I enjoy JDM, but will admit his act is wearing thin. He certainly has been the most "devastating" of the Walking Dead villains, but Negan hasn't really been a developed and compelling character beyond "he bashes people's heads in". I'm hoping we get some Negan-centric episode that delves into his character and his backstory. Kind of like how we had with The Governor (now there was a well developed villain).

Not even close to the most devastating villain. The Governor holds that title because the Governor was a full character with charisma, a murky past and a hell of a dark side and he provided a legitimate threat to the camp.
Negan is just pointless.
It's not even bleakness or lack of hope or anything…he's just a really shitty villain that should have been played a hell of a lot better by a far better actor.

Negan is not how you design or portray villains. Negan would have been far better served being played by Henry Rollins seeing as he's a charismatic badass that can actually act and the entire character is based on him anyway.

Maybe Walking Dead just doesn't want to go on any more. I could understand that. it has become laughably bad.

"Devastating" in the sense of the "impact" and "success" that he has had, in that he killed two major characters, and had essentially "won" for a time before Rick decided to fight back.

Agree that otherwise he hasn't been that interesting and compelling a character. Especially compared to The Governor.
