Realistically speaking, what would you do in this situation?

>>212672051 (OP)
I wouldn't *do* anything. I would listen. And that's what no one else did.

>>212672051 (OP)
i pocket carry, so probably get killed while trying to draw on him...better than going out like a wimp

>>212672083
But the victims listened. Have you watched the movie?

>>212672051 (OP)
ask why he has a target on his clothes

>>212672051 (OP) It depends.

Pull my appendix carry Mako and put a bullet right into the woman next to me's leg and run away.

>>212672051 (OP)
i’d whip it out and make him suck

after I died, I would remember to un-die

>>212672051 (OP)
These threads are retarded because the guy survived

>>212672051 (OP)
Shoot him 16 times with my m9 beretta

Approach in a quick zigzag pattern so fast that he can't aim the gun in time. Drop into the grass and do an army crawl, so low that he can't see me. Then when I'm close enough I get on my knees and just start working the shaft

>>212672570
that’s what i’d do too - survive

>>212672608
That sounds a bit queer

Unfriendly reminder that Zodiac wasn't only one person

well, time for plan B

>>212672051 (OP)
kage bunshin no jutsu

>>212672828
>That was plan b

>>212672051 (OP)
I would simply force myself to have diarrhea on purpose

say "OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT" while pointing over his shoulder, then when he turns around I run away

falcon punch right in the guts

>>212672860
RUN

>Yo Zodiac, let's kill this honky bitch!

>>212673023
>YOU AND ME JIVE TURKEY !!!

>>212672608
>Approach in a quick zigzag pattern so fast that he can't aim the gun in time.

Ok this actually makes sense

>Drop into the grass and do an army crawl, so low that he can't see me.

??...doubt this would be an effective strategy

>Then when I'm close enough I get on my knees and just start working the shaft

GAAAAAYYYY

>>212672051 (OP)
I'd run in a zig zag pattern towards him, tackle him to the ground and disarm him.

>>212672051 (OP)
Die fighting

>>212672051 (OP)
This is one of the more harrowing non-gore scenes I've ever witnessed.
That said, I'd just start running -- as long as you're faster than the woman, which you almost certainly would be, you're fine. She'd probably die, but there are other women.

>>212673315
You need to be faster than the bullet, not the woman thoughever

Tell him the simple truth: I am immune to bullets, so he should just turn around and go home before he embarrasses himself in front of a lady

>>212672051 (OP)
Hey there buddy. Im not with this woman so Ill just leave you two alone.

>>212672608
nicely meme'd

>>212673210
it will always be funny that a serious, good actor like Bale did this shit. lol

>>212673388
It's not actually that easy to shoot someone from long range, and there was nothing to suggest the Zodiac was a sharpshooter.

>>212673315
>This is one of the more harrowing non-gore scenes I've ever witnessed.
No joke, I would literally shit myself If I were in this situation

Inform him I do not consent to any action he takes and I have no desire to make contract with him. Legally he cannot do anything to me.

>>212673388
Shooting someone IRL with a pistol is not that easy. The Zodiac would be surprised if you just started sprinting, and he'd have to be pretty well trained and/or lucky to hit you from 30-40-50 etc. feet. I'm not a gunfag, but seems like he'd need some training and a decent weapon for that.

>>212673609
30 feet is pretty manageable for anyone who practices. But the difficulty goes up quite a bit from there, especially on a moving target. I wouldn't say your odds of running are great, but they're better than just standing there like a cuck hoping he doesn't kill you.

>>212673609

First round is probably going to be the one to hit you if you get hit. In this case you just need enough adrenaline to tank the first shot, rush him and bite his corroded artery out. People simply aren't prepared for explosive, feral violence.

Handguns are notoriously shit at killing people right away as well.

>>212673499
>>212673210
The movie fails because his character was way too overpowered and never got scratched or challenged even at the final boss.

>>212672051 (OP)
Is it .22? If so, grab the hoe and use her as a human shield while I close the distance and then I karate chop him to death

Run and jump in the water and start swimming down and then further out. The woman can fend for herself. I'd also fist fight any monsters that are in the water.

>>212673729
he unlocked his emotional powers, souless androids had no chance

>>212672051 (OP)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mko5Y8QUEjI

>>212672051 (OP)
I would tie them up and stab them

He's wearing a fucking bag on his head. Unless he's trained, you'd have a good chance at rushing or running, then rushing and the dude would likely miss.

Strip naked and start shitting and pissing everywhere. Unless Das Zodiac is a fetishist, he'd be disgusted and leave. Then I'd make love to the female, or violently attack her in my naked frenzy.

Pocket sand. Sh-sha!

>>212673315
It's harrowing because it's your manly honor on the line as much as your life. Like the guy could probably easily run away and survive just fine but then he would have to deal with the dishonor of leaving his girl in the lurch.

>>212673830

>>212673864
Honor is the armor of a coward.

