Publisher’s note: The following contains spoilers for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3, episode 1Try to name a scenario in The Walking Dead This did not imply characters separate and find themselves again. You may be able to find an answer, but it will be boring. Now there is nothing wrong with this type of scenario. Heck, even the pilot revolved around Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) Try to find your family. Each of the new Traveling The spin-offs also started with someone who found another person, everyone said with various degrees of success. But The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon is on the precipice of the potential use of this scenario in the same way The Walking Dead: Dead City did it, and that would be a huge mistake.
Loading in front of his peers, Daryl Dixon has already broadcast his third season when Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride) Continue their post-apocalyptic European tour. During the first of season 3, the duo leaves France behind, stop in the United Kingdom and crash on the banks of Spain. However, the closing scenes raise concerns about whether Daryl and Carol will be separated, which the spin-off should certainly not do.
“ The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon ‘cannot repeat’ Death City Erry
In the Daryl Dixon First of season 3, Carol was injured in the sinking, then Daryl leaves her in the little hangar they find while he hunts for food. We see a brief scene from Carol waking up from his feverish stunning and hearing a sound that attracts his interest. When Daryl returns to the hangar, He finds it empty and does not find Carol in the immediate vicinty. Since the pair has also seen strange masked runners on the beach, indicating potential danger in the region, Daryl is rightly worried. But I hope they are gathered in the next episode and not separated for the majority of the season, lest they repeat themselves Dead cityThe error.
Dead city Season 1 definitely had the Arc of discovery with Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) Hershel’s search (Logan Kim), but the two central characters for whom we looked at the spin-off were together. But in season 2, the two were separated during most, leading to a significantly lower season, reflected by the decrease in the marks of the season. As such, We spent most of the season to move their disparate scenarios and aspire to bring them togetherJust so that we can have a dose of their unhealthy, but comical and nuanced relational dynamics.
Like Negan and Maggie, the relationship of Daryl and Carol is the reason why we are looking at this spin-off season. Daryl was sufficient to lead the first season of the spin-off, but its appeal multiplied by Décuplet when its best is also joined the ranks. So, if Daryl Dixon Decides to separate them after the first for an extended time, it is already at the expense of the show. We will be deprived of their endearing jokes and their eternal love for each otherEspecially since it is the only relationship that has happened in season 2. The Walking Dead Must learn from past franchise errors and bring Daryl and Carol together as soon as possible to keep the viewers invested.
Daryl and Carol work better together in the spin-off of “The Walking Dead”
In addition to losing their dynamics, Daryl Dixon I’m going to walk on Old Ground again if they continue with this scenario. Yes, they will remind the overused trophy of the franchise of “looking for the other”, but given the duration since the end of the flagship program, which in itself is not necessarily a bad thing. What makes this scenario irritating is that They have already covered it in season 2 (and they have executed it), so there is very little need or appeal to start again so early. Giving them individual adventures at this stage would also be particularly overwhelming in the light of their recent reunions. We were ready to anticipate their link, and it would be a disappointment if it was removed so quickly.
In season 2, Carol spent half trying to search for Daryl and bringing him home, creating adventures that were perfectly parallel to Daryl’s own individual story, because he was at home but slowly connected with characters from Paris. Their simultaneous arcs added depth and nuances, because we did not know how Daryl would react to Carol trying to bring him home when he now had so much to lose in Paris. The use of this trope was the most cohesive way to introduce Carol into the spin-off has meaning while adding a significant substance to their stories. This is one of the rare moments for which this trope worked The Walking DeadBut season 3 is certainly not the right time to resuscitate it again.
Now that they are gathered, separating them would be like a step back for the collective arc of the characters and the show. The show would recycle the old tales and tones, completely undermining the start of the own slate of the season. Why take the trouble to make Daryl and Carol the only characters to postpone From the previous season, only to tear them? If anything, it is the easiest way to keep them together, because we are already so strongly invested in their relationship, instead of creating new ones from zero. We can only hope that Daryl puts his hunting instinct wisely and immediately find Carol, lest the spin-off will fall into the same rabbit hole as Dead city And lose your heart.
