Do you remember zombies rising from the graves in Night of the Living Dead? Do you think they were bitten in their graves? Just like Romero movies, being bitten causes death in a few hours and then you rise. The bite causes infection and death NOT zombification. Just being dead causes you to become a zombie. It wasn't until recent movies that they started the bite means infection and that's the only way you can turn BS.

I guess you haven't seen them then. They never say why. A bite or scratch KILLS you and you become a zombie after death. Anyone who dies for ANY reason in the Romero movies becomes a zombie. THAT is why old ass zombies in their graves come back. They were never bitten, they were dead, and the dead rise. All of them.

What right do you have to say that I haven't seen the movies ? You don't know what you're talking about. They almost always say why. It seems like YOU'RE the one that hasn't seen any of the movies. In the Romero movies (the later ones, anyways) it is almost always explained why. As I said, if you can understand proper english, they turn into zombies by inhaling powdered zombies, getting bit, getting scratched, etc. As to the zombies coming out the grave, do you really think that just happens ? Something has to happen for them to become zombies. In the same movie as the powdered zombies, the rain and zombie powder soaked into the ground.

This IS the place to argue it. We're talking about a zombie show and, therefore, rules of zombies.

Of the six zombie movies written and directed by Romero he never tells why zombies are rising. From Zombiepedia: "In Romero's Dead series, any human being who dies after the onset of the zombie apocalypse can and will reanimate shortly after death, excluding those who died by massive brain trauma (such as a gunshot wound to the head) or had their brain incapacitated post-mortem. Being bitten by a zombie is not a prerequisite for returning to life, as any deceased human, regardless of exposure to a zombie, will return. No Romero film has definitively revealed the cause of reanimation, but several have featured characters speculating on possible causes, including radiation from a NASA probe, divine intervention, and viral infection. The length of time between death and reanimation seems to vary, but generally is only a few minutes. If a character is bitten by a zombie, they will become violently ill and die within three days. The interim till death seems to be dependent on the location and degree of the bite (meaning that bites on or near major arteries or veins will spread the infection much faster than small bites or scratches). Multiple bite wounds will cause the infection to spread all the faster. Also, massive blood loss caused by one of these bites will speed the death of the victim." How does that not describe the zombies in Walking Dead? If anything the series (which I agree is not perfect) is the closest to Romero Zombies since Romero did it (i.e walking, not running, head shots kill, etc.) |
Re: Why aren't you watching (Insert show and reason)?
What does it matter if Romero wrote the movies or not ? In the later movies, it's been explained how zombies can come out of the ground. As I said, in one movie, the zombies came out of the ground because the ash-ified zombies from the crematorium went into the air, it rained, and the zombie ashes soaked into the ground.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire...res_in_fiction Bram Stoker's Dracula was hugely influential in its depiction of vampire traits, some of which are described by the novel's vampire expert Abraham Van Helsing. Dracula has the ability to change his shape at will, his featured forms in the novel being that of a wolf, bat, dust and fog. He can also crawl up and down the vertical external walls of his castle, in the manner of a lizard. One very famous trait Stoker added is the inability to be seen in mirrors, which is not found in traditional Eastern European folklore. Dracula also had protruding teeth, though was preceded in this by Varney the Vampire and Carmilla... Traditional vampire folklore, followed by Stoker in Dracula, does not usually hold that sunlight is fatal to vampires, though they are nocturnal... A well-known set of special powers and weaknesses is commonly associated with vampires in contemporary fiction. There is a tendency, however, for authors to pick and choose the ones they like, or find more realistic, and have their characters ridicule the rest as absurd. For example, in the movie Blade, the vampire hunter Blade tells Karen Jenson what kills vampires (stakes, silver, and sunlight), and dismisses tactics seen in vampire movies (namely crosses and running water) as ineffective in killing vampires. Some vampires can fly. This power may be supernatural levitation, or it may be connected to the vampire's shape-shifting ability. Some traditions hold that a vampire cannot enter a house unless he or she is invited in. Generally, a vampire needs be invited in only once and can then come and go at will. Stephen King's novel Salem's Lot explored an unusual direction with this myth in having one of the protagonists revoke a vampire's invitation to a house; the vampire was forced to flee the building immediately. Some tales maintain that vampires must return to a coffin or to their "native soil" before sunrise to take their rest safely. Others place native soil in their coffins, especially if they have relocated. Still other vampire stories such as Le Fanu's Carmilla maintain that vampires must return to their coffins, but sleep in several inches of blood as opposed to soil. Vampires are generally held to be unable to bear children, though the concept of a "half vampire" and similar creatures does exist in folklore and in some modern fiction. Some fictional vampires are fascinated with counting, an idea derived from folk stories about vampires being compelled to stop and count any spilled grain they find in their path... |

Re: Why aren't you watching (Insert show and reason)?
Can we please stop feeding the troll? He's arguing himself in circles, saying he doesn't like a TV show because of stuff that happens in books in the series that haven't been used in the show yet, as well as saying that drugs are things that are made, not naturally occurring. Also, I'm not really sure what he's doing in TV talk since he obviously doesn't watch much of any current TV. Much less any good TV.

Are things really that black and white to you, or are you seriously trolling this thread? |
Re: Why aren't you watching (Insert show and reason)?
Yeah for fucks sake go away with all that bickering!
everytime i see this thread pop up to the top i expect another list or some reply about someone else's list. but no, it's endless pages of pointless bickering about Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, Good VS Bad and coffee(..?) |
Re: Why aren't you watching (Insert show and reason)?
I'm not a troll. I'm just giving my thoughts on things. It's really funny (not ha-ha funny) how people get so upset when people disagree with them. Like their opinion is so much more important than everyone else's. How is it that other people on here can write, seemingly, whatever they like and it's fine, but when I read what they write and give my view on it, people jump on me for absolutely no reason whatsoever ? Does what I think about certain things really affect your life so much that you'll get all upset ? Don't you think that's a bit sad ? Most of you people sound like the trolls here. I mean, no matter what I say, someone says that I'm wrong...even if I'm not. Well, I may be wrong sometimes, but so what ? You trolls don't have to reply to anything I say. And you most definitely don't have to reply contradicting me just for the sake of it. Why is it that I'm the only one here that gets personally attacked for giving their views on things ? Do you really have nothing more going on in your lives that what I say really matters to you or offends you ?
