>>212177648>movie is about a kid and his retarded mom traveling an expanse of land him and his capable father barely survived one day earlierI think you solved your own confusion about the bizarre ending.
>suddenly this kid who has done nothing but bumble around and be saved by others and only had like 2 run ins with zombies thinks hes a super hardened badass who can travel the road by himself>gets swarmed by zombies>gets saved by tracksuit hooligans who beat the zombies up while doing backflipsSo... Useless child of insane mother is left to fend on his own when a horde of crazed zombies appear. Let's review that line again... USELESS CHILD OF INSANE MOTHER...
What do insane people do when panicking?
AMAZINGLY RATIONAL HIGH IQ DECISIONS?!?
Sure...
So the Jimmy Saville Power Derangers pop up to rescue him? Golly gee, Grandpa Rick, hearing you say sounds like the kid went off the deep end into kookoo nutso land and had literally zero chance of surviving. So he didn't survive. He just imagined a rescue that was impossible to schedule or achieve.
Now the secret other ending choice is... RAGE VIRUS CARRIERS are immune to going full cannibal jewish, but they steadily go more and more nutzoid over time until they become the ALPHA INFECTED. If you're mildly infected by a droplet of blood and a mostly immune carrier, the process is very slow. If you're bitten, getting huge dose, you go nutzoid fast, but become less insane as your body bacteria begins to clear out the virus.
Think of it like a sippy cup that has a big chunk of ice in it and the lid won't come off. Whatever is in the cup ain't coming out completely.
All rage virus carriers are basically uninfected or mildly infected or heavily infected. Once infected, their biology and bacterial immunity determines their infection homeostasis.
But like any infection or cancer...
Using Chitinase and Cellulase and DMSO would cure it. Then restocking good gut bacteria.
