    It seems that the fanbase is almost split 50/50 on whether or not they like Negan or not. For 50%, he’s a complex character that’s been developed incredibly well from a brutal villain to a morally grey anti-hero, and for the other 50%, he’s the man that killed Glenn. Well, this 50/50 rule may not exactly be true anymore, I feel like it’s more like 70% like him and 30% hate him, but this switch only happened for these 20% of people because of the episode Here’s Negan.

      @El Gaucho I still remember the day I met Jeffrey at a con in Portland. Finally meeting the phenomenal actor in person that played the man who killed 2 of my favorite characters as certainly an eye opener for how good of a person he is irl. Of course I know he didn’t ACTUALLY murder 2 people but man was it hard to not see him and immediately remember his performance lol.

      It’s definitely inspired, because I for one, would’ve never thought of him when reading the comics. He looks nothing like comic Negan, and I had the attitude a bit differently in my head. But well, that’s why I’m not a casting director I suppose, because JDM pulled it off way better than what I was picturing.

      The only other thing that maybe makes sense would be if she tied her hands so that she couldn't panic and take the bag off her head. Due to the time involved in ending her suffering via a means like that: it could make it harder to execute the task, even if she's totally & all the way sure-sure of her choice.
      But even so, idk how she could tie herself up well enough to not be able to get it done in the panic, or put the bag on after that in the first place! 😬

    Here's Negan was so good. It doesn't try so much to make you forgive him (Negan) for what he did, but more make you understand him. He's a complicated character with morals. On another note, you should make a video on Four Walls and a Roof. One of the most messed up episodes, with a great conclusion to what No Sanctuary set up.

    Tales of The Walking Dead should really have just been a backstory for all the villains. The Governor, The Claimers, Terminus, The Wolves, Negan, The Whisperers and hell even The Commonwealth. All these villains deserve more than a singular episode explaining their backstory, yet some only had 3-5 minute flashbacks.

    They could have definitely known that the virus was airborne, it was a whole 7 months into the apocalypse already. They very well could have witnessed someone turn without being bitten or heard about it happening. The Atlanta group stayed relatively isolated in their camp without many incidents before Rick came which explains why they didn't know but some groups could have known about it from day 1.

      Most early sanctuary outposts, especially the military ones likely fell because of an old person dying of something at night and chomping on people during the night.
      Just like the infected weapons attack on Hilltop resulted in a massive death count years after the start of the apocalypse. Because they hadn't experienced it before.

    I remember this was the first episode I saw of the show after not watching since like season 3. I sat down with my dad, who has kept up with the show the whole time, and watched this episode with him. And I fell in love with it. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is phenomenal as Negan, and the fact that his real wife played Lucille really just made the episode that much better.

      @snerdterguson ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The seasons aren't as start to find ish great as some of the first few, but there have been some great episodes and incredible scenes in every season. There are people who hate seasons 9-10, while for me, it features two of the best villains and the most terrifying villain groups, the biggest shock in the series since (won't just say it because you said you stopped after season 3, but those who saw know) Lucille "dated" two of the main group. And we get the biggest character arc in the series with Negan which was brilliantly portrayed by Jeffery Dean Morgan.
      It is one thing that, throughout the series, has never changed. The acting is top notch. Every season I would be upset when Melissa McBride didn't get a best supporting actress nomination.
      If you eventually watch, look forward to a tremendous few scenes with Negan and King Ezekiel in one of the last few episodes of the series.

There isn't a single performance that pulled me out of the series, even when i may not have cared for the characters on screen(looking mostly at you, stupid trash people). And although i never cared for the Commonwealth story in the novels either, Mercer and Hornsby were phenomenally well developed and acted characters in the show.

  • @X525Crossfire

    As to Lucille's "Don't leave me like this", Fear showed us that people found out in different ways how the dead came back. Gloria presumably died from an OD before reanimating, and Nick, Madison and Travis all saw Calvin reanimate after he was shot dead. It might have been that people who were in the cities, who saw the first Walkers come about from recently dead bodies in hospitals to accidents during the panic, knew from the get-go that anyone who dies comes back.

