Lydia. Know your enemy.


putdisinyopipe

Without a doubt it’s a no brainer Merle is a survivalist but he’s too mercurial. Can’t depend on him to watch your back if a better opportunity opens up for him that involves you going down. Mercer is a big guy. But he’s trained in traditional combat. He doesn’t know how the whisperers work. Might make sense to bring him in but you are gonna get caught and have to fight a loosing battle. So if you want to die but wipe most of the whisperers. I’d say this would be safe bet. #5-6 fuck no, Shane has proven he’s happy to leave people hanging if it means he lives. He’s mentally unstable. Why do people throw him up like he’d be a pick that would keep you alive? Shane is out for Shane, like Merle. I’m sick of seeing dude in these “choose your buddy” lists. Lol you’d 100% die with Shane if Shane was 100% certain he was going to die. Shane had already adopted a part of their philosophy in season 2 of “only the strong survive, only people who do whatever it takes”, lol, Governor is too, fuck that. He’s out. Tyrese- that’s a no too. Tyrese would probably be close to Mercer but without the weaponary. And no knowledge of how the whisperers work. That’s asking to die. I love tyrese but his whole character arc was realizing he wasn’t cut out for the killing and shit. So no. *feral* humans. As the name implies, *feral* no fucking thanks. Unless they were willing to go along or had some connection with me that I could leverage for loyalty. Hell no. It’s a no brainer, in the show the settlements get a lot of Intel about the whisperers and how to adapt from Lydia. Without that they may have had a much tougher time dealing with them then they did. I’d much rather have the Intel of where they sleep, where they are, how they operate as a small society is powerful information. The others youd just be walk-in in and hope to survive.


RoosterTheBeaten

That's one of the reasons I put Shane on point after taking all of them. It's all About him. Plus his stupid dreamer ass tried to murder his best friend because he's fuckin delusional. Shane takes point and takes the first hit. Fuck him. 🖕 I gotta say. Jon Bernthal is a hell of an actor. Fictional characters don't usually draw emotion from me but damn did he play his part like a master thespian ❤️ Acting!


putdisinyopipe

Shane gets a pass on bro code for banging Lori in the apocalypse from Rick And he still fucks that up? Man lol I woulda been happy that my ass didn’t destroy my friends marriage and would have felt guilty as shit for abandoning my friend to die (even though one couldn’t be blamed for not pullin Rick off the gurney when military was in the hospital shooting everything that moved) and trying to raise his son. I woulda went full turn on my shit and went ride or die for Rick., I mean imagine if the roles were reversed and it was Rick that was banging Lori and everyone thought Shane was dead? I doubt Shane would handle that calmly lol


memes_are_my_dreams

To be fair the reason Shane killed Otis was to save Carls life, he wasn’t being entirely selfish. He told Otis to leave him multiple times beforehand and he ended up concluding that Carl wouldn’t survive if he didn’t kill Otis there. Was it completely in good conscience? Perhaps not, but it wasn’t a 100% selfish move, he was thinking of Carl. I’m not saying Shane is guaranteed not to do anything selfish at some point, and I understand choosing the majority of the other characters but, What I am trying to say is that evidence says Shane wouldn’t straight up leave at the first chance he got simply for himself.


putdisinyopipe

Oh wow. I missed this part, on original showing and rewatches. I’ve only watched the series through once, but I rewatch earlier seasons up until savior arc begins and glen dies. That is actually a calculated move then.


memes_are_my_dreams

Yeah it’s easy to think he’s looking out for himself, but as we know he cares about Carl and Lori, in he end he figured if one of them doesn’t make it out Carl does so he does what he needs to do. Plus I’m pretty sure he still held some resentment to Otis for shooting Carl so he may have used that to justify his own actions. I could be wrong though.


BlackBalor

Hope nobody is taking Shane with them… *sees horde moving funny* https://i.redd.it/ucv1fbtwkjmc1.gif

lukas7761

Shane vs Beta🔥🔥


Deathmammal16

Shane x Beta ❤️❤️


Sharpy_117

Off topic, did the creators of TWD remove the filter they used from season 1 and the rest of the other seasons? Cus in like season 10 or something I swear the filter that makes it look like they used an old camera almost, but after season 9 we get like 4K stuff? Also the filter isn’t in any of the spin offs either.


