The Walking Dead: When and Will they kill off Negan?

After a year of putting this show on hold, I kick-started my love for it and rewatched the whole series just because I couldn't remember what episode I last watched. Now I am all caught up, with the recent episode featuring the death of a certain key character.

Time and time again I hear fans losing interest in the show. The writers will drag out an arc for as long as humanly possible and beyond. With the Negan arc first popping its head at the end of season 6 and still being at large in the most recent- season 8. Here's me just wondering where all these Saviors are coming from as it wasn't too long ago the characters were wondering if there was anyone left alive outside of Alexandria.



However, I can't complain. Despite Negan and his crew, he's actually become one of my favourite characters in the show. Even though he killed off my other favourites. He's easily the most interesting antagonist yet and pulls in my interest whenever he makes an appearance. But yes, it's left me wondering, since the character is still alive in the comics, when will we see this arc end? How will it end? The writer in me hopes that Rick and everyone, don't kill him. We have already seen that happen. Every time a new rival is introduced, Rick and the gang take them down and kill them. What if they don't let Negan die? Or am I just desperate for him to stay alive because he's making the show interesting?

I don't see Negan becoming good, but there's not really a good and bad side left in the show. If we judge good and bad on how many characters have killed, then aren't they all bad? Rick has killed his men and Negan has actually been generous enough to only kill a few of Rick's friends. If anything, is Negan becoming the good guy? I mean, Carl literally killed two of his guys in front of him and Negan showed him around the place, fed him, and drove him back home. Then Rick starts a war, massacres Negan's men, and Negan is still up for keeping him alive and keeping a deal of sharing his stuff.



I can't imagine how they are going to finish this arc and carry on. How long will they wait before introducing a new enemy? I want something different. I want them to side with Negan. To put their hatred aside. I want a new enemy that threatens everyone that it forces them together. There needs to be something that will excite fans again.

What are your thoughts? Do you think this arc will end soon or be dragged out for another season? Do you think Negan will be killed off and how do you think they will end his character? Do you like Negan? Let me know your thoughts!
