So if there’s one main reason Eugene should survive to see Season 9, it’s to bring his two-dimensional counterpart’s stories to TV audiences.
Obviously, The Walking Dead’s creative team has found multitudes of ways to port comic moments and stories onto the TV characters, but Eugene is the only right call for the two plots I’m thinking about.
To be at my most frank, I really want Eugene to survive on the TV show so that he can get to experience whatever versions of the character’s comic book arcs get adapted for live-action.
One of them involves a search for outside communication, which may have been teased in a recent episode, and the other specifically involves Rosita, though with far less hatred than what the small screen version is currently projecting.
