Zombie apocalpyse

zombie apocalpyse

they go to the mall

Why is the mall the number one go to?

Because it would be fun

it's just where Americans used to go instinctively in times of crisis.

zoomers don't rememebr this but malls were magical places full of food, clothes and all the stuff you would ever need.
and also they are built like fortresses so locking them down is rather easy. a group of 10 people can survive there for years

The food court.

Malls are easy to film in.

This except for all the plate glass windows

Sbaros is yummy

ZOMBIE BABY BRO

Is this the last good zombie movie?

You could easily cover the windows though and then try to ride it out, which realistically wouldn't take long at all.

It depends on the particular type of magic the zombies are imbued with, doesn’t it? Needless to say I’d be looking for somewhere with less transparent, breakable walls

Even rage zombies would be easy to cleanup with drone strikes, military deployment, tanks, and the sheer amount of guns in the US. The worst zombies to face are those from ROTLD.

stay put

laws of thermodynamics say the zombie will eventually rot to nothing

It'll be over in two weeks max.

Malls have all kinds of different stores that could be useful in a zombie apocalypse. Food and drink, clothes, sporting goods for some improvised weapons, even entertainment with book stores, toy stores, etc.

Because romero's dawn of the dead.

Yag

It would actually be a good place to go because malls are basically empty of people and full of supplies nowadays

Hollywood propaganda to prop up dying brick and mortar retail

Why is the mall the number one go to?

for the hot fresh pussy you incel

I forgot zombieland 2 came out and I watched the whole thing.

Malls have a variety of goods that you would need for survival and they have built in gates to close off any number of sections or the entire compound should you clear it.

It's not the perfect location, but there are definitely worse choices.

Why is the mall the number one go to?

apocalypse movies are rarely about the actual apocalypse, but just about forcing colorful characters into a group so drama can ensue. A mall is just a colorful environment, where those characters can do stuff. It's a lazy way of making a movie interesting.

Why is the mall the number one go to?

Lots of food in one place, maybe weapons, tools, clothing, plenty of space.
If it can be secured not a bad place at all.

It's about the symbolism that consumerism makes us all zombies. Romero was a pseudo-intellectual brainlet.

The plate glass windows are on the interior though. My local mall had no exterior windows except on the little fast food chains/dry cleaners set up around the rim of the parking lot.

I have no idea. I'd just stay home and kill them until I ran out of ammo and food/water then I'd leave, but not to a fuckin mall. I'd go to the mountains

My local mall is an outdoor mall, which like your mall is entirely irrelevant to this discussion of the zombie apocalypse viability of the typical American indoor mall.

The best zombie movies came out in 2007 and 2016, so obviously not

It was a le metaphor... people buying stuff are the real le zombies...

REC and Train to Busan. Hell, even 28 Weeks Later is better than the Dawn of the Dead remake

foreign shit

No thanks

Society was over the tipping point, but hadn't completely collapsed yet. He was itching for that to be over with so he could get to shooting whoever he wanted.

Without electricity, all the food in the mall food court would have quickly gone bad.

The movie is literally set the first day of the apocalypse. They specifically prioritize eating all the perishables first so they can stock up on preserved food

as says the windows would be a problem, but I present the Palisades mall. In addition to several dozen restaurants, meaning I would have access to food, there are at least 2 arcades, a movie theater, a best buy, a home depot, a bjs and target for more food, a bookstore if there was like no power, a dicks which sells sports stuff and guns and ammo, a minigolf course, an ice skating rink, I think a bowling alley, multiple stores with clothing, a spa, a comic store, a lego store, a dentists office, a gnc, for some reason aim point has an airsoft shooting range. Assuming like dicks or target or bjs or something has camping supplies/blankets I have access to food, entertainment, limited medical, tooth brushes, a place to sleep, guns clothes and a bath. It seems like one of the best possible places to wait out zomies, with again the main issue being barricading the windows/ entrances. Even if say the power goes out the book store and comic book shops still have books and comics and there are sky lights so you can read

I recently went to a mall in Slovakia and it was like taking a trip back to the 90s. Full of people, families, hot chicks. America bros... Europe has us beat.

