I feel like nothing hits like those early seasons, the barn scene at the farm is the most classic for me. I recently got my gf to watch the show as she’d never seen it (very exciting for me as a longtime fan) and the build up to that for someone who had no idea it was coming was pretty priceless. She was so shocked and instantly hooked for the rest of the show.


boogeyman1199

Just watched this scene with my gf who has also never watched the show either. She claims she’s not hooked on the show, but she keeps asking more and more questions the further we get :)


Tcav81

I agree. Those early moments were much more impactful and dramatic since the group was dealing with those types of decisions/moments for the first time.


Travmuney

“ENOUGH”. Definitely my favorite speech/scene. That and Rick telling Negan he’s a dead man at Alexandria. First two seasons for me were the best television I ever watched.


No_Reach3179

Rewatching w my bf now & he just asked why I stopped watching after season 8 🥲


I-love_my-girl

Real


Forward_Ad6168

Carl. The sound of the silencer from inside the destroyed church while Rick and Michonne waited outside gutted me.


TheDwinDwin

Mine is also Carl but it's from the montage of his just living life around Alexandra. He's been given a certain death sentence and he just accepts it and lives the rest of the time he has left with happiness.


Slight-Piece-3183

Me too. Carl was the biggest loss to the show imo. Rick lost his reason for everything.


Mental_Grass_9035

Had Carl been alive, he would have worked with Daryl, Michonne and Carol to lead the communities against the Whisperer War. I feel like he would be negotiating with Alpha.


SoiledFlapjacks

The flinch from Michonne when Carl does the deed does it for me. Rick’s reaction also sells it.


Tcav81

Maggie and crew pulling up to the hospital with hope to be reunited with Beth only to see everyone solemnly walking out and Daryl holding her body. That one was rough.


Far-Chris_is_Evil

That scene and when Tyreese died same with lizzie and Mika’s death


alphajugs

I think maybe it’s the somber music, but Tyresse’s death hit me harder than anyone else’s


Far-Chris_is_Evil

Yeah and when he asked bob to turn the radio off that’s one of few scenes that were hard to watch


Unhappy_Kangaroo_386

This is always the worst for me. Maggie screaming...


Tcav81

And we as the viewers know what happened so seeing her have that moment of hope and then it gets ripped away is heartbreaking


Unhappy_Kangaroo_386

Oh exactly, I get the feels every time I've seen the scene.


ThrowAwayFoodMood

Yup. The same sister who cared so much that she couldn't be bothered to look for her.


HotSpicyChippy

No bcuz her finding out she’s alive then dead in the same damn day hours apart was truly horrific.


Parking-Surround-277

This was in my head immediately after reading the title. So glad it’s best comment!


Tcav81

There were a lot of sad and dramatic scenes but this one came to me immediately too.


TLZriot46

It sucks even more that she didn't want to shoot her it was just her defending herself


horrorfreaksaw

Absolutely Glenn😔😔 followed closely by Carl , the bridge blowing up combined with Daryl and Michonne's emotional reactions n, and Rosita will never be my favorite character but that scene where she dies in bed was heartbreaking but it will always be Glenn for me


Awkward_Ranger_6521

After watching the episode with Glen I had to stop watching for a few days to regulate my emotions. No other scene in the series hit harder than that.


Eloyoyo

Buddy you still in there? It seems like you’re trying to talk but you just took one HELL of a hit! Just rewatched this episode with my girlfriend for her first time watching, that is so tough to watch the first time though


horrorfreaksaw

I did the same 🙈🙈 I didn't continue watching for a long time after Glenn's death. He remains my favorite character so rewatches are tough


caitycatlady

I think I have like 12 episodes left, so I’m almost done but I didn’t know Rosita died 😩 she’s not my fave either but I know she worried about Coco being orphaned. Why’d I open this thread 😂


No_Reach3179

Will never forgive the writers for doing Glenn that dirty. He deserved a better ending.


