Man this series just confuses me. It's a comic, it's a show, it's a game, next it'll be a movie and a novel and a manga and a presidential candidate.
It's already got a novel, actually. The Walking Dead: The Road to Woodbury -- which has a few minor contradictions with the game, like what Lilly Caul's dad is named. In the book, it's Ray Everett Caul. In the games, it's Larry Caul.
Also, I'd vote for it if it was a presidential candidate.

All she does is hate the governor for no apparent reason, and is an established badass without any explanation.
She doesn't trust him. And frankly, why would she? Why would anyone? The living are the most dangerous things in a zombie apocalypse. It brings out the worst in people.
Let's see what happened...
Well, she was held at gunpoint by one of the Governor's henchmen -- Merle, in fact.
She had to decapitate her boyfriend and his best friend -- the two Walkers -- just to try and remain hidden, and had she not done that the Governor probably would've killed them anyway.
The Governor comes back from a journey with a whole convoy of vehicles and some more weapons -- at the expense of a lot of bullets being fired, which really made me facepalm -- and all of those vehicles have bullet holes. With fresh blood oozing out of them.
And he feeds her some bull**** story.
Then there's his agenda where he's trying desperately to keep them all there despite their protests and has them under constant watch.
And his journal which descended from a sane man's thoughts into a madness mantra after the death and subsequent reanimation of his daughter -- or niece, if it holds true to the comics.
At least Michonne managed to keep her head on straight when she lost her boyfriend.
Her not trusting the Governor is in fact a very solid thing. She's been given no reason to believe that the Governor and Woodbury are as trustworthy as they should appear to be.
And I'm sorry, but I didn't realize a person -- in a zombie universe -- was required to give their whole life story, in the middle of an apocalypse when you don't know who you can trust, just to make the people who read/see her feel better about her character.
Especially when for the longest time, this person has been on their own for the whole time.
It's even worse in the comics, she's just an angst mary sue and author's pet. Kirkman goes on bull****ting about how "anyone can die" and kills Glenn to prove a point. Garbage, he won't dare touch Michonne at all.
So because you hate her and wish her dead, Robert Kirkman is automatically at fault because he's not catering to the people that want her dead?
It's true, anyone can die. But the story has to call for it. Death and drama for the sake of death and drama does not make good writing.
It's the opposite.

Yet I cannot stand her and so desperately want her dead on the show. TV Andrea is literally nothing like her comic counterpart.
I'm beginning to despise TV Andrea myself, because she's just... well... coming off like an idiot. I was hoping she'd wise up in Woodbury after her time with Michonne.
But... now I think she's just going to remain the same old dumb blonde who can kick ass.

The governor seems like a very charming man who keeps his inner devils locked away
So it's okay for the Governor to not talk about his past, but Michonne is required to talk about hers?
That seems like a double standard.
And not everyone is trustworthy just because they're not obviously insane. Thomas Richards, for instance, fooled everyone because he came off as not being a threat.
Sure, the Governor's charming. And maybe he's not insane like his comic variant.
That doesn't mean I'd trust him. He's still suspicious.
