We’ve listed Carl’s top moments from The Walking Dead show! Read ‘em and let us know what you think:
5. Crackshot
The only thing more satisfying than Rick killing Shane was Carl taking him out after he turns. After two season of coddling (I mean, can we blame his parents?) this is the moment where Carl emerges as a child of apocalypse, able to adapt and survive.
4. What Are We Going To Do About Rick?
Throughout Seasons 3 & 4 Carl has been gunning for independence, but when the prison goes down and then Rick falls ill, Carl’s self-sufficiency is put to the test. He scavenges (pudding) and fends off walkers, but what really resonates is the moment when Carl yells at his dad, revealing all of his insecurities and worries with Rick at death’s door.
3. Oh Baby
When Carl and Rick (mistakenly) think Judith is dead upon discovering her bloody baby carrier, the contrast in their reactions is devastating. While Rick breaks down, Carl just stands there, unable to process it after all of the tragedy he’s had to endure.
2. Reunited
When Carl first sees Rick approaching the camp outside of Atlanta, his face lights up. In that smile, we can see so clearly everything Rick has been fighting. Carl runs for his father’s arms and–what’s this? There must be something in my eye…
1. Mother’s Day
In what must be the most heart breaking AND gruesome scene in the entire series, Carl is forced to kill his mother, Lori, after she just barely manages to give birth to Judith. It’s perhaps the hardest choice a character has ever been faced with on The Walking Dead, and Carl handles it as best he can.
What did you think of our top picks? Any particular Carl moments that you think deserve to be in the Top 5 but weren’t? And which character would you like us to cover next? Comment below!
And if you haven’t already, check out our Top 5 Glenn Moments!
These are good… my rankings:
1) WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT RICK? (Had me feeling like Comic Carl was on the rise!)
2) REUNITED (That was THE family moment right there!)
3) CRACKSHOT (Wasn’t that harder than Mom? JK!)
4) OH BABY (Just that tiny bit when he walked off… cold)
5) MOTHER’S DAY (In the grey area with Lori’s Moments)
I like his heart-to-heart with Michonne right before they entered Terminus.
I’d love for you to cover Maggie Moments, I think.
We’ve had top 5 Glenn moments and now we have top 5 Carl moments. Season 6 is going to be rough for them.
Abraham’s Moments coming up?
That’s exactly what I was thinking! Should we get together and buy him some safety glasses. Just in case, you know.
Let’s just throw Nicholas in front of him (was gonna say Daryl but I’d like to swap him with Glenn). >:)
Nicholas isn’t worth killing, no one likes him yet
Yeah, you’re right!
Yea fingers crossed they kirk-jerk daryl and some other dink for “those two deaths”, i believe thats how they were putting it earlier
Kerk-Jerk, I love how that has just stuck, its up there with Cover Bluffer 🙂
And Fake Takes?
or a “Tasty Fake” where something looks like its going to be juicy a hell but ends up being a load of crap!
Thanks lizzie. I definitely believe these are Carl’s top moments but I’ve that’s left out was when he killed that kid from the governors camp. That was a moment when Carl started to slip away from his regular self. I loved this one. But yea top Maggie moments and Abraham. This one was perfect
Oooh yeah, that’s a really good one!
Well this post was RAD.
THANKS!!
“la jiggy jar jar do” is my favorite carl moment
