4 Most Hateable Side Antagonists in The Walking Dead
These minor villains were way worse than Negan.
In The Walking Dead, the major baddies like the Governor and Negan actually have reasons for their actions and have gone through some rough stuff. That's why sometimes we end up liking them.
But what about those minor antagonists, the ones that aren't big and bad enough to warrant a full season of hatred, but they still get under our skin? We are about to remember the worst of them.
Pete Anderson
Pete Anderson seemed like a regular suburban dad when we first got to Alexandria. But beneath the façade of a life-saving surgeon lurked an abusive, controlling man who terrorized his family. His abusive behavior wasn't just harmful to his family; it was toxic for the whole community.
We all knew that this guy had to go, especially when he got confrontational with Sure enough, Pete's death came at the hands of Rick in a dramatic face-off.
Martin
Martin from Terminus had a philosophy of "You're either the butcher or the cattle" that was beyond twisted. The most bizarre thing he did was to threaten an infant child, baby Judith. It showed us that this guy had no moral compass whatsoever.
When Tyreese ultimately took care of him, it felt like justice was served, even if it was a harsh reminder of the decisions that good characters had to make in a bad world.
Gregory
Gregory was a different type of evil. He was cunning, manipulative, and willing to throw anyone under the bus to save himself. His brand of evil was more subtle but equally infuriating. What made him even more unbearable was his cowardice.
While other leaders like Rick and Maggie were out risking their lives for their communities, Gregory was holed up in his office, plotting his next treacherous move.
Jared
Jared was just downright nasty. He was the guy you loved to hate every time he showed up on screen. As a member of the Saviors, he took glee in causing pain and suffering to others. His killing of young Benjamin was both senseless and heart-wrenching.
And who could forget that smug grin? It's like he enjoyed being a terrible human being. When he finally got what was coming to him, it was one of those moments where you felt satisfaction to see a character as wicked as Jared get his just desserts.
