      The fact that zombies seems to be able to walk indefinitly in most movies/series without consuming energy bothers me more than it should.

      Do they all evolve to photosynthesize!?

        Yeah when people talk about their hypothetical zombie survival plans, mine is just stay at home and eat the food I have. Realistically zombies would starve before I do because they don’t know how to use can openers.

        It bothers me more that gasoline never goes bad in these things. Things like 28 days later it’s fine, but Walking Dead and Last of Us where it’s years later… yeah those cars aren’t going anywhere anymore. I don’t expect these things to be realistic, but it would be more interesting to see people have to adapt to these kinds of problems.

          Can’t recall if it’s mentioned in the mainline walking dead but gasoline going bad is definitely a thing in the walking dead universe, and a significant plot line in a season of so of fear the walking dead.

            It’s possible, I stopped watching TWD after a while and Fear the Walking Dead came out after they fucked up the introduction of Negan so I never watched that.

            I think the fuel degrading is also partly why they don’t drive the whole way. I think in the HBO series they also mention how much fuel it takes to travel now. Not exactly realistic but they apparently thought about it
