Am I the only one sick and tired of everyone falling to their knees begging Rick to be our zombie Jesus?

[caivu]

No kidding. Has he actually even done anything to warrant that kind of adoration?

[cyberghostface]

Yeah? As far as leaders go he’s probably been one of the best at running a peaceful society with no abuses of power.

[akodo_rokku]

Yeah basically every society Rick has set up has been doing pretty well until some asshole comes long to fuck it up.

I wouldn't say that. With the exception of Negan and the Kingdom, the survivors Rick met were either needlessly evil or hopelessly incompetent.

It's just that Rick's own tactical decisions never seem to be much better. He doesn't seem to prioritize anything besides food.

In zombie movies/shows, everyone is an idiot. Rick is just barely less so

In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is King?

Heck, part of it is in this zombie society, unknown variables in leaders are risk and the 'experienced leader' pool is, what, 4 people?
