Which “Walking Dead” death left you the most stunned? Let us know in the comments below. For more Walking Dead, check out our playlist!: th-cam.com/video/FY-ubRkUpz4/w-d-xo.html
I was stunned with Taras death, I thought i´d be Rosita bc of what the scene before her head was shown was Gabriel asking to talk to her, so I didny even imagine it was Tara. I loved her so much! I love Rosita as well so im happy it wasnt her, but I mean come on, Tara had been with us since season 4!!!
I was so shocked at that moment too, he was a great character. Tsktsk, Glenn's death was the top, no cap.. We know it in the comics, but it's shocking. Tsktsk.
@@wiltondexplorer Yeah they threw a curve ball at the last minute when Daryl punched Negan. As awful as it was for Glenn to be destroyed like that, it was integral for Maggie to evolve into a tougher character. The biggest crime was what happened to Carl. There was no reason to kill him off and because of that, most of the fans had stopped watching. Still leaves a bad stain since his death happened. Judith filled his shoes nicely thanks to Angela Kang but still it's hard to forget what happened in S8.
@@Spotty2Wily JDM even said that if he can turn it back, he wouldn't killed Glenn's character, that kill was really brutal, Noah was also, swarmed by walkers, disgusting death, pitiful, and Hershel was heartbreaking that moment where you cry, shout at the same time. The actor died in real life also, I think years after.
@@wiltondexplorer the mentioned character deaths I agree, were brutal, tragic, and horrific. Never gets old seeing them after rewatching the series and I still feel for them. Yeah S9 was Scott Wilson's final appearance in the show as Hershel and after finding out he died in real life afterwards made me really sad. 😔

I think Sophia’s death was not only shocking but the most pivotal. This was THE moment when the characters and the audience realized there won’t be a happy ending. Sophia represented hope.
*In 100% total agreement!* As a viewer (reader), we all had become so deeply vested in Glenn. He was one of the first characters we see in the very first episode... and then we witness him becoming an important & integral part of Rick's 'group'. And then, to have the asshole Negan senselessly murder him... well... it really stays with you... long after the episode/season/entire series is long over!
@@andyroid5028 it was really hard to watch after his death. Glenn had so many fans rooting for him, and Negan being here is so hard. They tried this arc with Negan redeming himself and it seemed like most of people dont even know who Negan was. im happy to see Meggy back and maybe she gets her revenge in the end for which im hoping too
Hershel, Beth, Glenn, and Carl - those were the deaths I was most unprepared to handle. There have been so many great characters we've loved and lost over the years.
(spoiler alert) *It still seems so unreal to see all those characters killed off (all at once!) when they show all of the deaths that occured due to beheadings (and then their heads are impaled on tall sticks/poles)!!*
Hershel and Dale’s death were sad cause they were the groups moral compass and the fact both died one to a cowardly act and the other a sword swipe made me cry.
@@NoName-mi9pd He went outside alone (but not without protection) just as he and basically everyone else had done safely and successfully hundreds of times up to that point. He was a careful guy, and he had no reason to believe that this time would be any different. He would've been correct had Carl not antagonized that walker. Hence, not Dale's fault.
I was done once they killed off Carl. That was my limit. Rick, Carl, and Darryl were the only reason I watched the show after a few seasons. Once you realize the zombies weren't the monsters and the survivors had to fear the living more than the zombies, it was a struggle. It just seemed like 90% of the survivors were psychopaths. Carl's death was the final straw.

Ikr? Not to mention the reference to “Of Mice & Men”. Hell, she had a striped shirt. Very Freddy Krueger ish, kinda. Still Lizzie was clearly unstable. The actress did such a great job though!
Noah’s death episode aired on Greg Nicotero’s bday, so they went all practical effects to honour him, having started under Tom Savini in the early 80’s.
That Beth scene gets me every single time. I had to rewatch it numerous times because my brain wasn't allowing me to process it was real.. Darryl's immediate retaliation was extremely bittersweet.
The Grove is still my favorite episode of the entire series. Mika’s death is one of the very few that completely caught me off guard, but I could understand why she died. They had really no reason to kill of a lot of the people on this list, but with Lizzie growing so unstable slowly throughout her episodes it was perfect writing to have that moment happen.
They just started killing people for that shock factor, then they could keep repeating the whole emotional schtick. After a while I just stopped caring as much, I want to see satisfying character development fulfilled and not just half Assing it.
@@jeffdarnell7942 if that can make you feel better, in the comics Sophia was still alive when the groups found the farm and has grown up along side with Carl .
Glenn’s is the most important death in the story. It affects the whole dynamic between the groups and everything that happens going forward is also influenced by the loss of his character, especially on the tv show where Negan is around for a much longer time. I feel like TWD wouldn’t have been the same had Glenn not died at that exact moment.
Glenn's death was the turning point for TWD cause that's where the audience started to dwindle. Then there was Carl's death and lastly Rick's grand exit. From then on only the most faithful fans stayed.
I did quit the show like a few episodes before Carl was bit. Haven't watched it again until now, im on season 11 ep 10 rn and I miss Carl and Rick in it everyday. It was not the same without them.
Not to mention that she is also a character that survived to the end in the comics. The whole thing ends with Carl, Sophia, and their daughter. No one expected either of them to die going into it.
Siddiq's death was probably one of the more disturbing deaths cause of how realistic it was. I mean throughout this show, we've seen people shot, stabbed, beaten, blown up and everything in between. So for a main character to be choked to death via headlock is just unsettling to me.

and added on top was the realness of the ptsd he endured. it shocked me how many traumatic events characters went through throughout the show but none really showed any signs of ptsd. at some point they would just move on, so it was a kind of break into reality seeing an important character like him suffering from it
How? Carl didn't die for nothing. Siddiq did wonders for Alexandria and Hilltop, helping and taking care of people. And besides, Siddiq shouldn't be invincible because Carl helped him nor should any character be invincible either. He's an average person dealing with the same set of circumstances. If you have that mentality then everyone that died disrespected someone.
Keep in mind Siddiq was part of the group longer than Carl was in the eyes of the characters. Siddiq was part of Alexandria for SIX years, by the point of the timeskip in season nine nobody had survived that long, so Carl’s sacrifice was definitely not for naught
Hershel was someone I was ready to see for a good bit of the show, and to see him go like that had me sobbing. Beth had such a sad death, and I was not emotionally prepared for her to die after that reunion. Carl was one of my first celebrity crushes so his death hurt so much. Sophia made me realize NO ONE was safe. BUT WHEN THEY KILLED GLENN! My heart stopped beating, my lungs stopped taking air, and I felt as though my whole world was crashing around me. AND LET’S NOT FORGET TYREES! He had such a heroic death… but was it too soon? And I will never be able to hear the phrase: “Look at the flowers” the same ever again.