>>212672051 (OP)
>holy smokes what is that!?
>huh?
>poof
>i dont see an- wait, come back here!
>groovy hallway door chase sequence

>>212673609
He already has the gun out and aimed at you, its real easy from that point dumbass

>>212672051 (OP)
I'd ignore him. If he just wanted to kill me he would just shoot me outright. I can't close the distance without getting shot so I have to confuse him by defying his expectations. I'd act like he wasn't there and let him close in and once he got within reach I'd suplex his boomer ass.

What makes Zodiac so unusual, statistically speaking, is that he's a "safe edgy" serial killer.
>kills both women and men
>no rape

It's something you'd see in a CW show or a PJ-13.

>>212672051 (OP)
Both you and the woman sprint in opposite directions
One of you is getting away no matter what, if he manages to take one of you out the other is long gone
Also he's wearing a mask and firing from the hip so he's not hitting a moving target

>>212673933
His vision is obscured and he's firing a pistol from the hip dumb dumb
Also his targets are moving

>>212674047
>he's firing from the hip
And it takes me a fraction of a second to raise the gun and fire properly. Dumb ass.

>>212674079
not with that dumb getup on hes not gonna be able to shoot for shit. it would be easy to escape

>>212674079
Okay now do it with a mask on and your target is already 10 metres away and moving fast

>>212674154
>10 metres
I don't know what that is in real measurements but I could still do it easily.

>>212672051 (OP)
I'd kick one shoe off, hitting him in the head and stunning him.
Then I'd use the low grass as cover to crawl behind him.
Finally I'd strike and snap his neck.
Boom. It's that easy.

>>212673952
yeah, I've always felt the same. I watch zodiac with every girl I get with for that reason. It's scary serial killer flick, but he just bizarrely leaves without jacking off or anything weird. Bundy used to revisit graves like months into decay

>>212674168
You miss once and the next shot will be 5 times harder to hit

>>212672570
He wasn't left alive on purpose.
>>212672051 (OP)
I'm too lazy to rewatch the scene, but the moment he stepped from behind the tree with a bag over his head they should have have started to quickly back away (while keeping an eye on him). If he started increasing the pace, they should have run. I understand that it is hard to transition from a domesticated "aah the weather is nice, nothing can hurt us" frame of mind to "we're entering a potentially extremely violent situation", but there is basically no benign scenario involving a black-clad man concealing his face.

Quickly juke and dive to the side while pulling my CC and dumping six rounds in his center mass and then walking up and putting two in his head just to make sure he's dead. Welcome to Texas faggot.

>>212672051 (OP)
Realistically best idea is to run,. Even if you're a gigachad, he's clearly a criminal who probably has a knife or a gun and can fuck you up. Second best is to go for his eyes or nuts and hope you hurt him enough that you get him on the ground and can either sit on him or fuck him up enough that he won't get up and follow you.

>>212672051 (OP)
get off the x, take large steps to the right while drawing and skin that smoke wagon.

>>212674209
I think there is also the redditor factor. The riddles. The stupid cipher. The "primordial evil" narrative, almost like the force of nature. The creepy illiteracy. The fact that he wasn't caught (which allows for conspiracy theorizing). He's an ideal Hollywood serial killer.
Even in Se7en, despite the grisly murders, they went the "I want to prove a point" route, which "makes sense" for the average viewer, which makes it less scary.
You fear what you don't understand. The normie mind can't bear the idea that a serial killer is not someone playing mind games with cops or trying to disprove a moral framework, but your unassuming friendly neighbor senior citizen architect, who spends decades ramming nails into tied conscious prostitutes' pelvis and cutting their nipples off with pliers in between jazz band jamming sessions and family vacations, and never gets caught. Just because.

zodiac is a cover the cia used to kill people who they didnt like. they also killed lots of randos to make it harder to identify who their actual targets were. simple as

why are you engaging with the /k/tard that probably shoots his hi-point once a year at his step dad's place?

>Tap the sign on the tree that says "Zodiac Season"
>He panics and starts running away from me
>By the time he realizes what happened he's lost me and starts looking for me

kill the woman

Serial killers had it easy when America was still a high trust society. Today there's about a 90% chance that both of them would be packing and they'd just light him up the minute he stepped out.

>>212677255
The movie takes place in San Francisco, so not only would they definitely die due to being unarmed, I wouldn't feel bad about it.

He got off to getting away with it

I'd crush their heads with a rock instead of just assuming they'd die from knife wounds. I'd also gag them, but getting close to being caught seems part of the thrill.

I'd rape him. that would put an end to his shenanigans.

Get as close as possible to me and attempt to disarm him and use all of my autistic rage to give me an adrenaline rush so I shrug off any non fatal bullet wounds I might get while I charge him.

Then after connecting with him throw away the gun because I want to take my time with this guy. I'd rip apart his hands, chew off his fingers, break his arms, rip off his ears, bite his cock off, rip his balls off. Get my lovely gal to hold his leg still so I can stomp his shins into powder, rip off his toes, chew off his lips, gouge out his eyes, blood eagle his back, chew off his nipples, rip at his scalp hair, bite at his throat. All of this would be in self defense though
