Idea for a horror comedy movie:
A group of teenagers encounter the first zombie and put it down, but the damn thing just keeps getting back up.
How about one that diverts expectations?
Like, instead of slow zombies, you get fast ones. Faster than they could run before. Maybe even faster than some vehicles. Because they don’t feel pain.
And instead of dumb zombies, they are smart. They set traps, use tools. Maybe even drive cars.
Shooting the brain also does nothing. You got to shoot them in the ass since that is the way the parasite entered the body and how they communicate with the hive.
And like all the zombie preppers die-out quickly because they think the zombies will react like the ones from Hollywood. So they think they can play the hero while being outsmarted by fast zombies.
Humanity would not last long, and afterwards the world is populated entirely by a zombie civilization that looks eerily similar to our own but like better.
World War Z - fast
Reanimator - smart
The Return of the living dead - immune to headshots
Dreamcatcher - Alien Ass Parasites
Zombieland - unlikely survivors
I don’t think you’re as original as you think you are, pal.
I like it. Let’s do that. But then the twist happens.
The super fast super genius zombies get infected. And now they have to survive in a apocalyptic post-apocalyst. Directed by M Night.
pretty bizarre to see a zombie pop out and presume kt is the first and only zombie in the world
Could just be a regular necromancy zombie.
After seeing how excited some folks got during COVID, that’s genuinely somewhat of a worry for me. Kind of like how lonely, young men can be sold on the idea of war, because they think they’ll finally be adored as a hero, you can just as well find preppers who think they’ll finally be adored, because they bought toilet paper before everyone else could.
In the case of COVID, it was thankfully a disappointment for the preppers, in that the best survival strategy was staying in your cushty home. That will be the case for the vast majority of infectious diseases. But I still bet someone out there had the intrusive thought that maybe they shouldn’t help reduce the spread of COVID, because you won’t be deemed a hero without a real crisis…
The worst part of a viral apocalypse is that it takes a fuckton of stupid, unobservant and selfish people to spread it irreparably before it’s noticed. The best part is that, in the West at least, we have witnessed an adequate amount of aforementioned morons who’d do just that in our universe
I’m just saying the vaccine to cure zombification is more dangerous than the zombie bite! I could get autism or something!
“You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.”
Strangely enough, those “simple farmers” are those who will avoid you because they need to get the work done.
Unless they happen to be on SocialMedia and the propaganda algorithm wants them to be conspiracy theorists.
Oh, if zombies are very slow-motion slow, blind & death, it takes at least 10 bites to infect you, and you basically have to help them move their jaw to actually bite you - we are stil not surviving the apocalypse.
We will however have to go to work through all if it.

Accelerationism in a nutshell.
Literally not. Accelerationism is for speeding up things that will happen anyways, while here there is a choice between it happening and not happening at all.
It is specifically about causing an imagined future crisis to happen as soon as possible to get to the imagined golden age following it
Accelerationism is a range of ideologies that call for the drastic intensification of capitalist growth, technological change, and other processes of social change to destabilize existing systems
Yeah this is first sentence of the wikipedia article about it. I mean its also kinda in the name “accelerate” implies there is something that already exists that people want to accelerate. So a preventable zombie apocalypse doesnt fit no matter which way it is framed.
On lemmy.ml they’d be arguing that the zombie should be supported because a zombie apocalypse will destroy US imperialism.
And in the US they would claim the zombie was made by China.
And that any evidence of the zombie eating brains is simply Western propaganda.
Like the girl in the comic, for example. The zombie didn’t eat her brain and she’s clearly very smart.
Probably a net benefit for the environment, too…
ah yes, ecofascism
But not seriously
Sometimes it feels like I’m the only motherfucker on the internet that doesn’t want humanity to die off.
What’s wrong with y’all?
We love nature and hate what humanity has become. Simple
Zombies are people too. Technically humanity “lives” on.
Protect zombie rights to eat, donate your brain and join the hord today!
A super-win for biodiversity, the last hail Mary that somehow unexpectedly worked.
I dunno. It’d be nice to mix things up a bit. Find a whole new set of things to worry about.
It would also be so much very a lot eco friendly.
