The Walking Dead: World Beyond: Who’s The Worst?

Of all the villains we met in The Walking Dead: World Beyond…who’s THE WORST?

Now that the first season of The Walking Dead: World Beyond is in the books, I think it’s time I did something I haven’t done in a looooong time.

You see, when I first started writing for Undead Walking, I started with two things that I wanted to get to the bottom of: 1) Of all the villains, who’s the most redeemable? And, 2) Of all the villains, who’s the most…irredeemable?

As I was watching The Walking Dead at the time, I had seen so many villains (Or people who could be perceived as villains), and had seen so many have tragic backstories, or evolve into a different person, that I began to root for some to turn the corner (Father Gabriel is a good example), while others, like Martin (Trust me, just watch TWD’s season five premiere, “No Sanctuary”. He’s the douche with the Tigers hat. When you listen to what he says, and how he reacts to things, you’ll realize what a soulless goblin he is. But, I digress…), I realized were objectively beyond redemption.

That brought me to start doing these, my “…Who’s The Worst?/Who ISN’T The Worst?” series, where I try to argue both for and against the villains in each Walking Dead series each season, based off of what we see of them in that season. Sometimes, I’ve had to skip one or the other series, usually because either no new villains were introduced, or more likely, because none of the ones that were gave even the slightest hint of a redeemable bone in their bodies.

Luckily, though, with the arrival of World Beyond, I’ve been given a brand new crop of characters to pore over, and decide who can be redeemed, and, as we’ll see here, who deserves to be condemned.
