in the beginning bullets were like gold. during the savior rebellion everybody had a full auto assault rifle with a ''Hollywood magazine'' that fired infinite rounds
It’s funny how in the first season the zombies were able to turn door knobs (Morgan’s wife), run and pick up rocks to smash windows and able to climb fences ... but as the seasons went on... they lost all of those abilities lol I guess they figured out that a lot of the survival scenarios wouldn’t really be able to work out if the zombies were able to do all those things
And also- in the last seasons ... Negan figures out that he can infect Hilltop by soaking their weapons in zombie guts and thus making anyone who was injured with the weapons get sick with zombie fever... but uhhh... what about all the times they used the same weapons that were covered in zombie guts to either- kill their prey out hunting (daryl and his arrows) and their swords or axes to amputate someone’s limb when it got bit??? Hello. Just doesn’t make sense or they had incredible luck not having ANY sort of cut or scrape... even cuticle cuts whenever they slaughtered a zombie and the guts spilled all over them in the process. Lol. The guts surely must’ve gotten in someone’s eyes or mouth at some point. Come on! But I guess that’s why it’s just a show!!! Lol
I think it’s bec they started rotting and were so far gone. Fresh infected could still do a lot of human stuff but start to get worse over time. After a year their bodies must barely be able to hold themselves together. Probably why humans are the main antagonists and zombies are just part of the setting towards the end. Soon no more hordes of zombies to threaten communities bec they can’t even move.
My girlfriend and I discuss apocalyptic scenarios sometimes and whenever zombies come up we always hit a wall with suspension of disbelief because realistically without water to drink and subject to the weather and elements, rotting zombies would not be an issue after one month, which is incidentally the plot of 28 days later.
But if it is from out of space who knows what it can do to our anatomy I mean the universe is infinite, the viruses might be made of elements we can't even comprehend which allow the body to stay together as it multiplies in the host, in twd we see the zombies bite through denim jeans wich normal humans can't do so it definitely alters our anatomy.
A "28 Days Later" with a "Rage.Virus" that makes people insane (Biogenetic engineering of a virus.) might be possible, but it taking seconds was idiotic. It could be airborne, but a few hours to day is much more likely than "5 seconds to Instant Psycho" like the movie says. The Dead are dead. A corpse rots. Muscles move because they have energy. How is a nonbeating heart, and rotting muscle and flesh providing energy? It's preposterous, and you know it. A story can have it though, that's why it's "fiction". Whether that fiction works, and you have a believable story is another thing.
I didn't know how fast Corpses rotted but I know it didn't really take long, so this has been a thing on my mind for awhile. I figure they could probably explain it as something to do with the effects of the virus trying to keep the host alive long enough to infect multiple new hosts. I don't know if that would be a good enough answer for most so they just don't talk about it. Ooooh 28 days later sounds interesting then I have to take a look at it myself
@@nancyjones6780 yeah. Except when you do some research and cut through the fear porn, you'll find Covid is just an overhyped common cold. The world shut down over nothing. Yes, ppl died. But the numbers were very low, esp in the US. Masks don't do jack to stop viruses. The "experts" never ran clinical trials to show what type of mask material would work to keep the virus out. On that basis alone, this pandemic was blown way out of proportion and millions were falsely panicked for no reason.
I think the space junk song basically told us that the infection came from space, the lyrics ' riding on the space junk, it's bringing me to you' basically admitted it
@@swhorne Granted on ZL they did state that patent zero started it by eating a tainted hamburger but mine is an almost direct quote from a different source.
What I'm curious about is if the virus infected everyone at the exact same time, or if it gradually infected everyone. So, for example, if somebody in say, D.C was a walker because they were infected, and you were in Los Angeles or something and you died, would you still become a walker or would you just die naturally?
It's an homage to the film that started it all, Night of the Living Dead. In that movie a crashed satellite animated the first zombies. So it's not definite, but definitely a nod to the first modern zombie film.
When Kirkman was shopping the comic series around, no companies were interested. Until he told Image Comics that "...aliens did it." They were intrigued. They gave the books a chance. Then, the EIC at Image asked Kirkman when the aliens would appear, he said something along the lines of "next chapter. Or the next after that, depend of the story progression." And Kirkman successfully held off the issue for long enough that the series no longer needed the "aliens" angle.
@Muin's Corner. Image Comics are excellent, and there's Dark Horses too. I don't understand why Marvel and DC are still leading the Comic sector. I'm certainly got fed up with the over-exploited Superhero franchise. Nearly every superfreak is a kind of Messiah, and their stereotype nemesis a Satan. The apocalyptic Zombie concept is 60 years old but still doesn't bore.
@@willemvandeursen3105 Budgetary reasons. DC and Marvel have the capital to burn with shit like backpacks and toys. Ever notice how it's always the same one-note characters? Every year who is it? Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Ironman. Sometimes a little razzle dazzle with Wonderwoman or Captain America. Point is, they can burn millions of dollars in development and slap that shit on shelves because they know it'll sell. Now try that with, say, Astro Boy, Ghost, Hellboy or The Mask.
Yes thats exactly right. In Night of the Living Dead it is hinted that the Gouls were caused by radiation from a spacecraft that had visited Venus and destroyed before it arrived at Earth because of the High levels of radiation
Kirkman also pitched the story of the walking dead to image comic with aliens in it but the aliens never came. He said it in many interviews. Image comic wasn’t interested in a zombie comic book so he added the aliens to convince them and they said yes.

