Predicting Characters’ Demises in The Walking Dead Season 6 Finale

It's no secret that The Walking Dead continues to captivate audiences with its tense and unpredictable storyline. As Season 6 reaches its climax, fans are left wondering which major character is most likely to die in the season finale. My pick for the most likely to die is Eugene Porter. Eugene, played by Steven Yeun, has been a key figure in the show and a consistent source of tension, both on his own and in his relationships with other characters. Let's break down why Eugene is my top choice and explore other potential outcomes.

Why Eugene?

The victim in the initial hits appeared to be male, as Negan delivered approximately 7-8 devastating blows before the character's demise. A woman, given biological realities, would likely not have taken that much punishment. Considering the unique physical toll, we're left with six male characters and a boy to still be eliminated from consideration.

Now, let's rule out a few key characters:

Rick Grimes and Carl Grimes: Negan made it clear that any movement would result in cutting the boy's other eye and feeding it to his father. Rick is no longer the focal point of the show's primary characters, and Carl's safety is a significant consideration. Daryl Dixon: Daryl has unfinished business with Negan, adding a layer of potential conflict. However, Daryl remains a fan favorite, making his survival a strong possibility. Glenn Rhee: They've already used him for a trick this season, and his importance as a character suggests they'll likely preserve his role until later seasons. Aaron: While Aaron can be a strong character, his development seems crucial for future seasons, making his survival more likely. Abraham Lincoln: Abraham displayed courage and strength, making him a valuable asset. He's also been planning his family, which adds a sense of importance to his survival.

That leaves us with Eugene and Abraham. While killing Abraham would be effective given his role under Negan, Eugene appears to be the more compelling option. Here's why:

Eugene’s Redundancy: Eugene previously provided the directions to make bullets to Rick, rendering him somewhat redundant. Emotional Bonding: Eugene is closely connected to many characters, including Abraham, Rosita, Rick, and Tara. His death would significantly impact these relationships. Physical Weakness: Eugene's weak condition may have been noted by Negan when he was captured on the caravan, indicating Negan's willingness to kill him.

I understand the personal emotions attached to hating Eugene, but his acting and character development deserve recognition.

Other Potential Deaths and Outcomes

While Eugene is my primary prediction, the show has numerous ways to deliver dramatic endings. Here are some additional predictions:

Stalked by a Savior: Morgan is stalked by a member of the Saviors who survived Carol's initial confrontation. The show may end by showing Morgan's potential demise, adding to the suspense. Meeting Lucille: Although Norman Reedus has confirmed Daryl's survival, the show could still play tricks on us. The scene with Negan and a tied-up-looking Glen further complicates the possibilities. Combat Deaths: The preview of Rick leaving with Eugene and Spencer sets up potential combat deaths. Father Gabriel's presence suggests a diversionary attack, possibly leading to Spencer's death.

In conclusion, while Eugene is my top pick, the show's penchant for dramatic twists means any character could be the savior or the one to die. The finale holds many possibilities, and fans will have to wait until the end to find out who will meet their fate. The Walking Dead continues to captivate audiences with its complex plot and iconic characters, ensuring a thrilling season finale.
