kj4ever March 5, 2015 Share March 5, 2015 Initial thoughts on Aiden? He is really a walking cliche so I hope the writers don't peg him into that whole spoiled rich frat boy category as I can see some interesting things that can come from his character. I don't think he's evil - he did seem genuinely sorry when he told Noah he was sorry about his Father. If Mama is overthrown I think we might see a more leaning to the evil side....He would not give up power so easily and seems like the type that would view Alexandria as his birth right.

editorgrrl March 5, 2015 Share March 5, 2015 At least he's self-aware: Look, I can be a hardass—and I know I'm a douchebag. Someone's got to call the ball around here and that someone is me. If you're on this crew, you do exactly as I say. We know his mother represented Ohio in Congress and his father's an architect. Aiden went to college and was in ROTC. He expressed remorse when Noah said he'd lost his dad, and added "I'm sorry a lot these days." But even his mother knows Aiden deserves to get punched. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23103-aiden-hes-a-douche-and-proud-of-it/#findComment-894966
Nashville March 5, 2015 Share March 5, 2015 Methinks Aiden aspires to true douchedom, but he's not quite there yet. Aiden is not a wholly realized individual, comfortable in his own skin - the vibe I get off him is he sees himself as an actor playing a role. I think Aiden wants to see himself - and be seen by others - like Vin Diesel in the "Pitch Black" movies; extremely experienced, capable and confident, few may like him but everybody respects him. Unfortunately, Aiden is none of these things at present - he's an immature overgrown kid with a gun whom nobody would give the time of day if Mommy wasn't the Mayor of Mayberry. He's the kid who wants to be seen as having Worked His Way To The Top, but his version of "Work" consists of Daddy (or Mommy in this case) giving him a starter supervisor/manager position in the family business - with a monster salary, virtually no duties or responsibilities to earn it, and minimal chance to damage the Company. Unfortunately, however, Aiden managed to screw even THAT up - if our hypotheses are correct and he got several people killed under his watch. Aiden believes, however, that if he ACTS confident and capable long enough, he will eventually BECOME confident and capable - not an uncommon fallacy among the immature manboys of the species. I don't think he is truly mean-hearted yet, but the "revenge zombie" bit indicates he is slipping that way fast. And giving him power when he's not yet mature enough to deal with it is a recipe for disaster. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23103-aiden-hes-a-douche-and-proud-of-it/#findComment-895233

However, it would also likely make people think you are a lying liar who lies, so probably not a great way to convince people that anything you said was true. She strikes me as trying to convince them to trust her, so saying she was in congress if she wasn't wouldn't be a good bet. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23103-aiden-hes-a-douche-and-proud-of-it/#findComment-898942

Nashville March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 Aiden was beginning to come around and was ready to listen/learn from Glen. In the end, he owned up to his cowardice. That's what I disliked the most. It was obvious pre-ZA Aiden had accumulated several layers of fratboy douchedom; given time and some good role models (*cough* Glenn *cough*), however, he showed definite potential to be a decent, capable human being. Guess we'll never know, though. At least he went out with a strong nod to the classics (George Romero). 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23103-aiden-hes-a-douche-and-proud-of-it/#findComment-935497
CletusMusashi March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 He wasn't listening to Glenn about escape routes, that's for sure. Honestly, I think he deliberately chose the front door because it was more dangerous. Easier to get some of those meddling new people killed! Sure, once he was impaled and wanted Glenn to save him, then he stopped acting like a deliberate asshole. That's not character development. That's just begging for your life. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23103-aiden-hes-a-douche-and-proud-of-it/#findComment-935663