@@zombiegaby he will never say he hate the show out loud while it’s still air and sell, but you can see that’s how he feels. In many talking dead and interview you could see it.

Yes, I think they were reaching a little to extrapolate a whole video from one offhand line. But I do like the presenter for pronouncing words correctly!
I honestly think it was just an Easter egg referencing Robert joking that it started in space since that was his original pitch for the comic and a reference to night of the living dead. I don’t think he’ll ever reveal what started it, which I’m fine with, because I like not knowing. But I think it was just a fun Easter egg. I didn’t even realize it till I rewatched the episode.
Just added a comment saying pretty much the same thing. Turns out I'm not making things up, after all. Now, just to confirm: there was a kinda funny comic story referencing aliens and an invasion that was published in a Nth Special Edition, right?
Robert kirkman made it as an homage The George Romero night of the living Dead reference of that zombie apocalypse being caused by something from space
A potential storyline that was abandoned stated that Strand from Fear The Walking Dead knew of the origins of the disease. It was stated in the first season. If you remember, he was NEVER afraid of Walkers and knew how to easily manipulate them before anyone else did and he even knew that everyone on the planet was already infected. If we trace the timeline, that was before the CDC knew. And why was he detained at the temporary hospital in the first place? It was even stated in his character Wiki that he knew more about the virus than anyone else at the time. I think that should be further explored.
Personally I like the idea that it came from outer space, especially if it was spores. Panspermia and where did the spores originate from. You could really get into it and have it go down an alien franchise sort of route. Not space exploration but figuring out where they came from, etc.
"Space spore" is also a bit of a callback to the 1968 original 'Night of the Living Dead'; in that flick, scientists theorized that the zombies are because of radiation from a space probe that exploded in Earth's atmosphere on its way back from Venus. It's also a reference to 'The Andromeda Strain', both the book by Michael Crichton and the film.
@@jaimemedina4577 I agree. But Kirkman did say it’s the same world. I’m thinking of Nick watching the plane on the first day....and Walter watching the plane crash. Also Nicks gf was the first zombie and they were smoking meth... There’s gotta be some connection there- there’s gotta be
@@1o1beauty i would only accept this if Breaking Bad had just a snippet of any Zombie activity or even a mention of a character from TWD . But it doesn't and never will unfortunately cause I do like the theory
@@jaimemedina4577 breaking bad is in the same universe merle has the blue meth in his saddle bags in TWD s1 and in FTWD they where playing the ballad of Heisenberg at the market so BB is a prequel to TWD so it would make sense to not see zombies in BB but see that it was the meth that Jesse Pinkman altered that caused it to happen.
In the original, 1968 "Night of the Living Dead", if you listen to the radio broadcasts, you'll hear a quick blurb about how scientists found something "odd" on the Venus probe coming back to Earth and they blew it up.
@@Skypost4ever yea and it doesn't even make sense. So rick also dreamed about the charachters internal crisises, private conversations, origins/background stories? It's not like Rick was in every twd scene. What about tyreese and carols episodes with the kids. Did He dream about that too while not even taking part in that dream? Very dumb theory
In an interview at the end one of the early issues of the comic Kirkman said "I had always assumed it takes place in the romero universe" if that's the case it was a satelight with a radioactive payload that exploded In the atmosphere (from the news report in night of the living dead) the bite doesn't spread it but instead causes a fatal infection that can't be treated because of a lack of active medical facilities.
@Arturo Henrik Land of the Walking Dead established that no matter how you died, you came back as a Zombie also. They showed that by the guy who committed suicide by hanging himself coming back
Night of the Living Dead never said it was radiation from space that cause the outbreak. There was a news report about it possibly being radiation from space. People were scrabbling to find an answer. Romero never wanted that as THE definitive reason. It was meant to be ambiguous.
In NotLD, scientists theorize that the reanimations are occurring due to radiation from a space probe that exploded in Earth's atmosphere on the way back from Venus.
@Arturo Henrik It's because of people like you people think TWD is the first to have zombies that exist on a plane where you have only to die to turn, which is a lie. *Night of he Living Dead* was first. Quit perpetrating these lies.
That's the only version I'd watch lol. I'm not into random zombies appearing out of nowhere, here's some gore, or in post-apocalypse humans turning on each other, here's some gore. The contained story of normalcy to appearance to discovery, research, outbreak, and ultimately losing control with a bad ending would be actually interesting to me.
Right. After a season or so, the show gets repetitive and ludicrous. I only kept watching cause I liked Rick's character. A pre - TWD would be great though.
I have a short story in my collection that is post apocalypse. It is sixty years after the war. It started with civil unrest and riots, followed by 3 pandemics, each worse than those before. Finally, a scientist named Ray Wilder developed an airborne retrovirus that actually STRENGTHENED the hosts. Unfortunately, it eventually mutated and pesticide resistant insects caused world wide famine. The US eventually developed crops that resisted the insects but it was too late. Other nations demanded the United States SHARE it's food supplies (since Wilder, sponsored by the US, created the retro virus that had CAUSED the famine), but were denied. That's when the missiles were launched. The Wilder virus continued to mutate, carrying genetics from species to species. Spiders the size of ponies were not unheard of. One isolationist island conducts a lottery during lean years to cut down the population. The story centers on a young man seeking to escape the island and survive. (Thanks - author Steve Witcpalek)
