Modern day zombies are more often shown as flesh-eating, primal creatures with no sign of intelligence other than basic animalistic instincts. These zombies are a manifestation of the fear of the government becoming too powerful.

The Walking Dead has been known for its infuriating cliffhangers for a while now, but fans were certainly not expecting the most jaw-dropping ending in last night’s season finale. Although viewers were rewarded with a tense look at Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan, “Last Day on Earth” ended without revealing who the villain killed.

Is the U.S on the brink of being nuclearly annihilated; conceivably, ending in another world war? With Donald Trump's new presidency, tensions between the U.S and North Korea have immensely escalated due to threats to launch missiles resulting in a possible World War III. President Trump plays a leading contribution to this tension with his constant boorish and disparaged actions towards North Korea. Even to the point where Trump has now dubbed Kim Jong Un as being “Little Rocket man”.
