I imagined Maggie's future to be like the cover of
Issue 132: Looking forward, but remembering the past (Glenn, Hershel and her siblings) and promising to live a good life so that their deaths would have not been in vain. Instead, she failed her children (especially her and Glenn's son) and seemingly got distant to all the people she used to be close with (Carl, Michonne, likely Dante etc.).
So I guess that Glenn, Rick and Hershel look in shame from beyond.
Yeah it's sad. I'm sure they won't do this on the show. It was so weird that Maggie chose power over family because I thought she was one of the biggest characters who valued family? TV Maggie needs a happier ending than this.
Especially after she her awesome lines over Glenn and his role in her life:
Maggie to Daryl, 7x14: "You're one of the good things in this world. That's what Glenn thought. And he would know, 'cause he was one of the good things, too."
Maggie to Rick, 7x16: "The decision was made a long time ago. Before any of us knew each other. When we were all strangers, who would have just passed each other on the street before the world ended. And now we mean everything to each other. You were in trouble, you were trapped. Glenn didn't know you, but he helped you. He put himself in danger for you, and that started it all. From Atlanta, to my Daddy's farm, to the prison, to here. To this moment now, not as strangers, as family. Because Glenn chose to be there for you, that day, a long time ago, that was the decision that changed everything. It started with both of you, and it just grew, to all of us, to sacrifice for each other, to suffer, to stand, to grieve, to give, to love, to live, to fight for each other. Glenn made the decision Rick, I was just following his lead."
That ending wouldn't fit her in the show.