In my novels, the zombies are caused by necromancy and feeding on living creatures keeps them from totally decomposing. Heck, they'll even eat other 'walkers'!
Man-made...in space lol What if it was a virus that astronaut scientists were secretly creating and working on, on the I.S.S. and they were bringing it back to earth and something malfunctioned and the spores were released, or some spores accidentally hitched a ride on the astronaut(s) and it like rapidly mutated once in Earths atmosphere in order to survive in an "alien" environment? It can still be man-made, and from space. Win-win! Lol
I always liked the theory that it was made by a pharmaceutical company so that they’d make people sick and then charge high prices for the cure so they could make more money but the virus got out of hand and nobody can cure it
I recommend the following zombie experience for any fans of this genre; Autumn, a book by David Moody and FEED trilogy by Mira Grant. Both are original zombie outbreak books. Both are brilliant.
I've read FEED trilogy, awesome story and not yet read Autumn although that's in my list. Have you read Haters? I've only read book one but it's amazing, not zombies but something else just as scary.
Fun facts: Kirkman was originally pitched the walking dead visual novel with the concept of outer space alien that turn human into zombie (or something like that), in hope to appeal to the publisher back then. But when it finally approved, Kirkman true intention was to focus on the surviving the post-Apocalypse zombie world aspects all along. So in away, Kirkman "scammed" the publisher, but it turned out to be a hit.
Oh yeah like the Rick Grimes movies are going to happen. They already effed up the entire story arc. Seriously one the best shows on TV and the writers and creators turned it into a daytime soap. Such a pity.
Couldn't Kirkman just be playing into the space joke, by making the military character say "he heard" that it was from space. As if he himself read the tweet and now is going to tell everyone, a tongue in cheek way of saying how he heard something from a reputable source, but it could be fake anyway.
I think it started as a faulty flu vaccine. My reason for this is cause the sister show 'Fear the Walking Dead' is set at the beginning of the zombie epidemic and starts around flu season, I could tell cause some characters say a flus going around and there's posters reminding people to get their flu shot.
Zombies aren't everything during a zombie apocalypse. People are also a threat too. You can't tell me that you expect everyone to just trust and not kill each other. There are gon a people out there who will kill others, either out of desperation or just cause they can. Like Negan and the Saviors.
The audio drama "we're alive" keeps the zombies evolving with the story, they eventually have to deal with other humans but the zombies are always a threat. It started in 2009 so early recordings sound kainda weird. But story wise its good. The zombies are freaky af, they run too.
Romero hinted to radiation from a 'Venus probe' as the thing that caused the zombie outbreak. NOTLD was filmed in 1967. The Andromeda Strain was published in 1969, so the Romero reference came before that.
The publisher told Kirkman that the premise of TWD was "too normal" so Kirkman just told the publisher that maybe the virus was caused by aliens, which is how he convinced them to publish it in the first place, and then he just never addressed that point.
The Space Theory actually goes deeper - when Kirkman pitched the idea, the publishers didn't want to make just another zombie story, so he lied and said the Zombies where caused by aliens. There's even a non-canon comic short where Rick wakes up from his coma to find the other characters fighting aliens.
George R. Romero originally created the comet virus created zombies trope. Before him zombies were created by voodoo. His version were ghouls that were resurrected from the grave. Therefore modern zombies are a mixture of a revenant and a ghoul.
really doubt the whole virus from space thing was supposed to be anything more than a nod to George A Romero and the first night of the living dead movie....
Well, since "Night of the Living Dead" (The granddaddy of them all) kind of hints that the zombie virus came from space, I have no problem with the explanation.
In TWD they(Rick) got told in the CDC that everyone Carrie's the virus which activates once they die. But what they didn't explain if this was a dormant virus which finally woke up or if it was a pathogen that escaped a Bio Lab.
Such a clear reference to the original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD I'm surprised Adam didn't see it. That outbreak started with a crashed probe that returned from Venus
I think it’s mostly that zombies aren’t like us, we understand pain. We know when something hurts and when to stop. I’m sure most humans could push past certain limits if pain wasn’t in the picture. So that’s my assumption. Zombies don’t have that same thing were it hurts. So it makes them able to do stuff like that I guess. I could be wrong, but I would like to hear your opinion on it. So I can understand your point of view a bit more.
I used to have a theory that everyone has an inert, unsympathetic version of the virus that when you die, becomes activated. Whereas if you get bitten by someone that already has the activated version, that virus will thus be activated in you, explaining how you become zombie when die normally and also when simply bitten/scratched by a walker.
In the very first episode when ricks wife Laurie is getting the kids into the car behind her in the distance there is a huge black cloud that looked like it came from the sky. I always thought that meant something
I know what you mean but they filmed it in georgia and that just kind of happens here. It'll be sunny one second and a deluge the next so i think that was just background thing
When he (kirkman) created the comic he said he told image that aliens were going to be in the book and the reason for the virus. He later told image that he lied about the aliens just to get the book published.

