Unlikeable women

I think both women are lucky the men are so forgiving. I would have let them die at the park.

The movie would have been a lot better (and by that I mean "wouldn't have sucked") if the last half hour was nothing but the two girls being slowly devoured by the zombies. Hated hated hated them, wanted them to die almost as soon as they appeared and got more and more annoyed by the movie as I realized I was supposed to root for this brats.

The same applies to the boy. Tiresome stereotypical geeky twerp.

The more I think about this movie the more it sucks.

Are you familiar with the term "character arc"?

I find that with a lot of female charaters. Most writers think tough woman = cold hearted b!$@h, but in the end they just come off as unlikeable.
Though I like little rock and Witchita do grow on me towards the end.

Please consider me as an alternative to suicide

I know. I couldn't stand them either. Hateful as all hell and pretty *beep* stupid to boot.

I also disliked the characters and the choices they made in the film. I can hardly attribute their ability to "con" as the best or most effective long term survival strategy. Both Wichita and Little Rock were nothing more than lucky they encountered Columbus and Tallahassee and not some professionally trained soldiers or former soldiers like the kind that currently work for private security firms. Their fate would have most likely have been vastly different had they encountered men or other similarly like minded individuals such as themselves with the same skill level or better at "conning" people. Both girls think only in short term goals and do not take into account the repercussions in the decisions they made/make. It would only be a matter of time before all four of them encounter more aggressive survivors and they are killed or taken prisoners or most likely worse in the case of Wichita and Little Rock.

I think a few chill pills need to be swallowed here. It's a movie which is meant for escapism and entertainment. End of!

Because, according to the rules of post-apocalyptic male fantasy, hot female survivors can't possibly have plans or motivations of their own and must be eager to attach themselves to anything male that isn't actively trying to rape them. And be grateful to have found such a gem of a man. An honest-to-god non-rapist. Wow. I mean, what else can you possibly want in a man?

If it isn't already perfectly clear, let me hammer that point: this is the type of fantasy commonly enjoyed by real life losers who can't see themselves attracting a female any other way than to have society collapse, see all their competition dead or undead or whatever, and to have the standards of even the hottest chicks drop to "yay, a non-rapist!".

For shame. Look, just because you're feeling undateable it doesn't mean you can't have a little dignity.

Finding Wichita "unlikeable" because she didn't immediately attach herself and her kid sister to a wet noodle doofus and a crazy-eyed twinkie-obsessed zombie-killing-machine? Says a lot about you. And it is NOT dignified.
