    There have been numerous claims and allegations surrounding The Walking Dead claiming that it somehow lacks as far as race and diversity are concerned; however, this is completely and utterly false. For one, even if there wasn’t any diversity shown in the main cast, the author has no obligation to do so from a narrative perspective, but that is completely irrelevant because author Robert Kirkman has a very healthy amount of variety in the main cast. Not only having included them, he also gives these several diverse characters important roles and unique attributes in the story. In the first volume of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead graphic novel, there is representation for strong female characters, African Americans, and Asians; additionally, these ethnicities are all portrayed in a unique way, not being devolved into mere stereotypes for the sake of fitting the mold of the narrative and contributing to a diversity quotient.

  • Night Of The Walking Dead Analysis

    1353 Words  | 3 Pages

    A series allows for broader representations, therefore a lot more criticism on the postmodern world. The Walking Dead’s ‘walkers’ as the character refer to them on the show, are fictional terrorists - people killing people, except their aims do not go past this, similar to a lot of terrorists in 2017. The media did not hesitate to call Salman Abedi a terrorist. Abedi was killed in the Manchester massacre, hence his intentions were never revealed. To compare, Stephen Paddock who is responsible for the Las Vegas shooting could not be labelled as a terrorist because “We still do not have a clear motive or reason why.” The definition of terrorist does not apply only to ‘Muslims’ howbeit to anyone. It is merely a stereotype that is rapidly corrupting the world. This is the same reason we enjoy zombie movies without contradiction. Terrorism is the second greatest fear in America while zombies are the least according to a Chapman University extensive survey. Zombies are fictional, as one grows up they can separate the real from the fake. Although we are still scared of them, meaning there has to be some truth. Yes, they are brain-eating monsters but they also embody a real life ordeal that we are facing greatly in reality. In The Walking Dead, an audience sees rotting facial features and thinks inhumane, dead. What we fail to notice is the dress codes. They wear everyday clothing.
