While The Walking Dead did feature zombie variants throughout the show’s run, this guaranteed that a major plot hole would eventually become obvious to viewers. It is easy to see why the creators of The Walking Dead felt the need to introduce new zombie variants as the series wore on. While it was fun to watch various bands of human survivors repeatedly prove that people are the true monsters after the end of the world, this post-apocalyptic trope started to wear thin after a few seasons. Eventually, by the time season 11 rolled around, The Walking Dead needed to make its zombies threatening again.
