Heads up, minor spoilers for The Walking Dead up ahead — proceed with caution if you have yet to watch tonight’s episode. In tonight’s season finale of The Walking Dead, the show finally introduced winter and the subsequently frozen zombies that come with the scenario. As expected, fans instantly started comparing The Walking Dead‘s frozen walkers to the White Walkers found on HBO’s Game of Thrones.

The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus previously teased the “explosive” finale, saying it’s something fans have never seen before.
“I will say visually the last episode is nothing like you’ve ever seen on The Walking Dead before,” Reedus told EW. “It’s completely different. It was so fun to shoot. It’s a different look, 1000%, in the end. It’s a huge, visually explosive episode that’s going to be visually stunning.”
Do you think the frozen walkers on The Walking Dead were blatant ripoffs? Keep scrolling to see what people are saying about the situation…
The Walking Dead will be back for its tenth season later this Fall while Game of Thrones’ final season debuts April 14th on HBO.

Going Overboard
I think #TWD is going overboard on this winter storm. The group is fixing to either find White Walkers or The Thing. pic.twitter.com/qxT2qgEGIs
