are you sure you have been watching this show? rick has become a danger to himself becuz of a mental breakdown twice in this show. including this past sunday when he pointed a gun at Deanna which resulted in him getting knocked out. Rick has checked out of reality multiple times man. He was picking up a disconnected phone in the jail hearing shane talking ish to him....i'm surprised, we havent had someone have a complete mental break. like, realistically, that should happen. Not everyone is prepared to cope with the post apocalypse. Rick sorta had one after his wife. and sasha sorta has one now, but they arent deep enough. they were really just more depressed than anything else. True breaks are when you lose track of reality and become a danger to yourself and others. And they happen extremely often in real life. I'm shocked we havent seen someone go crazy. No one has tried to kill themselves, not directly, indirectly by being stupid (sasha and tyrese running into hoards). No anxiety attacks. No funny guys, like literally nobody has a sense of humor? in the worst possible conditions the sense of humor helps, and it doesnt go away, you cannot control how your mind relates to situations. Like there isn't really just one person in the group that every single person likes, that just lightens the mood when they come on the scene. Nobody has even died that has done that. The writers just never created that kind of character. But he exists in real life. In almost every single group, you'll find the person that keeps everyone together, that everyone can relate to, and likes. Like even in downtime theres no jokes being cracked. Even satirical ones. Rick only really has a level relationship with carol and daryl, everyone else, he interacts with them like he's in charge. I'm a legit gladiator and I have a sense of humor bruh. Hell, 5 seasons passed before we even saw a gay dude...in Atlanta of all places.
beth tried to kill herself in season 2. u urself gave 2 examples of people indirectly trying to kill themselves. Abraham just had an anxiety attack 2 or 3 episodes ago. Merle had a sense of humor but not the sense ur looking for nor was he in the group. and i dont think u can compare the funny guy in a group at starbucks to the world the just ended and you're killing what used to be people EVERY DAY trying to survive but theres a guy still cracking one-liners? It sounds like u expect Glenn to say "i guess, that walker was the bomb" when Deanna's son died in the warehouse. I don't get what you're looking for. Jokes in a post-apocalyptic world while on the run for your life? .
And rick IS in charge! when he did the democracy nd let everyones opinion matter, everything went wrong. now hes back as the leader... like he should be. and how can u even say hes only level with daryl and carol. he exiled carol. then asked her to come back. mishone (sp?) overrules A LOT of ricks decisions especially now. Rick confides in Glenn and values his opinion, evident by rick NOT doing a hostile takerover when Glenn said "we ARE them now Rick. we dont need to do that"
