What is scary about this premise is that, since everyone is infected, you can never get rid of it. Even if you smashed the head of the last walker in, it's enough to have one person die of a heart attack unsupervised to get it going again.
Unless some people develop an immunity then eventually the zombie virus will die and leave a human population resistant to it. Evolution at work.
@@mogznwaz If it was a scientifically possible situation, I guess you are right. Case in point: against every virus that ever infected humans, there are those, however small in number, that are naturally immune. At least as far as I know.
But, if it is so in this case, we should have seen examples of that in the show by now. And a key factor that differentiates this zombie-virus from real viruses is that it doesn't cause symptoms and only affects the body when the body is dead and incapable of producing antibodies anymore.
But, since this scenario is based more in fantasy than in science, a heavy coat of plot-armour will take care of maintaining a high level of threat.
My main question is, does the virus continue to infect people or was it a wave of infection? For instance, if someone gives birth 5 years later, is the baby infected because of the mother? Is the baby infected because of the air? Is it even infected at all? I really hope the writer gives away the origin of the virus before he croaks.
@@Edward-Not-Elric I'm guessing that the origin of the virus will remain a mystery. At least, I hope so. I think we have come a long way by now for it to matter.
I assume that babies born after the initial wave of infection are just as much subjects to the virus as anyone. The wave subsided only because there was no-one left to infect.
@@Edward-Not-Elric Zombies are kind of a background thing in both the show and comics(afaik) and it's more about surviving the real monsters that lived before the "apocalypse" and are still there adapting to the new world. IMHO author kind of solidified the zombie "problem" in the show with the CDC and Dr. Jenner on "how everyone is already infected" and kind of there's' that, so i highly doubt if author gonna bother with the virus anymore, unless there's some mutation years later that changes the people born after the apocalypse(judith, other kids).

The virus has also turned the human skull soft as watermelons...
Yeah this annoys me too, they do not even need to try very hard,
just slowly put an knife through their heads
Wurschtl Burschtl I think their reasoning is decomposition, however the human skeleton decays insanely slow so, yes they should have to put effort. Like when Sasha used the marksman rifle to take a chunk out of a zombies head in s5 ep13
zxGETxBODIEDxz ATLS CLAN it could be that after years of shambling around and falling over there skulls are all but completely broken
Not sure to which show or movie it was but I once seen an explanation for the soft skulls. Quite some time ago though so I can't remember anything other than there being an explanation.
@@Abraksas112 very helpful
If they really want to make the show interesting, the survivors need a GOAL. Like finding the origins of the virus and trying to cure it. Standing around, talking, finding a new home, abandoning it, and repeating is not a goal.
Why am I like this? Help, I think one of the show creators *wanted* to do that. And guess what AMC did to them. They fired him
Mango Strangler I mean, they also fired Frank Darabont for him complaining about 2x the amount of episodes and a significantly reduced budget for season 2., which he was apparently supposed to make work without question. With that in mind, it's very easy to see the drop in quality post season 1.
Mango Strangler and now Scott gimple is in charge of the whole franchise now. WE ARE FUCK
I have to disagree with that. We have wayy to many survival zombie shows that put some convenient expert in a quest to find a cure (WWZ). Having some random ol strangers to find a cure eventhough they barely know what the virus is is just bad storyline.
Aiman Imran bear in mind that's just one, overused plotline that's used in the Zombie horror genre a lot. There are tonnes of other good plotlines to use, instead of the endless wandering and mediocre drama that TWD seems to rely upon. It's basically a Soap Opera with more violence and grimy stuff
The zombies stopped being “smarter” (rocks, doorknob), because the director was fired.
Teddy bear
Alexander Von No it was Frank Darabont
No because the zombies at the start had their past selves more intact. It was explained
Grilled Butter thats how it was explained but it was really because two different directors had different visions for the zombies. The change was just said to be that in order to make the transition be more seamless

Always love how a random pack of survivors can somehow manage to construct a stronghold of some kind to hold off the zombies, yet military bases and bunkers (some of the most fortified installations on the planet) have somehow managed to fall during the zombie onslaught. Totally makes sense.