Dicks and bjs?! Woo I know where I'm headed during the apocalypse!

fpbp

the only reason I would ever read a book is if the power was out and there was literally no other option

yikes...

How would you deal with the dickhead security guards though? Not all of us are gonna have ving rhames and hood niggas at our side like the nurse did.

If she was alone, they would have made her a sex slave.

the malls near me ban kids without an adult because too many blacks were getting in fist fights

movie theater and multiple arcades an ice rink, mini golf, a shooting range, escape rooms, those weird 5d shits and a best buy

and you are going to read a book

why do people with limited resources during a time of crisis go to places with lots of unguarded resources???!

Do you not own a gun?

malls were magical places full of food, clothes and all the stuff you would ever need.

Yea, but now the my mall just has a barely functioning food court and then this one sad hand made jewelry kiosk owner. I think I'd hit up a Sams or Costco today though. Try and lock that down.

I do but I'm one person and they're at least 3.

zombies

realistically

What would an alternative option be? Only place I can think of that would cover what a mall covers would be large airports.

laws of thermodynamics say something about zombies

in the event of my life being severely threatened by creatures that want to eat my brain I’m going to the arcade with bleep bloop noises and immerse myself in a video game

You gon die

In a modern day remake they would...

go further distances

to more secure facilities

that's only packed with Temushit and a few coworkers' lunches in the breakroom fridge

Americans are trained to consume. The answer to everything is to consume. It's they're all obese. Consume consume consume. Zombie apocalypse? Must consume. Let's go to the mall.

They are fun

Mall

Preserved food

So gummy bears? Or in your case more like cummy bears get it because you're a faggot

Anti-crowd doors and locks.

American houses are made of reinforced cardboard.

Why do I get the feeling that everyone involved in this was seriously injured?

Big box stores like Walmart, Cosco, etc.

>movie theater and multiple arcades an ice rink, mini golf, a shooting range, escape rooms, those weird 5d shits and a best buy

and you are going to read a book

You're proving that guy's point

I haven’t been to the mall in years, I used to go every weekend.

You know that malls have grocery stores inside right? And a food court, which has canned food, pastas and frozen meat for sure.

Anti-crowd doors

They aren't. Those doors cannot stop a determined group from gaining access to your store.

but zombies are dumb

nignogs are dumber and they were able to get inside stores that had all those things during the summer of love

75% of that shit won't even be functioning when the power goes out, and once the power goes out, that's it, all that shit is now a relic of a lost age. might as well get your recreation in with the stuff not long for the world first. probably the ice rink first, considering how much maintenance that needs

This. Amazon will run the government someday.

Os this a legitimate question or is there something behind? It's a plain allegory of the hollowness of the american dream and consumerism. Legitimately interested to know if you are very young or something alike

It's not an allegory. Malls have supplies, equipment, lots of space, and are defensible, dumb fuck.

Food, water, supplies, shelter, security

The first Dawn of the Dead 1978 was set in a mall.

The kid that starts breakdancing

Lol
Where is this? I think I've been there

The 14 year old goth girls there might know a ritual to undo the curse of the undead.

Because you're not a professional

Wait. So you men zombies going to the mall or characters? I was referring to the zombis. it's main part of the political critique about zombies, the zombies we have all have in our hearts. Maybe watch Romero's second oict, dawn of the zombies. The remake (very old already tho too) is lame. You like it if you have never seen a zombie movie before

I've found the coolest version of zombie habbenings to be in the books from Stephen Knight. These Dead Lands and The Gathering Dead. Tons of military jargon and siege type tactics.

This is a comfy zombie movie. Would a mall back then have had enough food and whatnot to survive for like 6 months? How long would the power last with generators and whatnot? Like would there have been be a store in the mall that sold diesel so you could use that to fill up the generators? It could potentially have been pretty comfy just sitting around in the mall playing PS2 games or watching DVDs or reading or whatever. there was probably a hardware store as well so you could have built some shit to block off the doors on the ground floor to make it more secure.

