving target. I think most folks with a small amount of training could handle several of the walkers from this universe without straining believability any more than Carl, who had not taken but a couple of shot in his life nailing a headshot from 15 yards out, or Herschel and his magic shotgun.

Claudio Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I really like the way they handled Andrea in the final few episodes. After hating her in the first season and a half, she is starting to resemble the character in the comic and that is a good thing. I always felt that she handled the zombie apocalypse like a true survivor and grew as a person. She made tough choices and never let them break her will. I hope that the Andrea on tv can be just as awesome as the one in the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
