The Walking Dead Scene That People Think Went Too Far – Looper

We here at Looper were curious about the "Walking Dead" fandom's picks for its most stomach-churning scenes, and the people didn't disappoint. When we polled536 individuals from the United States, 27.61% (148 respondents) agreed thatNegan Smith (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) brutally murdering Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun) and Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz) was the hardest moment to handle and the "Walking Dead" scene that crossed a line.

For those who don't recall, in the "Walking Dead" Season 7 premiere, ominously and aptly entitled "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be," Negan taunts Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his group of fellow survivors, whom he has ordered to kneel on the ground and declare their loyalty to him. He chooses Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz) to make an example of, using his barbed-wire-covered bat Lucille to bludgeoning Abraham in the head.When Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) attempts to take a stand and punches Negan, things go from bad to worse. Negan decides that the group needs to be further punished, and he selects Glenn has his next victim, killing him in the same manner he killed Abraham.

Glenn and Abraham's murders have been remembered in infamy, and even one of the "Walking Dead" stars involved in the scene thought it went too far. During an appearance on the "Talk Dead to Me" podcast, produced by Skybound, Abraham actor Michael Cudlitz revealed his true thoughts.

"I always think it was a bridge too far, personally. I thought it was too much.Either one of us should have lived a little bit longer, because people were very affected by it. They said, 'Oh my gosh, it was the most graphic, brutal deaths, it was murder porn,' all this stuff," he said.

Cudlitz added that he knows more gruesome deaths happened in "The Walking Dead," but Glenn and Abraham's struck viewers because they loved the characters so much: "There were a lot of other killings and murders and lives lost on the show that were a lot more brutal.[But] the fact that I think you loved Abraham and Glenn so much as an audience, that's what makes it more brutal.
