zombies are the horror aesthetic of liberatory violence from the perspective of the rich & white.
this is one of those hilarious times when the unthinking rightwinger stumbles into being correct by identifying themes a lot of people miss simply by being so gonzo in their ideological commitment theyr immune to seeing the criticism in the work
“When did zombie movies get all SJW and political???”
“1968”
Has this game even sold that much? I feel like it’s one of those games where the notoriety outweighs its actual popularity.
Woah there Kotaku, let’s not imply that being edgy and embarrassing are mutually exclusive when they are very much not.
I’ve said it before but we really need to go back to the Romero zombies. Have them as a critique of consumerist culture and have the ‘heroes’ as regular chumps and not all stoic, grim borderline superheroes.
I’ve said this before too, Zack Snyder’s 2004 Dawn reboot was the reactionary Christian right coopting what was originally quite a progressive genre of fiction
Zack Snyder sucks so much shit, it’s unreal
Every franchise he touches is worse for it
The original Night of the Living Dead was presented more as a natural disaster, and how people react to that. Also, as soon as the military showed up, the zombies were done (since really, there’s no way for zombies to last against a military). Hence, it’s only a night.
And then come Dawn the government’s managed to do absolutely nothing about a horrible infectious disease, while the media bickers amongst themselves and willingly airs false information for views
