The Walking Dead Season 6 episode 15 may have introduced another community straight out of the comic books. Remember the scene with Rick and Morgan at the farm? There was a man covered in armor, similar to what Rick’s group used when they lived at the prison. The man in armor was searching for his horse. Morgan asked the man if he’d seen Carol, but the walkers were quickly approaching and the man in armor didn’t trust Rick wouldn’t kill him.
The encounter was short, but it wasn’t random. First, Saviors don’t have animals or farmland because they’re brutes who take what they want. The Saviors don’t have patience, which is why there’s a good chance The Walking Dead used the man in armor to introduce another nearby community called The Kingdom.
What’s so special about The Kingdom? Well, it’s the home of Ezekiel and his pet tiger, Shiva. Unlike Gregory, Negan and Rick, Ezekiel is a much more calm, calculating leader. Ezekiel would never have made his community members kill the Saviors in their sleep like Rick did.
Ezekiel becomes a very important part in the war against the Saviors. Without giving too much away, Ezekiel doesn’t like Negan but never shows it. He’s in contact with a Savior who serves as Negan’s right hand. We won’t tell you which Savior that is, but it’ll be a great twist in the show if they decide to stay true to the comics.
Speaking of comics, some hardcore fans wanted to see Ezekiel because of his romance with Michonne. In the comics, Michonne starts to feel human again when she’s around Ezekiel. Their relationship is much deeper than what she had with Morgan and Tyrese in the comics. However, since Michonne is Rick’s lady now in the show, we doubt we’ll see a Michonne-Ezekiel romance.
While we’re on the topics of unlikely events in The Walking Dead , there’s a 50-50 chance we’ll get to see a pet tiger on the show. Working with animals on television shows can be notoriously tough, let alone a tiger. Don’t get your hopes up on seeing Shiva by Ezekiel’s side.
