It's perfectly understandable why showrunner Angela Kang and her creative team chose to change the comic layout for how Beta discovered Alpha's death. How Beta Found Alpha And Revealed His Identity In The Comic Book
#Who was beta in the walking dead skin#
Fittingly, he used skin from Alpha's walker head to complete the look. He legitimately smiles as it's happening – he smiles! – and uses the occasion to fully fix up his mask, after Thora Birch's Mary had ripped it during their scuffle.
Not so much as an ego trip, mind you.īeta sets speakers up so that the music is blasting through the nearby area, which draws in a huge crowd of walkers for Beta to lead back to the Whisperers. Instead of smashing it to bits, Beta actually decides to listen to it. After calming down, though, Beta discovered the vinyl for his Live in Concert album recorded in Austin. Not only did he rip the poster off the wall, but he also smashed an acoustic guitar over anything in reach.
Seeing that poster made Beta completely flip out. Especially since Ryan Hurst is only 43 years old, which means he would have still been in his early 30s when he was dubbed a legend playing "one night only" shows. Before Beta found the album that definitively revealed his pre-outbreak identity, he saw a blood-spattered Half Moon poster on the wall advertising a live concert with "the legend himself for one night only," speaking to just how popular the musician was before the shit hit the fan around the globe.
