"I must've dozed off…Lex Luthor's plan made no sense, Doomsday came out of nowhere, and Wonder Woman just showed up without explanation."

Absolutely. Negan is a perfect example of "nerd cool": A guy who talks nonstop, has everyone's rapt attention despite his long-windedness, and has at least one dorky fashion gimmick. Virtually no popular person, in high school or politics, actually behaves like this. In real life, Negan would just be a weird guy…

I did MMA and lifted regularly in high school, and gradually came at odds with my gym teacher in weights class, because I had a very regimented training split that conflicted with the oversimplified, somewhat confused curriculum. Basically, I went heavy on leg day, needed a light day to recover, so I spent the class…

Forrest Whitaker is the most fearsome puppy dog ever.

I understand what you're getting at, but a lot of actual sadists can and do develop personal attachments and/or a grandiloquent, theatrical desire to enlarge themselves before their victims with a great big Red Dragon speech. It really depends on the flavor of tragedy the sadist is prey to. But even then, their…

Are you being deliberately arch about that "impressing high schoolers" reference?

Oh, what, just because it's not "politically correct" to murder people with barbed wire now? WELCOME TO OBAMA'S…oh, wait.

COPYRIGHT NEGAN ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL

Well Negan is already a character from another show who wandered onto TWD, so.

I love how Negan is pretty much just shooting finger guns directly at the camera while shouting "I AM THE ANTAGONIST

did negan bust out a worn copy of save the cat and explain why a moment of crisis prior to the resolution is necessary for helping us identify with the hero's journey

so I missed this episode. did it have a part where negan spends half the episode explaining that he is the antagonist and rick is the protagonist

So I've only seen the Governor episodes of TWD and have only a vague sense of the show from cultural osmosis. That said, I love Negan so fucking much for being the narrative wrecking ball he is. It's like a character from another show with Last Action Hero self-awareness wandered in and began actively trolling the…

I literally pictured Negan on Shark Tank insisting he had invented Lucille only for Robert Herzjavec to inform him wrapping barbed wire around a baseball bat was in every fucking Genesis game, look it up asshole, god you're so stupid Negan, and he just kinda slinks away and founds the Saviors 5 minutes later.

And now I'm replying to a comment made 16 hours ago. That's sort of how posting on the Internet works.

But that doesn't work at all if your "savior" is constantly murdering everyone around you, including his own inner circle. Having someone taking half your shit AND threatening to kill you AND offering no protection or benefits gives you literally zero reason to not fight him.

It's wood. I too have spent time considering this.
