!! Tropes Associated with Romero's work
* HumansAreBastards: Even though Romero seemed like a respectable person in real life, this is a recurring motif in his zombie films, almost to a point that one could make the argument that the ''zombies'' themselves are actually the good guys. It's argued that, from at least ''LandOfTheDead'' on, this trope actually ''hurt'' Romero's story-telling, as he keeps rehashing the same old message.
