The end of the Walking Dead apocalypse is inevitable. No, not because Rick and his buddies are heroes come to save the day. But rather, because nature must runs its course. These walking corpses are doomed to an inevitable fate, and their expiration dates may be sooner than you'd expect.

I just imagine some guy from the walking dead staff watching this video and then going to the rest of the team like "guys
we have a problem"
Walking Dead Lead Writer 1: "We need to get Rick to Alaska, FAST"
Walking Dead Lead Writer 2: "But how?"
Walking Dead Lead Writer 1: "MAGIC"
Walking Dead Lead Writer 2: " Okay he's there now what do we do?"
Walking Dead Lead Writer 1: " Make the next season be a day long."
Walking dead writer 1: Ok, we're on season 27 can we end it yet?
Walking dead writer 2: Nah, let's move them to Antartica for 33 more seasons
Walking Dead Lead Writer 1: "How long should they be then?"
Walking Dead Lead Writer 2: "Go for about 5 seconds."
Walking Dead Lead Writer 1: "Let's make a Nuke detonate giving Rick, his teammates, and the Zom...err...Walker's INSANE QUICKSILVER SUPERPOWER and then make each episode on the Universe's timing about 10 second's"
Walking Dead Lead Writer 2: "But how?"
Walking Dead Lead Writer 1: "FURTHER MAGIC"
Matpat: "One month to go and the zombies'll be gone!"
6 Year Timeskip: "I'm gonna ruin this man's career."
Master Procrastinator well he’s only talking about the zombies from the first season
@@Stormkrow280 ....hi
Kyle Valentine hi
Kyle Valentine ok
@@Stormkrow280 nice picture
Mat pat: makes this video
AMC: jumps ahead 6 years in season 9
Mat pat: am I a joke to you?
Yes
Well he’s talking about the zombies in the earlier seasons of the show, he’s not counting humans becoming zombies over the seasons
Laurids no that’s not true.. we only know about America but there are more survivors in other lands to! Some walkers maybe walk from an other land just like some survivors. I mean like- America won’t be the only land with survivors! So there will be new zombies every day
Ondras Cel Ungur uhmm- these are not the only places on earth🙄😒
@@annexious2298 Watch the video maybe...? 2:39
MatPat in 2016: Only a little over a month
TWD in 2020: *Multiple years of time skips*
IlOgiCal LogIC
Problem is he's trying to apply actual science to science fiction. I thought he was estimating due to some plot results or something. Ugh.
Based Bear we’ll yeah
Also season 11 part 2 is around the corner
@@basedbear1605 he is, a part of the plot is showing the zombies rotting in front of them 💀
Season 9's 6-year time jump basically just disproved this theory.
Edgar Rivera that’s exactly what I was like! I was seeing if anyone else noticed
It does not disprove it, it proves that if a show has good ratings they will keep going on even of they stop following their original logic and or plans
@@Debble except it doesn't have good ratings unfortunately
yep
Agreed about the theory being disproved
Another small detail that may go along with this theory: If you look at the title "The Walking Dead" throughout the seasons, you'll see that the title begins to decay more and more over the seasons
+Tom Bear You are fucking everywere Woof,Gt,Stimpy
+Tom Bear wolf not far
+World Patriot oh ffs
thank you tom bear, you are a beautiful bear.
Ha I didn't notice that, I did notice that in Breaking Bad when I binged it last year on Netflix.
This is such a solid theory. It annoys me no end that the zombies are still zombie-ing around a decade later.
Same
Not everyone died in the same day. People who die later on in the apocalypse would still have to decompose within the 30 day period. More herds = later deaths
“Rosita you guessed it tears the skin off
It’s Tara R.I.P
What a dumbass
she big dead
Right?!
Ikr
They looked the same to me for a while
True ending: Everyone dies except for Carl who turns into a coral reef
Jazz Master 😂😂😂😂
Jazz Master god damnit xd

Logan Benda umm Glenn was killed in Alexandria he was beat to death by a baseball bat

he if Ted
“Slowing down the timeline.” *jumps 6 years*
EXACTLY
Matpat: they have 2 years left
Judith: *laughs in being 10 years old by season 10*
Ain't no way there's even still zombies left. How many have we killed by now
@@samuri1887 probably like 35k? There are still billions of zombies
The thing that bugs me is that the writers ignore the realistic decomposition, and yet they clearly show the walkers getting skinnier and wasting away over time!
