The Greatest Television Character Ever Created 

Actually?

Hard to match Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes

the emmy's dont deserve andrew

a grime

True dat.

So you got to meet Rick grimes and you also beat whatever illness you had?🫡

thats amazing!

Did her shoot your illness?

You’re an absolute legend, salute to you

If he had the beard the tumor just ran off

The same way RDJ is synonymous with Iron Man

Has there ever been another portrayal of Rick?

@@Shiftarus in video games but thats about it

Exactly they are perfect

@@solas444which????

Same here..

Sad that you need that inspiration from a fictional character, rather than someone whose actually part of your life…

@@kw8831 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@@kw8831sad that you most likely idolize real humans, probably celebrities, instead of find that inspiration and motivation from within you

​@@kw8831So I guess you never drew inspiration from anyone you've never met before. Fictional or otherwise.

Rick, Arthur, Walter, Saul, Tony and Elliot Alderson (Mr Robot) are 6 best protagonists of all time

Amen

I agree cowpoke

@@hammywoods okay I’ll catch you later then

I would have to give it to Tony Soprano as the greatest TV character. Old Ricky wouldnt break the top ten.

Remember him in a show playing a character called Egg, think it was called this life but i could be wrong.

@@BADWOLF-cs6ow That's correct. Based on his previous work, casting people at TWD really earned their money with that.

Cheers from across the pond.

i feel the same way

You’re not the only one on this comment section to say such things. IMO it’s sad that you require that inspiration from a fictional character, rather than a real person…

parasocial relationships are so weird as a concept

You have no idea how many people resort to books/movies/videogames for finding missing parent figures in their lives.

@@cloudsombrero thank you. Never knew there was a word for what I was trying to say…

Yeah same I watched the show when I was younger and Rick always stuck with me truly a great character.

Watch The Sopranos or The Leftovers and tell me this is the greatest TV character of all time

@@ryleybrohel9445 no :D

​@@ryleybrohel9445Yeah lol, Tony Soprano is a galaxy away from Rick. I don't even think Andrew Lincoln is such a good actor tbh

@@ryleybrohel9445yeah the sopranos definitely has better characters, but idk if the leftovers had a better character than Rick grimes. I guess Garvey and grimes is debatable. Either way I don’t think Rick grimes is one of the ten best characters ever, let alone number 1. For me my top five favorite tv characters are Dexter Morgan, Walter white, homelander, elliot alderson, and joe Goldberg. Those are my five favorites. Other characters that were amazing but not necessarily my top five-ten favorites are Jamie Lannister, Cersei Lannister, Don Draper, tony soprano, Saul Goodman, bubbles from the wire, etc…

bruh have you read the comic? that ending brutal.

@@humbertozambrano6604 I have honestly never read the comics 😭

​@@humbertozambrano6604The comic's ending sucked lol

@@LordVader1094 why do you think it sucked?

Him and Morgan

Maybe until it was ruined when he became negans bit** in season 7 and 8

@@raymondsims7042It wasn’t ruined, what are you talking about??? 😂

@@Clinicallyinsane928 he went from cold blooded leader to sucking negans dik in the matter of episodes. What do you mean “it wasn’t ruined”🤔I’ve never lost more respect for a tv character then I did Rick grimes.

I dont consider it an arc...more like a crazy roller coaster. He could never decide if he wanted to kill everyone or not. But you are right.

Carol too

Facts I couldn't watch it without him in it, but im glad they are making a new show with him in it and I heard he acts more like he did in season 5

@@Sheed96 i love season 5 rick but i kinda doubt it'd work on his new show. tho i understand why he'll go back to that version coz of his situation, i think a more reserved rick would be better because he's supposed to have learned from his past mistakes. a perfect balance of brutality and humanity would be very good.

@@1ight2 if you know what Ik you wouldn't be saying that

@@Sheed96 then tell me what yk..

@@1ight2 I already mentioned it

Haha, nebraska. This guy 🙂.