Experience makes the difference.
People in the walking dead universe didn’t know what zombies are because it wasn’t thought of, and believe it or not there’s actually a plan made for zombies in real life.

2010 crap technology
There are real world viruses that very nearly everyone carries. Nearly everyone has herpes. No one cares since it has evolved to inflict nearly no symptoms.
The new scary viruses are the un-evolved. HIV is probably not even 100 years old. Ebola is probably newer still. Killing a host quickly with horrific symptoms leads to rapid eradication.
Wildfire would need to be airborne and infect with little to no symptoms. But then why would it provoke a cytokine storm in a zombie bite? The writers can’t have it both ways.
Then there’s the physics of reanimating dead bodies.

The zombies so would eventually rot COMPLETELY. Flesh falling off the bones, 'til there's just skeletons left.
What I've never got, is why don't they just wait for them to just rot into skeletons?
Sad man disciple That’s always been my thought. Realistically the zombies would eventually fall apart before their brain finally decomposed.
It wouldn't even take a year for them to decompose since they just fucking walk around everywhere
Logically yes. I mean I'm quite sure that most survivors managed to avoid the walkers for at least 4 months, so no energy source for the walkers...
so eventually all that would remain of humanity would be sans cosplayers?
You would think the survivors would have bite resistant clothing and wouldn’t be walking around bare armed. The amount of skin exposure is just ridiculous. Also why don’t they cover themselves in zombie guts more often to avoid detection. It’s all become such a drag, they’ve should have ended it long ago regardless of the comic books.
@USSF - United States Space Force oh ho 1 round with the right gun could take out more than one zombie
In Fear The Walking Dead, they cover themselves in guts every time. Zombies are the least of worries because of how slow they are, but humans falling to insanity is their worst enemy. Most of the protagonists are unlikable, and they show that humans had a bigger role in making civilization fall more than the zombies.
People really need to understand the difference between good story telling and realism. This show is a fictional drama show. It’s hard to have drama with zombies if everyone is in full body ballistic gear and there’s no risk of infection. It’s how you get the sense of dread and fear that drives the show. If you had everyone geared head to toe with fully automatic rifles then what’s the point of having zombies if they provide no horror? It would get boring if there was no danger with combatting the dead EVERY single episode.
@@doctorfuckmen that means sacrificing logic and intelligence I guess.
The show is in Atlanta dog they get hot but that’s for when they were in the city
It's interesting to note how the walkers can growl despite not having air in there lungs.
THANK YOU. This is my biggest pet peeves with all zombie media. I honestly think it would be scarier if they don't make any noise anyway. They'd be able to sneak up on you much more easily.
It seems even with the growling they are somehow still able to sneak up on people. I never understood how we as the audience can hear the loud breathing or whatever they do, but the person on the screen never heard it until the Walker is right on them. It just doesn't make sense.

@@naughtysims30 Shooting guns damages your hearing if you're not wearing ear protection. If you can't hear that well, it's easy for someone to sneak up on you.
This kind of virus pretty much means that there will be no way to restore humanity, since everyone is infected. That’s crazy. Love your videos!
daiszaib _ Well you could, you just have to shoot every dead body in the head.
More less what Andersen said, life can back to normal but means having to headshot anyone who has died from old age to disease etc
FeudalJapan That is if there even is a cure.
Chrislucasinc Just hope survivors don’t build any late settlements in the future.
I think I read somewhere that children/infants born after the world went to shit aren't infected, meaning someone like Judith won't reanimate when they die
Zombies are decaying, but still it's muscles are capable of biting and tearing apart body parts?💁
Not taking a shower or cleaning yourself for long periods of time can make you look like you're decaying but you're not well not completely as you're still alive
Realistically speaking they shouldn't be able to move at all after a couple of months. The muscles would just tear if they tried to move.
Also, how the fuck do their eyes and smell still work? I thought the brain functions ceased.
Human jaws are pretty strong!
