Something tells me this idiot has never seen the Romero trilogy of zombie movies because the whole point of those movies is about how people relate in a crisis. The zombies are hostile scenery.
These kinds of dorks are always illiterate in the genres they try to police.
i still remember when he was trying to make the racist argument that rap wasn’t music by using a12-tone equal temperament western music theory as an arbitrary benchmark. huge dork energy
how people relate in a crisis.
The first three seasons of Fear the Walking Dead were really good in this respect too. Lots of moral grey area making you wonder what you would do in the same situation.
It’s a shame that Gimple got his grubby hands over the series and completely fucking ruined it in S04 onward :bawllin-sad: It was fr some of the best TV I’ve ever seen, really careful and fleshed out character development.
I actually heard the bassline in this post, it felt so authentic to DotD.
Sorry but do you mean Dawn or Day by DotD. They have the same acronym lol, and both have great soundtracks
I’m not even that super big on zombie lore and media and fell off the wagon on the walking dead after like 2 seasons, but whenever anyone says “the zombies aren’t really a threat” you can immediately assume the person speaking is an idiot who knows nothing about what they’re critiquing.
The entire point of the zombie genre is that the zombies are never the scariest monster!!!
Whenever there are no zombies onscreen, all the other characters should be asking “where are the zombies?”
It is about two gay dudes who meet and have a relationship in which one grows strawberries for the other
Cool, sounds rad as fuck.
No real threat
Wonder why he failed as a screenwriter.
If you write zombie fiction and it’s actually about the zombies you have failed as a writer
yeah zombies are boring vilains on their own strength. They are only good at creating a background of constant danger to highten the rest of the story
as an example of a story I would love to read. What if a classic murder mystery but they can’t leave or get help because there are zombies outside
It’s like if you wrote a story that takes place in a hurricane and it’s just about how the hurricane’s really bad and does a lot of damage to stuff and also someone died from the hurricane.
That’s just the news. The zombies are there as an existential threat, but more than that as a catalyst for the end of the world, and a reversion to a more directly brutal social order, where people are being executed because it’s the preferred alternative to sharing food with them. That’s where the good shit is. People senselessly carrying over grudges from the old world, or using the collapse of the status quo as an excuse to run free as monsters. It’s about the people who are just stuck in that shit. Regular people, without elite military training, because if they’re just hyper-competent and can deal with this new world like they were born for it it’s a boring-ass story with no emotional stakes.
Also I do like your story idea, i envision a guy giving the big reveal of who did it at the precise moment a zombie breaks in through the window and he gets dragged out and torn to pieces and everyone has to run but they’re also piecing together the clues that guy just laid out and figuring out who they can trust
