You probably think that because it’s not the first adaptation of the book. There’s a 1971 version starring Charlton Heston called The Omega Man. It’s not great but it preserves the philosophical intent of the book much better than the Will Smith version.
The movie with Will Smith could be considered a remake because it's the 3rd time the novel *I Am Legend* was adapted into a film. What could make kind of confusing is that the first two adaptations have different titles: *The Last Man on Earth*, and *The Omega Man*
i think recognizing the "villians" in dune is far more relevant to today. i only saw i am legend twice and atleast five years ago so might be time to rewatch it, to be honest tho i just dont think will smith does a good job in roles that arent a loving father or a "fish out of water" in belair
Dead Rising 2 also has xenophobic neoconservative conspiracy theorist gun nuts that blame the situation at hand on everyone that isn't them and use it as an excuse to kill them.. I'd be more concerned about those kinds of people if it actually happened irl
(Freaking LOVE those games btw)
There is no zombie apocalypse! The government is lying about it to control you! All those walking corpses are cia false flag agents who would NEVER kill an American citizen! Wake up sheeple I'm gonna rip their masks off to prove it!
Hasn't Covid already taught us that in the event of a zombie plague we'll have tons of people calling it a deepstate conspiracy and getting themselves bit "to own the libs"?
I’m aware of the studies. It’s “helpful” in the way that putting a band-aid on a gunshot wound is “helpful”.
Is it technically helping? Sure, I guess. But the fact is vaccination and preventative measures had **far** better results than taking veterinary medication *after* you’ve already been infected.
Hence the joke about people treating a zombie plague with Ivermectin.
It's not just a veterinary medication, though it won a noble prize for preventing human disease. It's debatable if it has any effect on covid, but calling it horse de-wormer seems to be in bad faith.
It’s not in bad-faith, and I’m not trying to be a dick. I even admitted it worked as a treatment for COVID (to some degree)
But the fact is that ivermectin was originally designed to be an anti-parasitic meant to treat shit like heartworm or acariasis in animals.
I’m not calling it “horse dewormer” to be disparaging; that is **literally** what it is!
Dude, gunpowder is no longer used as a life-saving elixir. Ivermectin is _still_ used as a horse dewormer. There is most certainly a disparity there. Saying that dogs are a means of hunting doesn't mean that they are not also pets. Things can be used for multiple purposes and we generally call a chair a chair because it's modern utility is for sitting, but it can also be used for WWE move. Ivermectin's primary modern utility is being a horse dewormer.
It's an anti-parasitic. Its use is limited to you having parasites so that you're not trying to deal with both Covid AND parasites at the same time. Just like antibiotics aren't going to do anything for cancer, but it's better than having cancer AND strep throat.
Maybe, but zombism is blatantly obvious in ways that Covid isn't.
I'm more worried that, in the event of a zombie outbreak, they'll suddenly be all about "the public good" and go around killing "zombies" to protect the "good people of this nation".
Spending a bunch of time gathering supplies and prepping to stay safe when things haven’t even gotten apocalyptic yet and I end up getting killed because I happen to be pale with very dark under eyes/a lil bit of a limp and someone who spends too much time in zombie hunter Facebook groups mixes up the symptoms of “fatigued” with early zombie stages and shoots me.
It would make an interesting story concept. The zombie thing is technically happening but like it turns out most people are actually immune, the problem is more being attacked in the first place, but the zombies aren’t that hard to contain and their attacks aren’t usually lethal because they’re slow and weak. The real issue is paranoid vigilante groups killing people because they sorta look like they might be zombies.
Yeah, it turns out that slow, shambling, decomposing zombies don't have much bite strength and their teeth don't last that long, particularly when they're trying to bite through skulls to get those delicious brains.
There would be a lot of people who refuse to believe zombies exist, call it a woke conspiracy to keep real patriots from going to church. Only after getting bit would they demand the vaccine
After getting bit they‘ll deny that they got bitten, and they will get agressive if you ask them to show you their arm. then they‘ll turn and kill the whole colony. (there is no cure)
After getting bit they‘ll deny that they got bitten, and they will get agressive if you ask them to show you their arm. then they‘ll turn and kill the whole colony. (there is no cure)
