The thing that makes Negan so dangerous is that nothing he does is random or spontaneous. He knows exactly what he’s doing and why he’s doing it at all times.But he has a way of making his behaviour seem erratic and unpredictable. Which is actually quite impressive
Well, It's been almost eight years since season seven aired and I still hate him. I still haven't forgiven him for what he did and I think I never will
we basically just watched our squad get bullied for 80 minutes also I love that shot right after the credits where the camera just zooms out a bunch after Negan’s like “hot diggity dog!”, looks like something out of the Office lmao
@@JHolland it's right when they let Negan in. The camera is zoomed in on his face when he says "hot diggity dog" then it instantly pans out. It's hilarious lol
Such a good episode and Negan is such a brilliantly awful character. His dialogue is so well done and Jeffery Dean Morgan just smashes it so that we almost forget he is actually a frightening murdering bully.........almost.
This is why I think the psychology behind Negan's leadership is absolutely genius. It's like a less extreme form of Charles Manson that proves to be extremely effective. Definitely one of my favorite characters in the show.
This whole supply drop was a whole "put you in your place" move. Negan was playing mind games, but I think that this was a way for the saviors to get a little more payback since Alexandria killed over 20 of them.
The absolute joy Negan gets out of tormenting these people is actually really demented. For him to say he would also bring back Maggie to be his wife.... what a sick bastard.
The overall episode is mainly about establishing how much fear and control he has over Rick. Making him hold Lucille and testing Rick's patience and every time Rick clutches the bat is just more and more of a temptation to take Negan out right there and then. But Rick manages to find the courage to not do it.
This season gets alot of hate, mainly for the pacing and how helpless everyone in the group is, but I like it. This story is supposed to be torturous, but not everyone has given up and there's a few people that still have some fight in them. Michonne, Rosita, Carl, and maybe some others. To quote Beth, "if you don't have hope, what's the point of living?" As long as a few of them still have hope, there's still a chance they can make it through this...hopefully with minimal casualties. Great reaction though, can't for y'all to see this whole thing play out.
I don't get these people. This is a story about the end of the world lol. And it actually does have more hope than these stories tend to give. But there will be some brutal times. A lot of people tend to be uncomfortable with realistic portrayals of violence, but that's how violence should be seen. It's not supposed to feel good. I hate that most mainstream works make violence look like no big deal.
This complaint that everyone was "too helpless" never made any sense to me. In my eyes, it's completely realistic the characters were losing hope because the Saviors were much bigger and formidable threat than anything they encountered so far. Remembering S8 behind-the-scenes numbers, the Sanctuary alone is 600 people strong and I imagine at least half of them are soldiers (about 200 Saviors died in very final episode of S8, and a lot of them also in Simon's failed assault on Hilltop and we still see a bunch of them alive after S8). Then there are 3 major outposts and likely some smaller ones too and S8 lists over 270 Saviors passing in battle for outposts alone. So counting couple dozens that were brought to Hilltop, that would mean the manpower of outposts must be close to the one that Sanctuary provides, resulting in about 600 total manpower and several hundred workers. Alexandria has a population way under a hundred, Hilltop as well. So after Negan killed Abraham and Glenn and proved to Rick with that arm-chopping manipulation that he can literally do anything he wants and gets away with it, it makes perfect sense to me characters were traumatized and lost their will to fight. It wouldn't be realistic to me if Alexandria immediately started to behave in rebellious way, considering Saviors could wipe it out without any effort if they wanted to.
Rick hasn't gone anywhere. Everyone else is just being emotional and wants revenge and aren't thinking straight. Rick wants to fight just as much as anyone but he's the only one thats being smart. For me personally this is the toughest I've seen Rick.
@@CheddahSlammer You can see it in his face that he wants to fight back BADLY but doing so would only get people killed. Possibly the whole group. He is broken because there isn't anything he can do at the moment but take it. That doesn't mean he don't want to fight. Rick wants to fight back just as much as anyone, probably more.
@@KhepriProductions2022 It would be EXTREMELY difficult. Specially for a fighter like Rick is. That's why I say it's the toughest I've seen him. I can't imagine how hard it is for him to do nothing.😠🤐
I love how Negan doesn't just fly off the handle. Like he could have done something about Carl, but he liked Carl and he didn't think it was productive. He can see Carl is brave, but also immature and no real threat to his power. He can also probably tell Rick would be uncontrollable if his son was killed. I always saw Negan's group as like the Mafia or some other kind of protection racket. As you see in this episode, he sees his people as providing a service, meaning taking care of the zombies. But like the Mafia, it's not really about protection. It's about exploiting people for your own gain.
The saviors are a snake with many heads. If Negan dies, one of his lieutenants like Simon will most likely take over so things will either remain the same or become worse.
