    “I like this movie, but do we really need the whole war part of it?”

    “Well, I mean… it’s a movie ABOUT World War 2…”

    “Yeah, but… I just think it’s so depressing and violent.”

    “IT’S ABOUT A WAR.”

      Tbf isn’t there a trope of zombie movies having too much romance drama instead of scavenging and surviving?

        Well that’s the funny thing, Zombie Movies have never actually been about Zombies, that’s the point.

        They’re about one or more of a few things;

        • the impossibility of surviving and living a happy life in a world obsessed with consumerism
        • the human ability to survive the impossible
        • society will survive an apocalypse, by banding together
        • the real monsters are humanity

          the real monsters are humanity

          They’re all so fucking proud of this one too, like it hasn’t been done to death.
