The Walking Dead: 8 Plot Twists Nobody Will See Coming In Season 8
1. Lucille Gets Destroyed
Lucille became the most famous bat outside of Major League Baseball when Negan wielded her so infamously at the beginning of The Walking Dead's seventh series.
The barbed-wire weapon has since become almost recognisable as the show's main cast, so the fans would no doubt mourn her absence against their better judgement if this twist comes to pass in the next series.
Rumblings online suggest Lucille is set to be destroyed in season 8, and the only people who would see that one coming are those who go poking around for spoilers on The Spoiling Dead Fans Facebook group.
Word has it that Daryl is the one who deprives Negan of his favourite weapon, which is named after his ex-wife.
This would be a curveball for the comic fans, who aren't expecting Lucille to meet her end until long after the war with Rick and his allies. In the source material, the bat survives the time jump and is still around well after The Whisperers have emerged.
Even fans of the show, whose knowledge of the comics is limited, will be shocked to see Negan's trademark weapon destroyed during the next series. No doubt they're expecting the all-out war to rage on for at least a season, and will want to see Jeffrey Dean Morgan's baddie tooled up throughout it.
What twists do you think could happen in Season 8? Let us know down in the comments.
