The video is a humorous and detailed analysis of the TV series "The Walking Dead" by a YouTube channel called Film Theory. The host, MatPat, discusses the show's zombie apocalypse setting and theorizes about the timeline of the zombie threat based on the show's progression.
MatPat starts by discussing the show's recurring theme of characters seeking refuge in different locations, only to be forced to flee due to zombie attacks. He then delves into the show's portrayal of zombies, noting that their appearance changes over the seasons, becoming more grotesque.
MatPat then introduces the concept of decomposition, explaining the five stages of a body's decomposition: Initial Decay, Putrefaction, Black Putrefaction, Butyric Fermentation, and Dry Decay. He uses this information to predict when the zombie threat in "The Walking Dead" will end, based on the show's timeline and the rate of decomposition.
MatPat calculates that the zombies in "The Walking Dead" have been decomposing at an accelerated rate due to exposure to the elements and high temperatures. He estimates that the zombies will completely decay in approximately 1,380 days, or a little over two years. He also notes that the zombies' brains will liquify around the same time, effectively ending their threat.
MatPat concludes his analysis by noting that the show's creators have slowed down the timeline and moved the setting to colder temperatures to justify the continuation of the show. He predicts that the zombie threat will end soon, and the show will have to adapt accordingly.
Throughout the video, MatPat makes several references to other pop culture elements and theories, and encourages viewers to explore these topics further.
