After Watching The Walking Dead: Dead City, I Have Thoughts About Negan And Maggie’s Spinoff

Film

Spoilers below for The Walking Dead: Dead City’s series premiere, so be warned if you haven’t yet watched!

It’s somehow only been seven months since The Walking Dead mothership officially wrapped up its eleven-season saga, with the franchise’s initial spinoff Fear the Walking Dead set to bow out later this year. But this post-apocalyptic universe isn’t dying off anytime soon, with several upcoming TWD series on the horizon, starting with Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan reprising the fan-fave rivals Negan and Maggie, respectively, for AMC’s newest offshoot subtitled Dead City. Having watched the new horror drama’s linear premiere, it’s safe to say I have a few thoughts about this new chapter.  

Kinda Weird To Start This Show Off With Maggie Nearly Getting Taken Out By A Chunky Walker

While I do realize this cold open was all about setting up Maggie going all 2001: A Space Odyssey ape and letting a little bit of rage seep out, I feel like that could have been done without her getting snuck up on by a big sloppy walker that would realistically be terrible at stealth. This premiere managed to have two of these moments, as Negan himself would have easily been chomped out of existence later in the department store thanks to a bizarrely silent zombie that didn’t immediately try to feast. Regardless of such tropes, I just didn’t want to see Maggie’s survival skills get called into question so soon after she returned to audiences.

I Would Watch A Whole Show Centered On This (Or Another) Post-Apocalyptic Bar
