I don't think people give Andrew Lincoln as much credit as he deserves. He portrays SO much fear and terror in this scene without using a word.

as you can see the fact that glen is laying on the ground lifeless is a sign he is dead

Poor camera man he didn't deserve to get killed 😢

I've always wondered how Shane would have handled each of the shows antagonists had he lived being an antagonist himself.

Negan is a example of how a good person pre apocalypse can get dark in a bad situation.

I always felt like Negan killed Abraham first since he knew Abraham can be a real threat in the future

Abraham was the only person who never stopped eye contact with Negan. Negan saw this as a threat. Threat eliminated. I think even without Daryl doing what he did Negan was still going to kill 2 to drive the point home.

Negan is the best character they added to the show. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is such a good actor.

Tbh Negans lines are delivered with way more oomph without all the swearing, he emphasizes the intimidation cadence way more

Props for using uncensored Negan. Gah I wish they could have really used this lol

What I found interesting and still do is that there was absolutely no walkers in this entire scene

Negan sounds like a kid who just found out what cuss words are lmao

Nobody: Negan: Fuck

Andrew and Jeffrey deserve an Emmy, every time I see that scene I get goosebumps

First time hearing the uncensored version for me, but i really liked the other one better. It makes Negan seem even more frightning when he isn't swearing like a kid that discovered the f word for the first time. Also, Andrew Lincolns acting is SO GOOD!

I'm going to be honest Censored Negan comes off as way more terrifying than Uncensored. A lot of swearing can usually diminish the impact of what someone says, especially in the tone he said it. His unusually calm attitude with his rather "kid friendly" speech made you feel really uneasy about the whole situation.

Enigma is the kind of guy to breathe oxygen

It hits harder when you start remembering when Glenn met Rick and saved him in season 1. I’m pretty sure out fo all those people, Rick met Glenn first.

His demeanor and body language have always been interesting to me. It changes a lot throughout the series. JDM does such an amazing job playing him.

Dude, I watched TWD on Netflix, and when i started watching this video I was like ''Hmm, sure don't remember Negan saying the word fuck or anything related to that word, like, 457 times''

So glad you used the uncensored version

Your jacket feels extra appropriate for this video 😁

Negan mentions he’s not growing a garden, this is a way to stress how he’s not growing a garden.

the fact that negan kills glenn, now knowing negan's backstory, makes it more interesting. I feel like he probably saw the 'weaker' side of himself in glenn, someone caring and willing to sacrifice for his wife, and killed him as if to kill that side of himself.

Negan actually liked Carl, when he died Negan took it hard, as if he himself had lost a Son.

Negan's body language is confident, but also uncertain in a way, he doesn't really want to kill any of them, but they have to pay for what they've done (That's why he is unable to decide who to kill and then selects at random). Also Rick seems so furious, like he is really afraid, but at the same time he's furious because he's utterly helpless. And you feel it with him. One of the tensest scenes ever in television, and one of the best.

If Shane had lived this long into the series I always felt Negan would have killed him instead of Abraham. Shane was defiant and hot-headed, but strong. However I also have read some theories by others suggesting Negan may have tortured Shane like he did Daryl into submission and perhaps would later recruit him as a lieutenant in the Saviors after seducing him with evil.

The most tension filled scene in TWD so far and not a damn walker in sight ...

Hearing negan curse this much like he did in the comic makes it feel like I've never heard negans voice

jesus ive never seen the uncensored version and it looks like negan really loves his f bombs

I really wish that TWD included more uncensored takes of Negan like this. Total missed opportunity

When he is doing his “eenie meanie miney” shtick, the only person you see the bat linger on is Abraham. You can see the bat circle the edge of his face as Negan is staring him down. I think Negan already knew who he had chosen and just wanted to toy with them.

A body language analyst? “He is holding a bat so he will prolly kill someone.”

If I was a teacher of psychology/sociology, I would play this whole monologue for a class. It's a perfect display of manipulation to display dominance on Negan's part and defense mechanisms on the group's part. Very fun scene to analyze.

It is also great to point out that although it appears as though Negan chose at random. It was clear in the end he intentionally chose to kill Abraham and it's because he gave Negan the most resistance particularly through eye contact. Negan realised that Abraham was giving off absolutely no sign of fear and that clearly intimidated him because it meant Abraham could be a big problem for him in the future. And so he prevented that by killing him.

4:19 i love how daryl was about go jump up because he probably thought negan was about to do something to rick

I cannot get over how much I love Negan's leather jacket!

