"Glenn was beautiful." - MAGGIE'S MONOLOGUE ANSWER TO NEGAN'S APOLOGY THE WALKING DEAD FINAL 11x24

[@jhoannaacasio1750]

When Maggie says "Glen was beautiful, I'll never love anyone like that again," my heart broke for her. To find a soul mate and love someone is truly a blessing, and maybe even rare these days, and to lose them in such a tragic and heartless way is soul crushing.

[@StsFiveOneLima]

Yes, well, also, the Negan as a Maggie sycophant is lame plot.

At least most people dont lose their soul mate from a baseball bat bashing their head in. That would be especially traumatic.

It's not as simple as he killed Glenn. It wasn't a gun shot to the head or a stab in the heart. Negan brutalised him in front of his wife and mocked him. Maggie would always remember his death but her last image of Glenn was his eye popped out of his head and meanwhile Negan cracked jokes.

[@Infamous-ivy]

I will never forgive him for what he did to Glenn he turned his head into mash potatoes right infront is pregnant wife while she was balling her eyes and making jokes and laughing and I’m glad Maggie didn’t either the amount pain she is in struggling to live without him and constantly missing him is so sad the scenes in the spin off her at the dinner scene when she was gonna put his picture on the table but ended up choosing not too And the scene where she was looking at his picture crying absolutely broke my heart

[@1tim3_JB]

Exactly he made glen’s death so brutal can you imagine the type of pain Glenn was feeling. It wasn’t an easy death and he was talking so much while Glenn was suffering. It took him a full 20 seconds before he decided to put Glenn out of his misery.

Deserves? Rick and his people attacked Negan's people 1st in the show unlike the comic. Comic Negan was correct how it went, but show Negan could argue, correctly, that he was defending himself and his people from Rick slaughtering them in their sleep, again.

With their attitudes Im a bit surprised they werent always trying to kill him for a while there like Maggie wanted to.

[@kevinmccalister4602]

@JJ-zf8ck I agree with you completely they just kind of all vanished never to be seen again except a mention by Frankie that she and some other s-x slaves I mean "wives" moved into Oceanside because they were disgusted that Rick kept that monster in the basement. @absoluteterror9098. Everyone was always trying to kill Negan all the time and he just refused to die because plot armor kept him around for the whisperers stuff as a straight man to contrast Beta and Alpha. This lead Negan to believing he was invincible and thus could do anything he wanted so he did. When he kept not dying despite abusing/enslaving everyone and countless assassination attempts people started worshiping him as a God. As for the cult it makes sense if that it formed. IRL if you saw someone survive dozens of assassination attempts and they just kept walking away without a scratch why not believe that something divine is protecting them? Answer is that in this universe a divine being (the writers) are literally watching out for Negan and protecting him from the consequences of his actions.

I had stopped watching the show after Glenn’s death, but it’s nice and poetic seeing this scene after all the seasons I’ve missed, and to see the utter remorse on Negan’s face. It’s cool to know that he apparently had a redemption arc

[@RaeneYT]

Same. I watched Walking Dead season 1 when it dropped initially and got into it because of Rick and Glenn. But after hearing he died, I'm scared to come back to it. But knowing they followed through with his death and made it worth it for the story is great.

[@cagneybillingsley2165]

[@samdaley8484]

Same. I picked it back up around Season 9 when they had a huge time jump (around 8-ish years), and enjoyed it a lot. But it's always been really interesting to me that Glenn was so beloved that his death genuinely ruined the show for me, and so many others. Other characters in the Walking Dead, other brutal shows like Game of Thrones, no character death has had an effect on me like that. Like Maggie said, Glenn was beautiful :(

I just don’t understand anyone quitting the show whatsoever?? Why?? It was a brilliant show and every Season was great in different ways, and yes while some of the Writing was better in some episodes, that’s always the way with ANY long running TV show!! But at the end of the day, it’s all about Entertainment, and that’s what the Walking Dead did in bucket loads. But to get so obsessive about any TV show in general can’t be a good thing really I think? Just appreciate the show for what it was/ is, a Solid piece of Entertainment and that’s it!!

[@nora2959]

This scene is beautiful. I love the overwhelming emotions they both showcased. It truly was an outstanding performance from both actors because subtle actions like that are very hard to portray. Personally, I'm glad she didn't forgive him because this is a dark world they live in and what he did is too severe. But I love how they both showed acceptance of the situation and also understanding. The gentle heaviness that filled the atmosphere was there to remind us how much we all loved Glenn and how Negan took that from us. But in a way, the conflict integrated within because it's hard to not feel a tinge of sympathy for him since he's clearly trying to redeem himself and try to prove that he wants to be better. This is why, to this day, The Walking Dead is still my favorite series.

[@templecreations2351]

Its commendable that he is remorseful but it is too little too late, he has tainted his soul beyond repair. The only hail mary he could hope for true redemption would be to sacrifice himself for Maggie in the spinoff, that would redeem him, but the price is indeed ultimate. I can see it now, laying there dying having saved Maggie, as she tells him she finally forgives him. That would be a worthy arc.

