You have a valid point here and I agree despite the fact WD is my favorite television show. This is the same reason I don't watch the "slasher" genre of horror flick. This was much more graphic and realistic than the standard "comic book" type gore of killing zombies. I'm hoping this was a "one-of" incident to establish just how evil and violent Negan is and was intended to be a bit sensational to generate buzz and ratings for the season opener which they hope fill follow for the rest of the season. But, I'm with you. Despite how much I like the show in general, if this type of reality based gore continues on any type of regular basis I'll have to tune out.
Yeah that was over the top. I think it would have been a better choice to film ONLY a closeup reaction of those kneeling before Negan and just hear a much shorter attack by Negan while they reacted.
It was far too much gore for me.
I feel that way too. It was already way more graphic than I normally watch, and if it continues, I’ll have to quit watching.
Life is brutal. Things, when they go south in America, will be much more horrific. Might as well get used to it.
The deaths barely phased me. I guess I’m hardened.