Right... that's why he takes ALL their weapons in a world where scavenging needs weapons... to help them be the best resource in this world... Jesus how dumb was that episode.
@@kbh4bratz i wouldn't say he is completely evil. in his mind he does the right thing. But he has no conscience or empathy for other people that is clear. at least not for adults. and he does like tormenting people.
The whole thing with the Saviors ('we are ALL Negan') leaves me to believe that Negan is more hydra than snake; cut off the head, and one will grow back. Sorry, I just woke up, so I'm sure if I just made sense, but it seems like that was a really clever tactic for Negan regarding both the Saviors and the Survivors.
Negan has his followers following him out of desperation and fear. Fear of what's beyond the Sanctuary's walls: starvation, suffering, death, etc. And that's not even including the constant walker threat. Its like when Dwight went and found the dude trying to escape and ordered him back, dude was reminding him how they were all living until they joined Negan. Negan promises shelter and protection, but at a very steep price. That's why I love the parallels between him and King Ezekiel. Ezekiel put on his act and became the 'king' he knew his followers needed because of the very same thing: fear and desperation. Only Ezekiel asks for reasonable returns. Y'all remember in GoT, when Jon Snow and Mance Rayder have a sit down after the Crow/Wildling battle at the Wall in season 4 and Mance tells him, "Do you want to know how I got giants and Thenns and Wildlings to come together and follow me? (paraphrasing) Because I told them all they were going to die." Same thing here. Negan took bad and desperate people and convinced them to either follow him or die. Like Mance's people, they knew the dangers facing them despite their differences or biases. Negan also, like Mance, had the ambition and charisma to pull it off successfully.
I still love Negan’s arrival at Alexandria. SO many good one-liners from Negan this episode. Merle was like that (a dick, but had good one-liners), but Negan is like Merle x 10, in that regard. I know Dwight has some complex emotions in his position with the Saviors, but it is REALLY hard to sympathize with him after that scene with Rosita. Gabriel surprising Negan when he asked about Maggie - doesn’t matter how many times I see it - cracks me up every time. Daryl wasn’t going to “plead his case” because he will not show any weakness to Negan or any indication that Negan has any power over him. Yeah, Negan’s a complete asshole...but damned if he ain’t a lot of fun to watch. Did you think about the significance of the balloons that the creepy guy was trying to take from Enid? Remember when she and Glenn were trying to send up a signal that he was out there when the walker herd attacked Alexandria? That’s what they used. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Fuck Spencer. You’d think that the zombie apocalypse would break him from being a selfish, spoiled brat, but he still doesn’t get it. This whole thing with The Saviors showing up early was just a power demonstration. A rough episode because you see everyone we’ve bonded with get relentlessly bullied.
Anon Ymous, Everything u said was 100% . I just want to add that Spencer asking Negan who he was was priceless. It had to take a little wind out of his sails bc he has to be thinking "I just bludgeoned 2 of ur people not even a week ago and you don't know who I am?!" Like he still wasn't front page news 2 every one. ROTFL!!
Ish Ajac - I’m willing to give Spencer a pass on not knowing who Negan is on sight. He may have been TOLD about this guy, but he was not there when Abraham and Glenn were killed, so he had never laid eyes on the guy. Plus, Alexandria was clearly not expecting The Saviors to drop in that day. It’s the only thing I’m willing to give him a pass on, though.
@@ishajac3637 yeah, that was definitely deliberate. And incredibly dangerous. Negan doesn't have to kill you to punish you. I liked someone from Alexandria jabbing back, even if it was Spencer. ☮️😊🧟
I still think the Governor was a worse villain. Negan has a system and rules. If you follow them, its all good. Life will suck, but youll be alive. The Governor was unpredictable. He could be ok with you one moment, and suddenly could be choking you the next. He was more ruthless as well.
The Governor is probably the worse out of ALL villains maybe Shane is the closest but The Governor is the worst out of all. The Governor is a time bomb that can explode any moment. He would've killed Rick if it wasnt for Michonne. He even almost killed Michonne who is a beast.
In the Prison back in season 4 he didnt killed Michonne but he killed Hershel because he thought that he will win the fight since he got more people and more firepower but he didnt. He is scary knowing that if he won the battle he will torture,rape and other bad things to Michonne
Negan was only powerful because of his men. The Whisperers was only powerful because they can blend in with the walkers and they could attack at any moment. But The Governor was just a normal person he use his brain and trick people with his words just like an actual Governor. I still have alot more reasons but im tired so goodbye :)
Awww, thanks you two. I am not sure what to say here but that means alot. With March around the corner, things will be hard for me. This is why I tune in to each video. You two brighten my day and the only way I deal with this kind of stuff is to do for others. Maybe someone that is reading this or watch the first 6 minutes will get something out of it and do for others cause it is the right thing to do!~Eilene aka: Elle
@Aj King Not weird at all, I’m the same way. Besides Duo Reacts I also watch RT TV, Lia Fiore, VivaMely and Georgia Corsby. They’re all at various stages of watching TWD and it’s fun to see others enjoying the show.
