Just seeing Negan's face is perfect because you can see that he knows he created a monster that will stop at nothing to remove evil in the darkest ways possible.
He also stated earlier in the episode or season that "if he could do it all over again, he'd have killed them all that night". Just before this moment, he says "you know what I think" and she starts blastin' lol
Well he also knows he can’t take Maggie at her word when it comes to not trying to kill him when she agreed she wouldn’t try to. She gave these peeps her word and then still killed them. That’s what I see when I see Megan’s reaction. “Well shit, I’m not safe around her even if she gives me her word” is exactly how I read his mind there.
I do like how Rick always instills confidence and strength to those in the group. People like Carol wouldn’t believe in themselves to become survivors without rick constantly leading by example.
Carol's plotline was a forced one, the person that just became the most powerful in the universe in 1 moment, no questions asked. They were ready to write off the character in Season 3, until the actress told them they could still do something with the character. That scene where she got trapped in 1 section of the prison, she was supposed to not come back from that, but, surprise, she just did.
@@JemDew yeah but they werent completely wrong. Carol still being around is a good thing for the show now because she’s one of the few from the original group still standing. She’s one of the few reasons I even kept watching because she was a character I was familiar with, totally understand what you’re saying tho. Carol could’ve just as easily died in season 3 and it wouldn’t make a ton of difference for anyone besides Daryl.
She's tough.. and learned from her late husband.. who often beat her up.. she was supposed to live through.. if she or Daryl died.. i would have stopped watching.. i just don't like the way it ended.. without rick and Michonne coming back 🤦🤦
I think Negan seriously regrets his actions and, from the look on his face here, regrets what his actions cost people. He lost his humanity for a spell and i think here he is seeing Maggie could very well lose hers if she's not careful.
he had such a face because he understood that she was violating the agreement that she would release their team alive, well, in the end she killed them, and Negan realized that she also might not keep the agreement about not attacking Negan when he helps them
All true, but what he understood in that moment is that Maggie's word doesn't count for much and that she doesn't let go of a grudge, which is why he left almost immediately afterward. It was either that or stay and be paranoid for the rest of his life, or take her out, so he chose to get out of Dodge before too many people realized he was gone.
Negan's advice was actually "people are a resource" cause he wanted people subservient, not dead. Hence why he usually killed a few people to make a point, never ordering massacres. the Governor's advice was kill em all
Negan disagrees with killing needlessly. He only ever killed tactfully and of absolutely necessary. Its what put him at odds with simon, and i think that disdain is showing here
Tbh this is my most favorite scene in the walking dead series. I mean Negan did give her the hint to Maggie to kill everyone but the way she does the killing kind of shocks Negan himself atleast I could tell that by looking at him.
I really like this episode bc of Maggie taking her chances for survival after everything she’s been through. Negan being the sole reason why she changed & him being there, shows Maggie’s growth. Their hate/neutral partnership whenever they’re together, shows the most badass scenes & how they each develop from each other
Rick was talking about Carol here… And bc he did send her away Carol was able to come back and SAVE THEM ALL!! Remember? Then RiCK felt bad but was grateful he had sent her away for awhile! Rick also owes his life to Carol! They all do!~ 😊
@@TedddddddddddddddddddLMAO THATS WHAT RUINS YOUR INNOCENCE DONT WATCH THE WALKING DEAD THEN😂 or any news related if you want your life to be in a shell or to preserve your precious “innocence” 🙄 jeez get over yourself bud🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
What season is that scene from ? I’ve recently started rewatching episodes from older season to try and remember as I fell behind a long time ago but I do not remember maggie in that scene with Negan
I feel like this is the moment that Negan realized he would never, EVER be fully safe with Maggie, even if she looked him dead in the eyes and promised him life.