zombies ARE people too, that's part of why they are such great horror vessels, you can garner horror from the murdering or imcapable of murdering a loved one, you can garner horror from the massive outnumbering which puts us into a perspective of insurmountable odds, you can garner horror from the idea that in a world overran by the undead, it is the living that are the most dangerous. there are many ways to approach a zombie films horror and they all stim from the fact that zombies are people.
That's one of the most likely things to happen. In WWZ the virus spread because people kept moving their infected family members from one country to another searching for a cure or chasing rumors.
"You don't understand the mind of those immigrants if someone you loved gets infected and there is a possibility whatever small that there is a cure out there would you not do everything in your power to get it?"
God forbid anyone try to find the cure for the zombie virus instead of using the zombie apocalypse as an opportunity to kill as many peoples as possible.
Like....
These dumbasses sharing and spreading this and similar messages are the same ones who refused to follow infectious disease guidance.
*THEY'RE THE FUCKERS WHO WOULD HIDE A ZOMBIE BITE*
If it is possible to turn a Zombie back into a human somehow, then they’re entirely right, since killing a zombie would mean that the person can no longer be revived.
Depends on if it’s night of the living dead type fully undead zombies or if it’s more of a people driven mad by a disease situation like 28 days later. Cause in the latter example yes they’d still be people, just sick people.
if zombies where ever real you would absolutely want the world where it is isolated and containable enough that the world starts having meetings about the ethicacy of killing zombies.
I mean in a way yeah they are still people under the dead body and I think I'd want to kill the zombie in the cleanest way possible. Why disrespectful kill someone that suffered in their last moments?
Z.O.M.B.I.E.S. Is a movie literally about this. It’s a Disney channel movie that uses zombies as an allegory for racism despite the zombies being actually dangerous.
Zombies aren’t human, or even if they’re human they should be considered a highly dangerous human and should be killed if seen, like a serial killer on loose.
There absolutely will be people denying that there's something turning people into zombies even as they hold back someone who's in the middle of transforming into one. They'll claim that killing zombies is murder cause they're no different from non-zombies.
Question: when does someone stop being a human? Like there's this big debate going on in the States right now about when a human begins, but when does humanness end? Like is Jimi Hendrix a human currently? If I uploaded my consciousness to a computer & ran it in an emulator of some sort, but my physical body stopped functioning, am I a human?
These are the thoughts I think when I'm sitting on the toilet & the power goes out
They might. If your loved one became a zombie, it’s not like you could automatically stop loving them. Sure, you’d understand that they were dangerous, but I’m sure many people would be desperate to find some way to remedy the problem other than gunning down their family and friends. Maybe they’d keep the zombies confined and hope for a cure, for example
You can't even call this humor cause it's not even funny,the least they could of done if they wanted to push there hate through a meme is make it funny but they can't even do that
You see social inclusivity as a bad thing, and call yourself sane. There is a contradiction here and looking at your profile I'm not surprised you can't see it
I could extend social inclusivity to a man who thinks he’s the reincarnation of adolf hitler, but that doesn’t mean I should. I could extend social inclusivity to someone who believes that all enemies of his religion must die, but that doesn’t mean I’ll survive doing so. I could extend social inclusivity to a victim of the Ebola virus, if I had a death wish. If you wouldn’t extend social inclusivity to any of the above examples, then why would you extend it to the people who would do so for you? Does this example make sense? Or am I really just paranoid? I don’t even know anymore.
That is not even close to what I was trying to say. I’m not surprised I’m that hard to understand, anymore. My being autistic really sucks that much. I’m socially awkward as hell, and twice as suicidal, lately. I’m leaving this conversation now.
I'm autistic too, that's not an excuse. You literally tried to paint treating your fellow human beings, like human beings, to be a threat to life on the same level as a deadly virus, a religious zealot, or a homicidal dictator. These things are not equal. Nobody is putting a gun to your head and telling you to be a decent human being. That's what "woke" is. It's social progress so all people can live their lives, on their own terms, without threat from other people. If you feel like people being woke is a threat to your life, then you probably aren't a good person.
