Dead City marketed The Walking Dead spinoff as a continuation of Maggie and Negan’s storylines, enticing the audience with the tension between these two long-running characters. This was a focal point for Season 1, highlighting Maggie’s difficulty overcoming past trauma and Negan’s history coming back to haunt him. While this was a successful way to attract dedicated fans of the franchise, it didn’t do Maggie’s character justice.Throughout the many years Maggie has been featured on The Walking Dead, she’s one of the main characters that has gained plot armor through her popularity and longevity. Despite Maggie being one of the few significant feminist representations in the universe, her storyline has unfortunately been centered on her relationships with the men in her life.Aside from Maggie, Dead City was significantly lacking in female representation. Most of the new women characters introduced were killed off, and the only other one was the new villain, The Dama. Viewers wondering where Negan’s wife and child were eventually learned Annie and their son were in hiding and likely wouldn’t have a role in Dead City. This is not a good sign for the female representation in this new Walking Dead spinoff.RELATED: Dead City’s Biggest Downfall Is Reusing The Walking Dead’s TropesRELATED: The Walking Dead: Dead City’s Plot Harks Back to Glenn’s Horrible Luck
