the moment can have the same impact from the comics. He is one of the most beloved characters for non comic readers. Having him go out like that will be a gut punch. Just like it was when we read it in the comic.
I do hope they keep the "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" part from the comic. If he kills Darryl just cuz he heard he's the one that blew up his boys that would be wack. It has to really seems random to truly hurt.