In that speech Rick is saying that sometimes you just have to accept things in order to survive. Rick talking to Michonne about the guns is him being completely broken.
Negan is such a prick but he does it in such a comedic way. He is the guy that you hate so much but cant help but laugh at some of the crazy stuff that he says
Wow I never realised the first time that camera recorded rick he looked crazy and scared because he'd been on the outside too long, then then the next time it records him hes got the same look for the exact opposite reason
This is such a wonderful episode. I do disagree in one thing Steve said, that there is nothing good about Negan. I find him absolutely hilarious. He's a one man quipping machine. As far as this "surprise" early visit from Negan. It was all about the guns. Negan was well aware that Rick had a ton of guns, not only Rick's own guns, but all the ones they took from the Savior outpost. The last thing Negan needs is an armed rebellious group in his territory. Frankly I'm surprised Negan left any of the former leadership alive in 7/1. I wouldn't if I was Negan. Maybe leave one to tell the tale. Otherwise you're just inviting insurrection like "make me a bullet, Hot Pants". Rick looks like he's bought in. He's broken. Scared. And terrified in allowing anyone else to die. This is certainly not a Rick we have ever seen before. The constant evolution of Rick Grimes fascinates me. Even more than Carol. A wonderful reaction from the both of you. I look forward to whatever comes next. Until then, keep on keeping on.
I agree, except it's not just the guns. Negan's doing what Rick&co. should have. Recon. The layout of Alexandria. How many people are there? How do they live? How much food do they have? Is their way of life sustainable? What threat do they pose vs. how productive will they be? Negan's no fool.
The greatness of negan is something special.. he like most of them have a code and rule to follow . Negan chose to be the big bad wolf and get his way this way.. his humorous way about himself just assists wifh keeping him on that fine line of i hate him for this or that but god i love his jokes r hilarious.. and he is a total dick for sure..
Thank you! It’s good to see someone hate Negan too! He’s evil! I know it’s a part of the story, but it’s sick! I hate seeing our group treated like this. Your a palled too❣️
Negan is definitely funny. That superficial, swaggering charm is common in psychopaths, and its a very effective weapon when used to gaslight his own people or potential future victims. It's hard for a bystander or victim to be torn between fear and laughter, hating the joker but loving the joke itself. That cognitive dissonance puts people in an awkward situation of not knowing how to feel, so when the dominant person then tells you how to feel, it can be a relief that then creates an emotional bond to the psychopath. That's how people like Negan collect loyal fans. He creates tension and then RELIEVES that tension, making people feel grateful to him. It's also how cult leaders gain followers: charisma. Scary how well this actor portrays it.
"You got a fat lady in charge of keeping track of rashions" who is this dude😅. It's so hard to make others laugh when they also hate you. Yeah Negan does.
Omgoodness! You guys are so sincere, sweet and humbling...in today's social climate it is sooo appreciated. I LOVE TWD so very much...I am thrilled you guys are enjoying it as well...God Bless you both! PS you will Hate Negan but he will make u laugh lol
YES! I cannot wait to watch something with you in real time. Where we all are in the dark about what is to come. To bounce ideas off each other. its fun to watch you guys theorize. but I will love it when we can all do it together!
Especially I'll special Glen was to Rick Glenn save Rick's life in the tank and Rick is so scared of Negan killing someone that he cares about he doesn't want anyone to die
You cut out the funniest part of the episode lol The part right when Negan comes in and says "hot diggity dog" and then the camera pans out. I can't help but laugh every time I see it lol
I prefer The Governor. Negan lead out of fear which would get even his own people to turn against him. Governor told people exactly what they wanted to hear. He's a strategist. Simon & Shane was alot like Governor. They have no morals while Negan still had his. People were a resource to Negan while people were a problem for Governor. Guy murdered his own army to make a point. There was nobody as much Too Far Gone in TWD than The Governor, holy shit.
I can understand where Spencer is coming from, but (like you guys said) he wasn't there for any of it. Plus, he just comes off as a dick when he tries to make his point (like when he blew up on Deanna). What breaks my heart about this episode is that Daryl must think that Maggie is now dead.
My whole thing with Spencer was when he mentioned Glenn and Abe to Rick... that is incredibly rude and disrespectful to do that... he may be thinking it... but you never say that to someone who just lost 2 people they love. ~ Lacey
Let's duo/do it.. first off blessings and prayers for Elle. Steve have you had an episode where you have really cried? Lacey, what season and or episode were the hardest for you? have an awesome day you two
I love your discussions after, it's awesome to see you guys speculate what will happen next. It's also fun to know what happens already so we can be like haha just wait and see :).
