The Walking Dead: 10 Romances We Could Have Done Without

The Walking Dead show has been around for a very long time, and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon - especially now that three feature films are in the works. Most people would agree that The Walking Dead comic books are much better, especially in terms of character development, but whatever your thoughts are on the show, you can't deny its success.

As we know, comic book adaptations often struggle to remain faithful. Thankfully, The Walking Dead hasn't been that bad when it comes to staying true to the original but that's not to say that it hasn't strayed from time to time.

Most of this drifting has come in the form of romance or what The Walking Dead attempts at romance. Although it might be nice to have a little intimacy during a zombie apocalypse, the show has a way of making it seem severely out of place.

In fact, for some reason, the writers are seemingly obsessed with pairing up random characters with zero chemistry in the hope that something magical will come out of it. Guess what? It rarely does.

Let's get this one out of the way.

Yes, everybody loves Glen. Yes, everybody loves Maggie. Yes, everybody loves them together. But it's time to face facts, and it's time that someone admitted the truth. They were terrible together! Someone had to say it.

The problem with their relationship was that it solely focussed on Glenn. Without Glenn and Maggie, there would be no Maggie, but there would still be a Glenn. The show openly fawned over Glenn to the point where it just got weird.

Firstly, we had to deal with the "will he die or won't he die" fiasco which went on every season until he finally did die. In fact, the whole thing got so infuriating that we kind of just wanted him to die so we could move on.

To be clear, Glenn isn't the bad guy in all of this. The show's obsession with Glenn ended up being so over the top that it just pretty much ruined his character arc by the end. It sabotaged both his likability, and his romance with Maggie.

Plus, once Glenn finally kicked the bucket, Maggie suddenly became her own person. She was brave, cool, amazing, and everything we knew she could be without that little drip by her side who kept on swooping in and saving the day only to nearly get killed a second later. She didn't need you to save her Glenn, she was fine by herself!