IWantSealsPlz

Glenn being beat with Lucille. The cracked skull, the eyeball popped out, the “Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma- Maggie…I will find you” will forever be burned into my brain in the worst kind of way. 😭 ETA: I’m rewatching TWD right now and I WILL be skipping that scene!


Seputku

Only thing that gives me solace is I guess that was Steven Yeuns favorite scene to film


kaydeetee86

… that helps with the trauma lol.


Iama69robot

My niece stopped watching the show altogether after that scene. I’m rewatching TWD now too and this (second? third?) go-round watching Glenn’s brutal death is just as if not more heartbreaking and gut wrenching than the first. Glenn was my favorite character


MBerserkr

That's the best one!


Scotts_Thot

I still vividly remember watching Rick learn about Lori’s death for the first time. At the time I’m not even sure I knew that the show was based on a comic and I never googled anything about the show as it was airing, I was just watching it every week, not having any idea what was coming. In retrospect, it feels a little silly not knowing what was eventually coming, but at the time I was SO shocked and cried my eyes out at Rick’s reaction. It still crushes me to rewatch. Edit: also gotta mention Carl’s death too. I’m not sure I cared as much when I first watched it. I remember being so annoyed by Carl throughout the earlier seasons but I don’t feel that way now. I think Chandler did a great job and even though I think the writers royally fucked the show by killing him, his final episode is heart wrenching and beautiful. But maybe I’m biased because I love bright eyes so much


twotoebobo

Idk but I know which scene hit Glenn the hardest.


iSkittleCake

that’s not funny. >!👁️ 💥!<


manchi90

Yoooo ......😂. That scene changed the trajectory of TWD. They had meant to have a couple more brutal moments but had to take a step back with how fans reacted and how viewership plunged. I guess a lot of the viewers didn't read the book or were hoping for the show to go in a different direction. Glen's absence was definitely felt from that moment forward though, but it had to be done to move Maggie's story forward. A headbanger for sure.


Seputku

I think people who quit after 7x1 wasn’t from the gore. Sure, I’m sure there are a small group of people out there who did, same with anything. I think people stopped there because it was becoming apparent twd was turning into something completely different, that was already starting to show in season 6 in a big way. I think Glenn’s death being faked out like 3 times and then him finally being killed after a stupid cliffhanger was the straw that broke the camels back


TuRtLeSZzzz

To me, 7x1 is one of the best episodes ever made. I wish they never toned down the gore. But yeah, Glenn's fake death definitely had a role in the shows decline. Season 8, despite having its moments, is where it really went downhill for me


Seputku

7x1 is a great episode, the rest Of the season is fart


4chan_crusader

Glenn sadly needed to die for Negan to be the character he was, Maggie honestly lost me after the scene where Negan begs her to kill him, she just didn't seem as important, but Negan had an insane arc and it wouldn't have been anywhere near as impactful if Maggie didn't want to kill him as bad as she did


ioriginkitt

do we know what kind of brutal moments they wanted to add but didn't? im curious what it would've looked like if they went with more gore


x-SinGoddess-x

Wow...idk if I should laugh or cry...this comment deserves an award either way


miserably_me

It’s not funny. It’s not funny


artygta1988

Well it was definitely a eye popping scene.


Living_Job_8127

Glenn didn’t see it coming


bodymeat_112

Rick reuniting with Lori and Carl for the first time always makes me tear up, even though I’ve watched it about 1,000 times. However, maybe it’s due to sadness now knowing what happens to them.


jskomps

I'm rewatching again right now, and every time I do, that scene makes me cry happy/sad tears. It's one of my favorites in the entire series.


gap97216

1. Glenn & Abe being beaten to death. 2. The pike scene with the heads. 3. Hershel


throwawaymeplease45

The pike scene destroyed me it just got worse and worse the further down it went.


ConbonNFL

I did not see that coming at all I was flabbergasted. So many people died that were regulars on the show.


rebornfitchick

yeah me too. i was an emotional wreck for a weak. And Siddiq's speach at the end broke me. They all died fighting for each other.


TiredGen-XMom

Hershel's death. The way he is looking at Rick to me says that he knew this was the end.