Something that a lot of folks don't realize is that the recovery is much more brutal and lengthy for the person donating the kidney, than the recipient.

My heart goes out to anyone who is a kidney patient, or anyone who knows one. Be well!
This is my second time watching you guys react to this show, I absolutely love it! Lol just one thing I didn't notice the first time watching y'all react was at 19:55 Steve said, "There's no way I'm gonna dig this dude" talking about Neegan.... I've already seen you guys finish this show and I'm almost 99.999% sure you're a fan of Neegan by the end 😂😂😂. Love y'all's reactions though!!
OMG, this episode killed me! Hahaha. It was so damn funny and infuriating at the same time. The freaky-ass smile comment about Father Gabriel and the comment about the fat lady in charge of the food were hysterical. Negan is a funny-ass sociopath. I hate to love him. I hate Dwight. I fucking loathe him. And that last line Negan says to Rick pissed me off to no end!
That's the kind of thing that just tickles my balls. Got my fingers crossed for a little freaky-deaky. An absolute ass-load of guns. Calling it! Watch my form! That's reading the room and getting the message. Lucille, she's gonna have her way. You are creepy as shit. It's amazing how a little: holy shit, somebody's gonna die; lights a fire under everybody's ass! Rick, is that you under that man-bush? Shee-ot! I would not have messed with that guy! The writing for Negan defies total, absolute contempt. You can't help but laugh at him and admire JDM's performance. You can hate Negan and like him at the same time. It's TWD. 🧟
Hey guys, been awhile for me! The video for UA-cam only showed about every 3 seconds and it was off. We used to see at least 8 to 10 seconds, and I know it has to be edited so it wont be taken down, but those were really quick, the actual time we saw the video of the show.😔 Enough of that....yeah, Negan is the most charismatic villain EVER! The villian you grow to love and hate at the same time! Rick is actually living a proverb my mom used to say when I was small....." When you have your hand in the lion's mouth....be still"! This episodes are hard to watch but you know some way somehow.....things will probably change for the better! Ready for Friday!
This episode was just over an hour long... so it ran about 15 minutes longer than usual. That is why I edited it the way I did... I didn't necessarily think this episode warranted a two-parter, but I do always like to leave in as much as possible... so that is why the shorter cuts. ~ Lacey
Love the reactions from the walking dead! I always enjoy them because you guys are making it awesome! Looking forward to more walking dead from you two :D
Awesome episode, it was hard watching Rick just taking everything that Negan was dishing out but he had No other option, I think Rick was speaking for every viewer when he warned Spencer, I just wish he did it and not warned him about it.
I'm happy yall are watching after the fact. When it was airing, fans were accusing the writers of manipulation. They knew fans would watch no matter how they made us feel. They made it a point to show you that Season 7a wasn't Rick's show anymore. Kinds puts you in the position the characters are in mentally. And it worked.
Also Steve you were right about David being creepy with Enid when I first watched this episode I was getting real bad vibes from him when he was getting too close to Enid and started touching her if she was my friend I would have knocked his lights out and I wouldn't have cared if he told Negan
I said it during the first enie meanie minie mo scene that negan would not mess with the version of Rick who bit that dudes throat then took on a town of cannibals the next day
My take on why the people working for Negan won't take him out it, as long as they follow the rules, they have it made. They are in a group that is at the top of the food chain. So if someone that works for him wants to take him out, they would have to risk convincing others that my be comfortable with their position to help betray him.
@@leila7132 The show hasn't specified a clear number two yet. But like in most situations, there would probably be a struggle for power. No telling how violent it would get.
Excellent breakdown guys! :-) I love the way y'all talk it out from every angle! Thank you for the original content! Keep up the great work! ~ jenn (Serenity Room Studios YTch)
But is he actually a villian? If anything, he's a saint compared to Rick and the others. They killed atleast 30 of his men unprovoked with no information (some of them being asleep) and all he did in retaliation was kill two of their people to teach them a lesson. Do villians even exist in a world where everyone is only looking out for themselves and killing needlessly like Rick's group does constantly? Let's face the facts, If Negan is a villian then the group are villians as well for all the terrible things they did.
Hey Steve and Lacey..I love watching your reactions from the walking dead I'm a nonstop fan..have watched it from start to now at least 11 times lol...
Also I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for saying this, but I do think Spencer has a point in saying if Rick had thought it through, that night in the clearing may not have happened. Rick Grimes, like any man on Earth, is far from perfect. Remember back to the season 6 finale? He was so cocky that there was no way the writers weren't setting Rick up to fail. I'm not saying it wasn't a dick move on Spencer's part to hide things from the community, but Rick isn't entirely blameless for what happened that night.
Good morning guys. You guys put a smile on my face on this shit day. My fiance Brittany and I have been wanting to make some kind of UA-cam channel together. Any tips on how to make it go smoothly?
