Dire warnings of the apocalypse mistaken for prank
Nodaisho:
I don't think it was supposed to turn into the zombie thread again, it just did.
Patrick:
That thread was about undead zombies. These zombies are actually alive and aware (see: the hemocytes in the film version of I Am Legend, except it hasn't been clarified whether they are incapable of survival in sunlight) and are a much different threat, and no guide has been written for them.
Boro_Bandito:
Yeah, but at the same time we've covered both "slow" and "fast" zombies a la 28 Days later pretty extensively in that other thread as well. The ones from I am Legend were also hardly self-aware, I mean, the ones from the book were, but then the book was about vampires specifically, and the original Film adaptation The Last Man On Earth had the kind from the book that went self-aware enough to try and fight their own disease, but the "slow" vampires from that one actually went on to inspire George Romero's Night of the Living Dead which in turn revolutionized the Post apocalyptic and zombie movie genres, which up until recently the staple was primarily of the "slow" kind.
You following me?
Melodic:
The ones from I Am Legend are vampires goddammit.
Patrick:
In the film version, they were able to be killed (I love that phrase, it is a hell of an ability) by reg'lur ol' gunshot wounds, could feel pain, and were obviously bright enough to rebuild the same trap he used on them. I am using them as a model for right now.