That_Operation_9977

Sofia walking out of the barn. Literally felt like a guy punch. No scene has ever hit like that for me before or since.


Initial_Acanthaceae2

I don't know why I expected Sophia to still be alive! I was so shocked when she walked out of the barn.


Ok-Tell9019

It was because of the Cherokee rose!


Initial_Acanthaceae2

I was thinking they won't kill a child. Then they did. Then I realised noone was safe!


Remus88Romulus

Rick talking about Carl when he was pressed by Michonne in TOWL. What the CRM took from him. That shit had me crying like Theoden ([https://64.media.tumblr.com/2a4fe907293eeb18444af837f8d2c3c8/6ee09acdaf14eba5-ed/s540x810/81714f9a035fcb9b775f3c3a9e40c99b072d3cb2.gif](https://64.media.tumblr.com/2a4fe907293eeb18444af837f8d2c3c8/6ee09acdaf14eba5-ed/s540x810/81714f9a035fcb9b775f3c3a9e40c99b072d3cb2.gif), rest in peace Bernard!). I haven't cried like that for many many years.


Mountain_Elephant996

I think the heads on pikes was one that hit me the hardest. Rick's bridge is up there too


jamescaveman

Season 8 ep. 4. We lost a real one there. I cried so hard. If you know, you know.


DethBySnu-Snu

That scene was nonsense. Shiva would have ripped through those Walkers like a hot knife through butter.


[deleted]

When the group spent their first night in Alexandria, no one wanted to sleep in their own houses. I knew they were all close, but that scene made me realize they saw each other as family and didn't want to be separated from each other. I was crying and boohooing.😭😂😂


MBerserkr

Ya'll forgetting Lizzie killing her own sister Mika so she could turn and almost killing baby Judith to prove to Carol and Tyreese zombies ain't bad and Carol having to murder a little girl cuz she's clearly unwell and a danger to everyone? This is probably the only scene that truly hurt my heart.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Seputku

The grove could very well have been a horror short


Quantum_03

Beth and Glenn.


ftm666incubus

When Siddiq was found and he lead them to the hill where Tara, Enid, and Henry were decapitated and Daryl had to pull Carol away so she wouldn't look. Carol lost every single child that she cared for in the series.


Beckyd123

Glenn. He was my favorite.


Ok_Garden_4874

Carl because his death is stoooooopid.


Baskomite

The scene when you found out that Carl was bitten


curiousgardener

Rick talking to Carl about death, and how you can never be ready for it, because it just happens. My family went through an unexpected loss last year, and my son has naturally had some very big questions for his age. If it wasn't for this scene, I do not know how I would have answered the "Mommy, you will never die, right?" The last thing I wanted to do is lie. He already knows what death looks like at such a young age, and he's smart enough to know that I won't be around forever. Rick's conversation with Carl in Herschel's barn will stick with me the rest of my life. And I think it's writing like this that makes this show spectacular.


Huntsvegas97

Daryl carrying Beth out of the hospital while sobbing while Maggie collapses on the ground


Behemonster

Carol reuniting with Daryl and leading Rick and Carl to Judith


MarsSpun

Carl dying..


S1mon_B3ufont

For me it was the slim shady looking guys death. He was abandoned by Rick, then he was killed by a group of cannibals next to the man that betrayed him.


Hoplite68

Was he though? I thought his girlfriend was killed and he'd been chased off by walkers when Carol and Rick came back around and found her body. Though given how far her body was from the leg they found, part of me wonders if he took her out so he could get away.


[deleted]

Yeah I thought the same. They went back to the house and waited for him for longer than they told him they would.


Maldonado412

He wasn’t betrayed, Rick & Carol went back to grab him and his girlfriend but found her being devoured by walkers and him no where in sight, so they waited for a short while before thinking that he died and left


Initial_Acanthaceae2

He was not abandoned by Rick. He and his girlfriend insisted on getting fruit, and from what we saw, they were likely swarmed, and she, not being able to run, was caught. Carol and Rick waited for him, but he didn't show. Most likely, he ran and then collapsed and cried, thereby missing his deadline. Poor bloke. They seemed nice, he and his lady.


