The Walking Dead: 5 Characters Better In The TV Show (And 5 Who Were Worse!)
3. Tyreese (Worse)
I must admit, Tyreese is probably one of my favourite characters in the comic series. Meeting the group shortly after Shane's demise, Tyreese and Rick form a solid friendship that sees the pair relying on each other for survival and confiding in the things they had done to get this far. The pair also clash a couple of times as Tyreese isn't just a yes man to Rick, but someone who is willing to stand for what he believes in.
Tyreese in the show couldn't be more different. While Tyreese in the comics is a furious, strong willed character, TV Tyreese is much more fragile and less adapted to the zombie apocalypse. His arc revolving around forgiving Carol for what she did to Karen is great, but after this he doesn't play much of a role. He doesn't kill Martin, who leads the Hunters back to the group, and never seems to acknowledge his mistake in sparing him.
He then exited the show with a whole episode dedicated to him, which was pretty good, but nothing on the character we got in the comics.
