Its a brand Omari got in a frat and has nothing to do with Snyder. Its just a coincidence.

Coincidence or serendipity? It’s in the film, and fairly prominent. Snyder has always been very strong on casting as characterization

And the movie doesn't then have the alien leave Ripley alone, alive and unbitten, despite having killed or bitten every other human it has met, whereas that's what Zeus did.

Wait isn’t that exactly what it does in that scene

Again, it’s good not to get caught up in franchise thinking. You don’t need to show the dried zombies getting rehydrated, when it’s just a lead-up to the hibernating zombies that appear shortly afterwards.

The overall point is that the ‘traditional zombies’ are no longer an issue because they don’t have, like, goals. After the last humans left, they literally just stood outside, baking in the sun, for like five years.

Then don't omit counterpoints. I am not surprised you think it "only benefits me", because I am certain you have no real point to make beyond ad hominems. And yes, we're doing this. Tribe has an anthropological meaning and it isn't my fault that you're too much of a dunce to know that. Now, anthropology certainly has ethical issues to contend with, but one of them is not the fact they use the word "tribe" to describe a certain societal structure.

No we really don’t, the term “tribe” is broadly considered both analytically vague and terminologically outdated, in large part because of its colonialist connotations and its use in legal settings to refer to something totally different than the cultural evolution concept. I don’t see anything in the film to indicate the zombies have a social structure that would correspond to a traditional elman service esque tribal concept anyway

The term tribe is still used in anthropology and taught in anthropology classes to this day.

I did a quick and informal check of some of my colleagues who teach anth101 or similar courses (I asked in a group chat). None of them teach this term except in an historiographic sense, explaining the changes in thought on cultural evolution. I’d be interested in when/where you’re seeing classes that are still teaching band/tribe/chiefdom/state as a model

This is a very commonly held opinion among PhDs, don't worry.
