@@user-tm6xu3zu4i people constantly misunderstand Rick and call him crazy. He’s the opposite of crazy after 4x16. Sure he gets a little full of himself in season 6 but he had a very clear way of thinking during season 5. He was extremely focused and ready to lead.
@@Hardrive2677 Yeah true, he’s not crazy he has no traits of someone who’d be crazy. He’s just a leader who’s willing to protect his family with a never ending drive not giving up even when it gets really tough for him.

@@vaiteia4234 You can’t even say that. It’s unfair. If Season 7 rick had kept challenging negan on 7-e1 he would’ve gotten the entire cast killed or killed himself.

8:16 all the way up to this point you can really see how he's struggling to re-integrate himself back into a society, the sheer urge to control the rage; just goes to show how feral a man can become once he has desensitized the act of violence.

If Rick had kept and even built on this type of mentality, Alexandria would’ve been an absolute force to be reckoned with. Just goes to show you that letting your guard down, even when comfortable, is the quickest way to lose your edge.
@@willr1820 Your not wrong. They all settled when they made it to Alexandria. His mentality was becoming too brutal for his own people, let alone the ones that were in Alexandria before him and his group got there. In a world like that, you need killers. And that’s what he was at that point, a leader but more so a killer and he had to be in order to make it. I think had they never found the safety of that town, he would’ve eventually been worse than the saviors ever thought about being.
@@willr1820Morally speaking, you’d call him evil. But in a world such as the one Rick was in, there is no good or bad necessarily. Morals are part of our humanity for sure but morals have to be cast aside once you’re met with other people. It’s not so black and white as you say it is. Like the cannibals, they were horrible people but they were desperate survivors. I ain’t gonna defend them just like how I won’t defend Rick. It’s not good guys or bad guys, those are things we label in our head. These are people trying to survive, like how Rick and his group as well as Alexandria are not good guys or bad guys. To Alexandria, the Saviors were enemies. Nothing more, nothing less. Holding onto your humanity is something that’s difficult to do in a world filled with death and suffering. Which is why being kind of a monster is necessary in The Walking Dead. You either become a survivor to ensure your survival and others if there are survivors you travel with. But if you don’t get out of your pussy hole, you end up as food for the walkers or you’ll be at the mercy of other survivors. Morally, all of the shit above that talks about trying to survive and the lengths you’ll go to for survival is something that’s always gonna make you a murderer no matter what. When people say someone is evil for doing something, you have to analyze what it is they’re doing. You could call someone evil if they’re doing something for their own self interest that doesn’t benefit their survival.
what i love about characters like Rick is their strength, they face the worst, walk through hell, they carry the terrible weight of leadership and stand as a pillar of courage and conviction.
“put your guns on the floor and kneel” is such a good line to me the way he delivers it is so good like he’s a cop again but a fucking badass one at that!
Rick S5, Shane S2, Merle S3, Daryl S9, Glenn S3, Abraham with truck, Michonne with sword, Gabriel S11, Morgan S8, Aaron with robot arm, Elijah with mask, Maggie S11, Sasha with sniper rifle, Carol with recently deceased child. All character primes and when they are not to be f*cked with.
Rick was at his prime in Season 5. He descended back into an almost feral state, intent on protecting his pack and not afraid to exchange his humanity to do so. Even Negan admitted that he wouldn't have provoked that version of Rick.
Season 5 Rick Grimes was the definition of fuck around and find out. Andrew Lincoln deserved an Emmy for his portrayal of Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead. Hopefully we get to see more of Season 5 and 8 Rick in the new spinoff.
Bro had the mindset Shane had in S2 in S5 and is literally the best TV Character of all time. Nobody is colder than S5, 6, and 8 Rick. Hope we get S5 Rick in the We're the ones who live spin off with Michonne and I'm on S11 Ep 16 but been watching for 13 months. Rick just too badass 😭😭😭
The fact he actually used the exact machete he said he would use episodes later to kill him was great foreshadowing. cause you almost forget he said he would use that ,cause it was weeks from that episode until he actually does
bearded Rick was always my favourite version of him in terms of ruthlessness and bad-assery. this is heavily because of the beard. that shit looked so dope.
Still makes me chuckle every time that I re binge the show or if I watch the clip of it on here whether it’s a rick compilation or watching ppl react to the episodes for the first time especially when rick says it’s hard to trust anyone who smiles after getting punched in the face😂 I remember when that episode first aired. I was like Rick does have a point abt someone smiling after getting punched in the face😂
Man I LOVED season 5 out of all the series of TWD. Surviving on the road showed how dangerous outside was and how freaking strong the group was by overcoming the challenges. Of course, they did lose some people, but it was very bad ass moment for them.
Remembering that Rick did all this in just 1 year. Because for those who don't know yet, seasons 4-5-6-7-8, happen in the same year, in 2012, it has been 2 years since the zombie apocalypse happened. And season 9 begins 18 months after the end of season 8.
I think it's because they were all firing at walkers and they thought he was firing alongside them. As far as the yell, idk, people yell when they fire guns sometimes I guess, especially when scared.
If the clips were cut better you could see how they all were firing as he took him by surprise and then shot them, which explains why they didn't notice. I expected more dialog but just saw a lot of stares without context at times.
Season 5 was The Walking Dead at its peak. Even Negan said he wouldn't have messed with that Rick.
