While I get your point and agree that it would have made it more interesting, Carl wasn’t likable, which is needed for a moral core character. And the second season was a huge let down, so it was slow road downhill before Carl left.
Oh, yeah I agree with both your points. Basically for anyone who liked the comics in some ways it just strayed further and further from the light.
Rick is supposed to be the one whose moral integrity is central whereas Carl more represents the one whose moral integrity he is trying to protect. But I think the show needed Rick’s morality to be way less ambiguous than it was in the original.
