"The Walking Dead" Season 7 premiere tease had been promising a deeply changed Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), but just how changed in the face of "unique" villain Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan)? Suffice it to say that Jeffrey Dean Morgan has psyched himself against the fan hate that "The Walking Dead" Season 7 will generate for what he and The Saviors do to Rick Grimes and the Alexandria survivors.
E! News cites "The Walking Dead" executive producer Gale Anne Hurd on describing just how seriously "TWD" fans should take Negan in Season 7. According to Gale Anne Hurd, Negan is unique among all the villains that have passed through AMC's "The Walking Dead" series.

While all other villains root their evil in twisted justifications for their sordid deeds, "The Walking Dead" Season 7 will reveal Negan to essentially be without a conscience. Negan does what he does for the evil of it.

"He doesn't seem to have much of a conscience about it, and that's the kind of person we haven't seen before," Gail Anne Hurd described Negan. "Everyone else had a justification that they were reasoning as to why they did what they did, some of the evil things.
ComingSoon reports that a new photo for "The Walking Dead" Season 7 has been released by AMC and Negan looks exactly as Gail Anne Hurd described. In "The Walking Dead" Season 7 photo, Negan points a gun at an intended victim while the "TWD" villain smiled with pleasure.

Rick Grimes, who at the best of times hangs by a thread of sanity and hope after Lori Grimes died, will definitely be pushed over the edge of darkness in "The Walking Dead" Season 7. As helpless as he is against Negan, Parent Herald cites reports that Rick Grimes may become a villain himself in his desperate need to shake Negan off his and the Alexandria survivors' backs.
How many in Rick Grimes' group Negan would be able to persuade away from their moral compass will be part of the heartbreak and tragedy of "The Walking Dead" Season 7. On his end, Jeffrey Dean Morgan has been readying himself a long time for how much "TWD" fan hate Negan will receive in "The Walking Dead" Season 7.
AMC airs "The Walking Dead" Season 7 premiere on Oct 23. Have you figured out the best way to defeat Negan and The Saviors or do you think Rick Grimes and company are doomed the whole of "The Walking Dead" Season 7?
