Werner Herzog, "you wanna know how I survived" (Jack Reacher). I love Mallory (Natural Born Killers) True detective season 2 (bully scene) Alabama Marine talks about his first kill
One of the things I love about how Negan talks is how he's plain and simple, like if he's talking to a kid. Makes sense since he used to be a teacher. Notice how he explains things happily and smiling, always joking and using examples easy to understand. He had to develop this skill to work with kids. Now he uses the same strategy, but talking about killing and bloody stuff haha
I think he was a really good teacher. He's got a real soft spot for kids, except that one time when he almost killed Carl but he was stopped by a tiger. That was very _stupid._
@@alec6583. To be fair Carl was a active threat and the kids dad was one unlucky day away from getting his murder jacket back on and we all know what happens then.
@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvus I feel it would have been more demasculating for Rick if Negan just openly criticized his parenting and told him "he's seeing a noticeable decline in Carl's behavior" and he "wonders if there are problems at home." In the apocalypse, he would have just looked psychotic.
@@alec6583i very firmly believe negan was never going to kill carl, he was just acting like he’s going to swing at him the same way he did with daryl. negan probably knew rick would be like “stop!” or something when the bat gets close to carl’s head and then negan would laugh and use the fear in rick to stop things from getting worse for negan. idk if any of that made sense my english isn’t the best. that’s how i imagine it would’ve gone if shiva hadn’t jumped in
"How can you fight longer than possible, endure what is harder than possible. .Without the single most valueable fuel.... The fear of death..." -Some prison guy, talking to Bruce Wayne.
Moral of the story is, if Negan see’s red and attacks a man for being rude to his wife, you don’t want to be the guy responsible for killing his sick wife.
Good actors will do that and he’s a VERY good one, he was the goat in supernatural too. Sam and dean go after you and you might live but their dad was to the big bad guys what the big bad guys were to Sam and dean.
Got to be the most intimidating scene Ive ever seen on a show. Soon as he said "I got some stuff to get off my chest this time as well" it's like damn, he just loves to play cat and mouse
It’s as much for him too, it’s cathartic to explain yourself even if it’s to a soon to be past tense person with the added bonus of rubbing some salt in the wound. Nothing worse than a beat down with the knowledge that you deserve it and nothing will save you from the vindicated violence you now are feeling. Remember negan is a teacher first and for most
@@lanusax Nah, u talking shit now. He literally used to slave people and threats and kill another communities without reason. He also forced dwight's wife to marry him otherwise he would kill him if she didn't. Now u see, it's doesn't mean he is a villain bcause there are no villains or heroes in this world, but he wasn't definitely a good person.
@@pietrogomes3991 And his amoral and immoral little speech here suggests the opposite of an anti-hero. It's the equivalent of screaming "I can do anything I want, and nobody can stop me!" He got forgiveness from his wife for his cheating, but then goes and gets himself a harem of women to mistreat as leader of the saviors. As he's walking out of the clubhouse with his wife's chemo drugs he hears Laura being assaulted and just rides off. Yeah, a real anti-hero emerges in this episode.
@@pietrogomes3991 Tbf about the Dwight's wife situation, Negan didn't give that proposal, he was going to kill Dwight. His wife made the offer to bargain.
You can forgive for what he did. Rick and his group had just killed over 30 of Negan's people in their sleep so killing two from Rick's side was a fair game
@@ollie-pn1ql Negan is a megolomaniac sociopath. He kills atleast 1 from every camp he visits, takes their supplies, takes other ppl's wives and burns their partner's faces . Negan also cheated on his wife. Seriously comparing what rick did in 1 season to negan's chronic sociopathic behaviour is plain dumb.
@@walterkovacs6117 play by its rules and everybody is safe u break his rules that he took u in and protected u yeah u gotta work ya ass off but and u Family are safe and if ya break those well u gotta be punished unlike Alpha Negan burns ya face but ya alive and ya still can work ya way up like Dwight he lost 30 people and a Base and yet he took only 2 out and gives u the chance to give him 50% of u shit and work ur way up Rick wanted Revenge seeing who got the bigger balls and brought Death to hundred of people and Carol done way more worse things than Negan by Killing childrens
@@edonissmustafaa3596 u just defined a sociopath. And like u said,Rick just wanted revenge. Negan is a megalomaniac egotist,who makes his rules whimsically,kills people whimsically,and intimidates them to bend to his will, and that also includes taking others wives. Negan is a narcissistic sociopath .Rick provides and gives them security for growth and whatnot and tried to keep his sanity until the very end. Saying negan is a better human being is not only laughable,but shows slave mentality.
