They say it. They say the word in the movie.

>>211788081 (OP)
HOWEVER they are not zombies

>>211788100
But they literally call them zombies in the movie. They literally say they are. The debate is over now. The infected of the 28 days franchise are officially zombies now.

ZAHAMBIE ZAHAMBIE EEEEEEEEE EEEE

>>211788081 (OP)
I thought they were still people, but raging pretty hard.

Ope no un don roicsosm en ere

>>211788229
and men are women if they say they are :^)

I think I hate zombieshit more than capeshit at this point

>>211788291
Not how that works, retard.

>>211788081 (OP)

>>211788282
They technically are. But they basically behave like zombies in every single way. The only difference between them and traditional zombies is that they're not dead.

>>211788081 (OP)
How about you spoiler that shit you fucking asshole I dont get off work for another three hours and I had been looking foward to this all week. Seriously, fuck you. I bet you thought you'd be all hip and with it and talk about it with your 4chan bros. You ruined my fucking evening you neet piece of shit.

>>211788359
they don't eat people though, they just beat the shit out of them, thats not a zombie

>>211788229
One zoomer swede says it while sperging out

>>211788419
How do you know they haven't eaten people?

>>211788359
>>211788419
yeah, they are more like zombies in TLOU. They mostly want to infect you and spread the disease.

>>211788471
maybe the fact the infected were starving in the first movie, if they ate the people they killed they wouldn't starve dumbass

CAM ON INGERLUND SCORE SOME FAHKIN GOALS

>>211788520
Yeah because there were no more people to eat you fucking dumb shit, and the infected don't prey on each other.

>>211788359
A Romero zombie is not a traditional zombie. Yes, it is short form for a reanimated corpse or a person turning into a mindless decaying killing machine of some variety but a real zombie is like the woman from Curse of the White Zombie where someone is given a substance that slows down their vital signs until they seem dead but they're basically sleep walking and are highly suggestive in their state. It's weird that zombie took on as the name for the monsters because George A Romero wanted them to be known as "ghouls" or "flesh eaters."

Is there anything worse than a setting having it's own cute little term for zombies that is universally adopted by people who haven't even met? It's like none of these universes had zombie movies

>>211788229
>But they literally call them zombies in the movie.
All the more reason they're not zombies.
You never call your zombies "zombies" in a zombie movie, you zesty zero zazz zoomer zombie.

>>211788081 (OP)
>>211788100
i've only seen the first one, aren't these vampires? the more bestial/emaciated kind, stalking at night, biting others to turn them into vampires, etc? 'the infected'?

>>211788563
>no more people to eat
>except the people on the movie who are alive

>>211788081 (OP)
I guess it makes sense that they're zombies in this one, because they all died of starvation already at the end of 28 Days Later

>>211788567
George Romero's zombies are the traditional zombies of cinema nowadays. They're the zombies people think of when they hear the word zombie. There's a reason Night of the Living Dead is considered the first true zombie film ever made.

>>211788356
So, another TLJ?

>>211788395
He's not in the movie. The image spoils nothing

Watched it yesterday in the cinema. Actually felt it was not really engaging at one point. I nearly left but stayed until the end. The really bizarre thing was the ending. ** The Jimmys. It felt like it's going into a completely different tangent from everything that has been built up **

>>211788607
Three fucking people who have become expert survivors aren't the ones being eaten you dumb shit.

>gas station explosion scene
>actually building up to be a tense scene
>gay music plays
>”fill me up”- get it cuz gas station lolol
Fucking why.

>>211788419
really the only zombies that eat you are return of the living dead zombies, those are the dudes who like brains.
Romero zombies would bite, or rip you apart, but after that you mostly just got left to turn.

>>211788646
exactly, no one thinks voodoo zombie when talking about them anymore

>>211788395
The movie has been spoiled all over this board, dip-shit. Get the fuck off this site if you don't want to hear anything, retard.

