There are plenty of people who aren't very happy about the cliffhanger ending to Sunday's The Walking Dead season finale.
Somebody has even gone to the trouble of putting together a recommended ending for the episode and, the Internet being the Internet and The Walking Dead having around 20 million viewers, the video has gone viral.
You can check it out below. Major spoilers for the comic and, let's face it, probably the TV show.
It's more or less the same footage, but with a bit more of a definitive "ending" inspired by the comic.
In the comics, of course, it was Glenn Rhee who died at Negan's hands during the character's first full appearance in The Walking Dead #100. For years now, fans have speculated about whether Rhee -- played by Steven Yeun, who wrote a nasty letter to the comic book series after his character's death on the page -- would exit the series when Negan came or whether another fan-favorite character might take his place.
"I think that, but then I also think, how great and iconic is that moment?" said Yeun when we posed that possibility to him back in 2014. "Sometimes you just have to deliver it the way it was intended. We'll see what happens but I feel like the way that Kirkman wrote that end for him was magical in a way. You don't get to have a long speech or you don't get to have a whole diatribe about where you're at as a character at that point in time and then be killed, it's just you're done. And I think that's so ruthless and brutal and so apropos for the show."
The Walking Dead will return for its seventh season in October. Expect a trailer to generate a lot of speculation out of Comic Con International: San Diego in July.
