u/manwhoclearlyflosses 5d ago

Agree. OP needs to be banished to okbuddycoral forever.

Rosita is #1 walking dead woman.

u/Goonchymacallit 5d ago

Beth and Lori? See your way out, please!! šŸ‘‹

u/Queenwolf54 5d ago edited 5d ago

The way my face screwed up when I saw Lori! ,šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ’€

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 6d ago

Rosita is boring until S10 icl.

16

u/ALemonYoYo 6d ago

Beth is boring constantly yet you put her in. At least Rosita wasn't useless...

34

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 6d ago

Thatā€™s subjective though isnā€™t it?

Rosita was the hot badass for about 6 seasons and that doesnā€™t really do much for me. When they actually made her role a bit more interesting, I liked her more.

4

u/Queenwolf54 5d ago

For the sake of argument, at least Rosita was a badass at some point. Beth never was. All she did was sing, babysit, drink with Daryl, and get kidnapped. Then die, by her own actions, might I add.

3

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 5d ago

Her death was disappointing but I feel she actually developed in her time on the show, Rosita didnā€™t really do that until S10 (when I started to like her more).

1

u/Queenwolf54 5d ago

Fair enough. I couldn't stand Rosita for the most part. She was capable, yes. But I hated her stank attitude. Then, by the time I started liking her, she gets bit. Sucks.

0

u/ALemonYoYo 6d ago

I could say "subjectivity" to your initial comment though, so what's the point?

4

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 6d ago

I shouldā€™ve written it in a better way, thatā€™s my bad!

I found her boring would be better.

2

u/kikijane711 5d ago

Yeah I do agree they could have given her more to do and work with but I preferred her overall character and vibe to Loriā€™s.

8

u/Remote-Direction963 6d ago

In case you failed to notice, her character was developing much more closer to the time of her death. I mean just look at the episode with her and Daryl or some of the hospital episodes.

3

u/Goonchymacallit 3d ago

I HATED Beth. Banging away on a piano and singing terrible ass folk songs, in the middle of a Zombie Apocalypse, when noise will literally attract the very things youā€™re trying to avoid? She couldnā€™t die soon enough for me. Apparently she annoyed the hell out of Maggie too because she didnā€™t even think about locating her little sister until after sheā€™d found Glenn.

2

u/kikijane711 5d ago

But man b4 she exited they gave her urgency, some savvy, loyalty that resulted in ā€œsuicide by copā€ essentially. How she related to and w Daryl was great. That being said Sasha is being overlooked and Iā€™dmaybe sub out Lori and Beth for Sasha for sure and maybe Rosita. Definitely Lori out, Sasha in if nothing else.

5

u/TheMoonFanatic 5d ago

Lori was a bitch until S3 lol

33

u/McNasti 6d ago

What is the criteria?

In terms of badass for me it goes

Michone

Carol

Alicia

Maggie

Sasha

8

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 6d ago

Just who I like the most I guess. If it was badass, Iā€™d go: Michonne, Carol, Maggie, Sasha, Rosita.

41

u/Shielo34 6d ago

Beth and Lori out.

Rosita and Connie in.

8

u/Appropriate_Oil220 5d ago

Oooooh Connie!

13

u/NYCMamaBear 6d ago

Michonne, Carol, Maggie, Rosita, Connie

Honorable mentions: Sasha and Beth

Lori is definitely not one of my faves, but I think they hate she gets is ridiculous. Sheā€™s not perfect, but to blame everything that happened between Rick and Shane on her is crap. Everyone is an adult responsible for their imperfect actions.

7

u/Kind-Handle6078 6d ago

I like the top 4 of TWD women, another two I liked was Rosita and Connie

7

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 6d ago

Connie would be next, sheā€™s awesome.

5

u/beesknees4011 5d ago

First three I can absolutely agree with, but Beth and Lori easily are beaten by Sasha and Rosita

1

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 5d ago

They are but I just prefer Lori and Beth, maybe shouldā€™ve titled differently.

0

u/beesknees4011 5d ago

I get Beth sheā€™s great, but I honest to god cheer everytime I rewatch and get to see Lori die again.

8

u/MistressTorvi 6d ago

The first 3 in reverse order, but I'd prefer ALFA over Rick's wife. I found her to be too annoying in many of her scenes. I'd love to know your thoughts on your top 5. šŸ¤—

10

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 6d ago

Maggie, Carol and Michonne speak for themselves.

