Why Negan should join forces with Alexandria in taking down the Whisperers
By Sara Khan
Negan is out of his cell, and may possibly be out looking for revenge, but it would be a very good idea for Negan to join the rest of the survivors in Alexandria in helping to take down the Whisperers.
The threat of the latest group of villains in The Walking Dead who go by the name The Whisperers presents huge obstacles ahead for all of the communities. It’s safe to say that Jesus will most likely not be the only death that the Whisperers will cause, so the communities are going to need all of the man and woman power they can get in order to possibly combat this new threat.
Now that Negan is out and free from the cell that he was locked in Alexandria for so long, it’s going to be interesting to see what his next move will be. Knowing Negan, it’s quite possible that he is out looking for revenge, but it would be a much better idea for Negan to join forces with the survivors of Alexandria in order to help take down the Whisperers.
It sounds like a crazy idea, but Negan could actually be really helpful in this situation. When Negan was in charge of the Saviors back at the Sanctuary, Negan had a really good system kept in place. Everyone had a job, and it seemed that when the time came to mobilize, Negan always had a good plan of action on how he would go about taking down the enemy.
Negan could have some really great ideas as to how the communities should mobilize in order to prepare for whatever the Whisperers are going to throw at them, so they can prepare ahead of time. While the survivors in Alexandria will most certainly be opposed to this idea, it’s possible that they might allow this to happen.
It seems that if any member of the Alexandria community had a good impact on Negan so far, it was Judith Grimes. Negan and Judith seem to have had conversations regularly when he was locked in the cell. Negan seemed to really enjoy how intelligent and witty Judith was, there was definitely a bond that formed between them over the years.
It’s possible that Negan’s connection with Judith might convince him to avoid seeking revenge on the community which imprisoned him, and instead join forces and align with them in order to help protect them.
Judith Grimes is a lot like her brother Carl Grimes in the sense that they advocated for change and helping others. Judith might be the one to convince the others in the community to allow Negan to join forces with them.
We will just have to see exactly which side Negan chooses to be on when The Walking Dead returns to AMC for the second half of season 9 on Sunday, February 10th.
What do you think that Negan should do?
