Celebrating Steven Yeun's Birthday With 5 Great Glenn Moments On The Walking Dead
December 21 marks the 33rd birthday of The Walking Dead's Steven Yeun.It's been a busy couple of [...]
Episode 1x01
While never actually being seen in the series premiere of The Walking Dead, Yeun's presence had a major effect on the opening hour.
When Rick Grimes found himself seemingly hopeless and trapped in a tank surrounded by the undead, a flicker of hope emerged from the radio as Glenn called out to offer a helping hand.
"Hey dumbass!" Glenn said. "Yeah, you in the tank!"
We were left wondering what would happen next for Rick as the episode ended on a massive zoom out over the zombie-ridden streets of Atlanta and instantly hooked in for the next episode (and entire series).
prevnextFinding Maggie
Season 5 saw Glenn on a mission. He was completely determined to find his wife Maggie whom he had been separated from when the prison fell in battle against the Governor.
Despite his new friends Abraham, Eugene, and Rosita demanding they stay on course for Washington D.C. in an effort to deliver the cure, Glenn was willing to risk it all in an effort to find his lady.
After getting trapped in a tunnel, Glenn found a way to fight his way out of the zombie infested claustrophic area and ultimately reunite with Maggie. It was a great moment.
prevnextThe Challenger
Going back to Season 1, another fan-favorite moment involving Glenn was seeing the character unleash the power of a Challenger to have a little bit of fun in the apocalypse.
While The Walking Dead maintained the horrifying terror of zombies, Glenn managed to hijack a car and drive it back to his group's camp outside of Atlanta with the alarm blaring. The former pizza boy knew a thing or two about driving in a hurry, so he had a sufficient amount of fun with no police radars to worry about as he ripped it full speed down the vacant highways.
prevnextCovered in Guts
Noticing a theme here? Several of Glenn's best moments came from the show's first season.
Not only was the moments which saw Glenn and Rick covered in zombie guts one of the pizza boy's best moments but it was one of the most unforgettable about the entire series.
Rick and Glenn chopped up the bodies of former Atlanta residents, checking their ID's to pay respects, and covered themselves in their intestines in an effort to blend in with the undead. The idea worked until rain began washing the blood and guts off of the two survivors in the midst of their escape.
prevnextBerserker Mode
Of all the Glenn moments from The Walking Dead, none can top when he unleashed his inner berserker mode to save his own life and hopefully save Maggie's.
Shortly after Merle captured Maggie and Glenn, the Governor wanted answers. The couple was reluctant to give them, however. Merle stepped up his torture game by uneashing a walker in Glenn's holding room while he was defenselessly strapped to a chair. Glenn ultimately freed himself and used parts of the chair to take the zombie out.
It was an epic moment which showed us what Glenn was capable of. Of course, we know while he can dodge a zombie, he can't dodge a baseball bat.
