One of her last major moments of badassery came in Season 6 whenever she and Maggie went into beast mode while being held captive by Alicia Witt’s Paula and other Saviors.
Carol has been one of The Walking Dead’s luckiest protagonists, in that she hasn’t had much to deal with as far as Negan and his henchmen go.
(She actually had more trouble with one of The Kingdom’s own soldiers than any legitimate outside threats.)
But the first looks at Season 8 have already given us a more confidence-driven Carol, complete with large gun, so here’s hoping she puts many more villains on ice as the season goes on.
