Last ideas

These two episodes have been monumental to the general story of The Walking Dead: Dead Metropolis Season 2. They contained the deaths of massive gamers just like the Dama and Narvaez, the breakdown of the “brotherhood” between Negan and the Croat, and a bear. Regardless of how a lot these episodes coated, they have been nicely-paced and visually pleasing. Though there have been many nice performances, the shining second was the battle between Negan and the Croat within the church. The battle and the dialogue on this scene have been a few of Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s greatest within the sequence.

The panorama of this season of The Walking Dead: Dead Metropolis has modified in these two episodes. With solely two left this season, we’re about to see who the true villain is and the place Negan and Maggie will land on this battle.
