I wanna see a modern Zombie movie with how people would actually react to news of a zombie outbreak given how people behaved during the pandemic
Half the population claims it's all a hoax and lets zombies bite them because anything else is a violation of their freedoms
Large swaths of gun owners take to the streets, and half of them die quickly because they put more money into the number of guns they had or making them tacticool instead of putting rounds through them or sighting them in.
It gets overly politicized.
The literal collapse of civilization, yet some corners of the government and billionaires are still trying to milk out the last drop of money
I actually think it would be good uniting force for a divided country:
Either way, everyone kind of wins
I think you're a little off on the "we need to fix this world" guys.
Although zombie films / TV series lean heavily into the action side of things, that's just because it's more entertaining than watching people building things, developing tech, doing scientific research.
Remember with COVID 19? Huge numbers of people immediately set out to find a cure, inventing and deploying ways to prevent and monitor the spread, creating pop-in treatment centres, etc.
true, they would be coordinating the attacks
