What is your opinion/feelings towards Negan?

I hate him so much! Hes that sort of person that you have to tread extremely carefully around, and even the slightest mistake could get your head bludgeoned in. Everything about him I hate! He's just so smug and proud and thinks that everybody will bow down to him, and they do! Buuuuuuut.... Jeffrey does and extremely good job in portraying him.

Welcome guys! Spoilers below in transparent:

Negan is so evil, isn't he? haha I just hate it that Olivia almost died just because of two guns, but this episode was definitely more chill than the last ones. Although I'm worried about Rosita, I don't want her to do anything stupid but who knows.

What Rick said at the again about Shane is pretty much what we all knew already, but he never made that get to him. ^^

To be honest, I love and appreciate Negans humor, and hes actually pretty hot though. He does piss me off, especially in last nights episode. which frustrated me greatly.

It makes me vastly....uncomfortable... that people are actually attracted to Negan's personality when they watch the show.
Primarily because he is extremely manipulative and a relationship with someone who shared those traits would almost certainly be abusive. It sort of creeps me out that people are drawn to people who are that manipulative, even when that person has made their true colors absolutely clear.

I guess I'm just speaking as someone who has seen abuse and is now very aware of it...But still...

I don't think people like that big part of his personality, maybe that he's just a very intriguing rival. He's definitely scary for sure, but knowing that the actor is an amazing fellow just refreshes fans a bit.

To respond to both this as well as nerd.'s question about our feelings towards Negan, from what I've seen, fans are often (though not always) polarized in their opinion of him depending on whether or not they've read the comics. I personally really love Negan--like he is probably my favorite character in the comics--but then, that's because I read the comics and got to know that version of him before we saw too much of him in the show.

While I think JDM is pretty much the perfect Negan, and I'm having a great time with the slightly over-the-top, animated quality he's bringing to the character, the writing is what's bothering me a bit. In the comics at least, Negan, on several occasions, makes it very clear that he absolutely detests sexual violence--in fact, he isn't all to fond of violence in general, believe it or not--but in the show, to hear him say that would only make him sound like a hypocrite because of how he manipulated Sherry into becoming one of his wives by threatening her and Dwight. In the comic, though, it was her choice; Negan never threatened her, he only promised that she wouldn't have to ever work if she "married" him, and she willingly chose the easy way out. So Negan was pretty much just Sherry's post-apocalyptic sugar daddy.

I've just been really trying to understand why they would choose to change that about Negan in the TV show when imo having at least some kind of strong moral foundation, no matter how warped it might seem, is one of the things that made Negan a really interesting character in the comics... Only thing I can think is that maybe they wanted to make him seem like more of a jerk, which also doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, because I get the feeling that he's supposed to be a kind of charismatic villain, even if you hate to admit it... So then maybe they wanted to make Dwight more sympathetic, but again, I don't think it's really necessary; I think Dwight already becomes complex and likable enough with time...

Anywho, with that out of the way... I've been really enjoying this season so far, but last night's episode in particular was honestly one of my favorite Walking Dead episodes of all time, probably... I had been really looking forward to seeing Ezekiel and Shiva in the show, and they looked awesome as expected; Khary Payton really delivered... Then it was such a trip seeing the Saviors trying their hardest to break Daryl, and him still remaining defiant despite it all... but wow, last night's episode was so much fun! [ I was so happy that Negan got most of his lines from the comic lol. Then the screentime for Rosita and Father Gabriel was great; they're some of my favorite side characters. Rosita is kind of scaring me, though... I really hope she doesn't do anything too rash... I feel like they might be gearing up to give her Holly's comic arc, so if that ends up happening, I hope she at the very least won't get the same death. On the bright side, though, I think we'll see some nice scenes when she gets Eugene to make her "a bullet"--just one, apparently lmao. ]