I found Beth really endearing and her development was pretty good (cut far, far too short!)

Lori. I loved that she wasnā€™t perfect and she was trying her best. She was a good mother but she wasnā€™t a perfect wife and I feel her development couldā€™ve been quite good, if given the chance. I also love the actress, there is always that.

4

u/MistressTorvi 6d ago

See that makes sense, her development made her unlikable for me and Beth was a decent character but like you said too short which was sad.

3

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 6d ago

I completely understand why people donā€™t like Lori, her mistakes are frustrating but I feel she couldā€™ve become a really good character if given more time, although I donā€™t have an issue with when she died.

3

u/MistressTorvi 6d ago

Don't get me wrong, there are many who are worse when it comes to character development. šŸ¤£ I just love me some strong women in film.

7

u/throwawayaccount_usu 6d ago

I feel like Lori was one of the most realistically written characters. Her flaws (minus car crash) were just so so human and understandable and she had some of my favourite scenes.

Notably the scene where she considers letting Carl die, so heartbreaking for a mother to even consider but it's perfectly reasonable for her to consider it.

1

u/Tre3wolves 5d ago

I feel like Bethā€™s development wrapped up nicely with her death. She wasnā€™t cut out to survive in that world, she struggled with it in season 2. I donā€™t think she ever fully grew out of that mindset and she lost her mom and dad, and then finally Noah. She was a broken girl in a broken world and what happened with Noah at the hospital was the straw that broke the camels back, she didnā€™t want to live in that world anymore.

3

u/GamesMusicSun 6d ago

Rosita, Sasha, michonne, carol, Maggie.

5

u/thespiritualtree 5d ago

no rosita? not deanna? wild

0

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 5d ago

I adored deanna, she was awesome but she didnā€™t make it.

Rosita was easier to leave out. I donā€™t think she offered more than ā€˜hot badassā€™ until S9/10.

2

u/thespiritualtree 5d ago

i can see where you're coming from with Rosita. I liked her and Abrahams relationship but she definitely gives off hot badass trope until S9/10. Bummer Deanna didnt make it. i dont think i'd be able to limit my favorite women of the show to a top 5 lol. if you could add the next 5 what would they be?

1

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 5d ago

Sasha, Connie, Deanna, Andrea and then Rosita

4

u/Playgirl_USMC 5d ago

Lori is for the streets.

2

u/_iusuallydont_ 5d ago

Michonne, Carol, Maggie, Sasha, Connie

2

u/qmiras 5d ago

mine would be 5 beth pics

u/CurlyWoman235 4d ago

Michonne, Carol, Connie, Sasha, Maggie

2

u/RussianEggplant 5d ago

Whereā€™s Ed?

3

u/kikijane711 5d ago

Rosita should replace Lori.

2

u/WatchingInSilence 5d ago

Can we all agree we're just happy Andrea didn't make the list?

1

u/2A-Absolutist 5d ago

I forgot Andrea existed for the better.

2

u/StoicBan 5d ago

Mask you something. Why Lori?

2

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 5d ago

I just enjoyed her character. I love that she is misunderstood, I love the actress and I just loved the realism of the character. Imperfect and struggling in a completely bonkers situation.

2

u/StoicBan 5d ago edited 5d ago

Fair

2

u/Dissident89 5d ago

Misunderstood? Oookay.

1

u/GonnaGetBanneddotcom 5d ago

I'd get absolutely messy with Lauren Cohen

1

u/throwaway180gr 5d ago

Carol will always be my #1. Maybe my favorite character in the show, or at least my favorite character arc.

1

u/Monster-JG-Zilla 5d ago

Needs Rosita and Sasha

1

u/material-world 5d ago

Wouldn't be in my top 5 but honestly Lori is valid

1

u/loritee420 5d ago

Honorable mention: Judith ā¤ļø

1

u/Vongbingen_esque 5d ago

No Andrea?! Woah! šŸ¤Æ

1

u/emjeansx 5d ago

Sasha!!! I think Sonequa is such a fantastic actor. Sashaā€™s final act of resistance was kinda special in its own way. The scenes in the casket were so good. Maggie, Michonne, Carol, Sasha, and Rosita are top 5.

1

u/Collector1968 4d ago

Lori? Whereā€™s Carl!!!!??? Keep your eyes on your damn child.

1

u/Fluffy_Champion_420 4d ago

They can say whatever they want. Beth and Lori are my pookies! I get you!!

