Spoiler: The other thing that's been bugging me is that it was clear at the end of the last season that Lydia has the effortless ability to "walk with the dead" as a whisperer, and even Negan had learned it relatively quickly (I think in the space of a few months?). Most characters have to use the "guts trick" which we know they don't use often because of the risk (like poor Gabe lol) ... but A) they haven't thought to have them teach this skill to others and B) we've now seen both of them encounter walkers and NOT use that skill . Instead of Lydia fighting the large group in the warehouse head on like the others, they should have had her "fade back" into the walkers and start taking them out stealthily from the back... like her "special ability" if she was a game character or something... but also why couldn't Negan do the same in the tunnels? In theory, neither of those characters should be at risk from walkers, we've seen them walking with hundreds of them. . Maybe Negan does need to be "smelly" to do it. But it was made pretty clear that it's easy-peasy for Lydia. |

Yeah but Maggie has a genuine reason to hate Negan, he did club her husband to death in front of her, he should be trying to make that up and feel guilty about it, enough to save her imo

The issue is that realistically none of those reasons would matter to Maggie... there's no way she'd let it go even if in her time away she'd changed so much that she was 100% on-board with his reasoning. It wouldn't matter because it was so personal and that's just how people are... when it's your own family objectivity goes out the window. |

Spoiler: Yeah exactly, Eskiel and his crew used to wear armour but they kind gave that up.........why? Maybe the "walking amongst the dead" only works if they haven't seen you run around like a live person first?

Hmmm I guess maybe they have some sort of short-term memory, we'll go with that . To be fair, the Whisperererers did a couple of times have to kill "Guardians" who came into the camp and started attacking, so that sort of makes sense, as otherwise they could all just go into "zombiemode" and not be at risk so they wouldn't have had to kill the walkers.

i now feel differently how my opinion is like towards the walkers (thx to telltale final season, my moment as a ''whisperer'' in the shed, that indeed being between walkers and watching them listen to music is very nice to see) they aren't just ''monsters''

The writing trying to make Maggie seem like the bad guy in this is simply ridiculous and I hate to say it, but it's also immoral. Also what do the writers want from Negan? First he is a serial killer + serial rapist, then he gets slowly redeemed into the group, now he leaves Maggie to die. Why doesn't his writing ever make sense? It reminds me of Spike from Buffy all over again, only even more stupid with Negan which is quite the achievement.

Maggie giving Negan a gun to help out against the walkers
@Mock did she die? umm no Maggie is a resourceful, skilled woman, Negan knows that, and if i were in Negan's position there i would've done the same, i mean you don't go saving someone who wants you dead also The Reapers, they weren't in the comics, sooo they for the first time steered clear from those in this final season from the extra episodes of season 10, we already know their leader is a man named ''Pope'' what we know more is they run Meridian now, formerly run by Maggie and her group and Pope has marked Maggie for death, so i think she has done something bad to him to deserve that death sentence only my theory of course |

As it is, I think they are potentially setting up a situation where Maggie accepts that Negan "has changed". I don't actually think that's bad writing of NEGAN, though, he was locked up for the best part of a decade and it's very possible that he has genuinely changed... but it is bad writing of Maggie - who would literally be the one character who realistically would never accept him, no matter the circumstances. |

Negan was broken at first, after the death of his wife, that was what led him to become leader of Saviors i think the first one who gotten through to his real side, must've been Carl, since that letter he was given by him, he really liked that |

And you could then argue that in his years locked up, he realised that he had it wrong. That makes sense in terms of his plotline with The Whisperers, too. I think he basically sees himself mirrored in Alpha, he knows that her ideas and methods are utterly crazy, but he can see that SHE genuinely believes it's "right". He takes so long to kill her because he hopes he can bring her round to doing things differently and she can change, too. But then after Hilltop and the conversation that follows, he realises that it's never going to happen so he has to go ahead with the origina plan and kill her. See I honestly don't think negan is a badly written character - there are a few minor points that cause trouble and could easily have been left out. One is his "wives". They go to great lengths to suggest that Negan is not "a rapist", he says as much himself, that he hates anyone who would do that, and kills one of his men for attempting to attack Sasha. But then he has his group of wives who he claims are all "there voluntarily" because they're never literally forced . That is not how consent works, TWD writers, it's made abundantly clear that these women have been coerced into the "job" of being his wives and thus it is absolutely rape when he has sex with them. I mean FFS, Sherry only agreed to marry him to save her own actual husband's life. They could have left the Harem o' Wives out completely - OR had it be a group who had genuinely pretended they wanted to be with him in order to live more comfortably (you could even have them still secretly hating him and plotting to kill him, with him oblivious and thinking they're genuinely happy). The other point isthe "second kill" (Glenn). I think it was done for shock value, which is the worst part really. But it makes all of the stuff happening now harder to accept. IMO even if Glenn had to go and Maggie had to be widowed, a "cleaner" way to do it would have been to have him kill Abraham like what happens, then instead of Darly jumping up (which gets Glenn killed) just have it be Glenn that jumps up and attacks Negan, and one of the other Saviours shoots & kills him when he tries. You have mainly the same effect but without it actually being Negan that killed Glenn, making it MUCH more likely that Maggie - who would still blame him - could come around. As it stands, it just doesn't make sense. Negan wouldn't even be on this mission with them, realistically. Even if she begrudgingly accepted that he's being allowed to live free in Alexandria... he'd be cooling his heels helping out with wall repairs, not tagging along on a vital mission. "He's the only one who knows the city" is a crappy excuse. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 02-09-2021 at 10:09 AM. |

those kills, well it must've felt good to smash someone's brains in (member of Rick's little pathetic group) hope the Reapers will go for one shocking death too, maybe that pathetic Gabriel bitch already think Pope will be soooo ICONIC, just based on what he looks like ooh maybe Stephanie's head on a stake, to completely break poor little wimp Eugene and that Stephanie ''miss four eyes'' i do not trust either, commonwealth bunch of elitist morons who not belong in the current apocalyptic world with their old ways |

it just wouldn't surprise me if the reapers aren't the villains, since branding them as the ''villains'' pre-season just seems a bit too boring to give that away
wouldn't surprise me if it was other way around and commonwealth being the bad guys (and those corpses hanging there on trees by reapers, being commonwealth soldiers) why else do you think commonwealth wants to know Eugene's group their location |

also the reapers kill people, WOW WOW
the only crime they commit is killing people to keep surviving as if nobody else had done that either ''killing one in order to save many is part of survival'' its just how that sort of world works commonwealth comes across to me as wanting to remain in the old ways but comes across like a dictatorship with those strict rules of quarantaine i do not trust that |