The thing that makes Negan so dangerous is that nothing he does is random or spontaneous. He knows exactly what he’s doing and why he’s doing it at all times.But he has a way of making his behaviour seem erratic and unpredictable. Which is actually quite impressive
When Negan gets quiet and serious, that's when you know he's not playing games. "That shit is life and death."
Leila Edwards
Because that’s when he knows his games aren’t working. That’s when he really does become unpredictable.
And it's hard to tell wether he is playing mind games or being genuine
And the fact that there’s a horrible disgusting logic to it
Spencer has no idea how close he came to death when he mocked Rick about Abraham and Glenn.

The whole thing with the Saviors ('we are ALL Negan') leaves me to believe that Negan is more hydra than snake; cut off the head, and one will grow back. Sorry, I just woke up, so I'm sure if I just made sense, but it seems like that was a really clever tactic for Negan regarding both the Saviors and the Survivors.
Negan has his followers following him out of desperation and fear. Fear of what's beyond the Sanctuary's walls: starvation, suffering, death, etc. And that's not even including the constant walker threat. Its like when Dwight went and found the dude trying to escape and ordered him back, dude was reminding him how they were all living until they joined Negan. Negan promises shelter and protection, but at a very steep price. That's why I love the parallels between him and King Ezekiel. Ezekiel put on his act and became the 'king' he knew his followers needed because of the very same thing: fear and desperation. Only Ezekiel asks for reasonable returns.
Y'all remember in GoT, when Jon Snow and Mance Rayder have a sit down after the Crow/Wildling battle at the Wall in season 4 and Mance tells him, "Do you want to know how I got giants and Thenns and Wildlings to come together and follow me? (paraphrasing) Because I told them all they were going to die." Same thing here. Negan took bad and desperate people and convinced them to either follow him or die. Like Mance's people, they knew the dangers facing them despite their differences or biases. Negan also, like Mance, had the ambition and charisma to pull it off successfully.
If Spencer took the lead, I guess he would be a lot like Gregory. Afraid of too much things to decide anything that needs guts !
In the Walking Dead, it's TWD family and that is the same for the fans.
🤗❤️🧟💯
"I'm not losing anyone else" Great as always guys keep up the amazing work. ✌
I still love Negan’s arrival at Alexandria. SO many good one-liners from Negan this episode. Merle was like that (a dick, but had good one-liners), but Negan is like Merle x 10, in that regard.
I know Dwight has some complex emotions in his position with the Saviors, but it is REALLY hard to sympathize with him after that scene with Rosita.
Gabriel surprising Negan when he asked about Maggie - doesn’t matter how many times I see it - cracks me up every time.
Daryl wasn’t going to “plead his case” because he will not show any weakness to Negan or any indication that Negan has any power over him.
Yeah, Negan’s a complete asshole...but damned if he ain’t a lot of fun to watch.
Did you think about the significance of the balloons that the creepy guy was trying to take from Enid? Remember when she and Glenn were trying to send up a signal that he was out there when the walker herd attacked Alexandria? That’s what they used.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Fuck Spencer. You’d think that the zombie apocalypse would break him from being a selfish, spoiled brat, but he still doesn’t get it.
This whole thing with The Saviors showing up early was just a power demonstration. A rough episode because you see everyone we’ve bonded with get relentlessly bullied.
Anon Ymous, Everything u said was 100% .
I just want to add that Spencer asking Negan who he was was priceless. It had to take a little wind out of his sails bc he has to be thinking "I just bludgeoned 2 of ur people not even a week ago and you don't know who I am?!" Like he still wasn't front page news 2 every one. ROTFL!!
Ish Ajac - I’m willing to give Spencer a pass on not knowing who Negan is on sight. He may have been TOLD about this guy, but he was not there when Abraham and Glenn were killed, so he had never laid eyes on the guy. Plus, Alexandria was clearly not expecting The Saviors to drop in that day.
It’s the only thing I’m willing to give him a pass on, though.
@@lmj2k I like to think he did it on purpose to give Negan a jab, even if it was a small one. :) Either way, I dug it. Lol ♡♡
@@ishajac3637 yeah, that was definitely deliberate. And incredibly dangerous. Negan doesn't have to kill you to punish you. I liked someone from Alexandria jabbing back, even if it was Spencer. ☮️😊🧟
Leila Edwards - I guess I just have no faith in Spencer. I never got the impression he was smart enough to jab at anyone at the right time.
I still think the Governor was a worse villain. Negan has a system and rules. If you follow them, its all good. Life will suck, but youll be alive. The Governor was unpredictable. He could be ok with you one moment, and suddenly could be choking you the next. He was more ruthless as well.