@@Siegbert85 Some brain functions still remain.
@@Siegbert85 especially if there are no nose or eyes left..hearing in some cases also.
Anyone remember the fact ricks wife cheats on him with his best friend who LITERALLY left him for dead.
Matt S. didn’t Shane make sure he was locked safely in the room. In my opinion Lori was a snob...
Shane couldn't take Rick because he didn't know if removing him from the machines would kill him so instead he blocked off the room with a bed so nothing would go inside. Also Lori thought Rick was dead so probably to fuck at some point.
Also the military was massacring the people in the hospital so Shane had to get out quick and block the door otherwise they both would've died.
SomeRandomDude12345 yes, plus you’re not gonna run around trying to carry a 200 lbs man, what happens once there’s too many of them? Or something startled you? You drop that 200 lbs dead weight and there’s no way you’re gonna pick it back up with a horde looking at you. Shane did what he could. Lori on the other hand...
Matt S. Shane actually did one of the best options you could in that situation. Lori is the one at fault in reality, Shane did everything he could in the best way he could.

You mean, season 1 which was the real zombie apocalypse series, all the rest was just a pile of soap opera
In the beginning they knew what they were doing. Season 2 was all right. However, it went to shit from there. In my opinion this should have been the kind of TV series that is all in one to two seasons.
Ts-19 and wildfire were the best episodes
Soap Opera (ft. Zombies!)
@@itsRN4L i agree with you and never forget the first episode was the best beginning ever
Did you watch rest of the seasons?
What sucked me into the series was the fact that it was a series. I'm a huge Romero fan, but feature films really can only tell a very short story about zombies. The grueling reality of survival was ripe for exploration here.
The Romero series was explained, except in Dawn (barely). In Night it's caused by a radioactive satellite, Dawn nothing useful explained, while Day explains there anatomy like brain power and stuff.
weehawk I utterly loved the first few series but noticed the change after season 2. Shame as it started so strongly.
possibly the most docile and easiest virus to suvive . its like a breeze compared to the necromorphs or reaper virus , or the solanum ,or the cordyceps . But anyway ,nice freaking video man , if you havent done it ,i suggest the flare virus from maze runer next .
I'd have to agree with that! it is the most docile compared to most of the other virus types! thanks marin :)
Marin Eduard Agreed but it’s probably the hardest to beat in the long term because everyone is affected by it
Vivir Vivir Cas9 would put an end to it very quickly. From what we know of the virus we could cure it at most in just 10 year tops. Id say just 2 years max.
What you have to watch out for is the numbers of them
Depends on which version of the Solanum... Book version is basically the Night of the Living Dead zombies' virus.
The virus also apparently ignores biology and keeps zombies mobile and upright with virtually zero muscle mass intact. Gotta love reanimated skeletons. 🤣
Because just like all the other sci-fi or fiction stories, they are all BS.
Animation~muscles~blood~water/nutrients
Humans are tasty
And the law of thermal dynamics
they also ignore thermodynamics and have them mobile and upright without any energy input
lol
Rick didn't struggle to find his family in the comic, it happened in the first 8 pages.
Just because it's short for us because of the number of panels doesn't mean the character himself didn't struggle or take a long time doing it. It'd be like if you skimmed through the Harry Potter series in a night and then said Harry barely had time to feel anything.
The UA-cam algorithm has a funny sense of humor.
Lol
It does
when we all thought it would blow over in a few months
Covid was 4 years ago… where has the time gone??
The Wildfire Zombies were also capable of differentiating between themselves and the living by recognizing the behaviors of living people. When Rick was leading the woman and her sons through the horde and the kid started crying, he was quickly attacked by the walkers because he was acting like a living human.
My personal theory about why the bite killed you despite the virus already being airborne was that their mouth was filled with harm fell bacteria like that of a komodo dragons, although if that were the case survivors could stop the bacteria by bleaching the wound immediately or just taking really strong anti biotics.
christopher warlick Indeed what we should say over and over, but people cannot understand that such strong anti-biotics aren't in unlimited supply and even then there is a big probability of death.
