The creator was also a wirter/producer for Z-Nation and there was mention of Black summer on the show but said creator mentions it will not be like Z-Nation with the goofiness.

April is packing with great things to come.

@solbane Sometimes it takes a few days or so after something has been released before someone posts links here. Shouldn't be too long though.

The basis for postmodern zombies as proposed by Romero (in 1968) Night of the Living Dead is that the average capitalist has turned into a mindless consumer.

Humanity 10,000-12,000 years ago switched from being hunter-gathers and if you actually know any bushcraft, it requires immense levels of wild edibles as plants and animals to sustain. Otherwise civilization, such as it is, tends to be stable as new births are balanced by deaths and harsh winters kill off many.

Then human beings switched to an agrarian model in which herds were raised and crops were grown and pottery allowed water collection, and food was dried and stored to get through winter. Certain foods improved nutrition and lowered disease and wild medicinals in herbs lowered the death rate. The first organized forms of crude obstetrics obviously form.

So up until about 1920, the entire world partipated in a paradigm and added to science and the humanities while daily building fires,making pottery, growing crops, raising animals, and largely medicine existed in the absence of drugs. Honestly the pharmaceutical drugs were not available until 1940 and beyond.

@AnhedoniaNightmare The consumerism aspect didn't arrive until '78 with Dawn of the Dead.

The original premise for Night of the Living Dead was far different. It had nothing to do with consumerism or the rise of urbanisation - and everything to do with very basic human behaviour. Only when there is a common enemy do we stand together - and only once that common enemy is clearly identified and the shooting begins.

Between shots, we will bicker and argue, fight for positional rank and resources, and for the most part, refuse to communicate or corporate until the sh*t fits the fan. This is a running theme through ALL post-Romero zombie movies.

In Night - they bicker, argue and kill their own.

In Dawn - they bicker and argue. Once they all find their place within their new group, another arrives to take it. Then they start killing them.

In Day - they bicker, argue and kill their own.

@DemandingFemale George Romero himself in interviews supports what I wrote. He made it clear in the second film.

If you subtract this subtext, then zombie films are just ridiculous.

28 Days later went a different route entirely and made the theme more overt and a commentary about the inherent violent nature inside all of us, as well as the great evils of animal experimentation. This is why zombie purists insist they are not zombies.

From a medical perspective and as someone who has studied the sciences, then zombies having clear brain damage would likely lose all ability to be ambulatory and unlikely to pose a threat as they could not use their limbs nor bite.

Then in TWD, it becomes extremely problematic as they don't breathe, thus no Kreb's cycle is going on which requires oxygen, no nutrition is going on, no creation of ATP ie adenosine triphosphate is being generated, thus they would have no "energy" to do work. So the author of TWD created an eternal zombie, how ridiculous. The infections with just the loss of the epidermis would be fatal, as happens in burn victims, but in TWD, massive blood loss from amputations and huge loss of skin tissue layers, all medically untreated, then would kill the host. Even the elements would cause hypothermia and shock and that would kill the host. Dehydration in 72 hours would kill the zombies.