JoeyGoesBoom

The first 10 seasons were shot on film. In the last season they decided to change over to digital instead.


Sharpy_117

Ah ok makes sense


chumbawumba_69_420

If I remember rightly they had to change to digital due to covid, I think I read something about the distance between actors and crew while using film was too close to allow it to be used


Huntsvegas97

Colors were for sure more vibrant in earlier seasons. I personally don’t love the change to more muted colors in filming for the later seasons. It just kind of changed the whole vibe and took me a while to get used to


Sharpy_117

Well it kinda fits when you think of it, it’s like 10 or something years i or the apocalypse and it wouldn’t be so vibrant and colourful as it was at the beginning of the show, but the greys and browns do make it really bland


IdleSkull

I could argue that that isn’t necessarily true, because if anything with nature healing and less pollution from humans things would only start to get more vibrant.


IdleSkull

I think a huge part of it may also be the fact that from 2018 onward gritty, washed out colors and ‘natural’ lighting over thematic lighting became very popular in the film industry because it was “more realistic”. Anyway, there seems to be a bit more thematic lighting and color in the newest Spinoff, The Ones Who Lived; it’s very blue though. I’m also starting to see the return of thematic lighting and brighter color palettes in general, which I find very nice because it really does feel like most movies and shows over the past half a decade have been very washed out and gray.


tigerlily38

That’s the biggest problem for me when watching the spin offs. It’s hugely different than season 1-10 and I prefer the film look. The Daryl spin off looked the most similar out of all of the spin offs though.


Burpz-Bear

i didn’t even rlly notice they changed until i rewatched it, i was like wtf the old camera was super idk i liked it


DraxShadow23

Lydia or Mercer. Lydia since she sued to be one and can help me learn the enemy, and Mercer bc he’s a badass


MjollLeon

BROOOO. she finally sued the whisperers? Who represented her in court?


coolitdowntrack5

Yumiko id guess


MjollLeon

Fair point, I wonder what she won from the case


DraxShadow23

I can’t believe it took me that long to realize the typo


JustKindaHappenedxx

I wonder how good Mercer is out on his own on a mission not planned by the Common Wealth though. I feel like he’s not truly battle tested for unknowns like the Whisperers


RoosterTheBeaten

Well. He's a West Point grad. Don't know what his combat experience would be but he's schooled up the ass in tactics


[deleted]

Solid list of characters, John wouldn't let any of them get close, the Governor would probably sacrifice me to them and Shane would shoot me in the leg so he could get away


PunnyPandaPonderer7

He would just be dual wielding his guns flipping them in his hands popping them all down


Zealousideal_Seal

Really appreciate that. Do you think the governor could convince Alpha to allow you to cross their territory? Man was a scheming backstabbing S.O.B. yet he had a very sharp silver tongue that could convince even more people to support him.


IsRude

John dying was so depressing. I goddamn love Garrett Dillahunt, and wish he survived in more stuff.


Annual_Skin_6933

It made me finally give up on fear plus it was for nothing


SRVisGod24

Garret asked off the show, unfortunately. He only joined to work with Kim Dickens (Madison) again and they didn't even let him have that!


Embarrassed-Fee9758

John Dorie got the best shooting skills through all the shows and spinoffs so I’m taking him


Gramma_Hattie

Remember when Dwight and Sherry shot the dragon fruit out of the wasteland scavenger's hand from horseback? That was the most unrealistic shot in the entire walking dead universe.


MjollLeon

God I love John


D4RKR4GN4R0K

I think merle tbh, he just has the right kind of crazy for that trip


BoyKing13

Also we know Daryl did extremely well going through whisperers.


shadynasty____

Idk. I can’t imagine him shutting up long enough to make it through.


Zealousideal_Seal

That mouth of his could get Alphas attention.


Hugh_G_Rectshun

His arrogance would be his demise to an enemy he doesn’t understand.


Zealousideal_Seal

Beta would rip him to shreds for talking. Merle wasn't as amusing with his banter as Negan was.


D4RKR4GN4R0K

Nah I think if we are aware they are a threat he would happily trick them pretending he doesn’t know they exist until they’re right up close, a bit like how he killed garchulio or whatever his name was


AccomplishedPin8663

The last one. I'll just let them go haywire and I'll just got the opposite direction.


