Characters are erased, new ones are added in, and plot points shift or evaporate entirely. Sometimes the adaptation is as good as its source, sometimes not so much.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of AMC\u2019s <em>The Walking Dead<\/em>, the adaptation seems to have mostly worked, which is likely thanks to writer Robert Kirkman\u2019s continued involvement as an executive producer on the long-running zombie apocalypse show. But the past 10 seasons have not been without notable departures from Kirkman\u2019s comics, some of which were utterly shocking to fans of the source material. Here, some of the biggest changes from page to screen.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Daryl_Doesnt_Exist\"><\/span>Daryl Doesn\u2019t Exist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While he\u2019s a huge fan favorite on the show, in the comics, motorcycle maven and expert tracker Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) didn\u2019t exist, nor does he have a similar counterpart.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Loris_Death_Is_Different_and_so_Dark\"><\/span>Lori\u2019s Death Is Different (and so Dark)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The tragic Season 3 death of Lori Grimes (Sarah Wayne Callies), wife to leader Rick (Andrew Lincoln), after giving birth to baby Judith (now played by Cailey Fleming) sent Rick on a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> to Crazy Town. But in the comics, she doesn\u2019t die in childbirth \u2014 she actually perishes during the Governor\u2019s (David Morrissey) attack on the prison, where both she and Judith are killed. That route is obviously pretty brutal and disturbing, so it\u2019s not hard to see why the change was made for the show.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Andrea_Gets_a_Much_Bigger_Story\"><\/span>Andrea Gets a Much Bigger Story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many fans of the source material bristled at Andrea\u2019s (Laurie Holden) storyline in Season 3, as they were expecting to see her grow into her comics counterpart. But instead of her becoming the group\u2019s sharpshooter and ending up in a relationship with Rick, Andrea wound up with the Governor \u2014 and she died in the season finale, far, far earlier in the timeline than comics-Andrea does.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Carols_Almost_Unrecognizable\"><\/span>Carol\u2019s Almost Unrecognizable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-830504\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TWD_1006_JD_0805_0545_RT-854x570.jpg\" alt=\"TWD_1006_JD_0805_0545_RT\" width=\"854\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TWD_1006_JD_0805_0545_RT-854x570.jpg 854w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TWD_1006_JD_0805_0545_RT-292x195.jpg 292w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TWD_1006_JD_0805_0545_RT-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TWD_1006_JD_0805_0545_RT-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TWD_1006_JD_0805_0545_RT-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TWD_1006_JD_0805_0545_RT-385x257.jpg 385w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TWD_1006_JD_0805_0545_RT.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a big Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) fan, don\u2019t read the comics expecting to see her badassery on the page. While Carol exists, she bears little resemblance beyond her name to the Terminus-exploding character viewers know and love. In the comics, she died during the prison arc by allowing a walker to consume her. Yep, seriously.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beths_Also_Not_Around\"><\/span>Beth\u2019s Also Not Around<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Like Daryl, Beth Greene (Emily Kinney) doesn\u2019t exist in the source material. Her big sister Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and patriarch Hershel (Scott Wilson), however, do. As a result, plenty of the storylines involving Beth were new material, including the controversial arc at Grady Memorial Hospital in Season 5\u2026which resulted in her death.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"That_Infamous_Lineup_Scene\"><\/span>That Infamous Lineup Scene<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t <em>exactly<\/em> a secret that speedy survivor Glenn (Steven Yeun) wouldn\u2019t make it past the group\u2019s first interaction with the villainous Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), given that he\u2019s killed via Negan\u2019s barbed wire baseball bat, Lucille, in the comics, too. What was different is how it all went down: In the source material, Glenn is the only death in the lineup. On the show, Negan kills the battle-hardened Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) first, then Glenn, after Daryl lashes out.

On the show, Rick\u2019s son dies from a walker bite, but in the source material, Carl makes it to the very end and actually outlives his father \u2014 who, by the way, doesn\u2019t get taken by CRM before the Whisperer arc in the comics.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%A6and_Morgan_Dies\"><\/span>\u2026and Morgan Dies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Plenty of fans anticipated Morgan Jones\u2019 (Lennie James) tenure on the show to end in Season 8, as he would\u2019ve been the perfect candidate to ask Rick to spare Negan\u2019s life. Not only is Morgan still on <em>Fear<\/em>, but he\u2019s also far outlived his comics counterpart, who didn\u2019t even make it to the story\u2019s battle with Negan.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Differing_Baddies\"><\/span>Differing Baddies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Governor, Whisperers leader Alpha (Samantha Morton) and Negan were all pulled straight from the page, but the Wolves, the Termites, and CRM, among others, never caused trouble for the survivors in the comics.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_Relationships\"><\/span>New Relationships<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since Daryl doesn\u2019t exist in the source material, there\u2019s no shipping of \u201cCaryl\u201d or \u201cDonnie\u201d (with Lauren Ridloff\u2019s Connie) going on.
