Now-Deleted Promo Photo Spoils a Character's Death in TWD Finale
In anticipation of The Walking Dead big finale, AMC released a bunch of promo photos resulting in two potentially huge spoilers, one of which was not deliberate.
The Walking Dead finale is airing this Sunday, November 20th, and the fans are actively speculating about which characters will be able to survive beyond the show and which will die. AMC might have just spoiled the death of one of the characters, fans noticed.
The network has released more than 30 teaser photos of the finale, and three of them are more interesting than others in potentially revealing the plot twists of the final episode.
Two of the photos show Judith Grimes in fairly good condition walking away from what earlier seemed to be her deathbed. It is a surprising development since at the end of episode 23 Judith was seriously injured and Daryl ran to find a doctor for her.
On the other hand, it could be AMC's attempt to confuse the audience. The photos might just show that the girl is fever-dreaming and has an out-of-body experience, which would not be the first in The Walking Dead.
This theory is also confirmed by a small amount of blood on her clothes. So to the dismay of many fans, it remains unknown whether Judith will survive her injury.
The most provocative photo was later deleted from the official site, which makes it even more interesting. At first glance, the photo shows Maggie, Carol, and Princess in the middle of a shootout with other characters in the background. However, meticulous fans zoomed in on the bodies lying around and found that one of them belonged to Luke, who returned to the show merely two episodes ago.
It has become a shocking revelation for the fans and another reason to criticize AMC already notorious for involuntary spoilers.
"Can't believe they allowed this to be released, like what the hell else they gonna spoil," one commenter wrote. "Pretty sure they'll release the transcript for the episode on Friday," another fan replied ironically.
This reaction is natural, considering how AMC ruined The Walking Dead finale for the show's long-term fans with the announcements of the spinoffs ahead of the actual show ending. Knowing that major characters like Negan, Maggie, and Daryl will definitely make it to take part in their own shows took a lot of the anticipation out of the finale.
