4. Break the Vicious Villain Cycle
Everybody knows the zombies are just being zombies, and we can’t expect much more from them. Zombies aren’t so much villains as a force of nature but we need to address the human bad guys. How many post-apocalypse enclaves can the survivors stumble upon and then be surprised they’re populated by people like the Governor in Woodbury, the cannibals holed up at Terminus and the cops at the hospital in Atlanta?
We all get the message: the apocalypse has brought out the worst aspects of human nature, making humans the real monsters. Maybe Fear can try a different approach? The zombies will remain limited by their mindless shambling ways unless they can somehow evolve into a more compelling threat.
