Re: The Walking Dead series!

Your desire to lump "anime" into one massive amorphous organism with never-changing features is insulting and ignorant.

You're right. All shows under the label "anime" are completely unique, and are not identifiable as anime in any over-arching way. The only unifying factor is that they are ALL good, with great dialogue (especially translated into a language with extremely few similarities to the base one) and plots. Not a single one contains overblown and inappropriate reactions. My generalization was entirely wrong, and I should have named every single anime which has done these things.

You've taken the spirit of sarcasm we endear at this place and turned it into something gross and pitiful.

Re: The Walking Dead series!

While I can enjoy zombies as a plot device, the constant use of them in almost all forms of media over the past few years have seriously made me fatigued of them. Perhaps we could find new avenues for future plots? {:3

A very manly zombie movie needs to be made, one with some huge dude that drives a supercharged muscletruck with curved blades on the front at face height, that runs zombies down for fun to impale their heads on said spikes, doing so in a drunken stupor the entire time, and likes to stomp new mudholes in their asses for fun. And it needs gratuitous breast shots of women, and chauvinism ever present. And it needs a zombie pit. And midget zombies. And lots of classic rock through the entire film. And there can never be too much gore, ever.

Zombies don't ever get old. In fact, there's plenty of ways to improve upon the genre, most especially by appealing to the lowest common denominator, but doing so with class. A classy zombie movie is full of senseless violence, gratuitous female nudity, even more gratuitous gore, and it is done so in a manner that elicits a sense of laughter and/or respect. The Evil Dead series, while not technically a series of zombie movies, had these elements in abundance. That series is a suitable model for which to derive such a film's structure.

There was a zombie movie with a "rat monkey", which upon biting a human victim caused them to transform into zombies after a period of time. There was also a movie about zombie sheep.

Straight up: you dumb. I don't even like anime, but you is dumb.

Protip: I barely post here. I literally only post on the pav when I'm drunk or bored and want to debate. If you reply to that statement with anything less than a masterpiece, I'm going to humiliate you in a long, boring exchange that you will never live down because you are either an ignorant child lacking any semblance of taste or a bad troll.

Fair warning.

We need another Army of Darkness or Evil Dead?!

Re: The Walking Dead series!

I always thought there should be a mainstream kung fu zombie movie. Would like to see Jackie Chan do it, but he's getting ooooooooooold.

Pages from one of their issues, yes. The whole series, no. But yes, I liked what I saw and yes, shame on me. I shall bow my head in shame.

Really? We're in the midst of the vampire uprising, and its zombies you think should be curtailed? I say we need them to counter the romanticized tomfoolery of modern vampires. After all, they are the true opposites of vamps: instead of being intellectual, emotional, pale-pretty types full of brooding, angst, and hemoglobin, they are rotting, putrid, unthinking masses, operating only on instinct and hunger. Relatively harmless out in the open or alone, but in masses nigh-unstoppable.

Of course, I also like them because they tie in so well with the post-apocalyptic setting I enjoy. Vampires can (I Am Legend was a good story, and I just saw the 2007 movie of it and was impressed by Smith's performance, even if the CGI 'infected' looked terrible), but not as well.

Re: The Walking Dead series!

I wouldn't mind both trends being curtailed, before I get permanently sick and tired of them.

But hey, at least they're finally getting their mainstream due!

Re: The Walking Dead series!

Yeah, the zombies have been shuffling on the edge of mainstream acceptance until recently. I guess 28 Days Later helped bring people around by introducing the public to a different flavor of undead (even if it had actually been introduced twenty years prior, in a truly terrible movie), and certainly World War Z assisted.

Zombie geeks are so lame.

EDIT-I'd know, I used to be one.

There were neither zombies nor undead in 28 Days Later.

Re: The Walking Dead series!

Semantics, Chuck. It's still a zombie flick.