RoyaCanadianInfantry yeah I never understood why people seem to think that being bitten by a corpse wouldn't introduce something nasty and fatal into your bloodstream E. Coli or some other nasty virus that can be found in rotting corpses.
christopher warlick. Both which are hard to come by well maybe not bleach
I still think it was a major goof that a bite turned them into walkers, even though they are already infected.
A more mutated strain of the virus can always overwrite an older strain of the virus
I love how in the show we see the differences in the walkers decomposition. In the begginning, their blood is still kind of wet (on the outside). In the recent seasons, they are more dry and skeletal. Nice touch.
...But it isn't a virus! The pathogen is of an unknown type according to the CDC episode.
Seeing how it’s able to quickly infect the whole world in a few months and everyone is infected, surmises it is a virus as they can spread much quicker than any other pathogen
@Michelino Guarda Nothing about that scene implied Jenner believes that, he was just saying it to agree with Carol.
@Michelino Guarda One thing is for sure: it is fantasy.
Its probably a kind of prion or viroid
Space spore
What i really want for TWD to be great, is that i wanna know how this so called "Wildfire" was made. I just wanted to see a *prequel* of it. How it all went down in the first place FTWD is an okay example on what does it looks like before, and the point is i want some scientists working on something with some soldiers too. But there is alot of theories on how it started like it was made into a Biological Weapon,Act of God,Aliens planted a parasite on Earth and etc. Goddamn it! there's alot of'em, but there can be only ONE that can answer all of our questions! *XD*
James Ferraris they arent going to answer it ever not in the comics atleast.cause the creator robert said its to dumb
I personally believe it's an act of god
James Ferraris While Robert Kirkman has already said that he'll never reveal the cause, I'm going to go with Wildfire being a natural virus. Like the pest and the Spanish flu, but even more devestating because of its longterm effects (not just death, but zombification).
For those who don't know: Robert Kirkman, while trying to get the comics adapted to a tv series, was forced to give an answer of how the virus started to AMC if he wanted to get the show up and running at all. They wanted to explore what caused it. He told them "Aliens", especially because EVERY person in the world was infected at the exact same time. Consider it like how crop-duster planes dust their crops with pesticides. Of course he was lying, because once the show was green-lit he refused to give an explanation (the series was only ever about what happens after the outbreak) and simply followed the comics very closely for the first few seasons. The show ended up being such a hit that AMC simply didn't care that Kirkman lied to them, because money and ratings.
According to some, Jesse & Walter's meth did it (true theory story lol)

Um, ok. If you wanted anybody to give a fuck about your existential crisis, here's a sole response. After 5 years, of course.
It’s amazing that Rick has kept his pistol for all these years and keeps finding ammo for it too.
TrayCaddyyy ammo for a .44 isn’t that rare, especially considering most people’s first choice for a weapon wouldn’t be a .44
He wasnt using that gun so often
Keep up the good work
Thanks Zambie!
Also the using a rock or turning a doorknob was a concept of Frank Durabount and then AMC screwed him and it went a different path than he wanted in Season 1 & half way through Season 2 until his split from the show. A lengthy legal battle ensued that lasted until about a year & a half ago.
They are called Walkers but they look more like Power Walkers or Joggers
they're called that cause in the Walking Dead they don't know the term 'zombie'
In the original comics, the term, zombies, was still used, but not as common as the term, roamers, which was the most common zombie name for the walkers.
In one of the issues during the prison arc, Tyreese told Rick that calling the roamers “zombies” was too ridiculous.
The Walking Dead is one of the few shows I have been watching since the 1st season, it just feels so much different from just binging a show with the same amount of seasons.
Watching a new video from you is the best way to start the day! Thank you☺
great to hear Caitlyn!
Don’t open dead inside
Walker: no don’t listen to the sign
Walker2: let us out I’m thirsty I need soda
Rick: lets just have a look around
Idk why but what always stood out to me and bothered me in a good way was when Rick makes it back to his home looking for his family only for it to be empty. He falls to his knees and hands and starts hitting his head saying to himself “wake up, wake up”. Idk that always stood out to me. Great cinematography and writing.
