So Simon is gone :( damn he was a cool character and he will be missed.
One thing I wanted to talk about.... was he a better leader than Negan? From our point of view I think some of us would agree that Simon had better leadership skills than Negan.... Like Negan claims people are a resource (which is true) but look at his group! He has an army of nearly 500 people proably more! Like how many people does he want? Theres gotta be a limit right? Before encountering Rick's group the Saviors are at their prime and they are hands down the most powerful group withing 1000 miles! Yet even after groups he extorts from attempt to fight back all he does is punish one and leave the others be and expects them to continue working for him.... like this has done nothing but cause trouble and rebellions and has cost him a majority of his soldiers!
Simon on the other hand seemed more concerened about protecting his people and wants the Saviors to live without the threat of multiple groups banding together and starting a war.... he was like the Govermor.. both use their soldiers to wipe out any potential threat to their safety and way of life and go on. Like he killed the Library surviors, the male oceanside surviors and the Scavengers for the simple reason that hhey betrayed the Saviors and wanted to kill them all... but he took no second chances and enusred that they would never be a threat to the Saviors again.... plus Simon was clearyl pissed off at Negan's BS of giving second chances...
Yes Simon was a bloodthirst, psycotic mass murderer but in the apocuylpse if you don't destroy threats than peopple will die! he didn't want to offer second chances, he wanted to destroy people that were a legitimate threat to the Saviors but was shut down by Negan.....
So wrapping up I think Simon is a better leader than Negan.... if you cause harm to his people then he will do all in his power to destroy you back... this is EXACTLY was Rick does!!!! Do you see him giving groups second chances? No!
Thoughts???
