They seem to follow the comic, but change the characters that certain things happen to. For instance, in the comic, it was Abraham that got the arrow through the eye while talking. In the comic, Rick is fucking Andrea (who is the bad-ass sharp shooter) and Michonne is/was fucking the leader of another settlement who had dreadlocks and a pet tiger in the comic. But on TV, Andrea is long dead and Michonne is fucking Rick. There are a lot of similar instances. Also, having Daryl on the TV show but not the comic means there has to be some differences.

From the preview for the season finale, they gave Negan his trusty barbed-wire bat "Lucille". I'm guessing, unlike the comic, he won't be saying fuck every-other-fucking-word (A pretty safe bet). So, a major character is going to die when they finally show Negan, but they might pick a different character than the one who got killed in the comic.

Oh yea that do the comic almost panel by panel. Weird hearing Negan not saying "fuck" but it works. Lucille + Glenn = Must watch.

Yeah, IF they follow the comic. In the comic, it was Abraham that got the arrow through the eye though. In the comic, it was Dale who had his leg eaten while he was yelling "tainted meat".

It does follow the comic pretty much, but sometimes they change WHO something happens to. They have to know that there are a lot of people that know Glen gets killed in the comic, so if they have any sense, they'll choose someone else to kill off to surprise people.

We'll see.

The ending was leaked earlier in the week. They even shout his name as he's being bashed. Negan says everything almost word for word minus fuck and it's many variations. He does say shit a lot.
We have to wait how many months until we find out who REALLY met Lucille???



My money is on Daryl...

"Ok. Norman Reedus, you're gonna die, but we'll give you your own show"

If you rewatch the ending Glenn was the only one not shown when Negan went quiet but was still pointing the bat. That ending just backs me up on why I quit the show after season 2.

Now, Rick knows their true number. He has already killed almost half of them.

My fault for reading the comic. But it kind of sucks knowing what's going to happen. I was glad to see they didn't give Abraham the arrow through the eye, and changed it from the comic.

I really hope they pick someone else. Glenn getting killed wouldn't be as big of an impact on the show as Michonne, Daryl, Carl, Rick, or Maggie getting killed. Obviously, Rick is safe though.

In the comic there was a huge storyline called "All Out War" that resolved the whole Negan thing. If anyone is interested in reading it.

I think it should be Glen, to stick with the storyline. BUT.....we are talking about this big money maker for AMC. Glen is very popular with the viewers as is Daryl. Kill either of them and they risk losing viewers. Lost viewers equals lost money. I'm willing to bet that they kill Abraham. He's already dead in the comics and he just went through a breakup, started a new relationship, questioned someone else about starting a family, and then finally decided to be trusting enough to really try again. Taking him out would create a dramatic impact on two of the female characters and be enough of a shock by taking out a main character without running off a lot of viewers.

Just my thinking. But I think it should be Glen.

My money is on Eugene getting the bat...lol. He's already given Rick the instructions to bullet making, and said his piece with Abraham, so he's done...right?

If we've learned anything from Star Trek, whoever got the beatdown had a red shirt on.

If it wasn't red before, it was red after.

We know it was a guy that big bad Negan killed but I hope it wasn't Glenn he has grown on me but if they are sticking to the comics, Glenn is out of there!!
