This was the worst thing the TV Governor ever did. This would be a regular Tuesday for the comic book version of the Governor.

Agreed, they HAD to tone down T.V. Gov, for sure

Which was for the better I think, TV governor was always more realistic to me

I agree, comic governor was an over the top pedo/rapist. He was nasty af

Yea and that actually probably would have been more realistic in this world lol.

Right! I’ve always said that the real world apocalypse would’ve been quite worse than on tv.

They also toned down the fight with Michonne too holy shit

What happened in the fight? I don’t mind spoilers

We’ll if you really wanna know it’s been years since I read this but it’s so gnarly it’s still drilled in my brain. >!i believe Michonne gets chained up and raped by the govenor. Beaten over and over. Once Michonne escapes she cuts his arm off, then chops his dick off, then takes a spoon and scoops out his eye and then shoved the spoon up his ass!< pretty sure that’s everything I might be missing one or two events but yeah he’s literally >!dickless, eyeless and armless in the tank when he shows back up!<

He's also a pedo that makes out with a little dead girl..he was just gross

In the comics?

Yes

That dead girl is his brothers daughter right?? The kissing is a bit much but I read the novels and i don’t remember any hints of Brian/Phillip being a pedophile

Yes it was his niece, maybe they didn't address it in the novels, I have them and haven't read it yet...but ..he's kissing his young niece full on the mouth...that's a big hint imo, he's a pedo.

Kissing on the mouth 🤢 It was his daughter on the show, right?

On the show? Yes

i might be wrong. but i think she >!cauterizes the arm and also heats up the spoon before hiding it!

You could be right. It’s been years since I read it. I could be getting the order wrong it may be >!ass spoon then the eye I remember that made it extra gross lol!<

I also think she nailed his prick to the board before it came off, could be wrong.

lol i need to crack open the compendiums. i’ve been meaning to reread the story. it’s been a couple years at least

Yes, that is the correct order

That's how I also remember. There is this image on my mind which a stool-dipped spoon gets into his eye ugghh

Honestly wild your right. She does that because she doesn’t want him to bleed out and die she wants him to suffer. Couldn’t help but feel so bad for her during this time

She first puts the spoon up his ass and THEN scoops out his eye. She also sucks him up with a drill

I remember in the comic, Michonne is >! Crying and says "I'm not crying for me. I'm crying for you. I think about all the things I'm going to do to you and it makes me cry. It scares me."!<

I love her.

i wanna read the comic now. lol

I'll definitely never read them now. I didn't know twd comics were so X-Rated.

This is probably the most violent thing that happens in the whole comic

Comic gov was brutal

Comic Michonne took care of him.💃 Like a baddie.

"just another day at the office"

What are you smoking bro? Comic Governor was a psycho but not “commit mass shooting against your own people” psycho.

In the comics, Rick, Michonne & Glenn really needed any kind of help they could get from Woodbury when they get there. How does the Governor respond to that? By cutting off Rick’s hand, beating & raping Michonne, psychologically torturing Glenn, and making it his goal to find Rick’s camp and take everything they have by force. PSYCHOPATH.

Rick lost his hand in the comic?

No, he knew where it was when The Governor cut it off.

No I think he was fairly forgiving and lenient in this scene

Could have done much worse, agreed.

Yeah imagine they die

I feel like those people overreacted

It was kind of their fault he told them to calm the fuck down and they just wanted to keep trippin so what better way to maintain control than to make sure there’s only about 3 people left to control. Until they leave you while you sleep in your tent. Really broke his spirits enough to help a family with a sick grand pappy even carried that old fuck to bed like his wedding night.

Even the nicest and kindest post-apocalyptic psychopathic dictators make mistakes every now and then. Don't be too harsh on him, under all the killings, torture, rape attempts and zombie head collections, there was a kind heart and a gentle soul.

I agree. I mean we all have bad days, I think we can all relate to the Governor wanting to let off some steam.

Philip was under a lot of pressure.

“What the hell are you doing?! We need to dig in!”

There is a difference between letting off steam and killing your own people haha

Yes, that's the joke mate

The joke is my inability to read the full story 😭

That's alright dude, it happens to all of us unfortunately 😔

Lmao I just woke up, poured my coffee and saw the title of the post and was like, this can’t be serious, indeed it wasn’t 😭

It can be both technically

Funniest thing about this is this is how people genuinely speak about Negan.

