The Walking Dead could still do right by Jesus by adding some cool moments for him via flashbacks, although since the character would not be living in the present, those moments may feel bittersweet to fans.

Perhaps they can find solace in the fact that Payne was largely happy with how he went out, as he told CinemaBlend he felt he created a “moment.”
