In my opinion, most of the characters who are consired to be main characters in the TV Series should be considered main characters, as well in the comics with a few exceptions. So now, I'm going to list every single main character in the tv show and decide whether or not his comics counterpart should be considered a main character as well. My list is going to include those characters who should be considered as main characters with a "main" statement and those who shouldn't with a "no" statement
Rick: main character, obviously
Carl: main
Lori: main
Shane: not a main character.
Morgan: no
Andrea: main
Glenn: main
Dale: main
Carol: no
Maggie: main
Hershel: main
Michonne: main
The Governor: main
Tyreese: main
Abraham: main
Eugene: main
Rosita: no
Gabriel: no
Aaron: no
Jessie: NO WAY IN HELL
Spencer: Same as Jessie
Dwight: main
Jesus: main
Gregory: no
Negan: main
Ezekiel: main
Siddiq: no
Magna: no
- Note: The "no" statement is for the characters that simply have done very little, in order for the story to progress, have very little screen time and generally haven't done something very important.
Finally, write down, which characters do you agree with me that shouldn't be considered as main and which characters you don't agree with me and should be considered as main characters.
