Joker and Negan, and How Much Does Source Material Matter?
from The Matt Sager Podcast Hosted by Matt Sager
While at Fan Expo, The Walking Dead's Cailey Fleming (Judith Grimes) and Cassady McClincy (Lydia) posted a super-cute photo of themselves in a yoga pose they call "the crawling walker." You can see it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzqq4XvFeQ0/ Fleming also had some very interesting thoughts on TWD's upcoming 10th season, particularly about the future and fate of Negan. Speaking of enigmatic baddies transitioning from the page to the screen, director Todd Phillips says that his Joker has nothing at all to do with the comics - no lore, no canon, no continuity, and he anticipates a lot of fan outrage. I think he's underestimating the fans, who happily accept deviations of characters from their source material as long as it's done in service of character and story. I mean, Avengers: Endgame had a lot of fan service and Easter eggs, but in many ways differed wildly from the comics and nobody minded. I think we'll extend the same latitude to a well-done Joker!
