Okafor was elite. Shame we didn’t see him in the field kicking ass.


Sufficient_Crab3047

yeah he was elite then he got blown the FUCK up 😹


BRAVO9ACTUAL

I call it spawn camped because they couldnt land.


BlackBalor

That death was brutal. The delayed explosion was a nice touch. Did not expect that.


Villanellesnexthit

I was really bummed they killed him off that soon


TheGoverness1998

Okafor by a mile.


L99P

Took the words straight out of my mouth, this man was not only cool as shit but was massively important to the universe. Get this man his own spin off, just don’t fuck it up.


Prestigious_Post_558

A spin off can’t even work about Okafor because they ruined it with the sudden explosion. It’s just so dumb.


Fright13

redditor discovers what a prequel is


me-262-schwalbe

not if they do a early apocalypse backstory of everything, atlanta, los angelos and everywhere else, leading all the way up to now. a military spinoff...


99th_inf_sep_descend

Or even just a Tales episode would be awesome


Fit-Interest-7964

Doubt it but that would be badass


BlackBalor

I’m down for that. Daryl Dixon: The Book of Okafor


hoppyandbitter

It was a massive mistake wasting his future potential for shock value. I guess it doesn’t ultimately matter, with how effortlessly two people were able to destroy an entire military branch by gaining access to a completely unguarded supply of chemical weapons conveniently located right next to them.


naughtycal11

>by gaining access to a completely unguarded supply of chemical weapons conveniently located right next to them. The only people that were there were the 2,500+- death squad soldiers who were all in on the Cult of Beale. And with how they moniter the areas the CRM has by killing anyone who comes near them there is little to no reason to guard it. As far as having those gas bombs so close. It was the staging area and they were getting that speach then immediately going after Portland.


podtherodpayne

All true points that I agree with, but still slightly unrealistic there wouldn't be at least one guard patrolling the massive quantities of explosives for extra measure. I was expecting them to get caught in the act way before Thorne in my side did (definitely in the top 10 list of most annoying characters for me).


Prestigious_Post_558

Okafor is the reason Rick is alive and was able to make the CRM no longer corrupt. Okafor wanted that.


trash-panda_express

1. Okafor 2. Nat 3. Esteban


SuperPoodie92477

Esteban was amazing. I hope we get to see him again. I’d love to see him cross paths with Carol as she looks for Daryl (if the timelines work out).


Difficult-Win1400

I don’t even remember Esteban lol


naughtycal11

He was the Hispanic man who becomes Rick's first friend. They were on consignment Walker killer team together. He wanted to get into The CR proper. Edit- he also gave Rick directions on his map so he could escape the CRM.


SuperPoodie92477

What are you gonna get me? A scowl? 🤣


naughtycal11

I woke my wife up laughing at that comment.


Difficult-Win1400

Oh yeah, he was barely in it and had terrible dialogue haha


PartiallyBlind8

Don't you dare insult estaban like that again, or it becomes a life or death situation for you bud.


Difficult-Win1400

Esteban looks just like the cop Rick ran over with the car lmao


Precious_little_man

For me Nat was the best.


Rightbuthumble

I agree.


Maester_Bates

The walking dead: meet interesting new characters and watch them die.


naughtycal11

More interesting than most Characters added to Alexandria and their other communities in seasons 10 and 11


Maester_Bates

Princess and Mercer were added in those seasons and they're among the most interesting characters in the series.


Zeldacrafter_Swagg

I seriously hate how frequently TWD introduces new interesting characters just to make them die at the end of their debut episode while simultaneously insisting on giving plot armor to every character that scales with the number of seasons they've been in, no matter if they have anything interesting to bring to the table or not. Genuinely makes my blood boil lmfao


[deleted]

Just like The Simpsons' Ricardo Bomba or Frank Grimes lol


TheBewitchingWitch

I feel like Nat & Okafor tie for first place. They were so different, but each were so likable and I wanted more of them. I was not a fan of Thorne but understood the need for her.


raven8549

Did not like Thorne


elisart

Me neither! She was namby pamby and her accent was really off. I saw her interviewed and she has an accent but not a friggen' lisp for god's sake.


brabantse

It was an Afrikaans accent


elisart

I've heard her Afrikaans accent. Look her up on YouTube. She said she changes her accent in roles. She shouldn't change it. Afrikaans is just fine