He carried the later parts of the comics too until he left just before the Commonwealth stuff began. In the comics, he just has one cameo panel in the last issue, and he doesn’t come back into the story like he does in the show. I still recommend the comics though because they’re awesome and just different enough from the show to surprise you and keep you on your toes. Take this scene for example. In the “Here’s Negan” spin-off for the comics, his first human kill happens because the leader of some other group offers Negan a chance to rape a woman, and he finally snaps after months of feeling guilty over not putting down Lucille (unlike the show) and all the people dying around him in several groups while he was the only one who’d survive. He then goes on to explain how he sees the baseball bat being like how Lucille is watching over him.
This flashback story is so compelling because it shows that someone who was actually a good person can take such a dark path in their life all cos of 1 thing. It’s also interesting because in contrast, Rick and Negan are very alike. The person I’d have loved to see was Daryl working alongside Negan, as Negan kinda represents the darker path that Daryl did NOT take. Similar to his brother Merle. Alongside Negan, Daryl could have easily been one of the biggest assholes due to his rough edged persona.
I'm not sure via Daryl. I kind of see it but he was fiercely independent in the early seasons & always had a pure moral compass, the way he felt personally responsible for Sophia (when it really wasn't his fault) proved that. You could only have broken him with affection, force and/or assurances of safety wouldn't have worked & those were Negan's two strategies. The sure thing among past & present members of Rick's group would've been Shane if he'd have left like he'd originally planned too. Exactly the personality type Negan fed on (possessive) & would've been a cracking way to bring him back if the writing panned out differently. Would've been an even better version of Dwight.
I think Negan represents the dark path that Rick in fact did not take. The thrifty typewriter explains in his Negan video that Rick very well could’ve become a Negan esque character had he been dealt different cards, perhaps not finding his family and having a great deal of misfortune at the beginning of the apocalypse. With that, Negan also could’ve become a leader similar to that of Rick. Had he been more fortunate at the start of the apocalypse, and may be saved his wife and had a reason to keep his humanity intact. Something to think about for sure.
@@HHHBFResurrected you have a fair point. But despite the fact he was independent, he was always on the fence with his morality, but his loyalty was key. Just play along with me for a minute: Let’s say Merle and Daryl were never taken in by the Atlanta camp, they never met Shane, Dale, Glenn or any of them. If they had met Negan and joined his crew, you could 100% expect them to stay loyal to negan, work with him and do their thing together. If they met Rick and the others later, there’s no chance they would be merciful about it. I mean there was definitely a key moment when Daryl and Merle were having an argument about when they had planned to rob the camp, or when the prison was taken and Daryl went with the claimers. He followed their code, and could have easily been one of them. I just think that if Daryl was pushed and manipulated by negan, he would have been 100% his right hand man over Simon and he would’ve gone along with it. Also agree with the next comment that Shane would have been exactly what Negan was looking for.
@@saifaliyaseen914 I couldn't see Negan's tactics working on him. I see what you're saying but I just couldn't imagine Daryl being comfortable enough to call himself Negan even if he didn't believe it, just can't. I could see them (Daryl & Merle) having an arrangement of sorts with the Saviours, like the garbage people, that wasn't predicated on Negan owning them, cos he'd be smart enough to know they could be a useful ace in the hole but that's it.
In the comics Negan was always a bad man, cheated on his wife WHILE she had cancer, was a total asshole to the kids he coached as a gym teacher and would not take shit from anyone. He was never a good guy or some anti-hero he was just a bad man who became the biggest monster in a world ruled by them which made him the exact person you want on your side in such a world. This version is ok but just seems too... sanitized to me.
So let me guess why you watched this episode, you heard about negan, watched scenes of and became so fascinated with him and this episode about his backstory was the last straw that convinced to watch the show? I convinced my best friend to start watching the show cos of negan too
@@mrj4082 110% accurate. It also forced me to really look in on some of my worst qualities and work on them, because I really identified with him prior to finding out the awful things he did
To be fair they had to tone down the Governor from his comic version. Comic Governor was even more of a piece of shit and I'd say he was willing to do far more terrible things than even Negan lol
Man what I would give to be able to see what him and Abe would be like right now in the later Seasons if he wouldn't have killed him with both of their potty mouth and crude humor would be hilarious. Dan yourself Negan for killing your could have been best friend
So you did hear the one about the stupid little prick named Rick who thought he knew shit but didn’t know shit and got everyone that he gave a shit about killed.
