I think overemphasising his brutality runs the risk of missing a major part of the character in the comics - the fact that, while he clearly enjoys violence and has a very low standard for what requires a violent response, he actually seems to be trying to avoid it whenever possible (which is highlighted in his very first appearance - he makes it clear that a major part of why he brutally murders one of Rick's group is actually to warn them off trying anything further, and thus limit the number of deaths in both groups overall). And to attempt to portray him as creepy further sounds like a real mischaracterisation - Negan in the comics is scary specifically because of how blunt and open he is about everything, and how genuinely warm and friendly he can sometimes be (for example, he's genuinely sorry when he makes Carl cry by insulting his eye wound). Based on what I've seen of the rest of the show, I can't say I'm surprised if they're just doing him as a straight bad guy, but it's still a little disappointing.
Cutting things like his attempted comforting of Carl and his quick execution of the attempted rapist Savior
