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.

He really had the right idea and few people have been able to get it right since. His first few zombie movies in particular still hold up very well

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

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

Woah there Kotaku, let’s not imply that being edgy and embarrassing are mutually exclusive when they are very much not.

If we made an Alec McKinney theme’d video game where the enemies were morbidly obese blond guys in American flag t-shirts, neckbeards in Pepe t-shirts, klansmen, neo-nazis, the game wouldn’t last an hour on steam before being released and the creator being :vote:d.

If you really wanted to retaliate in the medium, a Ruby Ridge simulator would piss them off pretty good.

Valid criticism. It was better when the right hated the feds imo

a Willem Van Spronsen game as a rogue-like version of Smash TV could be pretty interesting

Turning his life&death into a game puts an awful taste in my mouth

Prison liberation as a broader concept could be cool, maybe in the vein of Tonight We Riot where “the collective effort” is the main character
