The Walking Dead Cast and Crew Excited to Cast Shiva and Jesus

[finlay]

It's The walking Dead not game of thrones

I am actually looking forward to Shiva. Hopefully all of the casual viewers will say the show has jumped the shark and stop watching.

I want Shiva - my favorite GN character. I can't see anyone playing Ezekial other than Samuel L. Jackson. If they can't give me Samuel L., please, give me a real tiger, not a CGI one.

Trained tigers are used in movies so I don't believe it's necessary to use a CGI one. Real tigers were used in scenes from Gladiator and Life of Pi with appropriate precautions and nobody was harmed. If Shiva is shown primarily feasting on walkers or in controlled shots, using a real tiger shouldn't be a problem. They could certainly film a real tiger and digitally insert her into scenes.

Casting a tiger would be too much money for them as they love an extensive cast full of useless characters and plenty of red shirts a season and tigers need their money, too.

I'm afraid if they bring Shiva would be viewed by non-comic readers as a jump the shark moment. Though I would LOVE to see it as a comic reader, I'm just worried from a fan aspect losing viewers over something like this. Other than that, bring on PAUL MONROE!!!! One of my all time favorites!!!

[Dazed And Kwam-fused]

Not everything translates as beautifully from comic to TV so I hope they leave Shiva out and make Ezekiel a member of Alexandria who is eccentric or something.

The Kingdom is completely campy and deserves to remain in the comic only. I'm pretty sure people would have better, more realistic things to do than to play pretend knights of the round table.

But Paul Monroe, I am excited for and hopefully they keep him gay.

Tigers don't eat rotten meat

They might not in real life but this show is far from real life. I was just stating a fact from the comics that Shiva eats walkers.

And please don't 'remix' their characters show writers. Ezekiel will have to be changed because of his stuff with Michonne, but Sasha would be a good back-up for that stuff.

I am just waiting to see the religious outcry against Jesus.

The dog from Internment did not eat the corpse. It just sniffed at it and ran away. Dogs won't eat anything that's rotten. Neither will tigers and, unlike dogs, tigers cannot be tamed or domesticated. Trying to keep a tiger as a pet in any post-apocalyptic setting would only result in the people attempting it becoming a meal for the tiger.

Shiva would make a lot more sense as a wolf. Wolves can be tamed - which is how we got dogs in the first place.

You do realize there are people that actually have Tigers as pets lol

Not sure who shiva is. But I heard about Jesus..he's apparently a badass. I wouldn't mind having him around..hopefully they still call him Jesus
