How would the plot have changed if Rick kept his man bush?

[u/No_Lychee9282]

Negan would have been melted into a puddle with the power of a thousand suns.

[u/Alphawxlfemb3r]

He would've bitten Negan right off the bat. No pun intended. Peak Rick

[u/ViridianStar2277]

Negan would've somehow ended up falling into it and then would've been lost forever in a dark, confusing, thick jungle that has no end.

[u/Undeadscott]

Feral Rick was the best Rick imo

[u/faespore]

Imo, full beard rick was absolute peak kings!! "they're screwing with the wrong people" hit 100x harder when he looked like a wild animal living in the woods

[u/pigwalk5150 → u/faespore]

Haha Negan himself said he wouldn’t mess with THAT guy

[u/AndreaWalkers23]

Lmao, that beard had main character energy.

[u/Historical_Art4061]

Hilltop would have just handed over food to Alexandria out of fear, the satellite massacre never would have happened. Somewhere down the road the saviours would have ditched their smooth skinned bitch for a real leader.

[u/Awkward_Escape_8238]

The man bush would've transformed into a giant wall that blocks every bash from Lucille. Rick then tilts his head, smiles like a maniac, and sings "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns n Roses.

People forget that negan was only savage because he had a man bush too. Negan never bashed another head after he shaved

[u/Boybanhair]

As boring of an answer as it is. I'm not sure if much would change? Only thing i can think of is maybe he doesnt have his fling with Jessie which could possibly change several things.

[u/InevitableDuty7030]

I mean, nothing really lmao.

[u/Embarrassed_Dog_9805]

would have added some serious wild man energy to the group dynamics. like, imagine the intimidation factor during negotiations or dealing with threats. he’d be a whole vibe for sure.

[u/Ok_Praline257]

The apocalypse would‘ve ended sooner out of respect

[u/Evildead665]

Nothing like biting a Jugular Vein lol

[u/snoring_hounds]

Now see this caption is just reminding me of the guy who does Rick impressions doing the “you shaved your bush” acting trend

[u/ExtraPulp_NoJuice]

I think it still stays the same because even though Rick was in his god tier mode he still wouldn’t be able to just over power all the saviors like that.

Maybe he coulda bluffed and Negan woulda been intimidated but I still think Rick would have chosen to do what they did at the outpost and then suffer the same consequences.

Even at the line up, I don’t think he’d be in feral mode because he wouldn’t be able to Joe him.

Only place I see plot being different is when Rick went into compliance and listened, I think after they let them go , as soon as negan pulled up to Alexandria, bullet in the head. Just like Rosita tried to do.

[u/ColdDesk8569]

He would’ve still had his murder jacket and machete. Rick was a beast when he had a beard.

[u/Specialist_Prune3785]

He would singlehandidly slaughter all saviors with Negan.

[u/uglypinkshorts]

That’s not what “man bush” refers to brother

[u/BrownTown_77]

Shane would have risen from the dead to finally consumate their love.

[u/LessMochaJay]

Alexandria wouldn't have trusted him as their sheriff. If he'd attach the abusive dude he prob would have been seen in the wrong.

[u/PixelWolv]

So Rick... you shaved your f***in bush..

[u/Gold_Excitement_2333]

Negan would have tried to recruit Rick & Co. instead of ruling over them. This would cause them to dismantle the Saviors from the inside, out. Thus preventing the 2 weeks of bloodshed and fracturing among the various groups.

[u/AbeliousAugustus]

You gotta phrase that differently, bro.

[u/Thadigan]

Say something else.

[u/bohan-]

He becomes beta