>>211788700
the little girl is an 'expert survivor'? if you want to have a little girl as your partner in an apocalypse don't hide behind saying she's an expert lmao

Poor Swedish bro.

>>211788795
Well she survived at least 2 months in a fucking rage virus outbreak. Incels like you would die within less than 2 minutes into a rage virus outbreak.

>>211788395
>Popular movie releases
>I know, let's go to the board where recent movie releases are discussed
Retard. Here's a tip (You) for your troubles, though

>>211788646
The pop culture zombie is definitely carried mostly by romero, but Return of the Living dead has a lot of influence as well. I mean ask anyone what a zombie "says" and the answer will almost always be "BRAAAIIIINNNNNSSSSS!"
Also the genius of romero zombies is that its a simple premise: Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills! The people it kills get up and kill!
And destroy the brain to kill the zombie. The zombies are an obstacle, but the threat and drama comes from them forcing people together in the situations. Night is about a straight forward siege causing strangers to hunker down, dawn is about what happens when all your material needs are met, and day is about hopelessness. In each movie the zombies can be treated as standing for different metaphorical threats. The hostile other, ennui, and inevitability.
And then just pretend the rest of his zombie movies don't exist (even if I do like a lot of land of the dead).

>>211788848
the girl survived? she was taken care of by adults, but maybe you view her as an equal and partner to be with, again if you want to fuck the girl stop pretending it's about survival

>>211788795
>he doesn't know about good-luck-lolis
Pretty much essential for surviving in a zombie wasteland. If you don't have a good luck loli or a based black guy in your party then you're toast.
Don't have both at once though.

>>211789133
i concede to you, but not the other guy, you're right

>>211789066
>The pop culture zombie is definitely carried mostly by romero, but Return of the Living dead has a lot of influence as well. I mean ask anyone what a zombie "says" and the answer will almost always be "BRAAAIIIINNNNNSSSSS!"
I always considered the Return of the Living Dead zombies to be nothing more than a variation on Romero's zombies though. They're not really a different class altogether like Haitian zombies.

>>211788893

>>211789087
Lol imagine you in a rage virus outbreak. You'd get taken out in a second. lol. No chance, incel. An Alpha would probably make you his bitch too.

>>211789087
Yes, that's one of the techniques of survival.
Thanks for conceding, retard.

>>211789287
He conceded to me. You don't get that W.
Back on the bench scrub.

be honest, if the only way to survive was to be buttfucked twice a day by a group of survivors, would you take it?

>>211789396
what if I wanted to butt fuck them?

>>211789396
I'd simply explain the most equitable way to handle the situation is to make everyone have a turn in the barrel.

>>211788359
>They technically are. But they basically behave like women in every single way. The only difference between them and traditional women is that they have a penis.

>>211789396
why not become a zombie and live free? roam the lands naked fucking and killing as much as you want.

>>211789894
You would not be an alpha. You would be a fat worm eater.

>>211789396
I, for one, welcome my new cannibal warlord daddy

it made sense for that jarhead kid to call them zombies because he was so meta and americanized
no other character should call them zombies thoughbeit

>>211789985
Does this mean George Romero's movies got made in the 28 days universe?

>>211790302
Maybe

George A Romero retired early and became an alcoholic, his vision having been superceded by reality.

the zombie in op's pic is in the movie, it's the scene where spike's mum keeps thinking he's her dad and she reminisces of being in the fields as a child
i don't know why they didn't keep the scene of the jim zombie rising up like it was in the trailer, and i also question a lot of the editing decisions made in this film
>>211788651
pretty much except this time only faggots and niggers are trying to pretend the film is good

>>211788710
for me, it's more "why didn't the entire fucking room blow up and kill them all despite there being years worth of benzine gas built up?" people thinking that just because the gas floats the flames won't extend downward lol

>>211788081 (OP)
>>211788560
Kudos for them finding the ugliest fucking extras to play the Infected.

