The Walking Dead Season 7: 10 Fatal Mistakes It Must Avoid
4. Walkers Shouldn't Be Neglected
For a time, walkers became nothing more than a minor obstacle to overcome and inject a bit of blood into the show. They weren't a threat, they were just...there, affecting little other than the loudness of character's voices.
But it seems someone has been messing with the walkers' volume controls. They were dialed up to maximum in the first half of Season 6 and that was wonderful to see. The stars of the show were back to their threatening best.
Unfortunately, the volume was turned down and the walkers once again went into their 'easy-listening' phase. They just sort of existed without making a real impact. There's no reason why the walkers can't be a lethal presence while Negan is on the scene.
