OK, the human body does produce acid.The stomach acids are strong enough to burn paper and cause burns in flesh. The only reason stomach acid does NOT digest the stomach in which it resides, is due to thick layers of mucosal lining, which serves to neutralize or halt interaction with the acids. It COULD be hypothesized that the thickened vessels we see on the zombie's head and hands (and probably over their bodies) is lined with this mucosal layer, preventing the acid from digesting the zombie's body. As for how this fluid circulates, I have long believed that vampirism is caused not by viruses but by PRIONS. When the vampire's heart stops (or radically slows down) circulatory duties are taken over by the lymphatic system. IF zombies are also created by prions (or even virii) then the lymphatic system could definitely serve to act as a circulant, powered by muscular contractions, just as lymph is in a living body. THAT explains how vampires and zombies can still function with a non-beating heart.

@@sylvisterling8782So, don’t get me wrong I’m definitely in the beginning of my microbiology career… but the prion theory wouldn’t work for at least a few reasons, the major one being that it’s well acknowledged that this is airborne and prions, while long lasting and durable, are not capable of the incredibly fast transmission rate that Wildfire has. Secondly, you’re correct that different systems are going to have to be used in order to essentially keep this fuckers moving, but that implies a change in your DNA, meaning that likely this is a retrovirus, or potentially adenovirus. If different genes are being expressed or new genes are added, and aren’t expressed until reanimating, that means that it has to be a virus, with the viral DNA only being expressed and viral load increasing exponentially after death, where the immune system no longer is able to keep a check on it. Granted, this is just not how it works, but it’s a TV show so fuck it atp

My take on Jenner is that he's saying the different types of variants are in France, with each cohort being a type of variant basically. I do wonder if north America got variants from elsewhere, they mutated naturally, or were there the whole time and take time to develop.

America must be vanilla Walkers with some smarter motorskill Walkers. They teased running Walkers and Park our Walkers in New Work

Ahh, so the variety wouldn't be just the Rager at the post-credit scene. He meant that among France's cohorts, there's a variety of different Walkers. I dig it. It definitely comports with what we've seen in France.

This is a little off topic. I was watching Daryl 1st season again. Something really struck me more than before with call to Carol. I never thought it would be Rick she is saying. It doesn’t make any since for it to be Rick. I think Carol is saying “Its Back “. I have said this before & I will say it again. I think your theory is right on target. I think she is referencing Ezekiel’s Cancer and I think he has died. You have to listen to her tone and words she uses. “Oh it’s quiet here.” “Its been hard to get use to”. With Ezekiel being Gov & Carol taking Hornsby’s job they would work side by side. This would be great loss to her and would explain why she is upset and she would want to share that with Daryl. By end of last season of original show Ezekiel & Daryl seem closer. I think she would want to share that with someone who cares and knows how much Ezeikel means to her. She really doesn’t have anyone that close to her anymore except maybe Rick’s kids that would still be in Commonwealth.

Here is what I still find: An official release date has yet to be announced, but AMC has confirmed that Daryl Dixon Season 2 will premiere in summer 2024. (from April articles) They may move it back - but some of what I was going by in a previous video when talking about it - the Tribeca Film Festival they will be premiering the 1st episode. I kinda doubt they will wait till Fall after that - (festival is June 5th - 16th) with DD showing on the 8th. (at least I hope they don't push it back)

Some other channels have heard that AMC has bought last season of Snowpiercer & that they are going to put that on 1st before Daryl. I really hope you are right because I am going to lose my mind if I have to wait that long!!

hi james your explanation corresponds to that in the anatomy book of the credits the red notes in French explain that a liquid is injected into the neck to stimulate the heart in order to wake up the zombie's brain there is also an exit point on the arms to draw blood from the zombie the notes explain that it is on the arms and legs that the effects of the transfusion are strongest they increase the strength of the zombie

What an Interesting video. Thanks for that James! Alot of great info to ponder. I was watching the last season of Original show & Notice when the Walkers come into Commonwealth at the end that they were crawling up ladders & picking up rocks to break the windows. I didn't rememeber that so there were already variant walkers in original Show also. It could be that it clicked this time because I have that notion now of Variant walkers in other spin offs.

Stomach acid. Hydrochloric Acid is very stong, it would have no issue melting through flesh and I believe bone as well. The walker is regurgitating said acid which will immediately melt skin and eyes for example on contact.

I understand you need to evolve them if you're keeping the franchise going but just make them a little smarter and faster. Maybe Gimple took a hit of acid when he thought up something that stupid
