Zombies have been done to death.
I agree with that sentiment, though it may just have been a good pun!
The problem is I feel either with people knowing or not knowing, it seems it's all been rehashed and overdone.
Maybe years ago, I would have answered characters must not understand what zombies are and learn the rules along the way.
I used to enjoy zombie movies a lot, but midway through "The Walking Dead" I couldn't take it anymore and I've ignored anything zombie ever since.I suppose I have the same rejection for vampire movies.
Oh hey, this was essentially my experience too, but with the Walking Dead comic! The TV series used plot points from the comic book and I think you can kinda tell where the TV series’ success started affecting the comic and the whole thing turned into an ouroboros of trying to maintain the success of a flashy zombie TV show.
I think maybe it was inevitable. Robert Kirkman’s original idea of a never-ending human drama surrounded by the pressures of zombies doesn’t seem profitable long-term without insane character deaths and (more) deliberate gore porn.
