somebody screen cap glenns popped out eyes.

the show pussed out not making rick actually cut curl's arm. weak poo poo imo they should have at least taken rick's hand. i blame it purely on sfx budget not going to making up an armless main character every ep

Kirkman has said many times that he regrets having Rick's hand cut off because it's difficult to write around.

I don't remember if this is the case in the comics since I only read up to the point where Carl blasts Shane and that's like the first volume, but it's like some kind of weird idiot cultural law that characters involved in a horror setting like zombies have never ever seen or heard of any other similar horror media.

The Talking dead would be a much better if zombies broke into the studio and ate everyone who "works" on that show.

I bet you guys are also surprised when characters in a demonic possession movie don't know what's going on and treat the Catholic priest like a witch doctor until they find out he was right and has the only cure.

Off topic, but I saw Chris Hardwick playing Dungeons and Dragons on some webseries, and he is pretty loving insufferable. He's that guy, actively loving up.

This is a very good question, it also begs to ask why we don't see naked zombies. I don't imagine clothing lasting very long "in the wild" without proper care and it would make for some seriously zany story lines.

The dawn of the dead remake had a naked zombie lady just walking down the street and was superior to the Walking Dead in every other way as well, despite being directed by Zack Snyder.

i did see an episode or two from the later seasons cuz my friend was super into it and they were just like running around braining zombies with buck knives one right after the other like just 20 in a row while jogging not even slowing down and casually talking about some plot thing

then like 10 minutes later someone dies because 2 zombies ambushed them slowly walked towards them from the front? like what did you roll a 1 and critical fail or something?????

Bad news. The nonsense continues for 2 full seasons, and presumably beyond, because that's where I stopped. Somehow only like, 2 characters are likable or good.

if someone's going absolutely gently caress-o-nuts you could chalk it up to drugs or mental illness just as easy as demons
if someone is walking around half rotten, groaning and eating people its pretty loving obvious they're a zombie

hey there's like poo poo tons of psychotic rabid humans out there eating people alive and infecting them with a mystery disease and civilization has collapsed. we've managed to get a ragtag group of survivors together and we're making camp for the night near some woods in the outskirts of town

should we maybe bunch our tents together and post a few people on watch? or... just gently caress it yeah i mean whatever right just post up where ever looks cool lol. i'm a police officer.

woaah these dudes realized that they're still generally limited by the human jaw and can't bite through say chainmail or composite plastics so they just put a bunch of riot gear on and are 99% safe from bites

i like that the very first weapon most humans figured out is somehow a mystery to these idiots. you have a limited supply of ammo that you need to conserve for really dire situations so of course you will have to engage these things physically fairly often. they are slow and their only attacks are grappling and biting. you only need to apparently pop their brain like a water balloon to win and their skulls are somehow about as strong as a soft gourd. so really just need a little range to not get grappled and bit and something pointy to pop that melon. these dipshits literally take stupid poo poo like hammers and small knives and get right in the face of these things that can only grapple and bite. completely ignoring the 20000 year old innovation in hunting/warfare known as the long pointy stick. lashing a knife to a stick or just using the knife to sharpen the stick for a spear is like survival 101 but no lets just actually grapple with undead monsters because lol why not

that's like the least of the problems with this idiotic show though

So to summarize this show:
"Hey guys, the world has basically ended! There's groups of people still scattered around, trying to survive the near impossible odds facing them. We could try and unite the remnants of humanity and pool our resources to rebuild this gay earth, but eh..... lets just be total cunts to everyone at every opportunity. Also: this greasy hick with a child's crossbow and a taste for squirrel is the smartest one among us, and gas is now an even more finite resource so lets funnel what we can find into big rear end trucks that get terrible mileage."

In Z Nation all the character know right away that zombies are zombies. The show also doesn't take itself seriously and has a great "B-movie" feel.

Plus they don't limit being zombies to just humans.
