Thing is, you're kinda right, how the fuck did all the main communications got shut down in Walking Dead, doesnt make any sense, it could happen to one state maybe, but the whole world (since they're talking about France being touched too in season 1, it's obviously global, so it must have been some kind of bacteria, volatile, that would infect people all over the world, disappear, and just let us with zombies around everywhere). How the fuck can armies get screwed by zombies, you put mask on them, give them M16 with 5 clips, how the fuck could a squad, or even a fucking tank, get caught? It's a shame that they didnt elaborate more I think, the whole things seem "well end of the world, deal with it", I mean, even the movie The Road (holyfucking awesome movie by the way), they dont tell you ANYTHING, but it is still really easy to get the possibilities, and the fact that it all seems possible. Slow zombies cant bring the world down, but the earth could fuck up things on its own.
And zombies are fun, but why do people still think that it's a possibility? The only thing close to zombies would be a huge nuclear war, people starving / radiated that would kill eachother for food. And that wouldnt be so much fun I guess. But yeah, running zombies, I wouldnt even try I think ahah, but when you think of it, running zombies would be even more "fake", the fact that they can stand up and try to eat, mkay, but having good functional muscles and the ability to run mehh

The last scene in it was incredible. Made up for the rest of the episode and was one of the first times in a while I've said "wow" while watching the show.

Read World War Z for a possibility. Also read Day by Day Armageddon for another more personal account. It's basically ignorance and part politics getting in the way until it's too late.

Also, unlike in the show, your kill rate is not 100%, and definitely not 100% as a civilian, even if you are Rick or Shane or Andrea. You run out of bullets before you kill everything, or you kill everything and attract way more.

The basic premise of zombie movies is either, one infection that spreads. Or whenever you die, you reanimate.

Tanks run out of fuel and ammo, and the cannon is hugely useless for killing zombies. Also, if the commander decides to survey the area or use the mounted machine gun in the open, zombies might get in.

Also, how is a mask going to protect your neck, your legs, your arms from zombie bites?

Zombies aren't supposed to run or use tools. The show really messed up on those. The power of zombies is that they're undead. Never ending numbers, never ending patience, never ending thirst. If they kill you, you join them. The ultimate warrior.

Yeah sure, you're telling me that eventually, a group of 500 hundred soldiers (and thats little compared to the number who are trained and armed) will eventually get over run? Fuck no, they would nuke the center of the spread and anihilate the rest with ease, com'on... And one country might get over run, by bad organisation and contain of the spread, but the world? You're dreaming

There, now can we please skip the part where terrible nerds shit up this thread for ten pages?

You're assuming that the civilization knows what zombies are. Would you know 50 years ago that if a zombie came up to you, you would have to shoot it in the head to survive? And crippling it does nothing? I don't believe it.

You're assuming that zombies are located in one place. Imagine everywhere in the world at once.

You're underestimating numbers. What is the population of New York? Imagine half of that as zombies.

If you haven't noticed, armies are relocated around the world, not just in one area. You'll have some who stick together in the camp, and others who rush back to be with their families. If you stick in a camp, what happens if you're holed up? Do you just walk across the country, scrounging up food that other survivors probably stolen, to feed your group of 500 soldiers, with limited ammunitions? Limited food?

One gunshot attracts more zombies you'll need to dispatch with more gunshots. It's never ending. Shoot one, more come. Shoot a hundred, a thousand comes. You should get the idea. Shoot a hundred thousand, you don't have enough ammunition.

Survive a day; you're at 500, they're at 1000. Survive a week; you're at 499, they're at ten thousand. Survive a month; you're at 495, they're at a million. That's how you lose. Assuming you have enough food to feed everyone for a month.

Also, are you going to nuke a city? Who's going to make that decision? What about the humans that are there? Are you going to make that call?

And what makes you think nukes do anything? That's talked about in Day by Day Armageddon as well. I don't have the book with me so I can't quote. I remember something where you only kill the center of the mass, only after they gathered millions together with a sound beacon. And the bombs only killed several tens of thousands in each major city. Nothing to dent the billions of zombies that exist around the world. Finally, the radioactivity of the area actually slows zombie rotting, and might give them some supernatural powers, like running or increased brain activity.

It is entirely possible, and that's why the genre popped up.

Please read the books, or at least look at them before going on blindly that it couldn't happen. They show very plausible resolutions to what you're arguing.



Nope.

The only way a zombie outbreak could happen is if we didn't know what zombies are, and everyone who dies after a specific time reanimates unless their brain was dead. Any death without brain trauma means reanimation.

The shock of zombies basically slows politics down until the outbreak is too large to contain. Soldiers aren't going to fight zombies unless someone tells them to, and who knows how long that will take.

In this day and age, we are much too aware of what zombies are for people to not be able to deal with them immediately.

Also, there are too many different versions of zombies to talk about.

Is every attractive female in American TV made out to be a slut? Because that's one of my only qualms with this awesome show, and TV in general. Otherwise this is probably one of the best thriller series ever made.
