At this point one zombie doesn't scare anyone. And also at this point a horde of zombies doesn't scare anyone either (tv character or audience). In the season premiere Rick took on a legion of zombies without a weapon. We're at the point, ever since the Governor seasons, where the human threats need to get more gruesome to keep the audience's attention. We went from the Governor to the ppl who ate other humans to now Negan. So while the theme of this season is "We're just getting started", I give the series another 3 yrs because plot-wise it's just going to start repeating itself (or turn into snuff porn). It's main draw - zombies - is not the main draw anymore.