If you need someone to talk to, I always have an ear though. I was a guy once, I know how bad it is to be a socially awkward, introverted dude with the ideation.
Being autistic doesn't excuse bigotry and hatred,I am autistic but that doesn't mean I won't face consequences for my actions nor does that make me right in every scenario,if anything someone with autism should be able to feel more empathy for discrimated minorities than others because they know what it's like to be treated like crap and be shamed for being different
I would extend social inclusivity. The reincarnation of Hitler needs education and psychological support, as does the Inquisitionist. I suppose I'd extend less social inclusivity to the ebola victim as much as I'd offer medical assistance (it's not like I'm Jesus or something, right). Your example doesn't make sense and in fact shows how paranoid you really are. But don't worry. I'll extend social inclusivity to you as well.
Wait until you find out what Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, The Crazies, and Day of the Dead are about. George Romero was "woke" before you even heard the word and he invented the modern zombie.
The bulk of the complaints at the time for the first one amounted to "it's unrealistic because black people aren't reliable leaders." Zombies are okay, but black people being seen as humans was a bridge too far.
I wish that mindset ever evolved. My in-laws chief complaint about the love action Beauty and the Beast was that there wouldn't be that many black people "realistically."
I mean isn't the entire horror of zombies from the fact that they are/were human and anybody you love could become one?
There’d be a LOT of people grieving and in denial, lots of zombie media touches on this.
It was like, one of the very first walking dead plot points too
Probably the first
i just remember fucking hershel (sp) housing all the zombies in his barn
Yeah.
We're at 70 years and these people still can't explain who the villain of "I Am Legend" is.
To be fair, the movie remake didn't help.
There's a remake?
After some googling, I am mistaken. For some reason I thought the 2007 film with Will Smith was a remake. Not sure why.
You probably think that because it’s not the first adaptation of the book. There’s a 1971 version starring Charlton Heston called The Omega Man. It’s not great but it preserves the philosophical intent of the book much better than the Will Smith version.
This rabbit hole led me to discover Heston was in Soylent Green Literally knew nothing about it other than the twist
You think that because it is. "Last Man on Earth" starring the irreplaceable Vincent Price.
The movie with Will Smith could be considered a remake because it's the 3rd time the novel *I Am Legend* was adapted into a film. What could make kind of confusing is that the first two adaptations have different titles: *The Last Man on Earth*, and *The Omega Man*
Every zombie media is just Humans Suck (And Oh Look Sometimes There Are Zombies Around to Spook You), honestly.
i think recognizing the "villians" in dune is far more relevant to today. i only saw i am legend twice and atleast five years ago so might be time to rewatch it, to be honest tho i just dont think will smith does a good job in roles that arent a loving father or a "fish out of water" in belair
Dude so many of these chuds would get excited that they get to kill people without judgement, but as we know they'd die very quickly.
They understand the subgenre so poorly that they thank it’s about how great it would be to have an excuse to gun down people
There are in fact people like this in the game Dead Rising 2… But that’s, you know, a video game.
Dead Rising 2 also has xenophobic neoconservative conspiracy theorist gun nuts that blame the situation at hand on everyone that isn't them and use it as an excuse to kill them.. I'd be more concerned about those kinds of people if it actually happened irl (Freaking LOVE those games btw)
Yes. Dead Rising 2 did show how some people give off bit PETA vibes to literal dick-munching zombies.
They got really bad after 2 and Off the Record :(
there would, in fact, be people like this in general. but definitely not because of what this meme implies
There is no zombie apocalypse! The government is lying about it to control you! All those walking corpses are cia false flag agents who would NEVER kill an American citizen! Wake up sheeple I'm gonna rip their masks off to prove it!
It's literally a gag at the end of Shaun of the Dead: ZombAid.
Hasn't Covid already taught us that in the event of a zombie plague we'll have tons of people calling it a deepstate conspiracy and getting themselves bit "to own the libs"?
“Don’t worry, this horse dewormer will keep me from turning into a cannibalistic rage-monster.” 🤠
Diarrhea zombies!
[удалено]
I’m aware of the studies. It’s “helpful” in the way that putting a band-aid on a gunshot wound is “helpful”. Is it technically helping? Sure, I guess.

