![]() When Negan is first introduced, he infamously murders Abraham and Glenn for no other reason than to demonstrate his power. Alpha is one of very few villains on The Walking Dead who doesn't underestimate her opponents, and thus manages to make them truly suffer. Furthermore, it is she who hatches a scheme that keeps our heroes under her thumb for years. Though Beta, the man Alpha has wrapped around her little finger, does most of the heavy lifting, it is she who herds enough walkers to basically wield this world's equivalent of a nuke. ![]() The war with the Whisperers becomes one of the strongest conflicts in the series. However, since they've captured her only daughter, Lydia, she has no choice but to roll through them with brutal vengeance. So, when she encounters Rick's group, she has very little time for their emotionality and moral compunctions. She is the first to recognize that the walkers are the weapon that brought humanity to its knees, making even the mightiest people and institutions fall. She survives by leading a group called the Whisperers, who live among the walkers and even manage to control their movements through clever herding tactics. Upset over the loss of Woodbury and its people's assimilation into the prison, he drives a tank through one of the only safe havens left in the world, and dies trying to exact physical revenge on Rick Grimes.Īlpha is curt, cold, and has no time for any weakness in her ranks. Whether he's keeping a zombified daughter alive, implying he'll rape Maggie, decapitating Hershel, or turning a gun on his own men for no good reason, the Governor is erratic and dangerous. Even his demise comes as a result of his own lunacy. There's just no telling how he'll wield his power from moment to moment. What really makes the Governor a top villain isn't his leadership, but his madness. It's not exactly a success, however: Things get very dystopian there only about a year or two out from the onset of the apocalypse. While the show has since seen a bevy of strongholds from both good guys and bad guys take shape, the Governor is the first to do it. When the Governor is introduced, he is revealed to have accomplished what Rick has failed to do: He has created a working society within the zombie apocalypse. Dawn reflexively shoots her, and is immediately shot dead by Daryl. Driven to madness by her brief time with Dawn, Beth stabs her. When Beth's group comes to negotiate a trade for Beth and Carol (who has been injured and brought to the hospital), Dawn tries to prove herself by demanding they get Noah back as well. While Beth stays back and faces the consequences from one of Dawn's men, it becomes clear that Dawn is losing control, prompting her to do something drastic. When Beth befriends a guy named Noah, they hatch an escape that half-fails, and only allows him to go. When Beth Greene arrives as a patient, she's given a crash course in Dawn's deeply and profoundly misguided way of leading. This is, as the audience knows, a long wait for a train that simply isn't coming. With resources dwindling, Dawn allows crimes like murder, forced labor, and even rape, all in the name of keeping their way of life going until a government rescue arrives. And that second victim was none other than Glenn (Steven Yeun).Dawn presides over a hospital that she and a handful of other survivors, cops, and physicians have turned into a very tense safe haven. "The Walking Dead" killed off two of the show's longtime characters in the season seven premiere. Since some of the speech Negan gave nearly mirrored the one that resulted in Glenn's death, many fans were initially relieved to find out that the fan favorite was safe from harm.Īs we soon found out, however, it wasn't just one of our survivors who felt the vengeance of Negan's bloodthirsty vampire bat, Lucille. In the comics, Glenn gets the beating from Negan's bat, which he named Lucille, in issue No. If I were Negan, I'd want to try to take out who I thought was Rick's right-hand man, something that was hinted at in the first released clip for the season. While it seemed as if Abraham's days may have been numbered, it also made sense for Negan to kill him off since he physically appeared to be the Saviors' biggest threat. 98 of "The Walking Dead" was shocking, but it always felt a little cheap for a character who was such an imposing force. ![]() Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
