Subscribe: goo.gl/Q2kKrD
Fan of AMC's The Walking Dead TV series we're impressed and terrified with the addition of Jeffrey Dean Morgan's villain Negan was one of the most talked about moments in the entire series. Especially considering he murdered one of the main cast members and left audiences wondering who Negan killed. There have been a lot of great and memorable villains over the years, but none quite as colorful or menacing as this former high school football coach. Join WatchMojo as we explore the comic book origins of Negan.

they chose the absolute perfect actor for negan tho, like come on
nah.
no you're right... it should've been kevin james...
Nimz nahhh Kevin hart 😂😂😂
Jeffrey Dean Morgan a.k.a. The Comedian
I would prefer Henry Rollins. Either that or JDM needs some riser boots and some intense gym time
I can see him as a baseball coach.
Lol Yeah.
Zachary Plummer close but no cigar ping pong coach
You'd think baseball with him having Lucille, but it says in the description box that Negan was a "former high school football coach".
Tamara Sauls he was a ping pong coach not football
Zachary Plummer Ping pong actually
that's awesome how negan was in a hospital just like rick when the outbreak began
Aw man, that'd be amazing!
RKshamrock WHOSE MARTHA!!!?-BVS 😩😂
Well Rick was in a hospital in Georgia I assume Negan didn't live in Georgia and also happen to travel to Virginia
Josh726Gaming Rick was not in a hospital in Georgia. He was in a hospital in Kentucky, then he met Morgan, went to the police station, and left to go to Atlanta Georgia.
Ohh I didn't know that, I assumed the first few seasons took place in only Georgia since it isn't a long travel to his home town and since daryl says he never left the state
Negan has been in only one episode and he makes the governor look like Sesame Street Character
I can’t 😭 a Sesame Street character 🤣
Not really
Until you met comics governor makes negan Disney villain
@@No-ik5nj yes
What is exactly « Seesame Street » ??
Negan is the best character in the Walking Dead comics right now.
K Kurtz no
Yep.
he fucking save Dwight so he definitely the best.
Damn must be Opposite Day cus you is WRONG AS FUCK
I agree but I do miss the governor, he was so cool.
If you hate Negan after one episode...he done a good job.
Or even feel personally brutalized.
He killed ,y favorite character, but his 1st impression made me like him a lot.
i dont hate him because of what he did i hate him because in my opinion it's not the best casting choice the could have made
i actually like him
Marten Väär Same
Negan the type of guy you hate but love at the same time.
gus fring is better
Literally no Walking Dead fan who reads the comics hates him.
@@ZNearX tell me about it.
Hey, what about the part about how his name used to be John Winchester and how he had two sons?
Rhianna Ruxton that's a different show lol
Rhianna Ruxton omg I love your profile pic and same
I'm sure Sam and Dean are cheering for him somewhere in the sidelines... Plot twist: Mary is the mistress. Dun dunn dunnnn!
he raised again possessed by demon and the apocalpse happened
James Orbe Or ooh, it could be the 'future' Dean visited where Sam was possessed by Lucifer. o:
Out of all the enemies from The Walking Dead, Negan was badass enough to get his own Comic Book Origins story.
Edit: For those that don't understand my comment, I meant Negan's origin story here on WatchMojo.
Charlene Alyssa Ingram wrong
anuar0307 Why is it wrong ?
Charlene Alyssa Ingram cause he's not the first one to get a comic book origin or the first badass to.
The Governor has 2 books Rise of the Governor and Fall of the Governor, and they're pretty damn good, though Fall is basically what happens in the comics obviously.
I thought he meant to get one by watchmojo but the governor books are amazing even though Negan is my favorite villain
Jeffery Dean Morgan IS STILL the best choice for Negan.
Hopefully we'll see him as the Flashpoint Batman in the future (since he is the new Thomas Wayne and all)
25taylor91 I was kinda hoping for Bruce Campbell, but he's already busy with Ash Vs
25taylor91 Jon Hamm would still been better, but I ain't complaining with Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Harry Jang Nah. Jon Hamm is great, but not for Negan
I think Patrick Warburton would have made a great Negan.
