“I like my monsters scary and predominately unappealing, but there are always exceptions. “
Zombies are zombies, just dead. TWD honors the zombie persona by actually affirming that they are not diseased/infected humans (World War Z, 28 days later etc) but reanimated corpses which is the most accepted theorem. In addition, I prefer my vampire on screen as the 30 Days & Nights’ vampire (bloodthirsty animal type) vs the faggot vampire (Twilight).
How can corpses reanimate?
I mean, think about it, they died, usually for a reason. The body is broken to the point they died, usually in some catastrophic failure of major systems or a system.
How do they reanimate without any repair to the original damage?
I could accept that some corpses could become zombies IF the death was unusual like suffocation and didn’t result in massive trauma, but seriously, the whole concept is stupid from a medical/science standpoint.
What scientific rationale is there for it? Has anyone really tried to describe it? Once an animal dies, organs immediately start to decompose, individual cells rupture, and chemical breakdowns and processes begin. Think about the efforts medical science uses to do transplants and the short period of time a candidate organ has to be viable.
That has always been my problem with zombies—the whole idea is preposterous!
“TWD honors the zombie persona by actually affirming that they are not diseased/infected humans (World War Z, 28 days later etc)”
I thought earlier in the series, when they stopped by the CDC in Atlanta, the scientist there said it was something in the brain that reanimated them. To my mind, “logical” zombies are impossible because the systems that keep the body “functioning” are shut down. Zombies are supernatural, they have to be.
