The Zombie Genre is Flawed

[AcesandEights]

Again... 28 Days Later infected are ZOMBIES. They are what is known as Automatons, another definition of ZOMBIE Again, let me reiterate per my statement... Let's set aside what thematically constitutes a zombie here and focus on the fact that the 28 Days Later infected are alive...you know, subject to their own mortality, as opposed to traditional undead zombies. Nothing in my above statement had anything to do with whether 28 DL infected are zombies, I was setting it aside because that is not the startlingly stupid thing about what that person posted.

Just an FYI... I only chimed n because Bassman more orless put a dare out there... not to really debate you on your reply. I got where you were coming from... I just wanted to push a button or two. Its friday and I am bored.

I just wanted to push a button or two. Mission accomplished I was all like 'He didn't even read my post!' Rolled up my sleeves and was like 'It's on!' Happy Friday, btw.

So 28 Days Later finally answered the question of how long a living person can live?

So 28 Days Later finally answered the question of how long a living person can live? When they are infected with Rage

Again... 28 Days Later infected are ZOMBIES. They are what is known as Automatons, another definition of ZOMBIE They are not..... deep breaths.. deep breaths.. deep breaths... must resist..

That is about the only mission I am accomplishing today. Looks like you got a little collateral damage there Deej. Let me get you started there Andy. "Are they running breathing zombies with pulses who are alive?"

[Yojimbo]

Let me get this straight.... he's expecting logic from films that depict THE DEAD RISING? And where in any zombie movie have we seen the dead digging themselves out of the grave? Or even with dirty hands? It's the recently dead that rise, at least in Romero's films. For a zombie fan this guy dosen't pay attention. M_ I too am in agreement with Marie. If anything is flawed it this dude's powers of observation & reasoning. Like most blogs, this is more about how clever he thinks he is than anything else. Got to question his taste too, since absent from his list of favorite zombie films are a number of films much better than Snyder's DAWN bullshit reimagining.

They are not..... deep breaths.. deep breaths.. deep breaths... must resist.. They are... PERIOD! INFINITY x INFINITY. Discussion closed

I got to this part... "Take for instance, the scene in Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead." ...and stopped.

here are the major flaws of the zombie genre, according to me: 1. track-star zombies 2. talking zombies 3. vegetarian zombies 4. remakes of classics with the likes of nick cannon and mena five-head casted 5. over-saturation of shitty zombie films i'm really keeping the faith in "world war z" and "the walking dead" tv series to represent ghouls the way they should be depicted. maybe that'll turn things around...before we have to deal with crap like zombieland 3 with justin bieber starring alongside tom hanks or some bullshit...

They are... PERIOD! INFINITY x INFINITY. Discussion closed Your suggesting that a living, breathing person who eventually starves and dies who has a virus which makes them homicidal but not hungry for flesh is a member of the undead? You notice the 2 key words there being "living" and "undead".. even if you choose to ignore the rest of what makes up a modern zombie like the flesh eating, you cant deny that they are the undead. if you go as far back as white zombie, which was the first zombie movie ever, its still a key trait that they are the dead risen. Its stressed in 28 days that rage sufferers are victims of a disease but are still alive. Thus, not zombies. Case closed.
