As his Love and Monsters film recently became available for on demand viewing, Rooker caught up with ComicBook. He bluntly and gracefully explained why a brief return to Merle Dixon would not be something of any interest to him as he continues to grow with other new roles. I'm being honest, I would not. The reason behind it is simple. Rooker wants to play characters with potential for growth.
This is the same unique meth that only Walter White was capable of manufacturing in Breaking Bad. Perhaps this was a deliberate attempt by the writers to make viewers speculate that both shows were set in the same universe.
They are both AMC productions after all. Merle is the first living character in The Walking Dead to have an amputation. Other living characters that have also had an amputation include The Governor, Hershel, and Aaron. Unlike the other characters, Merle's amputation is unassisted. He had to amputate his own hand by cutting it off with a hacksaw in order to escape from an Atlanta rooftop when the survivors leave him behind.
Like Aaron's prosthetic arm that he sometimes attaches morning star to , Merle's prosthetic hand looked similar in appearance. The only difference was that he preferred to have a bayonet attached to his.
The former antagonist changes firearms more times than any other character on the show. In fact, he rarely uses the same gun across episodes.
Given his military background, this makes total sense. The first guns he is seen using the series are the Winchester Model 70 and the Browning Hi-Power, which he fires from the top of a roof. The last gun he handles before his death is the Mk. Merle was the initial owner of Daryl Dixon's first motorcycle, though he never rides it in the series. Daryl leaves the Triumph behind when the group manages to escape from the prison.
However, Daryl's Jax Teller mannerisms don't die after the motorcycle is abandoned. That truck-through-the-fence thing? That's just him ringing the doorbell.
We might have some thick walls to hide behind, but he's got the guns and the numbers. And if he takes the high ground around this place, shoot, he could just starve us out if he wanted to. Maggie Greene : Let's put him in the other cell block!
Daryl Dixon : No. He's gotta point. Beth Greene : What's the difference whose fault it is? What do we do? Hershel Greene : I said we should leave. Now, Axel's dead. We can't just sit here. Hershel Greene : You're slipping, Rick. We've all seen it, we understand why. But now is not the time! You once said this isn't a democracy. Daryl Dixon : You hear that? Merle Dixon : Yeah. Wild animals gettin' wild. Daryl Dixon : No, that's a baby. Merle Dixon : Oh come on, why don't you just piss in my ear and tell me it's raining.