"Look at us. Here we are again. Yknow, last time we did this, you said I talked too much. Bad news is I got some stuff to get off my chest this time as well. But see this time, this time you best hope I never stop talking, because when I do, when i do, something very terrible is gonna happen to you. Y'know, I never killed a man before tonight? The truth. I came close once. See, there was this, this bar my wife and I used to go to. It was our, our favorite bar because it had our favorite jukebox. Favorite jukebox because, well, it had our favorite song. "You are so Beautiful" by the one and only Joe Cocker. Probably the greatest love ballet ever written. I'm sure you agree. See, there was, there was this guy. This guy, he had uh one of those voices you CAN'T unhear. And it was like, uh, my brain had been hijacked, and I can't think anymore. Anyway, he is talkin, and laughin, while the song is playing. Being completely obnoxious. So my beautiful wife Lucille, she gets up, and goes over to where he is, and politely asks him if he could keep it down, so she could hear her song. Well, let's just say he chose, poorly. So now I gotta get up, and I go over and tell him that he owes me 50 cents, so I can play the song again and he can shut the hell up. And my wife, can enjoy her song. Now this is the important part, and I REALLY want you to pay attention to this. Y'know when people get so angry, they say they see red? That shit, is actually true. When this asshole comes at me, all I see is red. It is like I am LOOKING at the world through blood. So I wail on him. I wail on him until he's not movin. And I reach down, I grab his wallet, and take out one dollar. And I play our song again. Twice. Turns out that this prick, has kids that go to the school where I teach gym at. Needless to say, the school is, unthrilled. I get fired, this guy sues me, I don't have a job, so now my WIFE has to pay his medical bills. So u-ih, the POINT of this is, there were consequences to me seeing red. Seeing red was a BAD thing then. I was a BAD man. THEN. See NOW, nobody's suing anybody, nobody's getting fired, hell, nobody's keeping score. See NOW, when I see red, it's just the question of what I am CAPABLE of. And well, man, I hate to break it to ya. See, I am startin to think that I am CAPABLE, of damn near anything. *sigh* So this, this is for NOT killing me."
The point off all this is.There were consequences to me seeing red. Seeing red was a bad thing then. But see, now nobody's suing anybody, nobody's getting fired. Hell, nobody's keeping score. -Negan
What's sort of funny in this whole thing is that Negan was sort of a "good guy" he tried to help people. makes me wonder what would have happened if Negan met Rick and his group without the conflict
Negan had anger and power trip issues, which he allowed to control him when he beat up the guy in the bar. Of course when society collapses he no longer had to deal with the consequences. Of course he respected some people but others like trash. He let his power trip control him, after losing Lucille, he snapped into that dark person. The problem is that Negan morphed into a dictator, became a power/control hungry. Even if Rick didn't kill Negan's people, Negan still would have gained control of Rick's group. It was only when Negan lost his empire he built is when his humanity and moral compass snapped back into place.
A little thing I like here is with the shallow depth of field, coupled with the lighting. When Negan starts his story, its very reminiscent of the lineup scene, very dark background with a singular harsh light source. I love the cinematography in this episode, it seems very different to normal TWD stuff.
A scary thing when the constraints come off and those who society has tried to keep down are free to ruthlessly rule. If I live to see such a time. It will be very yin and yang, every good needs an evil.
Society didn't "keep him down". He made mistakes. His mistakes cost him and his family. His self loathing over beating that man is a huge part of his character. You need to realize that.
@@TheNerdForAllSeasons After his wife died the constraints did come off. He then proceeded to evolve into a monster. His wife Lucille was his last bond to a happy life. Once she died that bond was severed he then succame to the evil inside himself.
lucille was going to die sooner or later, medicine doesnt last forever in an apocalypse and a sick person still has to worry about other diseases and all the other things that kill you
I always find myself re watching this entire episode, like it makes you think how many people out in the worl that wont hit out or do what they are thinking because there are consequences for your actions . Could you imagine how many people would got nuts if the world ended
After seeing this a few times and watching the Biker guy listen to Negan. And I like his body language the whole time Negan. He regrets crossing someone he should have been following.
Negan gets his very own "you know how I got these scars?" bit

This is the epitome of the saying, “The most dangerous creation of any society is the man who has nothing to lose.”

Man what I would give to be able to see what him and Abe would be like right now in the later Seasons if he wouldn't have killed him with both of their potty mouth and crude humor would be hilarious. Dan yourself Negan for killing your could have been best friend
He screwed with him and that caused his wife to die. No Exceptions
@@griffinmiller9012
His wife killed herself that's on her
Idk if they wouldve gotten along. Both were Type A personality, big tough leaders. Thats why he killed him in the first place lmao
@anakinvader9120 in that moment yes, but now after years of being imprisoned, they would totally click eventually
Negan and The Joker: “All it takes is one…bad…day.”