Brooo I remember when that show was live Sunday night watched that scene had butterflies in my stomach and cried so hard when he got his head chopped I never cried over a show before or since Glenn’s death hurt hella but I seen that one coming
@alexruger7677 I'm empathetic with the characters. The point of them is to get the audience interested and then get connected to them in some way, shape, or form. Have you watched a show or read a book where you didn't feel connection with any of the characters? It gets kind of boring. Even characters that people hate fulfill their purpose with the show.
Nooope my ass still watching this fucking show lol. Now if Michonne would died I would of quit and I was going to quit the show if she left(which of course she did) but the show was ending anyhow so🤷🏾♀️
Ah yes I cannot find a proper word for it. But it was so shocking. To everyone. It was just sooo heart breaking. I'll never forget Daryl carrying her body.
Haven't watched the show in years but Tyrese death still gets me. My family binged that season after work and we broke down after his death. We had to stop and now seeing it again made me cry while I cuddle on of my cats
The recap of deaths at the end had me so fkn sad about him all over again. Been so long since we’ve seen the best seasons, and most indescribable characters die :(
@@sammiedudley5753 I know! Beth popped up and I cried. Abraham and Gleen couldn't watch. I LOVED Abraham and I knew he was going to be Negan pick and knowing I was right I just couldn't
My oldest cat is very attuned to my emotions and has ended up climbing into my lap head butting me and giving me kisses because his mummy is crying, I tell him I’m ok it’s just tv and he settles quietly in my lap, I don’t want him distressed but I’m easy to tears while watching shows, and not only human deaths but animals really set me off and I lost it when shiva died especially when I didn’t know it was coming, that shocked the hell out of me and even my youngest cat was checking on me lol I was that distressed and she normally won’t do that
@@boogersnap2 I knew it would have to be Abraham because I felt Negan would have to choose either the most Alpha male because of his own ego and when he went for Glenn too that shocked me

Honestly, it’s surprising to me that Sophia’s death isn’t mentioned on this list. I mean, maybe it wasn’t /chocking/ but it was still so incredibly sad to see her walk out of that barn. I’ve not seen the last few seasons, but that death is what stood out to me the very most.
Noah should have been in the show longer. He was so likeable and relatable and I doubt anyone disliked him. His death was horrible but his last quote was memorable. If he never died when he did I guarantee he would have become a fan favourite
@@letsdothis7810 i expected her body to be there and atleast rick walking in to a walker eating her stomach since that would be awful to see for him but the whole drag marks on the ground as if she was dragged around the corner by the walker first before eating all of her within short space of time. Probably not even within an hour of her dying and him finding her 'body' she is totally devoured its just nonsense, that was frustrating to see.
T-Dog, Glenn, Abraham, Beth,Noah, and Bob made me depressed, but number 1 saddest for me has to be Merle. That one actually broke me, and the worst part was when Daryl saw him and had to be the one to put him down.
I remember my parents, who were fans of the show, swearing up and down to me, a person that read the comics, that Glenn was not going to die even though I kept telling them that's what happened in the comics.
To be fair the show deviated from the comics a lot. Tyrese died in the comics the way Hershel dies in the show. Dale dies way earlier in the show than in the comics. Abraham is killed by Dwight with an arrow instead of Negan. Bunch of others
@IveGotToast You're right but it was still to obvious Glen was going to died and plus I was annoyed by his foreshadowing and close calls. Never read the comics but didn't care he died lol
I for one was actually happy when Carol killed Lizzie. Not only was she dangerously mentally unstable, she did things that are unforgivable she murdered her own sister for no reason, she threatened to kill Judith and she pulled a gun on Carol and Tyresse therefore Lizzie had to go so it's a good thing Carol took care of her before she could hurt anyone else.
Random Fact: T-Dog had to live much longer, but they killed his character off so Carol could live. Also, they killed him in the same episode as Lori because she was a reviled character whereas people aka fans had love for T-Dog, so they wanted to give viewers that emotional feeling. What pisses me off is that so much further down the line, they act like he never existed
Last i think they mention him is when Carol is telling Andrea in 3x11 that Lori died in childbirth and tdog died and saved her leading her to safety in the tombs. But then again that was with the full shane died on the farm that night talk aswell
Noah's death was really shocking, but not because the character was necessarily more important than any other side character. The actor was absolutely fantastic in that moment. You could see the fear and pain ... and the unfairness of it all on his face. It was a great kill.
Omg, heads on pikes made me scream and cry at the same time. Especially Enid, Tara and Henry. To be honest, I wasn't sad about Henry himself, but for Carols loss.
For me Sophia's Death was the moment than i thought the series was gonna go downhill, cuz in the comic series she ended up becoming a total badass character , so much even Carl had a major respect for her.
@@Dakenousss I think the death he got in the series was more befitting to him. Getting shot through the eye and it ending so quickly would've just been bad.
From season 4 I never remembered what exactly happened and it was boring to me. Literally the only part I remember of it is how Lizzy acted and died, damn that was brutal.
I like that they brought morales back, and that he wasn't forgotten. It's a little upsetting he was killed nearly immediately into his return, and i wish he had a bigger place in the story
All of those would make my list too. But, I think an honorable mention should be given to Shiva. I knew it was coming because of the comic, but it still broke my heart.
Shiva destroyed me. Broke me. I wailed so loud my dad thought I had seriously hurt myself. RIP to our sweet cat. ❤️ (Who, is mentioned more than nearly any other character postmortem which is awesome as hell to me)
Beth's death, I think, was the start of the end of my love for the series. Her reunion with the others gave me hope and then what happened quickly destroyed it. Glenn's death was the last straw, and while I didn't actually notice it back then, I started to slowly lose interest in the show and never really became as obsessed over it as before. I stopped watching the show sometime during that season, satisfied with the shorter recaps elsewhere online, which I didn't even notice until it was too late lol.
I'm in literally the exact same boat. I could've handled Glenn's death, OR Abraham's death but doing both together for what felt like a cop out to make sure everyone was shocked just irked me. I don't think I finished that season, watching the entire episodes. Since then I've just stayed updated on the relatively important events.