At some point they just decided they wanted twd to be resident evil 😂
Am I only one who noticed that he called Tara rosita at 5:48
Nope
yh I noticed 2
I noticed
+Kate11289 I heard that too. I just commented on it right before I saw your post. Funny. I thought this guy said he watches the show carefully! he doesn't even know Tara's name.
I noticed too
You should like.. Teach history class.. or math.. you always just make is so fun and interesting
That's because he's always throwing in puns Lol
He kinda is.. showing us how to solve and loading our brain with info
ikr if my current maths teacher would be kicked and matt would be the new teacher i would say that my favorite class is math. Well though my parents would kill me cuz i would tell them what matt teached me today for like 20 minutes every day xD
rip english
The biggest problem is that youtube lets him be fun
7 Years later, the show has spinoff shows, and I'd love to see a series dedicated to the science-fiction of TWD.
3:59 **starts naming off metal bands**
😂
How has the show been going for 1 and a half years when Carl went from looking 10 to being 18?
lol it hasnt been 1 and a half years. It been 7 years
***** IKR
NIxJammy - They can't do shit about that, plot hole, but it's been a year and a half, lori's pregnancy and judith is 9-12 months too so....
I'm sure they're going to do a year jump or 2 after season 7 hopefully
they just dont want COORAL to be replaced and i think he went from 8 to 14 really but that's my opinion! DONT GET TRIGGERED!!
Recently there was an anthrax outbreak in Russia due to a reindeer that had died 70 years ago during an outbreak and had been frozen in permafrost until it thawed modern day. Zombies in colder climates could be preserved for 100+ years to unleash another outbreak on future generations that have forgotten of their crazy grandparent's stories.
yikes!
Dude!
Yes! that is correct! actually, correct me if I'm wrong; but climate change will be held responsible for bringing ancient diseases
So basically Game of thrones?
nice one
Who's here after season 11 was announced as the final season?
I’ve got a problem with mat pat reducing the 270 days to a month due to the 8x acceleration rate because he already based his math on the rate the zombies were already decomposing which already includes the 8x rate. The only difference in decomposition rates would be temperature.
After playing Plague Inc., I'm sure that Greenland and Madagascar are the safest places to live in an apocalypse.
MatPat needs to do a theory on Plague Inc on Game Theory.
Haha Ikr!!!😂😂😂
+Kitty Kiss Not true if you remember the doctor saying EVERYONE is infected then go to an island and all you need is 1 person to die and kill everyone like in the prison that guy that died in the shower and killed 50% the prison.
Also on a island it maybe already failed because it did have people living on it befoor the outbreak and maybe someone died there to and no one was informated about the virus everyone has.
on Madagascar its maybe possible because no one lived there befoor and its empty with a small group u can maybe survive but still the guy in the shower. (wouldnt there be more than 1 person to think of this in a zombie apocalypse? and maybe someone brings a bitten one with them a dumb as that didnt wanna say he was bitten)
+VillagerPlays I was making a joke because in the game Plague Inc. the 2 hardest places to get infected usually are Madagascar and Greenland.
+Kitty Kiss lol he must have spent ages writing that. U ruined his day not gunna lie
The most terrible theory:
Rick wakes up out of his coma and realizes it was all just a dream.
And his friend was actually screwing his wife.
actually, there is an episode where andrea runs from the governor and hides inside a building. in one scene you can see a "it's all a dream" sprayed on an wall. hint ?!
the creator of the walking dead comics has come out and said no rick is NOT in a coma deeaming and that it is all very really
I hope it doesn't end🤔😭😡😤👎
that's one long ass dream
“Zombies are decomposing”
10 or so years after the outbreak: Still 1 million zombies over every hill you climb
I remember doing these calculations and coming to this conclusion when I was over thinking the zombie apocalypse when I was 13
So going someplace colder is a BAD idea. GODDAMNIT CLEMENTINE!!!
Bolt Fantasticated lol
Actually, a colder climate would be a good since zombies are dead and don't produce body heat. You get below freezing and problem solved.
Grif's (RvB) zombie plan begs to differ.
Grif's an idiot, Sarge told me so!
If you like Pina Colada
Plot twist: when the apocalypse is almost over, someone gets bit and starts the colander all over again
Calander*
+Erika plus they all carry the virus when someone dies more walkers
Yeah like, when everyone dies, it's gonna be the same over again
+Erika Goyes but majority of the walkers will be gone over 7 billions of them i assume, they won't have to deal with huge hordes
when those who are infected die they just stab the brain stem to prevent reanimation
Also if they’re decomposing then they shouldn’t be able to rip apart people’s skin
@Jesus Christ shouldn't you already know that?
