The season 5 opener of The Walking Dead brought back underdog character, Carol (Melissa McBride), in an awesome way. Now, we think she should be the leader. On the after show, The Talking Dead, there was a poll asking if Carol should be the group’s leader and the audience’s answer was an overwhelming NO! Well, it’s time to sway you nay-sayers because Carol has so many great traits and would be a better leader than Rick. Still not buying it? Well we have 10 reasons below why Rick (Andrew Lincoln) should let Carol take the reigns.
1. She has been through so many more life experiences than Rick, which makes her wiser.Giphy
2. She is a badass, plain and simple!
3. She isn’t afraid of making horrifyingly tough decisions.
4. She was able to keep her sanity after those tough decisions unlike someone else we know…
5. She single handedly saved the group from being someone’s dinner.
6. Yes, she’s harsh at times but only to make sure her loved ones survive. She is still a nurturer.
7. She has less distractions. Rick has two kids that he is constantly struggling to take of, and having the responsibility of taking care of the group is killing him.
8. Although Rick is slowly catching onto this fact Carol already knows that humans are more dangerous and makes decisions off of that.Giphy
9. She doesn’t act like she is above taking any task that needs to be filled. She will be a soldier one day and babysitter the next.Giphy
10. She would lead with confidence since she has been very unapologetic for all that she has done.Giphy
So step aside Rick…
Carol is going to take it from here
