Those and Mad Men were also made using external studios (typically Sony Television) so they got a much lower cut of the profits

I wonder if Jeremy’s character dies in Season 5 and then we see Greg replace him?

Also didn't help that Phase 4 didn't make any money for them and phase 5 is looking to be worse.
The only movie that made a real profit is Spider-Man and they only get 25% of the profit as the rest goes to Sony, and this will repeat for the next Spidey movie.

AMC was crazy to think a Walking Dead movie would make big money at the box office, let alone an entire trilogy. The fact that they’re now turning the movies into a miniseries seems like a downgrade if you ask me. This entire expanded universe is so baffling to me. It feels like AMC and Scott Gimple wasted so much time doing nothing with this universe. The main show is done, and the other spin-offs have had poor ratings and mixed reviews. Now all of a sudden they’re greenlighting spin-off after spin-off, yet the franchise is well past the height of its pop culture relevance. I feel like they’re 7 years too late at this point. Talk about striking while the iron is lukewarm.

Sure, but Last of Us probably has 3 seasons max unless they decide to do original content. Walking Dead will keep pumping out new shit until well after the wheels fall off.

It's like Buffy but everybody is a mediocre actor/actress

Reply to comment by Civil-Big-754 in Thoughts on the new series Animal Control? Sounds like half of us are really enjoying it and the other half of viewers are not. Can’t think of any recent shows with this polarizing of opinions of it by ChessQueenCity
Fuck no, dee was WAY better when she was the quasi normal view. ‘Whackadoo’ botox dee is juvenile, forced and unfunny. Season 14 on shes basically 0/10. Sigh.

I realize people on here won't like me saying this but Lincoln as Rick was much better than Pascal as Joel.
At least from what we've seen so far.
As a whole, LoU is much better than TWD but if we're just comparing the two performances then Lincoln is the clear winner to me.

yeah, idk what that guy is talking about The Walking Dead has been a shit show most of the time, but the actors are seriously top notch. Rick's accent is great. I've lived in the south most of my life. I don't people realize there's a ton of different types of southern accents. When I was a kid i even noticed this after meeting people from Charleston compared to people from a completely different city in that same state.
I've heard plenty of Ricks and Shane accents. I've even heard one of those crazy prim and proper early 1900's southern accents from this old guy in college. I half expected them to say "i do declare". It was so long ago that my memory wants to believe he did say it.

Ricks story feels like the prequel story to Joel in LOU.
Michonne is Tess.

They’re probably in shambles after Vince told them no more spin-offs.

And I’m sure they will find a way to have some big fuck off episode where all the stories come to one before they all somehow seperate into groups again.

Honestly, does anybody care about The Walking Dead anymore? The show fell off after the first season, and Fear the Walking Dead stopped being interesting after the third episode.

Yeah, I really liked Lincoln’s performance, in particular his interactions with John Bernthal’s character.
I had no idea he was british when i first saw The Walkimg Dead, but he definitely had the whole southern sheriff behavior down

Andrew Lincoln had to work with shit writers despite the fact if they did a 1:1 remake of the comic (not possible on AMC) they would’ve fared sooooo much better. Between Invincible and TWD comic Kirkman knows how to write.

With an obnoxious little sidekick character thrown in for no reason! Nearly 40 years later I'm still sour over that annoying little alien thing in the Punky Brewster cartoon that stole the spotlight from Brandon.

Not a bad synopsis, although "Have Gun Will Travel", "Branded" , "The Rifleman" and dozens of other westerns come to mind. It would be difficult to explain the phenomenon if it were not for IMDB.
If we didn't see 'em in real time, they were on syndication - still are ( see Grit TV in all its pharma ad and reverse mortgage ad glory ).
I'm not sure it's really prestige though. Too soapy really. I'll still watch it because it's mildly ridiculous and does a decent job of rewarding willing suspension of disbelief.

Completely disagree with this. Pedro is great, but he’s sort of been slipping in and out of his accent. It’s the weakest part of his performance.
Andrew Lincoln’s accent is literally perfect.

Yeah, my Charleston accent is very different from an accent of just someone in SC upstate