Negan's story isn't one of redemption. It's of repentance and repenting for the horrific things he has done. He knows that he is beyond redemption and he knows his soul is beyond saving. But the least he can do is try to make things better for others with whatever time he has left. It's very similar to Endeavor's story from My Hero Academia. He knows he will never be forgiven for putting his family through what he did. But the least he can do is acknowledge his mistakes and own up to them. Negan is very similar.

The last time Rick spoke with negan there was still so much tension and hatred towards each other so for Rick to find out just how much negan has changed and how he saved Hershel and Judith could create some powerful dialogue. Eventually they would bring up Carl and it would be very heartwarming to see them connect like that. I know it’s far fetched, but a great idea for a final shot in the series would be like the dream sequence in s7e01.

And most importantly how much Negan enjoyed not killing but MAMING Glenn, bashing his head in until he was a pile of meat and bones while his pregnant wife watched and Negan laughed. Thats what haunts Maggie and theres no justification for it.

@@bricemorgan6952 He just sucks as a good guy, and there is no way Im going to feel sorry for him. That’s like felling sorry for Freddy Krueger just because he “found Jesus”. Negan was such an iconic villain just to be turned now into a goodie two shoes. 👿😇 Don’t forget that there is a different between closing your heart for survival and closing your heart with sadistic methods in order to survive. Besides, he has done sooo much to turn back and sooo much to go on. 😔 I know that the series is trying to teach us how to forgive and forget (even those who we might think that don’t deserve it). But my problem is not with forgiveness (I know about forgiveness), my problem is that Negan will no longer be so well written as he once was. As for his justified reason for his changing, I cannot empathize with him. One thing is to forgive and forget, other thing is to get along with that person. 👎

Maybe ricks opinion has changed since the prison, but when he said, “we can all come back, we’re not too far gone” definitely applies to negan. Mans turned into a straight wasteland raider leader. But so much has happened, I think I can accept him coming full circle (even saw a glimpse when he surrendered to Rick in all out war before getting the throaty knifey lol) I’d still be okay with him dying, but I don’t want to see him get splattered like I used to.

[@unfortunatecircumstances8870]

Nobody in the group has demonstrated the savagery or evil that Negan has. I can't ever see him doing more good than bad, but that's why he's an interesting and complex character. Is redemption possible for him? Does he even deserve it? Maybe. It's up to each individual to decide that. Personally, I think the only way he can redeem himself is if he gave his life for Maggie or her son. He denied Glenn seeing his boy grow up, Negan shouldn't get that privilege while also being "redeemed." The moment you become a good person is the moment you're fully subject to the cruelties of this world.

[@dragonballsuper1519]

They denied us the closure of Negan’s death at the hands of Rick. Yes, Jeffrey is a phenomenal actor but allowing him to live went against the narrative of the show, and Rick’s repeated promise “I’m going to kill you, not today, maybe not tomorrow” which spooked the hell out of Negan yet it never happened. If they wanted more of Jeffrey then they should have made a spin-off of Negan’s rise to power. The death of Carl was also unnecessary, and a spin-off of him as an adult exploring the wider new world would have been cool, especially if down the line he put on a policeman’s uniform like his dad before the apocalypse.

I understand that hershel being taken by the croat brought this pain back for maggie but I really wish this scene was the beginning of a friendship or at least maggie not hating negan so much in dead city. their dynamic is great and my absolute favorite scenes were when they were opening up to each other. I never thought I'd ever say this because I genuinely despised negan more than anyone in the earlier seasons but I feel like they have the potential to be friends even though maggie will never be able to fully forgive him. it seems like it might go in that direction so I'm hopeful that she'll at least get the closure she needs

I don’t wanna start an argument here but how many shows try to redeem people that have committed mass murder? The main cast of the show have killed countless people, many shows have people that have done unthinkable things be redeemed or at least try to be. The Walking Dead is a fictional show, Negan being a better person now makes for more enjoyable television, it doesn’t need to be 100% realistic, it’s a show about Zombies. Watching this fictional character try and be better is entertaining.

[@anthonyspitery6332]

I still think the biggest mistake this show made was setting up a premise for the governor as redeemable, yet Neagan as irredeemable. The governor was the family man with love for his daughter, who cared about people yet let his own pride and joy in killing to reap massive rewards and spoils of raids to corrupt him-and unable to find a way back. Seems to me like it is more possible for him to find his old self rather than a sadistic man who literally psychologically breaks everyone for his control over them in a structure that promotes their only way to exist is to serve him. Why in the actual fuck would Neagan find some revelation or change if heart for his actions over the years is still kind of beyond me.

[@sisseholm4869]

What he did was less fucked up and I think the fact that he never changed is what made the other characters realise not everybody deserves forgiveness

Did you see all the thugs and hoodlums Negan had to manage? Phillip had a tame population by comparison and *still* went all egotistical Jim Jones on them. Negan's group was a lot larger and a hell of a lot more dangerous. Phillip was demonstrably crazy. I think his daughter turning so soon after he lost his wife broke him. Negan had the one loss and also time to say goodbye. And I think he was stronger in some ways to start with.