O wait ur jesus right ur giving us hint hail jesus christ
Praise the lord
Watching this 7 years later is funnny.
I still say that the show is gonna end with a mind fuck, Rick wakes up from his coma, end of series.
That does seem unlikely but awesome
Kirkman said it wasn't going to happen that way.
That's exactly what I think will happen and all the people will work at the hospital or something
That would be awesome, yes, but there is no way that's going to happen
+Xander i'd be content with that, at least no one died
The Walking Dead will end like this: And then the young 11 year old boy Rick woke up in his bed after a horrible nightmare.
+Jack Charles Fowler You ever heard of "Fear The Walking Dead" ? It takes place when the outbreak of the virus happens when rick is in a coma.
+Zysepニック did the fear the walking dead happen when rick was 11? no read the comment again
+Finnish Viking He meant that the apocalypse is happening because "Fear the Walking Dead" is in the same universe meaning that it is not a coma or a dream but actually happening
+Jack Charles Fowler They will rename the show LOST. Remember that shit!
its real
Dead City laughing in 18 years later after the outbreak
Thought it was 12-13 years later
You guys do realise if there are new zombies, the cycle will start over.
KacpertheGhost took me forever to find this sort of comment, but I’m sure a lot of people are aware of it.
It depends if the new generation are infected or not
Sicne the people commenting here didn't even watch the first fcking season.
It's airborne. Everyone has it. Everyone will have it. It's just that 85% of the entire population died in the first two weeks and so there was a giant mass of zombies. Once they are gone society can be rebuild with a focus on the fact people turn into Zombies through either death or a Zombie Bite which infects the wound with a so far incurable disease that leads to death and deaths leads to Zombie.
Stocks up on cans for the apocalypse forgets can opener
hahahaha
+WolfTamingBeast198 *knife
+WolfTamingBeast198 i dont have a knif what about a dull rock
+oheen abtahi lol
+oheen abtahi don't worry... I'm a DayZ player and can solve that problem
After the walking dead ends, they should make a show about the rebuilding of society and what happens after the walking dead.
Right? Imagine a zombie show 50 years after an outbreak where there are established governments smaller states with a large no man's land filled with zombies and bandits. You can see the difference between the old people who were around before the outbreak and those who grew up in it.
Peepl Yeah it would be so cool
***** Yeah. That would be awesome.
+Anti Nazi there is a book called "FEED" its about society after zombie apocalypse, I really liked it :D
***** Yeah that would be so cool. Maybe a third show would be another walking dead would happen after a government collapse, since there would be no way to take care of the zombies of dead people.
The problem is that while the original zombies have been decomposing, they’ve been adding new zombies to their ranks. Biting people, people just... dying and becoming zombies without being bitten. These newer zombies would be in earlier stages of decomposition, thus filling out the ranks of the zombie horde.
yes but remember that at least 70% of the population was wiped out during the first year. so the numbers of the herds in season 10 and 11 don't add up
Mat: these zombies will be gone in a few months
Me: laughs in season 11 years later
I'm not afraid of the Walking Dead, When they start running thats what really scary!!
I'm afraid of the dead living at all!
@Manuel Camelo lol yeah they will
The Last of Us
28 days later
The dabbing Dead
does he even watch the walking dead i mean he said rosita her name is tara
Ikr
+Gina Stevens-McCracken thats because she is an very important character i even forgot that she existed before watching this video
+Gina Stevens-McCracken Not to mention he said they fled Alexandria...they def did not flee Alexandria...
+Kim Vereen this video was made before the 2nd half of season 6 came out.
+Gina Stevens-McCracken wtf no tara was the black girl
It’s funny I’m watching this now, after 6 years has past and the zombies are still here, and we have the last episode ever coming out next year 😱 and then the movie and also fear the walking dead cuz that’s a thing now
8 years later, the walking dead is on year 12 of the apocalypse and the zombies are still there. great video though!!!
Who else agrees that they pay more attention to MatPat than School.
So California is overrun by Zombies too?
Picture of A Truck me
Me I honestly owe like 83 percent of all my knowledge to matpat Austin it's ridiculous I'm the only person I know below 50 that knows what a half life is
Picture of A Truck to true
Picture of A Truck me
OR they could just keep them alive for another 6 years to keep the fans happy and totally ignore science!
Would you really like a Season in Antartica?
+Agustin Hernandez Would it be bad to say yes?
