Zombie Cliche Lookout: A Thing or Two
Even in the zombie apocalypse, people will still need to assert themselves over others. There are a lot of reasons for this, from supporting your side in an argument to intimidating another group of survivors into doing what you want them to do. You know, you can use these powers for good or evil. So when it comes to intimidation, what better way of doing that than showing the people you’re trying to scare that their safe place isn’t so safe as they had assumed. How to do this? Well, one way might be to show them that you’ve already infiltrated them, thoroughly, and they never even noticed. That’s creepy, right? I mean, I’d be pretty creeped out by that.
Oh, and make sure you keep a big friendly smile on your face the whole time.
About this Episode:
I know there have been mixed feelings on this scruffy looking guy with the big smile (don’t worry, he’ll get a name really soon; I’ve already shot the episode). But man, I really like him so far.
Discussion Question: Putting on the Squeeze
Okay, so I assume we all like to see ourselves as good guys (most of us, anyway). But, let’s just completely ignore that for a few minutes, shall we? Let’s say your group of zombie apocalypse survivors are pretty liberal when it comes to morality, which is to say you’re a bunch of jerks. You discover another group of survivors, but they’re a bunch of boring dogoodniks. Time to do some bad guy stuff: what are you going to do to show your utter dominance and force them to do what you want? Also, what do you want? All their weapons and supplies? Some hostages? So, go ahead and embrace your inner villain, everyone.
If I didn’t know any better, I’d say this guy is a commenter from Dave’s comments section! 😀 He’s certainly not me, though, his hair is brown and mine is grayish with streaks of black although, come to think of it it might just be shadows. I used to have brown hair in my younger years.
How time flies, sometimes! 😀
Hah; I only know what a handful of the commenters actually look it.
Also, who is he referring to as “chubby”? I think he’s short a brain cell somewhere. 😀
Sam! He did have quite the belly when he was quarantined by that crazy family.
Right you are, Pepper. Sam has a bit of a spare tire on him.
What if the comic actually takes place near the DC area, and this is Aaron from The Walking Dead Comic Books. Its been a while, but I think this guy looks a Lot like Aaron!
Or maybe Dwight. Idk. I haven’t seen Dwight in the comics, yet.
Or…maybe Morales from The Walking Dead season one found a lego video game. Started to play it,he pulled a Jumanji, and got sucked into the lego universe! And this is Morales.
Okay, that Morales one probably isnt right.
Fun theories all around. One of these days I’m going to get caught up on the comic. Isn’t it coming to an end now?
Also, the comic is set in Michigan, almost completely because I am set in Michigan.
For the Discussion Question:
How big is my group? How Big is their group?
If we’re evenly matched, id say to do some sneaky work. Maybe take some hostages. Trade them for supplies.
If we have the numbers, we could probably just scare/kill them.
If we’re outnumbered. Then we could try the hostages. Or I’d try to lead a herd to them. They might use a lot of amo defending themselves. But if the herd is big and scary enough, it should kill the group. Or at least split them up. Making them easy targets. Once the herd passes through. Go in and take the supplies they left behind.
Damn, you went right to the nuclear option with a big group of zeds.
For the Discussion Question:
Get a woman from your group. Or your skinniest, weakest looking guy. Send her in to act exhausted and helpless.
Those idiots will take her in. They’ll help her, feed her. They’re too nice. They’ll let her stay a while. After a couple days. She’ll poison them. Whether its through food, water, air, what have you. As long as it gets them dead, it’ll do. 😉 😀
Ruthless!
When the TV series The Colony did this they sent in a pregnant woman. People generally try to help pregnant people.
Ouch!… after frame #2, the temperature just dropped sub-zero.
Sub-zero? More like absolute zero! 😀
Bluntly we are all bigots. Maybe not racially but humans tend to be tribal and band together with those of the same characteristics be they physical, social, political or religious. When the zeds come and tear down society you are going to start building up the biggest group of similar people you can and make sure the rest don’t interfere with your glorious new world. So outright killing of “those people” or stripping of their things and sending them out to die would be the plan. You said go evil.