  • @supSuicide
    @supSuicide ปีที่แล้ว +75

    My original problem with Negan and the show was just how slow going it all was, it was like 2 seasons of the main cast being bullied. Especially amplified by weekly releases of episode, with that and mid season breaks made it all incredibly painful. I gave up and returned years later to binge watch on Netflix and my whole perspective changed.
    Maybe not the best to pander to a portion of the viewerbase who wait and binge watch on Netflix but it’s probably an interesting conversation to have about the balance of slow burning lower points in stories on weekly releases and binge watching and the viewers enjoyment.

      This is why season 7 is almost universally considered the worst season of the show. Season 7 and 8 could easily have been condensed into one taut season with sadness, catharsis, setup, and payoff. Mercy and Wrath should have simply been episode 9 and 16 in a consolidated season 7.

  • @tonyvillota21

    This episode felt like an action/romance/villain origin story to me and I liked it. It was the key for us to understand how and why negan became the way he was in season 6-8. For the first time it actually made my dad like him from being a bad guy to being a good guy. He’s usually not a fan of that “bad guy turn into good guy cliche”.When he watched season 6-10 negan, my dad was like “I don’t like him,he must die😡” but after watching this episode and season 11 he was like “I like him👍, hope he doesn’t die🥺” . All in all, great episode.
    I kinda wish we get a prequel show or something about negan. Sure his origin is explained in this episode but I think it be interesting to see how he found the sanctuary, how he met Simon, how he met Dwight, how he started the saviors. And then the final episode would show a final scene where negan is behind the rv door preparing himself to meet Rick for the first time.

    I would say the main thing is , we cant expect the entire apocalypse to be what it was for Rick's group. Remember they didnt find out till Cdc and rick told them. But others clearly learned by living it. Remember when andrea and michonne asked the governor why they were sick and stabbed dead people and he was like uh what do you mean they turned? Cause his group already knew this. So im sure it's a simple answer really. Negan or Lucille probably experienced something that showed them early on that anyone dead with an undamaged brain will come back. Really we just have to assume that and take it as the answer cause it wont be addressed and it's the easiest answer.

    My main complaint about this episode is the timeline inconsistency. It makes absolutely no sense for the current timeline to have been 12 years and 8 months + into the apocalypse, and there's been another 6 months and 1 year time jump since then, which means we're 14 years into the apocalypse, which just feels wrong because it means that the first 8 seasons of the show and Carl's death was like 12 years ago and it just makes everything that happened feel so insignificant. What was the need for all these time jumps? I didn't mind the 1.5 year time jump from AOW to s9 because it made sense narratively, and the 6 year time jump after Rick left made sense for ageing Judith I guess, but then 2 more years come out of nowhere and almost 2 more years have passed since then and it's all just too much. Too much time has passed and it's so unbelievable that all these characters are still alive given how many died in the early seasons, and when you watch it it's like none of it matters anymore because the present timeline is SO far into the future. It also means Rick has been gone for 10 years or more, and with all due respect to Maggie, I know you never get over the loss of a loved one, but... Glenn died 12 YEARS AGO! I think she can move on

      @@liamphibia The Governor too me has a way more interesting backstory, story than show Negan too me and is more complex...especially in the comics because of his identity switch. "How Philip Blake Became Too Far Gone" is a great title for that video... Negan isn't tragic at all too me except Lucille's death he was a flawed man pre outbreak and he chose the villainous path as a tyrant and he has to live with it he. The Governor was a kind, family man who lost his daughter and he was so devastated that it caused a mental breakdown he was a tragic character...