+Denmark yes
+Agustin Hernandez That will only last the time of the show. (40 minutes an episode)
Denmark In the series, walkers move slower the colder it is, so, Walkers that move 0.00000000001 Mph = Not a good TV Show.
5:50 that’s not Rosita it’s Tara lol 😂
I’m watching this in 2024 (8 years later!) and it’s crazy to see what TWD fans thought back then, and it’s so far off, this franchise has changed so much, and it’s still changing.
5:50 that’s not Rosita, that’s Tara
I literally only came to the comments section to find this comment. It bothered me so much
I was about to write this comment. Thank god someone wrote it for me.
Gorillaz2love same
Gorillaz2love thank god somebody else knew
This guy probably doesn’t even watch the show
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this theory makes 0 sense. For example: If every single zombie just blew up randomly and there was no zombies left, The Walking Dead still couldn't be over; if one person dies of age or sickness, they just become a zombie and bite somebody else and it just restarts the cycle. Please correct me if I missed something.
+BlitzBloodFan But there won't be hordes anymore, because there aren't many living people left. There will only be small numbers of zombies, who will be killed easily by people who are experts in killing zombies.
+Marshall Wilcox yeah it's not
Like someone is dumb enough to (somehow) get a nuke and kill a lot of people but I wonder when people are about to die will they make special hospitals to do that? If they die at home well.....Every home in the world has a pistol at the door lol
Marshall Wilcox Not necessarily true, because if one person in a camp gets sick (like the part in the prison) and gets everyone else in the camp to get infected, that's a quite large horde itself.
Yeah but the ratio of zombies to people won't be 7,000 to 1 anymore for one, and two people will stab their dead thus preventing majority of them from becoming a zombie, and three there won't be anymore hordes
+BlitzBloodFan yes but what when all people of the world die
Something that’s kept me happy during the show is realizing that there’s a limited number of walkers
I think MatPat made a major miscalculation. He said that the remaining 276 days to putrefaction of the brain stem can be divided by 8 to account for accelerated decay due to environmental conditions.
That reduction doesn't make sense mathematically for one simple reason. The majority of the zombies have been exposed to the elements for the entire time they've been zombies. If the elements were going to accelerate decay? It would have ALREADY happened... unless it has.
The virus is clearly slowing the rate of decay considerably. What if the elements are the only reason that they're decayed as far as they are. That would mean the 828 days he estimated for decay already INCLUDES environmental acceleration. It would also mean any zombies that were trapped in an indoor, dry and cool location could last up to 6,624 days. That's over 18 YEARS!
But hey, that's just an analysis.
A Film Theory analysis.
Thanks for reading.
Lol that moment when he really thinks a tv director would use logic
+Frenchican Well if you haven't noticed lot of TV shows have become better than most big hollywood movies. So yes I would say they use logic in some way
+Frenchican wolf not far
+Frenchican you stupid? the director is purposely decaying the zombies.
+Juan Alejos and you know that how?
+phil shou Watch/Read any interviews with the make up artist, Greg Nicotero. He had even done a Q&A where he explains it.
"Q: Tell us about the zombie decomposition that’s happening in Season 3. How are you changing the ways the zombies are portrayed from season to season?
A: Well one thing I always think about and the rest of the crew can attest to is just how grueling the weather is in Georgia. The sun literally will bake you if you stand out in the sun too long. And one day I’m thinking about it and I’m like, “OK, what would happen to these creatures that have no actual ability to protect themselves from the elements?” So you can only imagine how horrible the smell would be, and what we felt it was important to play up is the idea that these things are becoming dried up and disintegrated and leathery.
Q: What new tricks have you come up with for the zombie makeups this year?
A: We’ve been able to do a lot more full-body prosthetics. One thing that I wanted to allow for in Season 3 was, you know, rotted chests and rotted backs. So we sculpted male and female rotted torsos that get glued directly to the performers. And one of the ideas we like playing up was that the walkers, because they are rotting and decomposed, is that they’re sort of putrefying - so if you come in contact with any of them and you slash at them, parts of them might sort of liquefy and come off."

5:53 Rosita!? Come on man.
lol ikr
+Daniel Tran i cried with that...
lol yea i noticed that too rosita is deff hotter lol
😂😂😂😂😂
Lmfaoo word up I said same shit that's Tara not Rosita smh lost credibility
I like how Mat predicts a couple of years of zombies left then amc just says nope we gone go ahead and skip 6 years where the zombies are still chillin
4 years later still hasn't stopped
the zombies aren't a real threat most of the time anyways, it's the humans (governor/negan/claimers/termites)
True, but as the threat of a zombie apocalypse isn't supported by science, there are a type of bacteria that, if they evolve, they could make humans act like zombies!