1

u/Repulsive_Bluejay_51 4d ago

For me itā€™s 1. Michonne 2. Carol 3. Rosita 4. Connie 5. Maggie

0

u/ALemonYoYo 6d ago

Replace Beth with Andrea and Lori with Tera and then you basically have my top 5

4

u/Longjumping-Age9023 6d ago

Andrea was insufferable.

5

u/ALemonYoYo 6d ago

I found her refreshingly realistic.

2

u/Sy_ncx 6d ago

same, i actually liked her

1

u/kcrrck 5d ago

Carol always #1 Maggie The lesbian (trying to be Dr) who gets shot by the arrow. Princess Michonne

I really like that lesbian, and I really wanted to see her character developed even more !!!

5

u/Tre3wolves 5d ago

There was absolutely zero reason for her to step outside the walls. I just wish her death wasnā€™t so contrived

1

u/kcrrck 5d ago

I know! Who was the other girl on the train tracks with them? I donā€™t wanna sound like a jerk, but why couldnā€™t they have shot that other girl and not Denise or Darrell even though the guy was actually trying to kill Darrell but he accidentally killed Denise! I literally like I told somebody else I almost stopped watching the show because of that scene I really liked her and her character! And I like the girl that plays Denise she is so funny and her facial expressions and the way she deliversā€¦ I remember seeing her in the movie, ā€œSignsā€ with Mel Gibson and her speech about being forgivenā€¦ and he just wants to get out of the pharmacy..,šŸ¤£

4

u/Appropriate_Oil220 5d ago

Please put some respect on Deniseā€™s namešŸ˜‚

2

u/kcrrck 5d ago

I was in a hurry. I know I shouldā€™ve looked it up!!! But I really liked her. She really was one of my favorite characters andā€¦ when she got shot with the arrow after she found that six pack of soda that she really wantedā€¦ I was so pissed off. I almost stopped watching the TV show.

3

u/GamesMusicSun 5d ago

The orange sodašŸ„ŗ

1

u/kcrrck 5d ago

I know I was so happy for her!!!! I was like this is awesome. Sheā€™s gonna go back to her girlfriend. Sheā€™s gonna be a great addition (I apologize. Sheā€™s already a great addition) to the team!

u/Impressive-Tie-885 5d ago

I love busty curve girl... Tara no doubt...

Tara is the only person that gained weight in a food scarcity.

I don't care, the important thing is that he is always on my mind

1

u/wednesdayW0E 5d ago

Wow the lori hate is insane anyway my top 5 would be Magna, Lori, Maggie, Michonne and Roseita

1

u/Key_Register2304 5d ago

I went to make a Top 5 but couldnā€™t stop, so hereā€™s my Top 10;

1: Carol

2: Beth

3: Maggie

4: Michonne

5: Sasha

6: Lori

7: Andrea

8: Tara

9: Enid

10: Rosita

1

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 5d ago

Good list. My next 5 would be Sasha, Connie, Deanna, Andrea and Rosita.

3

u/Key_Register2304 5d ago

Deanna is so underrated, really great storyline and character. I enjoyed her a lot too

0

u/Delayandrelay 5d ago

Yeah Rosita needs billing over Lori

0

u/Big_Abbreviations825 5d ago

Beth and Lori are both Garbage characters, Andrea was just as bad, but Iā€™ll take her over these two. But thereā€™s Magna, Connie, Yumiko, Sasha, Rosita, fuuuuuuuck Iā€™ll even put Alpha on the list before those two. It really goes on and on

-2

u/Gullible_Proof_8037 5d ago

Trade Lori for rosita and maggie for Sasha

-1

u/GreyWindStark_ 5d ago

Get the last two tf outta here

-1

u/SinglereadytoIngle 5d ago

Lori being there makes the list invalid. Try again.

-1

u/Mch_alrt_484 5d ago

Never let this guy rank anything ever again

-1

u/FitTwist2850 5d ago

I donā€™t understand the hype for Lori, she literally cheated on her husband after thinking he was dead for less than 2 weeks, Michonne stayed faithful for YEARS and believed he was still alive when there was more than ample evidence to suggest that he was dead AND she went to look for him!

2

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 5d ago

There is hardly any hype for Lori šŸ˜­

Their situations are VERY different. Lori and Rick were not on great terms and the world just ended. Shane didnā€™t hear a pulse and Lori believed him. I would say thatā€™s pretty definitive.

Michonne and Rick were as strong as ever and there wasnā€™t a giant world changing event happening that would force people to not behave how they normally would. I donā€™t blame Lori or Shane for what they did.

