‘The Waking Dead’ Season 7 Spoilers and News Update: New Fan Theory Bolsters Surprise Element of Upcoming Season
Season 7 of 'The Walking Dead' is still four months away and therefore, the wait is quite long for fans. But they know how to manage it. Theories have always been a fallback option for them and continue to be so. But the latest is quite a shocker.
According to reports, fans speculate that Negan did not kill anyone out of Daryl, Rick, Maggie, Glenn, Abraham and Michonne. Instead, he killed one of his own gang members. Now this is quite a U-turn, but fans reason that Nick does so in order to send a very strong message that, he does not spare anyone.
Well, it might be true as Robert Kirkman had hinted at a super shocking season 7 and also indicated that the cliffhanger was something that prepared the stage for season 7. He recently said that the next season will have something, which fans did not see coming at any point during the cliffhanger finale.
If this is true, it will indeed be a surprise, in sync with Robert's statement, but fans will also be outraged in equal measure as they have been wracking their brains about the identity of the victim ever since season 6 wrapped up. This shocker will make them feel betrayed and, thereby, hamper the credibility of the zombie series.
But, 'The Walking Dead' creators have been known to spring surprises and this is definitely one of the possibilities. They have deviated from the comic book version in the past and this time they might choose to spare Glenn who gets killed in the book.
Still, many fans are of the opinion that Glenn will bite the dust. There is also support in favor of Maggie, Daryl, Michonne and Abraham. Abraham's name has been the most popular because he had an emotionally-charged journey in the finale and many see it as a precursor to his death.
Well, going by the past events in the show, one can only say that anything is possible. And until the seventh season starts airing, fans should take every victim-related theory with a pinch of salt.
