“I hear you mocking him while he’s dying” man that really hits hard

"Glenn was beautiful." God that line just hits so hard.

“I don’t want to remember Glenn like that” geez that was crushing

Negan doesn't say a word, but his face speaks a thousand words. Incredible acting

i loved that he let her talk, never interrupted even let her walk away without saying a word. He knew there was nothing he could say or do to change her mind.

This is more than Negan deserves. He knows that. She could never forgive him. But she knows he means it. This is so raw. It is EXTREME ROBBERY that the actors on this show were never nominated for Emmys just because there were zombies in it.

They are such good actors. Even before Maggie spoke her face said a thousand words. You can see Negan mentally preparing himself for whatever conversation would take place when Maggie sat down

After everything that has happened between them, that is the best result of their communication and understanding between them that Negan could hope for or get. Also really nice to see Maggie vocalize that she sees his efforts for self improvement/redemption and that she herself is trying. Really awesome scene.

The fact that Negan said NOTHING during that entire scene made that scene POWERFUL

The look in his eyes says everything, he's such a good actor.

Always loved Maggie from her introduction and her evolution from Farmers Daughter, to a no nonsense bad ass and a Mother has been one of the few best character developments I seen.

One of my favorite scenes in the finale. She gave a perfect, eloquent and heartfelt speech with a harmonious "solution" to their complex dynamic.

We know he didn’t regret killing Abraham because he purposely chose him but you can tell he has a hell of a lot of remorse that he killed Glenn

Honestly the is one of the most well put realistic dialogue between two people trying to be better. So raw and real and not afraid to actually call him out for everything, while using Glenns name and remembering his beauty. Amazing.

Hands down Maggie’s best performance 10/10

Wow. First time seeing this and i have a lump in my throat. Glenn was one of the kindest most humane people in that world and for him to die the way he did was unbelievably cruel and Negan made a joke. When she mentions how negan mocked him as he died really hit me. Glenns death scene is the single most brutal hearbreaking scene in this whole series for me. I personally would not be able to let it go and i wouldve killed Negan the second i had a chance.

The scenes between Maggie and Negan in the finale were completely powerful, brutally honest and totally raw. Negan finally acknowledges what he did to Maggie and her response was beautiful. Negan’s expressions spoke volumes & he knew it was more than he deserved.

When Negan finally officially apologized for what he took from Maggie, she finally felt like she can mourn for Glenn after years of feeling hate for Negan

This script for Maggie was just phenomenal. Great scene!!

As interested as I am to see Dead City, I think this scene right here is the PERFECT ending for these characters. Maggie can’t forgive Negan for what he’s done, but she’s still actively trying to work on not letting Negan bother her. Negan is still actively trying to better himself and be better for those around him and Maggie accepts that. It’s really compelling stuff and this will be my head canon perfect ending.

The fact that you can see the utter remorse in Negans face of what he did and him trying to change for the better is heartbreaking.

This hit home. Honestly a very realistic solution for them to keep moving forward

I think him genuinely apologising is a perfect progression from their last real conversation where he justifies his side of the past…at that point he hadn’t met her son, he hadn’t looked in the eyes of the boy who’s father he had murdered. I think he can have his reasons and justifications on the outside, but looking at Maggie’s eyes everyday and meeting her son and watching that kid point a gun at him…there’s no justifying it for him anymore. He knows deep in his heart that what he did was wrong and he’s finally fully accepted it. He can see the immense pain and suffering he’s caused her and I think he’s genuinely grown fond of her and admires her strength, which only makes him hate himself for what he did even more. He had to have known that she wouldn’t and couldn’t ever truly forgive him, but a heartfelt apology was necessary…this is the best possible outcome between these two.

Watch this scene damn near every other day,such a powerful message “I don’t want to hate you anymore,I don’t want to hurt like that,and I don’t want my son to see anyone has that kind of hold over me”powerful

How could you ever forgive someone for what Negan did? Not killing him is BEYOND generous on her part. It doesn't matter how much you change or how hard you try. Cause those kind of scars. Time never heals. All it does is stop the bleeding... but the scars never heal.

I legit broke down once she dropped the line how beautiful Glenn was. 😭

The relationship between these two characters was the most beautiful thing this show did.

JDM is such a great actor. There is a scene in Supernatural when his character finds out his wife is alive and without words he expressed his happiness so wonderfully

Negan realized he killed a good man. Glenn was someone who would help someone. Glenn wasn't running around murdering people on the spot. Negan saw in himself that he was the one who had lost his humanity.

The spin-off terrifies me because I don’t want them to undo this whatsoever. It’s way more powerful seeing Negan be legitimately sorry, but Maggie literally unable to ever forgive him because, how could you

I'm thinking if Negan didn't kill him so brutally, like maybe shot him instead, Maggie would be more forgiving. Watching what he did to Glenn (and Abraham as well) would mess anyone up.

“I’ll find you.” ❤. And she did. Everywhere. And in the last breathe she gave away her hate. Glenn, did that.