>We love saying "zombies," don't we, folks? Some people, they don't really like that, they look for any reason to criticize me... They go on NBC and say "Trump said 'zombies.' You can't call them 'zombies,' they're 'infected.'" Can you believe this, folks? They get offended if you say "zombies," you gotta use some politically correct term. But they're out there... groaning, rotting, and -- some say -- eating people. They're zombies.

>>211791068
Thank you! Wow. Look at this crowd. Incredible crowd. The biggest crowd. People are saying it’s the most alive crowd—very alive—unlike some people we’re going to talk about today.

Now folks, I have to tell you something. I got in trouble the other day. They said, “Sir, you can’t say zombies anymore.” Can you believe that? Zombies! They say it's not politically correct. They want me to say “the metabolically challenged,” or—get this—“post-life Americans.” Post-life!

They told me, “Mr. Trump, it’s very offensive to the undead community.” Undead community? Since when do zombies have communities? They don't build anything. They don’t pay taxes. They just shuffle around, arms out, looking for brains—which is exactly what the Democrats do, by the way!

And the CDC, have you seen what they’re doing? They want inclusion. They say we need diverse representation of zombies in film and TV. I said, folks, we already have it—it’s called CNN!

Now, I love zombies, okay? I really do. Some of them voted for me—twice! Maybe three times in Philadelphia! But we can’t let the radical left rewrite language just because it hurts the feelings of people with no pulse. You know it, I know it, everybody knows it.

They want to replace “zombie apocalypse” with “unexpected neurological diversity event.” Total disaster.

So I say it loud and proud: ZOMBIES. Say it with me: ZOMBIES!

And if Sleepy Joe bites somebody, I’m telling you—we’re going to need border walls around the cemeteries too, folks. Total lockdown. We’re going to make Transylvania pay for it!

Thank you! God bless you! And God bless the United States of America—alive and BRAINS-FREE!

They were calling them "zombies" in 28 Weeks already.

So autistic loser incel faggots aside, what was the mask about? I assume it had something to do with Spike's mother and grandfather since they both wore it.

>>211791611
i don't have a cap but going by memory (saw it last night) he's at least a solid 10 inches long by 5 wide

>>211791728
they don't wear that mask, it's just some random femcel whose face we never see
also it's on a training dummy which implies the island fought them off some years ago

I had absolutely no interest in this ever since it was announced, infact I just looked it up and it's from Danny Boyle AND Alex Garland ?? fuck. I'm gonna have to watch it after all

>>211789396
Nah, I'd rather be dead than a fag.

>>211792415
can't be filtered by an ending that doesn't belong
it's fine on its own and in a comedy but this is supposed to be a serious film, and having a slapstick ending like that just makes it feel ridiculous
even the cute 6 that sat next to me last night was getting so fed up with the film that she was twiddling her hair through most of it and left as soon as the credits began, i felt bad for her because like an idiot she was all dressed up and had to sit through this zombieslop without any male attention

>>211792614
>left as soon as the credits began
So... she left when the movie ended?

>>211788356
People think the ending is dumb they're right but the whole reason it exists is to smooth over any differences between the tone of this one and the more jokey/silly tone of Nia Decostas sequel

Someone explain the Jimmy Savile people.

>>211792832
Not much is explained in the movie but from what can be gathered from it they seem like some sort of quasi-religious cult that basically worship the cult leader, Jimmy, and imitate him. They apparently know advanced martial art skills.

>>211792772
>>211793098
you don't understand. she left immediately, she didn't even want to hang around and be like "omg what did you think anon?", and most of the theater did the same. plus it being a popular series with two more films on the way, it's absolutely normal to consider the possibility of a post credits scene, and shit based on the fucking pedo rangers bit they might as well go full capeshit in round 2.
>>211793011
so you became gay in prison, got it. florida was also key in letting me know this.

>>211788100
The real zombies were the ones we discussed the movie with on the way.

>>211788081 (OP)
“They” do not say it.
A Swede zoomer who has obviously seen zombie movies before says it. They are still infected to the people who interact with them.

>>211788710

Because a watched Boyle never pots.