Or even better, the genus Cordyceps which the game "The Last of Us" is based on could evolve from affecting arthropods to humans.
+Luxinuful Well, someone knows their biological science, huh?
but really none of this matters cuz its a tv show, not real life, they can make whatever they want happen and not go by the laws of life.
Rick is much, much worse than the governor
Subway. Eat flesh
HAH lol
*giggles*
I’m sorry, I’m dying. I can only imagine Kermit saying that....
*sneezes randomly for no reason
I perfer "Zombies, eat flesh!"
5:48 you said the girls name was “Rosita”.her name in the show was actually “Tara”. Looks like matpat was actually wrong about something!
And about everything
Can rotting flesh even be capable of movement when they are decomposing at the cellular level?
Until the muscle hold, yes they can move
The reason why the zombies look more grotesque is because their budget got a huge raise.....
LOOOOOOOLL
+James Tron Yeah that is my thought aswell, though there is something to what he says too :3
+James Tron Buthurt Walking Dead fans.
+James Tron but why would they make the zombies follow the stages of decomposition rather then just stay in one of them?
They've said it themselves, the zombies are slowly decomposing.
Zombies aren't the actual threat, it's society not returning for a long time. The zombies might be gone, but humanity has reverted back to tribes.
+joujou264
So? Eventually people will start to come together for safety. No zombies means an increase in animal predators and an awfully long time without bullet production. People will come together and make technological advances, like what happens during wars. And, assuming there are still people who were around before the outbreak, the idea of a hierarchy, a government, money, etc. isn't foreign. It's something you see them crave and form on their own. They've lived with other humans before, so it won't be hard or an extremely strenuous for them to figure out how to do it again
*****
Some being the key word there. Yes, the Wolves are too far gone to ever become a part of civilization. But...aren't there always people like that? Serial killers, mass murderers...we have that problem TODAY and have been living in civilized society for centuries. However, we saw a ton of people living in harmony at the Prison for what could have potentially been forever. Humanity isn't gone, just certain part of it (like today)
+Unicorn Films The main threat in TWD is the degradation of society and what Rick and Co are willing to sacrifice in order to survive in the new world. Every time they encounter a new threat they slowly degrade into the very thing they fought against(Season 1 Police Officer Rick in comparison to now). Even when Alexandria becomes safe again, even when Negan and the saviors are brought to heel these threats still exist. People are more barbaric because of what they had to go through, Rick and co don't allow people to become weak by shielding them from the world outside of Alexandria. Even the next generation (Carl, Enid) have tremendous physical/emotional scars that would stop them from leading a 'normal' life. It's the world they're in right now.
The enemies that the group encounter further into the story are morally broken depending on how far into the story you are. You're approaching the story without full knowledge of what is about to happen in the series. The Saviors are men ruled by an egomaniac/dictator/insane person, Negan. Most of the citizens that the Saviors have stay with them because they're more scared of trying to survive in the wild than they are of him. Most of the citizens are normal people.
The Whisperers, people that skin walkers and wear their flesh so they can blend into herds and ambush any within their territory. - These are the groups of people you've yet to come across, so your overall assumption on what is going to happen is limited to what the show has shown you.
The entire point of this series is to show how society falls from the grass roots and tries to rebuild what they had. Removing the biggest threat (crazy people) is something the writers wouldn't do. Even now when Hilltop, Alexandria and the Saviors are working together Robert Kirkman is making a threat that is big enough to destroy all 3 communities. They will always create a threat that is bigger than the group can handle, and therefore to say that the entire world will be joining hands by the end of this is completely contradictory with how the story has gone so far. They also create these enemies with the strictest intentions on making them not "insane" per-se, but just highly adapted people that became who they were to survive.
Eugene also makes bullets in All Out War for the war against the Saviors, not for the protection of people against Walkers - further evidence that the series won't give up on its Humans VS Humans story.
BasedPeasant
I haven't read the comics, so I didn't know about future storylines. That's very interesting. However, it's what animals do in cases of danger. They turn on others (every man for himself), but also do what they can to protect their family (continuation of your bloodline). While I'm not undermining the amount of work it would take to rebuild society (look how long it took us to go from warring nomadic tribes to the kind of society we live in now), I'm simply saying it isn't impossible.
