Note: spoilers ahead for Fear the Walking Dead.



Apparently inspired by the Game of Thrones outrage earlier this year, fans of Fear the Walking Dead have created a petition begging AMC to fire its showrunners.

Hoping to collect 1,000 signatures, this Change.org petition has already got over 600 at the time of writing.

Showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg receive a lot of grief in the petition, as does Lennie James' crossover character from The Walking Dead, Morgan Jones.

Whether or not most fans agree with it is almost certainly inconsequential, but here is the argument anyway: "Fear the Walking Dead is a shell of what it was. What it was supposed to be. Dave Erickson created an amazing show, only to have his successors Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg completely rebrand it to cater to a new audience."

It continues: "This was a HUGE insult to the original fans and to Dave. Killing Madison off was what started the ultimate downfall of Fear. And yet they managed to top this by killing her off and replacing her with Morgan. The dullest, most irritating and over-saturated character in The Walking Dead universe.

"He's completely neutered the main cast (what's left of them), and spread a pacifist attitude that's made the show lifeless. This is not the Morgan help people show. Morgan is not a lead. This is Madison's show."

"We need a new showrunner," the petition adds. "We need the real Fear back. That can’t happen until AMC fires Chambliss and Goldberg. Sign the petition. Let's get our true show back."

There's plenty more where this came from, but you get the idea. AMC is yet to respond.



Fear the Walking Dead airs on AMC in the US, and on AMC UK in the UK.
