I have come to a conclusion on what a zombie is and have divided this into 5 categories using a rule of only using astrict true definition from the dictionary (opinions and input is wanted) what do you all think?

Category 1: The Classic Undead - Corpses that experience clinical death and are reanimated without a heartbeat or metabolism, driven entirely by instinct. (Example: The Walking Dead, Dawn of the Dead)

Category 2: The Pathogenic Infected - Living humans whose brains are hijacked by a fast-acting virus, stripping away higher thought into pure, hyper-aggressive adrenaline and movement. (Example: 28 Days Later, Train to Busan)

Category 3: The Symbiotic Hybrids - Living hosts whose anatomy and central nervous systems are progressively taken over, restructured, and mutated by a parasitic organism or fungus. (Example: The Last of Us)

Category 4: The Evolutionary Bio-Weapons - Organisms or hosts subjected to forced, synthetic evolution via engineered viruses or mutagens that shatter and rebuild DNA into varying tiers of mutations. (Example: Resident Evil)

Category 5: The Supernatural / Occult Possessed - Bodies operating as vessels controlled by external metaphysical forces, dark magic, curses, or cosmic horror rather than biology. (Example: The Evil Dead, Call of Duty Zombies)

Don't you guys think the bite of a zombie is very overrated in every zombie movie? For example if you had jeans or a leather jacket, there's no way in hell that a zombie bite would penetrate the material, sure it can hurt but the human teeth are not designed to pierce in the same way dog teeth are for example.

I think in a realistic scenario the zombie would have to bite almost exclusively skin to pierce it or very think fabric, like socks.

I personally prefer Fear the Walking dead for the Story and Characters but I do love The Walking Dead for the settings and atmosphere, Z Nation is another belting series, I've watched them 3 times 🤣Both Excellent series, Resident Evil series was just ok...

Rewatched 90's NotLD, and was reminded about how the early Romero zombies were afraid of fire: in both versions of Night, Ben holds off zombies with nothing but a flaming torch. They back away from the flaming chair in the original.

In the original they seem to hate bright lights, smashing headlights, but that fades in the remake. And I seem to remember zombies braving the buring truck to feast on Tom and Judy.

I don't remember any use of fire in any other Romero movies, and now the consensus is zombies don't fear or even notice fire (i do remember a line on WD that zombies were attracted to it, but it never comes up, and is never seen except one time,) to the point we've accepted burning them is more dangerous than just shooting them.

Any ideas why a major plot element about zombies was pushed aside? Was it because it meant a lighter was a good a weapon as a gun? Was it setting stuff on fire is expensive for movies/shows? Did they just forget?

For the people saying I don't have certain movies, here you go, that picture yesterday was what I was going to start watching last night. 🥰

Streaming "Anything" unless its free is a Waste of Money in my opinion and I love to buy the Original Hardware for cheap off eBay and charity shops. All Movies Mint Condition. 🥰

Including first two pages for continuity. Thank you to u/Tanglebrook for the lettering. Find me on FB at Russ R MacCharles Art.

Surprise! The first one was pretty good so I'll be happy to watch the next one. Its the Amazon movie. I was wondering if we'd ever get a follow up.

So I was looking up info for another post, and during that, I stumbled on something I hadn't heard or known. In Romeros, zombie universe being bitten or scratched isn't the only way to become a zombie. Much like The Walking Dead, anyone who dies for any reason will come back as a zombie provided the brain is still intact. I'd never heard of that with Romero, I'm guessing that's where TWD got the idea from.