Human vs. Human is, has always been, and always will be a _threat_. There is always the instinct to protect yourself and your future bloodline and to do what it takes to make that happen. In our society today, there isn't much threat to us or our children. Everybody is safe and happy and we're the biggest predators. However, if you were to take that safety away, we would end up exactly like Rick and co. as well as future groups that the show hasn't gone into yet. Less "human". To get that safety back, to relearn the behavior that we have now, the behavior of a creature safe from harm, and to learn to calm that instinct because it isn't necessary for our survival, is an incredibly long, hard journey. It just isn't _impossible_. Once you reduce the imminent threat of the Walkers, your biggest threats become other humans (if you can, in fact, manage to secure artillery and weaponry). It would take mutual goals and necessities and _generations_ of people to get back to the kind of society we have now.
*****
A very good point. You have between two minutes and three hours, if memory serves, to destroy the brain before a human turns. Of course, one has to beg the question: are people born AFTER the initial infection safe? Is the virus still in the air or water, or has it dies out? Is it sexually transmitted, passed from mother to child, etc? Nobody knows. There is a chance that after the generations alive during the initial infection die out, that wouldn't be a problem. And, if in fact everyone turns into a host forever, I'm sure destroying the brain shortly after death would become as commonplace as a burial ritual today.
While I am positive that small outbreaks would happen, I'm sure society would figure out how to deal with it. It would become a common practice in life, and it would ensure that the destruction of the brain upon death remained a common practice. It would encourage the sick to seek medical attention and would probably help humanity deal with random shootings and murders, as nobody wants a zombie problem on their hands.
I do agree with the fact that bringing together large amounts of people is dangerous. But, again, I think that people would adapt and learn how to deal with death and destruction of the brain in a timely matter. Gathering people in small communities may even be the way to go, so long as the communities are sustainable by themselves (grow crops, sanitary, etc.) or have trade agreements. Perhaps small communities could all live in a "large community where they're separate but live under the legislature of a mayor, and perhaps these large communities live in a "state" under the legislature of a governor (bad reference, I know, but I'm speaking in terms of a governor in our terms, not the Governor from the show/comics), who live under the legislature of a President. We could have a democratic system similar today, where each large community elects a mayor who may go on to run for the governor of his/her state, who may go on to run for president., ensuring that a president would be equipped to deal with running a country. There would be a "Congress" made up of, say, three representatives from every "state". A judicial system would be left up to the discretion of governors and mayors. Travel between small communities would be fairly easy, though you would have to check in upon entering a community and you must either register a trip lasting overnight/several days (not a hard process, just something you have to alert the mayor/their office to so that they could identify you should something happen) or you must return home by an appropriate curfew hour. Travelling between large communities would be harder, and you would probably need something similar to a flight plan, something all flying vehicles must register in case of an accident today. Travel between states would be similar. Moving wouldn't be too hard, you just have to secure a homestead before leaving your small community.
Wow okay that was incredibly long and boring, I apologize. Just trying to speculate that it's not totally impossible and probably not even improbable.
Laughs in season 11 and 3 spin offs
Aah back after 6 yrs with the walking dead actually ended
It will end with a SKELETON WAR!!!!!!!!!!
SPOOPY, SCARY SKELETONS SEND SHIVERS DOWN YOUR SPINE!
Could you imagine? Lmao
+Slenderspartan OH no, but Papyrus wouldn't be able to kill anyone.......
+Cat Rawrz but sans will have no problem
Papyrus will kick their ass.
It’s now been 8 years in walking dead universe and there still not decayed
MAGIC !
No it's been 5 or 6 years in the show
@im that fortnite god i was talking about how long the apocalypse has been going for on the show not when the show strated
The apocalypse started 2010 and now it is late 2019 or early to mid 2020 about 3600 days.
Every person that dies changes in to a zombie
Back then It was all a joke but now the ending is near
This comment aged poorly 😆
we will have reboots and 3 movies for Rick and only Rick.
And now has.
I'm here after the announcement that the walking dead is officially ending
lol
xde
Why is this guy acting like fresh zombies aren't being created EVERYDAY by new people dying, turning them?
Because it's negligible.There are very few zombies being created.
+Luka “luka000sb” Ravlić How can you say it's negligible? EVERYONE alive WILL DIE and turn. There is no escape, anyone alive is a zombie. The more people that get born, the more zombies there will be. This theory makes NO sense!
+MrAlexanderPwn Their all already infected though. Every human alive is already infected, so the zombies can't go extinct! There is PLENTY of material (the comics are still in print) and they still have KILLER ratings.
+Tankapotamus czcams.com/video/7xEJusROWN4/video.html Here he says that in the first season survivors are few, that means most humans turned in the first 2 months of the outbreak.
