    The Walking Dead may not be the biggest threat to Rick and his posse. In fact, it may be themselves and the way they handle their guns. I'm almost positive that over time Rick and the others have suffered severe hearing damage, which explains why those walkers have such an easy time sneaking up on them. Fear the Walking Dead. But fear hearing loss even more.

    I had the same theory before.
    There was a scene where one of them is standing still in a forest, looking through a night vision scope, slowly turning around... and there's suddenly a zombie one step in front of her. And it remained 100% silent right until the moment it got into frame. Imagine how hard it would be for a living person to sneak up to an alerted guard, in the forest, without stepping on a million branches and leaves.

    If you think they are losing their hearing, then they also must be loosing their sense of smell on the show. I can't count the amount of times they are in a confined room or indoors in general and are caught off guard by a walker.
    Folks, ROTTING CORPSES leave odor. If you walk into a room and it smells of rotting flesh --- a "walker" is near by.

    • @sarahblack7724
      @sarahblack7724 Před 7 lety +55

      True, maybe they are just so used to it, that they can't really distinguish the smell of corpses and anything else. I mean, isn't the place covered with them? So they are bound to smell them everywhere?

      Sarah Black Well yes and no, long exposure in a constant smell would eventually fade a tinge. But rotting anything will always have a distinct smell. They aren't always surrounded by them, there are quite a few time they enter a building while not being chased or having a walker in site only to go into a confined space with a walker. You'd smell it right away. Esoecially if all the doors and windows were closed prior.

    Something cool I learned from the comics is each of the nicknames given to the zombies have their own meanings.
    A lot of the zombies shamble together in crowds and slowly make their way across long distances, so these are dubbed 'walkers'. Then the ones that stray away for one reason or another are called 'roamers'. And the ones you see snapping their jaws they called 'biters'. I think there were more as well that were explained too. :D

    Watching this bc I’m rewatching the walking dead, but this reminds me; at one point, Daryl is able to differentiate between walker footsteps and human footsteps (sometime during either the 5th or 6th season it is talked about). If he had considerably lost his hearing like the others have, he wouldn’t be able to do things like that. Having the crossbow instead of a gun helps him MORE with his tracking skills

      Not at all. Walking dead is still one of the top shows on tv. It could be much better though. Negans censorship will likely destroy it though. More viewers also dulls the show somewhat because there are a lot more casual viewers that keep character developement from progressing for more air time, etc. HBO turning it down because of violence is bullshit.

      Those were "fresh zombies", when you get converted you keep your habits but with the time these get vanished.
      Speaking about velocity, they in fact walk slow but when they see you the get "excited" so they become faster but in a normal way as any person (they are still "living beings" with behaviors, reactions, etc).
      Finally they can not walk for ever a body in function needs to spend energy so they burn they own organism (in the same way that the people does when they get trapped in a cave, island, etc)

    moral of the story: just steal some eardrums protection from the military during the apocalypse and just do that

      Hearing protection is only like... $20. Does no one here actually shoot? Or know what a gun is?

      Natalie Parker silencers can still give you hearing damage. They're suppressors, not silencers. They lower the blast but it's still loud like a balloon popping

      SpiderWoman 7000 Use a pair of soft rubber ear buds. You can get them at a gun store for $5 for a pack of 100.

      2K-Kane My company ,however, makes really good hearing protection. They are a bit more pricey, but they work well.

      fan9775 They work fine if your outdoors, if your in an indoor shooting range firing a rifle then you'll probably want something more than the little foam ear plugs. For hunting and outdoor target practice tho they're fine.

      out ko I've tried them out, and they're okay for rifle fire.
