Yeah the one thing people need to understand about Negan is that he says he doesn't want to kill any of them, but they killed a lot of his men so he had to make an example of them and get them to submit. Yes he does enjoy killing to a point, but he doesn't do it just to do it. He does it to make everyone fall in line out of fear and usually only if they deserve it. Not to mention the gore was so laid back than what there would actually be in real life. There would have been a ton more blood.
And to top it off his death is nearly frame for frame with the comic.
