Teach them all the Way! Versus We'd do this to anyone!

We have two very dangerous people in the world of The Walking Dead. However, the question is, Who is Deadliest? To be honest, I think the biggest factor is in how these two operate.

Let's look at Joe and his Claimers. They operate much like a wolf pack - they travel around, actively hunting, and fighting anyone who enters their territory. This gives them an edge in combat experience, and even brutality. After they kill someone, they strip him of everything, weapons, food, all of it.

Now, let's look at Gareth and his Terminants. In many ways, they remind me of a spider and its web - the spider sits and waits, until the fly gets caught in the web, before jumping into action, and ensnaring the fly even more, before eating them. This gives them an edge in intelligence - why leave, when you can make the prey come to you? Once the prey has entered the proverbial web, that's when the Terminants spring their trap.

However, there's one important flaw in Gareth's operation - the facade of a peaceful town. Joe's not going to drop his guns, as it were. Before the Terminants can get a chance to offer some of the "good-looking meat", Joe and his Claimers will be "teaching them all the way!" After all, while a gun hiding under the desk you're sitting at is nice, just in case, having one already in your hands is even better, regardless of any other factors. In short, Gareth and his people will be caught off guard, and that's before they can get to their weapons.
