Every once in a while, Glenn Rhee’s gruesome death in The Walking Dead Season 7 premiere comes back to haunt everyone. His death was a turn-off for many fans of the series. Many claim it was too violent to put on cable television. But at that point in the series, cannibals were slashing people’s throats and walkers were ripping survivors apart. There was far worse gore in previous seasons, which had already cut out much more disturbing scenes from the comics. The true problem with Glenn’s death was that it was teased by a cliffhanger that people had to wait months for. Gore and guts is par for the course of The Walking Dead. You can’t blame it for going all out with the most iconic death from the comics.
