Why The Walking Dead Fans Think This Villain Was The Worst Part Of The Show – Looper

To kick off the discussion of the Governor, u/man-who-says-E wrote, "At the point he was introduced, it felt too soon for a villain of his level. He was just pure psychotic." They went on to say that they found the character himself to not be very interesting and cited the Governor's relationship with Rick's ally Andrea (Laurie Holden) as a particularly boring storyline. They concluded by saying, "by the time he was gone, it wasn't a 'yes! He's gone' moment, it was more of a 'thank Christ maybe this shows gonna get interesting again.'"

The feeling that the Governor was simply too over-the-top was shared by several other commenters. User u/Radiant_Solid7 wrote, "he was unrealistically evil just blowing dudes away...like come on."

User u/ladyrocky_33 didn't mind the Governor's wild villainous antics, but still found him to be "very flat and kinda clich." While they didn't specify if they agreed that he was the worst part of the whole series, they did say, "I generally skip episodes with him in them."

Several users couldn't help but compare him to Negan, who they found similarly evil but way more compelling. User u/wardyman2 noted, "[Negan] was so much better as he was psycho and a good villain, [the Governor] was just trying too hard."

Despite the anti-Governor sentiments in the thread, the character did have more than a few defenders.