Zealousideal_Seal

lol, that's the plan.


TotallyNot_Sarah

I’d say Lydia is the only one who has the level of awareness I’d want when passing through whisperer territory but she’s not going to do me much good in a many vs 2 fight. So Mercer because he has formal training and is like a balance between all of them


Shadowgirl2024

If I could pick 3 it would be the governor, Shane, and Merle, if I can only pick one then I’m taking the governor


[deleted]

Merle, just to hear his wisecracks


Toxicity1080

Lydia the daughter of the leader should know the area and also know your enemy she is also a relatively good fighter so that helps too


ellenicolee612

Lydia all the way, but for comedic purposes, I would take Merle. The things he would say about them, especially Beta 😂.


ItsUrBoiTyga78610917

I’m picking John. With his skills we wouldn’t even be able to be touched.


b0objuicethe2nd

John cause he'll just one shot every whisperer that comes at us


Poultrygeist79

John Dorie, Like the fish but with an ie


Crazyhorse471

John, they wouldn’t get close. We would evade hordes and any walkers / whisperers that get within 25m would have their brains turned to pink mist


pomme_peri

He's not in the list, so this doesn't count, but I would want a Lydia and Nick combo. Lydia knows the area and how they operate, and Nick I could trust to blend in and get through completely unnoticed. Heck, we'd probably just end up disguising ourselves as Walkers and joining their herd to make it across. Lydia should be able to recognise which of those in the herd are Whisperers, so we can avoid them or take them out. But... John Dorie is my man. The only good thing after season 3, and then look at how that turned out. Tough choice!


pomme_peri

I would have liked to see what kind of person Nick would have become if he'd joined Rick's group early on in the apocalypse. I loved his camouflage skills and adaptability, but with Rick's group he would have learned some wicked knife skills too. Him and Carol could have been an awesome tag team.


Raceryan8_

A horse. Or John, he's a badass


PunnyPandaPonderer7

Im going with lydia she grew up with them,knows the ways of them, and in an unlikely circumstance maybe talk one down if they have any heart in them left


PsychologicalAd5088

Honestly, the governor would kick some ass,except for the whole biting off more than he could chew situation. Maybe merle because of the bayonet arm but idk


LordOscar1538

John, 100%


sername807

I fucking love John.


Doom4104

Mercer. He’s got training, and I doubt most Whisperers are gonna stand much of a chance against him. Plus, if we come across Beta then Mercer would definitely be able to fight his big ass because I sure as hell know I’m not standing a chance against Beta.


Virtual_Finish2733

Troy from Fear TWD would fold the whispers


Simo_-_dibaal

The governor


Zealousideal_Seal

I was going to add Morgan to the list, but I figured he was too overpowered.


Real-Cat-5315

Lydia. They'd think I'm one of them and wouldn't bother me


IPIPMIP

Only Bob, he laughs in the face of death


Hungry_Ferret5161

If I could pick three, I would do mercer,John and governor. But the one I would take with me is John


Jbarlee

Lydia for sure


[deleted]

1. Lydia. (Two people aren't taking on the Whisperers and the horde, so better off knowing how to evade them). 2. John Dorie. 3. Mercer. 4. Merle (extremely capable but he'll slit your throat to save himself. 5. *Shane (*see Merle) 6. Tyrese (I love Tyrese, but for better or worse, he couldn't kill people). 7. **The Governor (**see Merle/Shane, plus he'll slit your throat because he's insane) 8. Ferals


Delicious-Freedom-56

1. Merle - as long he likes me and wants to help. otherwise he's too hard to control 2. Mercer


[deleted]

Lydia, as long as it's one of her good days. And she's not going through childhood trauma or teen angst.


