Now that we've had all summer to think this over, can we come to a Cred Forumserdict that this was a great casting choice?

>wraps barbed wire around bat
>barbed wire has no barbs

This in addition to the fact that zombies don't bleed out, so barbed wire is pretty useless against them.


What kind of retarded character design is this?

Should have been Henry Rollins

quads don't lie

Extra damage, and it fucks up people that disobey him.

it's a faggot design for an edge lord show

I wish he'd shave, and bulk up to Comedian levels again.

But yeah he plays the part well, for what we've seen so far at least.

>turn the most charismatic, loud, in your face villain into generic talk quietly and calmly man

Good casting choice, shit acting

The bat is for the living.

Don't think it's for zombie killing, friendo

Yes

Rollins can't act for shit. His character in SOA came off as just plain silly.

He stretched a 3 minute entrance in the comics into a 15 minute monologue, his portrayal is shit

It's a good beard. Like a poor man's Jon Hamm beard.

Is that Jon Hamm???

>missing the entire point of the character

Negan bashes Glenn's head in, then he does the same with Abraham.

Great casting in fucking terrible shows general?

I don't watch faggot shows, faggot.

this dumb motherfucker thinks actors are responsible for editing and directorial choices

I haven't read the comics but I'm pretty sure it's purely for the intimidation factor. He rules through fear, gives people very undignified deaths as a lesson to others, and waltzes around with his scary-looking bat all day so people don't forget. Like a mean old Catholic school teacher with a ruler. There was a whole "wall of fame" of photos of his handiwork at the compound Rick's group invaded.

When it comes to practicality, everyone would probably just use some sort of spear which I think they did in the World War Z book.

It's based on a comic. But whatever. tl;dr he rules by intimidation, by being the biggest dick around. The bat is for intimidation and not supposed to be practical.

So I don't watch this piece of shit soap opera made for queers and queenies but is that guy one of those leather faggots?

he's your dad who is gay and wants to be a tough guy just like you

Nope, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, but they do look kinda similar. Coincidentally enough, he was rumored to be in talks for the role for a while and even mentioned it in an interview.

Still means it's a shitty portrayal

Why is Negan so perfect?

He really is prefect