So now the implications are

without external power sources it's impossible to generate electricity

Yeah... you really don't read books at all huh?

Not to mention that now your example is even more retarded since you're rushing to have fun within the first days of the apocalypse instead of maybe idk making sure you are turning perishable foods into non-perishable foods, securing and reinforcing every entrance to the place you are, etc.

Pol told me only black people act like this

the lore in this universe sucks. the zombies actually came from hell or something and it wasn't a virus or anything. it was basically magic.

One of the big plot points of the original movie is that raiders come and bust into the mall allowing zombies in. So no, even if you get it all boarded up, you're unlikely to last in safety in there if other humans want your shit.

Nta but
As re you for real? Itch. Man, these two movies are in the best you can have. Don't be a faggit

That came later, he just liked the mall as a setting

That came later

How much later are you saying this came because there are interviews with him saying this

But why do zombies go to the mall. It is told in Romero's version at least, that zombies as soon as days go by they resort to do what they used to do when they were alive. I am sure.. I remember. Let me check, watched it many much many years ago

Would a mall in the 2000s have a supermarket with canned food that could last you a few months?

BMWF

woke snyder trash

That's something that happens in that movie. It doesn't make it a fact of life.
For a small group there's enough food in a large mall to last for a couple of years.

only retarded cityfags would do that
rural chads wouldn't even notice there's a zombie outbreak as we live our comfy self-sustaining lifestyle

tl;dr: i'm gonna fuck you in the ass when the apocalypse comes and in between ass fucks you will work the peloton-generator and keep my ice rink powered. UNNNNNGHHHH UNNNNNGHHHHHH!!!!! IM FUCKINNGGG YOUR AAAASSSSS!!!!!! UNNNNGHHHH UNNNNGHHHHHHHHHHHH UNNNNNNNNNNNGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

You know? They have the memory of going to the mall, but in 1978, not in the sonder sense we millennials are selling zoomers and alpha about our lost paradise, but malls meant how shallow the american dream is. Sorry about pic related, at least I didn't copy what fucking Google ai told to my query "dawn of the dead zombies do what they used to do before 1978 that is why they go to the mall"

I would help her do her "rituals"

rural chads

probably leaves his doors unlocked

also trusts every knock at the door anyway

Ever heard of this little thing called "gasoline". Recent human invention and can be used to power generators for quite some time even after it supposedly goes bad.
Maybe instead of going ice skating you could be siphoning gasoline from the cars in the parking area.
Or just making sure you charge every battery you can find you fucking illiterate retard

Do zombies knock though? Checkm8 cityfag

that's because we know who's coming miles away before they even reach my door
and also we have traps against roaming ATF demons

that's YOUR job in between ass fucking sessions. as KING of the mall i don't deign to sully my hands with such work

Train to Busan

Decent first half then devolves into melodramatic korean slop. Fuck the koreans and fuck their zombie movies/shows. They have no souls. They are indian.

For a small group there's enough food in a large mall to last for a couple of years.

but say you lose power after a few weeks or a month. would there be enough non perishable food like canned food

picrel

You need to share proper links and source the quote. So many times I've seen people here share blogs from schizos who make up facts and those are the only results on Google

Shamebump to defend the need of disentangling between Why do

Zombis

Survivors

go to the mall
And the not very subtle layered critique to consumerism Romero did like to portray true and rural America

what would zombies walking around a mall be an allegory for?

hears a scratch at the door

yells, "YEAH I"M COMING. JUST DONE PUTTING AN APPLE PIE OUT TO COOL!

every zombie in a 1 mile radius hears this

how much gas would you need to power a generator for a mall? surely it would be a fuck load right?

Kind of

movie takes place in 2004

what PS2/Gamecube/Xbox games would you be playing while hiding out in the mall?

