The Walking Dead When it appeared, it killed a lot of people. Some deaths were deserved, some felt unfair, and some were mildly funny, but not many left an impression on audiences quite like the death of Steven Yeun’s Glenn. Just like in the comics, Glenn was beaten to death by Negan’s spiked baseball bat, which was such a big deal at the time that an Arkansas newspaper actually ran an obituary for him a few days later.
Some people quit the show once he was eliminated, and even former leading man Andrew Lincoln admitted the show may have crossed a line with Glenn. In an interview with Empire magazine, he discussed his experience on the show, which he said was a time when the show “over-fried the eggs.” [That death] Maybe it took too long. He added that the actual filming of the deaths was also quite intense, especially for Negan actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Lincoln recalled that Morgan delivered a monologue in front of everyone and became ” [show’s] Most unpleasant character. As the rest of the cast fell to their knees crying, Morgan asked him if that was normal, to which Lincoln’s Rick Grimes confirmed, “Yeah, everybody just move on.”
Glenn’s death caused a lot of outrage at the time, and the fact that he’d faked his own death just a few episodes earlier didn’t help matters. You know the rest of the story: Lincoln left the show after a few seasons (both he and Yeon returned for the show’s finale, either through archival material or newly filmed footage), and eventually returned in the recent miniseries living people. Meanwhile, Yun continues to work on projects such as No, beef, and invincible, and for a time became a sentinel in the region thunderbolt The movie before exiting. However, it hasn’t been that long since the original work The Walking Dead The show is over, so it’s unlikely anyone will forget Glenn’s ending anytime soon.
