IMO it wasn't the graphic nature of the death that was the issue on its own, it's that they pulled that stunt where they had us "guessing" who would die at the end of the last season, then pulled a fakeout by having Negan kill Abraham, making us think "Oh wow, they changed Glenn's death from the comics" only to then whip around and kill Glenn in an excessively brutal gut-wrenching fashion. And this was after a Glenn death fakeout with the dumpster.

If they hadn't pulled the cliffhanger nonsense, then had Abraham die, on top of the dumpster fakeout, I don't think it would have been so controversial. Glenn was supposed to die, and he was supposed to die horribly. But he wasn't supposed to die after all that nonsense.

I didn't really watch the show regularly after Glenn died at all. I went from watching it every week to just occasionally reading spoilers.

Abraham deserved better 💔 maybe I’m biased because I like the actor but damn, he just wanted to survive and help people.

to make it more heartbreaking right before he gets hit he does that peace sign hand gesture to his girlfriend at the time who i forgot but she played michael in the newly cancelled star trek and she saw the gesture and started crying harder

breaks my heart because i was rooting for them

I remember now that you commented!!! Ughghghh. That was so good and heartbreaking.

I remember being so mad when they killed Abraham! He did deserve better imo.

My sister and I didn't like him for the longest time, and just when we started to like him they killed him off.

It was also spoiled immediately because it was obvious who DIDNT return to Georgia to film the next season so it wasn’t some huge cliffhanger they thought it would be.

this was exactly it. i'll never forget the rage when the spoilers leaked that the season ended with a POV of who was getting hit and then it turned out to be true