@@superstrigoi on that note if everyone is infected with the virus what are they really fighting for....it's like surviving just to become a zombie in the end!🤷🏾♂️
@@davidwilkinson3509 They are surviving because that's what we do; we survive as much as we can and make changes to our lifestyles to survive better (clothes instead of fur, cooking meat instead of eating raw, farming instead of foraging, etc.)
@@davidwilkinson3509 that’s like saying “well we’re all going to die someday so why are we living now” the only real threat from this virus is when you die you turn into a zombie so there is no reason they can’t rebuild society and just change the methods in which we pay respect to the dead like just kill the human brain then burry them like normal. Kill all the zombies, kill all the scum bag humans then reform civilization, there is no reason to stop living unless you just don’t care and want to die
@@deonballard8244 I think the radiation flare idea was in Night of the Comet, whereas NOTLD had radiation on an incoming space probe/satellite that was headed back to earth but was detonated before it could actually land. Here's the thing, though. Even if the infection came from space spores, that doesn't say just when the spores would've arrived, how many might've arrived, or if they were inert at the time of arrival before something served to activate them. If I were going to justify the space spore theory as being the case, I'd set the time of impact back in the mid-to-late 20th century with a meteor impact, or even a series of meteor impacts. All kinds of debris getting kicked up into the air, billions of spores sent flying for miles where they could be breathed in by others unknowingly, just laying dormant until something served to trigger them.
It could be that after all that time in vacuum once it reached earth it propagated until it permeated the air that we breathe, as in, like, all of it, to the point where everyone is infected from the moment they breathe it in.
Maybe the implication is that once it made it to earth, it went airborne and infected everybody. The Doctor at the CDC did tell Rick that they were all infected.
How disappointing. I always liked the theory how cryogenics would have been responsible. When they revived someone from being frozen using the enzymes to rebuild their body after freezing, that would cause a mutation of one of the person's genes into the virus itself, being asymptomatic, and transmissable while the person was alive, and after the person passed they would revive.
The zombie outbreak came from another dimension. That's how they were able to feature major characters from this show in the canon lore of the card game Magic The Gathering, a game that features multiple dimensions
I remember the CDC scientist admitting that "everybody has it".
Facts!!
That was my thought. So if it came from space, how does everyone have it already?
Well yeah. Thats why it doesnt matter how you die.
@@MaxDeckard Yep!
But we don't know how true that is. The CDC has done their research, and they have come to that conclusion, but who knows if there are other people out there that aren't infected, or immune.