*Noob question here -*
Assuming a walker doesn't breathe due to lack of lung power from, well, being dead, how is a walker able to smell if it can't breathe in scents?
Well they should still be able to inhale/exhale. It's more of a series of muscle contractions than a general organ function to be honest. Your nose still picks up on the smells when you breath. It isn't something complex like the brain firing off or your stomach digesting. (I think it was hinted at that the stomach doesn't digest food anymore. Season 2 when Darryl gutted that walker?) As long as they can still walk they are able to move the muscles you need to inhale/exhale. Considering everything needs to breath one way or another the Walker brain is probably still making it breath on reflex. Plus they groan and hiss, so they have to be able to breathe for that. They don't get anything from breathing, but can still do it.
@@ANite-vx1vk that's some pretty sound logic. They still breath air but the virtue of being dead means they don't need oxygen to keep existing (or walking).
i have an answer for that ..... 'convinence'
Ik this whole show is not realistic, but you don’t need to breathe to pick up a scent. A stray wind can just blow a scent into the nose’s chemical receptors. Especially if it’s a strong scent (aka human BO).
That n the fact that a) some walkers have no fuckin nose b) some literally dont have lungs c) you can’t take the puny receptors in our living nose and overclock them like a fuckin cpu. They’d smell the same shit, if they could smell, which most could not, and they wouldn’t be able to distinguish anything until they were point blank up close.
A youtuber by the name of Zombie Survival Labs came up with a theory that there was 2 viruses. The first is the zombie virus that reanimates you once you die. When the walker bites you, it infects you with the second virus, which just kills you, allowing the first to reanimate you
Komodo dragons get meat trapped in their teeth. The meat rots. When they bite something, that rotted meat infects the animal they bite. that animal dies not to long after form the blood infection.
Walkers are essentially rotted meat. Their bite kills the same way.
@@VanishingNomad Bactria in their mouths causes the death, since they rot.

The Virus in the Stand that wiped out nearly everyone. The only ones who survived were immune. I think a few I'm the survivors developed gifts, but it wasn't really explained why. It's a book by Steven (Stefan?) King and was made into a miniseries on Syfi.
Its Stephen King and it became a miniseries in the 90s on a non cable tv station I think it was CBS not Syfy
Act of God though
Yeah those old "miniseries" were basically large movies split into 3 or 4 parts. They're essentially what an HBO show is today but way more condensed and usually well structured.
A fan asked the developer kirkman what the source of the virus is and he said it was actually a space fungus.

I remember reading a theory on Reddit that the Wildfire Virus is a mutated and more aggressive form of Bone Cancer which would explain why everyone is infected with it (it basically takes the saying “it’s not a matter of IF you get Cancer it’s a matter of WHEN” to the utmost extreme) and would also explain why the reanimated corpses can keep moving even after being extremely decayed (the cancer is holding the body together)
i know its been 3 years but that theory is actually pretty good
Cararr from subnautica
its already on the list mate, thanks :)

The infamous "zombie" needing a drink of water.
??
Left in the background guy bring a water bottle to his face
Possibly the most detailed series in the genre yet we know very little of the virus itself
Great vid as usual. You should talk about the Dredge from Titan A.E.
I'll add it to the list Tyler, thanks :)
My theory is that the reason they hunt the humans with such ferocity is that some humans used some Drej for a power source, killing the alien in the process. This enraged them, and they undertook genocide in response.
I'm also disappointed that two people in this thread misspelt the main alien's name.
Evil Ash i had a feeling i misspelled the name just was too lazy to check
Keep up the good work watched every virus and disease explored video sinced you started the series great job man looking forward for the next video
thanks strilla!
FilmComicsExplained no problem man
Me and my gang of slow moving decaying bois taking out military bases
I would assume the military has storm trooper aiming. There's just no other way the military would get overrun in just weeks or months into a zombie apocalypse.
I loved the detailed information! The funny thing is that i never knew that the virus was called Wildfire :D
its not.
