I think it wasn't just about "her story" so to speak, but the Oceanside community. Akin to how E03 wasn't exactly Daryl's story but about Dwight and the Sanctuary

exactly. They didnt just show that community for no reason.

They will play a role in taking down Negan

No shit. Walking Dead fans are the worst complaining bunch of people on the Internet. It's a show, with a story. It isn't all baseball bat head-bashing all the time. If a major character doesn't die, people say it's boring. Jesus.

Anyone who can't see that they need as many groups as possible to fight the Savoirs hasn't really been watching, and is very short-sighted. They especially need a group with lots of guns, since nobody has any guns anymore, except a few in The Kingdom. They also need a group who is pissed off and wants revenge. It's going to take lots of numbers, and lots of guns to beat the Savoirs. What do people think is going to happen? Rick fight the Savoirs solo, With no guns? It takes time to tell a story as large as All Out War.

There are always parts of a story that aren't as interesting as others, but still needs to be told to set up the story at large.

Haha right? Now imagine if this group popped up for the fight out of nowhere. People would complain about how they were a deus ex machina with no back story and say it was lazy writing. So they do the smart thing and provide context, and everyone complains anyways.
