The Walking Dead has been going on for over a decade but it wasn’t until the second half of its last season did it decide it wanted its undead to be a larger threat by… “evolving.” Is it for ratings bait for the tons of spin-offs? How does it connect to the “smart” walkers from episodes 1 and 2? Lets discuss it

wait….the walking dead is still "walking on"? the series it self is undead, for sure.
The writing was exponentially contrived. It became unbearable by Seanson 6
Picking up that rock was just too much, even after jumping the shark. There's a REASON they retconned that walker bashing the mall door in with a rock in season 1 🙄🤦🏿♀️
100% BS this video is. The original zombies from season 1 were using rocks to smash windows. So…..your argument is what again?
I don't believe it's ever made clear they're "evolving". In Season 1, you had very functional zombies – they could jog, use tools, open doors. Etc. This was cut back for budget reasons but in-universe, though Season 11 brought them back. it's easy explained in-universe: zombies in different areas are different for whatever reason they wanna pick.
Seasonal rot and running out of OG material to prop up the scenarios/script. Also, what is next – fantasy esque Undead who can use guns and combat vehicles.
So TWD is ripping off Z Nation?
The Whispers came back after Negan?
They want to be Left 4 Dead when the reality is they've always been Night of the Living Dead.
I'm sure the spin-off with Daryl is going to be VERY popular since a lot of people love him…
I stop watching at season 7… I've missed so much including the new variant but if this keeps people watching why not, they have to do what they can for people to stay interested in the show
the gaurd who opened the gate didnt even try to push the walker off of him he just put his hands on its torso with no effort. and the walker just happened to climb up and attack where that gate switch was and just happened toncause the guy to flip the switch…
I would love a L4D2 TV Show.
They were in the WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS
that zed is a spy…
Fallout music is so good.
''The ratings are dropping.''
''The Walkers are evolving.''
The zombies are not evolving the virus is after all the vires is alive and the zombie is just food for the virus that how i see it.
Sad how bad TWD fell off
I always assumed the smart zombies in the first couple episodes were just retconned out later on. Plus applying biology to zombies that shouldn’t be alive in any biological capacity is a massive contradiction. How can they decay to extreme degrees yet still move and be “alive?” Would make more sense if they just said it was magic as many stories do
I stopped watching the day they killed Rick, and believe me it was a task to get that far!
because that's not how biology works
Yes, their dead but anyone doing that the brain isn’t Eugene l one episode how many variants have been around for God knows how long and then if you go look back at season one when Gwen and Rick were heading towards the van or the truck did you not see the damn walker start running in fucking fucking that damn fence
I think writing in some sort of natural selection early on would have been the best move. Over the course of the series they should have shown some walkers very necrotic (Your classic rotten corpse) and some more preserved as well as them trying to hunt animals or things like hiding, Resting or mostly moving at night. It would give more of animalistic feel to them too, rather than just stupid, hunger corpses.
As someone who’s not a fan on this show I’m here to say that this is what happens when you stretch a show past a certain limit, it becomes dumb, desperate and just sad leaving me to hate this show more and more
Actually evolving zombies makes complete sense you wanna know why Viruses evolve and change overtime and that's exactly what is happening Causing different strains of walkers as they call them
Remember the zombies dont evolve the virus does which they do in real life causing different effects and how deadly they are lol everyone is dumb if they agree that they shouldnt evolve
@jlbourne, what are your thoughts? Besides the talented 10th.
Most of the walking dead didn't make sense
Dead frontier 1 and 2 (video game) had it done right
It was a virus that repaired tissue cells. Then the zombified virus happened in an effort for a more potent medicine.
After a while it actually evolved. First fire then radiation. Other bacteria. And bloody ones that killed a lot.
Other variants. Bloaters which ate too much and got filled with corpse methane gas. Some grew huge. Etc.
Even in death the virus did its job repairing and somehow STRENGTHENING into calcified bone armor or tough bulletproof skins like metal plates.
Regional variants semi make sense. But the ones who used tools doesn't make sense.
Runners though do. At least at first. But by late seasons just like 28 weeks later. Brains and organs rot. So only at first.
Yeah it was just rating / viewer bait. Not very thought out. As others have pointed though:
-someone messing with a virus makes it worse. That would've been a good way to introduce them. Maybe have fertilizer spraying planes fly over first episodes. With gas. Then they appear.
-having armor insects and better variants makes sense too. Theyre outside a lot or body toughens if they dont die. Necrosis couldve been used as armor if skin cells kept growing.
-runners and reflexes only at first. After braun rots doesn't make sense much.
-viruses can evolve like George romero's movies. But it had to happen gradually and little by little. Not all of a sudden last season.
Having the doctor scientist tell of the variants it doesn't make sense. Literally anyone else. Just a quick call back to him from ANOTHER scientist. But as the vid said he completely kept it from the other survivors.
Like tf are the producers smoking?
They should've stayed but become like project zomboid. Slow but in large hoardes. Maybe MAYBE making the zombies a little smarter by having them hide behind doors or under floorboards etc. Ambushing. It still is a survival tactic on all animals by nature. Hiding or waiting for something to hunt.
Also the gas would become a thing and walkers stink from decay. The virus would become airborne and infect much much faster even without a bite or scratch or dying.
Honestly I did always like the concept of how everyone is infected in TWD but evolving zombies just don't work with what they were trying to do.
If you think the Zombies are only just now not making sense your nuts, it never made sense.
Evolving was dumb and probably shouldn't be when the dead are decomposing. A body will take a decade to breakdown like how we see them melted or broken down in episodes. My only exception to evolving is when science is involved and genetically altering like in Resident Evil.
The HELICOPTER PEOPLE are responsible, for their ‘evolution’
Yeah, it's kinda hard creating new type of zombies biologically. Other than the buffed, the fat, the agile, and the kid one. Mushroom zombie is still make sense I suppose.
4:31 – 'Now the idea of fucking Daryl Dixon….', it is impossible to hear anything after that.
It got ridiculous after Season 4 & I didn’t want to see anymore. They weren’t consistent in what attracted them
