Case in point: there aren’t nearly as many diseases that originated in the Americas compared to ones that originated in Europe, Asia, etc, solely because the people living there before the 1600s did not have much contact with animals, making it harder to transmit diseases from animals to humans. That’s why so many of the diseases that affected people in the U.S in the 1900s were originally brought to the U.S by European immigrants.

I feel like someone ha the idea of the zombie tower and they lost sight of everything else they could've used from the book, my personal favorite being the comparison of the Battle of Yonkers to the later battles. It really deserves a Contagion style movie, where everything about fighting the virus is dissected and the crucial and interesting details are shown. The best part about its depiction of multiple narratives is you get to see the effects outside of one individual, you get to see the doctor treating "Patient Zero" and the first incidents that grabbed the globes attention, to the very end showing how the post zombie war world is very much different. Heck there's even a guy who tells his story from on the ISS, like how could the movie not use that-

The book was so good- it was believable, and I really liked the interview style and that it covered many different stories, each dealing with it in it’s own way. My wife and I watched the movie in the theater, which was a rarity for us- she loved it, and while I thought it was a good zombie movie, I didn’t like that it wasn’t a great representation of the source material- and I think that she only liked it so much because she had not read the book. Either way, though, it was a fun watch. Thanks for the video- stay safe and healthy!

How could you think the book was better than the movie when it removed the most important element that should be part and parcel of anything zombie related; fear. The interviewees telling their stories couldn't have inspired that if you knew they survived to tell their story afterwards. Just doesn't make any sense man

In the Books, the Zombies weren't moving "fast" or do I remember it wrongly? Because, I think to remember the "Account" which described why it was a special challenge to fight those "Slowly moving Waves which regardless of the circumstances simple advanced" which caused, at first, the Soldier to panic and so on.
@MsDragonbal776 3 жыл бұрын
Your right, which is another reason why I can't understand why people keep praising the book over the movie. Nobody cares about slow moving zombies. You can just walk around them like they do in the walking dead. The whole idea just completely eliminates any sense of fear
@DaroriDerEinzige 3 жыл бұрын
@@MsDragonbal776 The Book was pretty good and I personally enjoyed it more than the Movie. And the issue with "Slow Movin' Zombies" is kinda more complicated because they don't need sleep, aren't stopped by injuries and weren't even stopped by the lack of oxygen. It's simple different. Actually, something which approaches slowly gives a whole different vibe. Which can cause panic. I mean, livin' Dead. Not really something people are used to.

Though I didn't read the book, but what u said and the way u said it, makes me want them to make it into a trilogy. Would be awesome to see some pre-war outbreak, post war fighting back against zombies now with the non-lethal pathogen to conceal and fight the zombies. They can even do spinoffs like how Israel deal with the situation after the zombies breach the city, or even in the US military base in Korea, how it first got attacked by the zombies, survive, and facilitate Gerry and his team and after that what happened, and pretty much many other countries too, basically creating 1 big universe.