Wildfire is the state of emergency that was declared by the CDC after the disease went global. He just called it wildfire because thats the closest it has to a name.
yeh it was either wildfire virus or walker virus, and I thought wildfire sounded so much better!
you are welcome, ive been thinking of doing lore vids too man xD we should collab sometime @filmcomicsexplained
Either way, the name is cool :D
You scienced the shit out of this vid. The graphic novels are amazing, compared to the tv show. The Tv show is not nearly as good!
Albert Contreras why does everyone needs to bring up the compare view it's walking dead all of it you could of just said great video and amazing explaining but you went further 😒
Shows not as good
I don’t know how much “science” is behind the idea that “everybody has it lol.” That just seems like a lazy excuse to not deal with it.
the show lost its appeal to me last year can't even bring myself to watch it again
The show was good until they left Terminus. It had so much wasted potential
Walkers can starve of hunger but it takes a long time this was said in the series
I feel as if you would be really good at writing research papers
Right now theres someone stockpiling massive amounts of guns in their home in preparation for the events of this very fictional story. The walking dead makes for some good TV but I do think that some are taking the whole zombie thing waaaaayy too seriously.
When the government transfer zombie outbreak they’re using zombies as an allegory for hungry desperate people
Actually a 28 days later scenario is much more likely because it's rabies and evola all it takes is some evil group/govt to make it say the CCP of China or a bio terrorist cell the walking dead situation however you are right that's just not happening
A 'zombie' like virus is theoretically possible. If rabies, ebola, or something like that evolved, or somehow infected humans, a zombie apocalypse could happen. Now, people wouldn't actually be dead, they could be perfectly healthy one day, and the next, be crazy.
A Random User I’m not a scientist or a prophet, but I can assure you with 100% certainty that will never ever happen.
@@AstonishingRed There is ready a virus that does EXACTLY what 'Wildfire' does. I believe it is in ants, where a plant or something pretty much kills them, re-animates the body, and has control over the ant. If something like this happened to humans, it would be pretty bad. Besides, there is a lot of corruption in today's society, so if somebody dedicated their life to creating a virus with a zombie like status, then... well..... yeah
It's crazy but the zombie guy getting off the burned out city bus has always been my absolute favorite zombie in the whole series 🧠💯
I can't watch TWD tv show. Its really gone downhill during the last few years. But the comic books were awesome. The art style & story kept me coming back for each subsequent book.
Since I started watching this series and reached the point where Rick knows that everyone is infected but not turned. I have been curious on how and why they didn't turn if they are infected but this video has explained that question that I have for years now nice vids and keep up the good work
Thats soo good to hear OJ! Thank you :)
Oj Arenas , basically it's similar to shingles.
Please do an explained on the very old British film the crawling eye. The monsters are weird and you may have a challenge trying to explain the crawling eyes. Also dubbed (terror on the Trollenburg)
The Virus from Dead Rising (Video Game)
its not a virus man, its a parasitic wasp.
mendy-biased wait really I haven't really delved into the lore of Dead Rising at all
The walkers should all be decomposed skeletoms.
They have a reduced rate of decomposition compared to humans but will of course eventually wither to nothing!
Yeah that was always my biggest complaint about the show. No way those zombies still walking around and functioning. They would be mush after a couple weeks.
"This isn't a democracy" "we vote" *dale face*
Me: *confused pikachu face*
Yaaa but when rick said that, we all know that he killed the kid:P
After watching this, I’m
still no closer to understanding the outbreak of “Wildfire”.
Could be fungal, bacterial, microbial,
or an act of gawd...
there is always that.
“TS-19” my favorite episode.
It's hard to believe the walking dead was amazing when it was actually about zombies
Another great video as always FilmComicsExplained keep up the great work
Thanks Buddy!
No problem and also can you do the Harran Virus in the game Dying Light for one of your videos please
The zombies aren’t that scary anymore in TWD they need to fix that with some new type of zombie or just including more screnes like the door knob one
Robert kirman said the main focus won't be walkers as time goes on
I feel like I'm the only one that really enjoyed every season and isn't hating on everything past the first seasons.