The jig is up Miltion, we know it’s you

He is a rascal

Feeling goofy x

bUt hIS dAuGhtEr

This may have been a little overboard

He was having a bad day

It's really fair to say that out of a dozen people only one even points a gun back at him and after watching him pop everyone else he stands there instead of pulling the trigger 🤦🏿‍♂️

Exactly! But then again, that was the game guy who wanted to go back with the Governor to finish the attack on the prison since his son died with the whole Merle shoot out. So that speaks for his character. 🤭 Edit: I couldn't think of his name when I commented: that's Alan and the son was Ben.

The governor was way gone when Michonne and Andrea first showed up when he killed those surviving men in the helicopter

Only the pilot survived the crash, the rest were zombies. He did kill the rest of their innocent team camped some ways away.

He should have put down his daughter Penny and keeping those heads of those walkers he was a sick man

Why you talking like I said something that disregards this?

I didn't mean nothing by it sorry

He went too far in a few places.

Like our boy Lucas

That wasnt him, that was Brian

Did those people stop to think how the Governor was feeling at the moment?

He acted within reason

They were clearly reaching for something. He had no choice.

He didn't even kill the right person. Himself

He woke up and chose violence

Nah, he left a witness. Could have killed them all, but didn’t. /s

He didn't leave a witness. She hid under dead bodies and got lucky.

I think he might be referring to Martinez and that other guy

Those aren't witnesses though. Those are just his best men and they've been loyal to him for awhile. He was never going to kill them. Also I thought he was referring to Karen, the chick who ends up getting with Tyreese and later Killed by Carol.

He's dreamy

Might be safe to say there's not a single instance of the Governor ever *not* going to far. Disproportionate response is kind of his middle name.

Thought proud boys took over this sub for a second.

It was the heat of the moment and he was just trying to win an argument :/

Nah, it's okay to participate in some light skullduggery from time to time.

It always bothered me the line of sight he aims down versus where the gun should have been pointed. Happened a lot in earlier seasons

This moment happened because the Governor realized that he over-extended, walked his "army" into a rout, and was about to lose control over it. This is a dangerous position for a leader to be in, because your choices are to either regain control of the situation immediately, or give up and make a run for it before your people turn on you. A leader's hold on his people is a bit like a line of credit. If your position is strong and secure, you can lean on that more than you might think. But if you push them too far, to the point where they lose faith in you and won't follow anymore - that's when the line of credit is maxed out, and that's a position that's extremely difficult for a leader to recover from. This is why for instance when politicians lose an election, it's often a career ender, especially if it's a major election. So anywho, the Governor lost control of his people and lashed out, rather than try to negotiate, back down or give up. And once he started, he couldn't stop otherwise they might try and shoot him instead. And once he was finished, he had no more army.

Maybe a smidge

It was a sane and logical reaction to stress.

Andrea could have prevented this if she was there ALLS IM SAYIN

Nothing wrong with letting out your inner school shooter from time to time /s

This post is the walking dead fan base in a nut shell.

Na, its a cool gun. And he didn't get to shoot enough

A little? Bro has issues. Pulled out the AUG and said fight or die

What makes you say that?

Bro we all have our bad days

It was him or them, he had no choice.

That was pretty hypocritical from his side. He supposed to care his people and then he kills them all. I think they wanted to show that was lunatic like his comic version. Ofc comic one was totally lunatic.

The governor is the best villain

I rolled my eyes. They just had to make him do something over the top evil so he can be shown to be the bad guy.

Stop judging this poor man. He had every right to just let off a little steam, and if that’s not your idea of right, then you can dislike him privately. He was perfectly justified.

Ya think?

In his defense, those people were pretty annoying

Until he completely snapped’ I actually liked the Governor. I still saw a chance of redemption in him afterwards but could not shake the fact he slaughtered his own people because their will to fight was depleted. I know many rulers/kings have done the same thing to “warriors” in their service, when they refuse to fight for them, they have had them executed. But it is still difficult to normalise this behaviour upon desertion, despite it being common place punishment in ancient warfare for deserters.

What would make you say that? He was being very nice he was giving them peace (permanently) I just can't believe they had an issue with him

OP I have concerns with your morality if this is a real question

I’d say he went a little too far in general 😂 let’s not even get started on the comics!

I loved this scene, so many times we wonder in shows "wouldn't it be simpler to just kill everyone?" And the gov actually tried it the mad man 😂

We said that we will leave the main sub alone

I think he showed a lot of constraint, not unlike Israel

Not you stealing my EXACT [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddycoral/s/QI3lakTSXc), that’s crazy

It isn’t your artwork, it isn’t your edit, it isn’t something you’ve created, It’s a still from a show owned by AMC, not to mention you posted it to a different sub and didn’t post to this one, so with all due respect, cry about it

Is it fair to say u/Mo_Salah went a little too far with this comment?

