The Walking Dead fans must be very furious right now, and it's no wonder. After all, when it comes to Negan and Maggie, we know that Meggie's motives for hating Negan are no small feat. Not least because it's about the man who killed Maggie's husband, but when it comes to survival, you must unite even the worst enemy in some cases. Therefore, being a post-apocalyptic world, it is necessary to do some things that are not to be liked, which is the case.
"The only way this will work is if we trust each other," says Negan when left alone with Maggie in a preview of the next episode of The Walking Dead. “Why would I trust you?” asks Maggie about her husband's killer who left her behind to die to start season 11. After escaping walker-infested subway tunnels and being hunted by the Reapers on her way to Meridian, now the last hope for survival of Alexandria, Negan and Maggie must work together as they regroup without the injured Alden left behind.
Negan and Maggie in The Walking Dead
As they walk toward a stash of supplies in Arbor Hills, Negan answers Maggie's question, "Because you want to stay alive, just like I do." If she stays alive, Maggie retorts, “It will be in spite of you. Not because of you.”
Negan asks why Maggie hasn't put him down yet. Before she can respond, Maggie throws a knife at an oncoming walker. “I ask myself that question every day.”
“Maggie hates Negan, that's it. Maggie wants him dead. Unfortunately for her, the only way out, the only way to survive certain situations is to allow Negan to participate. It's as simple as that," Morgan said of the Maggie-Negan team on Talking Dead." What it is, is more or less what it is. She hates him, but she needs him. “
temporary truce
Maggie and Negan formed a temporary truce by trusting him with a gun in "Acheron: Part 2", which he returned after helping Daryl and the group escape the zombie-filled subway tunnels beneath DC. In order to kill Negan despite having killed Glenn, Cohan told the AMC Blog: “I feel like she's trying to put the needs of the many before the needs of the few… slowly being herself. And it's not her needs per se, but more her hopes of avoiding him because he's either dead or he's just not around anymore," Cohan explained.
Maggie keeps her human and rational side above her emotions.
“I think she's making a deal with the devil because so much is brought to her. It involves them delving into the depths of their own souls in a million ways... She keeps Negan alive because she has to keep the part of herself alive that doesn't kill people. That part of her that doesn't indulge in that brutal kill-or-be-been attitude. “
“Talvez ele tenha algo a oferecer, e talvez ela não saiba que esperança está por vir”, continuou Cohan. “Ela diz a ele: ‘A mulher que saiu daqui não é aquela que está diante de você agora’. Ela não diz isso, mas eu realmente acho que ela está pensando. Eu realmente espero que ela não tenha morrido completamente.
I have to try to do things that will bring her back — and one of those things is not killing you. I'm not going to let you make me that person. I'm not going to let you take that away from me. You insult my husband, but I'm not going to become that person.' So it's very dark, but it's hopeful in its own weird way.”