@@michaelbugner7011 "I stopped watching the show...satisfied with the shorter recaps." I didn't miss Negan's rise and eventual fall. The recaps did their job.
i rarely interact with fandoms of shows i enjoy, so its very refreshing seeing other people who also got broken up from the same deaths that i had. the only people that i really discussed them with were two of my irl friends who both thought beth to be an annoying character. so when i consulted them about her death being one of the hardest character deaths ive ever experienced, neither of them agreed with me, calling me crazy for even liking beth. same with carls death.
I’m surprised Sophia wasn’t on here. She was the first real surprise as we weren’t prepared for a child death. Especially after an entire season was spent searching for her.
@@letmebedatguy2637 No. That was the cover story that Walking Dead defenders would say. Chandler Riggs was kicked due to budget reasons. It is similar to Lauren's exit and then reappearance when most of the main characters had left the show. Another example, would be Laurie Holden's out of left field death.
@@humblesurvivor582 also Chad Coleman who played Tyreese. He had other acting job opportunities and the show runners and whoever else up at AMC didn't want to offer him any extra incentive to stay. So, just killed his character in the most random and least meaningful way. Laurie Holden's Andrea dying so random and suddenly always bothered my buddy and I who watched from day 1 back on Halloween night 2010. But Tyreese was the first character's death that killed the momentum of the show for both of us. We stopped tuning in every week to keep up. And it continued to go downhill after that, gaining more and more momentum (downward)
@@humblesurvivor582 Andrea's death was decision of season 3 showrunner - he and Laurie didn't like each other and he changed the script right before shooting
A lot of these deaths were shocking to me also. Noah’s death pissed me off. I remember getting so heated because of the way he got killed due to Nicholas’s cowardice. Jesus died in a badass yet shocking way. Carl’s death got me in my feels and actually made me want to cry.
He wasn't, because part of surviving includes keeping some humanity. Shane had gone insane, and he never would've survived because he was too much of a hothead
Glenn's death absolutely broke my heart and shattered it into pieces. Carl's death made me incredibly angry. But if I have to think about other deaths that broke my heart that would dear Abraham, fierce Sasha, sweet Beth, Carl losing his mama. Then the Whisperers beheading absolutely WRETCHED me. I was not okay. And recently I also cried for losing the wonderful (spoiler) in TWD.11.09. If you know, you know.
I know, and l am PISSED. Of everyone, why……..i cried my fkn eyes out. I even cried watching you know who walk away and leave a gift. Wtf man. Im rewatching scenes here from 1-7 and just bawling
@@albataliephillips4271 I broke down and subscribed to AMC+ to watch season 11. I didn't like the first third of it. Most of it seemed unnecessary. Then certain characters disappeared. Others weren't given enough to do. Some of them did things out of their character. Like Daryl joining the military/police and living in a big society. It also felt really weird seeing some characters living as regular people. Like Ezekiel, the king, just being an animal control guy. I liked the ending though. Eat the rich. 🤟
Uh, I think you mean Shane was jealous and wanted to stay the leader and with Lori. He hated everyone followed Rick, but he despised the fact Rick got Lori and Carl back.
I think with Shane he cracked up he had a purpose before Rick came bk on the scene but let's face it Lori lead him on and used him for his strength and made him think he had purpose but as seasons went you notice how Rick became Shane and realised that no-one can be trusted
Sophia and Beth were two of the most unexpected and saddest for me. I was also very sorry to see Glenn die. I know he died liked this in the comics, but they were doing some things differently, so I hoped they would change this one and let Glenn live.
2:10 again may I say this is Daryl just being Daryl. No thought, No brain, just unalive and you wonder why he lost so many allies either by antagonists, walkers, or anything else.
I'm so glad you brought up some deaths that were shocking specifically for comic fans too, few people discuss the major character differences between the show and comic
I absolutely LOVED The Walking Dead more than any other tv show ever made. Then they killed off Carl. I didn't even like him much as a character but he was essential to the entire plot as Rick's successor. To me that is when they "jumped the shark" (so to speak) and turned an incredible tv franchise into a sub-standard, predictable drama featuring occasional zombies.
I think they originally jumped the shark with Glenn and the dumpster. That was the moment I lost interest in the show because it was so insulting to the audience's intelligence and was just flat-out bad writing. However, I do agree that Carl was another example of this.
seasons 7-8 were pretty weak compared to the first 6. Season 9 was actually really good, the final season is interesting because it’s so different then what they have dealt with before.
@@ketodietdiaries8484 Season 6 is when it got just unwatchable for me. That was when I noticed I wasn't as excited for episodes anymore. That was also when the unspeakable dumpster episode happened, as well as the ridiculous,"OMG WHO DID NEGAN KILL????" cliffhanger season finale. Can't comment on the seasons after because I stopped watching after that.
The WD deaths that have always affected me the most is a tie between Herschel and Glenn. Neither one of them deserved to die, especially the manner in which both characters met their ends.
I would definitely put Beth's death higher than it was, having not read the comics yet I had no idea who was going to die until the episode they died. I knew Denise was gonna die, though I didn't think it'd be by Dwight, and I had a feeling that Glenn or Abraham would die. I agree that Carl's death was an extremely shocking one and I knew that Lori would die the moment we found out she was pregnant and I knew Shane was gonna die when he lead Rick into that field.
the only thing that annoyed me about the whisperer's abush victims is that we never saw their death (which might sound a bit morbid) especially henry, enid and tara considering they were main/sub characters.
I'm glad Carl Grimes was number 1. One of the most shocking and saddest deaths of the entire show. And after his death The Walking Dead went downhill big time during the 8th season. Fans may disagree with me saying that season 7 went downhill when Glenn died. But remember Glenn in the comics died in the same way as the show. So in my personal opinion season 8 is when the show went downhill when Carl died since his comic book counterpart had a major role.
I agree, I stopped watching after carl died. I had a feeling the show was dead and it was. the only good episode after that was where they show negans story from the beginning.
Always felt like Glenn was the heart of the show, killing Glenn was hard to take. Watched a little longer after that, but I agree, killing Carl….that was just stupid. Carl was the future.
I love how darly's "sorry brother" is a direct call back to the survival instinct scene where his father dies, unfortunately i only found this out after watching this season and I'm sure it would have made it a while lot more heart wrenching
The Denise kill came out of know where. Thier only medic at the time. She was talking one minute, and then, boom..arrow through thr face. What made that scene even more shocking is that she was still trying to talk even after the arrow shot through her eye.
