The Walking Dead Remixed Death is the Start of Dangerous Season

Even after so many months of waiting, there's still that sting whenever fans remember that last cliffhanger scene for The Walking Dead. A lot felt cheated out of the death, and some even felt that this was a ploy to ensure that the seventh season will open to many views.

While there have been several ways that the show's cast and crew have sidestepped the grilling on what will happen, The Walking Dead comic book creator Robert Kirkman spoke with The Hollywood Reporter and reassured fans that the wait is definitely worth it.

"We're very confident. We've done six seasons of the show and think our seventh will be the best one yet… The modern audience isn't too happy with cliffhangers. But we're still very confident that this is going to be a great season and we know the payoff is going to be worth the wait and that the premiere is going to be really great."

The secrecy, Kirkman explains, is due in part to the creators' desire to give even non-comicbook fans the same experience as when they had read the original version. This is when Kirkman touches on the kind of pressure that they had to remix—the term that defines changing the deaths and events in the comics—what happened in the original material.

"We are changing things here and there as we always have done. To a certain extent, we're staying the course. The way that we do the show and the way we adapt the comic hasn't really changed but the material in the comic has changed substantially… The challenge has been expanding the scale of the show up and being true to the source material and opening up this world in a way that I strongly feel will set the stage for many seasons to come."

From that statement, there are already so many things that can already launched speculations. The fact that they did confirm that a remix has happened for the awaited death scene already makes us wonder—who can be treated as Glenn's equivalent in the comic, so that his death will mean essentially the same as it did in the comics?

We've already seen characters who have died onscreen but are still alive in the comics. And there are also cases, such as in Denise dying in the same way that Abraham did in the comics. So, are we going to see the former or the latter in Glenn's case?

But what Kirkman reassures us is that The Walking Dead season is a "very dangerous season." If there is any concrete justification for the cliffhanger scene, Kirkman says that it's what really sets the tone for Negan and his story, which will obviously run for the entirety of the season.

The Walking Dead will be back on AMC on Oct. 23.
