The Walking Dead (Season 7)

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 7)

Got a bunch of sociopaths in here rooting for the Saviors.

This season has been a chore to watch. Every episode seems to be cramming in as many cringe power scenes for Negan as possible. We get it. He's a scumbag. We get it. He has personality. But man the character just chews the scenery off the damn screen.

And that's not a knock on the actor. He has portrayed Negan about as well as you can based on the comic. Negan never resonated with me as I read the comic. So this whole story arch as just been a dud for me.

Watching the not Negan group get wrecked week after week is just not interesting. And flat out draining.

I totally disagree, Negan's character is the only reason I am still watching this show.
I think you are letting your not liking his character in the comics ruin his character on the show.

His character isn't ruining the show for me. The story theyre telling and the amount of episodes they're using to tell it is ruining the show for me.

I'm hoping the mid season finale is the turning point and we can begin the whole fighting back thing. I've had enough of this "woah look how awesome Negan is" and "look how ****ed the Rick group is". I want conflict.

I will slowly take back everything bad I said about Father Gabriel if he continues like this.

"What you said doesn't make you a sinner. It just makes you a tremendous piece of ****. Let's hope it's not terminal."

The pacing for this first-half of the season is definitely out of whack. There hasn't been any real progression.

I am 50% more into you now.

Hahahahaha.

Also loved when he told Carl “You do the same damn stink eye as your dad, except it's only half as good because, well you know, you're missing an eye. Lol Just wrong

Underrated scene, Negan is chilling with Carl on the porch, and a person walks by and, Negan says you wanna grill out neighbor, or something like that, I laughed so hard.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 7)

Negan is a sociopath and rapist. But I get it. This show has so few good actors, when a damn good one grabs one by the horns, it's invigorating.

He's exactly the type of bad guy a series like this should have. He's actually one of the few people on the show that makes sense as a survivor. Most of the others would be dead in real life.

But this season has been awful. He's the only interesting thing about it. This fragmented storytelling decision has made episodes unbearable. Why are we spending 60 minutes (sometimes more!) on one place every episode?

I get what they are doing but I don't know if it was the right choice.

If ever a show needed an end point, this is one except it also doesn't make sense for the type of show it is. It's just dragging on too many storylines.

I wish they would move faster.

Also lol at Carl not shooting Negan. Absolutely awful writing. He's quick to fire at everyone else but wouldn't shoot the guy he hates most? What kind of crap is that? Don't write scenes that make zero sense. If he's not going to kill Negan because he's afraid then he should not kill anyone else.

I wish I could stop watching this series.

They do this for the first 3-4 episodes of every season. They spend an entire episode with each part of the fragmented group.

Completely agree. Carl shoots 2 people "I just want Neegan, no one else has to die." Negan shows up, Carl does nothing. This stuff with showing opportunities for characters to kill Negan but won't is infuriating.

I'm hard on the show but I watch it every week so clearly it still grabs me.

I like it way more often than I don't. Some of the writing and scenarios are just laughable though.

This is in every TV show and movie ever. The person catches who they want (bad guy catches good guy usually)and then they just riff on it. The Incredibles actually made this part of the plot. If you're going to go get something done, don't stand around and watch or talk, do it. It never works out in the long run.

It's a trope that always looks bad. But there's a solution. Don't let him take out random red shirts and then suddenly lose his balls.

And for Negan to like the kid after that? It comes off as Negan is relieved Carl is an idiot.

Anyway, I'm in agreement. Just bothers me when there's easy ways for writers to avoid the dumb decisions they make. They could have even saved money by doing it right.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 7)

This show is really starting to suck now. JDM could not be a worse cast for Negan.

Not only this, but we just learned that the dude offed every male over 10 of a group of survivors, he bashed in multiple peoples heads and laughed while doing it, this kid shows up shoots a bunch of his people, and Negan basically does nothing, takes him home, idk just seems like for the sake of getting to whatever it is they are getting to, they are suspending the very traits they've told us about Negan.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 7)

You guys need to turn your brain off when watching Negan and his antics. Can't bring logic and reason to any part of this saga. You'll just end up annoyed and/or angry.

Just sit there and be cringed out or stroke off whenever Negan is chewing the scenery in every single one of his scenes.