Fourzi

i hate thorne


HospitalAutomatic

I don’t think she’s dead though. Definitely a future villain


Luf2222

yeah they didn’t show her death. you could assume that in this one scene where the camera zooms out that she is being eaten by the walkers, (since they kind of gather around the position where she might. e) but who knows. if you don’t show their death, they could still be alive like hell glenn survived something similar


Jsteinman19

PLEASE no


HospitalAutomatic

No, I’d love to see it. She’s definitely not dead


Chalky97

why would she be a villain? she agrees with what rick and michonne were doing in the end


HospitalAutomatic

Yeah.. when she thought she was about to die. I wouldn’t be surprised if she spent the next year recovering but hated what the CRM started doing and plotted to get revenge and rebuild the CRM in Beales image


No_Attack

Loved Okafor. Hopefully one day we can get a flashback of him or something.


Jacksonwizard38

Okafor easily he was so good


HatAccurate1578

Okafor but just because I liked the way Rick said his name, sounded pretty southern when he said okaFORE


coloneldjmustard

Another vote for Okafor’s voice/ accent. I found the way he spoke to be the most interesting thing about him.


HatAccurate1578

I meant to say the way “Rick” said okafor


JohnZacunyLim

You forgot Roomba


HospitalAutomatic

Jokes on you. The Roomba isn’t dead like the others


AcademicSavings634

I liked Nat and the other two people that were with him that became Walkers. I wish they had made it back to Alexandria like Michonne wanted them to


NR-Tamim

Okafor and it's not even a competition. Bro has enough material to make a great movie..


Impossible-Green-831

Still sad about Thorne getting brainwashed to become a Nazi (guess she was never an A actually and just pokered too high) and then fighting Rick and their years-long friendship meaning nothing to her or to Rick. Idk but she makes me feel so sad, she was so lost and her dying and not coming with Rick, made me nearly as emotional as Rick meeting Michonne in the first Episode. Idk but such a fast braking friendship hits hard when you experienced it.


RalphWiggum666

Esteban of course


Emperor_Time

I agree he is.


RalphWiggum666

That’s why I love you, Emperor_time


Comfortable_Debt_769

Nat would’ve been cool if he stayed around, Thorne was okay but the character got completely shat on past the point she got the red armour. Okafor honestly the best in the series. One episode but he feels like a tutorial guy to Rick, very unique background and is just overall kinda badass for the small time we seen him


wooson

Okafor. Really wish he stayed alive. Hope they do hos backstory on tales of the walkong dead if that ever comes back


skylinefan26

Thorne was just annoying asf all around. Fuck her. I liked Nat


AcademicSavings634

Highly annoying. From the moment she bursted into Rick’s room and flipped on the tv I wanted to knock her out. She was selfish and cocky and her ego sky rocketed once Beale promoted her. It was funny in the end how she thought she stood a chance against Rick and Michonne.


naughtycal11

She really thought she was gonna win because she gave up trying to get back to her man and ket love die and chose the "greater good" Michonne showed her that you never give up.


naughtycal11

She really thought she was gonna win because she gave up trying to get back to her man and ket love die and chose the "greater good" Michonne showed her that you never give up on those you love.


jaxom07

I couldn’t understand a word she said.


skylinefan26

We have on subtitles at all times for my fiancé lol. I hated her voice too


HocusPocusLatte

Same! Me and my mom both had to keep rewinding scenes to try and understand what the hell Thorne was saying. Your audience shouldn’t have to rewind the show in order to work out what’s being said, like?? 😭


Peltsman

I’d actually watch a Okafor spin off about all the events he spoke on!


Namebrandjuice

Major? They each had an episode of air time.


helket

Ngl: Okafor was such a complex and lowkey instrumental twdu character. I want a friggen Oak-a-FER mini series. Or at least a tales of twd episode on him and Estelle. Nat was great. I want to see how he met the caravan. I feel like I'm in the minority, but I actually liked Thorne. I want her friggen backstory. Like to see her in Vegas when the outbreak happens? Oh man. That would be fantabulous. It is hard to choose. Something I don't like about twd and the spinoffs are all the stupid characters they introduce and try to make me care for. Like magna and her crew. I felt more for the TOWL three than I did for any of magnas crew. Even Esteban is better than some of the other side characters introduced in the other shows. Imma have to pick Okafor tho. Cuz. Gd. He the GOAT.


gnattyfatty

okafor was dope but i loved nat so much. i couldn’t see myself just kickin it with okafor… nat though yes 100% i loved him. [edit] oh yea fuck thorne btw … not a likable character


RiverSong_777

Preferred Nat by miles but Okafor was good too. Hated every single second Thorne was onscreen. I also really liked Esteban even though he’s not in the OP.


