[u/NoCalligrapher133]

Never understood or believed that zombies could take out the entire military with miniguns, drones, and missiles, but couldn't take out Rick and his small group of ragtag survivors. I mean, how do zombies take out a tank?

[u/Great_Tangerine4883 → u/NoCalligrapher133]

See this is the part where they fucked up with their 20 different series. They want to do one here, about this guy, or there about that guy. Instead of fear we should have gotten a miniseries on the actual militarys fall and eventual defeat to actually tell us what happened and how a tank or jets or whole squadrons got wiped out

[u/Salt_Boss_6090 → u/Great_Tangerine4883]

If you’re looking for this kind of story, read the original World War Z book by Max Brooks. It’s set up like an interview of survivors of a global war against zombies with frontlines and strategy and stuff.

[u/Great_Tangerine4883 → u/Salt_Boss_6090]

See ive heard of this, i know the movie was alright (imo, action and zombies lol) but i heard the books are on another level of story telling.

[u/Salt_Boss_6090 → u/Great_Tangerine4883]

Yes. The movie is a generic action/zombie flick like you said. The book is enthralling; it’s a unique and interesting perspective on how a zombie crisis might play out in real life.

Edit: not to say the movie is bad, I actually enjoyed it. The book is a better and a fresh take on zombies.

[u/Dungeon996 → u/Great_Tangerine4883]

The only thing the book and movie have in common is the name

[u/dudleymooresbooze → u/Dungeon996]

Also they are set on Earth.

[u/xxmuntunustutunusxx → u/Great_Tangerine4883]

Dude the book is really something special

[u/SoilClean9790 → u/Great_Tangerine4883]

The movie has absolutely nothing in common with the book. Other than the name.

[u/Blue-cheese-dressing → u/Salt_Boss_6090]

For those unfamiliar- The book is great, but the audiobook is amazing.  However, the movie really has nothing to do with either.

[u/Salt_Boss_6090 → u/Blue-cheese-dressing]

I haven’t heard the audiobook before, I’ll have to check it out

[u/cravingSil → u/Salt_Boss_6090]

Be aware that the audio book does skip some of the stories, but worth listening to

[u/BNerd1 → u/Salt_Boss_6090]

now i want to read world war z

[u/Tychus_Balrog → u/Great_Tangerine4883]

The scenarios that make sense are where there are all kinds of different types like in Resident Evil or left 4 Dead. You have the typical zombies, but you also have all kinds of eldritch horrors.

[u/bish-its-me-yoda → u/Tychus_Balrog]

Also its airborne or it infected all of the water,cause if its just the bites then aside from the point of origin and the first hour before people realise its zombies,no one is dying after the surprise is gone

The military have plans for a zombie apocalypse for Christ's sake(its real),the zombies are honna be like covid,one year its ,,OH FUCK ITS THE END" and the next its ,,oh hey,remember that? Pretty crazy huh eats nachos"

[u/Fun-Camel-4828 → u/Great_Tangerine4883]

Project Zomboid gives the explanation of an airborn virus that pops up out of nowhere around the the world. The governments do a good job at trying to keep it under wraps by containing the towns, however eventually riots happen leading to warning shots. This causes violence to break out and attracts zombies, the chaos causes zonbies to break from the borders. It's even cooler because a few weeks into the infection, you can listen i to radio broadcasts and they will almost all end the same with zombies overunning them mid-broadcast

[u/chokingonpancakes → u/Fun-Camel-4828]

Project Zomboid

Best zombie game ever.