>>211794601
But since he said zombie that must mean George Romero's movies exist in the 28 days universe. This means the word zombie would have been known about in 2002 England and would have been associated with the zombies we see in his movies. When the Swede says it the mom and kid aren't confused by what he says, they know what zombies are, and they can't deny there is a striking similarity between the infected in their world and the zombies of George Romero's films.

>>211795054
it could be that the original outbreak inspired zombie fiction

>>211795224
Unlikely. Most people call them the infected, not zombies.

>>211795296
people inside the quarantine zone called them infected because it's what they are. a swedish zoomer living outside the quarantine zone would call them other things, you fucking idiot.

>>211795387
How come the Americans in Weeks don't call them zombies then?

>>211795446
because it's too soon for zombie kino to have been made you fucking idiot, 28 weeks later literally takes place within the same calendar year as the first film, and given this was the early 00s films still took 3-5 years for a full production. plus most people would try to block a film being made so soon after a tragedy, after all it was 5 years before the 9/11 movie got made and 2 years before the first pearl harbor film was made. so the first zombie movie in the 28 canon wouldn't come around until probably 2007, if the first film is canonically set in 2002.

>>211788081 (OP)
Anybody else notice they removed the scene of him rising up like from the trailer?

>>211795924
That's fucking retarded. Movies in-universe would be accurate to the tragedy, they wouldn't make up shit jargon like "zombie" unless it already existed and that's what people were calling them.

>>211796098
or maybe and hear me out on this, they purposely wanted to make it different to avoid any comparisons with real living infected? also technically voodoo is still canon so it's possible romero didn't start making zombie kino until after the outbreak.
all zombie movies have the same concept that zombie movies don't exist in their universe, save very few exceptions. it's far more likely that zombie movies didn't exist prior to the outbreak than they did and a similar occurrence just happened to take place.

Garland has always said they were zombies. I don't know why people are so hung up on the subject.

>>211800761
>I like crap

>>211800775
Because they're literally not zombies. If you got angry over this comment, attacked me, and I bashed your head in, you'd be as much a zombie as they are.

I like the idea that part of the infecteds motivation is "fuck this if I'm getting infected I'm taking you with me" , like it's not just a rabies like thing there's still a human element to it. Unfortunately that's entirely in my own mind and the films never really explored the idea

>>211800949
How are they not zombies? Plenty of examples of non-undead zombies in media.

>>211802757
No, those are normal humans infected with a pathogen. You wouldn't watch the movie Outbreak (1995), see all the viral people, and scream like a girl "AHHH RUN FROM THE ZOMBIES!"

>>211791728
>mask
i'd assume it's sort of rage cult that worships the infected or some shit.
the island dwellers have a few masks and seem to wear them casually or put them on training dummies.
they might've gotten them when scavenging through the mainland i guess.
there is this something yet unseen that is being hinted at.
when kickass and son stumble across the one infected dude being hanged upside down, his body has strange markings and they assume he might've been left there as punishment.
so most likely by another group of survivors

>>211802331
they're just uncontrollably angry, they turn into rageoids within 20-60 second after getting scratched, bitten or ingesting blood and saliva of an infected, they spasm a bit and then they are ready to go and fuck shit up.
then again the first two movies hinted at there being some type of remaining personality in weeks the father was stalking his kids throughout the movie instead of just rampaging aimlessly

So did the rest of the world give up on creating a cure or something?

>>211804189

OP you silly

>>211804839
never understood why it's so hard for spergs to aknowledge there are different kinds of zombie flicks, and that the whole setting is a genre altogether.
yes there are conventinal "proper undead" zombies popularized by romero, that are animated by some type of magic after their human form has died, and yes there are also those that are technically still alive, merely turned into uncontrollable savages that hunt and terrorize the uninfected for one reason or the other.
the respective franchises usually tend to establish the rules and lore of their universes

>>211805454
Legends about the dead reanimating and bodies becoming possessed by evil spirits are older than history, the zombies in Romero's movies are just Dante with more cannibalism