  • @PuppetThanksScott
    @PuppetThanksScott ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Negan is by far my favourite character of the show!
    I loved him as a villain and I love him as what he has become. But to be honest, I always had problems with seeing him as a different person. Not because I was traumatised by his prior actions but because the writing didn't convince me.
    It must be incredibly hard to turn the biggest villain so far into an anti-hero of such a big show so I can't blame the writers for not convincing me.
    This episode never felt right for me, tho. I loved hearing more about Negan and his backstory! I'm always really hyped when it comes to the season finales and this one was great, but after rethinking about it a couple of times, I never felt good about it.
    I don't know what it is, but I didn't think this was a great way of showing his past.
    Negan's character change happened mostly during S9. Why am I saying this? Because that was the episode in which Maggie wanted to kill Negan, which caused him to show his true feelings. That was my first problem with him. It happened literally 5 episodes after Rick "kills" him and that was way too early.
    In S9E2, Rick has a short conversation with Negan in which the writers specifically showed that Negan has not changed yet (or he pretends to at least).
    There is a three episode long time that's passed which is like nothing and Negan suddenly shows all of his emotions because he was in jail for some time? If I remember correctly, there passes quite a lot of time in the show itself during these episodes, but still. Us viewers just have to accept that the greatest villain of TWD changes in less than 3h of video material? Cmon..
    And if that wasn't bad enough, we have that huge time skip as S9E5 is also Rick's final episode. That means, we lose even more even more time with Negan's development.
    Funny thing: right after that time jump, Negan tries to escape Alexandria to find back to his old life, so he didn't really change at all until he notices that things have changed. So why did they even show his and Maggie's scene that early?
    I don't hate Negan's development, I even love it and think, it's one of the most interesting concepts in film so far. Taking a character everyone hates for killing many main characters and making him a "good" guy. Absolutely fantastic!
    But it happened way too fast. They showed most of his development in like 5 episodes right after his "death" but then notice they still have like three seasons to write so they have too much time to keep him interesting.
    And I suddenly have to believe he's changed? Times has passed, yea, but his development stopped and that's frustrating.
    If he actually had a good development, I might have this episode even after watching it. But since this is the way they went with Negan, I will never be able to believe he's actually a different character now. That's the difference between "show" and "tell". They can tell me he's changed, but as long as they don't show me, it doesn't matter.

    Hell for me it was probably Season 9 now that I think about it, although even when he was a villain I thought he was a really compelling one. (His walkie talkie talk with Rick after Carl died in 8.) Even in 7 you started seeing hints at his compassion and humanity, 6 is the only Season where he's 100% pure evil and that's only case he's literally only in the final 10 minutes LOL

    For me, it’s one of the best episodes ever, maybe in my top five. That stuff you explained at the end about the authors maybe forgetting the timeline of The Walking Dead, I think it’s not true. I think they just wanted to be a little bit more mysterious… who knows, maybe someone died and they saw he turning into a zombie. They add just a little bit of a mystery in his past. We, because I’m an author too, we don’t have to explain everything… you can imagine it and for you as a viewer it’s more exciting..

      I was gonna say why assume they didn't know. Because Rick found out later doesnt mean negan and Lucille didn't. Maybe negan saw someone get stabbed or something during the begging of the zombie apocalypse I'm actually a bit more surprise that ricks group didn't see someome get killed earlier I'd be expected alot of people to kill each other when the world ends.

    I’m pretty sure they’ve mentioned and we have seen that some characters knew from the start that dying turns you regardless. In the comic universe, Lee Everett’s group figured it out canonically before Rick even woke from his coma when Ben told them who had to have learned even sooner than that. Also I’m Fear, many characters and groups knew from the get-go that dying means turning. No explanation is cause for concern to an extent but it could’ve been in the realm of possibilities that they just knew like many others did

    When she wrote “don’t leave me like this” it felt more like she never wanted him to leave in the first place and she wanted him to just spend her last moments at her side. Knowing he went to get supplies and then taking as long as he did because of what happened, it just felt like it sent her on a spiral of pain from the cancer and finally deciding to off herself because she has no idea if he’s dead alive or coming back. It’s way more heartbreaking reading the words on the door when it felt more like a cry out to him for leaving her in the first place
