Jeffrey Dean Morgan Says Negan Should Not Have Killed Glenn On ‘The Walking Dead'
Negan The Walking Dead decided to change a large number of things from the comics but ultimately kept its most harrowing kill in place, Negan executing Glenn with a bat in the most brutal way possible. That moment has haunted the series for years, as the show's ratings dropped, losing a full two million viewers by the next episode, and the series never recovered. If you ask most Walking Dead viewers when they stopped watching, probably 70% of them will say Glenn's death, which seemed like it went too far even though yes, it was very much faithful to the comic. Other controversial deaths like Carl Grimes, were not. Now, in a First We Feast interview between Maggie's Lauren Cohan and Negan's Jeffrey Dean Morgan to promote their show Dead City, Morgan says outright that if there was one plotline he would change, it's that kill. Morgan: I'm just gonna say this, it would have made both our lives easier, maybe not kill Glenn. Cohan: Yeah Morgan: It would have shifted the stories in a lot of ways, but you wouldn't be mad at me. Cohan: Wait, maybe we'd be like buddies! Morgan: Yeah, we'd probably be buddies! I mean, Glenn probably would have died some other way, but I wouldn't have had anything to do with it. So I'll say that just to be safe. Glenn It seems like a huge mistake in hindsight to both kill Glenn from a story perspective and also to lose actor Steven Yeun, who went on to be both a Best Actor Oscar nominee, the first Asian-American nominated, and went on to win an Emmy for his role in Beef. Now, he stars in one of Amazon's biggest shows, Invincible. Yeun did not seem pleased with his death and never returned to the show for any sort of guest dream/flashback spot the way nearly all other characters did. The Walking Dead made many mistakes over the years, but that was arguably the biggest, comic faithful or not. Now, I've speculated that the entire series is winding down, reduced to just two shows, Maggie and Negan's Dead City and Daryl Dixon's Daryl Dixon. Daryl's show is at least somewhat higher-profile and constantly renewed, where I am less confident in the future of Dead City after season 2 here. AMC does not want to let go, but maybe it's time to move on. The glory days are long behind the series, and yes, it really did peak with the pre-Negan Glenn kill. After that, the fall began.

Connection: The Real Reason We Listen
Connection and Community Hearing is a science; listening is an art. So goes the opening line to The Third Ear: Reflections on the Art and Science of Listening by Elizabeth Rosner. It so intrigued me that I opened our interview by asking her to explain it: "There's a difference between looking at something and observing something or tasting something and then trying to really figure out the ingredients of what you've just tasted. I think hearing is similar in that there's more going on than just frequency and vibration entering our ears.' [Rosner attributes the concept of the Third Ear to Theodor Reik, a psychoanalyst who was an early student of Sigmund Freud.]Rosner adds that considering listening as an art means it requires "filtering, discernment, [and] questioning. There are all the creative practices you do when you hear sound of a certain kind or memory associated with sound.' The challenge is to 'Think beyond just the limitations of what [hearing and listening] can do.' When that occurs, the two become 'a full-body experience of taking in a sound or a silence for that matter.' Naturally occurring metaphor One metaphor—one that is real, too—is a forest. Trees do communicate with one another. Rosner explains, citing the research of forest-ecologist Suzanne Simard, that trees are connected to one another via proximity, of course, but also through their underground root systems, where chemical substances are exchanged. What trees together have is a community, not unlike mammals like dolphins and whales, whose sounds are actually a highly developed language. There is a wealth of resources on how to listen more effectively, but when you dig more deeply, too often, we look at listening more as a process and less as a connection. The purpose of listening is to connect more fully with others. Rosner looks at real listening as the ability to be heard and understood. When so much of daily life is compressed into activity after activity, it cannot be easy to make that true connection. When someone truly listens to us, we show them the respect they deserve. "You're going to wait before you respond because you were so fully attentive to me that you weren't just planning what you were going to say in response,' Rosner says. Listening to another is a form of respect that says, 'You have something to say and I will give you the time to say it.' Building community Rosner's exploration of hearing and listening is anchored in her upbringing; she is the daughter of Holocaust survivors. Her mother spoke seven languages, and her father three. With their children, they used English, but Rosner recalls a polyphony of languages between her parents and their friends. 'And I think I was looking for connection through sound, and some of that was human language, and some of that was the sound of my dog or the sound of the wind or underwater sounds. And so it was all a part of my discovery of how I belonged in the world, not just the human world, but the wide world.' Community is built upon a network of people all connected through a system of shared wants and needs as well as shared values and goals. 'We cannot live only for ourselves,' wrote Herman Melville. 'A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men.' Those fibers – like tree roots are living – and like optical cables – are connected. How we choose to make use of these connections enables us to create communities that matter. And fundamental to the community is listening, not just hearing but surrendering our attention to one another. Tips for Better Listening To become a better listener, focus on what the other person is saying. Engage in conversation to put the person at ease. Conversation is not about scoring points; it is rooted establishing a connection. Listen both for what you hear as well as what you do not hear. Good listeners will draw out the speaker, making it comfortable for them to share their ideas. And remember the adage: the more you listen, the more you may understand.

‘Monster Hunter Wilds' Collapses With 1% Of Launch Players, 82% Negative Reviews
Monster Hunter Wilds While Monster Hunter Wilds received a lot of praise at launch, the longer-term fortunes of the game four months later have been dismal. Both review sentiment and playercount have collapsed. On Steam, recent reviews are just 18% positive, giving the game the dreaded Overwhelmingly Negative classification and dropping its overall reviews to 'mixed.' Playercount is even crazier. Monster Hunter Wilds now has fewer concurrent players on Steam than the seven-year-old, 2018 Monster Hunter World, which fans have deemed the superior long-term game. The negative reviews are largely split into two camps. The first is the fact that PC performance is horrible, and for many, seemingly getting worse over time with Capcom's fixes failing or not coming fast enough, even months after release. Here's one excerpt: That seems to be the more pressing issue, but further complaints highlight a lacking endgame that has not been expanded enough over time, despite Capcom's stated plans to add more interesting and engaging content. Speaking from personal experience, as someone who sunk maybe 10 total hours into past Monster Hunter games, I found myself reaching the end, grinding the best gear, and running out of stuff to do relatively quickly into what was supposed to be the endgame. Despite some new monsters and new difficulty increases, it's just not enough, and so fans are heading back to Monster Hunter World. Monster Hunter Wilds Wilds launched with 1.38 million concurrent players. It's now peaking at around 17,000 a day, around 1.23% of launch. Some may now cite the old 'you can't judge a game's playercount this far after launch' idea, but yes, in this case, you absolutely can. As evidenced by Worlds, the seven-year-old game, this is a series meant to be played and grinded for an extremely long time. Dropping to 1% of its playercount just four months after release, and below Worlds, is absolutely abysmal; there's just no getting around that. Monster Hunter Wilds will be releasing its second title update at the end of this month. Title Update 1 briefly tripled the game's players but soon lost them, and sentiment around the game has gotten increasingly worse since then. Unless this new update comes with a huge amount of fixes and content, it's unlikely to reverse the game's fortunes, and Capcom needs to pull back and figure out what went wrong here and how to truly fix it. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
