I’ve watched the show since the beginning and am a fan. Had never read the comics until the last couple of weeks and binged read all 150 issues. While the show runners have taken liberties with characters from the comics, generally the over-arching plot from the show has followed the comics. The previews of the show’s upcoming half season introduces Negan, so we know that’s coming. And casting has confirmed that Jesus is coming.
After all of the hoopla over whether Glenn survived the fall from the dumpster with Nicholas, do you think they will follow through with Glenn’s demise via Negan?
It’s right after the attempted escape via the zombie herd in Alexandria (the point where we are in the show run) that Carl get’s shot in the face. Do you think this be picked up in the show?
I find it interesting in some sort of alternative universe way that:
Rick is missing a hand;
Rick is quasi married to Andrea;
Carol committed suicide via walker at the prison;
and Sophia is still living as Maggie’s daughter.
I doubt Carl with get shot in the face, or indeed, Rick will lose a hand… It’s the practicality of a TV show to remove such things, would be a lot of effort on makeup and effects added…
But I do not give much hope for Negan. The show Governor was a kitten compared to comic version…
