Madison is no Clint Eastwood
Why are they trying to make the character tough? I don't buy it.
shareEverything Madison does is for protection of her kids. Sometimes she can behave irrationally, if she thinks that her actions can benefit her kids' survival. Like this last decision to join the search party - she did it mostly to get closer to Troy cause she identified him as a potential threat to her family. She's in a mama cat mode, capable of attacking even dogs to protect her young.
shareThat said I think the show is trying to big up the wrong character. Madison after all was just a teacher, right???
Not a member of the SAS, which it looks like she is sometimes.
Several people wrote here that Madison has a shady past and that she was possibly a member of a street gang. I don't know where they get this information from, but it would explain her easy transition from a teacher to a zombie killer.
shareMaybe, but still I prefer a more realistic hero...
shareNah, I don't buy that she is a former gang thug.
Some folks have postulated that she will later become "Alpha" from the comic series of TWD. Maybe. I could actually see it.
Yes she is Alpha
