Evil, but intriguing.
So whats Simons deal?
We went to actor Steven Ogg to ask him that and more and ended up talking about drummers.

I think 7 set up, and 8 executes.
Its a different pace, and theres definitely more st going down.
I think its more than pee-pee pants city now.
Its increased from peeing.
Theyve moved on to other bowel movements.
Wheres Simons head as we get into All-Out War here?Simon is out there.
Hes the right-hand man thats never around, and I think thats because theres so much to do.
Theres so much st out there.
So season 8, we get to see what all that st is thats going on.
That should be revealed a little more as to what exactly Simon is up to.
Simon has flashes of Negan in him.
He seems a bit unpredictable.
But Simons not a copycat.
He has the ability to be a leader.
Ive been comparing him to like the drummer in a band.
Hes not leading because he cant lead.
Theres a guy, hes in the background, doing his job.
He just prefers to be the drummer for now.
I love backstory when they show you what makes this person behave this way.
Because I think certainly everyone in the world is duplicitous, right?
So how much of the bully peacocking is an act?
How much is it really him?
I was bullied growing up, and you always wonder, like, who are they at home?
Is this how they behave all the time?
Bullying comes from an insecure place.
You dont feel good enough, so you have to put other people down to feel better.
So I think it will be interesting to see how Simon reacts once someone comes back at him.
It will be interesting to see his reaction, how the peacock responds.
Could be with fire and brimstone.
