I think it’s kinda a shame how far zombies got from their source material
Don’t get me wrong, I like the way that they evolve over time reflects the fears of the people in that time period, but I still wish there was more of a connection to its source
So (this is just a really quick recap but I encourage everyone to go read up on more of it), zombies originated from Haiti (specifically Haitian slaves), and they weren’t violent, they were corpses reanimated against their will to continue being slaves, and the fear surrounding them was about becoming one, having your restful sleep stolen from you, and not being able to have that peace in death because of some jackass with magic
And yeah nowadays there’s a fear in being bitten, but idk, it’s less about the fear of becoming part of the horde and more about the fear of being torn apart by the horde, it’s not like how werewolves agonize over being werewolves, and I think it should be more like werewolves
Like even when a person has been bitten and is slowly becoming a zombie, it’s not really framed from their perspective of the fear of losing themselves and not being able to rest in peace, it’s always framed from the perspective of their loved one coming to terms that they may have to kill them to protect themselves
“Oh hell is full so that’s why the dead roam the earth” those are good people!!! who had their eternal rest robbed from them!!!!
I just. I just wish that killing a zombie was more about having mercy on them

Explaining your reasoning and arguing your side is highly encouraged
(Also this would be more fun with a larger sample size so reblogs are appreciated)

in the scene where the zombies hear that man singing, greta is saying “i suppose that’s dinner” right ? 😭😭 because the subtitles said something about oxygen and i had to rewind
Oh dear god. I think the exact line is "Well... I suppose that's dinner".
It's embarrassing. Sorry.

As Joel faces Clickers for the first time in the show, hopefully we’ll find how whose side he’s on…
Bottle or brick? (Poll!)
