The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon
Warning : spoilers in the lead for Daryl Dixon season 2 , episode 5 .
The enfranchisement is n’t known for hold back theatrical role around very long , butThe Walking Dead : Daryl Dixonhas accomplish the impressive feat of burning through three freestanding villains in time of year 2 alone . Most seasons ofThe Walking Dead ’s main series would time in around the 16 - installment mark , but since time of year 12 plans were replaced by a strand ofThe Walking Deadspinoff shows , the measure has been six episode per time of year forDaryl Dixon , Dead City , andThe Ones Who last .
Naturally , the truncated distance of each time of year has limited each spinoff ’s power to freshen its villains as regularly asThe walk Deadused to . Themain villain throughoutDaryl Dixonseason 1 was Genet , Dead Cityseason 1 had the Croat ( who was revealed as a follower of the more powerful Dama , but only in the finis ) , and the bighearted bad ofThe 1 Who LivewasTerry O’Quinn ’s Major General Beale . Daryl Dixonseason 2 ignores that format , batting an telling average of one scoundrel every two instalment .
Daryl Dixon Season 2 Switched From Genet As A Main Villain To Losang
Villain Switch 1: Genet To Losang
Season 2 began very much asDaryl Dixonseason 1 ended , with Pouvoir Du Vivant leader Genet gunning for Daryl and his ally at the Nest . The spinoff initially commit to sticking with Genet as its main villain , revealing her backstory through a series of pre - outbreak flashbacks , and add more deepness to her type through illuminating conversation with Carol that explicate her motivations and psychological science more fully .
Joel de la Fuente ’s character standing as the sole main villain when credit undulate on episode 4 is not an outcome many would have prognosticate .
In a surprisal plait , Genet only answer asDaryl Dixonseason 2 ’s principal scoundrel for the first four episodes , good manners of Carol and a well - placed flit of variant serum . That Genet would die at some point could have been predicted in advance , especially after confirmation thatDaryl Dixonseason 3will move onto Spain , but Genet conk out two full episodes before season 2 ’s end was the real stupor . As the story ’s overarching fountain of vino - flavor evil , Genet looked specify to at least attend around until Daryl start France .

With Daryl and Carol formally reuniting in time of year 2 of The Walking Dead ’s European - put spinoff , season 3 looks set for a slew of major variety .
Instead , the net scene ofDaryl Dixonseason 2 ’s fourth episode promoted Losang into the vacant main antagonist spot . Seeds for the switch had already been sow - Losang openly criticized Daryl ’s posture in episode 1 , and his plot to use Laurent as a ceremonial forfeit was a rather overt sign of his increase wickedness in episode 3 . At first , Daryl Dixonlooked to be teasing Losang as Genet ’s new best friend in the hunt for Laurent , so Joel de la Fuente ’s character stand as the sole independent scoundrel when credits roll on installment 4 was not the outcome many would have predict .
It Looks Like Jacinta Will Be Daryl Dixon Season 2’s Real Final Villain
Villain Switch 2: Losang To Jacinta
Switching from Genet to Losang at the last of instalment 4 was surprising , butDaryl Dixonseason 2 sends further shockwaves by switching from Losang to a all different role at the end of episode 5 . After Daryl repeatedly clatters him with a human skull , Losang is very belike dead , and if not , he wo n’t be swing his staff around any time soon . The dying moments ofDaryl Dixonseason 2 ’s penultimate episode then show Jacinta , Losang ’s 2d - in - control , gingerly regaining cognizance after Codron chivalrously decides against land up her off .
Jacinta was tempt Losang from the phantasm and whispering poison in his capitulum .
The fit where Jacinta budge provides a very strong indicant that she is nowDaryl Dixonseason 2 ’s third , and presumably net , major scoundrel . With one more installment still to amount in season 2,Daryl Dixonstill needs an enemy scourge - the finale would be a rather uneventful 50 minutes if Daryl ’s biggest trouble was work out out how to go four passengers onto Ash ’s plane . Jacinta must , therefore , be promote to the once - again - empty main villain berthat the beginning ofDaryl Dixonseason 2 ’s final episode , cement her as the third big badness in only six episode .
In a post-apocalyptic France, the series follows Daryl Dixon as he navigates the complexities of a new landscape. Separated from his familiar world, Daryl faces unexpected challenges and forges new alliances while confronting the lingering threats of a walker-infested reality.
Daryl Dixon encounter a major plane quandary in time of year 2 of his The walk Dead spinoff serial , but he really should have seen it coming .
As disgraceful as that may be , Jacinta ’s rapid climb from small-scale pain to supervillain surely did not get out of nowhere . Long beforethe Union shop Daryl Dixon , it became clear that Jacinta was influencing Losang from the shadows and whisper poison in his ear . shadowed but cunning , Jacinta touted Daryl as a bad influence , advance Losang to continue with Laurent ’s rite , and even went behind her loss leader ’s back in an attempt to assassinate Daryl and his allies .
What Jacinta Taking Over Means For Daryl Dixon Season 2’s Finale
There Are Pros & Cons To Daryl Dixon Season 2’s Final, Final, Final Villain
From one perspective , Jacinta was always doom to becomeDaryl Dixonseason 2 ’s final boss . The drawback is that audiences know virtually nothing about her . Daryl Dixondug deeply into Genet ’s yesteryear to give Anne Charrier ’s character a fleshed - out backstory , while season 2 spent enough clip exploring Losang ’s conflict , deteriorating morals to make the Union ’s corrupt leader compelling . Jacinta , however , stay a mystery story , andDaryl Dixonseason 2 ’s last may not have enough meter to shift that . There is a real risk that , without any real insight into why she ’s doing what she ’s doing , Jacinta will feel hollow as a last villain .
Jacinta looks far more likely to come after Genet and Losang intoThe Walking Dead ’s hall of deceased baddie .
In term of where Jacinta goes next , Losang ’s expiry does minuscule to change her delegation . Despite Daryl and Codron ’s best efforts , plenty of soldier in the Pouvoir - Union alliance stay on , including Genet ’s former lieutenant . Jacinta , meanwhile , is unbelievable to have dislodge from her goal of capturing Laurent . The Union still seems convinced that the prodigal teen is some kind of messiah , and Pouvoir is , for reason that are n’t entirely clean-cut , going along with that notion . Losang and Genet may be dead , butas long as Laurent stay on on Gallic soil , any villains still breathing will trail him .
If AMC had n’t already reassert thatDaryl Dixonwill relocate from France to Spain in time of year 3 , one might have assumed that Jacinta was being primed for a large role in the next run of episodes - that time of year 2 ’s finale was just the beginning of a bigger journey for her . Because Spain is affirm as Daryl and Carol ’s next stop , Jacinta appear far more potential to follow Genet and Losang intoThe walk Dead ’s Radclyffe Hall of deceased villain .
Norman Reedus ( Daryl ) and Melissa McBride ( Carol ) and the only current cast members substantiate to return forDaryl Dixonseason 3 .
The fact thatDaryl Dixon ’s French plot line is chop-chop coming to an end puddle Losang ’s death in episode 5 even more surprising . Sticking with the familiar facial expression - the one audiences have more investment in - would have perhaps made for a more meaningful last opponent for Daryl . Instead , it appearsThe Walking Dead : Daryl Dixonseason 2 ’s ending will throw its system of weights behind a character who has barely featured until now , and is almost certain to be missing when season 3 ’s Spanish adventure begins .
