* AdaptationalVillainy: Surprisingly. In the comics, Negan says that they try to avoid killing other survivors unless they need to make an example because they're no use to them dead. On the show, they apparently have a custom of killing one member of every group they come into contact with right off the bat. Further, the comic version of the Saviors at least keep the areas surrounding their vassal states clear of walkers in exchange for their exorbitant tribute. On the TV show, they make no such pretense and are more up front about the fact that they're demanding protection money.