My favorite instance of body language is when he points at Abraham, who then sits up and makes eye contact showing he's not afraid at all

The way he is calmly talks but very manipulative & does & has a psychological impact that makes Negan an absolute BEAST

I personally love Negan as a villain he is so amazing

I’m surprised you didn’t notice in the beginning when negan first does his walk around Abe stands up and negan notices but seems like he brushes it off with the line “man I really gotta shave this shit”

You should analyze Season 10 Episode 22 with Negan talking to the biker leader as Negan is ready to kill him. It reminded me a lot of Negan's body language in this scene

Unpopular opinion: I prefer the censored Negan. All this "fucks" get repetitive quickly. The censored dialogue feels "richer" for me.

they really need to give Negan his own TV show leading up to this point.

I think there was so much more to be said about Rick. You could see the shock that they had been so completely trounced and how he was having to realise that he no longer had any power. He was breaking down from the beginning right through the following scenes with Negan.

I am curious about the absolute change after his wife died. He was another person

Negan: Beats two tough guys to death and made everyone scared* Meggie: Get ready to fight

Analyst: "Negan proceeds to rip an expository fart, in turn, the smell causes Rick to make a face because it stinks."

The soundtrack in this scene is amazing I love the guitar in the background

Looking back, you can tell it was Abraham, he was the only one who didn’t look away at all during the picking scene, not breaking contact with Negan at all.

There were a few parts where, possibly due to the subtlety and lighting, you missed Rick's rapid eye movement which would suggest him trying to process the situation .

My favourite body language element of this scene which I'm surprised wasn't addressed is the groups reaction to the threat that one of them will die. All of them hunch their shoulders and look down, trying to avoid his attention except for Abraham who straightens his back and pulls back his shoulders, staring Negan in the eyes, presenting himself as the offering while being defiant that even that will get fear of Negan out of him. When this first aired it was because of that that I correctly guessed that Negan would choose Abraham and that the random choice was an act, he couldn't let the one guy live who didn't submit to him in the end.

This scene along with the one where everyone was kneeling in front of the troughs waiting to be hit in the head and then have their throats slit at the train hub was two of the most horrific and violent scenes I’ve ever witnessed on television, maybe even on the movie screen.

I liked how you used the uncensored version of Negan’s speech. Makes it feel more real

First we hate ‘em. And then we get used to ‘em, and then he’s not so bad. Then we love him.

Looking back at this, Negan's decision to kill just 2 of Rick's men was very merciful. And originally he just wanted 1. Rick's gang killed like 10 saviors. Negan even put more of his men at risk for conducting such an elaborate trap just to spare Rick's group.

Dude wtf! I’ve never heard this version before! I’ve never heard this version with all the “fuck” bombs added in! And I always wondered too if they did shoot 2 separate versions of this scene for the dvd to make this scene more like the comic book. Well I got my answer. I fuckin love it Lol! The Walking Dead should have been an HBO series from the beginning so they could have absolute freedom with 0 censors on it.

God the uncensored version is so much fucking better Holy fucking hell it's good

The charisma , the charm , the flow , the balls .. some things can only be done by JDM

I loved that you analyzed the Negan Introduction! It would be great if you could do a body language comparison from before he kills Glenn and Abraham and After.

Another interesting detail is that Abraham was chosen as the first kill very early. When Negan stops in front of him he sits up straight and stares him in the eye until NEGAN backs down. But to cover up for the lack of intimidation he jokes about needing to shave his beard after seeing the moustache. That coupled with Abe’s size made him the person least likely to be broken. So killing him takes away the group’s backbone and muscles all at once. Negan also only spares Rick because of Carl. Up until the moment he realised who Carl was, Rick’s fate was undecided. He recognised that a group able to slaughter his outpost and still remain strong despite the Saviours’ strength and numbers wouldn’t bow entirely to him. But if he broke the leader and had him keep them in line that would be easier and less bloody. Especially as whoever leads a group like theirs has to be a powerful individual, one Negan believed in his hubris he was better than. Obviously he should have just killed Rick anyway.

I’m happy to see this analysis is done years after the performance. It describes and explains why he didn’t just kill everyone right there on the spot. He didn’t want any of that. The moment he was introduced to a threat, he had to act on it. Otherwise his group would see him as weak or incompetent. Great breakdown!

The only TWD episode I`ve seen for the last 3 years is the Negan origin story that recently aired. I must say, watching him in this scene gives him so much more substance

All of the cast played this scene out to literal perfection. Couldn’t of done it better

It’s crazy how I empathize with Negan now and even like him a lot. The character wasn’t born like he was. The world created him that way to survive. Just like Rick. I like where Negan’s arc ended him up. My favorite character on WD by far.

Nobody: How often do you want to say Fuck? Negan: Yes 🤣🤣

Negans introduction got me. Him coming to Rick with the bat at hand so calm and cool is actually terrifying. His voice is soft but his words are strong. Jeffrey dean Morgan portrayed way better than I thought. Being that Negan was inspired by those big muscular punk guys like Henry Rollins, I pictured in my head so much different. And I love it.

