I do not read the comics but I do know it's meant to be Glenn that gets Luciled.
For those of you who are reading this and don't know what I'm going on about...
The Walking Dead has ended on the biggest cliffhanger! I mean I was all prepared, I was (sort of) ready to say farewell to one of them... But no we now have to wait.
Here's the full version of when we meet Negan to the point he kills: http://youtu.be/0Wp61qiwUTg
Honestly the amount of YouTube videos I have watched to try and figure out who got Luciled is honestly ridiculous. I was only going to watch one and then it turned into 2, then 3, then 4 and now I've watched about 20. Each one say a different person!! So now I'm just confused. So very confused.
However I'm going to say my view on everything because I need to get it all out because when I talk to my parents about it they don't give a shit.
Here's a list from left to right where everyone is sitting;
-Glenn
-Rosita
-Daryl
-Michonne
-Abraham
-Maggie
-Rick
-Sasha
-Aaron
-Carl
-Eugene
First of all I don't think it's going to be Rosita because she not a big enough character and some one said on one of the videos that it looks like they are keeping Negans personality the same as the comics and so he respects women. Which is sorta nice... Considering he's a bad guy.
It's not going to be Maggie. She looks like she's going to die anyway. Plus he wouldn't be a good villian if he tries to prove a point by killing a sick woman.
We can rule out Rick and Carl. Negan said "if anybody moves, if anybody says anything, cut the boys other eye out and feed it to his father" he looks to the left as he referred to Carl, maybe signalling that Carl is near his left but then he also looks to his right when he refers to Rick. This may mean that the person who is killed is in the middle of Rick and Carl or I could be done on purpose. Why would he stop beating the shit out of Carl's head to take his eye out and feed it to Rick. The sight of Carl getting his head bashed in would be bad enough. But I definitely think Rick and Carl are safe. Also I'm going to make a point that I'll keep referring to it that the person who does get Luciled has nothing effecting their vision. And clearly Carl has a fairly big thang (sorry had to) in the way... I mean he only has one eye, plus hair in his face and a hat on. Also Rick has hair in front of his face.
Now let's talk about who has something that effects there vision. Let's look at who has hair in their face:
Glenn, Maggie, Michonne, Carl, Rick and Daryl all have hair in front of their eyes.
On the POV shots nothing was in the way of their eyes.
I've already talked about Rick and Carl, there is no way it's them, plus there is Negans and Carl's relationship to develop. (I saw it in a headline)
Many people are saying it's going to be Michonne as Rick needs to be emotionally harmed. Plus the POV from when Rosita, Michonne, Glenn and Daryl are in the van it looks like it could be Michonne POV as we see Daryl's head pop up and the only person behind him is Michonne. I don't think it's going to be Michonne (more praying). Plus do you really think Negan will say "taking it like a champ" to a woman?
This brings me onto Daryl. Do you really think he's going to be "taking it like a champ"? I don't think so. He may be a bad ass but not when you've been:
Shot in the shoulder,
Lost a lot of blood
And dehydrated.
Plus he looks like he's going to collapse at any second as well as Maggie. Rosita is also in a similar position, she looks very dehydrated plus the same thing applies, I don't think Negan would call Rosita a champ.
There is a possibility that Glenn could take it "like a champ" but I highly doubt it. He is also dehydrated. He has a lot of adrenaline running through his body after seeing Maggie after so long, but seeing her in pain and not knowing what's going on. Plus after Negan threaten to kill her (but we know he won't). I think it will be unlikely that he would take it like a champ. I could be wrong. I also think it would be too obvious to kill Glenn, as the comic book fans will be expecting it.
Robert Kirkman said he never liked to write the same thing again. Which we know as he's changed things a lot, most recently Denise taking the fall for Abraham. Perhaps Kirkman wanted to keep Abraham for the upcoming war, as he has military experience.
I've already said that I don't think it's Rosita as she's not only a minor character but also Negan respects woman and he's not proving anything by killing women, which also links to Michonne and Sasha.
