The Walking Dead Survivors Kill Zombies with Onomatopoeia (Making Live-Action Adaptation Impossible)
The Walking Dead has expanded its springy - legal action population with spin - off / continuation series includingFear the Walking Dead , The Walking Dead : The Ones Who Live , andThe Walking Dead : Dead City . This means there are many avenue the creatives behind the series can take to experiment with styles , storyline , and - most notably - in - earth zombie - killing methods . However , it ’s safe to say that ‘ onomatopoeia ’ wo n’t be one of them .
Onomatopoeia is almost exclusively used in comical books , while much never utilized in live - action at law ( with Adam West’sBatmanbeing one of the more far-famed exceptions ) . It ’s a fun visualization of tacky noises indicating action , meaning there ’s no grounds to practice it in a flick or series , given that sound is usually a key component in that style of storytelling .

The Walking Deadneeds an animated series to use onomatopoeia as a weapon!
As antecedently mentioned , The Walking Deadis currently growing its established existence within the realm of live - activity - but , why stop at live - action ? Other funny book properties have utilized vivification in primarily live - action continuities ( include the MCU’sWhat If?and theDCU ’s upcomingCreature Commandos ) , soThe Walking Deadcertainly would n’t be alone . If the widerWalking Deadcanon did determine to expand to the land of animation , and perhaps even allowed it to be more ‘ cartoonish ’ likeSmall Bites , then the series ’ ultimate weapon could actually be used on television .
As of now , there are no official plans to create an animize version ofThe Walking Dead , so the only character ofTWDcontent fans can look out on TV are the live - action at law serial . Therefore , The Walking Dead ’s new , ultimate anti - zombie arm - given that it runs on the most meta ( and violent ) version of onomatopoeia possible - is one that truly could never work on TV .