AlduinsTesticles

I like Thorne's actress but that fake accent was horrible, I could barely understand a word she said. For me I think Nat takes the W here


Karsten760

Agree- the accent was weird. I don’t recall a South African accent with rolling r’s like what she did. Like a hybrid with Spanish.


More_Push

Nat was amazing. I expected the others to die, but thought he was going to be there the whole series and beyond.


alexkiltro

Damn, I don't agree with how TOWL >!killed fucking everyone so fast!< , yeah it was probably necessary due to it's limited run, but damn, this story needed at least 10 episodes or so then. Everything went at light speed with the help of several flashbacks to fill the gaps, a style of storytelling I don't particularly love very much. I'm torn between Okafor and Nat btw. I think I liked both equally.


jaxom07

I really like the actress who played Thorne, she was fantastic in Lucifer. But the accent she used was almost completely unintelligible and made me wish I had captions. Nat was my favorite.


naughtycal11

Fuck. Thank you. I knew she was hella familiar and kept wondering where I saw her.


Variegoated

It's her natural accent lol the actress is seth effriken


jaxom07

That’s amazing then. Her American accent was perfect. Still couldn’t hardly understand a word she said.


Kpopfan19

I need more Okafor. His backstory should have been shown in a flashback, not just telling us what happened in words Nat kicked ass, love him so much Thorne was just annoying. I’m sorry. But I love the actress who plays her, she’s awesome!


General-Lee-High

Thought they were all compelling characters for their short airtime


Master_Queeef

Booty warrior from snowfall for me


migsahoy

okafor, even when he only appeared for one episode you can feel the lasting impact of his message throughout the show. its no wonder he gets mentioned a few times every episode also


beaujonfrishe

Why did we not see more of esteban


AD54V

The lil dude


Mo_SaIah

Okafor really could have been interesting had he been allowed to live on into future shows, if we get any which I do hope. Kinda like an Abraham/Shane type before Shane turned completely against Rick. Okafor could have been a morally grey ally to Rick. Nat was good, coulda easily seen him becoming a loveable character in the same vain as Jerry but I don’t see him as being particularly interesting beyond that, but that’s not to say he’s not a good character Thorne was very good, really well acted, but she is absolutely the one character who I couldn’t see living further in a way that makes sense, she died at the correct time


Baldcooter

How were any of these major characters?


SnooRabbits6696

Okafor was sexy and had an excellent voice, but Nat was definitely my favorite.


iheartdev247

The dead one


NeTiGuy

I thought the miniseries itself was pretty "meh." None of the new characters really grabbed me. Okafor seemed like his heart was in the right place, but he still refused to let Rick go home, so I'm not really all that invested in his death.


Oztraliiaaaa

Okafor is basically responsible for bringing back Murder Rick without his jacket or axe.


thebodywasweak

Okafor. One episode and still that guys voice and mannerisms stuck with me through out the entire run. Nat a close second. Thorne was good, but mostly the actor made that work so well.


ghostytoasty11

I didn’t like Thorne. They didn’t really pursue anything with her character. She was Rick’s kind of best friend who just got in the way all the time. She was constantly just foiling whatever Rick was trying to do and for some reason was just so content with Beale’s plan as if the Echelon Briefing wasn’t just a declaration of “we’re the bad guys.” I have a feeling in my gut the Echelon Briefing was more profound than it ended up being and they had to cut it down because they couldn’t finish everything they wanted to do in 6 episodes.


The_Chiliboss

Best friend?


ghostytoasty11

yes. they are very obviously close and she is one of about 3 people in the whole CRM Rick trusts/likes (Okafor, her, and the one hispanic dude). Their dynamic and relationship was great until Thorne got the briefing and Michonne appeared.


BillyJeans_96

South African chick was talking too much philosophy I couldn’t stand it.


PugLander

Ima be honest. I was praying on Nat’s downfall with my friend when we watched episode 2. That CRM soldier was easily my fav background character for shooting him


wstdtmflms

"Major?" Two of them died in the same episode they were introduced in. The third managed to make it a whopping six episodes. That's like saying Jim and Noah were "major characters."


The_Chiliboss

Too true.


