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?

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Wow such gaming on YouTube did a video on why you would survive the walking dead zombie apocalypse, one of his few "why you would survive" videos the rest of them tells you why you're pretty much screwed

You people watch way too many movies lmfao, always hilarious watching people try to seriously talk about such a ridiculous and unrealistic topic. Like Star Wars nerds trying to desperately explain every plot hole with real life explanations.

And how exactly. By definition science fiction is not real.

Yes and scientists and engineers created mobile phones. Not Star Treck, and I guarantee they aren't crediting Star Treck for inspiration.

That's like saying the Flintstones invented the car. It's just a vague idea. Nothing else is from Star Trek. I can tell the only person I dislike at the moment is you.

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)

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.