I was so close to giving up when they killed Carl. Although it allowed Kirkman to release the finale of the comics in peace knowing his ending couldn’t be stolen, it still hurt a lot. He was the one person throughout the entire show I had complete faith would survive until the end. And then they did him dirty
I see this list as a bunch of deaths that were there purely as shock value and some deaths that made sense. Imma never get over the fact that they killed Carl,Jesus and Siddiq. They all had so much more to add . Especially Carl and Jesus, Carl is literally the true protagonist
Glenn, his death was so horrific. And right in front of his wife and friends ( which were his family as well) As he’s bleeding and dying and looks over to Maggie while she’s screaming and crying in horror but man when he says to Maggie. “ Maggie,” I will find you” I’ll be honest, I cried like a baby It was so sad after everything that they had been through and for her to have just found out she was pregnant and having their baby I was really angry and heartbroken 💔 I wish he could’ve seen his child! I never seen this coming!! I never read the comics so I didn’t expect this at all!!! Carl his was equally sad too! He was an AWSOME person and so young! Too young too die !! I don’t know why they killed off either character. I loved them both so much !! I’m also mad they took Rick off the show!! Rick, Carl, and Glenn were my favorites.
I have been watching the Walking Dead from the very beginning and I'm so glad that I stuck with this series. Some of these deaths to my favorite characters were rough to watch.
I was a fan of the series. My wife and I watched it every Sunday night along with Talking Dead afterwards... but the death of Glenn shook us to our core. It was hard to watch the series after that.

Glenn Rhee
Do another list for Fear the Walking Dead and World Beyond please
Beth 😢I think she's the one everyone felt
Glenn
I was stunned with Taras death, I thought i´d be Rosita bc of what the scene before her head was shown was Gabriel asking to talk to her, so I didny even imagine it was Tara. I loved her so much! I love Rosita as well so im happy it wasnt her, but I mean come on, Tara had been with us since season 4!!!
I would definitely put Jesus higher, the way that Whisperer dodged and killed him was so shocking and an excellent way to introduce the Whisperers
I agree 👍🏼 Angela Kang did a great job in introducing the Whisperers making Paul aka Jesus's death shocking.
I was so shocked at that moment too, he was a great character. Tsktsk, Glenn's death was the top, no cap.. We know it in the comics, but it's shocking. Tsktsk.
@@wiltondexplorer Yeah they threw a curve ball at the last minute when Daryl punched Negan. As awful as it was for Glenn to be destroyed like that, it was integral for Maggie to evolve into a tougher character. The biggest crime was what happened to Carl. There was no reason to kill him off and because of that, most of the fans had stopped watching. Still leaves a bad stain since his death happened. Judith filled his shoes nicely thanks to Angela Kang but still it's hard to forget what happened in S8.
@@Spotty2Wily JDM even said that if he can turn it back, he wouldn't killed Glenn's character, that kill was really brutal, Noah was also, swarmed by walkers, disgusting death, pitiful, and Hershel was heartbreaking that moment where you cry, shout at the same time. The actor died in real life also, I think years after.
@@wiltondexplorer the mentioned character deaths I agree, were brutal, tragic, and horrific. Never gets old seeing them after rewatching the series and I still feel for them. Yeah S9 was Scott Wilson's final appearance in the show as Hershel and after finding out he died in real life afterwards made me really sad. 😔
To those who still never got over T-Dog, I stand with you.
Me too ♡
Honestly, he's too underrated. It paints me honestly, he's such a lovable guy
Yeah he was awesome and literally went down saving Carol twice because she was supposed to die and leave the show but he decided to take her place
me
My man!
Obviously what makes Hershel's death all the more tragic is that we ended up loosing the actual actor a few years later. RIP Scott Wilson. 😢
seeing him again in rick's last episode was so heartbreaking because it aired after scott wilson died
RIP!
He died the Thursday before he was shown during Rick's last episode...when it actually aired. That's what was so bad to me.

@@angelemeana2754 You ok?
I think Sophia’s death was not only shocking but the most pivotal. This was THE moment when the characters and the audience realized there won’t be a happy ending. Sophia represented hope.
Wow, well said
It definitely should have been pretty high on the list
for me it was the most shocking
@@GHosT_deployyyyeah considering she survived and married Coral in the comics.
@@Alex_The_BarbearianYeah she was wasted in the TV show
As TWD comic book/TV fans, we will never forget Glenn Rhee’s tragic death.
Yeah Glenn's death will never be forgotten by many.
The only TWD death that made me cry.
*In 100% total agreement!*
As a viewer (reader), we all had become so deeply vested in Glenn. He was one of the first characters we see in the very first episode... and then we witness him becoming an important & integral part of Rick's 'group'. And then, to have the asshole Negan senselessly murder him... well... it really stays with you... long after the episode/season/entire series is long over!
@@andyroid5028 it was really hard to watch after his death. Glenn had so many fans rooting for him, and Negan being here is so hard. They tried this arc with Negan redeming himself and it seemed like most of people dont even know who Negan was. im happy to see Meggy back and maybe she gets her revenge in the end for which im hoping too
It is sooo brutal man, Tsktsk. I had looked away... it's really tragic.
Hershel, Beth, Glenn, and Carl - those were the deaths I was most unprepared to handle. There have been so many great characters we've loved and lost over the years.
Don’t forget Enid!!
(spoiler alert) *It still seems so unreal to see all those characters killed off (all at once!) when they show all of the deaths that occured due to beheadings (and then their heads are impaled on tall sticks/poles)!!*
Beth broke me
@@andyroid5028 That was really sick, Henry, Tara was killed and all those characters, including Enid... Tsktsk.
I was shocked when Carl died. I didn't think it would happen but then it did and I was happy.
Hershel and Dale’s death were sad cause they were the groups moral compass and the fact both died one to a cowardly act and the other a sword swipe made me cry.
I mean Dale's death was kinda his fault
@@NoName-mi9pd more carls fault
@@justluca787 yea but he went outside all alone in the middle of the night.
@@NoName-mi9pd He went outside alone (but not without protection) just as he and basically everyone else had done safely and successfully hundreds of times up to that point. He was a careful guy, and he had no reason to believe that this time would be any different. He would've been correct had Carl not antagonized that walker. Hence, not Dale's fault.
Never be a moral compass in a zombie show
I was done once they killed off Carl. That was my limit. Rick, Carl, and Darryl were the only reason I watched the show after a few seasons. Once you realize the zombies weren't the monsters and the survivors had to fear the living more than the zombies, it was a struggle. It just seemed like 90% of the survivors were psychopaths. Carl's death was the final straw.

S4:E14 “The Grove”
“Just look at the flowers Lizzie”
What she did to her sister was just crazy
Ikr? Not to mention the reference to “Of Mice & Men”. Hell, she had a striped shirt. Very Freddy Krueger ish, kinda. Still Lizzie was clearly unstable. The actress did such a great job though!