I hope somehow he faked his death and comes back eventually. That his death was only to make the saviors and ricks group end the war. It sounds dumb yes. But it somehow they could pull it off it’d be crazy

@@jorgeachievementhunter2240yeah it would be cool but unrealistic. He showed the bite he had. Therefore unless he’s immune, he’s probably dead.

@@jorgeachievementhunter2240Nope there's no way he could ever come back.. That would be straight stupid.. He was bit, shot himself and Rick alongside Michonne buried him so that's it..

@@Haboobz66 yeah true I forgot they did bury him but we never saw him shoot himself or get bit

Fans cannot really understand what goes into television. I get it, people just want to watch the show and have a good time. However it's not a comic book, you can't make them do what you want, you're dealing with real life actors, who have a personal life and are doing their own thing. You can only make a contract last up to 7 years in the USA. Now, it so happens that Carl was a child and so you'd need a child actor, obviously there's no such thing as an established 7 year old actor, so you make do with what you've got. We kept following the story and the actor grew up, but if we're honest with ourselves, I think every movie enthusiast could clearly see how bad of an actor he was. Many scenes with him in it were cut, and you could see why. To keep the actor on payroll when he was 18 would mean give him that extra pay, and then the question becomes, why pay so much for a bad actor? You wouldn't, so you kill of the character.

Rick was part of the King County Sheriff’s Department, not the Georgia State Patrol. King County doesn’t actually exist, but I would say the realism of being a small town sheriff’s deputy with an outdated duty weapon is believable.

Realism in a show about zombies?

@@davidnguyen6823 every show requires you to suspend your disbelief a little bit.

Sorry about your Dad. Rick Grimes is my all time favorite tv character and TWD is my favorite show. You could not have picked a better role model than Sheriff Rick Grimes.

Completely agree Rick is and probably always will be my favourite character Andrew Lincoln is just phenomenal.

Speaking strictly of TV characters I actually believe Bob Odenkirk is a slightly better actor than Brian Cranston and James Gandolfini and I do mean slightly, like Andrew Lincoln 10, Bob Odenkirk 9.9, Brian Cranston/James Gandolfini/Peter Dinklage 9.8. I Only don't mention JK Simmons at 9.9 because his TV show Growing Up Fisher was canceled after the 1st season (dumb ass executives). I don't know what I would do if a show came out with Andrew Lincoln, Bob Odenkirk, Brian Cranston, Peter Dinklage and JK Simmons all in it. Probably believe I had died and gone to heaven but then I guess James Gandolfini RIP could be in it :(

@@StrongOakermy top five favorite tv characters are actually Dexter Morgan, Walter white, homelander, elliot alderson, and joe Goldberg. Everyone you named is amazing as well, just not sure where I’d rank them on my personal favorites

@@burdenofbest did you use far cry 5 soundtracks in the background?

@@Pilot119Dying Light and Far Cry 5

Ya I am glad Thomas Jane didn't get it. He was busy with another show on HBO that lasted maybe 1 season. Frank Darabaunt wanted Thomas because he worked with him on the movie "The Mist" along with Melissa McBride and Dale. But IMO Thomas Jane couldn't pull off Rick Grimes nearly as well as Andrew. Not only is Andy a better Actor IMO but being the lead of a show this massive and having to reinvent the main protagonist from the 1st 1/2 of the season to the other 1/2 for 9.5 seasons takes talent. One also has to be a cheerleader for it off set. Interviews, and comic cons, panels, photo shoots etc.. Andrew has a great personality and humble and sweet and relates to the fans and he is LOVED by both cast and crew. Thomas couldn't carry all of that. Imo.

Thomas Jane would've been good too. I think he would've grown into the role just like Andrew did. It's hard to see anyone else as Rick now though.

Too far gone was one of the best episodes beside “how it’s gotta be”

Jesse, wtf are you talking about? Just because you watched it when you were a teenager and now are an adult that means the show changed you? Maybe you should watch more shows throughout the years, like don't binge them all at once and watch one season or at the least two in one year so you grow up with the characters and then you can say they changed you. This way you'll have a long list of "greatest characters ever".