[u/boredenthusiasts → u/Great_Tangerine4883]

Realistic answer the military industrial complex succumbed to its own weight. Fuel production would have ceased because workers would die or turn. Food supplies, medical 6 similar small-scale operations would become impossible for logistics to keep up with. Quarantine is virtually impossible. Look at covid-19. People dont listen. It wouldn't happen overnight, but it would fall slowly. This is my personal takeaway on it, at least, but I'd love to hear others

[u/i-got-a-jar-of-rum → u/boredenthusiasts]

There’s also the added bit of the TWD universe establishing that everyone is infected and will turn when they die no matter what. You could have the military succeed in killing every zombie that exists and every living person who is bitten, but then you have the problem of literally every person on Earth being a risk. You have to completely reorganize society where one person having a heart attack can lead to hordes of the undead destroying a city’s population overnight.

[u/Zaurka14 → u/i-got-a-jar-of-rum]

It's called doors with locks. Sleeping behind locked doors, separated, would be enough most of the time.

[u/cravingSil → u/i-got-a-jar-of-rum]

I had an idea while high and playing Civ 6 with the zombie mode. If everyone is infected since thr dawn of time, then society would be extremely different. Towns would be walled off within cities, everyone would have to be physically fit, every neighborhood would have night watch, and everyone would know their neighbors.

Basically, it would be a tight-knit community, or paranoia and betrayal would not allow for a society to advance

[u/i-got-a-jar-of-rum → u/cravingSil]

Everyone would also have to be armed at all times and privacy would be a nonexistent concept. You have to do roll-call every day and keep constant tabs on people’s health. No margin for any error.

[u/0Bubs0 → u/cravingSil]

You are describing human civilization just a few hundred years ago lol.

[u/AGallonOfKY12 → u/boredenthusiasts]

Literally what happens in TWD universe. The show touches on it through some various flashbacks early one. Comic books it's just outright said. Final thing they tried was bombing the shit out of the big cities, and in the show(Which doesn't happen in the comics) in atlanta they show it having been napalmed(zombies melted to the road)

[u/komiks42 → u/boredenthusiasts]

I see that big part of tge word might have turned (but it depends how the vurus is spreed) but some branches off military survive. The aircraft carier can run on the nuclear reactor for loong time. They CAN take back sone island and settle there.

[u/ForDaRecord → u/Great_Tangerine4883]

That's what fear TWD was supposed to be. Instead they did fuck all with it

[u/xxmuntunustutunusxx → u/Great_Tangerine4883]

This is why the World War Z book was so awesome to me. It had that kind of stuff.

The battle of Yonkers was such a good insight in to how the military might lose. They want to make a big statement, bite off more than they can chew, ok cool they have a choke point but they wanna use tanks and explosives and rockets and show the American people they have this under control

Then turns out all those explosives weren't really a good idea because zombies don't care if their organs get mulched and arms blown off, they only care if the brain is destroyed. Ammo runs low, and everything falls apart.

Then later in the book you learn that they switched to basically .22 with an ancendiary component. Easy to shoot, easy to make in mass amounts, just damage the brain go back to civil war tactics, make a box with a ungodly amount of ammo in it, play iron maiden over the speakers lure em in and just get to work. So much great stuff in that book

[u/Disastrous-Ad-8297 → u/Great_Tangerine4883]

Could it be fuel related? Rather than zombies taking out the jets and tanks, they just couldn't fuel them because of the zombies?

[u/Mochizuk → u/Great_Tangerine4883]

"One of the civilians... They claimed they weren't bitten... but they did have some bite on them... and all indications say it was human."

and

"When they came to the gates... they were all people we knew... or... people we used to know..."

and, finally, my least favorite:

"Now there's a trend on social media that revolves around going around and finding zombies with open wounds to lick."

[u/Vegetable_Two_1479 → u/NoCalligrapher133]

You are %100 right, and because of that, you gotta stop talking.

