Welcome! Yeah, it will get resolved, but I'm loving Maggie's intensity and determination in this moment.

 

I don't buy this whole thing myself.
We have been mislead like this before and I think it is just to get us fired up for the next season and nothing will happen at all.
our family is not going to fight each other?

And Welcome to our madness too!

 

I took it as somehow a segue into the Negan and Maggie comic interaction. That hasn't happened on the show yet. Maybe I'm wrong. I often am.

Why do you think Gimple would want to do that to the new showrunner?

 

I'm with you on this. I think the scene was presented as much more ominous than it will turn out to be. I just don't believe that any of those 3 would even contemplate killing Rick or Michonne, let alone try. At best, I think they may try to go behind Rick to kill Negan, and/or voice their disagreement with Rick's decision, creating some sort of tension and conflict, but not a physical mutiny or coup, or pitting one community against another. In short, it was cliffhanger-y fodder meant to keep us peons guessing in the off season.

 

Welcome to the forum! And I would hope he wouldn't intentionally sabotage it like that.

 

You kinda had me until you said "but not a physical mutiny" because the mutiny does have Daryl on Maggie's side and he and Rick just recently got into a fistfight over Negan's weapons munitions.

I can easily see Daryl and Rick getting into another physical altercation with how to deal with Negan as he and Maggie have a reason to feel the way they do. Hell they all have their reasons to feel the way they do.

 

But this is exactly why this is such a stupid and petty diversion trick on us too!

Rick hardly planned the whole ting and is clearly inside of the mindset to kill negan too but something called him not to in the heat of the fight,they still can now but if he had killed him that is a little harder to take back.

 

Yeah, you're right, I could see a fist fight happening, but when I wrote that I meant a murder attempt on Rick. I just don't believe they will plot to assassinate Rick or Michonne

 

Maggie said, ''...we will get strong and then we will make our move...'' (or something like that).

My interpretation is that she will build up Hilltop to become a stronger community, especially their fighting capability, which she will use not to overturn Rick's ASZ but to finish off Negan for good. This is a 1st of her 2-part plan.

Part 2 is her 'move'. I think she will not kill Negan as a direct confrontation with Rick. Rick's plan is to keep Negan alive and detained so that Negan could suffer by watching how beautiful the world that Rick can build according to his terms but not to Negan's ideals. Maggie is counting on a cut-loose Negan trying to create havoc. Then Maggie will confirm to everyone that Negan has never repented and so she could kill him with a strong force from Hilltop.

I am not saying this is actually going to happen in the story ahead but I think this is Maggie's plan at the moment.