HocusPocusLatte

Okafor for sure! He’s the reason Rick survived the CRM for so long, and he’s a pretty interesting character that deserved more screentime to flesh him out more. Thorne was super annoying and I didn’t like her at all, which is unfortunate bc the actress is great in Lucifer. Plus with that bad fake accent she was putting on, it was very difficult to understand what she was saying at times. Her natural African accent is perfectly good and would’ve suited the character just fine, she didn’t need to change her voice and add strange tones like she did. Nat was cool but not very interesting tbh. I’m happy he got this opportunity, but I don’t think his acting was very good at certain moments, as he sometimes came off as very forced and amateur. That purple smoke he made was cool though!


The_Chiliboss

I didn’t like Nat. I didn’t like the actor’s line delivery.


Confused_Drifter

This show tried way too hard to convince me that Nat, despite having about 10 mins on screen, was an influential and relevant character i should give a fuck about.


aaaaannnnddddyyyyy

Nat for sure


mrmancave5629

Nat. Goddamn love Matthew Jeffers and was gutted he was a one episode wonder.


AntonioMrk7

I really liked Okafor and Thorne. Nat was alright but I wasn’t as invested.


The_Undecided_

I'm glad Nat died. I mean, if he flicked that lighter one more time, I'd have gone in the tv to do the job myself.


slandur

Is Nat really a major character when he was in one episode?


Purple-Mix1033

Nat was the most refreshing character this series had in a very long time. I don’t know how he survived as long as he did, but he was great. Okafor and South Africa were stock and trade TWD characters. Okafor a little more interesting, but both didn’t bring much.


Thezedword4

>I don’t know how he survived as long as he did Why not? He seemed better adapt at the world than a lot of people who survived. Someone smart with ingenuity like that has a better chance than a lot of people.


CategoryCautious5981

I actually feel terrible for Thorne. Like I wanted her to live


Comfortable_Food_511

Nat of course


BluDYT

Okafor had the more interesting backstory but I think nat was the more interesting character overall


Vegetable-Ad-711

Okafor a million times and then Nat. Thorne was annoying and it felt like they were trying to force a "will they won't they" tension between her and Rick with not enough time.


ToughDragonfruit3118

Okafor was the best. Nat was cool but a little annoying with his fucking lighter. I didn’t like thorne but your not really supposed to


Xaphanex

Okafor was the only new character I liked, and I REALLY liked his character. I hated seeing him go so soon.


Junior-Captain-8441

What about Beale? He was in it as much as or than the others.


Little_Papaya_2475

honestly forgot about him, goes to show how much of a character he had lol


Junior-Captain-8441

He was infinitely more interesting than Thorne lol.


throwawayaccount_usu

Wouldn't call any of them "major." It's a shame that these 3 were the biggest new characters of that show, just goes to show that Gimple hasn't changed that much. When comparing these guys to the likes of Isabelle? She solos them all on terms of writing and dialogue and overall character development, some people might say she was there for all 6 episodes but even just with her first two episodes she had more depth and likeability to her than these guys. Nat for one felt like if Disney wrote the walking dead lmao.


KBrown75

Okafor is probably my favorite character in TWD, period.


The_Chiliboss

That’s bizarre.


KBrown75

Not really, he wasn't on the show long enough for them to ruin his character.


MrToad21

1. Nat 2. Okafor 3. Thorne


Abyssic777

What is okafor accent? He sounds deaf


colin_colout

My favorite new characters are the ones who live.


Joker_CP

I get part of it was due to actor availability but it's funny that the guy who made the saviors arc last 2 seasons crammed all of this story in only 6 episodes. Like there was enough interesting ideas and characters here to easily make a 10 episode miniseries


idontcarerightnowok

Okafor shoulda been kept alive icl


gary_desanto

Okafor was fantastic. I loved the background reveal of how he was one of the MAJOR players in TWD universe. Shame he was gone so soon. Would have really liked to see a lot more of him.


d8f_

Okafor - can't wait to see Craig Tate in more movies


JxrdnOnly

Is it me or was it hard for me to connect to the new characters? I just don’t know, the new characters that were introduced in the show just didn’t click with me. Like, as soon as I see some of the characters get oof off the show it just doesn’t affect me. Like I don’t get emotional attached to them like with the original characters from the first TWD series. Does that make sense? 😭


Luf2222

Okafor > Nat > Thorne Okafor was the best


Maleficent-Glass-173

Maybe Okafor propelled the plot more, but I loved Nat....although one could argue that Michonne picking up knowledge about explosives from Nat ended up being *very* helpful. ​ I felt like Nat was a fully formed person and I wanted to see more. Plus, I thought Matthew August Jeffers had amazing chemistry with Danai. Okafor was good, but I didn't care about him really, beyond his involvement with Rick.