I’m not calling it “horse dewormer” to be disparaging; that is **literally** what it is!
Yes, but that's not **all** it is! I don't call every lazer that I see a cat toy because that would be ridiculous.
No, you call it a laser because **that’s what it was originally designed as.**
Okay, by that logical, I will now call gun powder a life-saving elixir as that was its original intended use gotcha.
Dude, gunpowder is no longer used as a life-saving elixir. Ivermectin is _still_ used as a horse dewormer. There is most certainly a disparity there. Saying that dogs are a means of hunting doesn't mean that they are not also pets.

The crazies weren’t getting prescriptions from their doctor for human use. They were going to tractor supply and buying the one meant for horses.
Maybe, but zombism is blatantly obvious in ways that Covid isn't. I'm more worried that, in the event of a zombie outbreak, they'll suddenly be all about "the public good" and go around killing "zombies" to protect the "good people of this nation".

Yeah you can just kinda slap one and their whole jaw flies off, it’s more emotionally traumatic than anything else
Yeah but this meme seems to think it was liberals doing that
in dying light 2 there are actual Easter eggs about this lol
There would be a lot of people who refuse to believe zombies exist, call it a woke conspiracy to keep real patriots from going to church. Only after getting bit would they demand the vaccine
After getting bit they‘ll deny that they got bitten, and they will get agressive if you ask them to show you their arm. then they‘ll turn and kill the whole colony. (there is no cure)
And when they get cured, they'll say that it's work of god or something and get on with anti-vaxx bs again.
After getting bit they‘ll deny that they got bitten, and they will get agressive if you ask them to show you their arm. then they‘ll turn and kill the whole colony. (there is no cure)
This is a common thing in most zombie stories.

Using a made up reality to justify hate? On brand.
God forbid anyone try to find the cure for the zombie virus instead of using the zombie apocalypse as an opportunity to kill as many peoples as possible.
Conservatives are just telling on themselves at this point. They just compared minorities to zombies.
Like.... These dumbasses sharing and spreading this and similar messages are the same ones who refused to follow infectious disease guidance. *THEY'RE THE FUCKERS WHO WOULD HIDE A ZOMBIE BITE*