The Governor is probably the worse out of ALL villains maybe Shane is the closest but The Governor is the worst out of all. The Governor is a time bomb that can explode any moment. He would've killed Rick if it wasnt for Michonne. He even almost killed Michonne who is a beast.
In the Prison back in season 4 he didnt killed Michonne but he killed Hershel because he thought that he will win the fight since he got more people and more firepower but he didnt. He is scary knowing that if he won the battle he will torture,rape and other bad things to Michonne
Negan was only powerful because of his men. The Whisperers was only powerful because they can blend in with the walkers and they could attack at any moment. But The Governor was just a normal person he use his brain and trick people with his words just like an actual Governor. I still have alot more reasons but im tired so goodbye :)
Awww, thanks you two. I am not sure what to say here but that means alot. With March around the corner, things will be hard for me. This is why I tune in to each video. You two brighten my day and the only way I deal with this kind of stuff is to do for others. Maybe someone that is reading this or watch the first 6 minutes will get something out of it and do for others cause it is the right thing to do!~Eilene aka: Elle
We salute you, Eilene.
@@darthken815 For those about to Rock
Didnt know you're an AC/DC fan. I think their song "Evil Walks" is the perfect theme for Negan.

Am I weird for goin on the walk-in dead journey with rttv, duo reacts, married to film at the same time even tho I’m alll the way Caught up
Then I guess we're both weird!
Right there with you.
No, you ain't weird. I watch the same ones you listed, plus:
*Nova And Mom React
*Nikki and Steven
*SoraMiyano
*DakaraJayne
Married to film and duo reacts are the two I’m watching right now lol
@Aj King Not weird at all, I’m the same way. Besides Duo Reacts I also watch RT TV, Lia Fiore, VivaMely and Georgia Corsby. They’re all at various stages of watching TWD and it’s fun to see others enjoying the show.
I love to watch this episode, just laguhing with Negan mental game and jokes.
It's hard to like Negan and also hard to not like Negan due to his charisma and style. He is so good at mind fucking people into submission.
In that speech Rick is saying that sometimes you just have to accept things in order to survive.
Rick talking to Michonne about the guns is him being completely broken.
Really makes me wonder how Shane would handle Negan and all the other "villians". That's something i'll always be curious about.
Negan is such a prick but he does it in such a comedic way. He is the guy that you hate so much but cant help but laugh at some of the crazy stuff that he says
Wow I never realised the first time that camera recorded rick he looked crazy and scared because he'd been on the outside too long, then then the next time it records him hes got the same look for the exact opposite reason
This is such a wonderful episode. I do disagree in one thing Steve said, that there is nothing good about Negan. I find him absolutely hilarious. He's a one man quipping machine. As far as this "surprise" early visit from Negan. It was all about the guns. Negan was well aware that Rick had a ton of guns, not only Rick's own guns, but all the ones they took from the Savior outpost. The last thing Negan needs is an armed rebellious group in his territory. Frankly I'm surprised Negan left any of the former leadership alive in 7/1. I wouldn't if I was Negan. Maybe leave one to tell the tale. Otherwise you're just inviting insurrection like "make me a bullet, Hot Pants".
Rick looks like he's bought in. He's broken. Scared. And terrified in allowing anyone else to die. This is certainly not a Rick we have ever seen before. The constant evolution of Rick Grimes fascinates me. Even more than Carol.
A wonderful reaction from the both of you. I look forward to whatever comes next. Until then, keep on keeping on.
I agree, except it's not just the guns. Negan's doing what Rick&co. should have. Recon. The layout of Alexandria. How many people are there? How do they live? How much food do they have? Is their way of life sustainable? What threat do they pose vs. how productive will they be? Negan's no fool.
The greatness of negan is something special.. he like most of them have a code and rule to follow . Negan chose to be the big bad wolf and get his way this way.. his humorous way about himself just assists wifh keeping him on that fine line of i hate him for this or that but god i love his jokes r hilarious.. and he is a total dick for sure..
Thank you! It’s good to see someone hate Negan too! He’s evil! I know it’s a part of the story, but it’s sick! I hate seeing our group treated like this.
Your a palled too❣️
One of the best ways to spend my break with you guys ❤️
Negan is definitely funny. That superficial, swaggering charm is common in psychopaths, and its a very effective weapon when used to gaslight his own people or potential future victims. It's hard for a bystander or victim to be torn between fear and laughter, hating the joker but loving the joke itself. That cognitive dissonance puts people in an awkward situation of not knowing how to feel, so when the dominant person then tells you how to feel, it can be a relief that then creates an emotional bond to the psychopath. That's how people like Negan collect loyal fans. He creates tension and then RELIEVES that tension, making people feel grateful to him. It's also how cult leaders gain followers: charisma. Scary how well this actor portrays it.
"You got a fat lady in charge of keeping track of rashions" who is this dude😅. It's so hard to make others laugh when they also hate you. Yeah Negan does.