I doubt the show will do this but hopefully we get negans backstory
Actually, I think Jeffrey Dean Morgan said they're looking into using it on the show. Hopefully there'll be maybe a flashback episode or the opening of an episode will show him and his wife
Alejandro Salvidres they kinda did it with governer so why not negan
I agree. All it would take is one or two episodes.
+Chicken 14 yea they might but the biggest let down was how the show didnt give the wolves a back story because when the wolf member said that they didnt choose their path, I was so curious to know who chose their way of life. But they all died and were probably never getting their backstory
Alejandro Salvidres ik what you mean but they was just a random group like the cannibals Negan is a major villain like the Governor was I'm pretty sure they will put some time into him
and people are like:
....Wait... The Walking Dead Is a Comic??
but Wheres Daryl??????
-.-
Jear Pineda Daryl wasn't apart of the comics, he was only made in the show because they gave Norman Reedus that role, since the role of Meryl already taken
Jear Pineda How are they supposed to know idiot.
flamewingman1231
dude i know that, i was being sarcastic about the fact that daryl its pretty much A Fanservice xD,
but the serie has been kinda meh to me..
Jear Pineda just about everything starts off from a book, comic or something
lol
Shane would love Negan and his way of ruling.
what joke?
people keep saying shane would beat negan but rick destroyed shane even when he was still a pussy
TV Shane? Maybe. Comic book, Shane? Nah!
@Berzerk Llama bullshit
I don't think Negan is really a villain. Yeah, he's arrogant and ruthless, but he still lives by a moral code. No rape, No in-fighting and no NO racism or sexism. They are strong and they are all equal
Elseworld Media wtf is wrong with u?
Well he is kinda right, no one in the walking dead are really heroes or villian. Sure he is portraied like a villian, but Rick and his group have killed countless of people screwing with them just to survive. Negan does the same thing, sure he is abit more brutal. But to be honest Rick and his group got away pretty easy concidering how many of Negans people he killed. But of course we will view them as villians thats how it suppouse to be. So he is both right and wrong.
negan is the man
TBF fair to Negan in this zombie situation he can be the savior for many people
But for large groups they will have to suffer when encountering Negan
+NeedMoreCoffee But Negan does have alot of black guys in his army.If he was a true racist he wouldnt have any minorities even if that would mean better survival
I thought Glen and Lucille really connected this season😉
Yeah, there was a connection. Almost too much of a connection. Glen really let Lucille get into his head.
Tre' Roney these jokes are gold!!!
Glen kept one eye on Maggie, til the bitter end.
I ship it
Tre' Roney " nice👍👍👍🤓🤓🤓🤓!!!"
Negan: Hi I'm Vegan
Rick: Nice to meat you
tomorrow is going to be the biggest episode ever of the whole series!!!!!! goodbye glenn :'(
alexandre martin let's hope it's changed for the show
.
alexandre martin not really heart breaking
Bye bye bullet manufacturing then.
It won't be Glenn. Have you seen how they exchange deaths between the comics and the show? Glenn will be fine, it's Michonne and Daryl I fear for.
I was wondering why Negan sounded like a football, and basketball coach when speaking to Ricks group. Excellent video.
ya, almost drill sergeant like too
if not a coach, I woulda thought the military
wackywriter15 yeah but "taking one for the team, taking it like a champ, and are you a southpaw are probably more indicative of sports than military lol
Negan quickly became my favorite character. READ THE COMICS! This show does no justice to the awesomeness of the Walking Dead.
CrazySpaceBurrito I've seen both and although I would say saying " the show does no just to the comic" is a bit of a stretch.
Justice*
I agree, I think he's awesome in the show, JDM really nailed the character in my opinion
CrazySpaceBurrito 100% agree.
CrazySpaceBurrito shows better
Negan is the best thing to happen since The Governor. I've always been more interested in the villains.