Negan knew full well just to listen, not to say a word. The old Negan wouldn't have been able to do that.

I know people try to justify Negan's actions and say that Rick's group killed his people and started it, but they seem to forget that their first interaction with the Saviors was them holding Daryl, Sasha, and Abraham at gunpoint and trying to rob them, and that they attacked the outpost because the Saviors were threatening and killing Hilltop members. Yes, they escalated things, but it certainly wasn't "oh everything would have been fine if they didn't attack Negan's men." Second, it wasn't just the killing that was so horrifying. It was the cruelty of not just the method of death by beating Glenn's head into a pulp but also the way he taunted his friends and family while making them watch. You see it here that Maggie seems to be the most emotional when she talks about Negan mocking Glenn as he died. And then he made them sit by Glenn and Abraham's mangled corpses for the whole night. Negan does everything in his power in the episode to be as cruel and inflict as much pain and torment as possible and visible revels in it. So yeah, even if Rick and Maggie have killed people and have been cruel, Negan definitely owes Maggie and apology and Maggie is definitely in her right not to forgive him.

You can’t deny the dialogue in this scene is perfect

I think Negan respects Maggie more than anyone he’s ever met. Her pain is his now.

Maggie just said everything I’ve been feeling and have been trying to put into words for the past 5 years, here. I love Rick, Glenn, Daryl, etc. and all of their wonderful moments they’ve given to the show, but deep down inside, I believe this is my favorite scene and the greatest scene of the Walking Dead. Everything about it was perfect. It’s also a bonus that it sets up their show Dead City well and makes us all look forward to the dynamic they’re going to have in that show.

these two & their on-screen chemistry works so well together! two talented actors!

2:35 And after Dead City S1, years passed and Hershel sees exactly that

With all the amazing scenes between so many great actors in this series... this, for me, is hands down one of the most amazing between any two actors on the show.

Maggie: "He was beautiful. His smile...' Negan: "His popped out eye...."

Jeffrey Dean conveyed so many emotions without saying a single word. He's such a talented actor.

I can't believe how amazing this scene is! Great actors! It's a great conclusion to their story, even if it will continue in the spinoff. I just hope they won't ruin it, I'm perfectly happy with the current state of their dynamic. You can complain about the writing of the series, but they did great with these two.

I wish Dead City didn't erase all of this 💔

This scene here shows my biggest issue with Dead City! We see Maggie and Negan here coming to somewhat of a understanding. they never will be friends but at the same time she' came to realize he is truly trying to change and redeem himself for his past actions, he earned his place as one of them after helping them through the battles with the Whispers and the Commonwealth , there will be days when she will be fine with negan and able to look him in the eye and there will be days when she obviously wont which he 100% understands and then we go to the Spin off, Dead City and shes suddenly gone back to hating him again.

GOD I loved this scene. I wish the best for these 2, I really do. Glenn would be proud of you, Maggie. :')

Heartbreaking... Beautifully acted

One of the best scenes in the series.very realistic resolution to their situation.

I consider THIS the climax of the series. The big “showdown” per se. The big resolution (as close to one anyways) of one of the biggest character plot strings in the series.

I feel like Maggie was a stand in for the audience in regards to Glenn's character being killed off.

That top class acting..that's what make this show greatest!

Despite who and what he has done,he knows how to treat women,despite his toxic traits he knows when to listen,he knows when to speak,knows when a women just needs to vent,etc etc..he has his masculine side but also has a feminine side to him which I felt fit his role perfectly..in this moment he doesn’t say a word bc he knows it’s not all about him IN THIS EXACT MOMENT,he’s letting her get how she feels out despite weather he feels she’s right or wrong,despite how much it hurts him

I’m honestly sad that Negan and Maggie’s relationship won’t stay like this in Dead City, because this ending for them was perfect.

it's still funny to me that they played spouses in BvS.

This was probably the best ending between these 2 we could have hoped for. I never expected she would be able to forgive him. I don't think anybody truly could. But I didn't ever think she'd tell him she knows that monster he was is gone and doesn't wanna hate him anymore either. This was heavy

owh man... Negan even speechless.. his eyes ... how I felt this emotion... their acts like superrrrrrrrrrr 💞💓🤩😍 definitely gonna watch them again 2023 InsyaAllah 💪🥰

I WILL NEVER FORGIVE NEGAN FOR WHAT HE DID, BUT I FEEL VERY BAD FOR HIM!

The “All I have are my memories” is what I live by every day. Because it’s so true. I miss my person so much…

I have mixed opinion about Negan apologizing for killing Glenn. Firstly he made it clear that he doesn't regret the line up because to him they killed guys families without remorse. To me the Glenn subject was put to rest by Negan admitting that he did something horrible but so did Rick's group.

