The Walking Dead fans were crushed when Carl Grimes was killed off halfway through season 8. The teen survivor was a huge part of the show, as we’d literally seen him grow up on screen. If you remember, some folks were so enraged that they even called for AMC to reverse the decision and bring Carl back to life, after he was bitten by a walker.
The bitterness towards the loss of the character wasn’t helped by comments made by actor Chandler Riggs’ dad on social media, either, which made it clear that he wasn’t happy that the writers had decided to write his son out of the hit series. His comments were quickly deleted though and the matter hasn’t really surfaced again since…until now.

More than that, though, his role has kept growing in the comics and many fans were looking forward to seeing Rick’s son follow suit in the TV show. The decision to kill off a character with so much potential, then, has been met with quite a bi of hostility in some quarters.