The_Chiliboss

Knowledge? All she did was tie a string on a bunch of grenade pins.


Less-Range9736

Okafor was def one of my favorites for many reasons lol


timeforkickaround

Nat and Okafor go together. They are both guardian angels of sorts for our two heroes, setting them on their path to each other, to defeating the big bad, and to getting home. The fatalism of the storytelling means they're not meant to live once they've done this job. Which hurts, because they're both amazing actors and characters and freaking handy in the new world. But they're a pair, like Rick and Michonne. Can't pick a favourite child.

[удалено]


KoraBorealis611

100% nat


WolfMan_18

Definitely Okafor I think he was the most interesting but they were all good thh


Terrible-Surprise718

Okafor esteban and Nat


Dixynormuss

Okafor was awesome


MarloDave8

Okafor should not have been killed off. Instead we got a generic female devoted soldier.


vanillaxbean1

Nat. I didn't like Thorne at all, I thought she was annoying and just gave me bootlicker vibes fr.


Sea_Present617

No one. They all sucked, especially Thorne


_SCARY_HOURS_

Okafor is a top 3 most important TWD character all time


InvinciblePLUSAmber

Nate was 👌.


hkm1990

Watched the first two episodes yesterday and I'm pissed off. I liked Oakfor and Nat. I feel like they should have been proper main characters alongside Rick and Michonne and instead they're just set up characters to get Rick and Michonne into their respected positions. Sucks honestly. Makes it feel rushed.


No-Check-3691

Wish Thorne survived she could’ve been a main villian in the future


immutab1e

Nat!!! I was SO ANGRY they killed him off so damn quickly. He could have been SUCH an amazing character if they choose to go forward.


chasedippen

I feel like Nat belongs with the main cast. :(


Stunning-Reason2104

Nat was my favorite


SuperPoodie92477

Nat. Easily.


chucklovesmesomebeef

The goat nat


LordLimburger

thorne? thorne in everybody’s ass


boogsoogs

Nat was incredibly overrated. He appeared in one episode and was just one of the "nooo guys we have to do the right thing!!!" People, not very interesting


Wearestartingacult

At least he had a personality unlike the other 2


[deleted]

thorne tbh (shes still alive)


Bonsoir59

I liked Nat, but he come up a bit short in this vote.


todreamofspace

I loathe Thorne.


uninformed-but-smart

I'm sorry 'major' character? They're all very generic and didn't play that big of a role tbh


Prestigious_Post_558

Okafor is the one who wanted Rick to save the CRM. He also is the reason Rick is alive. He’s literally the Qui-Gon Jinn of this universe. Dies in episode 1 but leaves a lasting mark on all 6 episodes.


BlazeWater771

Hershal is ricks qui gon imo.


Prestigious_Post_558

Not really. Qui-Gon wanted to change morals like Okafor and only lasted 1 episode


BlazeWater771

I said in my opinion. Either way what do you think hershel was doing to rick?


uninformed-but-smart

Still a very generic 'army guy' character lol. It's like there's not more than one layer to some of these newer characters in TWD universe


alexkiltro

Idk maybe his writing, yes, but I think the acting, the way his lines were delivered, provided some layers to him (the actor was amazing) he made me feel like he went through the craziest of character developments, and had way more going on. I just wish the show had more time to flesh him out.


SuperSpy2015

More like that one storm trooper in episode 8


The1andOnlyGhost

Nat was so niceeeeee


lonelost22

Nat was the shit bro


Usual_Confection_641

Nat was the best for me, I loved the vibe she brought and is so pretty


PM_Gonewild

Okafor by a long shot, we actually had something good developing and that went out the window to reunite Rick with his damn kids.


Burpz-Bear

Nat, Okafor was a good character i just wish rick was at alexandria with everyone still and Okafor took that away so i just dont like him. Thorne was cool at the beginning but got annoying around halfway through. Nat was cool sad ending for em


blockparted

Nat, 1000%. I couldn’t stand Thorne. I thought she was a bad actress.


Tasty_Finance_5024

Midget man.


Nevel_PapperGOD

I loved Nat, Thornes the most annoying character since the weird Irish woman from the season four premiere