I still feel that line and can level with it. "No one's keeping score". 4:01
Remember when Negan called Rick prick?
So you did hear the one about the stupid little prick named Rick who thought he knew shit but didn’t know shit and got everyone that he gave a shit about killed.
@@jevo4360 🤣
"We're here prick"
"Hey, prick! Youu are out of bullets."
Best character on a show STACKED with great characters
Nahh, he's one more of them great characters lol
Negan needs a show fr
He’s getting one
“Negan and Lucille”; i’d binge that shit
I love Negan, making him a protagonist is what saved the show for me after the shitty seasons 7-8.
They weren't shitty
@Big Delss I agree
Season 8 was definitely mid but ion know about 7 lol
Ignore the clown. Season 7-8 were epic
i disagree seasons 7-8 are definitely my favorite walking dead seasons
this is how you explain a “villains” actions/ backstory , im not a twd fan but negan was incredibly well written
"Look at us. Here we are again. Yknow, last time we did this, you said I talked too much. Bad news is I got some stuff to get off my chest this time as well. But see this time, this time you best hope I never stop talking, because when I do, when i do, something very terrible is gonna happen to you.
Y'know, I never killed a man before tonight? The truth. I came close once. See, there was this, this bar my wife and I used to go to. It was our, our favorite bar because it had our favorite jukebox. Favorite jukebox because, well, it had our favorite song.
"You are so Beautiful" by the one and only Joe Cocker. Probably the greatest love ballet ever written. I'm sure you agree.
See, there was, there was this guy. This guy, he had uh one of those voices you CAN'T unhear. And it was like, uh, my brain had been hijacked, and I can't think anymore. Anyway, he is talkin, and laughin, while the song is playing. Being completely obnoxious. So my beautiful wife Lucille, she gets up, and goes over to where he is, and politely asks him if he could keep it down, so she could hear her song. Well, let's just say he chose, poorly.
So now I gotta get up, and I go over and tell him that he owes me 50 cents, so I can play the song again and he can shut the hell up. And my wife, can enjoy her song.
Now this is the important part, and I REALLY want you to pay attention to this. Y'know when people get so angry, they say they see red? That shit, is actually true. When this asshole comes at me, all I see is red. It is like I am LOOKING at the world through blood. So I wail on him. I wail on him until he's not movin. And I reach down, I grab his wallet, and take out one dollar. And I play our song again. Twice.
Turns out that this prick, has kids that go to the school where I teach gym at. Needless to say, the school is, unthrilled. I get fired, this guy sues me, I don't have a job, so now my WIFE has to pay his medical bills.
So u-ih, the POINT of this is, there were consequences to me seeing red. Seeing red was a BAD thing then. I was a BAD man. THEN.
See NOW, nobody's suing anybody, nobody's getting fired, hell, nobody's keeping score. See NOW, when I see red, it's just the question of what I am CAPABLE of. And well, man, I hate to break it to ya. See, I am startin to think that I am CAPABLE, of damn near anything. *sigh* So this, this is for NOT killing me."
🥲 Beautiful
The point off all this is.There were consequences to me seeing red. Seeing red was a bad thing then. But see, now nobody's suing anybody, nobody's getting fired. Hell, nobody's keeping score. -Negan
No one talks about how the biker never flintched or begged. He knew it was over and he just took it. Credit where it's due
This Bikers ramind me The Claimers, maybe The claimers was a part of this group
No their kut was different. Was a different MC
Greatest Walking Dead character ever
Honestly one of the best villains in TV history as far as I'm concerned.
God dang this episode was beautiful
This will be one of my top favorite moments in The Walking Dead .
The season 10 finale was great. One of the best in the show, easily. So emotional and eye-opening.
His interaction with the doctor was the last shred of Good Negan
It was this scene that made Negan one of my top favorite characters of all time lol XD
This is one of the most heart full cold blooded moments ever
"You best i hope never stop talking, when i do something terrible is gonna happen to you" is some shit you dont wanna hear while you're tired up 😂
Negan: I’m not a monster I’m just ahead of the curb
0:27 would be crazy if that was Bob
Dude the background noise when Negan talks walks back and forth holding Lucille it’s so chilling you know shit is about to go down
Probably my favorite scene of the last 3 seasons of the show
This is the moment when negan became Heisenberg
The soundtrack in this scene is the same soundtrack that was in the first episode of seventh season.
just brilliant.
brilliant acting...
brilliant writing...
brilliant negan!
I love how they used the same background music as the season 7 episode 1 scene.