Negan's speech at the end right before he he kills he says "you can breath" he looks to the right "you can blink" looks to his left, this could be aimed at Carl, as he's only got one eye and he previously said something to Carl to make fun, "you can cry" looks to the left again, maybe to Sasha as in close ups she definitely looks as though she is crying or is about to.
Eugene could be a possibility as he has already handed over plans to help make bullets and stuff. Also he's already said goodbye to them. However he has a black eye. But I still think he could be a possibility as he has become a "survivor" and he has tried to stay strong.
One thing that has altered my thought out him being the one who gets Luciled is that he will not be taking a bash to the head like a champ. Can you remember when Abraham hit him and he was out cold for hours? (That was pretty funny, when he just fell to the floor). I just think it's highly unlikely that he'll take a hit to the head with a bat wrapped in barbed wire like a champ.
On to Aaron. Greg Nicotero posted a photo of a wax figure of Daryl, then took it down. In the background of this picture was an in progress sculpture of what looked like Aaron. What does this mean? Maybe he's the one killed by Negan... Or he's just a little later on and they are planning ahead.
Aaron is brave, I'll give him that. He would be missed but his boyfriend and perhaps Maggie. But. He has not had enough character development to have a huge (like if Glenn dies) impact on the audience like yes he's a cool character but he's a minor one. It's took big of a cliffhanger to just have Aaron killed.
Now Abraham. I absolutely love Abraham! But in my opinion I think it's him. He's the only one I can imagine to "take it like a champ", also I could imagine him saying something to Negan to provoke him. Plus Abraham is the biggest threat to Negan at this point. Look at the size of him!
This now brings me onto the slowed down audio.
Here it is: http://youtu.be/LsjNz9FBsXY
You need to listen/ watch it to understand, if you haven't already.
It is suggested that Glenn says "mag-". This does sound like him, does not mean he is killed. It could be Abraham as he's a big guy and if he falls on Maggie while she's that weak. Not good. Glenn is going to be concerned about his wife...obviously.
Next is:
Maggie - "GLENN!"
Abraham - "GLENN!"
Carl (possibly) - "no!"
This does not mean it's Glenn. Remember Negan said not to move. Abraham could be the one he hit, to me it's the highest possibility. Abraham could of said/ shouted this as he may have tried to move to get to Maggie, while Abraham's getting his head smacked it to make sure no one else gets hurt. Does Abraham really seem to be the type of guy to scream out if someone's getting killed?
This also may be the reason for Carl's "no".
Some people have said that the audio isn't real. They somehow match the way Maggie screamed Glenn's name to the same scream from when he tried to save her when the walkers got into Alexandria.
One of the writers/ producers have said that the person didn't even know it was going to be, so how can they be screaming the name of who died if, when they were filming it, the person didn't know themselves. Maybe Glenn did try and move. Maybe that's why they are saying his name.
On a YouTube video someone said it would be too much to make this audio real as they would have to bring in each actor to scream and say what they said in the clip as the actors weren't there when the scene was shot. Another reason why the audio might not be real?
Trying to work out the "eni mene minee moo" (don't know how you spell it) part is a dead end. He starts with Rick then gets round to Daryl and then goes all over the place. Also trying to count how many each person had a bat in their face that we saw without the POV shot is just too confusing.
I also forgot to mention Negan's shadow crossing over Rick's face before he chooses his victim. This may suggest the person is too Rick's left, or could mean they are trying to confuse us once again. Another is that there are trees behind Negan, I don't know what this would mean because they could all see the RV in front of them. Glenn would also have a car in front of him. Maybe the director did this on purpose so we wouldn't know who it is? This is most likely. Everything doesn't seem to be going well for Glenn in the scene which makes me feel like it won't be him. But he'll probably just crawl under the RV.
To conclude, I think without all the evidence I've said I would say Glenn. With the evidence I'm going to say Abraham or Aaron (I'll be slightly annoyed if it was him though), still possibly Glenn though.
Thanks for reading! See you soon
