People in zombie movies and shows that don’t know what zombies are. I know it’s so they can use cool descriptions like “the infected” or “walkers” or “the dead”. The zombie word sounds kinda silly. But I still don’t like it.

Van Helsing did the mirror thing which was cool. I think Dracula Dead and Loving It did too.

Side thought. I loved in From Dusk Til Dawn when they’re trying to think of all the folklore that they could remember. Like whether silver was supposed to hurt vampires too or just werewolves.

Another side thought, I love when they know about the monsters like in Shaun of the Dead. It always bothers me when it’s an alternate universe that’s never heard of Zombies before.

It’s been a minute, but I thought the audio logs showed that it was just people fucking each other over and doing morally shitty things WAY before everyone went crazy.

Also, the lack of regulation allowed the drugs to be created and allowed it to be distributed to the level that it was. You could come up with different methods for the same disaster, but that doesn’t undermine it. It still caused this disaster and was seemingly preventable.

Also, you could argue that absolutism is the real evil. I think in the second one they tackle socialism. I didn’t play much of it and the timeline in comparison to the original confuses me. Buy it kinda implies that going to the extreme with no safeguards is problematic.

Funny, I just responded a similar response with 28 Days Later as an example and didn’t notice yours.

Interesting that you like the tropes. I like the fact that there’s some variation depending on your preference.

I like zombies that are infected and not reanimated. They’re fast but die from normal damage. 28 Days Later is one of my favorites and it’s a major point of emphasis.

The Walking Dead on the other hand is hard to take seriously sometimes because of the contrivances from slow moving zombies, and the fact that 10 year old zombies are still around bothers me. Although the idea of having a normal running society, but the dead reanimate is a very interesting concept that I would love to see explored.

I liked the FF8 remaster. The field models are just field models. It’s not like they look like the FMV cutscene character models on the original either. They’re just so distorted that you have to imagine the FMV characters.

Editing out Siren’s bush was a sin though.

Edit: Oh, and getting rid of vibration. I had forgot about that until just now. That was 100% the worst part of the remaster. I hope they’re fixing that, because otherwise what’s the point in the demaster?

How dare you. They’ll also be sexist and homophobic. And xenophobic. And aporophobic. And transphobic.