Don't worry, she'll come back.
She's a psychopath fr
@@jackieec what was the "of mice and men" reference?
@@riyad3320 “Tell me about the rabbits” -> “Look at the flowers Lizzie.” Distract them from behind to execute them
Noah's death is still the most gruesome death I have seen in The Walking Dead. The second most gruesome death is Glenn's.
Noah’s death episode aired on Greg Nicotero’s bday, so they went all practical effects to honour him, having started under Tom Savini in the early 80’s.
Everybody hateeeeeees Chris
@@BiGSmoke-.- Everybody aaaaaaate Chris.
@@Oneiriel 💀😭😭🤣
Noah's death was brutal
That Beth scene gets me every single time. I had to rewatch it numerous times because my brain wasn't allowing me to process it was real.. Darryl's immediate retaliation was extremely bittersweet.
“You’re gonna miss me so bad when I’m gone, Daryl Dixon.”
Same harshal and beth.
B***h got it coming, she didn't need to stab that lady.
The Grove is still my favorite episode of the entire series. Mika’s death is one of the very few that completely caught me off guard, but I could understand why she died. They had really no reason to kill of a lot of the people on this list, but with Lizzie growing so unstable slowly throughout her episodes it was perfect writing to have that moment happen.
They just started killing people for that shock factor, then they could keep repeating the whole emotional schtick. After a while I just stopped caring as much, I want to see satisfying character development fulfilled and not just half Assing it.
I agree with this. This was the best scene ever
I wish they did more with these characters, I would have loved to see them growing up in the apocalypse, same with Beth. 😔
Sophie’s was shocking as well. That was the first confirmed child death on the show and showed that the world was merciful to no one.
Well there was the walker child in the first scene of the series. But we don't actually see her die. Just die after turning.
You didn't see her death...you only saw her afterwards.
@@jeffdarnell7942 if that can make you feel better, in the comics Sophia was still alive when the groups found the farm and has grown up along side with Carl .
And patrick
@@georgetarry7153 who is Patrick again ?
Glenn’s is the most important death in the story. It affects the whole dynamic between the groups and everything that happens going forward is also influenced by the loss of his character, especially on the tv show where Negan is around for a much longer time. I feel like TWD wouldn’t have been the same had Glenn not died at that exact moment.
So true
Glenn was the pacifist and the understandble person in the story, plus is my fav character
Glenn's death was the turning point for TWD cause that's where the audience started to dwindle. Then there was Carl's death and lastly Rick's grand exit. From then on only the most faithful fans stayed.
It also started Negan's character arc because without Glenn's death, Negan would never have his redemption arc
😢
Glenn getting his skull cracked open by Negan was hard to watch. Especially after he survived falling into a group of Walkers a few episodes earlier.
Glenn survived a lot of near death experiences up until then felt like the most out of any character lol
@@samuelking7219but just like they say no character can be invincible cause then all of them would have to be invincible
I loved glenn
Yeah
It was kind of funny when his eye popped out
I remember being sick from the Negan scene - with Glenn and Abraham. But Carl's death almost made me quit the show. I was so angry.
Part of me wanted to quit watching the show. But, I had to see how it ends. Now I'm just glad it's over.
@@tmntnoel9568 literally the same
I did quit the show like a few episodes before Carl was bit. Haven't watched it again until now, im on season 11 ep 10 rn and I miss Carl and Rick in it everyday. It was not the same without them.
Hard to believe that Sophia wasn’t on this list, i dropped my jaw when i saw the scene of zombified Sophia.
I thought it would be number 1! Can't believe it didn't make the list
I stopped watching the show for months after that, it traumatized me 😅😭
Not to mention that she is also a character that survived to the end in the comics. The whole thing ends with Carl, Sophia, and their daughter. No one expected either of them to die going into it.
Siddiq's death was probably one of the more disturbing deaths cause of how realistic it was. I mean throughout this show, we've seen people shot, stabbed, beaten, blown up and everything in between. So for a main character to be choked to death via headlock is just unsettling to me.
They should have showed Enid’s, Tara and everyone else death in that line up

and added on top was the realness of the ptsd he endured. it shocked me how many traumatic events characters went through throughout the show but none really showed any signs of ptsd. at some point they would just move on, so it was a kind of break into reality seeing an important character like him suffering from it
Noah and Beth's deaths affected me worse than alot of the others. Glenn's also.
Beth's death had me sobbing, like Shireen in GoT, both were the purest souls in their respective stories
Hershel’s death was the first time I shed a tear watching the show. Beth left me heartbroken and Glen/Carls death left me dangerously angry lol
@@PhifeZulu I think it was more Maggie's reaction to Daryl carrying Beth's body out of the hospital that got me
@@DFC667 yeah that was a painful combination of emotions
everyone forgot about noah and i hate that
Killing Siddiq was disrespecting Carl's memory.
Killing Noah was disrespecting Beth's.
EXACTLY
How? Carl didn't die for nothing. Siddiq did wonders for Alexandria and Hilltop, helping and taking care of people. And besides, Siddiq shouldn't be invincible because Carl helped him nor should any character be invincible either. He's an average person dealing with the same set of circumstances. If you have that mentality then everyone that died disrespected someone.
Ah man that was another death that broke me too.
Keep in mind Siddiq was part of the group longer than Carl was in the eyes of the characters. Siddiq was part of Alexandria for SIX years, by the point of the timeskip in season nine nobody had survived that long, so Carl’s sacrifice was definitely not for naught
Hershel was someone I was ready to see for a good bit of the show, and to see him go like that had me sobbing. Beth had such a sad death, and I was not emotionally prepared for her to die after that reunion. Carl was one of my first celebrity crushes so his death hurt so much. Sophia made me realize NO ONE was safe. BUT WHEN THEY KILLED GLENN! My heart stopped beating, my lungs stopped taking air, and I felt as though my whole world was crashing around me. AND LET’S NOT FORGET TYREES! He had such a heroic death… but was it too soon? And I will never be able to hear the phrase: “Look at the flowers” the same ever again.
bro its just a tv show
Brooo I remember when that show was live Sunday night watched that scene had butterflies in my stomach and cried so hard when he got his head chopped I never cried over a show before or since Glenn’s death hurt hella but I seen that one coming
@alexruger7677 I'm empathetic with the characters. The point of them is to get the audience interested and then get connected to them in some way, shape, or form. Have you watched a show or read a book where you didn't feel connection with any of the characters? It gets kind of boring. Even characters that people hate fulfill their purpose with the show.