Negan doesn't kill kids so Coral was never in danger, but he sure as shit wants Rick to think he might

amount of suspense He (negan) was able to create in this scene speaks depth of his actinv level

It's so different watching this scene after seeing negan backstory

“Also when he moves his lips, it’s a sign of suppressing a smile” you mean... talking 👁

There are much better examples of body language when it comes to Negan throughout season 7, especially when he's at The Sanctuary where he feels untouchable. The way he never breaks eye contact and leans into everyone's personal space and all the little things he does to establish dominance. People often wonder why people don't just take Negan out, and it's because of all the alpha wolf things he does to establish his utter dominance over everyone. The scenes between him and Eugene over the course of 7/8 are wonderful for body language, from both JDM and McDermitt, and obviously the scenes between Negan and Dwight as he emasculated Dwight are great too.

I’ve noticed the Rick jacket you’re wearing and the white shirt, good fit

I am no body language expert but when Negan swung the bat at Abraham and Glen, I think he was demonstrating aggression.

Walking dead body language expert is the absolute BEST series on youtube. Look forward to these so much. Love to see ricks reaction to Lori's death. Andy Lincoln should have won an award for that. I cant wait to see Enigma break it down🖤🖤🖤

Great choice using the uncensored version. Keep up the good work!

I've never watched a show and been as shocked as I was when Glenn died.

They really did a damn good job with the camera and audio giving the perspective of getting hit in the head with a bat. That audio reverb with the repetitive hits and the scene cuts really is meant to give Abraham's perspective and it's really grueling to endure as the viewer. Then they followed up with the real visually gruesome death of Glenn. Say what you will but they really did do a good job of showing the group and the audience that the game had changed.

Hands down one of my favorite TV shows and hands down you did a great job as always my friend have an awesome day!

I used to want negan dead but Wow I just love him now And the fact he's been alive long enough to have an episode of his back story It made me understand why he was the way he was and why he cared so much about a baseball bat

Very good job man! Keep it up! This scene with Negan is hilarious!

I like that enigma used the uncut scene (it’s much more accurate than the aired-on-TV version)

I feel like I got disconnected from TWD because of this scene. I remember being SO uncomfortable when this episode premiered. Don't get me wrong, I still watch, still one of my favorite shows that I've watched from day one. But this scene was just so perfectly written, set up, acted, lit, etc. It just made me and a lot of viewers cringe. This was worse than the red wedding for me. Dammit, Glen.

I know I'm late af but this was EPIC! I always find it fascinating when analyzing characters being played by actors, would you say it's difficult to find a baseline? I'd say it's a testimony to just how good the actors did. Can't get over how JDM managed to keep that menace to him while swearing like this. As the others have said, props to using the unedited scene. Edit: Subscribed mate! You make some stellar content!

I think this scene gets a lot of hate because of the cop out cliffhanger but the acting sends shivers down my spine. Andrew Lincoln is phenomenal here 😀

This video and your analysis speaks volumes about the pure TALENT these actors have. 👏

I was waiting for you to point out how Abe rose up, puffed his chest out and looked directly at Negan. This was Abe’s sacrifice, no monologue, no inspirational speech. He spoke with his actions and saved everyone else. Or at least, he would have, if it weren’t for Daryl.

Man I can’t get enough of your vids. Please please do some analysis on Breaking bad

Another detail I always noticed was when Negan says *you are so gonna regret crossin me in a few minutes* 1:30 The look he gives right before the “mask” of the smile is almost like he pity’s them for what is about it happen as they obviously had no idea who they were dealing with and the fact it has to come to this to get them to understand. 9:55 this makes sense and explains why Negan doesn’t seem as ruthless, savage and cold as he did in the first 2 episodes of his reveal. *cut the boy’s other eye out and feed it to his father* 🤭. Later in the season he displays a bit more compassion and leniency(his confession to father Gabriel and bonding with Carl). It was all a scare tactic.

I've never seen this version, it's so much better!

Ab’s got one helluva skull tho

WOW!! You do really read the comments!!! Thank you 😀

So this is why you have that killer outfit

I rewatched this scene like a hundred times and just now realised that I watched the uncensored version for the first time where Negan drops F every 2 seconds. It doesn't feel unnatural though. It's weird that swears get cut but extreme violence and gore is ok.

I’m so happy you used the uncensored version, it’s way more authentic and has more emotion

This scene still makes me anxious and makes me scared for everyone even though i already know who dies.

I don’t remember negan saying “FAWKING” that much.

Negan was an excellent villain, right up there with Darth Vader in my opinion

The other day I was thinking, I wonder if enigma has reacted to twd 😂