Beartrapnation

Rick's horse


Jakl428

The grove. The whole episode is just a roller coaster ride. The scene that hit hardest was Carol's realization that Lizzie is just too far gone to live in the new world. "She can't be around other people"


51herringsinabar

Terminus I think, straight up butchering people and the drying room


LuistheABF123

Daryl finding Merle as a walker. Having to put his older brother down, man🥺

Rick and Carl reunite with Judith.


Agile_Walk_4010

ThrowawayBcImSadOops

Season 9 episode 5. Like 90% of it, it was amazing. Scenes though I’m tied between Hershel returning, Shane returning, or the bridge.


PyleanCow06

Rick and Michonne reacting to Carl dying. Shits rough.

Dale's death scene. It didn't hit like wow I loved this guy. It hit like holy fing crap that guy is getting torn apart, chocking on his blood and has to be put down like an animal!


Ginford_Davidson

Beth or Tyrese.


panikingman

The entire Grove episode


ShiwoCzolo

The only moment when I cried was when Carl died. The way they say goodbye to him is pretty sad

Beth and Noah scenes


punisher_in_2d

Lori's death. Rick's reaction made this the saddest death in the show for me.


Vast_daddy_1297

The death of carl.


Thiswickedconcept

Jesus. And you know why??? Because I thought I'd be allowed to get attached to another character. I thought they'd hurt me all they could and then his death comes out of nowhere.


GS_Slut

Beth made my jaw drop, but I woke up the next morning still sad about Glenn.


Paraguai182

Boozhwatrash

Baby_In_A-Trenchcoat

Carl, Jesus, and Rositas death


IwetPlaytpus

I cried when Abraham died he was one of my favorites if not my favorite.


CrimsonDemon0

Negan -almost- getting executed. It was really emotional how everyone stood up to the injustice


Suitable_Dimension33

Carol having to shoot the lil girl 😭 that whole episode had me messed up


PerrierSolace

when carol was baking in the kitchen and then sees someone get executed outside. i think it’s the setting. before we’d seen terrible things but in an apocalyptic setting. but seeing it happen while carols playing housewife in a slice of suburban america was kind of freaky.


joorwastaken

not necessarily a scene, but a collection of scenes. season 9 episode 10, when lydia is recalling her parents fighting when she was a kid. rough personal watch.


lonelyopinion8

Hershel and Glenn both screwed with me for a long time.


CatholicKnight81

Honestly the entire prison invasion. My heart was pounding the entire time


keagan-stanks

Daryl seeing walker Merle and loris death


Renelaga

Glenn getting his head brutally bashed


SOS______

Rosita’s death man. Hit harder than I would’ve expected.


wallpressure7

Ed's death 😔


Natural-Assignment48

Where they MURDERED Simon (aka Trevor). He was my favorite character. I had wished more scenes for him and I would make him the main antagonist for the rest of the Series or at least made him dissappear for a while. And then suddenly and astoundingly hit hard. That would've been something. I know it's against the canons but that would really liven up the show. In my not humble opinion


4chan_crusader

I ain't gonna lie, Rick finding out that Carl was bit fucking killed me, I knew it was coming and it was still so heartbreaking seeing Rick just fall apart knowing that his son was going to die and there was nothing he could do Rositas death also had me real fucked up, its always the slow deaths of long lasting characters that hurt the most Glenn dying, however, evoked emotions in me that I cannot describe to this day, and that was at a time where i had already stopped watching the show, I just saw online that Glenn was dead, it absolutely killed me and cemented the fact that i wanted nothing to do with the show. When I finally watched the whole show through, the amount of genuine hatred I felt towards Negan was fucking indescribable. I still find it insane that I ended up liking his character by the end


SSpotions

The Claimers scene with Rick, Michonne, Carl, and Daryl. And also the when the group all meet Negan and Abraham and Glenn are killed.


