Prepare for Return of “The Walking Dead” With Negan’s Uncensored Season 6 Speech
“I am going to beat the holy fuck, fucking fuck, fuckity fuck out of one of you.”
Say what you want about the frustrating cliffhanger this past season of “The Walking Dead” left us with, but one thing you cannot deny is that Negan’s arrival on the scene was one of the best scenes in the series’ history. Played by a commanding Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Negan is the first villain on the show to truly strike fear in Rick’s heart, and watching him so brutally take control of our beloved group of survivors was one of the most upsetting things I have ever seen on the small screen.
Whose brains did he beat in? We’ll find out this coming Sunday night. But in the meantime, we wanted to share with you a snippet of Negan’s uncensored speech, which of course did not make it on television. The uncut, expletive-filled scene, which is much more true to the comic book than what we saw on AMC earlier this year, can be watched on the home video release of the show’s sixth season, and it fully confirms that Jeffrey Dean Morgan was the perfect man to play Negan.
Greg Nicotero recently explained:
We had to shoot two versions — we had to shoot the Blu-ray version, which had a lot of the swearing and a lot of Negan’s colorful language, and then we had to shoot the broadcast version. So when you get the DVD or the Blu-ray version, that will have the full Negan speech from the graphic novel.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
