The Walking Dead's Most Realistic Characters, According to Fans
Who had the most real reaction to the end of the world?
With each season of The Walking Dead many characters felt somewhat exaggerated.
Fans went on Reddit to remember the characters who have stood out for their realistic response to the outbreak.
Let's have a look at the most popular suggestions.
Amy
To be honest, many characters from seasons one and two show some realism, as the show was more grounded back then.
Amy exemplifies a realistic response to the outbreak. She was super upset about her parents and kinda found solace in her sister Andrea. Amy had one of the most legit reactions and totally realistic deaths in the beginning. Zero plot armor.
Sam
Sam, Jessie's son, wasn't quite a likable kid. But Sam's responses to the challenges he faces are rooted in his vulnerability and naivety, making him an incredibly realistic character.
That's exactly how you expect a kid to react when the world goes to hell.
Eugene – The Intellectual Survivor
Eugene definitely brought a refreshing realism to the series. Eugene is an intelligent survivor who relies on his wits and knowledge to stay alive.
His realistic response stems from his adaptability and ability to leverage his intellectual prowess to outmaneuver the undead and other threats.
Eugene doesn't become a badass survivor right away. However, his arc is one of the best on the show.
Hershel
Hershel is a character who understands the importance of preserving humanity even in the face of overwhelming adversity.
He demonstrated a realistic response by assuming that the dead can be saved, that there is a cure of some kind. Hershel eventually gets to see the truth and adapts to the new reality while still keeping a hope for a better future.
Tyreese
Tyreese is a character who embodies the perfect balance between vulnerability and strength.
Tyreese's realistic response to the outbreak is evident in his emotional journey, grappling with loss and grief while still remaining a fierce protector.
His struggles and internal conflicts make him a relatable character, showing us that even the strongest individuals can be deeply affected by the horrors of the new world.
