What makes them such a compelling horror antagonist?
fuck mimi
People like the idea of having an excuse to kill humans.
We have a primal fear of dead things because they spread disease.
>>223679439^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>You are subhuman goy, you are violent you are cannibals and you are a disease - the genre
That cosplayer has had a very rough time over the last few months. She was institutionalized for mental illness and was then homeless.
>>223679439This it's why it sucks that zombie films died off for some reason. The alternative monster is having something so unfamiliar that you don't understand it let alone it it can be killed.
Vampires are more kino but deep down everyone knows Zombies are just the right amount of hazardous to make things interesting, but you’d still have to be a retard to die or have extremely bad luck. So its a good fantasy scenario
I just like the idea of shooting mobs.
It's coding for brownoids and niggers. No, seriously.The Body Snatcher themes of the 70's were about communist subversion, and one might argue that original zombie flicks were about consumerism or stuff like that, but in the end all those topics handle current fears more than they are about some artys societal criticism.Best example would be World War Z: clearly about brownoids overruning civilizations.
>>223679766Brown shithordes were overrunning Israel in that movie and while I do not condone such depictions, there would be absolutely no way of telling the inhabitants from the invaders and pre invasion Israel from post invasion Israel
>>223679245A multitude of reasons: >It's fun to think of what you would do in that scenario>The movies usually involve a small tight cast of really quotable and memorable characters>It facilitates a ton of cool gore gags>They're a swiss army knife of metaphors, like fear of disease, aging, your neighbors, societal collapse, loss of self, etc
>>223680036Best post.It's also an easy thing to play pretend with. You barricade your door and windows for fun, just don't leave it that way.
>>223679562Sad
>>223679562Name?
>>223680206Another thing about vampires - everybody knows that the only reason they don’t win is they become the victims of stupid. Realistically, they shouldn’t ever lose, and that’s doubly true of werewolves. >400 lbs. of teeth, claws, and muscle coming at you at motion-blurring speed, and your only chance at victory is scoring a mortal wound with a silver weapon.>Good luck.
The best zombie movies explore the way the living deal with the living dead. How they handle watching a loved one die and turn into a zombie is fascinating and a way to move the plot forward. You can fight back and run but there is really no place safe or anywhere to hide. I've always looked at zombie movies as an end to humanity. God has finally decided to end our lives, and this is the method he uses. The Walking Dead even went a step further and everyone who dies returns as a zombie. So, there is no happy ending to the Zpoc. When there is no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the Earth.
>>223680080don't care
>>223680883This comes from a misunderstanding of scripture; the dead will rise, but to be judged, not to eat us.Still a based answer.
I'm tired of the genre, it's been overdone for a loong time.The only zombie thing i want to see is the bridge scene from the WWZ book.
>>223680883>The Walking Dead even went a step further and everyone who dies returns as a zombie.that was in Night of the Living Dead
>>223680883> The Walking Dead even went a step further and everyone who dies returns as a zombie.This is how the original Night of the Living Dead (and the 1990's remake) function too. The Walking Dead didn't take anything further. It's how it worked from the start.
>>223679245who's this sexy zombi
>>223681318he was just trying to get donations
>>223679562And you didn't save her? Anons keep saying they can but we keep losing cute white girls year after year
>>223681540lol
Another interesting aspect of the Zpoc are the living that go crazy violent when faced with dealing with the undead. It would be assured that many of the living would be far more dangerous than the living dead during a zombie invasion.
>>223679245Becky is not a zombi delet this
>>223681684The Walking Dead talks about this. How there's a great filtering going on.
>No different from being dead nor being alive
>>223680883>>223681318Here’s something that sort of spooks me a little. The oldest story humanity still has, the Epic of Gilgamesh, makes mention of the Underworld being opened to let the dead return to eat the living. Four thousand years ago, that was already a concept, so who can say how much further back it really goes?
>>223680080>I don't normally ask for money but>linktree to several places to donate money to me>I have mental health
>>223682101I've always wondered if something similar could happen. Not really the undead but a super contagious pathogen similar to rage in 28 days later. I can see it being created with the help of AI and distributed worldwide by eco terrorists. I have little faith left in mankind and expect this to be our end at some point.
>>223679766Ironically, WWZ is also a movie about consumerism considering how much blatant product placement is in it.
>>223681741Pretty much every zombie story does it, it's where the "humans are the real monsters" cliche comes from. As soon as resources start drying up and it looks like the zombie situation isn't going to improve at all, people get worried, and then they get violent.
>>223679245zombies are basically NPCswe deal with them every day so we fantasise that we could take them out
>>223682515I doubt I'd even have to weld metal protection over the windows but I could... and I probably will. Now I just need a still to make fuel.
>>223681561I don't save people who upload videos/pics of themselves online as a hobby.
>>223679245They're distorted versions of ourselves.
I watched a documentary where George Romero said that zombies are popular because of videogames.
>>223682586Niiice. You should make little pinstripe jack o lanterns to put over the KC lights for Halloween.
>>223679417You have no idea how badly I want to
>>223682702cant' even find a decent jack o lantern face on google images anymore baka
>>223683122Shit, that looks cool enough to leave on all the time.
>>223679245Nothing. A magazine or newspaper is enough to armor yourself from them. Zombies are fucking lame and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
>>223683737who told anon about prison armor
>>223680883Let’s not forget who is responsible if that ever happens: Gays and women.
they are not an antagonistzombie enjoyers are the antagonist>societal collapse fantasy>ability to mass murder (not) humans fantasy>prepper psycho>apocalyptic tribal warfare >etcit basically allows americans to have their lust and catharsis of a mass shooting in a "safe horny" way
>>223683812Men are always responsible under gods eyes, we cant just ignore disavow our current lack of strong leadership over Women.
>>223679562She literally has her entire life on Auto pilot liquid easy mode and somehow she still ends up mentally ill and homeless. Give it a few months and she'll be branded with endless tattoos, piercings, cutting scars and doing porn for some cheap Jew.
>>223683931God's*
>>223683935Many such cases
>>223683935>ends up mentally ill and homelessIE: depressed because her boyfriend dumped her
>>223684041I don’t remember her tits being that big
>>223680451Rebecca
>>223684278Mimi
>>223679245It gives normal people an excuse to fantasise about killing their neighbours and co-workers.
>>223681684Why would you post this and then attach an image of the entirely sane protagonist of Day of The Dead, Captain Rhodes?
>>223679562>>223680080Yes, I'm sure that's all true and not a bunch of stuff she made up to make simps blast more money at her while she and her Chad bf living in their six figure penthouse condo lay in their sweaty bed post-sex laughing at all the messages of concern incels are filling her social media up with as they debtmaxx trying to get their "princess" to notice them.
>>223679245they represent the idiot masses consumed by greed and a singular purpose to consume everything around them.
