Why did the Walking Dead kill Candler Riggs’ Carl

“The Walking Dead” was a very dark offer, which was constantly killed by the characters Brutal and gruesome ways. It was a symptom full of monologues on how humanity suffers from suffering. But there was a continuous source of hope throughout the series that took many fans from it: a reliable young man (Chandler Reges), who represented a new generation of survivors who grow up and take responsibility.

While the generation of Rick grew up in a comfort only to be suddenly thrown into hell, the generation of Karl was growing up in hell and would live to see society to rebuild itself. While most other young characters in the exhibition were crazy and/or died tragically, Karl was able to keep his intelligence for eight full seasons. Despite bad things, even when the group stumbled through human meat and dictators, Karl’s development into a difficult young man made a lot of promise to the future of the world.

Then he was killed by “The Walking Dead” in the eighth season. At the end of the middle of the season, “how it should be”, Karl Lreck revealed a bite of walking on his stem in a previous scene, apparently. Or, as Chandler Riggs does Describe it on twitter“When you spend 3 years at the end of the world but you die BC, you stumbled and fell.”

Karl’s death, which was inevitable after the sting was revealed in the conclusion of the 8A Season, It was not completed until the first show of the 8 B season, “honor”, “honor” Karl calls himself in his head to avoid turning into walking. The episode was not well received by fans. They thought that the show was descending into full misery, and they wondered about the point that was in all the mood of Karl’s mood if it did not lead to a satisfactory place. Comic Karl (who survived everything) has the best arc in The story of whisperThis is what the show has not yet done. Why does he kill him before he can really get his time to shine?

“that it everyone Regarding the biggest story of this season, “Showrunner Scott Gimple Explanation at that time. “It will be very clear, the relationship between this terrible incident – this very intense story – to the biggest story. I don’t even need to answer because I know and you are watching it in the next half of the season you will get. It has everything related to what is happening during the rest of the season 8.”

After completing the “Walking Dead” season 8, it is easy to see what Gimple: Carl can share some words separately with Rick before his death, and stimulates these words Rick to spare the evil Negan life. You can say it is likely that there are better ways to reach this point, but I assume that Karl’s death at least is accomplished by the task. Rick’s decisions, at the end of the eighth season, lead to a tense situation after the war in the first half of the ninth season, and pave the way for the road to Maggie/Negan Dynamic, who in turn led to its separation.

Creator of comedy, Robert Kirkman, also Defend Karl’s killing, even if that means that the main comic events must be changed:

“There are big and huge stories that you may think will be widely changed due to Karl’s absence. But we knew that these stories have been coming for years. There are plans to make everything working. Carl’s loss does not necessarily mean that these differences are that there is something that they differ in.

Certainly, Karl’s stories in the future were smoothly absorbed by the character of a new Henry child, and after the middle of the season 9 leap, by the younger sister of Karl Judith (Kylie Fleming). For one, you preferred Karl – exactly as you were better if Beth was unnecessarily dead in this hospital But the final seasons of the show managed at least to achieve the best in his absence.

The major rumors about Karl’s death is that the matter reached a conflict behind the scenes between Scott Guimbel and Chandler Regez. Or more accurately, between my father Gimple, Chandler, William Reges. “Watching Jamel launches my son two weeks before his eighteenth birthday after he told him that they wanted him over the next three years, he was disappointing,” Reges books at that time. “I never tried in Gimple or AMC but Chandler did so. I know how hurt it hurts. But we know completely how much we have been to be part of all of this and appreciate all the love of fans throughout these years!”

The theory of “Walking Dead” Fandom was that Gimple found William Reges difficult to deal with, which affected his decision. The other theory was that Chandler was about to reach the age of eighteen, which was pushed to pay more as an adult representative, which gave the executive executives of AMC a financial incentive to kill him. Chandler Rig also guaranteed that this entire controversy was his mistake: When Reddor complained about his behavior on the exhibition’s sub -show, Riggs He answered“I agree Lol. I think I was fit for the first few years, but I definitely became lazy when I should have used the writers who give me more materials.” He later added, “TLDR: Yes, I absorbed when it was important, but I am a good actor now I promise you to return someone who uses me.”

But even after years, the contestants confirmed that they simply believed that Karl’s death was the best choice for the comprehensive story, not a reflection on acting skills in Reges or anything that includes his father. As gimple Explanation at that time:

“This was a turning point, that’s all. We did not receive a request (from any actor) or anything like that. This has to do with the story. It is incredibly difficult to lose someone I worked with as long as we worked with him. It was really difficult. We hope to tell a story you deserve.”
