Just somehow sad that the show seems to have forgotten all the original chatracters, with the new ones (Magna, Yumiko, Luke, Lydia) having no way to relate to the previous events and tragedies.

It’s only natural that the older characters move on from stuff like that, even if they still remember them.
For Glenn its been 7 years, also Abraham, Sasha, and Carl.
Probably 10 years without Dale, Shane, Lori, Merle, Andrea
Probably 9 years without Hershel, Beth, Tyreese, and Bob.
And also I forgot to mention that Spencer has been gone for 7 years too. And 6 years since Rick disappeared.
Everyone who loved Spencer died before, so you could say he's in a better place now, since the death of his family was key in his fall of grace and he'w now with them again. RIck's death stll haunts Michonne, who insecure af, even though I never really buyed their relationship.
Plus the "ghosts of dead" have appeared before. It would be great if we'd see in the end our remaining survivors, and all the dead behind them as a sort of testiment of the show. Nowadays one can even impose old footage of characters, if the actors are can't commit or are dead (like in the 50th Doctor Who).
It just seems unfitting that the show jumped so far within the span on one season, since seasons 1-8 had taken about 2,5 to 3 years. (I mean seasons 4 to 8 took part in under one year). The connection to original, better days is gone and not coming back.
And an Gleggie-afterlife was something I had hoped for would happen the moment Negan murdered him in the comics. I was so excited that Maggie woud be leaving the show, and am now saddened that she'll be returning as a regular. And I would flip out if they'd try a new love-interest in the show, 8 years or not. Why would they kill Glenn if there would be a new love anyway?
Did Seasons 4-8 take place in one year it does feel like it?
The timeline seems very confusing.
I just really don’t want Glenn back honestly. Yes they were soulmates but like... idk I’m done with Gleggie.

Why?

Cause it’s not relevant anymore.
If a show constantly refers to the past, then it has failed as a show. A few references to the past here and there is not a bad thing, that's for sure, but a show being based only on nostalgia is a bad thing. You want to create a show that actually has an identity. Thankfully, TWD is not like that.

I wasn't even ready for that to end, for 5 seasons it was mostly only Gleggie. Then starting in the second half of season 6 started Richonne. Which everyone kind of knew that would eventually happen at somepoint.
If we're going to talk about honoring the dead, we can't forget to mention the paintings of Glenn, Beth, and Hershel at Hilltop. Might be more like them elsewhere, Anne had a lot of time on her hands.

Anne did those paintings?
Not sure myself, but some article said they were hers. Something about both her normal paintings and the Hilltop paintings having traits of impressionism or something.

Hopefully they are!
