Negan speaks Glenn’s name to Maggie for the first time since he brutally killed him in front of her.
When calling Maggie out for likely wanting to kill him, Negan gives a speech ending on a surprising sentence.
“I am not going to let you drag me through the mud, filth, and slime to put me down like a dog,” Negan said, before shocking adding, “Like Glenn was.”
Negan, of course, killed Glenn on the season seven premiere, by brutally taking a baseball bat to his head. The scene is straight out of the comic.
Fans may have been taken aback by Negan’s mention of Glenn because it never seemed like Negan would ever broach the fact that he killed her husband to her face after a jail scene the two shared on season nine.
Similarly, it never seemed like the show really wanted to return and have a conversation about this moment between Maggie and Negan since many people stopped watching the show after Glenn’s death.
On “Talking Dead,” Jeffrey Dean Morgan said he called Kang up originally voicing concerns about that scene. He thought the work they did on redeeming the character would be erased in that moment.
It meant more that Daryl got to punch Negan right in the face for saying Glenn’s name. Not only did Daryl’s outburst on the season seven premiere, protesting Abraham’s death, lead to Glenn’s death, but Negan then locked Daryl away in a cell for a while after Glenn’s death.