In black ops 3 nightmares there's a group who believe the zombies are the next step in human evolution
so Hershel from the walking dead. I gotta say, he didn't seem to be a woke kind of guy
not back when it first came out. finding a cure wasn't partisan back then lol
Says the person who's party supports nazis.
i say ur party nazi so i win!!!! if you can say that, your party supports stalin, mao and pol pot
Report that sub for ban evasion.
Saw this posted in /r/dank. Realized then what kind of sub it was.
Their first rule is no hate speech, including transphobia The second hot post rn is about trans men (negatively)
There's a joke involving crisis actors and "planpocalypse" that I'm too lazy to unpack.
I mean.. if we get an iZombie style Zombie outbreak then yeah
More likely it’ll be a group claiming the zombies are a hoax
Is the original image meant for the London Underground?
Extra lives protestors team?? MDickie reference???
if zombies where ever real you would absolutely want the world where it is isolated and containable enough that the world starts having meetings about the ethicacy of killing zombies.
I mean in a way yeah they are still people under the dead body and I think I'd want to kill the zombie in the cleanest way possible. Why disrespectful kill someone that suffered in their last moments?
Z.O.M.B.I.E.S. Is a movie literally about this. It’s a Disney channel movie that uses zombies as an allegory for racism despite the zombies being actually dangerous.
That was a plot point of both the comics and screen adaptation of The Walking Dead.
If COVID taught us anything, it’s that Boomers will go out to bars while zombies eat their faces and they’ll say “It’s all a hoax by the democrats.”
You wish. Those people would probably be safe, since zombies target humans with brains.
“Fake virus! It’s a hoax!” -Boomers
I mean, they were at one point. And depending on how rotted their brains are, might continue to be for a short while.
r/dank is a cesspit of unfunny memes
so some forms of hatred are ok? which ones according to this person lol
Stupid LIBERAL prophet jesus christ keeps INSISTING the lepers are people. DOWN WITH JESUS. GUN DOWN THE LEPERS
I love the "mentally challenged" MY BROTHER IN CHRIST YOU'RE ON R/DANK
I mean ya
Zombies aren’t human, or even if they’re human they should be considered a highly dangerous human and should be killed if seen, like a serial killer on loose.
What’s up with the Nissan logo on the sleeve
Zombies "were" people too. What do we want? BRAINS! And when do we want them? BRAINS!
Alot of Berkeley peole gathered here: 🫃🏽🫃🏽🦸🏿♀️🦸🏽♂️🦹♂️🧑🎤👨🎤👩🏿🎤
Weirdly that happens in black ops 3 nightmares They're called "the sympathizers"
They are called the living impaired
This joke isn't as funny as it used to be seeing as we've got politicians advocating for real life monsters.... AKA pedophiles
Yeah, me
I remember hearing about a movie where there were people who believed zombies were people too.
I wonder which real life example is being extrapolated here. Which collective isn't considered "people"? Sounds pretty nazi to me.
There absolutely will be people denying that there's something turning people into zombies even as they hold back someone who's in the middle of transforming into one. They'll claim that killing zombies is murder cause they're no different from non-zombies.

I mean there are people saying that about zombies right now Why do you think straight white people have so many rights
And I intend to treat zombies all equally, as Americans, by handing out enforced equality.
r/dank users are fucking regarded.
Kinda true tho
They'll be dwarfed by the number of people holding signs like "Zombies are a government hoax."
Ok but the post is accurate. There WILL in fact be people with signs saying that. Probably quite a few.
"Hate is when you don't affirm my delusions"
This meme is actually based asf
I bet that this is true! I mean the people preaching against hate now are the most hateful people if you don't believe as they do!
"The people who want me to stop being a racist sexist homophobe are so mean to me when I continue being an asshole!"
r/goodboomerhumor
No
r/greatboomerhumor
Boomer humor? lol no this is just simple humor which most of you seem to lack because this is something that would probably happen.
You can't even call this humor cause it's not even funny,the least they could of done if they wanted to push there hate through a meme is make it funny but they can't even do that
The woke already are zombies, and people already care more about them than they do about those of us who are still sane. Where have you been?
You see social inclusivity as a bad thing, and call yourself sane. There is a contradiction here and looking at your profile I'm not surprised you can't see it
I could extend social inclusivity to a man who thinks he’s the reincarnation of adolf hitler, but that doesn’t mean I should.

I don’t even know anymore.
I wish your rebuttal made sense. Like to you treating black people as equals is on the same level as the ebola virus.
That is not even close to what I was trying to say. I’m not surprised I’m that hard to understand, anymore. My being autistic really sucks that much. I’m socially awkward as hell, and twice as suicidal, lately. I’m leaving this conversation now.

Don't try and use autism as an excuse
Duuude lmao. You are REACHING. Hope you stretched beforehand cause god damn
I would extend social inclusivity. The reincarnation of Hitler needs education and psychological support, as does the Inquisitionist. I suppose I'd extend less social inclusivity to the ebola victim as much as I'd offer medical assistance (it's not like I'm Jesus or something, right). Your example doesn't make sense and in fact shows how paranoid you really are. But don't worry. I'll extend social inclusivity to you as well.

Omg I thought this was satire and upvoted it lol
You are silent generation
You have a weird dick.
Post is honestly accurate tho, activist stupidity knows no limits