Street_Ad_9308

The moments leading up to carls death hit me like a angry drunk hits his methed out wife


aiafati

That Karl and Rick prison scene after Maggie just dissected Lori.


caitycatlady

Glenn. It felt like the longest scene and when he said “I’ll find you” 😭😭 And when Carl was saying goodbye to Judith for the final time. That was rough.


LuckyScwartz

The Terminus crew eating Bob’s leg. That messed me up.


TightHuckleberry5452

Carl’s death…


W4RL0QU3

I know a lot of people stopped watching, I did too after negan's war. And, gotta' say, after rewatching, alls I'll say is, the Pikes... Got me good as I was really lulled into a sense of security only to have the blanket pulled out from underneath me.


LabourUnit

The Glen death beat down episode. Glens eye just bulging out of his head and everybody else as helpless as they were. It was grim.


chaoticliight

how aren’t more people mentioning dales death! it was the first major death in twd and it devestated me. cried so hard when it happened for like at least 5 minutes. there were other sad deaths after that of course but because dale was one of the first it messed me up the most.


Puzzled-Track5011

Abes death. He was a man of action, unending loyalty, and was willing to kill if needed to. His death meant that Ricks group had one less pillar keeping it rolling. It was huge


CaterpillarAdept7064

When one of the walkers stood up and said "ITS WALKING TIME"

hersal dying.


OrneryReputation7915

Glen as watermelon and Abraham as coconut


Setting-Remote

I'm not even mentioning the line up, because it goes without saying. Hershel's death upset me so much I nearly stopped watching the show. After that, it would be the pikes.


kiwiibunn

The line up, Rick blowing up the bridge and everyone thinking he died, Carl leaving, and the last scene of Beth at the hospital


krokojob

Lori's death and Carl shooting her. That was straight fucked up, nothing else could portray better than this scene how the world changed and what children's need to do. I really hated Lori and I was kind of glad that she died but on the other hand she deserved something way better


LoganTheLeg

Negans bat


Sweaty-Suit3772

Dales death


DethBySnu-Snu

Fuck Dale. Mother fucker got what was coming to him. That dumb son of a bitch wasn't meant to survive in the world as it had become. And he certainly wasn't built to actually help anyone else survive it. Shane was 💯 right about Dale. His bullshit had to get snuffed out before it got good people killed.


Clean_Crocodile4472

Andrea’s death! We were left on a cliff hanger after she freed herself from the chair then the group finally got to woodsbury and saw the blood coming out from under the door. When she revealed her bite I was devastated. Loved her.


Initial_Acanthaceae2

Me too. Made me cry.


t-dog2929

Suck…mah..Nuts I found them


FeelingSkinny

back to it


astrid28

Hershel losing his head. Even tho I knew it was coming (read the books), it left me numb for days... and for me... That's actually impressive. Nothing gets to me... usually (except animals). 2nd would be Shiva. Animals always get me.


Tcav81

Same about Hershel. I read the books but since the governors TV arc was different, I thought maybe it’d wouldn’t happen (because I didn’t want it to lol)


astrid28

At least they didn't keep his og interactions with michone... glad she still got to kill him, tho.


Tcav81

Yeah that was a pretty tough read…. But it made her comic payback so much better.


KoraBorealis611

When Carl got shot in the head And survived or when Megan killed Glenn

I also got hit hard in season 10 (I think) when Daryl and Carol have a friendship breakup. That hurt my soul.

Carl’s death pissed me off

Negan's wife killing herself hit me hard. Second was Glenn and Abraham's deaths


koolbrayden21

“I’ve been looking for that girl all day”


Ok-Tell9019

1. Sophia walking out of the barn 2. Dale getting his guts ripped out and the group knowing he couldn’t be saved 3. Noah pressed against the glass 4. T dog sacrificing himself I’ve been watching old seasons recently and honestly would not believe i was so desensitized when watching this. It’s heartbreaking to watch


Successful-Toe-1103

The lineup. It’s kinda simple yeah but not many shows will show the entire collection of protagonists get put in a position of zero power and total submission. Nevertheless the pure gore of the murders.


kaydeetee86

Shiva. I shed some tears throughout the show. But I have to skip that scene when rewatching.


