Walkers would only die after some serious time when their brains would be exposed to the elements since the only living thing is their basic primal center of the brain which leads them to need only the basics to survive.

They don't need flesh to live but their brains are telling them to kill and eat to survive. It is the most basic function kill or be killed.

And the Walkers starve to death at a much slower rate, Michonne's were still alive up to a year after she chopped their mouths off.

Walkers decompose at a slower pace

this would be way counter-acted by being constantly exposed...especially to animals

and this show has been going on, what? like a year? it takes a human about a week to die from dehydration and a month from starvation. ignoring that this would still apply to walkers, how much longer do you think they last? especially while never stopping and being exposed all the time

They had antibiotics. They chopped off Hershel's leg for goodness sake.

well the vast majority of humanity already died, humans aren't exactly reproducing at a high rate, and walkers don't eat other walkers. where are they getting their protein?

but this makes no sense with the "everyone who dies becomes a walker" line of reasoning. by making infection both automatic and pervasive, it changes the "basic zombie fiction 101", yet the show still keeps it. can't have your cake and eat it too...at least with a straight face


Well that's the other side of the coin. Everyone is infected already but the virus is dormant until you die, then it can reanimate you.

I mean, it's a work of fiction. I don't know what can be said to satisfy your thoughts on the subject other than you can go create your own zombie universe and make your own rules.

the virus is slowing down the rate of decomposition.

I can't really get into this discussion without mentioning the comics so I will stop

Why would a creature who can only be killed by a hard shot to the head die from starvation?

but they still need protein for the muscles to move the body, etc

that would wear out quickly, especially since they're constantly exposed

once you add animals to the mix, they wouldn't last very long at all

well the ones who are, which is the vast majority that we see, wouldn't last very long

this isn't about decomp. i'm not saying the bodies would rot. our bodies require stuff to run...i mean at a very basic level
