User blog comment:VillainNut/PE Proposal: Simon from The Walking Dead/@comment-14660436-20200116052140

Yes from me. Simon easily makes the cut with his huge body count alone, having wiped out at least three communities (Oceanside, the library and junkyard) and planned to slaughter three more communities in the process (Alexandra, Hilltop and the Kingdom) by infecting survivors and letting the reanimated wounded devour the rest. He even killed tons of males, adolescent children included, during the Oceanside massacre as an immensely cruel punishment for the community not abiding by the Saviors' rules and beat a man nearly to death and hung him in front of Rick's group to threaten them. The icing on the cake as that he did all of these things against Negan's orders, showing that he has little loyalty towards him, further emphasized when he tries to launch a coup against his leader.

Unlike the Governor before him, Simon has no Freudian excuses or redeeming qualities to back up his crimes, and whatever mitigating factors he had left were all subverted: his relationship with Gregory was just keeping him under his thumb and discarded him once he found out how useless he truly was to him, and firing upon the Saviors taken hostage by Maggie with walker blood-coated arrows reveals that he doesn't really care about his own men at all.

It only took the TV show 8 years to finally bring out a character as awful and irredeemable as Simon.