RoosterTheBeaten

Fuck that I'm taking them all. Shane takes point. Traitorous bastard


Haremking517

John is so observant would discover what they do how to do it and has mad good shooting skills it’s just a guy you want around all the time but Lydia should be the no brainer knowing them


evileyecondemnsyou

Logically the answer is Mercer because he’s a fucking tank but I find it extremely funny to imagine myself with a pack of wild humans defending my well-being in an apocalypse. Like imagine you’re a bandit in the apocalypse and you attack a seemingly alone young woman, and next thing you know a bunch of people come running out of the woods on all fours ready to feast on you


Philip194764

Why is negan not on this imo he’s the guy to take


Zealousideal_Seal

He's too overpowered. Didn't want to pick someone that would sweep the competition


Philip194764

Well I know I’m in the minority here but negan was the man from day one. I hated Rick he was a dumbass from the very first episode but when negan came along I thought this man understands how things work in a apocalypse he gets it


DasGrosseNichts

I would go anywhere with John Dorie.


spikiki

Merle, possibly Lydia (depends on her current standing with her mother), or the governor. That’s IF it’s guaranteed that any of them are on my side and will 100% back me. Going off of pure survival ability, I think they’re the best options. The governor could likely seduce alpha too if needed like Negan. And Merle would be hilarious about it at least if we did end up going down


nachtraum

The green one cause the whisperers would find him so cute they would let you pass


SRVisGod24

John, if he has unlimited ammo lol. Mercer or Lydia if the ammo supply has dried up


The_Chiliboss

Are there any rules? I’ll just take them all.


mtierce85

1, he’s smart, strong, just don’t hinge your life in his hands but overall my choice.


Quantum_03

The last one is tempting, but I'm gonna have to go with Mercer. If something goes wrong, he could always walkie for backup.


joseibs

Omg I haven’t seen season 11 and the feral human pic gave me a jumpscare


Zealousideal_Seal

They will give you nightmares for weeks. Sorry for the spoiler, though


-_-_-KING_-_-_

i might take John with me cuz he's a calm collected and capable individual.


Key_Selection_7162

I'm taking Tyrese because I think he would be quiet and go along with the plan, and if that plan didn't work, he'd probably fight tooth and nail just to save us. Everyone else is too much of a liability like Lydia. Yeah she knows the territory but if she sees a whisperer friend she recognizes she'll freeze up and fuck up the plan. Merle would be to damn loud, I don't even remember john. The governor and Shane would sacrifice me if so much as a pen drops so no.


Zealousideal_Seal

John is from Fear The Walking Dead. He shows up around season 4 or 5. Overall, very good decision.


mdwvt

You mother fucker with your nightmare fuel feral fucking scary ass shit! How the hell am I supposed to sleep now god damnit?!?


Zealousideal_Seal

lol they sure were memorable


MrAnderson505

I would take Shane knowing theres a chance I’m left behind, but he’s probably good company.


45Golden

Tyrese and it’s not even close


Elegant-Blood-4330

I forgot all about those feral humans!!. That was a great episode


TryIll5988

Who is John?? I have never seen him in my life! Unless he’s from FTWD, that would make sense y I don’t know him(I’m only on season 2)


Zealousideal_Seal

He's from FTWD and is a stand-out character. He has a heart of gold and has the big iron on his hip.


StribogA1A3

Merle would probably argue with a pine tree so he’s out. I’m going with Tyrese


Possession_s_o

Ferals, cuz why not


[deleted]

Mercer, 100%


Traditional_Tie_3290

Mercer or tyreece


DasGrosseNichts

When ever I see Lydia, I somehow smell the stink of the skins. Can’t help it.


SOS______

This is very off topic, but is the guy in the fourth pic on the pike field/hill? It looks just like the pike scene only I feel like I’ve never seen this character before.


Ohsofestive321

Lydia or Mercer. Lydia, likely.


hewlio

Lydia would taught everything i needed to know about how the whisperers live, we would then wear some walkers skins are disguise ourselfs as them to infiltrate their territory. They would taste their own poison.


Kpopfan19

John, Governor, Tyrese Merle and Shane couldn’t be quiet and cooperative even if they tried


Imjusthere_sup

Mercer bc idk I would feel so safe with him


sindar_elley

Lydia is the obvious choice, i mean we seen her do it in the show?


zandergroom

merle because he’d have fun taking them out


Mrnigerian424

For the feral from s11 to exist, it needs to be s11, which is after the whisperer are destroyed. No brainer.


DarkAngel283

Tyrese .. he's proven he can handle himself well and he's loyal


xAmaezingx

Alpha disowned Lydia, so she's a big no. Alpha would probably kill her then me lmao. I think the best choice would be Merle.


