But while Dwight has become more of an asset for Rick and Team Family, Daryl has become the opposite.
As soon as the Saviors arrived, Daryl become less of a clear protagonist, and his parallels with Dwight have remained strong since their first encounter.
He’s quickly becoming the good guys’ biggest liability by actively causing harm and chaos, which probably isn’t what fans want to see with this character.
It’s perhaps easy to shrug that kind of speculation off, but less so when one considers how unfortunately long it’s been since The Walking Dead has given Daryl some kind of big, heroic arc to latch onto to keep those riot-themed chants going.
