Same. It was pointlessly cruel and I realized I hated the writing for just being sadistic. It knocked me out of the show completely.

It was following the comics. It would have been a significant change to not do it, and comparable to GOT not doing the Red Wedding

It’s weird to see how many people say they dropped the show because he died when it’s one of the most iconic comic moments and sets the perfect introduction for Negan. I couldn’t get into the show past season 3 but I’ve never seen such a backlash by fans against a show for actually following the source material especially when that was one of the few later season things they didn’t change
