“#How That ‘World Beyond’ Post-Credits Scene Changes The ‘Walking Dead’ Universe<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

[WARNING: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for AMC\u2019s The Walking Dead: World Beyond<\/em> Season 2 episode 10, \u201cThe Last Light\u201d and Fear The Walking Dead<\/em> Season 7 episode 8, \u201cPadre.\u201d]<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, we had \u201cwalkers.\u201d Now, with World Beyond<\/em>\u2019s last post-credits scene, it seems the Walking Dead<\/em> franchise is giving us a new spin on the undead: \u201cRunners.\u201d And that\u2019s exactly what they do\u2026 they don\u2019t walk, they run. Fast<\/em>. More than that, they exhibit signs of having short-term memory, and they have decent strength, too. Uh-oh!<\/p>\n

While this is the first time we\u2019ve seen speedy zombies in the TWDU, it isn\u2019t necessarily the first time we\u2019ve seen the undead as \u201csmart.\u201d Early in Season 1, walkers app<\/a>eared to be capable of remembering and even had semi-advanced motor function; Morgan\u2019s (Lennie James) zombified wife not only remembered where her family was, but she was also capable of climbing the stairs and turning the doorknob to get into the house. Terrifying? Sure. A sign of brain functioning or instinct beyond feeding? Almost certainly.<\/p>\n

But as the show went on, whether due to walker decomposition or behind-the-scenes changes, those glimmers of walker intelligence faded. Zombies, for the most part, existed as a straightforward threat; they were slow, their only motivation was to feed, and they were easily killed with a bullet, knife, boot, tire or screwdriver to the head.<\/p>\n

The French zombies are completely different. We\u2019re guessing their chief motivation is still to munch on the flesh of the living (they are zombies, after all), but they\u2019re capable of memory (the French zombie remembered where her attacker left the room and started to break down the door), they reanimate horrifyingly quickly (the scientist was only down for a minute at most before getting up again as a walker), and they\u2019re strong enough that their blows can dent steel<\/em>. Let that sink in.<\/p>\n

In that scene, we also get a few hints about how the outbreak started. It\u2019s implied that a group of French scientists called the \u201cPrimrose team\u201d either created the walkers (which the graffiti on the wall, reading \u201cthe dead were born here,\u201d supports), or they tried to cure them and ended up making everything worse, or both. Those scientists left for a conference in Toledo, Ohio, before the outbreak, and they never came back. Ohio is an interesting location for the franchise to choose, given that the Commonwealth is located there in the comics; on the show, however, it\u2019s in West Virginia.<\/p>\n

How the franchise uses these zombies and ideas remains to be seen, but there are several theoretical options. The first and most immedia<\/a>te would be to incorporate the zombies into The Walking Dead<\/em>\u2019s last 16 episodes as a new threat, but given that the Reapers haven\u2019t yet been dealt with and the Commonwealth storyline is just taking off, introducing a new kind of zombie there would be tricky and might make the last season feel overstuffed.<\/p>\n

The second option would be to fold this storyline into Fear The Walking Dead<\/em>, which seems slightly likelier. We still don\u2019t know what Padre is or where it is, so it\u2019s possible some of the scientists from the Primrose team made it there and are continuing to work on a cure. Maybe there are \u201crunners\u201d there or maybe there aren\u2019t, but we do know the Primrose scientists were in the United States and presumably, if they survived, they continued their experiments. So, the potential for \u201cvariants\u201d still exists\u2014and wouldn\u2019t it make \u201cPadre\u201d more interesting if it\u2019s not the perfect utopia it\u2019s rumored to be? It\u2019s also possible Alicia\u2019s (Alycia Debnam-Carey) mysterious illness is tied to the variants somehow: If she was bitten by a regular walker, she really should be dead.<\/p>\n

Other options are farther out and less certain. Depending where Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride) go in their spinoff, they could run into these new walkers and wind up in a storyline that involves the scientists. Putting two original franchise characters in a scenario where walkers are scary again would make for interesting television, and it could definitely generate interest in the spinoff\u2014as of now, plot details have been kept under wraps. There\u2019s also the possibility that these walkers or the scientists fuel an episode of Tales of the Walking Dead<\/em>, although it would be a pity for them to show up only briefly in an anthology show.<\/p>\n

The last, and maybe most likely, option would be for these \u201crunners\u201d to spice up the action in the Rick movies<\/a>. We still don\u2019t have a release date for the first of the planned trilogy, but since this scene takes place overseas, it\u2019s unlikely anyone without access to a helicopter is getting there. It would certainly keep Rick from his family if he was flown over to France\u2026 and he then had to deal with fast, strong, smart zombies.<\/p>\n

However they\u2019re factored into the franchise, it\u2019ll be intriguing to see how this bit of world-building expands the TWDU. We\u2019re looking forward to learning more\u2014but if we were in the survivors\u2019 shoes, we\u2019d definitely rather deal with good ol\u2019 garden-variety walkers.<\/p>\n