My girlfriend and I discuss apocalyptic scenarios sometimes and whenever zombies come up we always hit a wall with suspension of disbelief because realistically without water to drink and subject to the weather and elements, rotting zombies would not be an issue after one month, which is incidentally the plot of 28 days later.
But if it is from out of space who knows what it can do to our anatomy I mean the universe is infinite, the viruses might be made of elements we can't even comprehend which allow the body to stay together as it multiplies in the host, in twd we see the zombies bite through denim jeans wich normal humans can't do so it definitely alters our anatomy.
A "28 Days Later" with a "Rage.Virus" that makes people insane (Biogenetic engineering of a virus.) might be possible, but it taking seconds was idiotic.
It could be airborne, but a few hours to day is much more likely than "5 seconds to Instant Psycho" like the movie says.
The Dead are dead. A corpse rots. Muscles move because they have energy. How is a nonbeating heart, and rotting muscle and flesh providing energy?
It's preposterous, and you know it. A story can have it though, that's why it's "fiction".
Whether that fiction works, and you have a believable story is another thing.
I didn't know how fast Corpses rotted but I know it didn't really take long, so this has been a thing on my mind for awhile. I figure they could probably explain it as something to do with the effects of the virus trying to keep the host alive long enough to infect multiple new hosts. I don't know if that would be a good enough answer for most so they just don't talk about it. Ooooh 28 days later sounds interesting then I have to take a look at it myself
The walkers aren't exactly dead, their brains are still working so this maybe slowing down the rotting
@@nickehleg2023 that's definitely possible
TBH, space spores would at least be more refreshing than a company making a bio-weapon/medical thing gone wrong and broken out.

@@nancyjones6780 yeah. Except when you do some research and cut through the fear porn, you'll find Covid is just an overhyped common cold. The world shut down over nothing. Yes, ppl died. But the numbers were very low, esp in the US. Masks don't do jack to stop viruses. The "experts" never ran clinical trials to show what type of mask material would work to keep the virus out.

What I'm curious about is if the virus infected everyone at the exact same time, or if it gradually infected everyone.

