They weren't buds but they could coexist, in close proximity… but then Dead City picks up a couple years later and just trashes that so it can run us through a repeat of this redemption arc. My entry to the March 2016 challenge at the Cartographers Guild, make an underground map. Remember, we left these two at an "okay" place when Maggie offered Negan, along with his wife and unborn child, a place at Hilltop. Whatever the reason, it’s Dead City’s method for not wasting time and space with flat, thin characters. One can speculate if Dead City’s step backwards in Maggie and Negan’s relationship is designed to appease lapsed fans who may have skipped Walking Dead's eleventh season, or because it's presumed that the only interesting dynamic for these two characters is for them to be at each other's' throats until all is forgiven again. Not much new ground is covered here there are newer, better zombie shows on the block now, and they fill their episodes with denser, more effective material. Folks who feel the franchise’s best years are behind it, and that the latter half of The Walking Dead's tenure was a massive space-waster? Proceed with caution. Maggie and Negan fans, specifically? This was designed for you. Dead City offers up better material than both previous shows have given us in a couple years, but it also stumbles off the blocks by undoing much of the key emotional work these two characters did over the course of Walking Dead's final season.ĭead City is a soft recommendation. They team up for a six-episode mission in Manhattan, which one can imagine, now 15(ish?) years into the saga’s zompocalypse, is in less-than-ideal shape. With The Walking Dead wrapped up and Fear the Walking Dead closing up shop, the franchise continues with Dead City, featuring strange bedfellows Maggie and Negan.