Because the villains are more entertaining than the good guys, the good guys are boring
Its also that Protagonists are only as good as their antagonists. The greater the villain, the more the protagonist needs to change in order to overcome that Villain. Change = Good story telling.
For example In Skyfall: You had an great villain that: Blew up MI6, Killed M, was ahead of James at every turn. He creates total chaos to James 'normal' world. James had to change, revisit his past. Find what defines him... In order to finally succeed.
Now take Specter. Did absolutly nothing of substance to affect James. Generic vilain 101. By the end of the movie, James has undergone zero progression... because the Villain never forced him the change.
Yes, Villain are usually more fascinating... However... They also are the main ingredient to make a hero interesting.
Yup and hopefully he isn't going anywhere cause he has some great story arcs even after the Saviors fall
#EyesOut4Glenn
#SuckMynutsForSureAbraham
bruh.. too soon
Shane Walsh #nutsoutforabraham
#ThankYouForNicholas xD
negan is the fucking shit
Vito DiGiovanni u mad
Vito DiGiovanni
Einnie
Minnie
Miney
Mo
Vito has to go
Orazio Coclite no he's not going to kill two he said that he will kill one of them and I think based on the blood on Rick's face it will be Abraham. 😭 I really love Abraham but if he does get killed by Negan I will lose my anger because I do love Abraham.
Jonathan Ryle
SPOILER for TWD TV Show:
Negan is gonna pick Abraham and bash his head in. Daryl wants to step in and as a punishment Glenn gets killed. So 2 people are gonna die...
LtSparklez85 no
People hate Negan for killing their beloved characters but what of his point of vieuw? Like he said: you killed a whole lot of my men.. and he just killed 1 (in the comic) 2 in the series because Daryl punched him while he gave a warning not to do such things...
Sad Lucille is currently dead in the walking dead comics ,Beta caused her death.
RIP Lucille
Beta's back killed Lucille
Fabian Ramirez I did
I love Negan's character. But I almost cried for Glenn and Rick 😞😢😷💧
FoshizzLe MahnizzLe Abraham right?
FoshizzLe MahnizzLe bbbbbnh trfrgbz
FoshizzLe MahnizzLe you posser...
just one more day this has felt like the longest 6 months ever while I am over anxious to see the lucile victim I'm more excited to see JDM portray negan he did so damn good at it
DARYL LIVES
Britishblackguy UK oh yeah they wouldn't dare killing daryl off in that way they would lose all of their fans although I will miss the two they kill off though kind of wish it was Carl though lol
Not Carl noooo
Christopher Kwiatkowski Abraham and Glenn die
Joseph Donnelly yeah it's a shame I thought Abe would have been sick for all out war
It's Daryl fault that Glenn died
yep fucking Daryl it would have just been Abraham
margarita mata no way guys, neegan had every intention of killing two from the start. What Daryl did was save himself. He showed neegan that he was a stone cold mother fucker even in the face of death, that's why neegan took him. Daryl will inevitably blame himself for Glen as he often does with hardships in the group because deep down he is the heart of the group.
Weeeeelll by the way he was talking he wouldn't have killed another person until Daryl attacked and so he killed the closest person near him which was conveniently Glenn as retaliation cause he said something along the lines of" I don't know what liars y'all have been around but I'm a man of my word' then Wham! Glenn's brains go everywhere and I Don't doubt Daryl's awesome badassness but he was the reason for the death in my OPINION just my thoughts on the matter
Actually right enough I should have listened more closely to neegan there, you're probably right
Matt Burns Neegan did say " I WILL SHUT THAT SH*T DOWN!"
who ready to twd tomorrow
Mark Suckmybird you think
Mark Suckmybird I think Glenn maybe because the comic book
Mark Suckmybird true
They brought all the main characters and one red shirt far less developed then the rest of them who was barely in the season after the first few episodes. My money is on the red shirt.
Aaron? Yeah, it's not him.
It all goes down tomorrow. Several months of waiting and we'll see who Negan killed at last.
