1 | [[WMG: There are various types of Zombies]] |
2 | This is why the stories differ so much on creation, reproduction, and extermination. A necromantic-raised zombie is different from a virus-raised one is different from a construct-raised one from a pharmacological-raised zombie. Woe to the person who confuses a magic-modded undead super soldier for a stumbling victim of drug-induced stupor. |
3 | * "Zombie" has probably devolved into a generic term for infectious non-vampiric corporeal undead. Thanks a lot Romero. |
4 | ** Don't blame Romero. He always preferred the term ''ghouls'' |
5 | [[WMG: If the world is taken over by slow zombies, everyone will be fine. But if fast zombies take over, humanity is screwed.]] |
6 | Slow zombies - only a few people taken by surprise and idiots will get killed, because they move so slow. Fast zombies however - those are a bit harder to escape. |
7 | * Of course, Fast zombies are suicidally overconfident, meaning that a whole bunch of Speedy Zedheads will just kill eachother or jump off a bridge or climb an electric fence/ rickety ladder or something. The slow ones are really persistent, since their muscles decay less from use, meaning they'll keep moving for a long, long time. Besides, slowness prompts suicidal overconfidence in zombie hunters, believing them to not be able to get their trademarked Death Grip on a Survivor. |
8 | * If the world is taken over by slow zombies it will be screwed because it was taken over by slow zombies. |

10 | [[WMG: Even if every viable corpse was to suddenly reanimate, and they were fast, zombies won't be the end of the world.]] |
11 | When you see a zombie movie, the individual zombies are no threat; the problem comes from the outnumbering humans. It's a dozen humans against billions of zombies with society in ruins. So if it is billions of zombies against billions of humans with working infrastructure (including well-trained armies), then things start looking less hopeless. [[http://xkcd.com/734/ And if they are scientific zombies that start with only one...]] |
12 | * Plus, as the Series/MythBusters showed (and as mentioned in ''Literature/TheZombieSurvivalGuide''), breaking out of a coffin and escaping to the surface once buried is very difficult, especially for a body that may already have started to rot. |
13 | ** If we're really lucky, reanimation will start in a country such as the [=US=], where coffins go into a buried cement vault in the cemetery. Zombies won't feel pain from trying to dig through cement with their fingernails, but eventually they'll wear their hands down to the shoulders. |
