WARNING: SPOILER ALERT

The latest instalment of The Walking Dead has clearly been controversial and sparked mixed reactions among its band of die-hard fans.

So divisive was the first episode, that there has even been some debate about whether fans will return to the series or swear off TWD for good.

One fan, YouTube user kristo499, has shown their dedication to the blockbuster series by putting together a painstaking, LEGO stop-animation video of the episode’s two big death scenes.

For the fans who found the original episode too hard to take, this might be a little easier to watch.

Episode sparks obituary

Many viewers took the shocking deaths of two fan favourites in the latest season as personally as a death in the family. But one Arkansas newspaper took it a step further.

This week, the Batesville Guard newspaper published an obituary for —spoiler alert — the popular character of Glenn Rhee, who was brutally killed in the newest episode of the zombie apocalypse drama.

With a headline of “RIP, Glenn,” the obituary says the character’s “commitment to moral principles in a world-gone-mad breathed hope and promise into those around him”. The obit seeks justice for Rhee’s death in lieu of flowers.

The newspaper says the obituary was written by Frank Vaughn, a soldier currently stationed in Puerto Rico who writes occasional columns for the paper.