Taking out the brain is what i meant
Hey, I have a idea for a episode. If you were to eat the entire Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghotsbusters, discounting how many times you would die of diabetes, how many calories would Stay Puft be.
This will be an episode. I just wrote it down. Expect it as we get closer to summer. Thanks for the suggestion, it's BRILLIANT!
+The Film Theorists kool
+The Film Theorists you mean the walking deaf not the walking dead
+The Film Theorists Huh. Interesting.
+The Film Theorists Might I suggest, if you haven't already, doing a doctor who theory? Like how much power would it take for the tardis to work? or how the sonic screwdriver would work in real life?
I'm so jumpy I literally got jumpscared when you put emphasis on OR because I've been grinding far cry 6 for the summer thanks for the work matpat
Sorry Matt pat but it’s still going to this day Dead city just came out I’m very excited about that 😂
Can you please research how the virus started? That would be an awesome video
by accident
Just look up is a zombie apocalypse possible
Mighty Blue Walter White from Breaking Bad is the guilty, Im not kidding, it was confirmed by Robert Kirkman, search it.
Robert Kirkman said he knew what happened but he’ll never tell anyone but I doubt it the truth always comes out.
David, don't lie. RK never once confirmed that. It's been a running joke amongst themselves for years. It's a joke. Not confirmation. Big difference.
Now it's time to do it all again in fear the walking dead
Jackson Wald What?
Bron Baby its the twin brother from The Walking Dead
Thats why that series exists
TS_Mill wfffs.
An interesting idea but the zombie threat isn't over just because the majority of zombies decompose, all living characters on the show left are all still infected with the virus and will turn when killed or die. So technically even if all the zombie hordes die off the zombies with still be able to come back albeit in much smaller numbers
This
the great thing is, zombies are dangerous due to their numbers. Once the majority of the population die off, they will be much easier to deal with.
Who else is here when they announced that it was ending after season 11
Me
Matpat: The zombies will soon be just bones.
Me: Then it's time
For the
*S K E L E T O N W A R*
Lol jon tron
But how would the bones stay together? Magic?
R a t t l e m e b o n e s
Clash of clans😂
Desiree have you heard of joints
They just keep on walking, and walking, and walking, and walking...
The WALKING dead
Let's liven things up...
THE RUNNING DEAD
Coming soon to TV never
+Trayton Paicu playing now in theaters near you!
+Trayton Paicu they have its called Z nation. very funny
+okrajoe Walk Walker! Walk!
welp he's wrong, there was recently a time skip way past 2 years right? or was the walking dead wrong
None, this theory count only the first generation of zombie, not EVERY zombie on the show.
Coming back to this video in 2024 after the spinoff came out
Glenn was my favorite character 😢
Noah Oh
😞😧
Glenn*
Don't spoil, dude, some people haven't seen it yet
Scary Story Time ok sry
EVERYONE GLENN DIES
You posted this 2 years ago,
Walking dead still going on.
the series move slow than the real time
get it cause there walkers and there slow
Hes saying hows its gonna end not thats its ending
Actually 3
Dripzy_eaftyheat No, he literally said it was ending
The video is for entertainment purposes, it's not really when he thinks the show will end. Also, it's just a theory... a film theory.
BEST WAY TO BE A SURVIVER RIGHT HERE :
Be the cameraman
negan disapproves that
Season 6x16
Coming back after announcement makes me have a new appreciation for his work
did he just call tera, rosita?
*tara
Yup he did and im pretty upset about it
DIY Dani And Cover Camila where have i seen you before?
kwadwo baidoo right here eyooo
***** WHAT?! GET OUT!
You double applied Casper's law.
The zombies were already exposed to those elements, so they are factored into their current lifespan. You do not apply it for a second time when it is already built into your rate of decay.
+Twosocks42 exactly, that's the only major mistake I noticed. but well, science is hard!
true
+Twosocks42 wow I feel stupid I just basically said what you said in a much bigger comment in another thread.
gamefreakfail I often do something similar, so don't worry about it. I just got lucky today and thought of a way to condense it to a simple comment. ;)
Plus first winter were the temperature drops bellow zero and any creature without the ability to create heat to the sense to find shelter is going to die. The cell structure in the more watery parts of the body is destroyed as ice crystals form and the virus is either shut down or killed while this process if going on. Most walkers die in the cold and people can move freely at this time of year as only walkers trapped inside will survive so they can go round and make sure they all die with hammers while they can't fight back. Occasionally new walkers are going to be made as people die but with the reduced population density even in the rare case where people are too careless to burn their dead the infection is only going to last a year at max before winter claims it.
yall need to do another one of this
As a huge TWD fan watching this vid years later, there is so much context that Matpat missed and idk how much research he really did, I appreciate the effort tho
What if walking dead isn't real
And Rick just hasn't woken up from his coma?
