General Walking Dead question

It has been 10 years, how are the dead still walking around.
It takes about a year to decompose a body and the skeleton will decompose 8-12 years.
A skeleton cannot walk around without muscles tendons moving them, those are all gone within a year.
Freaking stupid arse show.

All logic is thrown out the window for zombie in shows/movies but especially for this show in general

People die and turn into zombies. I doubt any zombies still exist from day one.

I think you're taking it too seriously. Hell the idea of the dead getting up and eating people is a ridiculous notion to begin with

Its in the bible..

Well i believe their brain stems are still operational and when they cut a walker, thick darkened blood spews instead of pooling, so they are maintaining some type of circulation slowing decomposition.

The dumbest thing is when they are stuck on top of a car with zombies all around them, with a foot long knife that they refuse to use.

They stay alive by drinking fire breathing dragon blood

And let's be real.
They make sure to have a fair share of minorities on that show. But in reality I fully believe prejudice backwoods survivors (who will have an initial survive chance, with usual geographical isolation) would pick off any they saw, living or dead. There would be a lot less, and a lot less everything except fear, callousness and paranoia.
Merle was just a small watered down version of reality. The show has changed so much that they wouldnt dream of airing what he said to T Dog on that roof.

Yeah, but the show gives the impression that the amount of initial “survivors” is really low. Many lives lost during the event.
I always had the impression of that less than 5% survived the event

IIRC the comic creator started the series with the idea of time passing and zombies thus getting slower and weaker and eventually deteriorating but would be somewhat replaced as people died (whether by bites or natural deaths) at a much diminished rate as the living population adjusted.
The TV show reflected this for a while, even with their intro banner getting more and more deteriorated. But... while a comic can run for a dozen years and still be within that decomposition time period, TV shows have to deal with the fact that actors age, production time, etc. Add to all this that the show has diverged quite a bit from the comics (enough so that it's really its own world) as well as caved into various societal pressures and you get what we have now.
Soapbox mode: [ON] OFF
We now have a world where a child under 10yrs old is looked to as a moral and ethical leader, people make head shots as casually as pushing an elevator button, corpses do not decay beyond a certain point and gasoline apparently lasts forever. In other words, it's the usual tale of a story becoming popular because of the original writer's careful attention to details then being shut out by Hollywood as they give the story to a group of crayon-scribbling hacks whose major attachment to the story and characters is their paycheck and ability to pad their resume with the writing credits that are actually riding the back of the original author.

Most zombie stories include something about the virus/process slowing necrosis. Even on TWD, you can see that those walkers which have been dead the longest ARE the most-decomposed. It just takes longer.

I always liked World War Z ( the book) where the diver started questioning zombies on the ocean floor not being jelly.
And off topic but I'm amazed a fricking robot chicken episode landed closer to the ending the comic than the show will.

Lmao at people’s expectations for comic book series.
Lol “zombies existing, not an issue, but they totally went unrealistic when a 10 year old can shoot guns good. Completely ruins the realistic nature of the show”

I can accept that, but they have advanced the timeline too much to have massive herds. It is just simple math. 10 years is too long for the numbers in the show.

So the comic is completely done?

It's done, done.
It's about the ending people thought we would get after All Out War
