Negan as the Ultimate Dad? Carl’s Expression Says It All!

If you’ve ever imagined Negan as a cheerful dad teaching his son how to cook, these pictures might just be proof that it could have worked—well, almost! The usually ruthless leader of the Saviors, known for his brutal ways and unfiltered charisma, suddenly looks like he belongs in a wholesome family cooking show. With an apron on and a wooden spoon in hand, he’s all smiles, playfully engaging in what seems like a fun father-son bonding moment.

But then there’s Carl. Oh, Carl. His face tells an entirely different story. The rolling pin in his hand suggests he’s barely tolerating this unexpected lesson, and his unimpressed glare (enhanced by his battle-worn eye) screams, “Are you serious right now?”

Negan, completely oblivious to Carl’s lack of enthusiasm, continues to taste-test like a proud dad—perhaps convinced that this is his chance to win over Rick’s son through the universal language of food. Is this an alternate reality where Negan ditches Lucille for a spatula? Or is it just another day of his twisted mind games?

Either way, we can’t stop laughing at this oddly domestic scene. What do you think—Negan as a dad figure, yay or nay?
