Too much? No It was a great story ending for Glen, and Abraham, along with being an epic edge of your seat cliff hanger introduction to Negan.

It stayed true to the source material, Steven Yeun even said, "Don't take that death away from Glenn. What did people expect in a show about a zombie apocalypse? Soft.

The episode of Glenn getting his head bashed in was such a great episode. That was true horror. A tv show has never made my heart race more than it did watching that episode after waiting a whole year for it.

Glenn's death separated the real fans from the fairweather fans. The former stood the test of time. The latter are still complaining.

Breaking news: there is gore in a tv show about zombies. Never got the outrage from Glenn’s death outside of him being a main character. We literally saw Rick bite a man’s throat out and put walker guts on them. I guess it aired around the time of the 2016 election when the world started to complain about everything.

absolutely not too much... I would even suggest that season 6 episode 16 and season 7 episode 1 are the best episodes that walking dead has ever produced....with meaning...I recently have experienced death in my own life losing a brother...so when I go to walking dead its literally like therapy for me because of the [Early seasons] explaining death and judgment in a world that collapsed with no foundations available no more....but I think the whole Negan arc was such a mature idea in the comics that AMC wasn't ready to produce it throughly In a complete season. episodes 6x16, 7x01 are literal peaks of content that walking dead has to offer... Movieidol please read my message I would love to disscuss this even more

Glenn's death was still shocking and Abe's too that line up moment will always be the best but saddest. No one should have got killed. And then they had to make us wait for months for the cliff hanger on who got killed stressed me tf out.

They should've killed Glenn (only) like the comic in that moment. Killing Abraham in that moment as well was just a waste and was done purely for "shock value" and for the cliffhanger to feel justified.

It's the fact they killed off Carl that was the nail in the coffin

I recently watched Abe and Glenn's death again. I forgot actually how savage it was. The grunts from Negan as hes smashing the skulls in. And that final shot of Glenn's mangled head where hes taking his final breath, you can see half of his face where his eyeball popped out. Mind blowing.....literally

Glenn's death hit as it was supposed too, abrahams death was like T -Dogs overshadowed cause of Lori death.

glen and carl would have so much potential in twd

We that knew the comic, knew Glenn died by Negan. I think us that knew expected it but the cliffhanger is what did it for the people I knew. If one of the deaths had been revealed in the season finale, the other death would have been accepted easier.

If they didn't do the S6 cliffhanger and kept Abraham alive through the All-Out War arc, it would have been so much better. Such a silly mistake that shouldn't have happened.

As cool as Glenn is and always will be, the dragging of his memory to be crucial points even 12 years later is a little crazy. Considering these people had actual families and a life for over 20 years before the pandemic. When you think about it Maggie and Glenn only knew each other for like a year and a half and every day was lustful and fight for survival, its wild to think about.

Glenn was definitely family. It still hurts to this day

In retrospective, I think Glenn should have lived. His absence in seasons 7 onward, especially 9 after Rick left, felt almost hollow without him. I think his death had a terrible writing effect on Maggie that’s hurt her character because that’s all she’s motivated by now. Him continuing to be around in Rick absence would have made that phase of the show stronger than not imo.

Glenn's death was not the problem, the problem was after his death that entire season was full of filler episode and All Out War draggggged

Season 6 had a slight decline in the ratings the huge drop was after the season 7 premiere fact

The cliffhanger was fine. They did a great job in my opinion.

Breaking news: We should be receiving news about AMC's plans for the TWD universe at SDCC either this week or next. TWD Daryl Dixon The Book of Carol will most likely be their main showcase but there will hopefully also be first looks at Season 2 of TWD Dead City. Stay Tuned

Glenn's death was so hard for me, but I'm not a fair weather friend

Way way to much definitely agree

Glens death was perfect straight out the source material only thing that sucked about it is episodes prior they had the whole under the trash thing faking his death which was stupid and the whole wait for the reveal glenn has to die in this story it just has to happen

I didn’t watch it live and binge watched it, doing that made season 7 and 8 the best TV I’ve watched. Maybe the arc feeling too drawn out was due to the waiting week to week.

That's B S Noah's death was far worse. His face was torn apt.

BONK. Glenn had such a overreaction to jus death and completely ruined Abraham's arch and his death aswell was overshadowed by glenns and hardly anyone talked about his death in and out of the show aswell. That cliffhanger was complete trash tho.

Both Glenn and Abraham death was so sad and very hard to stop seeing the images

it television show right? but the thing is scenarios like this would absolutely happen if in our Reality the world collapsed - people psyche would flip upside down 🙃but unfortunately I guess the walking dead wasn't seen in that light. The content in walking dead has some of the most gut wrenching experiences that bring forth things like this. I truly believe in some way that AMC adaption of the walking dead has a deeper meaning within the chaos that ensues rick journey - its a sanity playground unraveling rick psyche seeing where the walls of psyche are weak itching him to give up 😮‍💨 seeing two strangers turn family members banished in the head with a barbed wired baseball bat isn't just some Gory horrific thing that they created to appeal audiences - I might be looking to DEEP but I believe TWD was stepping into an arc of Hopeless on a scale that people can't relate to because our world has a sense of sanity at least in surface level . Zombie Apocalypse or WorldWide disaster is a Red Flag in the human psyche it really shows that there was something going wrong in the world even before the World went to shit and maybe what this scene didn't do correctly was not showing the beginning of the zombie apocalypse at the start of TWD. Yes we got to see Rick but he was already just thrown inside of the apocalypse without having that experience of living normal life then seeing the world change right before his eyes.

Yeah they should of never got rid of glen and they killed the red head at the same time

It was bad. It makes sense for the story. People can be brutally evil.

I didn’t have any issue with any of it.

I almost quit watching when Glenn and Abraham were brutally killed. I definitely was going to quit watching when Carl died so senselessly. But we have two tvs, and my husband watched the next episode. I figured that would count as our family still watching. I then kept watching, but gradually just lost interest during season ten and didn't see most of season 11. I watched a couple of the later ones, but couldn't stay interested enough.

Without the cliff hanger, no one would watch the first episode of the next season.

I mean Glenn could’ve grabbed the bat or not jumped out of line first

The Red Wedding has to be on par with Glenn's death.

I mean I don’t understand why people are overwhelmed with Glenn’s death. He died the same way in the comic books. I dont see anything wrong with that scene.. the show stood true to source material.

They went overboard?????? Lol come on it's TWD.....many of us comic book fans look forward to that arc...it was classic 👍😁. If some think that was going over board they better not be watching Interview with the Vampire 😂🤣😂😂😂

Glens death helped create the 2nd best character in twd .....Negan. Now, Carls death just sucked and had no reason!

Terminus was worse than Glenn's death.

hey everyone how's it going? The latest poll said Carol can be canceled.

I tired of seeing people crying saying glen shouldn't have died read the comics he dies same way now carl i dont agree because that didnt happened in the comics. i like the feel from the comic's its more authentic

I am a negan fan

I think it was too far. Way too much I was 16 at the time and I'd never seen that kind of level of violence like ever. And the fact that it was done to such a beloved character and the way they stretched it out when his eye popped out it was prolonged torture and it was just cruel a very cruel thing to do and just wasn't needed

Wrong we got to to know Glenn season after season it's not the same thing like a movie Death and the fact that he was talking while dying so no it's nothing like any death we've seen in a movie

Of course it was too much. Wasn't the gore. It was the emotional cruelty. This is when TWD died. Went from 17M viewers to 2M in ONE WEEK. Gimple sucks.

Glenn shouldn't have died...he needed to be able to be a dad

All they have to do now is kill off Judith and I'll never watch it again
