The Walking Dead: 10 Giant Plot-Holes You Probably Missed
6. The Start Of The Governors Vendetta Against Rick Makes No Sense
The Governor was one of the most iconic and sadistic villains in the comic book universe. Not only is he an insane leader who enjoys torture and rape, he went to extreme lengths in order to win the prison from Rick's group. As for the TV-show Governor? Nowhere near as good. The problem stems right from the beginning of the show's Woodbury arc. The comic books depicted Woodbury as unsafe whilst the prison is a safe haven, hence why the Governor wants it so badly for him and his people. In the show however, the prison is shown to be less than safe at best whilst Woodbury seems like a utopia by comparison. This kind of renders the Governor's vendetta against Rick's group kind of pointless as there is no real reason to go after the prison and Woodbury was clearly the better place to be (until it got burned down). Yes, he is still quite insane with his office of zombie heads and all, but everything could've worked better had the producers given the Governor a better reason to go after the prison in the first place. The show did try to justify the Governor's motivations later on by having Michonne murder his zombified daughter, but that doesn't quite erase the early mistakes of the Rick-Governor conflict.
My life story is nothing special. I haven't cured ebola, I'm nowhere near stopping terrorism, and I'm still working on that climate change problem.
Instead, all I've done so far is put a few hundred words together in an attempt to make people laugh.