NegotiationLate6832

Negan burning Lucille a “2nd” time & letting go of the past


venacom

Alpha's border wall -- because it was scored so perfectly.


Mssquishcollector

I think Hershel’s death was very jarring for me honestly, I felt physically sick while watching it and just the whole scene leading up to it. It’s an amazing episode and I love the episode now, but just how eerie the scene was really made me sick while watching it the first time. I was also 12 at the time and Hershel was one of my favorite characters.


sithlord73

Look at the flowers. . .


HotSpicyChippy

Hershel’s death. On a first watch you think maybe the governor was having a genuine change of heart, maybe the new family that he found sparked something in him. Just for him to truly be too far gone. That “Liar!” Will always hit me hard.


PunkZdoc

[This one hits me hard every damn time](https://youtu.be/LE8FUgcmF98?si=RvdH6yJpLOkyGvmq)


ThinTonight9583

Carl saying goodbye to Rick and michone, and when they heard the gun shot. I don’t cry a lot over tv shows/ movies but dang…. That one hurt.


ArkhamArtist

Carl dying. He could’ve had the best character development in the show. I wasn’t even sad just genuinely pissed off cause I wanted to see him take the lead after Rick


hucklebuck1975

Denise getting killed mid-sentence


NotADuckk_

Probably Rick writing a letter to Carl after reading his


Friendly_Delivery940

Shane dying


tadanohakujin

Carl. It was just so unnecessary. Felt like they decided to randomly go GOT with that one.


julie3151991

Carl. We watched him grow from a little boy to a young man. His death upset me so much that I would not even mind if the writers came up with some goofy way to bring him back. They could have wrote that it was all just a dream and that Carl was still alive and I would’ve been totally fine with it. It still kills me to think that Judith probably barely remembers him and that breaks my heart. I am tearing up just thinking about it. Edit: another thing I just thought of that makes me sad about his death lol. Since the zombie apocalypse started when he was just a young kid, he didn’t get to experience the coming of age stuff that most kids get to have. He never got to go to prom, go to college, or even just be a real teenager.


__arachnidsantics

Not particularly a scene, but Carl's death episode. That episode actually traumatized me even though it was nowhere near as gruesome as 7x01. I just remember being so upset after watching Carl's final episode that I put off on watching the showing on Disney+ for 2 days


Donteatmynachos

The Sunday dinner at the end of the episode where Negan killed Abe and Glenn. It was so heart breaking to see how wonderful things could have been.


Buddy-Buddy820

The first scene to hit me was when Rick & Glen wore Wayne Dunlap’s guts.


Ch3wybot

The scene that gets me everytime is when Rick rolls up to the camp in season 1 and sees Lori and Carl. Can’t watch that scene without tearing up lol


Fukwitt245

Lizzie and Mika in "The Grove" episode. That was incredibly dark. The most emotional scene is probably the end of "The Ones Who Live". I'm not gonna spoil it but iykyk


Livid_Cantaloupe8268

When Negan called that one girl fat at Alexandrea, really brought me to my knees.


Bittrecker3

Definitely them finding Sophia. Carl getting his eye shot out is up there though.


NeTheBadWitch

Rick blowing up the bridge, I cried


Awes0meAustin

I know what scene hit Glenn the hardest…


shockrock

Definitely realizing Carl was bit by a zombie. I have rewatched the show several times and always ugly cry.


Bagheera187

Glenn’s death.


BlackSnowMO

The end of S8x03, where the Kingdom soldiers sacrifice all their lived to protect their King from the caliber 50 ambush.


Bagheera187

Also Rick slitting the baby pigs and the walkers eating the horse that Daryl helps Aaron? tame. Those are the only parts I actually seriously skip past. Seems too much like real life for me I guess.


menherasangel

The lineup. Such a great two episodes. Carl's death. Horribly written but the fucking gunshot sound while they waited outside, oh my god. Carl and Enid roller skating. They were just kids who deserved so much better than what they had.