You forgot to mention Sasha's death, she was strong and when she was captured I had faith she would find a way out😥
Saddest death was Carls. Negan said it himself, that kid was the future. I’m also a little bummed over Alden’s death. He was so underrated
I saw that one coming when he decided to stay in that church on his own, no supplies + no weapons = death
Wwe bray wyatt
@@StillDogeRBLXwhat about him
Yes, we know. You stopped watching after Glenn died.
Well no I'm still watching the show.

Lol I'm still here. Really looking forward to see how it ends. I have faithfully kept watching
nah i’m a loyal watcher
Rewatching Beth's death scene always triggers a specific kind of pain
Ah yes I cannot find a proper word for it. But it was so shocking. To everyone. It was just sooo heart breaking. I'll never forget Daryl carrying her body.
That broke me cuz I loved Beth she was my favorite character
What made it worse was that it was an accident
Yeah for me because i feel in love with her
@@RickGrimes-19 i also feel in love with her
Haven't watched the show in years but Tyrese death still gets me. My family binged that season after work and we broke down after his death. We had to stop and now seeing it again made me cry while I cuddle on of my cats
The recap of deaths at the end had me so fkn sad about him all over again. Been so long since we’ve seen the best seasons, and most indescribable characters die :(
@@sammiedudley5753 I know! Beth popped up and I cried. Abraham and Gleen couldn't watch. I LOVED Abraham and I knew he was going to be Negan pick and knowing I was right I just couldn't

Honestly, it’s surprising to me that Sophia’s death isn’t mentioned on this list. I mean, maybe it wasn’t /chocking/ but it was still so incredibly sad to see her walk out of that barn. I’ve not seen the last few seasons, but that death is what stood out to me the very most.
It still the saddest and most shocking for me, out of the entire series
Yet they put fucking Morales??
@@danx889cap
Noah should have been in the show longer. He was so likeable and relatable and I doubt anyone disliked him. His death was horrible but his last quote was memorable. If he never died when he did I guarantee he would have become a fan favourite
He was just like Glenn
He is a somewhat fan favorite
Everyone agrees that he's underrated
Morales: I'm Negan.
Daryl: So you've chosen death.
I would like to say what made Lori's death worse is when Rick when to go find her body to give her a burial, a Walker had already eaten it.
Somehow devoured her within that short space of time. Bones and everything.
J C it’s one thing for someone to die by a human’s hand (and in a way to not turn if lucky)
But man this just sucked
@@letsdothis7810 i expected her body to be there and atleast rick walking in to a walker eating her stomach since that would be awful to see for him but the whole drag marks on the ground as if she was dragged around the corner by the walker first before eating all of her within short space of time. Probably not even within an hour of her dying and him finding her 'body' she is totally devoured its just nonsense, that was frustrating to see.
@@IreZico but definitely devastating none the less
@@IreZico agreed, the whole prison arc was botched imo. It could have been that show's "Red Wedding", but Glen Mazzara chickened out.
Sophia's for me was one of the most grievous. I hate how there never was a flashback as to how she was bitten and went missing from Rick so quickly.
T-Dog, Glenn, Abraham, Beth,Noah, and Bob made me depressed, but number 1 saddest for me has to be Merle. That one actually broke me, and the worst part was when Daryl saw him and had to be the one to put him down.
Yes mate I 100% agree Merle was the most saddest death in my opinion and the most unexpected he was my favourite survivor
@@ReeceStephens3927 fax, he was just getting his redemption arc too 😔
Yeah he was killed off way to early and quick and over a stupid way too
I remember my parents, who were fans of the show, swearing up and down to me, a person that read the comics, that Glenn was not going to die even though I kept telling them that's what happened in the comics.
To be fair the show deviated from the comics a lot. Tyrese died in the comics the way Hershel dies in the show. Dale dies way earlier in the show than in the comics. Abraham is killed by Dwight with an arrow instead of Negan. Bunch of others
@IveGotToast You're right but it was still to obvious Glen was going to died and plus I was annoyed by his foreshadowing and close calls. Never read the comics but didn't care he died lol
wait I'm just wondering how does glenn die in the comics
@@voydaxx8146 the same way he dies in the show
@@brycethewlis7957 Except he is the only one executed by Negan. Just wanted to add that extra detail.
I for one was actually happy when Carol killed Lizzie. Not only was she dangerously mentally unstable, she did things that are unforgivable she murdered her own sister for no reason, she threatened to kill Judith and she pulled a gun on Carol and Tyresse therefore Lizzie had to go so it's a good thing Carol took care of her before she could hurt anyone else.
Agreed.
it was an act of mercy. poor girl was too far gone
Top 3 hated characters imo. She was too dangerous and stupid to live.
@@michaelbugner7011 wasn't stupid just mentally disturbed (schizophrenic)
Random Fact: T-Dog had to live much longer, but they killed his character off so Carol could live. Also, they killed him in the same episode as Lori because she was a reviled character whereas people aka fans had love for T-Dog, so they wanted to give viewers that emotional feeling.
What pisses me off is that so much further down the line, they act like he never existed
Yeah it's really annoying that they never mentioned T dog again it's disrespectful
Last i think they mention him is when Carol is telling Andrea in 3x11 that Lori died in childbirth and tdog died and saved her leading her to safety in the tombs. But then again that was with the full shane died on the farm that night talk aswell
bad writing thats all.
@@sharonniblett8300 Glenn mentioned T dog in season 6. He mentioned him to Enid
T-Dog was practically written out way before his death anyway. At some point he barely had any screen time for a dozen episodes
Noah's death was really shocking, but not because the character was necessarily more important than any other side character. The actor was absolutely fantastic in that moment. You could see the fear and pain ... and the unfairness of it all on his face. It was a great kill.
If only they killed Nicholas earlier he would have lived
Omg, heads on pikes made me scream and cry at the same time. Especially Enid, Tara and Henry. To be honest, I wasn't sad about Henry himself, but for Carols loss.

lol that was just the beginning baby
The saddest death is Carl’s, the most traumatic is Glenn, the most shocking is Beth, and the most gruesome is Noah.
I swear to god this is so true
gruesome could go to glenn too

Suggestion: Top 20 best characters in ‘The Walking Dead’ franchise.
Out of all characters negan is number 1 IMO
Only Morgan from fear will be able to make it into the top 20
It would just be the same list
Rick, Shane, Darryl, Merle, Glenn, Morgan, Abraham, Michonne, Carol, and Herschel. That's the top 10 right there.
They already made one years ago, but it definitely needs refreshing.
I know he wasn't a major character, but the scene of Noah pressed against that glass as Glenn watched him get eaten alive haunts me til this very day
The scene with the heads on the sticks on the hill was SHOCKING for me. I did NOT expect that much character to die at the same time.