@@PhyllisBennettNana how old were you back then ?
When Kirkman was shopping the comic series around, no companies were interested. Until he told Image Comics that "...aliens did it."
They were intrigued. They gave the books a chance.
Then, the EIC at Image asked Kirkman when the aliens would appear, he said something along the lines of "next chapter. Or the next after that, depend of the story progression."
And Kirkman successfully held off the issue for long enough that the series no longer needed the "aliens" angle.
@Muin's Corner.
Image Comics are excellent, and there's Dark Horses too. I don't understand why Marvel and DC are still leading the Comic sector. I'm certainly got fed up with the over-exploited Superhero franchise. Nearly every superfreak is a kind of Messiah, and their stereotype nemesis a Satan. The apocalyptic Zombie concept is 60 years old but still doesn't bore.
Hence, "space spore"

Point is, they can burn millions of dollars in development and slap that shit on shelves because they know it'll sell. Now try that with, say, Astro Boy, Ghost, Hellboy or The Mask.

So it was aliens!
During the first season, there was a webisode where someone turned into a zombie while on board an airplane
Dude. 48 seconds is all you needed to do this. So he took George Romero’s explanation.
So, it’s aliens? Well..that sucks.
And then people wondered why George A considered Kirkman a hack.
To be fair he said aliens so the comic would get picked up
Yes thats exactly right. In Night of the Living Dead it is hinted that the Gouls were caused by radiation from a spacecraft that had visited Venus and destroyed before it arrived at Earth because of the High levels of radiation
@@Fiendishfoe666 Was there anyone who ever did a work of zombie fiction that Romero didn't consider a hack?
Kirkman also pitched the story of the walking dead to image comic with aliens in it but the aliens never came. He said it in many interviews. Image comic wasn’t interested in a zombie comic book so he added the aliens to convince them and they said yes.

I don’t think he’ll ever reveal what started it, which I’m fine with, because I like not knowing. But I think it was just a fun Easter egg. I didn’t even realize it till I rewatched the episode.
Just added a comment saying pretty much the same thing. Turns out I'm not making things up, after all.
Now, just to confirm: there was a kinda funny comic story referencing aliens and an invasion that was published in a Nth Special Edition, right?
Yeah, I honestly think that knowing what the virus actually is would kinda ruin the fun of the show.
Exactly
Robert kirkman made it as an homage The George Romero night of the living Dead reference of that zombie apocalypse being caused by something from space

Yes. In Night of the Living Dead it was radiation from the Venus probe.
“ Little girl, don’t be afraid… of the Colt Python .45” - Sheriff Grimes
44. not 45. Rick seems to have infinite rounds for such a niche gun.
A potential storyline that was abandoned stated that Strand from Fear The Walking Dead knew of the origins of the disease. It was stated in the first season. If you remember, he was NEVER afraid of Walkers and knew how to easily manipulate them before anyone else did and he even knew that everyone on the planet was already infected. If we trace the timeline, that was before the CDC knew. And why was he detained at the temporary hospital in the first place? It was even stated in his character Wiki that he knew more about the virus than anyone else at the time. I think that should be further explored.

Sounds like a variation on the great sci-fi classic The Andromeda Strain...
Also Night of the Living Dead. Well, its never confirmed but the outbreak coincided with an irratiated satellite falling back to Earth. :-/
....why does this ring a bell that I can't put my finger on????
Didn't think the remake was as bad as everyone thought also....
Same theory was mentioned in Shaun of the Dead.
Space Spore. There saved you 5 minutes
"Space spore" is also a bit of a callback to the 1968 original 'Night of the Living Dead'; in that flick, scientists theorized that the zombies are because of radiation from a space probe that exploded in Earth's atmosphere on its way back from Venus. It's also a reference to 'The Andromeda Strain', both the book by Michael Crichton and the film.
That’s exactly what I just wrote before seeing this post
Andromeda strain had zero to do with zombies and literally jack ahit to do with this show.

Yes, because everyone smoke meth and hate breathing.
Even in dead island there’s an NPC that says “I heard it came from space, came down on a meteor”
I can’t wrap my head around the fact that being bit causes you turn. But not getting blood in your eyes or in a wound 🤷🏻 makes no sense to me.
Everyone's infected. The bite turns you into a zombie by killing you through sepsis.
In the original, 1968 "Night of the Living Dead", if you listen to the radio broadcasts, you'll hear a quick blurb about how scientists found something "odd" on the Venus probe coming back to Earth and they blew it up.
In Night of the Living Dead, it was also theorized that space was the origin of the outbreak. Interesting.

