One might even hypothesize that the story could now be about a son (Carl) maturing into a hero who eventually kills his father’s murderer for example, the comic book elaborates on the strange relationship between Carl and Negan. One might argue that the first six seasons merely introduced us to a group within a huge new world, while the seventh season and beyond will be an exploration of this new world, with its many potential heroes and villains going in potentially many directions (the producers have stated they imagine this show will have several seasons to come). And with the way the show has evidently been influenced by the world building storytelling techniques of HBO’s hugely successful Game of Thrones (a show that’s less about ONE protagonist’s journey, and more about a world, several characters and perspectives, and about who will win the game of thrones), in addition to its Star Wars type franchising techniques (a comic book, a talk show, a theme park ride, endless toys and countless video games) TWD seems to lean towards being less of a concise saga of one man and one group, and more of a George Lucas Expanded Universe. Despite TWD’s despairing season finale that no doubt left a bitter taste in everyone’s mouth, the notion that if a hero has fallen then a new hero may rise, should be the new hope of the next season. Yes, Star wars-a story that begins with the death of an old hero and the making of a new one. I’m subtly reminded of Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan. How this currently unidentified character’s death changes everything, and what the remaining characters will do in response, will now be the focus of the series. In other words, perhaps season six has marked the end of an era, while season seven may mark the beginning of a new one. And when we reveal who was on the receiving end there, that’s going to be the start of another story…The kickback effects from that, what it makes everyone into, how people react, how the world changes for everyone, that’s the next part of the story.” Kirkman and Gimple explained that the question of #whoisit misses the point of the season finale: “The end of the story is what people saw. In the final minute of the episode, after lining up the main characters on their knees, and playing a little game of eeni, meenie, minie, moe, Negan looks directly at the camera, providing a first person view of the chosen character right before the former bludgeons this unseen victim to death while the screen goes black. Naturally, TWD fans were frustrated and confused after literally being left in the dark at the end of the season six finale. Why Rick Grimes could and should be Negan’s latest victimĭuring the last Talking Dead episode Chris Hardwick’s guests, The Walking Dead ( TWD) Executive Producers, Scott Gimple and Robert Kirman, were bombarded with questions and comments about the notorious new villain Negan and which of the main characters was his latest victim. I also subscribe to several theories and like many of you, believe several of the characters are plausible victims, but want to propose this controversial theory.

Though I am aware of how this episode plays out in the graphic novel, I am not an avid reader of the text and my analysis is based mostly on my understanding of the television series which has proven to veer from the comic’s version of the narrative.
