The Walking Dead season 6 Blu-Ray: Negan swears like a sailor
By Adam Carlson
On the uncensored version of Negan’s lineup scene on The Walking Dead: The Complete Sixth season, the The Saviors’ leader swears so much sailors would blush.
Fans of The Walking Dead comic book series know that Negan’s vocabulary consists mostly of four letter words. He seems to love most words that start with ‘f’ or ‘s’ but also tosses in many other unique swear words as well.
That kind of language wouldn’t fly on AMC. For television. the hit zombie survival drama filmed a version that is much cleaner than the dialogue that happened in the pages of the popular comic book series. But fans of the tv program can finally hear what this would have sounded like if The Walking Dead weren’t a basic cable television show.
Included on The Walking Dead: The Complete Sixth Season Blu-Ray collection, one of the special features will be an alternate version of this scene, with enough swear words to make even the most foul-mouthed of sailors blush.
Here is the count that
had during the alternate scene:
- F**k: 3
- F**ked: 2
- F**king: 16
- F**ker: 1
- F**kety: 1
- Total F’s: 23
For many fans, this may be considered gratuitous vulgarity, but the extremely colorful language adds a unique power to the scene and showrunner Scott M. Gimple wanted to make sure fans had to opportunity to view that scene as intended.
"“There’s no way [Negan] could drop that amount of f-bombs that he does in the comic on TV,” Gimple told THR in March. “There’s simply no way. In some way, it can’t be full on, but as long as we have the full-on version, they will come out and people will be able to watch them. That to me was the most important thing, that the full-on Negan exists and it’s available.”"
