beautifully rendered poster, but i am a bit disturbed by the imagery (chains and Zombie-like Black men). then again, I’ve never watched the show so Im not sure of the relevance.

You’re not the only one side-eyeing this for those very reasons.

there not human there dead corpses so i wouldn’t worry about the chain thing but then again yea i can understand why…. but if there was really a zombie Apocalypse, would race matter anyways ? since everyone will be working as a group to survive……. but thats my opinion tho….

????????? People, if you gonna pull the “lets ignore the nasty racist history and current present of the US” thing; and the “Imma be colorblind” nonsense, please to do us both a favor and unfriend me. Especially with regards to a show that can set itself in fucking ATLANTA and still manage to be 99.99% white. Lets just NOT go thru this, k, cause I ain’t educating not a one of you.

Actually, in the comic their race is either indeterminate:

Or one is black and one is not:

The mistreatment of race on the show is one of the reasons I don’t watch it.
I’m a huge fan of the comic, though.
And race certainly matters QUITE A FUCKING LOT in the comic.
FYI.

how can you watch the show with darryl and merle and think ask “would race matter anyways?” i mean goddamn. the first 6 episodes pretty much cemented that, yes it fucking does.

Ah thanks, I’ve been meaning to post this for a while. Truly terrifying. Thanks for the totally scarring naked version. I may not be able to sleep tonight.

"At Marvel I used to argue you can’t have a team sub-titled “Earth’s Mightiest Heroes” and then have no people of color represented. “Really? Seven billion people on the planet and you can’t find one of them that isn’t white to put on a team of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes? On Earth. On all of earth?” One editor even told me “Vision is red!” Seriously."
