Norman Reedus just confirmed what we thought was going to happen to Daryl once he escaped in The Walking Dead Season 7 : Nothing good will come out of Daryl leaving The Kingdom.
[WARNING: THE WALKING DEAD SEASON 7 SPOILERS AHEAD]
Daryl left the Kingdom and it had nothing to do with Morgan, Ezekiel or Richard’s dumbass decisions. Daryl left to go take care of the Negan threat himself. He’s not willing to do things Rick’s way. Not this time.
“He’s just done. He’s going to do it himself,” Reedus told Entertainment Weekly. “The thing about Daryl is, he’s loyal to one group, and it’s hard for him to stay behind and stay behind and stay behind. He’s just had enough. He’s got to figure out a way to do this where it works for everybody, but also he’s not going to take anything away from his family.”
We’ve always known Daryl’s time on the show will come to an end one day. We know he can’t live forever. There’s really only three people that are safe on the show: Rick, Michonne and Carl. These three are protected by plot armor. And let’s face it, the show can’t survive with Rick going off the deep end. It’s no longer interesting to see crazy Rick.
So what’s Daryl planning ? He knows the layout of Sanctuary pretty well at this point. He spent a lot of time cleaning up after Negan and his people. However, the place is heavily guarded with several people patrolling at all times. It only takes one person to spot him and Daryl’s done. We don’t think Negan will risk losing him a second time. Negan will crush his skull in front of Rick’s group just to show them who’s in charge.
How do you think Daryl will attempt to kill Negan? Will he take his time and wait for the moment to put an arrow through his skull? Let us know in the comments section below. The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC.
