The Walking Dead: 10 Outrageous Comic Moments That Won't Be Used

Ezekiel - often referred to as King Ezekiel - is the leader of a community of survivors called The Kingdom, yet another group introduced later in the comic series, and is a major opponent of Negan. Like with Monroe, it seems as though if the show is going to introduce Negan, then his character has to come into play as well.

He’s a friend of Monroe, and works together with him and Rick against Negan. But the most interesting part of his character? He has a tiger. Yes, a PET TIGER!

The prospect of having a tiger prowling around the show, ripping apart zombies, sounds immensely cool on paper, but is it one the show can really do? It has introduced crazy elements over the years - cannibals, for example - but there could be a feeling that this would be jumping the shark somewhat, and there’s a question of whether the show’s budget could sustain it as a regular ‘cast member’ and make it look convincing.