JSpiker178 I can't wait
Aidan Last :)
Glen dies rip
If the governor was still alive then I want a face off between Negan and The Governor
this is one of those moments I wish Shane was still around.
TheMylittletony Rick kicked Shane's ass with no problem
Meme Lord
yeah, but I bet he wouldn't stand for this. Not that fighting back would be the best approach, but interesting in a social experiment kind of way. Maybe he would just join them, like merle joined the governor.
Since The Governor, at least in the comics was a bit rapey, though that scene in the show with Maggie was ehhh, (something Negan won't tolerate.) On top of that The Governor while more of a total psychopath, didn't have near as many resources as Negan, or was as organized as The Saviors... Yeah I think Negan would, "shut that shit down, no exceptions" with even The Governor.
Even after watching him kill two of my favorite characters on "The Walking Dead", I still love Negan/Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Here's a couple of facts that some people might not have noticed:
In the "Watchmen" movie (a film based off of a comic), Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays The Comedian, who tries to rape the first Silk Spetre played by the wonderful Carla Gugino. She had earlier played in Frank Miller's "Sin City" movie (another film based off a comic book) & in that film, the character she portrayed is named Lucille.
Also, he played John Winchester in the long running show, "Supernatural" & in one of the episodes, they have a picture of John in a baseball outfit holding a baseball bat.
Seems like Jeffrey Dean Morgan was always meant to play Negan & his performance is both terrifying & brilliant to watch. I look forward to what else he has in store, both the character & the Actor.
Also, funny you mention the walking dead. In one of the episodes dean and Sam actually FIND a baseball bag wrapped in barbed wire and say “dad would have loved this” I just think that’s amazing
And we thought that the governor was bad....
nileyfan199 He's kinds worse than Negan.
nileyfan1998 the governor is much worse in terms of morality and cruelty
Governor is worse than Negan he's rapist and complete psychopath Negan really thinks what he is doing is building the future of the human race.
He is bad. Worse than negan.
Altho i like negan more as a character
i love how he killed Alpha
Irving Ramirez I did too
Irving Ramirez I was just.........Shocked when that happen especially what happened to Lucille after attack Beta with her and you know what happened
Irving Ramirez Thanks for the spoilers anyways
Irving Ramirez i love how beta killed the priest
This is a terrible new for Rick's group, especially for Carl. I think the next comics of walking dead will change a lot.
WHO READY FOR THIS SUNDAY!?!? I KNOW I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
David Olvera OH FUCKETY FUCK YEAH!💯
David Olvera Yes and No
David Olvera TBH I'm actually kinda nervous
me too
Hey just saw it yesterday...and I wish I didn't see it ;(
Imagine if shane was still alive... he'd likely snipe Negan from afar wearing chest armor with a skull painted on the front.
Who's watching this after watching the Season 7 premiere
TVBnine me. man I loved Abraham's last words
And Glenn's fairwell at Talking Dead
Negan broke Rick and me at the same time !
TVBnine I got you beat; I just watched this after the season 8 finale!!!!!
Negan is the most badass antagonist I've seen. He is so infuriating that you love him.
Negan is my favorite Walking Dead character.
thanks for the comic book refresher. cant wait for tomorrow!
I knew I just love your videos
Am I the only one who thinks that John DiMaggio would be the perfect voice for Negan if we ever see a animated version of TWD?
Nice choice.
Either him, or Patrick Warburton
I'd find it funny if he kills Maggie in the show. Just because that would mean we watch Thomas Wayne kill Martha
Great video watchmojo, love the walking dead videos
Im so psyched for the premiere tomoriw
I fucking love that everyone "hates this show" now because they're heartbroken and how they've "gone too far". Nope.. THIS is the Walking Dead.
wait till the Whisperers come and put a bunch of main characters heads on spikes if Saviors are offending them they're gonna have a heart attack by them freaks
I think Negan is resonable but can be outrageous at times
He is my favorite out of all of them because he is insane in the badass way and sometimes he is caring in the comics
Thanks for doing them, I didn't think you would after I had asked but I did anyways because after I asked you guys to make the top10 Twenty One Pilots, you did the very next day, you guys are great!!