@@MamadNobari If you don’t like The Walking Dead, that’s perfectly fine but you don’t really have any right to tell someone else that they are wrong for their own subjective experiences with art and media and how it affects them. Just because you don’t like The Walking Dead doesn’t suddenly mean that it won’t affect other people in positive and uplifting ways.

Wtf is this comment? The show didn't change you, you jusy changed bc you had to since you were a fuckin kid when it came out. Did you think you were gonna stay the same after 10+ yrs if you never saw the show, as an 11 yr old child?

@@Sev3617 First of all, my main point is that saying "the greatest ever" is dumb in every topic, especially fictional characters. Also when did I say I didn't like Rick Grimes? Rick is definitely one of the best characters I've ever seen, but I know the difference between saying "one of the greatest characters from the shows I've watched" vs saying "THE GREATEST Television CHARACTER EVER MADE and I've watched every television show that has ever existed so I know this one is the best one". And as for the guy, he didn't say how or why Walking Dead changed him. Did you get anything else from his comment other than "I watched this as I was aging and it changed me"? Well no shit, I grew up with Walking Dead too and I'm not the same person I was 8 years ago. Also grew up with Shameless too and its characters. And if the guy did change because of that, then good for him I guess. But he didn't explain why or how it changed him.

@@MamadNobari my bad then

The best way to look at it is: it’s a nice refresher, that expands upon the world of the walking dead. It’s a new aesthetic and so far there is evidence (dead city) that the spin-offs will be good.

Dead city is great

@@Excitegaming0 much agree

Season 9 was so good though!

Except twd is meant to be a complete adaption of the comics. It would be dumb to stop at a certain arc when the comics continues on

@@ohalr. I’m aware of the comics TWD is LOOSELY based on. But the comics and the show diverged a long time ago. Comic characters are dead, and their tv counterparts alive and vice versa Some TV show characters are also exclusive to the show, and same with the comics

Season 11 would've been perfect if they didn't ruin the show

I fundamentally disagree in every means possible known to man. The ultimate purpose of a zombie apocalypse series, should be to achieve a cure, to fully rebuild society again or to atleast discover the source of where the virus came from. Season 8 isn't close to that, not even the finale.

man..days gone by

Frfr

@lekan1234 that episode specifically is the greatest zombie media ever put on film. IMH

“Carl stay back this is gonna get bad.”

⁠@@burdenofbest"I'm bout to show this lab rat how to be a real dad"

Then again it wouldn’t fit the name correctly. The Walking Dead DID end at season 8 but like a walker, it’s still walking.

I rewatched season 1 not so long ago and I can confirm it still holds up as a groundbreaking piece of television.

I drew much inspiration from him and Morgan

Thank you so much for saying what the music was from, such a great soundtrack and I couldn't for the life of me remember where it was from

(jk) not the best but still great

U sure he´s literally you? Because Rick Grimes is literally like me

@@hadessdlt8720 damn we must be twins them

@@simonandrijko1949 Indeed, we´re Rick Grimes

@@hadessdlt8720 "we are the ones who live"

Damn I should have tried that but with subscribers… Hey since they didn’t give him a Emmy, we will ourselves. Give a subscribe if you think he deserves it.

@@burdenofbest you still can try it 😶I won’t be upset use the idea in your next video I’ll subscribe

Thank you very much glad you like the content.

I mean, you can't really put them against each other, rick is just a guy trying to survive and keep his family alive, walter is a villain in the making

*“Yeh Got Meh”*

@@mimmacaco6007not rick. Ricky Dicky Doo Dah Grimes and Balter Black

real

Cause he’s better

Walter White isn't a likeable character. Rick is.

Yeah completely agree he should have won an Emmy

Honestly I think season 8 is the best season in twd I might be alone on that but I could care less

I don’t have it in the UK but I do really want to watch it.

He's the most relatable, that's why. Just a good man living in a corrupt world.

I can’t remember the exact name but it’s from the episode The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be.

Its from the episode "Hearts Still beating" I believe its called "Reconciliation".

Well said.