In an interview at the end one of the early issues of the comic Kirkman said "I had always assumed it takes place in the romero universe" if that's the case it was a satelight with a radioactive payload that exploded In the atmosphere (from the news report in night of the living dead) the bite doesn't spread it but instead causes a fatal infection that can't be treated because of a lack of active medical facilities.
@Arturo Henrik Land of the Walking Dead established that no matter how you died, you came back as a Zombie also. They showed that by the guy who committed suicide by hanging himself coming back
Night of the Living Dead never said it was radiation from space that cause the outbreak. There was a news report about it possibly being radiation from space. People were scrabbling to find an answer. Romero never wanted that as THE definitive reason. It was meant to be ambiguous.
One of the Kirkman interviews is in a 2004 wizard magazine either issue 157 or 158 I don't have them infront of me to check for sure
In NotLD, scientists theorize that the reanimations are occurring due to radiation from a space probe that exploded in Earth's atmosphere on the way back from Venus.
@Arturo Henrik It's because of people like you people think TWD is the first to have zombies that exist on a plane where you have only to die to turn, which is a lie. *Night of he Living Dead* was first. Quit perpetrating these lies.

@@amouramarieadd to what happened to the WHO in France when they were at the edge of a cure but the building self-destructed
I have a short story in my collection that is post apocalypse. It is sixty years after the war. It started with civil unrest and riots, followed by 3 pandemics, each worse than those before. Finally, a scientist named Ray Wilder developed an airborne retrovirus that actually STRENGTHENED the hosts. Unfortunately, it eventually mutated and pesticide resistant insects caused world wide famine. The US eventually developed crops that resisted the insects but it was too late. Other nations demanded the United States SHARE it's food supplies (since Wilder, sponsored by the US, created the retro virus that had CAUSED the famine), but were denied. That's when the missiles were launched. The Wilder virus continued to mutate, carrying genetics from species to species. Spiders the size of ponies were not unheard of. One isolationist island conducts a lottery during lean years to cut down the population. The story centers on a young man seeking to escape the island and survive. (Thanks - author Steve Witcpalek)

Nope, CDC Scientist said on the later seasons that it started from France, mayhaps with space spore too.
Fun facts: Kirkman was originally pitched the walking dead visual novel with the concept of outer space alien that turn human into zombie (or something like that), in hope to appeal to the publisher back then. But when it finally approved, Kirkman true intention was to focus on the surviving the post-Apocalypse zombie world aspects all along. So in away, Kirkman "scammed" the publisher, but it turned out to be a hit.
Oh yeah like the Rick Grimes movies are going to happen. They already effed up the entire story arc. Seriously one the best shows on TV and the writers and creators turned it into a daytime soap. Such a pity.
They did the same thing with Game of thrones, the later seasons were incredibly poorly written.
Watch the 1972 film, "The Andromeda Strain", and pay special attention to the ending. It's all right there.
Couldn't Kirkman just be playing into the space joke, by making the military character say "he heard" that it was from space. As if he himself read the tweet and now is going to tell everyone, a tongue in cheek way of saying how he heard something from a reputable source, but it could be fake anyway.
I think it started as a faulty flu vaccine. My reason for this is cause the sister show 'Fear the Walking Dead' is set at the beginning of the zombie epidemic and starts around flu season, I could tell cause some characters say a flus going around and there's posters reminding people to get their flu shot.

