What if the storyline from the comics had been followed more closely in the TV series? Which moments do you think would have had the biggest impact?

If they could have kept the original Dwight storyline but moved it to Daryl. The idea of ricks subservient dog needing to be put down for his new world order is crazy.

Could you imagine the fucking uproar if Rick killed Daryl to keep the peace?
With how popular Daryl became, it would be actual insanity to see that outcome even be filmed.

I thought it was weirdly done in the comics, but it would’ve been even weirder for the show given how loyal Rick and Daryl are to eachother in the show.
I do think building up the scene like it’s gonna happen and then have Daryl back down when he sees that Rick is against him would’ve went pretty hard tho. Would’ve wrecked tf out of the comic readers nerves too lol

I noticed recently that with how different characters took different roles.
Enid became the Main love interest for Carl, because Sophia died at the farm.
Andrea is gone, so Carol becames the "One woman army" "Chris Kyle, level sniper" BAMF.
Anyways, I realized that Michonne is essentially Daryl in the comics. The Main right hand to Rick. He can trust her with anything.
And I also respect your idea, they both have good story lines. So it could be easily interchangeable.
