You’ve got me stumped.
“End Of The World, Part II”?
I forgot to add a reference:
At the end of King Kong, the authorities had a variety of options how to deal with him, ranging from leaving him to come down when he’s hungry, to raining the whole dense neighborhood with aerial machine gun bullets. Denham must’ve forgotten all about the gas bombs he used to capture him in the first place.
Maybe a little song and dance, like in Young Frankenstein. Of course, that didn’t work out so well either.
Hell, the fact that zombies can walk at all is highly improbable.
Do you know how complicated it is for humans to even stand upright? Do you know how many tubes, fluids, muscles and delicate sensory organs are involved? There’s no way that a half-rotted/half-desiccated zombie has a functional vestibular system. No, those guys are slithering on the ground at best. There’s no way a non-magic zombie can walk.
A ‘Walking Dead’ style zombie pandemic could not really happen. At least, not if you removed the ‘everybody becomes a zombie upon death’ part. That’s probably why they added it. TWD zombies ate people if given a chance. Rick’s wife was completely consumed by zombies. Let’s say the classic ‘Romero’ style zombies that shamble and eat people. Early on in a zombie outbreak, people get bit, manage to get away, then turn into zombies. So it starts to spread. But as soon as survivors figure out how to kill zombies, while it’s not too widespread, it would be relatively simple to wipe out the zombies and stop the spread. But if they couldn’t stop it right away, and zombies did become more widespread, victims would get overwhelmed by hordes of zombies and would simply get eaten. So no more spread of zombies. There’s a self-limiting factor.
The World War Z zombies (in the movie at least; I read the book but don’t really remember it) made more sense, transmission-wise, since they only bit humans in order to spread the virus. They left their victims intact. And zombification was quick (like 11 seconds if I recall). So not much time to mercy-kill an infected victim.
- On the original Flintstones cartoon, did they ever explain just how a Stone Age television set works?
- Do Kryptonians ever get cancer? Sure they have super-invulnerability, but wouldn’t the cancer have it too?
They never explained how a vehicle with massive granite wheels could be propelled by Fred’s two feet either.
One of the Mythbuster offshoots checked into that one, with terrible results.
Hey, those people were STRONG! A daintily built car hop carried a platter of giant ribs heavy enough to overbalance Fred’s car. And a news boy could throw a slab of carved stone several yards.
Doesn’t Deadpool have something like that? And he is fine… sort of.
What good is a sign that says, “To: New Jersey” in the middle of the bridge?
Maybe it’s meant to inform drivers that they’ve made a wrong turn? 
Once they’ve reached that sign there’s nothing they can do about it unless they “pull a Lou” (I made that up).
I once did a comic series on “The Real Zombie Apocalypse”, in which the premise was that it was an apocalypse for the zombies. In the initial outbreak, people killed all the zombies almost immediately, and afterwards, we developed procedures for dealing with potential zombiefication. Like the ZKG, the Zombie Cardiogram. Ambulance crews would put it on a patient, and if it detected them dying, it immediately destroyed the brain, so the zombie wouldn’t get a chance to bite anyone.
Yes. Also the entire suite of Kryptonian powers. Kancer is a supervillain in fact, made from cancer removed from Superman. I suppose it makes dianosis easier.
“Your cancer is highly aggressive.”
“Yeah, I can tell since it keeps swearing eternal vengeance and punching me in the face.”
Soup
However, the premise as shown in the movie is absurd. If you started displaying zombie behavior within a minute or two of being bitten, it would get noticed and you’d get stopped - it would not have spread worldwide that fast.
To go worldwide, an illness has to have a long enough incubation period that you have a chance to travel and spread it. As in COVID: it has a few days to incubate. You get exposed, 3 days later you’re on another continent and you’re shedding viruses.
The whole transmission by biting is suspect also. I mean, most people KNOW if they’ve been bitten. In TWD, at least the TV series, you get the sense that something airborne happened which caused everyone to become infected.
You can’t boil a friar.
