Changes between S6E16 and S7E1.

[u/Humbug93]

This was inspired by the other post asking who you thought Negan was going to off during that scene. It reminded me of something I haven’t seen discussed since back then so…

Before we knew it would all end in a cliffhanger, the finale opens up with these blurry shots of light poking through what looks like cracks and bullet holes and the savior whistles can be heard in the background. These scenes continue to be shown throughout the episode until it’s revealed it was the POV of the characters that had been captured prior to the rest of the group and being held in the back of a van. They are Daryl, Michonne, Rosita, and Glenn. We then go through the whole line up and the infamous cliffhanger death happens in the same POV fashion.

Afterwards on Talking Dead, Scott Gimple tells the audience that they will deliver an episode that will justify the cliffhanger but he also says there are clues hidden throughout the episode that may tell you who it was.

Assuming those POV shots were the clues, many fans narrowed it down to one of those 4 characters in the back of the van with Glenn being the most obvious one.

So my question is, do you think it actually was Glenn that died during S6E16 only for them to change it to Abraham in S7E1 so they can have Glenn be a second victim in an attempt to respond to the backlash and justify the cliffhanger?

I always thought it was rather strange and somewhat inconsistent that it turned out to be Abraham’s POV. Especially when they added him having enough time to say “suck my nuts.”

Anyway sorry for the long post but what do you guys think?