Zombies aren't everything during a zombie apocalypse. People are also a threat too. You can't tell me that you expect everyone to just trust and not kill each other. There are gon a people out there who will kill others, either out of desperation or just cause they can. Like Negan and the Saviors.
You can't expect a series just about zombies, what would they do? Just run every episode?
Well, that's because it's a zombie apocalypse show, do you not expect other people to be a threat, too??🤔🤔🤔
"The Walking Dead", or, "How to kill your neighbors and feel good about it." This show is trash
The audio drama "we're alive" keeps the zombies evolving with the story, they eventually have to deal with other humans but the zombies are always a threat. It started in 2009 so early recordings sound kainda weird. But story wise its good. The zombies are freaky af, they run too.
It might be a reference to the Night of the Living Dead where the zombies were created by radiation from space
Romero hinted to radiation from a 'Venus probe' as the thing that caused the zombie outbreak. NOTLD was filmed in 1967. The Andromeda Strain was published in 1969, so the Romero reference came before that.
The publisher told Kirkman that the premise of TWD was "too normal" so Kirkman just told the publisher that maybe the virus was caused by aliens, which is how he convinced them to publish it in the first place, and then he just never addressed that point.
(actually did, but it was a non canon joke bonus to issue 75 that was drawn by "Invincible" comic book artist)
THERES AN EPISODE OF A MAN ON A PLANE WITH A BAD STOMACH WHO TURNED INTO A ZOMBIE IN FEAR
*The walking dead turns into an alien show* this would actually bring the ratings back to the walking dead.
The Space Theory actually goes deeper - when Kirkman pitched the idea, the publishers didn't want to make just another zombie story, so he lied and said the Zombies where caused by aliens. There's even a non-canon comic short where Rick wakes up from his coma to find the other characters fighting aliens.
George R. Romero originally created the comet virus created zombies trope. Before him zombies were created by voodoo. His version were ghouls that were resurrected from the grave. Therefore modern zombies are a mixture of a revenant and a ghoul.
really doubt the whole virus from space thing was supposed to be anything more than a nod to George A Romero and the first night of the living dead movie....
Agreed
Well, since "Night of the Living Dead" (The granddaddy of them all) kind of hints that the zombie virus came from space, I have no problem with the explanation.
The French researchers who tried to find a "magical cure" magically made it worse 💀
In TWD they(Rick) got told in the CDC that everyone Carrie's the virus which activates once they die. But what they didn't explain if this was a dormant virus which finally woke up or if it was a pathogen that escaped a Bio Lab.

Can someone explain how a decomposing zombie suddenly gets supper monkey strength and can tear into a person stomach with their bare hands?!
I think it’s mostly that zombies aren’t like us, we understand pain. We know when something hurts and when to stop. I’m sure most humans could push past certain limits if pain wasn’t in the picture. So that’s my assumption. Zombies don’t have that same thing were it hurts. So it makes them able to do stuff like that I guess. I could be wrong, but I would like to hear your opinion on it. So I can understand your point of view a bit more.
I think when the military guy said it was from space was just an inside joke to the fans who know what’s going on
I used to have a theory that everyone has an inert, unsympathetic version of the virus that when you die, becomes activated. Whereas if you get bitten by someone that already has the activated version, that virus will thus be activated in you, explaining how you become zombie when die normally and also when simply bitten/scratched by a walker.

Here's the thing, though. Even if the infection came from space spores, that doesn't say just when the spores would've arrived, how many might've arrived, or if they were inert at the time of arrival before something served to activate them.
If I were going to justify the space spore theory as being the case, I'd set the time of impact back in the mid-to-late 20th century with a meteor impact, or even a series of meteor impacts. All kinds of debris getting kicked up into the air, billions of spores sent flying for miles where they could be breathed in by others unknowingly, just laying dormant until something served to trigger them.
It could be that after all that time in vacuum once it reached earth it propagated until it permeated the air that we breathe, as in, like, all of it, to the point where everyone is infected from the moment they breathe it in.
Maybe the implication is that once it made it to earth, it went airborne and infected everybody. The Doctor at the CDC did tell Rick that they were all infected.
Bro 2:20 into a 5 min video and your still not explaining anything.
How disappointing. I always liked the theory how cryogenics would have been responsible. When they revived someone from being frozen using the enzymes to rebuild their body after freezing, that would cause a mutation of one of the person's genes into the virus itself, being asymptomatic, and transmissable while the person was alive, and after the person passed they would revive.
The zombie outbreak came from another dimension. That's how they were able to feature major characters from this show in the canon lore of the card game Magic The Gathering, a game that features multiple dimensions
