The Walking Dead season 10: Who’s behind the Whisperer propaganda?
By Joe LaBrosse
Alden
While Alden (Callan McAuliffe) is seemingly too good of a guy to do something as divisive as this, he is out for blood after the Whisperers killed his girlfriend Enid.
Based off his rude remarks to Lydia (Cassady McClincy) during the season 9 finale, we know Alden is holding in a lot of anger right now, and rightfully so.
In terms of those left standing after the infamous pike scene, Alden may be the character who has been negatively impacted the most by the Whisperers. Not only did Alpha kidnap him and use him as trade bait for Lydia, but he also had to witness a baby nearly being eaten by walkers as the Whisperers held him down to stop him from helping.
Couple that with the fact that Alpha’s group took away the woman who he was starting to establish a serious relationship with in Enid, and you have a man with so many reasons to want to take out every last Whisperer.
If Michonne (Danai Gurira), Carol (Melissa McBride), Daryl (Norman Reedus), and the other leaders of the community decide not to immediately take military action against the Whisperers, Alden may become fed up and try to convince others to agree with his perspective through the “Silence the Whispers” campaign.
He has always been a reasonable, level-headed character, but all of Alden’s recent trauma involving the Whisperers may lead him to take matters into his own hands through propaganda.
