The Walking Dead: 10 Ways To Make The Show Great Again
9. Lets See Some Really Big Walkers
Is it me, or do all the walkers on the show seem like emaciated, frail pushovers? Where are all the big walkers? Where are all the ex-NFL players? The towering basketball players? The really big people we see all the time? In real life, every day, we see much taller and stronger and bigger people pass us by, making us want to grab the nearest regular-sized person and scream, Look at how huge that guy is! Apparently, these people dont exist in the world of The Walking Dead. But they should. This would not only help recreate our fear of walkers, but it could also produce some truly hair-raising moments on the show. Imagine Carl hiding in a closet from towering, giant walkers. Imagine Rick cornered by walkers that used to play football. Imagine any character without a gun surrounded by huge walkers, and you get the idea. Suddenly, not only is the threat real, but its also a much closer reflection of what the real apocalypse would look like. Not all humans are old and frail, or simply average sized with little muscle tone. And walkers shouldnt be confined to such ridiculous standards either. So lets see some bigger walkers, and lets put them in situations that make them threatening. Lets see Carl try to go it alone against a horde of Atlanta Hawks walkers. Speaking of Carl, I have some thoughts there too.