Steve (season 7): I don't think I'm ever gonna like this guy
Steve (season 9): lancy I think I'm starting to like this guy
Omgoodness! You guys are so sincere, sweet and humbling...in today's social climate it is sooo appreciated. I LOVE TWD so very much...I am thrilled you guys are enjoying it as well...God Bless you both! PS you will Hate Negan but he will make u laugh lol
YES! I cannot wait to watch something with you in real time. Where we all are in the dark about what is to come. To bounce ideas off each other. its fun to watch you guys theorize. but I will love it when we can all do it together!
Especially I'll special Glen was to Rick Glenn save Rick's life in the tank and Rick is so scared of Negan killing someone that he cares about he doesn't want anyone to die
I love you calling her Hot Pants. The actress needs to see this.
You cut out the funniest part of the episode lol
The part right when Negan comes in and says "hot diggity dog" and then the camera pans out. I can't help but laugh every time I see it lol
Yesss been waiting for this one! Just watching now ready for Negan and Gabes first meeting reaction lol 😂💯
negan flexes too much. if you push people too far, theyll have no choice but to fight back
Now what they have no guns? Negan is in my opinion the best villain ever in the series! Great reaction guys!
Negan is my Third favorite Villain :)
1. The Governor
2. Shane
3. Negan
I prefer The Governor. Negan lead out of fear which would get even his own people to turn against him. Governor told people exactly what they wanted to hear. He's a strategist. Simon & Shane was alot like Governor. They have no morals while Negan still had his. People were a resource to Negan while people were a problem for Governor. Guy murdered his own army to make a point. There was nobody as much Too Far Gone in TWD than The Governor, holy shit.
Negan's choice of words/wording cracks me up lol
" Thats one bad bitchh " 😂
I can understand where Spencer is coming from, but (like you guys said) he wasn't there for any of it. Plus, he just comes off as a dick when he tries to make his point (like when he blew up on Deanna).
What breaks my heart about this episode is that Daryl must think that Maggie is now dead.
My whole thing with Spencer was when he mentioned Glenn and Abe to Rick... that is incredibly rude and disrespectful to do that... he may be thinking it... but you never say that to someone who just lost 2 people they love. ~ Lacey
Let's duo/do it.. first off blessings and prayers for Elle. Steve have you had an episode where you have really cried? Lacey, what season and or episode were the hardest for you? have an awesome day you two
This episode can be a little hard to watch at first, but it's pretty much comedy gold every other time. I love watching reactions to this episode.
This episode was *AMAZING* 🤟
Welcome to the “Negan lean”.
Ah yes I forgot this is the episode where rick finally says Judith isn’t his
I love your discussions after, it's awesome to see you guys speculate what will happen next. It's also fun to know what happens already so we can be like haha just wait and see :).
this episode was torture!
This is why I love Negan so much. You are supposed to hate him, but because of all the charm and funny lines he says you (like/) tolerate him lol
Something that a lot of folks don't realize is that the recovery is much more brutal and lengthy for the person donating the kidney, than the recipient. Also, obviously, you're infinitely more likely to experience kidney failure in the future, once you've donated one of yours. It's a big and difficult decision to make for some.
My heart goes out to anyone who is a kidney patient, or anyone who knows one. Be well!
These episodes were a bit much for me. It was hard for me to watch Rick get verbally shit on time after time.
I actually enjoy it for the funny dialogue we get out of it
17:00 Negan has rules that are unbreakable
This is my second time watching you guys react to this show, I absolutely love it! Lol just one thing I didn't notice the first time watching y'all react was at 19:55 Steve said, "There's no way I'm gonna dig this dude" talking about Neegan.... I've already seen you guys finish this show and I'm almost 99.999% sure you're a fan of Neegan by the end 😂😂😂. Love y'all's reactions though!!
rosita is in full revenge mode
OMG, this episode killed me! Hahaha. It was so damn funny and infuriating at the same time. The freaky-ass smile comment about Father Gabriel and the comment about the fat lady in charge of the food were hysterical. Negan is a funny-ass sociopath. I hate to love him. I hate Dwight. I fucking loathe him. And that last line Negan says to Rick pissed me off to no end!
That's the kind of thing that just tickles my balls.
Got my fingers crossed for a little freaky-deaky.
An absolute ass-load of guns.
Calling it! Watch my form!
That's reading the room and getting the message.
Lucille, she's gonna have her way.
You are creepy as shit.
It's amazing how a little: holy shit, somebody's gonna die; lights a fire under everybody's ass!
Rick, is that you under that man-bush? Shee-ot! I would not have messed with that guy!
