Tbf shit isnt that different than the stuff Clevelanders eat on a daily basis <| sep |> Actually , that is what a tender is . <| sep |> The show completely botched the Negan ambush , and not just because of the cliffhanger . The ambush in the comics was sudden and unexpected , and a main character was suddenly yanked away . Ricks group was at a high point and Negan brought them right back down . Whereas the show decided to spend 3 episodes slowly building up to the ambush using character stupidity as the main driver looking at you Carol , Darryl and Denise . Nothing about the ambush made any sense . How did the Saviors just sneak up on Glenn and Michone ? How did they coordinate the overly elaborate roadblock setups ? How the fuck did the saviors stack up those logs without heavy machinery ? How did they know to park their trucks in the exact spot in the woods where Ricks group would run to ? And to top it all off , when the moment finally came , the audience is robbed by that ridiculous cliffhanger .