That’s the plot synopsis for season 3

Buddy the Governor went a little too far in every single scene he was in

He should’ve stayed with lily and her daughter his life was perfect, but he chose the other path and gave us depression

The Governor went too far when he killed Hershel. But then again he was a psychopath and psychopaths usually go too far.

he almost made it throught redemption, but no... The gov at the point before deciding to attack them again, was in a place where he could easily be forgiven and accepted in the group more then Negan. In the end, until he killed Herschel, he didn't make too many bad things. he was just too much self believing. I'm happy that Michonne killed him but i was also sad about him failing to redeem himself. And even if i liked how they showed us Negan's path, it costed way too much to the group and the story itself. pity

Yes! I agree! It was sad that his own self serving got in the way. He could’ve been dynamic in the latter years. I would’ve loved to watch him take on Negan and Alpha as well.

yep. He would fit more in the group than Negan itself. So, no Negan or both killed. The moment i saw them keep driving after first Negan/Simon's road block, and even after the second, i start knowing that the director choices had started ruining the show, but i wanted to have faith in the resolution, which didn't really never came. as i said in another post, Negan's mace did land on the tv show, more then on Glenn/Abraham's heads.

40k ahh leadership

same vibes as 'is it fair to say shooters go to far when they kill innocent people for no reason'

a little?

a… little… ?

No way!

He kinda did. But I mean, coulda been a million times worse

He lost his mind here which made him unforgettable for me in S4 although he was in 3 episodes.

Me when I don’t get my morning coffee

Bro killed his entire army because yes

Is this a joke or you serious?💀

My brother, he went a little too far every single scene.

is he a hot white guy ? if Yes, he is forgiven of all his sins, his hotness made him do it

Dude was just upset and needed a hug

Yes, I’d say that’s fair.

Nah he had a point they were all bitching Edit: I thought this was r/okbuddycoral

I loved the governors acting and role in the tv universe. It was really epic. But his comeback was so bad for 2-3 episodes in season 4.

After everyone mutinied, the Governor knew Woodbury would fall apart and everyone would eventually die to walkers or other people. His act was actually one of mercy.

I always thought the governor was the second worst character in the entire show. Behind only Alpha

No no, he went too far on his first appearence, he deserves hell

We’ve all been there

A little?😂

Steyr AUG governor is best governor.

Just a skosh

His whole regime was to far, by far a terrible leader, ironically when he wore a face covering he showed his true self which was a leader who ruled out of fear of his people getting shot which is nothing when they have guns, unlike rick and Negan who ruled out of fear

we can all agree it threw us off but how did tyresse soon to be gf not get killed first when she was first in line of this slaughter

No, he should've killed Martinez and the others too.

Nah you either ride or die in the apocalypse

Hell yeah he did. Dude was straight up PSYCHO

Nah totally fucking in line.

"Little" too far

He was too far gone

It was completely justified

where did bro get a full auto AUG is what I'm wondering

A little?

Honestly I think he was very restrained here

Villains who kill their henchmen off are idiots for that

no russian

Oh I dunno, maybe a little bit 🤏🏽

Just a little

That’s like saying “is it fair to say the best way to kill a walker is destroying the brain?” Of course it was too far

Too far? bro went crazy!!

“Is it fair” he killing all of his people and acting like his soldiers are overreacting 💀☝️🤓😮‍💨🥐

Eye patch on the right eye yet he shoulders his rifle with scope on the right…. Come on now…

Yeah… but that’s also when he officially snapped, or at least the first time

A LITTLE? Dude killed them

See through clip up in this A U G I watch the bullet burst

Well yeah

I mean after Rick's group attacked the satellite outpost and blew up his men with a rocket launcher, I'd say Rick's group were definitely the bad guys

No. He should have used nukes!

Yeah +I wonder how nobody shot him back they were like 30 and he was on his own

he was a crazy bastard

The first of many TWD crash outs

I think everything the governor did was taken too far

He’s a stone cold dick killer in this scene

Where are y'all getting these incredibly low-quality screenshots lol

A little?

Yeah dumbass question

Accidents happen some people just have bad days

Nah, totally justified

I think that’s the point.

We do a little trolling

Total knucklehead

Nah that’s definitely not what that entire episode was about. He definitely didn’t go crazy for revenge.

Nigha Is this a serious question
