For nearly a decade, The Walking Dead franchise has been haunted by one of its most enduring and emotionally charged conflicts—Maggie’s hatred for Negan. Ever since Negan brutally murdered Glenn in The Walking Dead Season 7 premiere, Maggie’s journey has been defined by grief, anger, and a relentless struggle to reconcile her personal loss with the post-apocalyptic world’s ever-changing morality. While this vendetta was once a compelling source of tension, it has now reached a point where it feels like a repetitive cycle, preventing both characters—and the franchise itself—from moving forward.
