Rick and Michonne still look so ridiculous as a couple

I'm sorry but anytime they have an intimate moment it looks and feels so awkward, they just don't belong together. I've never seen two people so wrong for each other in a show.

Rick and Sasha would have made a better couple, Rick and Andrea would have been the idea couple, as it was in the comics but for some reason they killed her off. Then it was as if they just forced Rick and Michonne together cause Rick needed a love interest and Michonne was the only option.

I'm just not a fan of Richonne, i hope they end it soon or kill Michonne off.

The relationship itself is not the real issue, IMO. Rick and Michonne sounds good enough on paper.

The real problem, and it seems to me that a lot of people can't differentiate, is that the two actors are not selling it.

There's a severe lack of chemistry between Lincoln and Gurira and it shows. It looks like they'd like to be anywhere else, doing anything else but be intimate.

You are so right. There is absolutely NO spark or fizzle, nada! It is infuriating that the writers may have pandered to some fangirls!

Again, the problem is not the decision to pair the characters. The writers, for once, are not at fault.

The problem is the lack of chemistry between the actors and, maybe, the directors that are afraid to tell them to put some fucking effort.

Right now it looks like Lincoln and Gurira dislike each other.

I wouldn't go so far as to say the actors dislike one another. The writers ARE at fault. They run the show. Gimple writes, or did write, the previous seasons eps. He was the showrunner. If he didn't want it, it would not have happened. He's a freakin' tool.

"Interracial couple agenda" "Rick likes to dig in her big nostrils" "Rick is with the ninja black girl" "I cringe every time they kiss" Gee, what are you really trying to say? She's the alpha female and he's the alpha male. Why wouldn't he be attracted to a woman who looked out for him and his son, after all they've been through? You may dislike the way the dark black woman with big nostrils looks, but I think they both have the attraction and adoration for each other that goes way deeper than appearances. Hell, I don't even think any of the characters care about anyone's looks at this point, except for Negan maybe. They do have chemistry, I just think you're so caught up on the outside, it completely turns YOU off, because this isn't the way most couples look. If you want to talk about chemistry, Rick had zero chemistry with Jessie, however I'm sure that was more acceptable for ya. Anyways, glad you all are the minority on this subject, as this is the first time I've seen such disdain for the couple. They're both great characters who've been through a lot of shit together, and despite all the shit, they choose to focus on the positive.

Rick and Michonne make perfect sense and also make a great couple. What a bunch of ugly ignorant racists ... you are all going on ignore.

[–] Mister Babadook (2701) 7 years ago

Lol yeah there it is the you are racists comment, i was waiting for it. Even though i clearly said i'd have been fine with Rick and Sasha being together, but no completely ignore that and act as if i'm racist.

Then obviously he wasn't talking about you was he? He did say "racists" as in plural...so maybe he meant the other people who left such lovely comments about her features and such...ya know like the comments I referenced.