in the entire walking dead comics I have to say negan is the most well written character
I am a fan of him, i think they did a perfect job picking the right actor for this role.
please continue the comic book differences series for this! its been 2 years
Honestly, Negan is one of my favorite characters in the comics in a weird twisted way and I am not ashamed about it.
the tv version of negan sounds like he's half-asleep. the comic version always has him yelling and more ecstatic about everything.
maybe thats just the way you interpret it when you read
ResistanceForever huh? I thought this negan was just as flamboyant as he should have been
No that's the way he is meant to be. It is clear based on his expressions that he is energetic guy with a loud comedic voice.
In the premiere yes, but in the finale he was pretty soft spoken and sounded like he was half asleep.
I still think Negan is better in the show. In the comics he looks like a high school bully, of a Texas truck driver.
Neagan actually doesn't seem a bad. You could totally flip the story around and Neagan is just as good as Rick. Both have done fucked up shit, both are just trying to survive in the apocalypse. Also Rick kinda attacked Neagan first by killing his guys
"Taking it like a champ" from season 6 will always be one of my favorite endings to a season
Finally you guys do a Comic Book Origin of The Walking Dead comic book! You gotta do Rick and The Governor too
I seriously hope negan doesn't die! He is such a badass!
they kill him later on
mario167100 He's still alive
Spartan 122 Uh, no. No they don't, where'd you dat shit?
In the comic, Negan is actually fighting against the Whisperers with Alexandria after being held prisoner for a couple years. And Lucille is broken.
mcnasty6971 Lucille man..... #NeverForget
So is Negan going to become a mentor to Carl?
travisitio Carl killed negans men so he was just saying that he respected him for being a badass
travisitio hi
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a flashback episode or at least flashback sequences showing some, if not all, of Negan's backstory later on in this season.
One of the best adaptations of comic/book material into screen ever
2:59 Or else face destruction lol
i hope the television series doesn't ruin this great character.
One of my favourite characters ever created and written so well
Thomas Wayne being the savage that he was in flashpoint but in a different universe..Damn it Barry!
negan kills Abraham, Daryl pisses off negan and he kills Glenn for it.
SPOILER
that explains Daryl leaving the show
Pedro Sepulveda No it doesn't
Spooder Man how TF did U know this before lol
Spooder Man l
I Hope Clementine will kill Negan
House of M I would fucking fuck clementine the fuck up Til she cry's and pisses herself
Me too.
That will be fucking awesome.....
zombie lee will kill negan
I still miss Lee. :(
Negan is one of my favorite villains along with The Joker & Darkseid... Love his character
I *just* saw season 7 premiere. idk what to say...I'm speechless. too much happened at once
Glenn and abraham are gone 😫😥😭
Negan is being a good leader. Rick&co caused this mess by killing all those people.
im so intrigued by this character , cant wait . actor seems cool as well :D
Thanks for this! My first question after s7 e1 was, What is Negan's origin story?
The hate is strong with Negan! Too bad he is here to stay for a while, so those wishing he dies soon are in for a long wait. I've been waiting 5 years now, hell, i'm even beginning to like the guy! Kudos to Jeffrey Dean Morgan, spot on portrayal.
Yup I just want to see that Beta vs Negan a live screen hell he's my favorite character and people will realize he isn't that much of a villain when Whisperers come into play
Ugh! At 0:35 you say titular again. Also, twice you refer to "The Walking Dead" when you were talking about the walkers. The "Walking Dead" are the living, not the zombies.
Aristocob no man, the walking dead are the walkers (zombies)
Aristocob I agree. The walking dead maybe the zombies, but the humans are like the walking dead too in a way some are heartless, souless, cannibals..
gaaay
cry u little bitch
Daniel Machado I know this is a VERY old comment, but no The Walking Dead can refer to both, however in both the Comics and Show Rick refers to the humans as "The Walking Dead".
The reason for this is because they are all already infected and will turn, unless the brain is destroyed, so they are the walking dead. It is a double entendre.