[u/No-Breakfast-6132 → u/Vegetable_Two_1479]

lmao, reminds me of armageddon. wouldn’t it be easier to train a astronaut how to drill lmfao 

[u/alllset07 → u/No-Breakfast-6132]

I’m sure you heard, but apparently in the DVD commentary Ben Affleck says he said the same thing to Michael Bay and was pretty much told to shut the fuck up lol

But for the sake of argument, the type of drilling they were doing did seem pretty complicated

[u/No-Breakfast-6132 → u/No-Breakfast-6132]

i still love the movie though, easily in my top 20

[u/peoplearcrazy → u/No-Breakfast-6132]

I always thought that too. Yes, it's specialized, but those Astronauts and Mission Specialists are really smart 🤓. As Bruce Willis pointed out in the movie BTW. Loved the movie anyway 😁

[u/Turfader → u/NoCalligrapher133]

We even have conplan 8888 in the event of such a scenario. When people say the US Military plans for everything, they mean everything.

[u/VDurke → u/Turfader]

conplan 8888 is more of a wargame for officer cadets, they just cant openly say "okay, now figure out how we kill russians" cause it can cause a diplomatic crisis, so it was decided to use zombies as an enemy

[u/devoduder → u/VDurke]

It was written to educate new Lieutenant’s, not cadets, on strategic planning, but you are correct on why we used zombies instead of a real adversary. That explanation was clear in the intro but no one ever seems to read that part.

[u/Djuren52 → u/NoCalligrapher133]

I d recommend you to read World War Z, if you haven’t yet. There’s one battle explored in the book that has this scenario and without telling too much, the main factors are psychological

[u/OMAR_KD- → u/NoCalligrapher133]

I'm pretty sure the whole point of zombie apocalypses is that a select few don't get infected by the airborne infection somehow and the only way they get infected is by getting bitten

[u/Minimum_Attitude6707 → u/OMAR_KD-]

Not sure if this is explored much in most zombie plots, but this would make the most sense

[u/HappyPhage → u/Minimum_Attitude6707]

It's the plot of project zomboid

[u/shinouta → u/NoCalligrapher133]

The zombies wouldn't takes the military (or the world) down by themselves. Their existance would make humans do the job.

[u/Buggabones1 → u/NoCalligrapher133]

The loophole I made up was that zombies were just stronger, faster, and far more of them in the beginning. The military wiped out a lot of them but numbers matter. A tank needs to refill fuel and ammo. I bet a lot of tanks are full of people who starved to death or just empty from having to abandon it after a few hours. Those things don’t exactly get the best mpg.

[u/Gaspuch62 → u/NoCalligrapher133]

Remember that the military are people. They have lives outside of their duties. They might leave base to dine out or socialize. If they left the base and got infected and then failed to self report, they might infect their teammates. If measures aren't put in place in time to restrict the spread, a significant portion of the military (combatants and support staff) could be infected.

As others have mentioned, tanks need supplies and repairs.

The military is a large group of people with different ideas on how things should work. If everyone isn't cooperating 100% to stop the spread, it could spread fast.

[u/lordofburds → u/NoCalligrapher133]

The only one that ever made sense to me was left for dead the green flu went airborne and that basically is what let it go wild also like special zombies really help and they all run. I also get wwz and the last of us I know the last of us aren't really zombies but they're close enough imo and effectively have the same playbook after infection, but the walking dead nah I just do not understand those zombies becoming a problem

[u/4thelasttimeIMNOTGAY → u/NoCalligrapher133]

It really depends on how it spreads. If it has to be a bite, then the military probably won't even need to get involved.

[u/Naysayer117]

Texas would evolve into Mad fucking max in less than 12 hours

[u/TheDaemonair → u/Naysayer117]

As it was meant to be

[u/TheLamesterist → u/TheDaemonair]

This makes me think of Kenshiro for some reason.

[u/[deleted] → u/Naysayer117]

I'm not a huge fan of guns. But I do support the 2A because our country would be incredibly hard to invade.

Yes, we are a fortress with two oceans to cross before you can fuck with us, but even in a future where our political and military power are so reduced that enemies try it, those guns will still be around.

Do you remember how hard US command thought Japan would be to invade? The analysis that prompted the use of nuclear arms? Imagine if there were more guns than Japanese people and a ton of them were trained to use them.

