This is the problem i find with following TWD online. If we meet bad guys and they are beaten fast and easily then people complain that it was too easy and we need a better enemy with a long storyline. As soon as we get a new enemy with long story line that is being built over a season not a couple of episodes, then it is being drawn out.
Im not saying you are guilty of both, just the fans in general. We can't have it both ways. Either its over quickly or we give it time to build up. Personally i think its good to see a storyline develop over time to make you properly hate the bad guys and to make them seem harder to beat. At this point Negan seems invincible. We know he isn't and one of the group will kill him but i want to see it progress over time, and especially see how Darryl reacts when he is released.
