Seems like
People familiar with only show Negan rate him as garbage
People familiar with only comic Negan rate him well
Strangely, I assumed comic Negan was somewhat consistent with the show based on Scarlet's write-up of the guy from the comic villain topic of yore. Seemed like the constant was "annoying dude who overstays his welcome" but I guess he's written a lot better in the comic so he comes off as an effective villain to some rather than just cheap heat.
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!