What's sort of funny in this whole thing is that Negan was sort of a "good guy" he tried to help people.
makes me wonder what would have happened if Negan met Rick and his group without the conflict
Rick kill him, remember what rick did michone , rick has a big trust issue
@@tugrulbeytugrul yup
Remember what he did to the guys that helped him and Morgan in the bar
There would always be conflict. Negan's way is subjugating people. He's just a mob boss. Wrong way to be. Apocalypse or not.
Rick would never accept someone else being the top dog, and neither would Negan. There would eventually be a power struggle.
Negan had anger and power trip issues, which he allowed to control him when he beat up the guy in the bar. Of course when society collapses he no longer had to deal with the consequences. Of course he respected some people but others like trash. He let his power trip control him, after losing Lucille, he snapped into that dark person. The problem is that Negan morphed into a dictator, became a power/control hungry.
Even if Rick didn't kill Negan's people, Negan still would have gained control of Rick's group. It was only when Negan lost his empire he built is when his humanity and moral compass snapped back into place.
3:02 All I see is red!!!
This is awesome one best episodes in the whole series. Look how much he gets into it as the scene grows.
He looks so good here, ngll I loved his slicked hair and black beard and hair.
We lost rick and get negan I aint complaining negans actor is insane
Like looking at the world through blood. Great analogy.
I’m so glad he didn’t die in the show probably the best villain in the show
I wanted to cry when Negan came back to Lucille ; that had already turned, and had tied herself up beforehand just for his safety 😢
The way he drops his voice to a whisper: "something very terrible is going to happen" chills
A little thing I like here is with the shallow depth of field, coupled with the lighting. When Negan starts his story, its very reminiscent of the lineup scene, very dark background with a singular harsh light source. I love the cinematography in this episode, it seems very different to normal TWD stuff.
A scary thing when the constraints come off and those who society has tried to keep down are free to ruthlessly rule. If I live to see such a time. It will be very yin and yang, every good needs an evil.
Society didn't "keep him down". He made mistakes. His mistakes cost him and his family. His self loathing over beating that man is a huge part of his character. You need to realize that.
@@TheNerdForAllSeasons After his wife died the constraints did come off. He then proceeded to evolve into a monster. His wife Lucille was his last bond to a happy life. Once she died that bond was severed he then succame to the evil inside himself.
I fucking love negan
If Lucile had survived would negan still do bad things
Nope but he will sacrifice himself to save her from zombies and bad people
lucille was going to die sooner or later, medicine doesnt last forever in an apocalypse and a sick person still has to worry about other diseases and all the other things that kill you
I always find myself re watching this entire episode, like it makes you think how many people out in the worl that wont hit out or do what they are thinking because there are consequences for your actions . Could you imagine how many people would got nuts if the world ended
Why nobody cant remind Maggie it was her group that drew first blood killing negans people they killed 30 and more before that. Negan only killed two.
Do you remember the bikers who stopped Daryl, Abe, and Sasha on the road? They were Negan’s people. They started it
i love how they played his theme from the lineup
After seeing this a few times and watching the Biker guy listen to Negan. And I like his body language the whole time Negan. He regrets crossing someone he should have been following.
The fact that we can hear negan OST from ss7 ep1 in this scene is crazy.
Best episode as of recently, Negan needs his own Godamn show
He talk too much, Beta hates that :D .
Can’t believe this ep aired 3 years ago
This was filmed so dope!!! Started alone with the line up on your knees and boom fast forward super crew line up on your knees
I want to see an alternate timeline where Negan meets The Governor.
Negan's back story was the best episode hands down
That moment when negan broke the glase was when he changed forever
3:10 I can vouch for that. True rage will make it look like you’re seeing through red-tinted glass
At the end of the video, the lights and Lucille on the POV, looks so much with the killing of the 2 we all know.
Good job guys.
I would love Negan to be my gym coach
“Twice” love the way he said that playing his wife song lmao JDM perfect Negan man
When he said "nobody is keeping score" the dude knew exactly what was coming.
You better hope I don’t stop talking cuz when I do…when I do something really terrible is gonna happen to you. That’s a cold line
Credit to the bikie leader, he didnt beg or show fear he accepted his fate and took it. Very similar to Abe
Was this Negan before he met Rick? Kind of like his origin?
Exactly why I can't wait for the shit to hit the fan!
it just occurred to me that some of the facial expressions and mannerisms JDM shows in this scene is like a 2x sinister Nicolas Cage, love it 🤣🤣
Didnt have a single clue who they was fucking with
God I’d love a show or something about Negans rise to power
4:21-4:26 You don’t have to think Negan. You are
Best....story....ever....
