The one in a million thing is when you simply use the T-Virus, when you use the secreted chemical from puebesent boys Tyrants are much easier to make.

The Resident Evil remake. The killed zombies in the mansion, unless disposed of by burning gasoline on them, will come back at a random time when near them as crimson zombies of much annoyance. Can't dodge them so death is the only thing they need.

I get the impression that Zor seems to think that zombies and the Living Dead are some kind of invasion force or type of troop, so of couse they're going to be seen as pathetic when compared to such: because that's not what they're fucking for.

Jesus...

By his logic, a virus or other disease isn't effective because they're "dumb" too. Guess someone better explain to Rabies that it's too successful for it's own good.

That's just it, zombies individually aren't smart or fast or whatever. Small children could deal with them one-on-one.

However, given the fact that large groups of them will be incessantly scratching at your door makes them pretty creepy. All it takes is you to let your guard down for a second, get bitten, and now you become one of them. Pretty horrible thought. I'd much rather just be shot by the terminator.

A Zombie is a creature that has a deadly top speed of 5 km/h, Completly Disernable Visualy from a Normal Human, Makes moning noises that give away there position, is butt ugly, more likely than not smells, is to stupid to use any weapons (let alone Ranged ones) and can be Killed by shooting, breaking necks, Running over with a Car, dropping heavy objects on them, whatever and generaly don't even have any real clear advantage in hand to hand combat.

Klingons and Signers could take them on, AND WIN!

So why do people like these Pathetic excuses for villians?

That Pretty much explains why I haven't seen any Zombie movies. I do like that they threw them in to the Buffyverse to spoof them, b/c they are kinda ludicrous villains. How is a rotting corpse going to have superhuman strength??

*Sings*

Been bitten by a Zombie straight through to the Bo-o-one
I wanna be Cremated
Don't want to rise and shamble and moan,
I wanna be Cremated
Just shoot me through the forehead, take away my pain
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go insane
Or else I'll eat your fingers, and then I'll eat your brain oh no, oh no, oh no!

*stops singing*

The true joy of a zombie infestation is that regardless of how aware you personally are, the epidemic is still going to spread. Enoguh doctors and hospitals are going to go 'oh gosh, we must help these poor diseased people!', and then get bitten to start a decent sized infestation. Whether or not it can be contained is going to depend on the intelligence of the authorities response, and the type of Zombie. With the new sprinters, containment is probably only going to work with rapid action, and a single Case Zero. Although if you consider the Shep Option to be containment, then it should be possible to salvage at least some of the world's population.

When you don't have to worry about this thing called pain, then you can do amazing feats of strength and endurance. Even the best athelete cannot compete with an average Joe dosed up on PCP. Pain is only there to safeguard against damage, a rotting corpse looking for flesh needn't worry.

Well, then there's the fact that not all zombies have super strength...

Another event tied in with a zombie rise is looting and riots once word gets out. No one wants to believe that the dead are rising and that their government is currently tied up trying to deal with it.

General panic and hysteria will always help antagonists. The police and armed forces may have level heads for the most part, but people are stupid in groups and if NYC were to have a Raccoon City or Dawn of the Dead like incident, human stupidity would ruin the city, not super zombies.

Seconds Stormie, seconds. IIRC it was only 10 or so.
I'd imagine that it depends greatly on the amout of the virus one is infected with. The girl's father took a fair amount of time to start showing it and he had clearly not degenerated that much by the time the soldier euthanised him with extreme prejudice.

It took ca 30 second before he was ready to kill his own daughter in a fit of rage.
And he got infected by one drop. Thats a fairly small amount.

How many of you people have actually seen some classic zombie movies like "Night of the Living Dead" and "Return of the Living Dead?" When I was younger and watched "Return" for the first time, it about scared the shit out of me. Yeah, if you're some kind of soldier with lots of guns, you can take some zombies out. If you're just an average dude who wakes up one night to zombies moaning outside your window and trying to get through your door, you're going to be scared shitless. That's how zombies work. That's the beauty of them. Stop trying to think you could somehow bust out your super cool kung fu moves while pulling out your shoulder mounted rocket launcher. This is horror, not sci fi. Zombies are great.

Dawn of the Dead is as classic as I go, unfortunately.

I got a lot of classic movies I need to watch...

Another thing that gives the T-Vius an edge is how far it can spread. There aren't many life forms it can't infect(even some plants). Which can go and spread it easier(Crows). Hell the nuking of Racoon City shouldn't have been the end of it, even assuming the army quarentine of the city, which a rookie cop and a biker college student were able to get through on a main road, kept any monsters from getting out of the city, the forest is still infested and spreading in othere directions from the ruins of Spencer Mansion, the Training Facility and where the train was first stopped.

I can't wait to see it!

And I sort of back up what Superman said- the initial impression would be total terror. However, that would fade fast, and you would probably see small, non-legal groups of armed neighbors.

Don't forget the factor if one of your loved ones turns into a zombie. You dont kill your wife/child/... with ease
