Fast Zombies Vs Slow Zombies… Depends. Depends on what type of zombie you are after.
I have this argument every…. single… time… I talk to another zombie fan. Which one is better fast zombies vs slow zombies? Really does it matter?
The one that is better is the one that serves the story that’s being told at the moment. That’s it. That’s all.
If you want to argue that zombies can’t possibly run due to the muscles decomposing blah blah blah….. I’m going to have to point out to you that we’re arguing about a fictional monster and that you possibly may be insane.
Don’t be insane.
Try this one as a test “naked chick holding an open can of beer.”
I agree, it depends on thier motivation. I will say that fast zombie scare the peewhatdawdillins out of me , but even the slow ones when they swarm you tend to rip you to pieces pretty fast
It’s all fictional so if you want your zombies climbing walls and celings like spiderman, go for it… although that would be a convincing point for me to join the cool-aid line… Watched Z-Nation and they had a mega-herd of zombies roaming down from Alberta Canada (only 1 RCMP in the parade uniform) as a Canadian I’d be offended if I hadn’t been laughing so damn hard that the reason was that zombies all head south for the winter because of the cold… Did have a thought about that mega-herd though and it’s plausability( yes fiction I know). But they are supposed to be fairly mindless or highly focused on eating the living, I think that a lot of those zombies would have been bumping into each other, tripping and getting trampled or crushed up against the sides of buildings by the weight of the others behind…
So how plausible is a mega-herd for actually happening?
Then again these were Canadian zombies, so very polite and accommodating. 😉
Perhaps the squishy decomposing flesh would improve surface tension, thus their grip on vertical surfaces. So perhaps wall-climbing zombies might be feasible after all…
The next test should be like getting unmotivated (Weed or something).
Zombies with munchies – not a pleasant thought!
Actually not much different from the regular brain-chomping sort.
XD My dad can’t find slow zombies plausible or remotely capable of overthrowing humanity, and is unable to suspend his disbelief for movies and shows featuring them… Honestly, I’m with this comic and my boyfriend on our zombie talks – I expect that the speed of the zombie would depend on motivation… And just how fresh the zombie was. A newer, less decayed zombie would probably be quicker.
Keeping in mind that we’re talking about a fictional/theoretical monster I would always find a fast zombie scarier.
I can shoot a small target like a zombies head if it’s slowly lurching towards me. But that same target rapidly approaching and bobbing while the zombie runs. Nope I’m probably going to die at that point.
Insanity is fun
It also depends on perspective. For example, from the point of view of someone whose hoping not to be a walking corpse, the slow ones are better. 😉
See that’s just quiter talk. You’ll enjoy being a zombie. Unlimited endurance, all the people you can eat… What’s not to love.
restricted diet,all your friends are dead(you ate them),all your enemy’s are dead(and still bugging you) your nose pops off and worse still is if your blood stops pumping all intoxicants never reach the brain!(you could just jam them in through any convenient hole but im sure that would end you-again)however if you all want to zombiefy im sure you might want to wait until i’ve drunk Scotland dry ‘cos pickled brains sounds tasty even to me
And modular limbs. Arm falls off? No worries! Just reattach someone else’s arm. Problem solved. 😉
