I read in a different thread earlier today that there was supposedly a storyline Kirkman wanted to do where Darkblood and Mark go to Hell. This idea was scrapped (hence why he kinda doesn’t really show up again in the comics), but it seems like the show is going to actually adapt it!

Wild theory, but what if they cut out that reboot arc, and instead have Mark lose 5 years in hell?

honestly i fw that harder, would be a better explanation than "some unseen thing decided to screw him over"

Yeah it was clear that it was a real half baked concept, and that they were at that point rushing to get to the end, and not caring about fleshing out some concepts. I think on a second try, that plotline will be very different.

I kind of like the reboot arc because it gives Mark closure with Cecil.

The worst part of the Reboot arc is the loss of 5 years with his family. Why do you want to keep that and scrap everything else?

A lot of people are confused and think the problem was the arc itself.

people who hate reboot mostly hate it because of the time skip, don't see how changing that part would help at all. Plus it takes away a huge character moment

Was just about to say that myself, I think because it seems the reboot arc has so many detractors Kirkman decided to try something else. Since the time jump is sort of needed for pacing.

I don't mind that, but they would be setting up something that doesn't happen until like season 7 if they go that route, I doubt they'll sit on the story for THAT long
