Me too…it was just too heart breaking. I watched a few more episodes under pressure from my wife. But seeing Glenn die while being a prospective father and having my own kid just…broke me for a while.

Same. Not really because of that one act but I was already losing interest up to that point.

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

The Whisperers arc was absolutely brutal. The spikes on the hill broke me for a while.

yeah that's pretty much when I stopped, as well, I think I may have caught a few random episodes on TV after that point but the show was just garbage after glen died imo
