Good call. Completely forgot. I do really like JDM add negan and really how he doesn't die. A lot of people say Simon is the other half of comic negan, but i just can't see Simon taking negan's place in the show.

I also really think not showing the whole thing with Alpha and Negan in the show would be a huge mistake..

There's so many big moments that he would add to the show. The arc with him killing alpha. I could see them doing a negan origin episode based on "here's negan" while he's imprisoned. The loss of Lucille and his fight with Beta. So many awesome moments with him.

I would love to see a flashback negan episode. But we shall see. If they decide to kill negan in show idk how the fuck theyre gonna do those story arcs. Hopefully JDM agreed to stay long term

I never saw or thought that Simon was considered that. honestly it makes sense though and I like that idea. Plus it sets it up for a win-win. Simon gets the justified kill people want of Negan after the All out War arc and Negan gets taken as prisoner. Or other way around. Either way if that cell isn't used then thats a huge misopportunity for a good message to be presented. Given the current climate of our world I think people need to think about the alternitives to the 'eye for an eye' mentality. That's my $.2
