När säsong sju av zombiesuccén The Walking Dead hade premiär i höstas möttes man av en hel del kritiska röster som ansåg att debutavsnittet var alldeles för brutalt och våldsamt. En av producenterna vid namn Gale Anne Hurd förklarade sedan att man skulle korrigera resten av säsongen och dra ner på våldsamheter för att möta anmärkningarna, men nu kontrar två andra producenter med ett utlåtande som säger motsatsen. På frågan om man tonade ner våldet svarar nämligen producenten/regissören Greg Nicotero följande:
"No.
As brutal as that Episode 1 was, it's still part of our storytelling bible, which is what the world is about, I don't think we would ever edit ourselves, and I think--even after looking at that Episode 1 again--as tough as it was for people to watch, I don't think we would have done it any differently. I don't think we'll ever pull ourselves back. There is definitely a difference between violence against walkers and human-on-human violence, but truthfully, we're serving our story."
Även The Walking Dead-höjdaren Scott Gimple försvarar premiären och säger att våldsamheterna inte ska ses som en standard utan mer som en kulmination i berättandet:
"The violence in the premiere was pronounced for a reason. The awfulness of what happened to the characters was very specific to that episode and the beginning of this whole new story. I don't think like that's the base level of violence that necessarily should be on the show. It should be specific to a story and a purpose, and there was a purpose of traumatizing these characters to a point where maybe they would have been docile for the rest of their lives, which was Negan's point."
