— emily✨?[HIXTAPE] (@emillaya_) February 26, 2018

Nice to see Chandler Riggs with BOTH eyes on #TalkingDead, but bummed to see him leave the show.

He should've NEVER been written out of the show. DO YOU HEAR ME, SCOTT GIMPLE???

Now leave me to my Carl-less sorrow. #TheWalkingDead pic.twitter.com/1NReUzbKqb

im very highly pissed off and sad that Carl Grimes is Dead! #TheWalkingDead RIP CARL GRIMES

— kelsey faulkner (@kxlseyfalk) February 26, 2018

I'm not even sad, I'm just pissed off. Carl deserved better in every way, especially at the end. His parents not with him? His goodbyes cut between scenes from the Kingdom? Ugh. So not right. Can we just retcon this whole season and start over? #TheWalkingDead

— Do I have to? (@applegrassy) February 26, 2018

There was literally no reason for Carl to die. It was purely for shock factor and that is a sign of terrible writing. #TheWalkingDead just gave a big "F*** You" to the comic, fans of the comic, @RobertKirkman , and @chandlerriggs himself.

When you're already pissed at #TheWalkingDead for killing Shiva then they decide to kill Carl in the same season. pic.twitter.com/LJS7GRnu88

The Glad

Everybody’s like:
The last five years: “I wish Carl would die already.”
Tonight: “I can’t believe they killed Carl! #TheWalkingDead

Me hearing about Carl’s death on #TheWalkingDead ... I’m glad I stopped watching this show after Negan arrived. Not worth the time getting wrapped up in characters when they just kill off everybody. ??‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/qHUQzV4b46
