The Walking Dead Season 7: 9 Reasons Glenn Must Be Killed By Negan
2. Adds Weight To Negan
One of the most important aspects of the death is not related to the victim in the slightest. This is all about Negan's reputation.
Sure, we wouldn't see Glenn any more, but Negan would absorb his stature and set him on the path to becoming the biggest true villain in the show's history.
If Negan eliminated Eugene he'd seem like a failure as he would've missed his clean shot at a big player in true Hollywood style. If Negan strikes Glenn down, however, the entire fanbase would be put on red alert for what he could mean to the group.
