Swarms of aggressively conformist violent chuds that want to kill anyone that doesn't fit their narrow definition of "normal" also fantasize about defending themselves against zombies, as always. :what-the-hell:

    I've said it before but we really need to go back to the Romero zombies. Have them as a critique of consumerist culture and have the 'heroes' as regular chumps and not all stoic, grim borderline superheroes.

      The original Night of the Living Dead was presented more as a natural disaster, and how people react to that. Also, as soon as the military showed up, the zombies were done (since really, there's no way for zombies to last against a military). Hence, it's only a night.

        And then come Dawn the government's managed to do absolutely nothing about a horrible infectious disease, while the media bickers amongst themselves and willingly airs false information for views

      I've said this before too, Zack Snyder's 2004 Dawn reboot was the reactionary Christian right coopting what was originally quite a progressive genre of fiction

      He really had the right idea and few people have been able to get it right since. His first few zombie movies in particular still hold up very well

      The only story that most Epic G*mers seem to identify as nonpolitical is when grizzled white men kill zombiesque brown/black-coded masses to avenge their fridged wives and/or rescue their sexually objectified teenage daughters from said brown/black coded masses.