God it's just such a comfy concept hanging out in an abandoned mall with your bros during a zombie outbreak. I would gladly take a couple nights of this even if it meant I get ripped to shreds by zombies. 04 > original

as somebody who moved to a rural/exurban area and has since suffered it for the past few years i can tell you right now there is no such thing as a "rural chad" lmao every fucking white trash piece of shit out here lives off bi-weekly walmart trips, spending 1/4th of their paycheck/welfare on gas for their faggotmobile trucks, and pretending to do lawnwork by puttering about for 2 fucking hours on a 3500 dollar riding mower to cut a half acre of grass. these people are all low-IQ scumbags and are essentially niggers in almost every way

maybe it's different out in the midwest or the really remote parts of the US and the deep south but the idea of a salt of the earth, self sufficient (in any way), "redneck" or "hillbilly" or any romanticized cowboy types just does not fucking exist as far as i can tell

You speak well but the burden of proof is on you.
Why did the zombie go to the mall.
Did Romero meant anything by this?

It's only ok to say REC is better than Dawn of the Dead remake. The rest makes you a retard.

You don't really need to power an entire mall just the thing you want to use. Some malls even have their own generators for emergencies in order to keep certain things running.
The entire point is it would be unbelievably retarded to go ice skating or catching a movie before the power gets cut instead of doing actually useful things that could save your life.
It's the kind of dumb shit characters do in horror movies because the director is a brainlet and needs a way to kill them

go to high rise construction zone
go to rich friends house
go to board walk and just keep running

Yes. There's rice and pasta stored in the grocery stores and the restaurants. Also pasta sauce, flour, margarine, protein powder, canned meatballs, etc, etc. They also have patio and backyard equipment and camping gear stores, which means BBQ grills, gas, charcoal, lanterns, etc. And of course the restaurants have gas for their stoves. You can also repackage perishable goods so they last longer.

Because we live in a society and the normie masses that used to go to the mall are like a mindless undead horde.

non-whites that cause low trust societies detected

a dicks which sells sports stuff and guns and ammo

lol guess again. Dicks is run by faggots so they quit selling all of that stuff. It's just a place for women to buy yoga pants and shoes.

the zombies actually came from hell or something and it wasn't a virus or anything. it was basically magic.

Cool.

the burden of proof is on you.

No it's not. It's on the person making the claim. That's you.

Snyderbro has the audacity to call someone else a retard

move to a rural area is the solution
the covid social experiment taught this lesson to a lot of people

you seem like you know your stuff. what would you do about blocking up the entrances?

Night of the living dead strongly implies the zombies are a result of a space phenomena, none of Romero's sequels actually touch on it again.

As a Dawn of the Dead 04 appreciator, I have the highest authority in this thread. You're a retard.

Like most dead things zombies would have nascent immune systems so it takes them years to fully decompose dumbass.

If that pail seals you get the exact same effect by chucking the unopened bags in with the oxygen absorber and closing it up. Your video is dumb. Also, enjoy your carbon monoxide poisoning grilling food indoors

Rip off

I loved both.

zombie apocalypse starts

immediately run to nearest Costco/walmart

lock all doors

start gardening on rooftop

Could easily last six months so long as you can keep all the other survivors out.

You have to make out of the city alive first

kek the ref

Pretty easy so long as you can get your hands on a bike.

You won't be able to. That's always the problem. Either they're gonna take your shit, or be let in an have disagreements or otherwise want to be in charge. You don't just suddenly get a free costco all to yourself. And everyone else will have the same idea.

are you not reading what i wrote retard? the very white people i thought would be my peers are just as bad as the shitskin trash i'd moved away from nearer to the city. i am white and apparently whiter than every other white person i live around because it couldn't be a lower trust portion of society

I meant it more playfully that in legal terms (in that sense you are correct)
Seriously. Illustrate yourself
Why did the zombie go to the cinema. Does Romero's zombies series convey any political meanings? The burden of educating you is not on me

This

Dawn of the dead premise (OP's Mall, mainly) is satirical.

