As seen by the decline in the grades in later seasons, most viewers at The Walking Dead can point out the moment they quit the show. For many, it's Lucil's terror against Glenn (Steven Jun) In the premiere of Season 7. For others, it is a untimely demolition of that kid with a silly hat (also known as Carl). However, my personal breaking point is quite rare among the random: I first stopped watching after Dennis's death (Merite Wever).

Deniz rarely makes the top of his favorite list of characters on any fan, but I like it because of how much a real person looks. Most of the characters on this show are cool in a way that feels the cinema, while Dennis (with her problems with anxiety and her anxious interests) is found as a real -world person. She is someone who was probably destined to become a librarian, only to force her fate to serve as the only doctor in her city amid the zombie apocalypse. Dennis is struggling to be a difficult medical professional with limited medical training, but still really comes to her during the 6th season.

It's a great bow ... almost. But instead of leading to the exciting resolution Dennis got in the original comics "Walking Dead" (more about it later), her bow is shortened with an arrow to her head. Yes, this is: In "Two Far" in Season 6, Dennis talks about an exciting speech when a hidden enemy shoots her with a crossbow screw, right through the eye. She is particularly disturbing because she continues to talk a few seconds after hitting; It is much like the "Breaking Bad" gossip takes the time to adjust the tie after the blast blows half of the face.

Dennis' death was controversial for several reasons. The first was that it felt like the show crumbled one of the few new characters that were actually interesting. Denise is cool with each passing episode and it would be fun to see what it would look like, once it catches up. The second was that Dennis was one of the few characters on the show, and her death happened in the midst of a strange high wave of lesbians killed on larger TV shows in 2016. There have been a lot of discussions about pop culture about Bury your gay trophy That year, Dennis's death came in the middle.

The third reason is that, as the fans of the source material of the show already know, Bolt was intended for Abraham (Michael Kudlitz), not Denise. In the comic books, Abraham dies exactly the same way Dennis does on the "Walking Dead" TV show, next to the section where he continues to give his emotional speech a little even when his brain closes. This change adds extra cruel irony to Dennis' death, because the boy who shot Bolt was aimed at Dwight, not for her. Both in the universe and at Meta Level, that Bolt never had to hit Dennis.

Many fans were fine with Dennis dying instead of Abraham. Abraham has been introduced two seasons earlier and he has been trying for a long time, while Dennis recently started receiving screen time. For fans of comics who entered the scene, frightening the worst for Abraham, they felt relief when his death was given to someone else. However, they would not be happy long. Only three episodes later, Abraham rejoiced on his head with a bat by Negan (Effeefrey Dean Morgan). Hard happiness, Abe! For one, I would prefer the death with a crossbow.

The fourth reason Dennis's death scene in the show was disappointing is because the fans of the comic book "Walking Dead" knew everything about her potential. In the comics, Dennis survives 50 editions before, in her last story, she bites in hand by Walker as part of a Negan attack. Then she has the opportunity to amputate her hand, sparing her life, but quickly realizes that she will need both hands to save her boyfriend's life, which was also seriously injured in the attack.

As such, Dennis refuses to amputate his hand and spend his last hours saving Hit's life before succumbing to the infection. She never regrets her decision, eventually dying with comfort to know that she is brave to the end. It is a heroic, dignified conclusion about her narrative.

If there is a flaw with Dennis finishing in the comic, it is that she has never had a large characters. This version of Deniz is cool and heavy from the first day, unlike the soft, anxious chaos, it begins as on the TV series "Walking Dead". The Sacrificert of the comic book Dennis is cool, but the victim of Dennis TV would be a powerful, bitter moment of the whole circle for her. The show had the opportunity to massively improve the source, but instead chose to shorten an exciting bow. I guess if you want a "Walking Dead" story for a cowardly lion that finds your courage, you will have to calm down for Father Gabriel.