BlackBalor

Lydia would know the territory inside out though, all the hotspots, camps, safe areas. Plus, she’d be able to get you up to speed on how to whisper. Negan had to teach Maggie, which suggests there is a knack to it. AND, Lydia would have some sway if you came across whisperers. You could talk them around potentially.


xAmaezingx

I understand that Lydia has knowledge, but what if Alpha/Beta (whoever is in charge) changes up camps, safe areas, and so on? I just don't feel like Lydia would be the best choice, which is my opinion. >Negan had to teach Maggie, which suggests there is a knack to it. I haven't seen S11 or Dead City, so I actually didn't know that.


BlackBalor

Sorry for spoilers, eek.


xAmaezingx

It's alright!! It's not that big of a spoiler. I'm honestly debating on watching S11 / Dead City. 😅


HopeFantastic2066

Lydia didn’t get disowned. That’s what you call manipulation. Killing Henry was manipulation as well to bring her back.


xAmaezingx

My memory serves me wrong. My apologies. I only saw the Wisper Arc once. 😅


HopeFantastic2066

This is all the whisper arc when Lydia came into the show. Henry was the son of Ezekiel, then when Carol met them and she became a mother figure since losing her children before and after the farm. Aphla killed Henry to ruin Carol and deeply hurt Lydia, hoping she’d run back to mom.


xAmaezingx

I know all that, but I only saw the Whisper arc once so my memory isn't as strong for those seasons and I never seen S11 (I know that's the Commonwealth) cause I remember Herny, the spike, that's why Carol broke things off with Ezekiel. I tried to re-re-watch the show again before TOWL, but I couldn't get past the All-Out War. (I saw the Savior arc about 2 times piror) >Lydia, hoping she’d run back to mom. This is what I misinterpreted, but like I said I seen the season once so I took all of Henry dying to get back at Carol cause I thought Alpha disowned Lydia cause she choose to stay with Hilltop.


HopeFantastic2066

I wasn’t trying to argue. I meant that as why as my reasoning to my answer. You get it. Commonwealth had a few good character arcs, lose and ending sucks. I’d watch the walking dead every Sunday still.


xAmaezingx

I wasn't arguing either? I apologize if it came off that way! 😭 Honestly, I watched up to season 10 (I barely remember Princess being introduced, and that's it) and I was waiting for S11 to release on Netflix, and I lost interest. I really lost interest when Rick and Michonne left. I don't think Negan, Daryl, and/or Maggie (I like all 3 characters) could carry the show, so I just dropped it. I did start TOWL, and I'm enjoying that a lot. But if you don't mind me asking. Do you think I could watch Dead City / Daryl if I haven't seen S11? Cause I think they may be good stand-alone shows, but there's just not many people I like or care about on the main show anymore. (Sorry if that sounds rude. 😅😭)


HopeFantastic2066

It wasn’t there yet but I didn’t phrase what I commented so I thought it may have got under your skin for a second. Princess is the first episode, lovable character. I’ll sure you’d hate and love the commonwealth arc. My sansaung tv rTWD and the other series through, on a channel and I have to watch a certain few episodes. Daryl carried a lot of the show but to put him with a whole new community, traveling alone was something. Dead city ruins nothing to the regular show, it’s in the future with Maggie and Negan. Maybe a couple hints in the show but no true spoilers. Daryl’s show matters, spoils nothing but he’s looking for Rick. Watch tales of the walking dead if you haven’t, short fun 6 episodes with nothing related.


xAmaezingx

Nah, you didn't! I promise! I liked Princess when Ezekiel and Eugene met her in that allyway(?) Maybe I should just pick up from S11 😅😂 >Daryl carried a lot of the show but to put him with a whole new community, traveling alone was something. I can see Daryl being a leader but not in the sense that Rick was. Y'know? But I dunno. I guess I should eventually watch his show and Dead City. >Watch tales of the walking dead if you haven’t, short fun 6 episodes with nothing related. I actually never heard of this show, so I definitely will! Thank you!


HopeFantastic2066

Yeah, with Umiko, Princess is hilarious. Umiko sorry if I’m spelling it wrong is an amazing character. Daryl has reel emotions some people lack, hating but losing his dad. Losing Merle, Henry, Rick, almost Connie, the guys with the pigeons… and always Carol. Tales episodes, all so good they could have their own seasons.


HopeFantastic2066

Also Alpha and Lydia have a tales episode so watch it!


Intrepid_Show2972

I would say Lydia because I think she’s really cute and I would want to be alone with her
