Negan in T7 is easily the biggest plot twist of 2018

Let's be real.

This isn't going to boost Walking Dead's sinking ratings.

Safe to say this is a fanservice addition. The show is pretty popular in Japan.

I didn't know that. And I'm aware the show is being broadcasted there with a Japanese dub, according with the Japanese wikipedia.

You're right. It is multiple games:

Which is fine since as I'm pretty sure that wasn't the intent of this especially as if this is Neagan, Jeffrey Dean Morgan is obviously not going to factor into this appearance in anyway.

Given that the movie is based off a series which featured it I don't know why that would've been a big plot twist.

This crossover is to get Tekken in the news, just like Noctic showing up. Not the other way around.
Up next Pepsi Man! But seriously, i demand Grey Fox or Dante if literally anyone can now show up. Both would also work in Soul Calibur, which had Spawn and Joda. Meaning that Tekken still has to out crazy it´s sister series.

Comic Negan is great character btw. and the comic is still as good as ever. Thano´s big plot is taken directly from the first issue of a 1991 comic event. Anyone with wikipedia could have predicted that ending and it even made sense in the source material.

Man, I love this wave of insane guest Characters in fighting games.

Noctis in Tekken?
Cloud in Smash?

If you went back in time and told my ten year old self that Batman, Sub-Zero, AND the Ninja turtles would all be in one game you know what I'd say? "Who are you?!" and "I NEED AN ADULT!"