The writing for Negan defies total, absolute contempt. You can't help but laugh at him and admire JDM's performance. You can hate Negan and like him at the same time. It's TWD. 🧟
Hey guys, been awhile for me! The video for UA-cam only showed about every 3 seconds and it was off. We used to see at least 8 to 10 seconds, and I know it has to be edited so it wont be taken down, but those were really quick, the actual time we saw the video of the show.😔 Enough of that....yeah, Negan is the most charismatic villain EVER! The villian you grow to love and hate at the same time! Rick is actually living a proverb my mom used to say when I was small....." When you have your hand in the lion's mouth....be still"! This episodes are hard to watch but you know some way somehow.....things will probably change for the better! Ready for Friday!
This episode was just over an hour long... so it ran about 15 minutes longer than usual. That is why I edited it the way I did... I didn't necessarily think this episode warranted a two-parter, but I do always like to leave in as much as possible... so that is why the shorter cuts. ~ Lacey
@@DuoReacts It was still good, though.....just notice the intervals! Keep doing what you do, girl! Im still with yall!😂
Love the reactions from the walking dead! I always enjoy them because you guys are making it awesome! Looking forward to more walking dead from you two :D
Awesome episode, it was hard watching Rick just taking everything that Negan was dishing out but he had No other option, I think Rick was speaking for every viewer when he warned Spencer, I just wish he did it and not warned him about it.
I'm happy yall are watching after the fact. When it was airing, fans were accusing the writers of manipulation. They knew fans would watch no matter how they made us feel. They made it a point to show you that Season 7a wasn't Rick's show anymore. Kinds puts you in the position the characters are in mentally. And it worked.
Some amazing thinking from Gabriel right there
Two days a week isent enough 😭😭 lol Great reaction and theories as always!
"There's no way i'm going to ever like this dude" Once your in season 10 i'll say i told you so
That. One. Bullet. Casing.
Also Steve you were right about David being creepy with Enid when I first watched this episode I was getting real bad vibes from him when he was getting too close to Enid and started touching her if she was my friend I would have knocked his lights out and I wouldn't have cared if he told Negan
12:59 "COOAARLLL"!!!! LOL
Great editing, great full reaction too.. also watched yer guys's silent hill reaction.. awesome
But who do you preffered governor Gareth or negan
Jeffrey D. Morgan hits it out of the park in that role. he is amazing.
I said it during the first enie meanie minie mo scene that negan would not mess with the version of Rick who bit that dudes throat then took on a town of cannibals the next day
My take on why the people working for Negan won't take him out it, as long as they follow the rules, they have it made. They are in a group that is at the top of the food chain. So if someone that works for him wants to take him out, they would have to risk convincing others that my be comfortable with their position to help betray him.
And who will be the new leader? From what we've seen of the Saviors maybe Negan is the lesser evil.
@@leila7132 The show hasn't specified a clear number two yet. But like in most situations, there would probably be a struggle for power. No telling how violent it would get.
I thought I remembered Negan saying that Simon was his number two when he was talking to Rick after killing Abe. ~ Lacey
@@DuoReacts I couldn't remember if he did or not and I didn't want to spoil anything.
@@DuoReacts He did say that
Where can I buy a guitar like that?

Excellent breakdown guys! :-) I love the way y'all talk it out from every angle! Thank you for the original content! Keep up the great work! ~ jenn (Serenity Room Studios YTch)
Thanks Jennifer! ~ Lacey
Negan is an amazing villan
But is he actually a villian? If anything, he's a saint compared to Rick and the others. They killed atleast 30 of his men unprovoked with no information (some of them being asleep) and all he did in retaliation was kill two of their people to teach them a lesson. Do villians even exist in a world where everyone is only looking out for themselves and killing needlessly like Rick's group does constantly? Let's face the facts, If Negan is a villian then the group are villians as well for all the terrible things they did.
Hey Steve and Lacey..I love watching your reactions from the walking dead I'm a nonstop fan..have watched it from start to now at least 11 times lol...
Great reaction video guys!... keep on keeping on!
Also I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for saying this, but I do think Spencer has a point in saying if Rick had thought it through, that night in the clearing may not have happened. Rick Grimes, like any man on Earth, is far from perfect. Remember back to the season 6 finale? He was so cocky that there was no way the writers weren't setting Rick up to fail. I'm not saying it wasn't a dick move on Spencer's part to hide things from the community, but Rick isn't entirely blameless for what happened that night.
Good morning guys. You guys put a smile on my face on this shit day. My fiance Brittany and I have been wanting to make some kind of UA-cam channel together. Any tips on how to make it go smoothly?
Be yourself... have personality... focus on quality, audio and lighting... and have tons of free time for editing LOL ~ Lacey
Duo Reacts Ok thank you for the advice lacey :)
Perspective - How many people has Negan killed of Rick's group? How many people of Negan's did Rick have killed?
Going through and watching all of ur twd reactions. Was curious what ur guy’s opinion was on season 7!
