The Walking Dead showrunner, Scott Gimple, has angered fans by comparing the (rightfully) outraged response to the butchered ending of the season six finale to kids having a tantrum.
Speaking to Variety about the fan response, he said: “When you’re a parent, your kid might have a tantrum for a lot of different reasons and you still have to love them and try to do right by them. I do want to do right by this audience. I hope to win back or assuage some of the anger.”
Well Gimple, perhaps ‘the kids’ wouldn’t be pissed off if you hadn’t taken an iconic comic book moment and turned it into a ratings gimmick. But that’s just like, my opinion, man.
In the meantime, you can read our review of the episode. Or, as Gimple would have it, our “tantrum”.

He called the reaction a tantrum? Nail. Hammer. Head.