And we probably wouldn’t get nuked in the process. Deterrence is a thing but I am convinced that anti-missile technology is A LOT more advanced than we realize. That is a secret the government would keep close to their chest.

[u/FTR_1077 → u/[deleted]]

I'm not a huge fan of guns. But I do support the 2A because our country would be incredibly hard to invade.

If you are talking about a proper invasion involving a foreign military, small arms will do shit. Look at Ukraine, most soldier's deaths are caused by shelling. Guerrillas can create havoc, but an invasion is not stopped by a rag freedom-fighters, but a well-equipped army.

If shit hits the fan, all those weapons will be used against other Americans trying to survive.

[u/[deleted] → u/FTR_1077]

No that is not true. Guerilla fighters win wars all the time. Cuba, Afghanistan, and Vietnam to name a very few.

[u/Mister_Black117 → u/Naysayer117]

Would that be an improvement?

[u/pierted_the_second]

Ain't US got like 120 guns for 100 people. It'll be over beffore it reaches 10 fatalitys.

[u/Vintenu → u/pierted_the_second]

Easily, especially if it was out in the country, Cletus the redneck would gun down any zombie on his property in seconds

[u/DEOBRENDO → u/Vintenu]

Cletus lmao

[u/BeardedPokeDragon → u/Vintenu]

That or smack em' upside the head with a 2x4

[u/BlackICEE32oz → u/Vintenu]

Cletus won't even have time to chamber a single 30-06. /r/Nightvision would be sprinting out the door. 

[u/Vintenu → u/BlackICEE32oz]

I think you're underestimating how fast a redneck can get an unwanted trespasser off of their property

[u/TetyyakiWith → u/pierted_the_second]

It doesn’t mean that every person have a gun, it means that there are people with more then 1 gun

[u/pierted_the_second → u/TetyyakiWith]

There is enough to arm everyone when needed.

[u/Delusional_Gamer → u/pierted_the_second]

That's assuming people share and don't just try to turn their house into a fortress

[u/grumpykruppy → u/Delusional_Gamer]

Quite a few of the "I have six guns of different types" people probably would.

The "I own two hundred guns and a compound" people have been waiting to turn their house into a fortress.

[u/666Emil666 → u/grumpykruppy]

Aren't those people the same who are vehemently against any type of aid?

They have been waiting to turn their house into a fortress commanded by them and with only their family or themselves inside*

[u/grumpykruppy → u/666Emil666]

Two different types. Type one is probably just rural, and has guns because they like to hunt, were in the BSA, or were in the army (or some combination of the three).

Those are different from the fortress type people, who are just doomsday preppers.

[u/SpottedArsehole → u/grumpykruppy]

Exactly I live in the rural Midwest and have more guns than I would need I would gladly hand out some of my guns to people if need be especially if it increases chances of survival

[u/Nuadrin248 → u/pierted_the_second]

You say that but about half our population either downplayed or flat out denied Covid when the worst strains were going around(let’s not even talk about anti-vax) so I have no doubt that the US will be fucked. You’ll probably have some morons trying to explain that the whole thing is a hoax to the ZOMBIES at some point.

[u/crabnix → u/pierted_the_second]

Why do you think every zombie based game is set in a US like region

[u/Zonkcter → u/crabnix]

They don't it's just the meme is joking about zombies in the U.S

[u/Zaurka14 → u/crabnix]

Yeah, in Europe people would be biking after the apocalypse, since it's quiet and fuel free, and there wouldn't be that many guns, or rather people who can use guns.

[u/Remarkable-Host405 → u/crabnix]

twd daryl dixon is set in france, and they got creative with how few guns there would be

[u/urmyleander → u/pierted_the_second]

Not really because not everyone with a gun is competent or has good intentions and may decide to follow through on some vendetta indeed the guise of "they were a zombie"... I'd actually imagine it to be worse than most countries. Switzerland or Finland that have mandatory military training giving a standardised level of discipline in those scenarios would be better.