I really love this scene. Besides what others have said, and I don't think I've seen it mentioned yet, but if it has been, then I'm sorry for repeating it. But seeing Negan seeing Maggie in so much pain over her husband like that, I think it also gave him a chance to reflect on how he felt when Lucille was taken from him. Not in the same fashion, of course, but she died. And it could be said, it was because of the people who held Negan as long as they did when he was trying to get her Chemo. He could possibly see a reflection of his own pain for Lucille reflected back at him from Maggie's pain. Knowing that he has caused upon someone the same suffering he carries with him on a day to day basis. This of course is just a thought that popped into my head from the look on his face at the end. It felt like it was the type of face that said "oh my God, I have caused the same kind of pain I have carried and put another person through it who just like I, didn't deserve it". That type of thing

This scene is perfect this is the culmination of well written thought out and processed character development.

This was such an emotional moments that it made me tear up I loved it

This was easily one of the hardest scenes to watch last night 😞

Negan and Maggie 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Jeffrey and Lauren are such great actors. Amazing job on season 11.

Who knows? She might be saving the forgiveness for their spin off finale

All season long, we were waiting for this moment and it didn't disappoint. I mean, that's clearly the best Negan could get from Maggie and it's a big victory for him on his redemption. They can't be friends. My only regret is the fact that Negan and Rick didn't face again. It would be interesting to see Rick's reaction about current Negan

The acting is phenomenal from both actors in this scene, Lauren Cohan has always been incredible in the show.

This was probably one of the realest hardest toughest relationships to watch….. like god damn this scene broke me😊

All actors in walking dead are great!😊 Congratulations guys!!!❤❤❤ Good job!👍👍👍

Notice this is the only scene in the series where negan doesn’t have a response/is quiet

Negans redemption arc was the only thing that kept me watching till the end. JDM is an insane actor.

"I don't wanna remember Glenn like that." Either.

Negan really knows what he did you can tell the hurt he caused. This scene was so good great acting.

Stopped watching this show but had to come back for this.

Damn. Talk about character development 😑. This really hits hard especially at 1:59

This was the best result I think Negan could ask for out of Maggie. She doesn't want to avenge Glenn anymore, she doesn't want to hold onto the hate and anger anymore. But after everything he put her and the group through... it is more than entirely understandable that even though she (and I am glad she did) acknowledged the fact she can see Negan TRYING, proving himself not to be that monster he turned into before. That yeah she isn't gonna kick him out or try to kill him anymore, but there will always be a part of her that will never forgive the malicious horrible way he killed Glenn. Which to me, is forgiveness to a point, I don't think Glenn would want Maggie to spend the rest of her days in that kind of pain.

There are things that people can’t forgive or move on from but it doesn’t mean you can’t trust them ever again. I think we all have those moments. Simply ignoring is easier but making peace with our demons is the hard yet right path.

He looked so broken to have never said a word

This scene was so empowering. She recognized that he was trying to be better. But I felt it when she said that she couldn’t forgive him. I have tried so hard to forgive the person that hurt me really bad. The person that took my worth from me. But if I could talk to him again, I would tell him that I will never forgive him. But I have let go of the hate. That’s the important part. Yes it’s not the same as what happened to her but I connected so much to this scene.

Oh my... 🥺🥺🥺 He didn't say a word, but his face 😭😭😭

By far the few positives of the finale this interaction was GOLD

Great scene! Love the way Negan just listens

The writers never should have tried redeeming Negan. He should have just stayed as a bad guy unapologetic for the hurt he caused.

Best scene of the finale, and probably the final series.

Great scene with amazing actor performance

That scene was written so perfectly

I always thought, Rick getting his colt back and reuniting with Daryl was the most powerful scene…but this is amazing. It’s so good written and the acting is incredible.

She right you could never truly forgive what he done, it was simply unforgivable, however she knows negan understands what he done n that he is genuinely sorry, the scene was done so well n both of them perfectly portrayed the hurt they both felt

Yepppp cried over this scene too! 😭

Cant believe they dragged this out for so long. and we're all still watching it

This scene is very sad i cry so much that my eye pop out

I think I understand why Maggie hasn't killed him even though she's had numerous opportunities since Rick went missing; Because Negan wants her to forgive him for killing Glenn but knows he will never receive it from her. Depravity of Forgiveness and life long regret. And that, in her eyes, is a worse punishment then death. Dying is easy, living is harder.

It takes a strong person to say i cant hate you but i cant forgive you either

Negan is unredeemable.

11/10 performance/acting

Dead City is the only spin off Im actually gonna watch just because of these two amazing actors and the weird chemistry and relationship they have. It’s incredibly interesting.

I guess Maggie is better than me because I would have waited to kill him in the most brutal way. When when he was feeling happier, trying more, that would be the time. Still, amazing scene and intriguing conclusion to their conflict.

Man this scene is powerful. This is a perfect example of restorative justice. I’m really impressed with the writers keeping Negan around to be able to have moments like this in his redemption arc.

The manner in which Negan killed Glenn makes it all harder for Maggie. Well at least Daryl is over Negan psychologically torturing him

negan not dying and his character arc was the best decision they did for this show.