Although he didn't die right way, bob's tainted meat scene is one of the most surprising and best scenes of the show imo
Shocking how he revealed it to the terminans tho

And they killed of the guy that he sacrificed himself to save.
@@ismarhalilovic2654 and they killed him in the very next season after practically no screen time.

Suprise!!!!
Beth's death, I think, was the start of the end of my love for the series. Her reunion with the others gave me hope and then what happened quickly destroyed it. Glenn's death was the last straw, and while I didn't actually notice it back then, I started to slowly lose interest in the show and never really became as obsessed over it as before. I stopped watching the show sometime during that season, satisfied with the shorter recaps elsewhere online, which I didn't even notice until it was too late lol.
That's pretty much what happened with me, too.
I'm in literally the exact same boat. I could've handled Glenn's death, OR Abraham's death but doing both together for what felt like a cop out to make sure everyone was shocked just irked me. I don't think I finished that season, watching the entire episodes. Since then I've just stayed updated on the relatively important events.
You missed out on the glory that is Negan.
@@michaelbugner7011 I still watch plenty of clips of him and he's really well cast, just don't care for the show as a whole
@@michaelbugner7011 "I stopped watching the show...satisfied with the shorter recaps." I didn't miss Negan's rise and eventual fall. The recaps did their job.
Carl spending time with Judith before his demise still hurts thinking about it
i rarely interact with fandoms of shows i enjoy, so its very refreshing seeing other people who also got broken up from the same deaths that i had. the only people that i really discussed them with were two of my irl friends who both thought beth to be an annoying character. so when i consulted them about her death being one of the hardest character deaths ive ever experienced, neither of them agreed with me, calling me crazy for even liking beth. same with carls death.
the death of Jesus was so underrated because he did so much for the group and just dying by getting stabbed..it was so undeserved :(
I’m surprised Sophia wasn’t on here. She was the first real surprise as we weren’t prepared for a child death. Especially after an entire season was spent searching for her.
And definitely since she survived the comics aswell
This set off the tone for the entire show this is when I got obsessed
I agrre. Sofia's death was very unexpected and thrill.
i think it’s because we never seen her actual death
For me it was because she was a child, made it clear no one was off limits
T-Dog was supposed to only last 3 episodes, but made it to 3 Seasons.
Thank you Scott Wilson for your wonderful proformance. Rest in peace
Tyler James Williams being a underrated actor playing a great role is perfect
Sofia's death made me cry. And Merles death by his brother had me devastated.
The live action Carl Grimes version’s death was definitely tragic as well.
wasn't the reason behind this was so the actor can go to college ??
@@letmebedatguy2637 yes and no yes because so that the actor can go to college no because they are following the comics of twd
@@letmebedatguy2637 No. That was the cover story that Walking Dead defenders would say. Chandler Riggs was kicked due to budget reasons. It is similar to Lauren's exit and then reappearance when most of the main characters had left the show. Another example, would be Laurie Holden's out of left field death.
@@humblesurvivor582 also Chad Coleman who played Tyreese.
He had other acting job opportunities and the show runners and whoever else up at AMC didn't want to offer him any extra incentive to stay. So, just killed his character in the most random and least meaningful way.
Laurie Holden's Andrea dying so random and suddenly always bothered my buddy and I who watched from day 1 back on Halloween night 2010.
But Tyreese was the first character's death that killed the momentum of the show for both of us. We stopped tuning in every week to keep up.
And it continued to go downhill after that, gaining more and more momentum (downward)
@@humblesurvivor582 Andrea's death was decision of season 3 showrunner - he and Laurie didn't like each other and he changed the script right before shooting
Tyrese's sister death was a big one and was not included in this list. Bob also was not on this list
A lot of these deaths were shocking to me also. Noah’s death pissed me off. I remember getting so heated because of the way he got killed due to Nicholas’s cowardice. Jesus died in a badass yet shocking way. Carl’s death got me in my feels and actually made me want to cry.
The worst part about Shane's death is that He was absolutely Correct on what it takes to survive, Rick just couldn't see it at the time
He wasn't, because part of surviving includes keeping some humanity. Shane had gone insane, and he never would've survived because he was too much of a hothead
Like Dale, I’m pretty sure Jesus’s death was so surprising bc they both asked to be written off the show.
I think Glenn's was expected because of the comic but Noah really took me off guard.
A lot of these deaths people already knew about
@@lex_C_88 Haha I never said they weren't
Glenn's death absolutely broke my heart and shattered it into pieces. Carl's death made me incredibly angry. But if I have to think about other deaths that broke my heart that would dear Abraham, fierce Sasha, sweet Beth, Carl losing his mama. Then the Whisperers beheading absolutely WRETCHED me. I was not okay. And recently I also cried for losing the wonderful (spoiler) in TWD.11.09. If you know, you know.
I appreciate you not spoiling it cos im catching by brother up and am a little behind
I need season 11 to come to Netflix already. I just rewatched the whole series and I'm starving for more.
I know, and l am PISSED. Of everyone, why……..i cried my fkn eyes out. I even cried watching you know who walk away and leave a gift. Wtf man. Im rewatching scenes here from 1-7 and just bawling
@@michaelbugner7011 I love finding people that still love this show.
@@albataliephillips4271 I broke down and subscribed to AMC+ to watch season 11. I didn't like the first third of it. Most of it seemed unnecessary. Then certain characters disappeared. Others weren't given enough to do. Some of them did things out of their character. Like Daryl joining the military/police and living in a big society. It also felt really weird seeing some characters living as regular people. Like Ezekiel, the king, just being an animal control guy. I liked the ending though. Eat the rich. 🤟
Uh, I think you mean Shane was jealous and wanted to stay the leader and with Lori. He hated everyone followed Rick, but he despised the fact Rick got Lori and Carl back.
Yep. Had nothing to do with leadership styles.
I think with Shane he cracked up he had a purpose before Rick came bk on the scene but let's face it Lori lead him on and used him for his strength and made him think he had purpose but as seasons went you notice how Rick became Shane and realised that no-one can be trusted
Sophia and Beth were two of the most unexpected and saddest for me.
I was also very sorry to see Glenn die. I know he died liked this in the comics, but they were doing some things differently, so I hoped they would change this one and let Glenn live.
2:10 again may I say this is Daryl just being Daryl. No thought, No brain, just unalive and you wonder why he lost so many allies either by antagonists, walkers, or anything else.
