*Negan brands a Savior's face with an iron; the Saviors remain loyal*

This is the worst 9/11 tribute ever.

Negan acts like an asshole player in a Bethesda game who knows that every faction will pledge their undying loyalty to him no matter what, and he completely abuses this by acting like a total weirdo jackass who finds their kneejerk admiration hilarious.

Does acting like being called Leader all the time is a normal thing humans do count as a personality trait? Like, people pretty much call Rick The Protagonist to his face and he isn't remotely weirded out by it, so that's something.

why are you so racist against women that carry small men in their stomachs

But what did happen? I don't mean "action" as in "people running around with guns", I mean "what significant or unexpected changes happened in the story?" If you look at the scope of the entire season, the plot has essentially been half showing us that Negan sucks (repeatedly), and half raising an army that, by the…

Before the finale aired I Tweeted a prediction for the finale at Zack, saying that Rick would use his portal gun to send Negan back to his home universe, It's Always Sunny.

And now we are praising the characterizations in Zach Snyder films.

People running around with guns and sometimes stopping to fire the guns and all the bullets from the guns miss Negan until Rick uses the power of monologuing to teach Negan that you catch more flies with honey than ya do with vinegar and it will fucking work because Negan's Counter Monologue game has atrophied from…

But you're okay with the polling fetuses part?

So I just surveyed a bunch of fetuses and 100% percent of them are fine living in their mom's vagina, so presumably the next big thing will be crawling into your screaming mother's vagina. You heard it here first folks! #trendspotting

This legitimately annoys me because they had many, many opportunities to make Negan interesting, complex, or human, but instead they opted for a series of disjointed, repetitive vignettes that turned him into a campy goofball with an unusually strong smell of Writer's Contrivance.

You ever notice how we always say the exact same things about every generation at the exact same times? Almost as if fetishizing the opinions of children like it's an infallible cultural barometer and not, you know, kids being kids produces suspiciously identical results

Sorry, I'll put more effort into making fun of you next time.

But to mock another human being's virtuous labors is not the sort of barbarity one would expect from assless chaps

Hahaha I literally just lol'ed at this

Negan is way too plot savvy to actually kill either of the protagonists. He was never gonna go through with it.

It physically felt like Negan was stalling until something came and rescued Carl and Rick, as if he knew he can't actually kill the protagonist.

"but if he has done that we wouldn't have a show, now would we?"

So keep in mind we are about to enter the 3rd act of an epic story and the big payoff is that we got to see some people with guns running around and shooting the guns and all the guns shot at Negan will miss until he is defeated around 30 minutes into the finale
