How Long Will It Take Rick to "Crack" After Negan Makes Him His "Bitch?"

[Rolexus]

Thanks to the leaked audio from the Finale, the glorious era of the Ricktatorship will end Sunday Night as Rick starts his new job working for Negan. Since Rick's demotion from HMFIC to Negan minion results from 6x16 spoilers how well do you think Rick will "adjust?" Is he even capable of taking orders after being large & in charge for so long? Or is that "hard left turn" that keeps popping up in Finale Spoilers possibly allude that Rick could go Beast Mode right before the Lucille's last swing OR perhaps in a Coda like the one that ran after S5F in which Michonne declded not to retire her katana over the mantle? It ain't S7 yet & Rick can unleash the dogs of war even in the most hopeless situations (Ex. Terminus, Claimers, RV-assaulting Wolves, etc...). All he needs is a few secs on the clock & he can burn your ass worse than Tom Brady in the Playoffs.

Your thoughts?

Rick and the others will beat the shit out of every Saviors.

Daryl will take one Savior(named Leopold) and use him as a bowling ball, wiping out an entire crew in one strike. Carol will hide a tank in her undewear, obviously. Glenn will be removed from the credits for 12 episodes after falling off a ladder(it wasn't actually him). Michonne will have bullets hidden in her katana. Abraham will throw dolphins at them. Maggie will use Enid as a scare tactic(cause she's annoying as fuck). Sasha will tell everyone to 'come inside'. Aaron will throw explosive license plates at them. Morgan will break his stick in half to be even more effective. Rosita and Tara will kiss to distract the saviors(and everyone else for that matter). Jesus will do very cool karate moves that we won't get to see because we need time for a long-ass unncessary song-intro. Spencer will try to hook up with Olivia. Father Gabriel will politely ask them to get back to church and if they say no, that's when he takes out his Uzi . And Carl... Carl... is he still on the show ?

I think - and hope - Rick won't crack and will actually act like his comic counterpart.

Rick as a character has been really NOT interesting for me ever since they arrived in Alexandria. He's had some good moments but I think he needs to step up his game.

If Rick is Tom Brady then Negan is Eli Manning.

Hopefully not very long. The entire point of Negan is to bring Rick down a few pegs and humble him. Rick likes to put on a brave face but despite how ruthless he can be it generally doesn't take him very long to freak out if the right buttons are pushed, especially when it comes to Carl. This is understandable - but usually he just resorts to outright violence because the show loves to make the antagonists seem incompetent and just be fodder for Rick's group to kill. When it comes to Negan, however, he'll need to beg and bring shame on himself because unlike with the other antagonists he can't just wait for his chance to break free and get his revenge. Negan doesn't pull any punches.

I don't see what they have to even worry about here. It doesn't matter if there are hundreds of Saviors. Just send Carol to their headquarters. By the end of 7a she will be tossing them like javelins with one hand, unwrapping the barbed wire from Lucille with telekinesis, and farting bullets at them at the speed of light. Rick has nothing to worry about.

This sounds about right to me. The show has pretty much wandered into the realm of a TWD/X-Men mash up. It's a good job that Negan doesn't have a tank, or Carol would be flipping it with one hand. Maggie's baby would be able to mind-control Negan from still inside the womb and make HIM TF's bitch. Carl would probably be able to fly...or disappear. Oh wait....

Ha! Probably the whole time Negan is talking, Rick is thinking, "How soon can I kill him?"

[Zytka]

yep.

Except by the time Rick finally has the opportunity to kill Negan and enact his revenge (which I'm assuming will likely be just after Negan kills Morgan right in front of him), he's just going to throw Negan in the jail that was constructed.
