I stopped watching this show after about Season 5 because I couldn't take the constant plot armour and the messy writing. I consistently remember Daryl in particular having a mass fan-base of rabid teenage girls that would defend him at all costs.
I was extremely confused about this, as Daryl was always one of the least compelling characters in the show in my opinion. I liked him when he had his brother, as it was cool to see the family dynamic and I will admit Daryl's past was interesting to delve into. But now, he seems like just a grunting side character who is constantly squinting.
I still check up to see the breaking news about this show, like Rick dying, so I looked up a few scenes of the latest seasons on YouTube and by god is Daryl boring in every single one I watched. He does the same thing; kill someone, kill a walker, yell out Ricks name, or stand around and do nothing. Norman Reedus has always been an above average actor but I always felt like he was wasting his potential with a character as boring as Daryl's.
Can someone please explain what makes him so likeable, or am I harping on things that everyone agrees on? Like I said, I haven't been around the TWD community in forever.
