I actually just started a new post with this exact same message for people.

Its been awhile since the early days of both shows, but from what i remember and gathered, the early part of people turning into zombies caught people off guard and in disbelief at first. Which would most likely spread somewhat quickly at first, but once word got out, it would slow very fast. It wasnt hard to stay away, get away or kill the zombies.
So yes, unknowing and panic would get some unexpected. Alot of people could've gotten away easily. its not like a contagion that spreads. Its just when a person dies, they turn. So, once it became known whats happening, all our agencies could have swept, exterminated and controlled the problem easily.
I mean, if you watched the early episodes of ftwd, they show reserve guys firing 50 cals into a crowd of zombies. Nice thing about zombies, they are lined up well and dead flesh is easier to penetrate than live flesh. So they'd be mowing down zombies. You don't need head shots. Yes, head shots kill, but the zombies would be tore up beyond useful to be harmful. Yet they showed the weapons to be useless. Actually they showed bullets bouncing off chain link fence more than hitting zombies but the fence stayed intact (LMAO). Also, what were those portrayed zombies gunna do against tanks and big army trucks. Even if there was a horde of zombies and your in a tank you wouldnt need to shoot. Simply run them over. It be far more effective.
You could've simply pulled out the heavy construction equipment and go for a spin. These zombies would just be squished by the thousands.
This show showed SO MUCH DISBELIEF it was absurd really. But i watched both almost to the end. Some of the parts that are well known and took the cake are the magical van episode and the Glenn surviving. One part i really hated but i dont think got talked about as much is the episode that the governor must have had a gps tracking device on Andrea, cus he tracked her down throughout with ease.
Feel free to reminisce and jot down your memories of ridiculous unrealistic scenes of the show.
Certainly goes over the top. Story and concept was different, but just too much ridiculousness
Im with you. Dragged more than needed to. Lots unrealistic stuff. Must have been an alternative reality, lol
Id have to look i either quit twd after season 9 or it was halfway through 10. Ftwd i stopped halfway through season 6 i think.
My biggest struggle with both these series is these walking dead couldn't or wouldn't take down any army. Its a joke to think so.
I dont even think the zombies on world war Z could take on the army, but at least those zombies have a far better chance.
The question i always asked myself during the twd and ftwd was, "sounds attract zombies, so with the wind, trees, birds, animals, the zombies would be bouncing all over the place wouldn't they. But most the time they were aimlessly wondering until humans were there."
I couldnt have said it any better. If i had a time machine, that certainly would be a good time to back too. Lol
Did you finish both shows till very end?
I always struggle with movies like this for all the points you mentioned. Its like Jurassic park. You have dinosaurs, so handguns and small caliber weapons wont be very effective. You'd have large caliber weapons at all locations.
Just like the zoo, they dont put a elephant in the same cage as they'd put the prairie dogs. Or a polar bear in a cage made for the eagles. Etc etc
I just watched this. Waste of time certainly. You said alot i was thinking to.
But i was wondering how these zero tech creatures could take down our modern weaponry at all.
I just watched movie. It certainly was terrible. I made my own post of a bunch of ridiculousness. I didnt write it all out. Too timed consuming. Alot of what you pointed out bothered me to.
I thought film was terrible. Utter garbage. I made my own post if you wonder my thoughts
I was 11. I really liked it back then. Still good movie but my perspective is different.
Well, i wouldnt say it peaked in season 5 necessarily. Season 3 or 4 was peak for me. But i was invested in watching show so i continued. I just felt it certainly should've ended after 5 cuz it was getting to be too much.
No problem trying to spin something to except it easier, lol
Yes they were. Lots gave me crap on my post. And i was really into the show. I enjoyed it at the time. But it still had obvious bullcrap in each episode. i honestly thought they did it on purpose, lol.
I understand why imdb shut the message boards down, but i miss it. Its hard to discuss anything these days though.
1. There's just not near the volume of people on 1 message board like there was on imdb.
2. People get so butt hurt over nothing.
3. The trolls are just as ridiculous as ever.
4. People are cruel just cuz they dont like your idea or thought.
Its insane
Since its a movie. I enjoy the idea. They murdered his wife, raped his daughter and were getting away with it. So, him taking revenge on the perpetrators was ok in my book. And to me, its not wrong. So it doesnt fit the bill of 2 wrongs dont make it right.
And if your the type that believe what he did was wrong, its still not 2 wrongs dont make it right. The perpetrators were the 1st wrong, the police unwillingness and capacity to do anything was the 2nd wrong. Then his revenge would be the 3rd wrong in your book if you believe that
I'll take your word for it. Unfortunately i read his thread b4 the comments, lol. Im on alert now.
Im glad you gave me that kinda credit, lol. Nope, just a simple wish it be remade always crosses my mind and thats as far as it goes. But if i heard they were remaking it, then id start thinking how should they imo.
I could come up with some good actors out there to play obi-wan. And also not thinking of some as well. Needing to find luke and han solo actors too. Again, i could come up with some great ideas of my liking. But others may not. Darth vader voice stay the same with james earl joins.
I have a huge sense of humor and sarcasm. Too much sometimes. But i always try to let the person know im just messing around, i dont mean to offend.
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving if you celebrate it
I still have not watched "bored to death" yet. I gotta get to that one if these times
Enjoy the rest when you do. Stop back and give your final thoughts
