She stole medicine from Negan, a little bit different than asking for it. If she was a man she would have been kilt probably.

I mean maybe you have a point, I don't feel like going back and rewatching/reading that part after how long it took to find that example from 117.. but I'm pretty certain there's a sense of debt from that. Keep the medicine, be my wife, Dwight, be cool.


In the comics, and in the TV show, it starts with Carl opening fire on dudes, killing several, while Negan hides behind them. I do not think Negan was making it easy for Carl. We also see a very limited perspective of what Carl would actually be able to shoot, since this is a TV show with cameras, and a comic book with panels. Beyond having no shot, there's the human element of taking a life when the person is acknowledging you and not threatening you back. It's easy to shoot scared soldiers running to defend themselves. It's not so easy to shoot someone in a calm situation where everyone is already alert, let alone when that person is talking to you and de escalating the situation from violence. Even if they've done horrendous things to your friends, they could have had their men tear you apart and yet you're both talking.

But someone else said this is a TV show and that doesn't count. So what else is left in this overdrawn argument? As an elitist comic reader I just want to say to stay tuned.

Dude, you are like a bottomless well of excuses for this steaming pile of a show and it's bad writing.

I think that Negan doesn't want to die, but worries more about what happens to him if he lives like the people he oppresees.

So he acts the way he does because the alternative is being the people under him. If he dies then it is better than being run under a copy Negan.
I don't doubt that he's aware of the footing he's standing on however he is a fully-entitiled and fully-enthusiastic tyrant. I think he's the first instance of that which has occurred in TWD as well, because the governor really felt he was doing good (even though he was a closet psychopath who regularl;y made out with his own daughter's zombie), and he ended up gaining a lot of humanity after everything went to poo poo for him. The cannibals were counterpunching at threats which had damaged them, etc etc.

Negan - (Gets right up close to the face of his victim and whispers menacingly) You can be my wife or...YOU and your WHOLE FAMILY can do that ... OTHER JOB...
Slave - no, no...(sobs)

It's the equivalent of basic training - get torn down to the shreds of your humanity and self-respect and then after being forced to scrub toilets with a toothbruth - suddenly you're shoved out into a spotlight and tolf CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE A REAL WARRIOR!!!

I am looking forward to when Daryl gets his crossbow back and then Negan asks him to shoot Rick in the back with a poisoned quarrell Or maybe it'll be the bitchy Alexandria-leader-lady's son, using that brand new compound bow he's so proud of. I'd prefer the former but I expect the latter.

Negan on the TV show is different from what I've seen in the comics, and we obviously have not come anywhere near the full presentation of the story. The way it is presented in the comics could go either way, but there's a lot that says he cares a great deal about women

and I loving hate this discussion because in order to prove my point to an audience that watches the TV show, I need to delve into comic spoilers and I don't want to do that. It's ok if you guys hate negan. You're supposed to. And a TV show is going to give you every reason to do so.\

The show is loving up things from the comic in execution, like Carl's attack where another poster pointed out He actually was shooting anyone coming near on the fly, looking for Negan, and Negan doesn't reveal himself until Dwight beat the poo poo out of him. Defending him with his comics version isn't really doable when the show makes really dumb changes like that.

While we're on the worst possible discussion to have on the internet, I will say Walking Dead isn't the only show to make stupid changes from the source material. See the completely accidental and unintended straight up rape scene from GoT involving a certain Lannister.

It's not just a vibe. It's an actual thing. He's a rapist. I can't speak on behalf of the comics because I haven't read them but show Negan is a rapist. It doesn't matter how he was in the comics because this thread is about the show. And it doesn't matter that you're ahead of the show in the comics because there's nothing they could do with Negan's character that would retroactively change the fact that he's a rapist. He doesn't believe this of himself, obviously, but that's what he is.

Can't you just admit it?

Even if he is some great noble guy or whatever in the comic, who cares? This is the TV show thread. In the TV show Negan is a rapist through coercion. It's a fact that isn't open to interpretation. Based on what Negan in the show has said, living on the points system is a fate nobody would want and they'd rather be dead. Being presented with an option of a horrible life/death and a less bad life but you have to compromise your morals to do it is like the textbook definition of coercion, and sex through coercion is factually a form of rape.

If you want to say the comic Negan is a good guy and loves women, fine, but you're coming across like people who say there were good slave owners. No matter how well you treat your slaves you're still not a good person.

Yeah I understand that now. My main hope watching the show lately is that it lives up to what I enjoyed in the comics, because it's what got me so interested in the show to begin with (not just Negan). I heard about Negan from the internet before I watched season 4, and there was a cult following despite how scary of a dude he's supposed to be. I wanted to share some of that excitement but it backfired I guess. Someone is surely going to twist that last sentence around.

I am not convinced that the "go back to husband" option means death or horrible jobs for loved ones. Everyone that thinks Negan is a rapist thinks he will kill them if they leave him. We're not having this argument anymore because we're not having the same discussion and that's ok.

As far as I can tell, it's a bribe or prostitution, not coercion or slavery, because of the context where they actually have an option to leave without punishment. If they have a consequence for leaving Negan, or are forced to be his wife to begin with, that is rape.

:colbert:

even though multiple people have shown you why you're objectively wrong. Poster with the duck avatar seriously just did it and when you scan past that to continue weirdly misinterpreting rape it makes you read like an awfully maladjusted weirdo.

If this was just another "I don't think they're cannibals, guys" bit it would just be funny, but your ideas of consent - as revealed through this discussion - seem to be genuinely hosed up.

Leather shoes, yes.

People should keep cows for meat, milk and their hides for armor. Also they should probably live on boats in lakes and seas. Only coming on land to milk the aforementioned cows. Those cows should preferably be kept in specifically designed cow boats, though. I mean, it's all pretty straightforward, you know.

This show is so slowwwww and I find myself fast forwarding through much of it. Yet, here I am watching it weekly unable to stop. That's been my gripe with Neagan. It takes forever for anything to happen while he leans back with his head tilted making threats not threats while others do the same stuff they've always done which is nothing that goes no where except at the cliffhanger mid-season break and finale.

My favorite part was Rick finding that boat and the zombie moat and that was like 30 seconds. I guess what I want is McGuyver set in a zombie apocalypse. I just want to see world exploration, makeshift survival inventions and what not.

Kirkman was interviewed by Neil deGrasse Tyson recently on his Star Talk podcast. Kirkman said he wanted to make a soap opera but with zombies in it so I guess that explains it all.
