In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Steven Yeun also touched on this separation. He explained, "We don't necessarily do what's in the comics . . . there's a clear divide in the way we tell a story on television, and the way that story is told in the comics, because it has to be." He hinted further, "There is something to be said about something being predictable. I'm sure there are iconic moments, but at the same time, we want to keep this show as fresh and alive as possible."
What's more, Yeun says in the interview that he's excited about Negan's arrival: "For me, for Negan to come into the show is, to say nothing less, f*cking awesome." Call us crazy, but we have a feeling this whole thing wouldn't be so awesome if Glenn's the one who dies.
