re: The Walking Dead Official Comics and Speculation Thread ***Spoilers***

Who are you on Spoil?

You can read them for free on YouTube.

We are the only ones that spur discussion, hell Gaetti starts them.

Didn't negan have 6 wife's if and I mean if someone could see this as a spoiler with you connecting gareath with him. I know it's a stretch but anything to get you banned if they could.

True but you know how the non readers are just saying.

Here, y'all can enjoy this because the episode thread isn't going to answer it because it makes perfect sense and has no spoilers.


So we've got two sides. One that this Terminus group are cannibals. And this is where the majority is, because of evidence in the show. (The snare trap parallel. Caging the "livestock" and not killing them. The entrails. The whole episode being focused around food, but either growing it or trapping it. And at one point trapping and raising it.)

Then we have the side that says, it's too easy that they're cannibals, and of course this quote from TigerinATL in a post that seems to be used as the main argument for not cannibals.

quote:

---

All the signs are there except for the fact that it doesn't make sense. This still America where everyone would be disgusted at the thought of cannibalism unless extremely desperate, they are in a large fenced in facility with some amount of electricity, the ability to grow food and a decent amount of human labor. If that's the direction they're going I'll suspend my disbelief, but it just seems like it'd be a hard sell for people capable of producing their own food. Slave labor would seem the more logical way to go than cannibalism. Where do all of the people of Terminus go? Are they in the rec room watching TV? Again, canniballism seems like a bit of a stretch given their capabilities which means it will probably require a bit more explanation than one episode of "we're cannibals and you're dinner".

Question is, if not cannibals, then what?

Before answering, remember this: The people of Terminus have apparently been fricked before. That's why they say "Us always first" or whatever it was of that nature. This is also this quote: Alex said that "the more people become part of us, we get stronger."

If slave labor, where are the slaves and what are they working on? I didn't see any fields or livestock (which could mean Terminus is a big place so that could be given).

Extremely desperate is the name of the game. The Governor was extremely desperate, he brought a fricking tank to tare down the house that he WANTED. Shane was desperate, he wanted to kill his best friend and take everything he had and would have killed more people if needed (see Otis). Now, what did they have in common? They lived the "normal life." They had jobs, a house and people that cared for them. Their survival in day to day life came from going to the supermarket and picking up what was on the list. In a zombie filled frick show of a world, they have to find new ways of survival. Sort of like the people of Terminus. They're desperate.

Now look at people like Joe and the Marauders. What did Joe tell Daryl? He didn't see the world as going to shite. He saw it as finally leveling out. Becoming what it's suppose to be. He's not desperate. He's comfortable.

And you're right they are still in America. Killing children is looked down on as well, but they did it when they could have easily locked Lizzy up in the house and left. And don't forget the Terminus folks treated to kill Carl.

I can't argue against your point. It is funny how they refuse to accept logic though.

Guys am I going to get any "Liberty has a point" or "He is in the right" posts in the other thread haha?

I've already been PM'd about spoilers so no I'm not gonna say you go liberty

Liberty...you are okay in my book.

I don't have a problem with what you said, although, I do see Coco's point.

It would be best if we readers would just stay out all together.
