5 fan questions about The Walking Dead answered for August 26, 2017

#1. You make it to season 8, you risk your life
Please forgive me if this is a repeat question: Do you think a major protagonist will die in S8? If so, who do you predict will die & how?

No point is waiting to dive into the big stuff. This question is quite straight forward and involved, but it’s what is really on the mind of most fans with All Out War approaching. Some people are going to die…but who, when, and why?
Personally, I think that fans hoping for major character deaths in season 8 will be disappointed. I feel like the only possible death of the original season 1 characters might be Morgan. However, there is also a possibility he could take on the role Heath has in the comics.
Odds are that we will see many smaller characters die. I think we’ll see characters like Eric, Tobin, Bruce, and others could bite the dust during the war, giving the battle a bigger feeling and bigger stage in season 8.
There will be blood during the season, but it won’t send fans into a tailspin. There’s just too much going on with the main characters to kill them off quite yet, even though The Saviors are a huge threat.
