Can I HAZ ZombieZ???

Zombies! Zombies!! Zombies!!!

The trailer for World War Z has been unleashed to the world. Go watch it now. Yes, stop reading and go watch it. You know where to find it. Are you back? Yes? Good. On we go. And yes, I did say unleashed because these Zombies are fast, agile, and feel superhuman compared to that of The Walking Dead and even a far cry from Night of the Living Dead. Zombies have gotten faster, smarter, and deadlier.

And yet to all of that, I have a distain for all of that. I have no interest in Zombies. I do not watch The Walking Dead and will not no matter how much people like it. Zombies turn me off and (personally) find them unbelievable to the extent that its funny. Now, you may think "you're supposed to suspend your beliefs and go with it" and you may have a point. Maybe I need to stop over thinking it. However, in all these movies, there's one thing that I always didn't understand.

How did this Zombie Apocalypse happen? You always catch it in the middle after a troop of people have been infected and are now going around seeking their "human hosts" but it never states where it began and who was patient zero. Not only that, but once they see these symptoms, how are they able to infect more people and how is this disease spread? The traditional route is through biting and flesh wounds, but about skin to skin contact? Is it a blood transfusion? Is it saliva? What constitutes the transformation from Human to Zombie to where we can call them Zombies. Do they have to be dead and then reanimated via virus or is it the slow decay of consciousness until all you think about is infecting another person.

That also has me perplexed. What is a Zombies goal? They aren't cannibals because they don't completely eat the human victim, but merle bite them and move on thus turning the human meal into a Zombie like them. Why stop? Why not eat them whole? Is the flesh feeding them? And if so, why not eat dogs or cows or chickens? That's meat too. That's skin too. Zombies infecting and leaving never made any sense to me.

Until a movie comes out where the origins of the Zombie Virus is explained, and answers the basic questions of infection from a who/what/where/when/why/how stand point, I have no interest in these Zombie films or TV shows. Oh, and as for the movie Warm Bodies coming out, all I can say is GAAAAAAAY!!!!
