Walking Dead fans grossed out by sex scene that featured one character wearing mask of rotting flesh

The Walking Dead fans have said they are ‘traumatized’ and felt sick after the mid-season premiere Sunday showed characters having sex while one was wearing a mask made of rotting flesh.

The season 10 episode, titled Squeeze, featured The Whisperers’ leader Alpha [Samantha Morton] getting close to her captive Negan [Jeffrey Dean Morgan] after he helped her pinpoint Gamma as a spy inside her camp.

But the scene has led to some viewers claiming the popular AMC network ‘show should have ended years ago’.

‘You’re a crass man,’ Alpha tells Negan in the forest scene. ‘I reckoned you might appreciate a crass reward.’ 

Negan responds: ‘Are you just gonna leave that mask on?’

A Twitter user posted: ‘That Negan Alpha scene has me all kinds of traumatized’

But after Alpha replies, ‘Does my true skin disturb you?’ Negan surprisingly grins: ‘Not at all. Weirdly, the opposite.’

Viewers were disgusted after he kissed her and the camera cut away leaving little doubt about what happened next. 

One Twitter user said they were ‘literally gagging’ at the scene on the AMC show. 

Another said it ‘has me all kinds of traumatized’ one social media user said the ‘show should have ended years ago’, adding ‘wtf is this?’. 

‘I did not need to see that Negan and Alpha scene,’ another viewer agreed.

A funny Twitter post showed someone kicking their TV over in a joke reference to their reaction after watching the clip.

Some viewers said it was a scene no one wanted to see as expressed disgust at the clip

Earlier in the episode, viewers were sure Alpha would kill Negan after she made him strip in the woods and appeared to get her gun ready to shoot.

Even as they begin kissing it’s still unclear whether Alpha – who is known for ripping the heads off her victims – will kill him. 

At one point Negan asks: ‘Wait, wait. This isn’t some sort of uh, praying mantis situation, is it? You cut off my head afterwards?’

When Alpha doesn’t answer, Negan shocks again as she responds: ‘Ah, you know what? It’s been a long time. I reckon I will take my chances.’ 

Michael Satrazemis, who directed the episode, explained the significance of the scene was to keep viewers guessing.   

‘I was really, really, really excited to shoot it. And I knew that both of them were gonna sell it,’  Satrazemis told the Huffington Post. 

‘Jeffrey breaking even before he turns around, him breaking down was just such an amazing performance, and it was important to have Samantha as she’s walking away, right before she pivots, the last thing you see before the cut is her putting her hand on that gun, and you’re sure he’s going down. You’re sure this is the end. 

‘And that was the most important point to build it to so you had the contrast for when he turned around. It was really important to sell that he was walking to his death to really blow your mind when he turns around and finds that it’s quite the opposite.’

Satrazemis said the ‘dialogue in the scene is mind-blowing’ and helps create the twists and turns amid moments of suspense. 

‘She makes him turn around and then undress and you are sure. … It was her clean point of view slowly creeping closer to cut his head off because that’s what you assume is going to happen,’ he added.

Despite directing the episode, much like viewers, Satrazamis cannot related to Negan.

‘I would’ve definitely wanted to know what’s up with the rotting mask,’ Satrazamis admitted. 

‘What is this decaying already dead person you’re wearing on your face, but, like Negan said, this is kind of doing it for him. I can’t get into the head of Negan. It’s unrelatable.’
