ebtorres Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 i dont see Aaron as a major character. typical RK Troll Kirkman didn't say it was a "Major Character" or "Lead Character" just that a gay character from the comics would be introduced. He was debunking the "Daryl is gay" comment but sharing that a gay character from the comics would be introduced in a key role and that he was excited for that dynamic and relationship to be added to the show. But... We can all revisit this post in Feb when I'm right While I assume it must be Aaron since the story has pretty much been following the book's continuity, I have to correct you; Kirkman said a prominent gay character from the comics is debuting in the next half of the season. Prominent being the key word, defined as leading, important or well known. Aaron hardly qualifies as a prominent character, but like TBP already mentioned, it could be just a typical Kirkman troll.

comicalgems Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Aaron in the comics was the first gay Walking Dead character (aside from those prison guys and that's not really countable is it?) if I remember right, which from a writer's standpoint would make him a "prominent" character. I'll tell you who I want to see... DAVIDSON!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicalgems Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Oh and I really really hope The Walking Dead spin off show isn't going to be the characters that stayed behind at the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThoseBackPages Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) i GUESS one could say that Aaron was "important" because he let Rick & Co into Alexandria Edited December 1, 2014 by ThoseBackPages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThoseBackPages Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 but from a comic standpoint, #67 is NOT a key IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) i GUESS one could say that Aaron was "important" because he let Rick & Co into Alexandria Seemed clear Kirkman's was saying while Daryl isn't gay there will be another major charactor who is. That isn't Aaron. I forgot Aaron was even gay and I forgot his name he's so minor. I'd bet the farm it's Jesus.

Rip Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Think we get Negan in the next half season finale? One magazine said Negan is coming at the end of this season, but I'll bet its mid season of season 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One magazine said Negan is coming at the end of this season, but I'll bet its mid season of season 6. +1 I think Jesus will show up in the last scene of the season 5 finale. Probably in a similar fashion as he did in the comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awakeintheashes Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Also, I don't think it was Jesus that Kirkman was referring to. It wasn't revelaed that Jesus was gay until much later on. If Kirkman wants to keep the similar pacing, he wouldn't announce that a gay character was showing up and the first character we meet is Jesus. Aaron makes the most sense, IMO, but I'm sure we'll meet Jesus before the season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney414 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 i GUESS one could say that Aaron was "important" because he let Rick & Co into Alexandria YESS!!! MY Original point! Thank you!!! +1 It will be Aaron. For those of you saying he's not an important character, remember the TV show isn't exactly like the comic. So he could be more important in the show.