How can I argument it? Obviously a Wikipedia ir reddit article would be discarded cause are cringe, and I concur. This should be obvious though. And that's why I ventured OP is probably very young.

It's interesting, btw, how different kinds of monsters relate to socioeconomics a historical demographic periods

Brainlet

jews aren't white

Mixed up my reply sori sori

Not an argument. I’m taking control of the mall

Getting out to rural areas is the key. Once you have a small base out of there you can come back into civilization to forage for shit. Being stuck in a mall would be awful

people are dying while safe in their cars

thinks he can make it on a bike, peddling for 100 miles

Damn you old fucks are delusional malls are still like thst today

I always laugh at the running jump thing people do. Like they want to use their momentum but they don't actually know any moves.

It depends where you live. I used to live in a place where all the malls were infested with nogs trying to fight and steal shit so nobody really went to them, but now I live in a mostly white area and it's weird seeing so many people walking around. I'm not used to things being normal.

UNNNNGHHHH UNNNNGHHHHH!!! IM FUCKING YOURR AAASSSSSSSSS!!!!! UNNNGHH UNNNGHHH UNNNNNNNNNGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

In america rural areas are far from city centers. You're not going to be able to travel back and forth as freely as you seem to think

This is what I keep thinking as well any time this topic comes up. I guess these people don't go outside ever.

Splinter Cell

After giving it some thought I’d probably try and find the nearest Walmart distribution centre and set up shop there. It’s usually a big unassuming warehouse relatively far from anything that anyone would notice. If I see any of you there I’ll shoot on sight, nothing personal, it’s the zombie apocalypse

anons think they can skip down the highway to wherever they want or try to leave town easily

Within a month most zombies would have starved to death or decomposed

Retard. If the dead can rise, obvious they aren't following your bullshit rules on decomposition.

Me? Why, I set myself up as the Lord of the Springfield Cheese Caves.

Could easily last six months

You could last years in there

yfw it was never infected

what did snyder mean by this

I grew up in the Ozarks and would immediately fuck off back to there if something like this ever happened.

All the glowie tunnel entrances are there too and up around Arnold. They apparently have fast reactors and transportation systems to other glowie tunnels nationally. The cheese horde is a convenient front, like, the cheese is there but all kinds of shit is going on underground and not just dairy companies and government. Much of it is private sector schizos with too much money, and I wish I was one of them. Imagine finding and claiming a glowie tunnel, just you and your bros as the undead overtake the cities and kill off the blacks finally. Meanwhile you have a personal maglev train and several concubines, unburdened by what has been.

Immune system is irrelevant. Everytime they move they are burning calories. Unless they're consistently eating, which they aren't, they would use their body for fuel.

and they call it a mine. a mine!

I see what he's saying if they're the slow as fuck zombies. Because of rigor mortis and other shit like with their metabolic demands, they may be able to last much longer than a human in a fasted state. Plus they're eating the dogs and cats and snakes and gophers and shit, raccoons and skunks too probably. Mice and rabbits if they are the scary fast zombies maybe. Occasionally part of a person or even a whole man if they get lucky.

All kinds of possibilities anon.

But what if the zombies get in and eat all the cheese?

Imagine the smell. Rotting flesh and cheese farts. Imagine

That's a legitimate strategy.

get the zombies to eat large amounts of something dense and heavy

suddenly they're too heavy and bloated to move

Zombies can't digest, much less lactose.

Zombies can't digest, much less lactose.

But can they lacTATE, is the question?

No society is lower trust than an American White Rural society. Bunch of fat Walmart parasites who are all just looking for an excuse to murder their neighbors.

It all comes down to the fact that Zombies are magic (no matter what technobabble about "viruses" or "infection" you justify them with) and so what does or does not work on them is entirely up to the whims of the writer. No different than Vampires having different rules in every work of vampire fiction. So most of what would be the "optimal" course of action in dealing with them, especially long term, can only be discussed after stating "In X Movie" or "In Y Book".
