The Walking Dead: The 3 big problems of the season 7 and the series in general
A few weeks after the end of the season 7 release of The Walking Dead, we return to the problems that have led to a general decline in popularity.
It’s been a while since Season 7 of The Walking Dead – which we have been asked to review – is finished and it has been decided, now that we have a step back, to look at the different problematic elements of the series. First and foremost, we would like to point out that The Walking Dead remains a quality series that we like to watch, and you are free to tell us what you think about it in the comments below . However loving a series does not mean being blind on the negatives and there are very few series that have none. For the series of zombies that we are following now for 7 seasons, it is in particular some differences with its beginnings that we regret. The first thing we think is a problem, Conversational aspect of the series. For some time now, the characters have been talking only about essential and factual things. Everything revolves around survival and most dialogues can be summarized in “we do this to survive” or “that’s how things are now”.
The first seasons offered us more dialogues, debates between the characters – especially between Dale and Andrea – lighter and more “normal” sentences that made it easier for us to identify with the characters. How long has Rick had a real conversation with Carl? Season 7 has further accentuated the fact that most characters speak to the same people and the dynamism of the series suffers . The first seasons, which had a smaller but still important group, showed us more fluid conversations that allowed us to better understand the mood of the characters. In short, we would like The Walking Dead to actually speak his characters, sometimes even ” The Walking Dead sometimes becomes too much an imitation more than an adaptation and therefore lacks rhythm, explanation and fluidity. Obviously the plot is primordial but the mode of narration on television is not the same as in writing and where the reader is accustomed to fill the spaces between the boxes of a comic, the viewer would like to him A little more binder.

Obviously the plot is primordial but the mode of narration on television is not the same as in writing and where the reader is accustomed to fill the spaces between the boxes of a comic, the viewer would like to him A little more binder.
The last episodes of Season 7 were a blatant example of the lack of coherence in the sense that many things went off screen to the point of making us ask if we had not missed scenes. The absence of Sasha’s arrival at the Sanctuary, the encounter between Rosita and Dwight, the start-up of Jadis or even a simple discussion between some members of Rick’s group after they saw that Ezekiel Had a tiger (!) Are all things that we would have liked to see on the screen. To leave a certain part of the “work” to the viewer is essential and allows us to continue to create the universe of the series that we love so much in our head . But one can not help but feel like a ” Have too many missing pieces in the puzzle. The balance between the plots and the characters seems to have suffered lately and it is hoped that they will return to the front of the stage to look a little more human.
Finally, the third thing that has been noticed concerns rather the form than the background. The Walking Dead remains a neat and beautiful series to watch, but Season 7 did not have the graphic look that was expected from the series. The plans seem less worked, the music is sometimes too ubiquitous and encroaches on characters who sometimes already too much in the background compared to the plot, and the magic of the first seasons is missing us a little. Again, to note certain changes – inevitable since it seems normal that a series evolves during the seasons – does not mean that one does not appreciate the series . On the contrary, as inveterate fans, one feels these things since one would like magic to work again, To meet before powerful and intense scenes saying “Damn, well played The Walking Dead” . And of course, the series had scenes like that and offered us beautiful things in the last few seasons. But the balance to be found in an adaptation is difficult and Season 7 simply gave us the impression that it had been even harder to find lately. While waiting to know if the series will return a little to its roots in the suite, you were offered a recap of all the dead of season 7 of The Walking Dead . And you what do you think ?