Fangame Empire plot twist
That would make a horrible plot twist.
Ohhhh
ohhh that would be a fun what if
That would be the worst ending ever
5:47 wait Rosita? i thought that was terra
Izaiah Makes Stuff it was Tara
with Terra in team Rick, shit would have been easier
Izaiah Makes Stuff
he has no idea didnt even watch the show peoperly
It is tara
Izaiah Makes Stuff it is
Congrats on 8 million subs Mat!
But mat pat forgets to mention that there is new walkers
I love The Walking Dead, someone I know calls it The Stepping Deceased.
or the stumbling corpses
Night Owl YT or The Moving Bodies
Night Owl YT shiiiiit I see a zombie oh wait walker outside my house he dead
The crawling carcasses
People Arguing and Zombies Occasionally Showing Up
In your final calculation, you're inappropriately applying Casper's Law to divide 276 by 8. By your calculations based on the current rate of decomposition, the zombies should last 828 days WITH the increased decay rate of Casper's Law. That denominator is already factored into that number, meaning that whatever increased preservation trait the zombie virus passes onto its host more than counteracts Casper's Law.
Using the 20 days it normally takes to get to Black Putrefaction, divide it by 8 (casper's law) and to say that a body exposed to elements would get there in 2.5 days. From this we can deduce that in the absence of the elements, zombies would actually last 6,624 days (6624/8 = 828 days that it would take to reach brain stem decay).
So, they need to hold on for another 276 days to reach the the decay of the majority of zombies in temperate zones, but another 17 years for well-preserved zombies.
Walker Life Spans WITH Casper's Law
Initial decay = 0 - 83 days
Putrefaction = 84 - 276 days
Black Putrefaction = 277 - 576 days
Butyric Fermentation = 577 - 1380 days
Dry Decay = 1381 - 9660 days
Without Casper's Law
0 - 664
665 - 2208
2209 - 4608
4609 - 11040
11041 - 77280
Thank you. Matt really dissapointed me with that
I was about to comment the same thing. Well played, my friend… well played.
+John Gardner You beat me to it
he said that is why they are moving the characters to colder climates, to milk more of the show
1:24 ... I'm starting to sense a theme here-
Just checking in on this theory as I await for the season 10 finale
Writers: "We plan on finishing the show when it would make sense for the zombies to expire. It's pretty neat, we've been setting it up for quite a wh-"
AMC: "Fuck you.
Basically what'll happen
+Eugenideddis I don't think so. Take a look at Breaking Bad, when it ended, it was at the height of it's popularity. What's more likely to happen is that The Walking Dead will end just as the writers plan it to, but we'll see a spin-off series a couple of years after. Like Better Call Saul.
+Eugenideddis happend*
+Mees Banning i think he was right
+Eugenideddis so basicly this season that starts up on Sunday may or may not be the last season. unless they move to Canada
when you said Subway: Eat Fresh, you should have said Zombies: Eat Flesh
IKR
yeah
agreed
nah
Well its too late now.
“A little over a month”
Walking dead: skips 6 years and about 10 months more after that
Remember when we all thought this was true and now 5 years later the walking dead is finally on its finale season
The real threat isn't the walkers, it's the humans.
because of the walkers.
because of teh human nature >_>
Michael King exactly
Michael King no dur. Season Seven
Michael King You should fear Season 7 Ep. 1
But everyone's infected with the walker disease, so when anybody dies more walkers form. They will never go out.
+tori0ri0ri I was thinking the same thing. Zombies will go extinct after all of the humans die.
Yep... thought the same myself...
so that theory goes straight out the window
Humans would die out eventually though
+tori0ri0ri Sure, but since most of humanity seems to be dead already judging by the long stretches they can go without seeing another human then seeing the odd zombie every now and again would pose virtually no threat. As MatPat says, the zombies are only dangerous in large numbers.
+Browncoat Allywang tell that to Dale
Wait but even if the zombie apocalypse ends everybody still carries the virus that means when they died though still come back no matter what if you don't destroyed the brain
not only I am watching this 4 years later and being on season 7
I read the comments and got spoiled hard
AND I was watching this while I was having lunch
Bad Decisions were made today...