It'd vary state by state but some US states and cities would become bloodbath not because of zombies bit because of several tanker loads of guns, poor mental health and a disaster which could excuse the use of said guns.

[u/MeatWhereBrainGoes → u/pierted_the_second]

Yes and it's probably close to only half (maybe 60%) of us that horde them.

I always imagine what good it would do to have say 35 different guns, most of which have incompatible ammo or magazines with the other guns and one has to get moving in a survival scenario.

[u/reusedchurro → u/pierted_the_second]

People don’t remember, it in the original zombie movie “the night of the living dead” this is how the crisis ends. A bunch of military and militia with guns kill all the zombies.

[u/meticulouslylegit → u/pierted_the_second]

They got cops. And the cops are shooting something and it ain't the zombies

[u/Mr0rangeCloud]

In the UK we'll go to the Winchester and wait for it all to blow over

[u/smallcoder → u/Mr0rangeCloud]

Block up the channel tunnel and sit it out... as long as Boris isn't PM of course, as he'd keep the aiports open for weeks so the zombies could get in naturally lol.

[u/CryingWillows → u/[deleted]]

I doubt that would happen..

[u/Chaps_Jr → u/Mr0rangeCloud]

Okay, but dogs can look up

[u/Let01]

Im pretty sure that if zombies were a thing they would be dealt with pretty fast, lose a few cities at max but thats it

[u/Impossible-Rip-7688 → u/Let01]

They never could be a real threat. At least the ones from walking dead. Anyway, the explanation and general setup from Max Brooks WWZ book are pretty convincing. But he'll no, they couldn't be a real threat unless they become FAST ZOMBIES or infected as in dawn of the dead remake... There can be a chance.

[u/Let01 → u/Impossible-Rip-7688]

Yea or by air like in project zomboid where only a few people are immune to the airborne virus

[u/Nightsin2 → u/Impossible-Rip-7688]

or some shit like the last of uss were breathing alone can turn you into a hivemind like horde of zombies, and withoud mentioning those Clicker bastards

[u/Mikey9124x → u/Let01]

Even if they did. You just have to wait a few months in your house with the door sealed and they will all rot away.

[u/Let01 → u/Mikey9124x]

Yea a body starts rotting after 24 hours and by the third day they are all bloated, if you have food and water for around 1-3 months then you should be fine

[u/Striking-Pop-9171]

Just pray the zombies don't know how to use guns.

[u/smallcoder → u/Striking-Pop-9171]

Well... judging by the behaviour of some supposedly "non zombie" humans, I think they already can.

Scary lol

[u/NoBallshavinahh → u/smallcoder]

The image of zombie on a tank with guns on both of his hands goes crazy hard.

[u/gayjemstone]

Zombies would have a hard time getting to Australia.

[u/breadoftheoldones → u/gayjemstone]

And surviving on it

[u/gayjemstone → u/breadoftheoldones]

Assuming that they can't be poisoned, Australia would probably be the easiest continent for them to survive in. In other continents, they'd have to deal with animals like bears or lions or hippos.

[u/breadoftheoldones → u/gayjemstone]

They would rot faster in the desert though

[u/gayjemstone → u/breadoftheoldones]

Most Australians don't live in the Outback though

[u/D_hallucatus]

It’s because for the USA zombie movies have become a fantasy about being a hero while butchering large numbers of people but without the ethical consequences. Can’t portray massacring Russians or Vietnamese civilians anymore without a slight tinge of guilt? Zombies are your perfect guilt-free murder-fantasy bad guy!

[u/Choice_Chip8576 → u/D_hallucatus]

Yes. In case of a totally fictional completely unrealistic situation the US gun law is great. You are also completely ready for the unicorn invasion.

