weird dynamics
seem like Rick went to the darkside and Negan deoesnt seem so bad after all.
shareAny time you start to feel like Negan's not such a bad guy, just remember (and visualize) what he did to Glenn and Abraham.
It's great that they're making him nuanced....and show that he even has some good (even compassionate) qualities. And who knows what awful tragedies made him the man he is now. But he can't escape the evil he has done.
Rick started it by attacking the satellite station, before that they are not harm by the Saviours.Rick's group murdered defenseless people in their sleep how do u justtify that?
Then the show made Rick even worse by not keeping his word when the escapees decided to trust him, its hard to root for Rick when he behave just lke the baddies.
This article really make a good point

All the Saviors had it coming. I reject your angle of making them "innocent" victims. They attack and subjugate other people, they attack and enslave people, stealing from them and killing, brutalizing those that resist. If they didn't do that evil to others than Rick's community would never have had any issue with them.
Negen and the Saviors welcomed any violence that comes their way based on their evil ways of enslaving others and stealing from them and killing them.
not really they didnt do that to the Kingdom as long they pay some sort of tribute, Negan system is only use violence when they retaliate and he welcome anyone to join them. To add on I believe Negan will keep his word unlike Rick.
shareOK, let me remind you a couple of things that you probably don't remember.
The first Saviours that we met were the group that stopped Daryl, Abraham and Sasha and were going to kill one of them.
Negan sent the Hilltoppers to kill Gregory because something was wrong with their 'tribute'.
Jesus told Rick that Negan killed a teenager as a way to present himself.
We saw lots of polaroids of bashed heads during the raid at the satellite outpost.
The Librarians were exterminated and the last of them was used as an example.
Negan himself toyed with the group just because he could, bashed Abraham's head and made fun of Rosita. Then he bashed Glenn's head too and proceeded to break Rick's spirit.
In Season 7 we've been reminded time and again that Negan's business model is to kill one person 'right off the bat' to set things straight. Then he proceeds to enslave the community that will have to give half of everything they have and provide stuff or suffer the dire consequences.
At the Sanctuary he reigns supreme through fear and his soldiers are ancouraged to bully the workers. He enforces phisical punishment, but only for 'crimes' against his rules, which don't include bullying of the Sanctuary's workers. Also, he keeps an harem of sex slaves, basically rape, since the women are forced by circumstances to enter the agreement. Which is quite hypocritical since he doesen't abide direct rape.
He had Olivia killed just to make a point and Rick was actually doing his best to comply. He killed Spencer in cold blood just because he didn't like his proposal.
There's more, but I think that's enough to demonstrate that Rick is nothing like Negan, who's a complete monster.
The Saviours are constantly shown as being nasty people who rejoice in violence and abuse. Very few of them are shown in a more positive light and usually are fugitives or outcasts.
Lastly, the Kingdom was spared for a while thanks to Gavin, who wasn't as bloodthirsty as Simon or Negan himslef, but ultimately they were subjected to violence too.
Abraham was no choir boy, Ricks group MURDERED people in their sleep.
I've no wish to defend Negan but there’s very few characters I like in Rick's group these days, I couldn’t care less if they all killed each other tbh.
