I never realized Carl never killed a zombie up close in hand to hand combat which explains how he died so easily helping Siddiq

After TWOL I’ve been binge watching the show again and it actually does help to rewatch when you’re not pissed about what’s happening cause you can pick up on a lot LOL. Like everyone else I hated Carl’s death and thought the show made the worst decision. I remember at the time being so mad that Carl got bit by a walker too. Like this kid has been through countless wars and a few walkers take him out? But on rewatch I noticed some things that were shocking like the fact that I have not seen Carl kill a walker during hand to hand combat NOT ONCE! He always uses a gun which I find shocking on rewatch. Like I haven’t seen a knife or something pointy AT ALL. Shocking to realize- I know he’s trained but still made me realize the way he dies makes somewhat more sense now.

The scene of Carl’s bite is reminiscent to me of the scene after Rick and Carl escape the burned down prison and Carl kills the walkers looking for food (ie 112oz of chocolate pudding) - it’s three against one and Carl has his gun and it’s a close call but he kills them. It’s almost the same exact scene as Carl’s bite scene- and it’s clear to me on rewatch the fact that Carl got bit in the same side as his missing eye is the reason he got bit.

I still think Carl’s death was ridiculous and a horrible decision, but upon rewatch I’m literally shocked at how little Carl has had to kill walker’s up close. Also doesn’t make sense to me why Carl chose that moment to not use his gun and kill those walkers helping siddiq - cause historically thats his method of killing walkers. I saw someone say carls death was originally going to be Morgan’s death- god that makes way more sense. They should have done it that way instead of trying to milk fear, ugh the show would have been so much better with Carl still around. Would have helped us through the absence of Rick and michonne.

While obviously Judith was always going to wield a sword cause of Michonne I can’t help wonder if this was on purpose because michonne wanted to be sure Judith could kill walkers up close.

Anyways - just had to vent about this. Sorry to trigger anyone who is still pissed about carls death like me 😂
