those that rose from their graves didn’t look anything but normal and healthy.

Speculation on your part. The KJV says: "bodies of the saints" which doesn't suggest they were full of animated life.

Doesn’t say corrupted bodies of the saints.

A “stiff” is just that, stiff. Any movement would require: freedom of movement, which means: everything working.

They arose from graves. The graveyard was not in the city. They went into the “holy city” and appeared to many. I doubt they would have gotten past the gatekeepers looking like lepers or worse. If spotted, they would have been pelted with rocks until they left town.

Rotting and stinking Lazarus was raised from the dead. I willing to bet that even his grave clothes didn’t smell bad when the Lord said “loose him, and let him go”.

God doesn’t do stuff halfway right.