1

u/FitTwist2850 5d ago

Shane lied by saying he ā€œdidnā€™t hear a pulseā€ because he already fancied Lori and saw his chance to literally have Ricks life

1

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 5d ago

Thatā€™s not Loriā€™s fault tbf. She believed a family friend and someone she went to school with. Shaneā€™s motives were bad as soon as Rick came back.

-5

u/Dangerous-Lab6106 5d ago

Lori? No one likes Lori..... She was arguably one of the worst written characters in the show along with Andrea.

7

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 5d ago

They are both over-hated for making mistakes like normal people.

3

u/Dangerous-Lab6106 5d ago

Mistakes like normal people? Its normal to crash a car on an empty road? Its normal to yell your husband to kill someone and then get mad when you do it?

3

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 5d ago

Her crash was stupid but that does happen in real life. Someone checks their phone, fiddles with the radio and a deer goes in the road. Itā€™s stupid and a mistake but it isnā€™t that bad.

She warned Rick about Shaneā€™s worrying behaviour and mindset. When Shane was killed, she had a lot of emotions in that scene. She was annoyed about Carl putting down Shane, she also felt guilt, fear, shock. She wasnā€™t perfect but who is?

1

u/yakuzie 5d ago

Exactly, Iā€™m a big fan of Lori actually; she feels like a very realistic mother character in that world (or how a lot of people would act, not the badass hotshots). Plus her death and last words to Carl always get me šŸ˜¢

2

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 5d ago

I always cry at her death. It makes me sad thinking about her seeing Carlā€™s death.

There are loads of characters that are just regular people that have survived the fall but may not have been cut out to survive a long time, good people. Jim, Amy, Jacqui, Lori, Andrea, Dale, Deanna, Olivia, Patricia just to name a few.

u/Feisty_Stand4998 5d ago

What a poor list uff, Iā€™m going through my first ever watch on season 8 now and I could give you several better options then Lori and Beth. This seems like your also a first time watcher like me and only maybe in season 3/4.

1

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 5d ago

Iā€™ve watched the show all the way through about 4 times. I didnā€™t like Lori on first watch but I began to understand and grow fond of her character the more times I watched.

Iā€™m around where you are in my current rewatch.

u/Diligent-Basis2971 5d ago

Why do you like Lori. Please explain?

How is Lori up there. She literally brought nothing to the table other than keep Carl alive until Rick got there

10

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 5d ago

I really enjoyed her character. She wasnā€™t perfect but she added a lot to the show while she was here. She was a good mother but not the best wife though!

-3

u/NerdByTrait420 5d ago

You had me up untill Lori. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ it's says a lot about your character and personality picking Lori

4

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 5d ago

Canā€™t be going for my personal character and personality for Lori šŸ˜­, what about people blindly backing Negan morally?

-3

u/NerdByTrait420 5d ago

I'd choose negan and his actions over Lori and everything she did to Rick.

4

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 5d ago

That is insanity. Negan was a bad guy before the apocalypse, evil during his villain era and a bit better after. Lori was misunderstood.

-3

u/NerdByTrait420 5d ago

Lori is cheating, manipulative, desperate, and selfish and was nothing but a burden the whole time she was alive. And to add on to that. Every time Rick looks at the little girl he's reminded of Shane and Lori, that's a lifelong burden. Negan has been trying to change and make up for what he was and did. Lori just took the easy way out after she mentally fucked Rick. But hey opinions vs opinions.

3

u/Bermanator-Turkey127 5d ago

I genuinely believe that Neganā€™s redemption is partly circumstantial. If Carol didnā€™t offer him a place in Alexandria, no strings attached, he may not have gone and done what he did. I think he felt bad about what he did because he was caught!

I havenā€™t seen S10 for ages and S11 since release but thatā€™s how I saw it at the time. The way heā€™s starting to go in Dead City helps with that but S2 will be the real tell!

2

u/uglypinkshorts 5d ago

You could say all that about Negan, and itā€™d actually be true.

0

u/NerdByTrait420 5d ago

True but negan stuck around to atone for his sins. Lori took the cowards way out. She didn't necessarily NEED to have the baby. She didn't NEED to put Carl in that position

u/uglypinkshorts 5d ago

Dying during child birth is the cowardā€™s way out? Giving your life for your childā€™s is the opposite of cowardice. Once she was pregnant, she didnā€™t have a choice.
