Amidst the calling of the Parents Television Council to revise the TV-MA rating of The "Walking Dead", avid viewers are debating if the leaked footage showing Maggie being bludgeoned with the barbed-wired and with blood oozing from her mouth is just a hallucination or actual episode of her death? Will it be less brutal considering that she's a woman and worst, she's also pregnant?
"The Walking Dead" producers were advised by the council to tone down violent graphics and instead be more artistic in implying how each killing happens without showing the actual ordeal. However, the people behind TWD can also decline since there's still no specific rating that will match the kind of TV series "The Walking Dead" is, says Forbes.
Horror shows get MA but "The Walking Dead" Season 7 is more than just a horror show for adults. It's disturbingly brutal! As Melissa Henson commented, there's nothing new with zombies and killings on TV but showing every detail of a violent murder is another story and must be classified in a stricter category. She is the program director of the bewildered Parents Television Council, according to USA Today.
It appeared in leaks or rather teasers that the next fatality appears to be Lauren Cohan's Maggie character. This actually jives with Glenn's final words; "I will find you" - perhaps in the after-life? AMC as expected, will not spoil the thrill that made "The Walking Dead" what it is today in terms of interactive viewership.
Could it be that the alternative footage is just Maggie's fear? Will she die like Glenn when despite how deadly the beatings were - he did not die from them? Instead, he choked from his own blood and the dirt constitutes to his death in TWD.
Thinking out of the box, if Negan kills Maggie, she would probably get the first blow and who knows, she will die of miscarriage! What do you think?
