The Walking Dead is now at the point with Negan it feels like it always wanted to be (and often thought it already was): they can make him the hero of the show.

Not fully, given the things he’s done, but they can’t very well keep Jeffrey Dean Morgan locked in a cell forevermore, especially with Rick going and Carl gone (the two he interacts with most while there in the comics).

If there’s to be any point to the awful decision to kill Carl, then Negan needs to develop into a good guy, and for that, he needs to live. The show could certainly use Morgan’s natural charm and charisma too, which is another reason to keep him around.

Prediction: Lives
