Although "The Walking Dead" has been on air for a few years, fans are now voicing out their opinion on the show's credibility. Many are challenging some of the show's elements, pointing out that the recent episodes of "The Walking Dead" season 7 presented some unlikely happenings in a post-apocalyptic setting.
Fans Criticize World of "The Walking Dead" Season 7
According to a Reddit post, a user by the name of MyTeaccher pointed out an observation from an episode of "The Walking Dead" season 7. MyTeaccher explained that it is not possible to have a fat character on "The Walking Dead" given the conditions that the characters live in. Since the characters of "The Walking Dead" live in a post-apocalyptic setting, the user argued that a person would not have enough food to be overweight.
The suggestion sparked discussion on other things that are not possible in the environment of "The Walking Dead" season 7. Another Reddit user commented that mowed lawns and usable gasoline are also elements that cause inconsistency in the story. It was said that it is unlikely for the characters to have gasoline years after a zombie apocalypse.
Clean roads are also elements that will not be possible in an apocalypse because there are no people assigned to clean them. Some users indicated that weeds would already be growing on the roads because traffic is what keeps them from sprouting. This is not the situation for "The Walking Dead" season 7, making the story less plausible.
"The Walking Dead" Season 7 Has Lowest Ratings
With that, this could be one of the reasons for the show's lack of success this season. AMC series "The Walking Dead" has had a rough year as it struggles to maintain its fans' interest. The ratings for "The Walking Dead" season 7 have decreased, which is why viewers are questioning the show's fate.
After six seasons of "The Walking Dead," it seems as though fans are getting tired of the show. TV Line indicated that "The Walking Dead" season 7 brought the ratings at an all time low, despite all the antics presented intended to keep viewers interested. Though the season brought a lot of new characters, "The Walking Dead" season 7 might not be able to continue the hype for the show.