I'm so glad you brought up some deaths that were shocking specifically for comic fans too, few people discuss the major character differences between the show and comic
I absolutely LOVED The Walking Dead more than any other tv show ever made. Then they killed off Carl. I didn't even like him much as a character but he was essential to the entire plot as Rick's successor. To me that is when they "jumped the shark" (so to speak) and turned an incredible tv franchise into a sub-standard, predictable drama featuring occasional zombies.
I think they originally jumped the shark with Glenn and the dumpster. That was the moment I lost interest in the show because it was so insulting to the audience's intelligence and was just flat-out bad writing.
However, I do agree that Carl was another example of this.
seasons 7-8 were pretty weak compared to the first 6. Season 9 was actually really good, the final season is interesting because it’s so different then what they have dealt with before.
@@ketodietdiaries8484 Season 6 is when it got just unwatchable for me.
That was when I noticed I wasn't as excited for episodes anymore.
That was also when the unspeakable dumpster episode happened, as well as the ridiculous,"OMG WHO DID NEGAN KILL????" cliffhanger season finale.
Can't comment on the seasons after because I stopped watching after that.
The WD deaths that have always affected me the most is a tie between Herschel and Glenn. Neither one of them deserved to die, especially the manner in which both characters met their ends.
Those along with Noah and Tyreeses death to. All 4 of those characters went out brutally
I would definitely put Beth's death higher than it was, having not read the comics yet I had no idea who was going to die until the episode they died. I knew Denise was gonna die, though I didn't think it'd be by Dwight, and I had a feeling that Glenn or Abraham would die. I agree that Carl's death was an extremely shocking one and I knew that Lori would die the moment we found out she was pregnant and I knew Shane was gonna die when he lead Rick into that field.
the only thing that annoyed me about the whisperer's abush victims is that we never saw their death (which might sound a bit morbid) especially henry, enid and tara considering they were main/sub characters.
Yeah ..the ambush for me was the highest.. it was like a ton of characters we liked on one strike.letting the heads on the stick was too cruel.
To me, Sasha’s death should be number 1. To this day it still gives me chills. It almost sent me to tears.
Especially with the song she was listening to
Agree
She's fine, Scotty beamed her up to Star Trek
@@GEMINIEARTHWALKERbest comment
TWD: Noah die.
The Fans: NO 😭
Me: Everybody Hates Chris.
Too true lol
I'm glad Carl Grimes was number 1. One of the most shocking and saddest deaths of the entire show. And after his death The Walking Dead went downhill big time during the 8th season. Fans may disagree with me saying that season 7 went downhill when Glenn died. But remember Glenn in the comics died in the same way as the show. So in my personal opinion season 8 is when the show went downhill when Carl died since his comic book counterpart had a major role.
I agree, I stopped watching after carl died. I had a feeling the show was dead and it was. the only good episode after that was where they show negans story from the beginning.
Imo the show picked back up a bit after Angela Kang took over as show runner, but not really the same level as the first 5/6 seasons.
Well season 9, 10 and 11 have been awesome after those terrible seasons 7 and 8.
I cried so much with Carl' s death...
Always felt like Glenn was the heart of the show, killing Glenn was hard to take. Watched a little longer after that, but I agree, killing Carl….that was just stupid. Carl was the future.
I love how darly's "sorry brother" is a direct call back to the survival instinct scene where his father dies, unfortunately i only found this out after watching this season and I'm sure it would have made it a while lot more heart wrenching
The Denise kill came out of know where. Thier only medic at the time. She was talking one minute, and then, boom..arrow through thr face. What made that scene even more shocking is that she was still trying to talk even after the arrow shot through her eye.
This show taught me one thing if a real zombie outbreak could happen: Be careful who you trust.
This show taught me…..blow up at the CDC, lol.
I was so close to giving up when they killed Carl. Although it allowed Kirkman to release the finale of the comics in peace knowing his ending couldn’t be stolen, it still hurt a lot. He was the one person throughout the entire show I had complete faith would survive until the end. And then they did him dirty
At least daryl and rick survived
@@Hvnlyyyyy unpopular opinion, I really don’t like Daryl😂so his survival wasn’t something I really cared for
@@KatVallentine11 I love him he's also really hot..😳
When you realize Dwight killed the doctor who saved Carl.
Beth's death was such an insane surprise. Blew my mind. Tears tears tears.
Dale kept everybody’s sanity to it was hard to lose him😢❤ A little after everybody was kind of losing their sanity but they got it together
I see this list as a bunch of deaths that were there purely as shock value and some deaths that made sense.
Imma never get over the fact that they killed Carl,Jesus and Siddiq. They all had so much more to add . Especially Carl and Jesus, Carl is literally the true protagonist
I guess now we know why they kept Judith alive
@@FlynnArcos Judith never experienced anything really. Carl was there since season 1. Stupid as hell killing Carl
Jesus was in the game to and was a god
@@Hvnlyyyyy he was one of the few good things about season 3
Imagine an executioner saying "Look at the Flowers."
it was a reference to of mice and men when george shoots lenny.
Negan Killing Alpha was pretty damn shocking.
it was obv that he came to her to kill her but the way he killed her was shocking yes
They played it like he was fighting against Rick's group, but it was very obvious he infiltrated the whisperers to take them down.
Glenn, his death was so horrific. And right in front of his wife and friends ( which were his family as well) As he’s bleeding and dying and looks over to Maggie while she’s screaming and crying in horror but man when he says to Maggie.
“ Maggie,” I will find you”
I’ll be honest, I cried like a baby
It was so sad after everything that they had been through and for her to have just found out she was pregnant and having their baby
I was really angry and heartbroken 💔
I wish he could’ve seen his child!
I never seen this coming!! I never read the comics so I didn’t expect this at all!!!
Carl his was equally sad too! He was an AWSOME person and so young! Too young too die !!
I don’t know why they killed off either character.
I loved them both so much !! I’m also mad they took Rick off the show!!
Rick, Carl, and Glenn were my favorites.
I can’t even BEGIN to EXPRESS how I felt with every death… I’m speechless. Every death left me mourning so bad I couldn’t even watch it after Glenn.
I have been watching the Walking Dead from the very beginning and I'm so glad that I stuck with this series. Some of these deaths to my favorite characters were rough to watch.
Me too ❤️
I was a fan of the series. My wife and I watched it every Sunday night along with Talking Dead afterwards... but the death of Glenn shook us to our core. It was hard to watch the series after that.
Negan: Take one out, and the rest will fall in line. Just one.
What Simon heard: Shoot everyone but one. And leave them all to die.
I remember bawling my eyes out the entire episode after we lost Glenn and Abraham
