It was definitely as brutal, probably more. But **** I wish they hadn't killed Abe.

 

To the comics yes. It was just a brutal and he really broke Rick in the same way without some of the famous lines. The flashbacks were bearable I guess but could of done without. To the cliffhanger... nah f*ck that. The premiere was a 10 but that was still shit.

 

I have to say the Tv series version was better than the comic. It was horrific to watch than the comic and seeing Rick that way broke my heart. I felt like what I saw tonight wasn't real. The finale was a good remix of them getting captured by the saviors cat and mouse but the cliffhanger makes it ugh.

 

I think they screwed up One thing

They went to two deaths to play a double bluff on people Reading the comics.
People Reading the comics knew a brutal death was coming and they knew it was glenn.
So when negan picks Abe in the tv show everyone is shocked cause they expected to be Glenn. First bluff.
So now everyone is in the mood "Glenn is safe" and thats when they kill him too. Double bluff.
Except that

Except that due to the unfortunate decision of splitting this in two episodes six months away from each others in the internet era almost anyone tonight was already aware that glenn and Abe both would have died. So the double bluff was almost pointless.

I agree with this and I feel like I (and probably others) wouldn't have been looking for spoilers and focusing on deaths for the premiere if they had killed Abe in the finale. We would have thought Negan was done killing for now. It would have made Glen's death in the premiere shocking. I would have liked them to have Daryl react and punch Negan and end it there in S6 with a threat to the group, then pick back up. Then spoilers might have shown Norman filming further, so there would be some doubt about anyone being killed. Cue S7 and Glen gets smashed in - talk about a shock.

I think it was destined to be spoiled.

Totally agree...also people noticing Glenn was not at filming would have perhaps thought he was just not in a run of episodes...The premier could have still been almost identical in format with the Glenn reveal at roughly the same time in the show - would have been a real shock!

 

I'm also questioning whether either Glenn or Abe could have been paid to turn up to the filming set a few times to throw people off the scent...if I was one of them, I'd have done it for free (other work commitments allowing) to help maintain the "suspense" :Grin:

 

Glenn's death rated a season finale, given the source material and the importance of the character.

Abraham's death could have been worked into 616 or 701.
