After a six-month wait, the newest big bad of The Walking Dead has spoken: goodbye, Glenn Rhee and Abraham Ford.
In what was easily one of the bloodiest moments in television history, we were forced to watch as Negan, with that awesome Lucille bat of his, beat Glenn’s face in and almost rendered the man brain-dead. It was a tragic end for a well-loved character, one who had some of the greatest growth we’ve seen from any character in the entire franchise.
As we mourn the loss of one of television’s greatest Asian-American characters, now seems like a perfect time to look back at the best moments of Glenn Rhee, both before and after he met the beautiful Maggie Greene at her father’s farm.
Following their first supply run, w Tara nearly gets killed by a walker Aiden and Nicholas hung up for killing their friend, Glenn and Aiden get into a brief argument that leads to Glenn doing his best Jet Li impression.
I’ll Spare You, Part One: Even before Dale passed in Season 2, Glenn always tried to serve as one of the group’s main moral compasses, even to those who showed him and his family harm.
After the prison is attacked by the Governor’s militia in Season 4, a disoriented Glenn – who missed part of the battle thanks to the sickness that had taken over the prison – fights through a mini-herd of walkers before finding a mentally broken Tara, who had just watched her sister, Lily, be eaten alive.
With the war against the Governor and Woodbury on the horizon late in Season 3, Glenn – after getting Hershel’s blessing – proposes to Maggie with a wedding ring he cut off a walker’s hand.
Would you help the stranger, who has taken up a hiding spot in a tank surrounded by the same walkers that could kill you all? Glenn, thanks to his walkie-talkie and knowledge of Atlanta, helps the stranger – Rick Grimes – out, greeting him with one of the show’s most memorable lines: “Hey you, dumba**, you in the tank. Cozy in t?” Watching Rick’s reaction last night to Glenn dying and thinking back to their first encounter will really, really break your heart.