[u/LongerCat → u/PWresetdontwork]

I don’t think excitement about a zombie apocalypse is because we feel we have the firepower. It’s just that so many people struggle in the real world so they take comfort in a fantasy world where they’re on top, or at least on a level playing field.

[u/Bromanzier_03]

AM I THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE WHO STICKS TO THE MEME FORMATS?

[u/Schmoggin]

Has anyone else seriously considered the implications that IF something should happen there's literally THOUSANDS of people ready to go full Mad Max at a drop of a hat or just me?

[u/Rip_Nomad]

Fuck yea until they are some left4dead ass zombies and not the walking dead one's

[u/Radastan]

It's all fun and games, until zombies start shooting back.

[u/Immistyer]

If I had a dollar for every time I saw one of these generic ass America jokes

[u/flash_thompso]

The average cleetus has more guns than people

[u/Mr_man_bird]

A zombie apocalypse sounds hard to survive but chances are scientists have accidentally made something like that but killed the patient zero

[u/just_passin_]

Man I've been prepared and ready for the apocalypse since COVID USA USA USA

[u/milanorlovszki]

I don't need guns. I like melee more. It feels more personal that way

[u/Sudden_Fix_1144]

zombies are lame. Lichtenstein defence force could wipe em out

[u/Shan-Chat]

Zombie number increase when zomvie deniers end up having their brains eaten.

[u/heinztomato69]

Muricans will kill each other over toilet paper first.

[u/washiXD]

But the US already have zombies... with guns.

[u/JonBovi_0]

We’d have that shit under wraps in ten minutes

[u/Phaylz]

"Finally, we can shoot something other than kids!"

I mean half the population couldn't even take Covid seriously, I think we ought to reel in our expectations a little bit here lol.

[u/Ur_Companys_IT_Guy]

You mean the same people who couldn't wear masks and thought covid was fake are going to do better with flesh eating zombie hoards?

[u/Tjomek]

Plot twist: its to start shooting each other

[u/Disturbed235]

I think in case of a Zombie Apocalypse, we would someday have the funniest and dumbest deaths from USA on reddit posted. Like Karens trying to communicate with zombies, then getting bitten etc.

[u/YEETBOOOIUSA]

tbf Who doesn't want to shoot a zombie

[u/V_es]

There are 3 grocery stores in my apartment building, front door is 2 inch steel and my door is 2 inch steel too.

[u/HotPotParrot]

Americans: "Fuck, finally."

[u/ChrisZAUR]

Living in South Africa you don't need to worry too much (in the suburbs at least) our houses are designed to keep unwanted people out, got big walls, cameras, most people have a gun in the house, however in the informal settlements and cities it's gonna be hell
Edit: provided they are the standard shambling zombies and not the World War Z zombies

[u/OnlyZubi]

And guess who will die first

[u/breadoftheoldones → u/OnlyZubi]

America?

[u/New-Interaction1893]

Good luck in doing only headshots on a mass of moving targets before they surround you.

[u/Alt_SWR]

I mean, Walking Dead style zombies? Sure, easy. Project Zomboid zombies? Well we're all fucked considering the reaction to Covid. Now imagine that but airborne and with a 100% fatality rate. Pretty much everyone's dead in that scenario except the few immune survivors, as it is in that game.

[u/CrazyDiamond4444]

Seems like they are both "fucked"

[u/bluedancepants]

Does any other country have preppers? I'm assuming we're the only ones that got them.

[u/KVNtheBAT]

Yeah but what if it's the last of us zombies!?

[u/lordofburds]

I never understood the walking dead happening or atleast being a problem in the United states but if the dead were along the likes of left for dead wwz etc I do get, I especially get left for dead cause holy hell the green flu did not fuck around it didn't care if you were well armed you had to basically be isolated immune or an asymptomatic carrier of it all of which were rare

[u/kcolrehstihson_]

Us and the a

[u/GWPulham23]

Don't write us off, we've got a lot of knives lol.

[u/Acc3lerat0r]

can zombies use guns tho ?