Neegan is awesome. I love how he is ruthless and uncompromising
In case anyone misses the BLATANT analogy.
Negan = Givernment
Saviors= Government agents
Ricks crew= Tax payers
Half your shit= Taxes
Lucille=The implied violence of government if you don't play along
tbh. negan is the most badass character in twd
Is that backstory about Negan's wife supposed to make him sympathetic? It doesn't.
KCohere33 It isn't meant for you to feel a newfound sympathy for Negan. It shows that he was a bit less of an arrogant ass. Even though he cheated on his wife, and she knew about it, Negan still proclaimed love. If you study the comics, you will see that Negan was beaten by Rick but kept alive. Negan's story helps the others because he kills the head of a new organization coming soon, The Whisperers. Negan has a moral code. He objectifies rape and professes his ideology of the Strong are to protect the weak. Negan's back story was to show us all how deeply he was broken when the zombies came.
KCohere33 If I hate anything more than murderers, it's cheaters and gym teachers! He definitely doesn't get any sympathy from me!😂
I think it's used to show that trama affects everyone differently or something
I love comic book Negan and hope JDM can live up to the character. Made a great first impression with the way he broke Rick
Ok, what is the name of the background music? I NEEDIT!
HIIIIIGHLY doubt you guys have ever even read a single fucking issue of the Comics.
ImpalaDude1969 wow you must be bundles of fun
Ted Pabst No, I have a bundle of hatred for these assholes.
ImpalaDude1969 I'm really quite curious who you're so mad at and why
+ImpalaDude1969 well fuck off then
Well, that explains why your dad beat you while you was a child
please don't kill Glen in the show
glenn and abe dies
Gin Ichimaru I will
Gin Ichimaru well we don't have the token black guy for the season(the black guy with a label over his head saying "I will die a few episodes after my first appearance and you won't give a crap" so yes glen will die
Gin Ichimaru too late
"..or face destruction" no pun intended hahaha.
Negan is my second favorite character in the comics and number one in the show
He's like a better Harley Quinn
what? wtf how?
+spidog1 just because he also has a bat and just because i fucking hate Harley Quinn
Comics>series
"you killed my men, a whole damn lot of them, more then i'm comfortable with"-Love that line
I can see him smashing mailboxes while carpooling.
I have the walking dead luccile leaked Death go check it out it hurts
negan is gonna kill gleen I just know it
Joey22guns Zero Imo i think it Abraham
Aidan Last it's both
Joseph Donnelly Why would they kill both off?
Joey22guns Zero
SPOILERS don't read if you don't end to know what happens this Sunday
Abraham Lucilled first then Glenn so there are two Lucille Victims
he doesn't kill Glenn they already said it's different than the comics
Oh sure now we get into the comics once it's played in big picture
"It's gonna be pee pee pants city here real soon"
this son of a bitch killed the asian guy!
Why do you care if you don't even know the "asian guy" name
because they all look the same anyway. There's no need for different names.
TheMylittletony that's just racist
Saskia Viking don't asume what i know or not! that's just mean. i know his name is glenn though.
Saskia Viking that was the whole point. Why so serious?
that beard needs to go
Cho0segoose HE ACTUALLY TOLD US WHO HE WAS GONNA KILL IF THE RUMORS ARE TRUE...🤔FUCKING AMAZING
Lucille ...oh boy the who does want to see that Barbed Wire Baseball Bat ?
I'm hoping that they go into Negan's backstory during season 7 at some point in time.
I don't like the new intro
😭😭😭👺
Ishma Roldan why? Because Jeffery Dean Morgan got a part?
Unnamed Potato You're fucking stupid
Wow... the show really stayed true to the comics with Glenn. The eye popping out. Head caved in... sheesh.
Negan was the reason I returned to the Walking Dead. It sucks seeing Daryl so broken tho...
I just realized how fuckin more awesome this show would be if Shane were still alive, like what if he left when he was supposed to and joined the Saviors or even stayed with Rick's group and fought Negan in an all out war.
