The Walking Dead Creator Addresses Season 6 Finale Backlash

 

Though the uproar has died down a bit since, a lot of fans were very upset with the season 6 finale of The Walking Dead. The episode ended with a group of our main characters lined up, with one of  them clearly destined to meet a grisly end at the hands of Negan and his weapon of choice, Lucille.

Many have weighed in on this since, but there is a statement from the creator of The Walking Dead comic series, Robert Kirkman. Here’s what he had to say on the matter: “The speculation, the frustration, the possibilities, the theories… honestly, in my mind… that stuff is FUN. I honestly feel like that’s something fun for the fans to do during the break. Last season’s finale will lead right into the new season, with a twist that fans probably won’t see coming. We weren’t trying to drive you crazy, and we certainly weren’t trying to FORCE you to come back for season 7. We hope you were always planning on doing that and still plan on doing that”.