Good reason is he had murdered her beloved husband Glenn. She will never forget nor truly forgive him in life and he does fully knows that fact of the matter. This scene backups my own opinion that he knows Maggie will ultimately highly probably be his own downfall because Glenn murdered by him will always be angry brewing in her heart and soul towards himself no matter what he does afterwards. He is murderer of her own beloved husband Glenn that will always be unforgettable , unacceptable and unforgivable.
@@pamjarvis2318 I agree, and I 100% relate to Maggie. When she delivered her final monologue to Negan in the series finale, about never being able to look at him without seeing what he did to Glenn, or hearing him laugh at her pain, and not being able to allow her son to see someone have that kind of hold over her, I felt that so deeply. I do think Negan is a changed man, but I’m like Maggie, I’d never be able to let that experience go, whether I wanted to or not.
@@lawanblaine6584 Act like the way the Saviors behaved was in any way OK like they didn't deserve to be wiped off the face of the earth. There's a certain segment of TWD fandom that is just absolutely gross. Stanning outright bullies when human beings are dying out. Rick was a lot more merciful to them than they deserved.
When Maggie returned in season 10 something inside her had permanently perished. It had already crumbled to pieces after Glenn’s death but there was always that feeling of a better tomorrow, and the fact that Negan was probably the exception not the rule in this world. That dark monologue about what had happened to those women that were mutilated and kept in the attic truly changed her because she realised the people of Alexandria, Hilltop and the Kingdom who were decent, loyal and caring to one another were the exception not the rule in this new collapsed world and she would have to go to extreme lengths to protect them.
Maggie was never timid.. maybe for like 2 episodes when she saw the Well Walker and when Glenn saved her in the pharmacy. Otherwise she’s always been tough
@anthonyesposito9953 Mostly throughout season 2, but she adapted quickly and was a full fighter by season 3. Especially the way she fought into the prison and out of Woodbury
While you are correct, Negan's growth was more thanks to Carl. Without Carl dying and asking for a better world it is unlikely Negan would have turned for the better. He wanted to make sure the kid lived and he fucked up and as a result Carl died. He had to live with that and grow from it.
Facts, if Rick had listened to Shane and let him live, hell maybe even lead the group, lots of people would still be alive. Rick got a lot of people killed.
@jsano2754 You have no idea how things would've gone if Shane was still alive. Rick's decision and also the groups decisions is was gets them killed and also save's them. Shane was legit insane.
@@jsano2754 The problem is not only rick but the rest of the group wasnt ready for this new world yet and how things are in this world. Shane understood how the world will work, that you kill and ask questions later and do what has to be done, but he did the things he did out of egoism, he always wanted the best for himself not for everyone else, rick is different rick sees all the people around him as his responsibility. The group had to lose people had to experience the governor and terminus to make that transformation. It was important they learned the way they did not by shane going crazy. Shane lost his humanity by beeing selfish and jealous and did the things he did because of that. The others learned how to survive in this world but still keeping their humanity party, caring for each other and beeing a group. I dont think shane would last in a big group espacilly if he isnt in charge. I think him and Lori and Carl would've going their own ways at some point if Rick wasnt there, and maybe experience the same destiny like Morales did. You cant survive in this world a long time unless you are Michonne or in a group
@@mequanaNeither does negan deep down, he knows what had to be done, the world of the dead hasn't got place for sympathy all just about survival and he knew that
Negan told her in the previous episode that knowing what he knew how, he should’ve killed all of them that first night. for better or worse, Maggie knew what she was doing.
This scene made me rewatch twd just to see the character development and I was so happy the later seasons a little slow but this was a highlight for me.
Negans face told me two things even though I'm not on this season 1. What she has become because of him 2. He didn't know that she had this side to her Or that ricks group really weren't cowards the whole time
@@Blueraspvr😂 I mean, if you like these two scenes, then that’s up to you, but calling it the hardest edit of her is not the smartest. These are literally just two different scenes mashed together. If you take all of her best moments, put transitions, cuts, cool voice overs of her best lines and stuff like that then yeah it might be the best edit
She took Negans words to heart about wiping her and ricks group out if he had a second chance to do it all over again as she sees the threat they could be to her and her people if they leave and reform there group
Rick and Maggie's brotherhood is really underrated! People seems to forget how Rick respects her family especially Herschel. And Maggie from the start knows how to fight. Remember she's a good aim and he helped Rick to save Daryl and Merle in Woodbury.
