Supposedly the violence got toned down in the second half of the season

I still think the most violent, torture porn-esque thing they've ever done was Noah's death.

Lol so fucking stupid. How you could watch this show and only now get upset over the violence? Where were all these complaints in the opening of season 5? Or when Noah got his fucking face ripped apart. Pretty sure people were just mad that their favorite was getting killed and they had to see them go out in a terrible way. If this shit happened to someone like Tobin no one would've given a rat's ass. Don't know why they would tone shit down when the majority of people didn't actually give a fuck.Supposedly the violence got toned down in the second half of the season

I get why it's there and I don't complain, but I'm happy with this. I'm here for the story (lol), not the violence. The violence was over the top this season. It was disgusting. I usually watch shows while eating but I can't watch this show at dinner anymore.
It's always been bad. We all get that. We all expect it. But you cannot deny that this season is worse simply because of who Negan is. It was important that they establish the character that way. But he's established now. They can safely back off until the conclusion of his story arc when that violence will need to be revived.

The violence was relatively the same as has always been, the difference is that humans were causing the violence instead of zombies. Negan bashing in someone's skull is worse than a face being chewed off? Having Negan spill someone's guts with a knife is worse than a zombie doing the exact same thing with its teeth?I get why it's there and I don't complain, but I'm happy with this.

Most people ignore the writing because unless you are literally reading subtitles or the script you will forget it within seconds. People like a story if it has good execution. Good writing can only make a story better arguably, not worse.Man some of you must have never watched zombie media if you can't handle some gore. Its a bloody zombie show. I want to see people get completely fucked up. I like that you laugh at the fact you watch for the story. The writing ranges from mediocre to awful.
Whether or not they should tone down the violence, there is a distinct difference between killing walker-fodder and destroying your fav characters in a visceral way.Re the violence - everyone goes "zombie kill of the week!" when Daryl uses a chain to slice off the tops of three walkers' heads ... but as soon as Negan pounds a couple dudes into mush it's all "oh it's too violent."
Negan gutting Spencer was kind of stupid and over-the-top. Like, I wouldn't expect that outside of a Sam Raimi or Troma movie.
If they're cutting back on the ridiculous violence I think I would be fine with it.
Scott Gimple said:Gimple pointed out that the premiere, in which Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) beat two characters to death with a baseball bat in vivid detail, was supposed to be more violent than usual, and nothing else in the season is intended to match that level of brutality.
"The violence in the premiere was for a specific narrative purpose and I would never say that that's the baseline amount of violence that we would show on the show," said Gimple. "If we're ever going to see something that pronounced, there needs to be a specific narrative purpose for it."
Greg Nicotero said:Nicotero issued a flat denial when asked if The Walking Dead toned down the violence due to viewer response. He added that they wouldn't do the premiere differently, either, and that they'll probably never tone down the violence.
"I don't think we'll ever pull ourselves back," Nicotero said.
