The Walking Dead season 11 saw justice for Rick Grimes delivered with the Sebastian Walking Dead death, which mirrored the character's comic book fate. Unlike in the comics, however, Sebastian does not survive and is fed to zombies by Eugene. This changes The Walking Dead's ending thematically and also sets it on a different path from the comics. Pamela Milton becomes the main human antagonist after Sebastian's death and is defeated, with the focus of the finale returning to the battle against the zombie hoard. The Walking Dead has evolved over the years, but the satisfying finale feels like a return to the show's roots.