I absolutely LOVE this series I enjoyed every bit of it. They told the story so well bringing in many different characters who have many different personalities. I even cried on many parts of this series bc of how emotional it can be. Big props to the producers, actors etc.
@@AmyZonkersHow was Rick the reason they lost the prison? They defeated the Governor in his first attempt, and then the man ran off for months. Literally everybody except Michone assumed the Governor was dead. How was Rick supposed to stop him when he came back months later with an entire group, while also being armed with a tank?
@@fuckoffgoogle9747 The only reason the Governor even knew about the prison was because Rick led an invasion of Woodbury. The war with the Saviors was also started by Rick. His violent and aggressive approach led to violent responses and almost everyone dying.
@@JesseVenturaHatI agree a leader like the governor would make decisions that were meant to agitate and rile anyone not dedicated to his way. Daryl, Rick, Micchone, Glenn, Carol etc…. He would’ve eventually weeded them out because they weren’t gonna be scared into submission. Period. There’s reasons the people who spent time with Rick respect him or his decisions as a leader.
Can I JUST weirdly say I love the way she walks. She reminds me so much of my younger sister. She walks so innocent but determined; unlike how I've seen any actor or celebrity walk ANYWHERE.
Maggie can be annoying sometimes with Negan, but this was a badass scene and it probably impressed Negan despite him losing trust in her word to not hurt him the same.
I think in that moment Negan saw himself in Maggie and really truly thought of the effect he had on others. Also when she swung the scythe that reminded me so much of Negan and his bat
This was after a conversation the two of them had before this where Negan told Maggie that he would have killed everyone in the lineup if he could do things differently. This was a group of people that killed the community Maggie and Little Hershel were living with. She ended up taking Negan's words to heart and decided to break a peace deal they just made in this scene and doing what he wished he could have done.
@codyhess4161 no the show didn’t go that woke. And she didn’t lead the show. It was daryl, carol, neagen, and Maggie. Not just Maggie. There is nothing wrong with having a strong female character. It’s not woke.
@codyhess4161 no it’s not. You don’t need to be offended by a women being a leader. Women are capable to lead. Maggie went through a lot and that made her strong. I do believe majority of men are stronger physically then majority of women but that doesn’t mean Maggie as a women Isn’t fit to be a leader. And why are you talking about unrealistic when the show is fictional. It’s unrealistic to have a zombie apocalypse.🙄
I remember feeling the goosebumps when Maggie gets up in that scene. That, combined with the music and the look on both Daryl and Negan's face, I knew this would be the viewer's rewarding moment.
Maggie does different things. She has no problem killing or turning away people she doesn't give a shit about, but she feels the hardest when she's betrayed by someone she loves. She understands justice, but her heart was raised with love.
I loved how Maggie looked at Negan and he said “ you know what I’d do” just before she killed Carter. I loved how Maggie became a savage💯💯 Rick knew she had it in her and so did Negan!
Negan was in his prime, and he had it all. He underestimated Alexandria and Rick, causing him to lose his power. Maggie didn't want to make the same mistake.
Honestly they were wrong to send carol away. But i hope that we can see more alone time of carol in the city in her new series. That was probably my favourite part of the show where it shows carol in the city by herself after being expelled from the prison.
I think the thing about Maggie is that she lost so much. Her step brother, her mother, her friends from the farm, her father, her sister, her husband and several other close friends and non blood family. Yet somehow...she always had more to lose. The hilltop, her community, and most importantly her son. No matter how much she's lost, she always had more. And that's what made her harder than probably anybody else on the show.