@Snowy Melody so true lol
Very interesting ! Quit the shit show years ago but the lore always has me intrigued ! Awesome vid as usual
Vivir Vivir prepare for salty fanboys
how do they follow through the latest seasons anyway..can't even stay awake at episode 6 of the 1st season.
good choice it only gets worse but the fear spinnoff has its moments
After about the 4th or 5th season I slowly stopped watching. Its not even about the emotional part anymore. Nor is it really even about zombies at this point. Its basically just a post apocalyptic war show with zombies here and there now.
Kendall all the sets are pretty samey now as well. Tends to get a bit stale after a while. After Shane died I pretty much got bored of the writing.
Left4Dead infection next please.
Great content as usual.
Jay Wizzle YASSSSSS!
@@obiwaankenobi4460 dude wow such gaming already explained it
3:06 “I did not hit her! I did not! Oh hi mark”
I can’t be the only one that thought of that
Awesome awesome awesome awesome. So glad you covered this.
Master Diddlez awesome Skyrim pfp, I'm a fan of TES
9,999,999M views me too man. LOVE the Elder Scrolls.
Why if you already have the virus would your immune system react to the virus when bit?
Different strain perhaps? Airbourne only works when you die your system can handle that but the contact (bite) strain would be introduced directly to bloodstream so very quick movement to infect everything and once it's past the bloodbrain barrier you are screwed, hershal got bit and was saved because you can amputate a leg you can't amputate your neck or torso
Maybe its like HIV and AIDS, it sits in your body until it Can take over. The video shows the bite having a reproductive effect, maybe that causes the infection to activate
Remembers lee
Tears INTENSIFY
It would cool to see you talk about the flare virus from the Maze Runner series

yeh its on the list, thanks :)
Every Comment is liked...
Thats a keen observation.
I think he is just acknowledging that he's seen their comments
But not every Comment is like by Film comics explained
Yep, including yours
I doubt mine,though.
To this day, I believe the virus came from crows. There are always crows in every walking dead intro and even the scene with Rick and Shane before the apocalypse shows crows eating carcass on the road. I'll guess we'll never truly know but it's a fun theory to poke at.
The show has really gone to shit
It would be OK if it was actually going somewhere
I miss the good old days with the show. I got bored after Negan showed up even though he's an amazing character. It's just so bland now. I liked season 1, the farm and prison parts with the governor. Everything after that was kinda meh except for the horde attack in Alexandria.
They need to go back in the road
Same, it’s just a drama show in the bushes now :( nobody is even threatened by walkers anymore, they’re just an annoyance to the characters at this point lmao.
Colton Pelletier yeah, it's not like anybody important just died from one or anything
You should do an episode covering the flu that was seen in season 4. That was a good storyline in TWD.
If bites start the cascade of the infection, one would think blood splatters would be just as deadly. Yet in this series they have lived through countless blood baths with the undead.. I know some of that got into their mouths and eyes, lol.
The Virus began on September 8 2010
Alright we understand that the walkers are hungry all the time and eat flesh but where exactly do they dump their shit?
I am Legend still has some of the most realistic "zombies" to date
They are vampires, might as well call it zombies
Can you do another theory on TWD and why this franchise isnt dead yet?
so the walking dead is actually like night of the living dead. I prefer those kinds of zombies where they only become zombies upon death, not that whole "oh I was bitten I'm gonna turn guys you have to go without me" thanks for explaining this so I know what it's all about
You're thinking of traditional 'zombies'. Like, old school kind. People brought back from the dead by magic to be used as slaves or puppets. That's why there isn't any biting or turning involved.
Virus types have become more popular and realistic as of late so that's what people have gravitated towards, hence the biting. The distinction has been lost in the last two decades.
I wonder if this is even realistic. Like, what are the odds that a dormant strain gets into every human, successfully creates undead humans that can walk, and no one found it until it got bad.
The Murphy could have handled that horde lol
