SurgiiWhippedCreme Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Some of these universes have never had the idea of zombies being coined in pop culture (or at all) I.E - In AMC's TWD, IIRC Dawn of the Dead (1978) was never created, thus, people had no idea about what zombie were. This right here is literally the only reason why a zombie apocalypse happens in media.It would NEVER happen in civilized society, let alone the U.S.Y'know, that place where at least one person in a neighborhood is armed. Like that one neighbor that apparently has guns, bullets, bows n arrows, and ingredients for homemade grenades... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverlordMcGeek Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Because we have been trained by media to want to crush skulls since the age of 6? To quote Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation "the troubled soul of your loved one is now at rest. I jumped on her head and I swear her lower jaw went fifty feet!"

Zero.No.Hikari Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 In most zombie movies they never had that genre so they had no clue what this new disease was and as such it was unexpected to the point where countries blamed each other on biological warfare and while they tried to contain and study it just gets worse till boom Zombie Apocalypse.

bl4ckhunter Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 the wide majority of people get killed by the "zombie disease" in most films (protagonits not counting) even if they are aggressive (which is a far fetched attribute for a corpse even supposing it still walks around), it wouldn't be much worse than the black death of 1300 when they supposedly had corpse piles in the streets in some city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Pharen Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 So most of what Im getting here is... Plot yes, it's a know fact that a zombie outbreak wouldn't last more than a few days at most unless it was an airborne disease. The odds of humans getting overrrun by a virus that requires biting is extremely unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nighttide77 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I imagine enough people have seen zombie movies and such to know what needs doing, including military. Would be interesting for there to be a movie where people actually realize what's up. Only scenario that could make sense is if the virus killed people outright, leaving only so many of those that are immune. Oh wait...isn't that the plot of Left for Dead?

Artekkor Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Because if in movies people would act smart and rational, like IRL... Those movies would last 10 minutes with us wining like easy pease lemon squesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artekkor Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Actually in Dying Light we have an example of zombie outbreak as it would really go. Only 1 city is infected, and goverment quickly contained the infection by putting the city on quarantine with big walls and armed men not letting the infection to spread any further. In Killing Floor it's a special case. KF's zeds are not zombies, but cloned mutants created with military purpusoses. According to a little piece of lore, zeds are actually created with sort of hive mind, that makes them work together i.e.: walking in large groups with different types of zeds in it to increase efficiency of the pack through utility. Now that's real zombie outbreaks that actually sound legit to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freelancer27 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Some cheesy excuse to make films/soap operas/novels/survival games profitable out of an already populated genre involving dead people reanimated with an unfair disease structure, which is literally invoked by some technological company or a deliberately silly ancient fossilized fungus that came back from dormancy after Global Warming. I hate seeing these pop out every hour, only to get it cheesed out by an already tired set of viewers who already responded on how poorly designed the plots are.

321agemo Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I think it depends on how fast it spreads. Cordyceps from Last of us was probably caused by a sudden mutation that exploded rapidly. It might also be because we dont initially realise it until it was too late (shawn of the dead) Or might have been a biological attack that caused it.

DecapitatingJim Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Cockney vs zombies was a pretty funny example of zombies in a world where people actually know what zombies are. Zombie outbreak started and was curb stomped an hour later. Edited December 23, 2015 by DecapitatingJim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)makrisbrik Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Its the guilt-free act of killing without the remorse is the reason why Zombies are so appealing. And the fact that the penalty for lack of luck, or being caught off guard can result in becoming what you despise the most. The real question I'm interested in is what will you guys choose for a weapon and what would be the content of your bug-out bag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking a bandolier of seven Harper's Ferry pistols, a saber, the necessary cleaning and loading equipment, the powder, and a ton of .58 caliber balls.Anyone stumbles on me, they'll think I'm insane and not bug me.

Zero.No.Hikari Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 See most people will take guns or blades. Me, I'll just use a multi purpose shovel. With a shortish handle so I do waste too much energy whacking a zombie in the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone stumbles on me, they'll think I'm insane and not bug me. Wow! I googled it. Really a flintlock antique? You must like to live dangerously or you're really an expert shot. The saber would be great! I've been giving it a thought. I want a kukri blade like Mila Govovich in resident evil and don't want cheap Ghurkha surplus but a coldsteel one and I think I can decapitate a few without cutting myself and getting bitten. I'll grab my dad's .22 ruger pistol (.22 cause you really don't need big caliber and you can carry tons of ammo) and a Mossberg 590 shotgun- one 00 buck in the chamber and 8 in the tube, with a spec-ops stock, side saddle that holds 6 buckshots and sling bandolier for ammo. It helps a lot that my family is mostly in the military/police and I have been forcedencouraged to be proficient with whatever toys they have, including the M4 and M9 beretta pistol. I'd be more afraid of humans. I need help in putting the contents in my bug out bag. I'll carry my coach handbag and have all my knicknacks, deodorant, mosturizer, victoria secret lotion and cover your eyes - tampons and all the other necessities. And grab a good pair of running shoes. Did you notice that the new Saryn skin, her shoes are like the one above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
