The Walking Dead: 5 Characters Who Should Die In Season 6

1. Rick Grimes

The Walking Dead
AMC

Rick has been a rollercoaster throughout the five seasons of The Walking Dead. We’ve seen good cop Rick, bad cop rick to not cop at all farmer rick, ear-biting cannibal rick, the Ricktatorship, and downright paranoid Rick this last season. 

 Where can his character possibly go from here? He has evolved to survive in the world of walkers but at the same time he’s devolving as a human, become almost animalistic and primitive at times. This makes his character both intriguing and tiresome at the same time. It’s almost become predictable, something terrible or traumatic happens which causes Rick to go crazy and attempt to restore order. Then something else happen which makes him realize he needs to take a chill pill and take a step back: aka farmer Rick. It’s a cycle and it can’t go on forever.

Why he should die: Surely this is the most controversial inclusion on the list, but fear not, He won’t, at least not this season. Rick is the face of The Walking Dead, and right now he is safe but it would make for a shocking twist if he were to be killed off. He has effectively become an anti-hero for the show, a person who you hate. 

Expect people to seriously challenge his authority and knock him down a peg this season though. It appears Morgan will be that challenging figure but it could also come from Carol or Daryl as they are both more than capable of leading the group and may come to realize how far gone Rick has become. The question is whose side will you be on?
