How Fear The Walking Dead Fans Are Reacting To The Death Of Morgan Jones

The Fear the Walking Dead community on Reddit had a lot to say after the episode concluded. User My_Immortal_Flesh came right out of the gate, calling Morgan "exhausting" and "too dramatic" for their tastes, however, they made sure to mention that "I'm so glad he's a new Morgan now cuz I'm tired of him constantly telling people to leave him to die, and then he changes his mind after a character sacrifices themselves to save him." In the same thread, user CRL10 chimed in with their optimistic two cents, stating: "I would like to see Morgan find a balance between his 'Clear' mentality of killing a whole bunch of people with his need to help everyone." This would be a very interesting dynamic to demonstrate, thus bringing Morgan's previous mindsets together into one, balanced modality. 

Many fans praiseed the episode as a whole. One comment called it "one the best [Fear the Walking Dead] episodes that they made," while another boldly claim that "If FTD stays in this lane it will surpass TWD quickly." This is quite a dramatic shift, considering how maligned the previous two seasons were. Perhaps Morgan isn't the only one undergoing a much-needed change of pace.

However, not everyone is sold on this "new" direction for Morgan, as evidenced by Redditor UltraInstinct51. They expressed that this attempted change in his mentality isn't anything new, commenting that "Idk why people are acting like this was a huge shift for his character... it's the exact same bs once again." This comment does bring about an interesting perspective, citing this attempt at reinventing Morgan as more of the same. Time will tell just how true his supposed "death" turns out to be, as the sixth season continues unfolding.
