Michonne why two zombies

I guess this question would be directed more towards the comic book fans, since the best answer in the show has been "they deserved what they got, they weren't human to begin with". Other that that she always clams up at the subject.

I have my theories, but because she is so reluctant to reveal anything about herself it's really difficult to put any stock in those theories In the comics, the two "pet" walkers are identified as Michonne's boyfriend Mike and his best friend Terry. As explained in The Walking Dead Wiki :. In the early stages of the apocalypse, Michonne runs on foot to her house.

This attracts a street full of zombies to follow her. While she arrives home, she meets her boyfriend, Mike and his brave but idiotic best friend, Terry.

A zombie tries to break in but Mike kills it. In the process, Mike becomes bitten. At that time, Michonne bandages Mike, who is unaware that he is infected. That night, Michonne searches a neighbor's house for supplies and discovers her trademark sword. She gets pinned down in the house during the night and returns home the next day, finding that both Mike and Terry have become walkers. She manages to survive their attack and lock them away. Her noisy encounter causes her street to become overrun.

Michonne becomes trapped and runs out of food. She notices walkers don't attack one another and hacks off the arms and lower jaws of Mike and Terry.

She chains them up by their necks to use them as escorts for an escape that was successful. Michonne says her final words to the zombified Mike and Terry, to help remember who they are, and because she has no one to talk to.

In the TV show, the "pet" walkers are again identified as Mike and Terry. After returning from a supply run, she returns home to find that both Mike and his friend Terry have turned into walkers. She's able to lock the two away, but her house becomes surrounded by walkers and she's trapped. Because she notices that walkers don't attack each other, she hacks off Mike and Terry's arms and lower jaws and chains them up in order to escape her home.

Having success with that, she kept them around to serve that purpose until she hooked up with Rick and his group and had more articulate sources of protection. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly , Danai Gurira revealed that her pets on the TV series were connected to Michonne's past, but she didn't go into detail as to whether they had the same back story as in the comics.

Shortly thereafter, in an episode of the TV series, Michonne told Andrea that the men who became her pet walkers deserved what they got because "they weren't human to begin with. Walking Dead Wiki.
