Or why do they even care about a sick host? Their hosts can keep going even riddled with dozens of bullet holes and limbs hacked off. Is someone having gonorrhea really going to be a concern for it?

It is something about the virus not wanting to contract another virus that could destroy its host. No idea about the cancer though. Maybe the virus sees cancer as a spreadable disease too.

@peedub0322 4 года назад

Think of the infected as an infected cell in a body; and the sick person as a separate virus in a body. Its going to avoid that other virus for survival. Those infected weren't thinking, they were looking to spread to other normal "cells" instinctively.

@@cooleKinder Correction: populations that have close contact with animals tend to create more disease. Case in point: there aren’t nearly as many diseases that originated in the Americas compared to ones that originated in Europe, Asia, etc, solely because the people living there before the 1600s did not have much contact with animals, making it harder to transmit diseases from animals to humans. That’s why so many of the diseases that affected people in the U.S in the 1900s were originally brought to the U.S by European immigrants.

How could you think the book was better than the movie when it removed the most important element that should be part and parcel of anything zombie related; fear. The interviewees telling their stories couldn't have inspired that if you knew they survived to tell their story afterwards. Just doesn't make any sense man

You forgot to mention that the virus in the movie is very different from the one in the book. In the book, the zombies are very much the classic romero type shamblers that will eat prey down to the bones if not distracted even though they do not require sustenance. And infection is a lot slower, though it depends on the bite's distsnce from the brain.

I feel like someone ha the idea of the zombie tower and they lost sight of everything else they could've used from the book, my personal favorite being the comparison of the Battle of Yonkers to the later battles. It really deserves a Contagion style movie, where everything about fighting the virus is dissected and the crucial and interesting details are shown. The best part about its depiction of multiple narratives is you get to see the effects outside of one individual, you get to see the doctor treating "Patient Zero" and the first incidents that grabbed the globes attention, to the very end showing how the post zombie war world is very much different. Heck there's even a guy who tells his story from on the ISS, like how could the movie not use that-

As much as I like the movie, you cannot tell me that wall scene where those zombies fall from the top to the bottom then immediately break into a sprint was possible in the slightest. It doesn't say a thing about the virus strengthening the bones or muscles of those infected so a fall from that height would instantly break the zombies bones and tear muscles and ligaments, really just crippling the zombies and making them just a sitting duck waiting for the soldiers to pick them off

In the Books, the Zombies weren't moving "fast" or do I remember it wrongly? Because, I think to remember the "Account" which described why it was a special challenge to fight those "Slowly moving Waves which regardless of the circumstances simple advanced" which caused, at first, the Soldier to panic and so on.

@MsDragonbal776 3 года назад

Your right, which is another reason why I can't understand why people keep praising the book over the movie. Nobody cares about slow moving zombies. You can just walk around them like they do in the walking dead. The whole idea just completely eliminates any sense of fear

@DaroriDerEinzige 3 года назад

@@MsDragonbal776 The Book was pretty good and I personally enjoyed it more than the Movie. And the issue with "Slow Movin' Zombies" is kinda more complicated because they don't need sleep, aren't stopped by injuries and weren't even stopped by the lack of oxygen. It's simple different. Actually, something which approaches slowly gives a whole different vibe. Which can cause panic. I mean, livin' Dead. Not really something people are used to.

I read the book, and the virus origin is very vague, and patient zero (who may not be) was this kid in this Chinese village, and it was very disturbing when I read it, as it continued to function similarly even after breaking bones, with the ulna piercing through the skin. Yeah I agree, the book adapted to the movie would have been better, because all the individual stories gave it a lot more detail. And while in the book they did manage to restore the world somewhat back to normal in a few years, the governments of several nations where changed, and most likely zombies still underwater, and still in Iceland.
