There’s Only 1 Way Walking Dead’s Future Can Avoid A Massive Zombie Plot Hole

After nearly 13 years of The Walking Dead on TV, the explanation around zombie variants hasn’t been explained and should actually stay this way to avoid a plot hole. The Walking Dead season 1 introduced zombie variants but failed to address them again until the main show’s final season. Variants were likely unplanned this early into the show, but in establishing their rules, these unique walkers were accidentally included due to behavior that was uncharacteristic of traditional zombies. This not only leads to questions as to why there was such a big gap in seeing these types of walkers, but it also creates the mystery of how they were created.
