This pretty much sums up how fans are feeling right now.

Just End It All

Spin off??? Oh god let it end. I still love this show, but give it a good ending and be done with it. Already have rick movies and two other shows, I’m tired of this storyline continuing. Give my peeps a proper ending 😤 pic.twitter.com/aOwmekrpPP

There’s a growing call within the fandom for AMC to end the entire Walking Dead universe along with the main series. As if the network would just let that entire cash-cow out to pasture…

There’s So Much More…

I disagree. There’s so much more the show can do. Creativity is endless.

Meanwhile, other fans only see a wide-open world of possibility, once The Walking Dead is fully done with its comic book obligations.

What About Rick?

People want the movies

With The Walking Dead ending, fans are already taking sides in the debate over whether or not the Rick Grimes movies are still relevant. Where do YOU stand?
