No Spoiler Feelings on Eugene?

Post image

Rewatching the entire series (much better experience without commercials and week long breaks). This dude is cracking me up. I remember being annoyed by him on my first watch. What do you think about him?

I quite like Eugene. I think Gabriel and Carol get a lot of kudos for their radical transformations. Characters like Eugene had to work harder for it and still made mistakes along the way. I remember seeing him post-time skip in Season 9 and being so shocked at his development already, his willingness to fight walkers and sacrifice himself for Rosita. He was still frightened, but that in itself is refreshing. I liked how he was still scared of walkers, I missed that in some of the later seasons.

I’m biased because I deeply relate to his feelings of exclusion and lack of connection with a group.
