I mean as a whole. Comic, show, game, whatever. I posted this on the TTG website, so let me just ctrl. v ctrl. c
I remember recently reading a statement by Robert Kirkman talking about his zombies. He said that they just "keep rotting." While reading this, I was watching an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia in the background, where two of the main characters are tricked into digging up their mother's grave, only to find that she rotted away to a skeleton. I must ask, do you think that the end of The Walking Dead will be that 5 or so years (which the game is almost halfway through) into the apocalypse, there will be so few survivors that the zombie apocalypse becomes more of a zombie irritation, due to the majority of the population dying so early on?

Yes I very well do, I believe it will all end at a point, so many people will die to the point there are few walkers coming around, they will keep rotting until they themselves die, and then they will have to slowly rebuild, it's all a circle, it's just surviving for those five years or so is the challenge, Kirkmen said he will end the comic at a point, and I believe it will not be everyone dies, rather it all ends, finally a bit of hope and happiness after so much death and sadness.

Well, for certain parts of the world, it could very well be over, but in some areas, such as those where it snows and drops below freezing, there could be zombies for a decade or more, at least, I would think. The cold would preserve the zombies so they wouldn't rot away as quickly, or at all in some areas. The living would still have to deal with the dead, and I don't think that life would ever go back to the pre-apocalypse standard. In the end, though, the zombies will become less of a threat, but still a very present one.

It has to end one day, perhaps someone could one day cure the whole dying and you become a walker problem, but even if not, things will get better, as they always say, it's always darkest before dawn.

Kirkman said that there will never be a cure, a vaccine, nothing.

No cure. People are going to be turning into walkers forever, man. I disagree about things being darkest before the dawn, in this case. It might get a little better, but civilization has been basically destroyed. Life is never going back to the way it was before the dead rose. The cities will fall to ruin, the food will run out, and the dead will keep walking while the few living humans that remain eek out a horrible existence in their camps and their walled communities, slowly dwindling in number. Until one day, humans are gone. It may be a hundred years or however long it takes, but in The Walking Dead, this is how the days run down for humanity.

It can't always be like that, humans have survived the worst that has happened, it has to end one day, one day man, it will end.

Humans have survived some shit, true, but humans have never had to deal with the dead walking, and killing and turning anyone who wasn't already dead. Add into that that anyone who dies will come back NO MATTER WHAT unless the brain is destroyed, and the general regression of many people into savagery (the St. Johns and Save-Lots bandits) means that humanity won't be recovering. Then you have places like CRAWFORD... places that, even behind their walls, turn on each other and fall from within. It's not just the walkers that are going to do humanity in. It's the other humans that kill and steal from other humans, who submit to their inner darkness and become even WORSE than the undead, that is what really spells the end for people. The living are too busy fighting each other to be able to deal with the walkers.

I think that humanity is ingrained into what we are, and that sure, we may go through a phase of tearing people's hearts out before things get better, but eventually, someone will say, "Wait, why the fuck are we doing this?!" That's why I don't see people losing their humanity in the apocalypse as a disaster.

That's why I don't see people losing their humanity in the apocalypse as a disaster. Some just take it too far. The Save Lots bandits don't strike me as the kind of people who would come to their senses. Same goes for Crawford, even more. Andy St. John is the only person I think even came close to realizing exactly how bad he'd become, but he was more broken than anything else. A lot of the people who went bad won't be coming back from that. Some will, for sure, but not all of them. And it will still be people killing people, using "survival" as an excuse, whether it applies or not, and that's what will destroy the human race in TWD. The living can't hope to beat the dead until they realize that they can only win by banding together, and by the time the few remaining survivors realize that, there won't be enough people left. Or maybe I'm just cynical.

I say cynical, I am usually pessimistic about these things, but for this, I am optimistic, it has to get better, there is no point in surviving if we all believe we are just going to die.

But it's better than going extinct. It's better because when you are this primal thing, so long as you have kids, it doesn't matter. That's because they will find better ways of doing things. And so will their kids, and their kids, etc., until there is no reason to be a murderer.
