For a show that started out with such a small, tight-knit cast, too many characters for audiences to keep straight. Not only is the ing cast too large to even count, but the main cast is no longer comprised of a small group of people just trying to survive the apocalypse together.
Now that the acclaimed zombie drama has grown and evolved, the characters have been split into different communities. This means that they are all very different, as they have separate goals and motives. The main characters of The Walking Dead are very different people than the survivors at the Atlanta camp in season 1. Though they have some interesting and compelling qualities, some fans find a few of their traits rather irritating and distracting.
Daryl: Immaturity
The choice to have Daryl lead The Walking Dead in a perfect leader, but Daryl's track record wasn't much better. This is the same character that took off into the woods and lived like a hermit for six years following Rick's disappearance.
Daryl's immaturity has arisen as an issue many times throughout the series, from causing tragedies such as Glenn's death, to resulting in the failure of the Sanctuary community in season 9. Though Daryl's season 10 arc is an improvement, he has never been the most emotionally stable character.
Carol: Her "Mask"
Carol's storyline has revolved around every other tragedy that would befall her afterward - Carol created a mask of sorts for herself.
This tendency to hide behind a facade stemmed from her selflessness but served to hinder her storylines in some infamous ways. Fans need the OG Carol back, and the writers need to let off with the torturing of this character.
Eugene: Cowardice
Eugene has definitely grown since his introduction in The Walking Dead's fourth season. However, he is, in many ways, still the same Eugene that tricked Abraham and Rosita into towing him around with illusions of a cure.
Eugene is much braver than he was, but his cowardice sneaks up and manifests in different ways. For instance, it was fear that caused him to keep his feelings for Rosita secret for nearly a decade.
Rosita: Indecisiveness
Rosita's character went through a metamorphosis after Abraham's death in season 7. Unfortunately, she didn't change for the better at first; in fact, she ed Sasha on a suicide mission to take out Negan but managed to get out alive.
In season 9, Rosita was the target of a love quadrangle; she captured the romantic interests of Siddiq, Father Gabriel, and Eugene. However, Rosita was torn between the men, had an affair with Siddiq while also developing a thing with Gabriel, and then gave birth to Siddiq's child. It seemed to be only after Siddiq's death in season 10, that Rosita decided to settle for Gabriel.
Negan: Overdoing It
Negan is a character who is tolerable in small doses for many fans, but when an episode primarily focuses on him and his rather rambling monologues, the mystique and charm of the characters wears off pretty quickly.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan is undeniably fun to watch in his portrayal of Negan, and he's one of the strongest actors on the show. But the crew has had Negan fever ever since the villain's introduction in season 6, so after several seasons of listening to Negan's over the top speeches, the character is bound to get tedious.
Alpha: Pretentious Speeches
Alpha was definitely a her purpose perfectly as an antagonist.
The most annoying thing about Alpha was the melodrama that surrounded her. While Samantha Morton's portrayal was iconic, many of Alpha's lines were drenched in pretentiousness that hearkened back to the Gimple era of the series.
Beta: Blindly Praising Alpha
Beta was another great antagonist introduced in The Walking Dead's ninth season and Whisperer era. Ryan Hurst played off the aura of ambiguity that surrounded Beta masterfully, but as menacing as the character is, the show, of course, managed to make him just a little bit annoying.
Beta went from being a solely independent figure to following Alpha around and being her loyal right-hand man pretty quickly. He seemed to lose the ability to think for himself after meeting her, and her death in the episode "Walk With Us" sent him into a downward spiral.
Aaron: Letting The War Get The Better Of Him
Aaron is a beloved character in the Walking Dead fandom and is known for his good nature. As he stated to Michonne, he'd been "keeping his cool" all his life, and that's what made fans fall in love with him upon his first appearance in season 5.
Following Jesus's death in season 9, Aaron began to go down a dark path fueled by his need for revenge against the Whisperers. What's most annoying about Aaron right now is his mission for vengeance, which just doesn't feel right for his character.
Ezekiel: Not Being Himself
Ezekiel, like his former partner, Carol, is very skilled in putting on a facade in order to cope with post-apocalyptic life. However, Ezekiel's facade became a character in itself; the King, which has now become something of a joke on the show.
Ezekiel is an incredibly endearing and important character, and it's too bad he didn't drop his King act a bit earlier so fans could have gotten to know him better before the show comes to an end.
Father Gabriel: Arrogance
Father Gabriel has gone through some notable changes since his first appearance in season 5 episode 2, "Strangers". The cowardly priest's evolution involved him losing his religious roots and becoming a certified TWD badass.
However, Gabriel's new status didn't exactly make him a likable character. In fact, many thought that he took his new leadership position a bit too far and often acts arrogant in recent Walking Dead season.
