An interview with Steven Yeun confirms that The Walking Dead made a mistake with how it approached Glenn Rhee's character in the series.
An interview with Steven Yeun has confirmed the massive mistake The Walking Dead made with its depiction of Glenn Rhee. Played by Yeun, Glenn was one of Rick’s closest allies during the show’s first six seasons. His story came to a tragic end in the season 7 premiere when he was gruesomely murdered by Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan.
Like his counterpart in The Walking Dead comics, Glenn was an integral part of the show and every major conflict Rick’s group became involved in between season 1 and season 6. His importance to the series and its overarching story made what happened in the season 7 premiere one of the show’s most memorable moments. Even by the end of the show’s 11-season run, Glenn is still one of the biggest characters killed off by the series.
Essentially, this role is what defined Glenn’s story in The Walking Dead. While it admittedly made him into one of the show’s most likable characters, it was also a roadblock. Not held to the same standards, Carol and Rick, for example, developed into some of the show’s most nuanced characters, but they never would have reached that point if the show didn’t take risks with their stories.
The Walking Dead Wasting Glenn Made His Death Worse The Walking Dead’s unfortunate handling of Glenn’s character added to the issues attached to his death in the season 7 premiere. By effectively making Rick’s group slaves to Negan and the Saviors, The Walking Dead opened the door for all sorts of internal struggles for Rick and his allies to endure.
