And despite barely getting enough food to eat the men are all jacked bodybuilders with 2% body fat in perfectly fitting muscle tees. Nobody gets utis or fungal infections despite not bathing. No one has to deal either poor eyesight or healing loss (especially since they shoot guns constantly without protection) Nobody gets worms or other parasites from eating bad food. Or dies from dehydration due to diarrhea. Etc etc.
It’s almost like the point of these scenarios is fun escapism and isn’t about perfectly simulating an apocalyptic wasteland down to the most mundane and uninteresting parts.

Also, they time travel past going to the shitter, sleeping, most of the journeys etc. So unrealistic that it’s literally unwatchable.
Right? Just aging will get you an infection at the slightest change in the wind. Slept wrong? Ear Infection. Used those eyedrops and accidentally breathed into the cap before using it again? Hello eye infection. Oops didn’t pee after sex? Hello UTI. Heck didn’t even have sex? Your biome changed? UTI anyways.
Oh and if your infection gets out of hand: not enough doctors and you run a high chance of dying in ER
There’s a reason why the life expectancy shot up after antibiotics were developed. The moment we go back into the apocalypse we’re gonna start dying before 45 again. And more gruesome and painful ways than a zombie attack. Heck that will be considered humane.
It’s not really fun escapism when it blatantly throws out verisimilitude for the sake of presenting the same trite, cliche propagandized rehashed garbage to us over and over and over again.
I’ll take the realistic apocalypse movie that actually gets the little things right. The little things are what helps sell the big things, like, well, zombies.
I said 📢IT’S NOT REALLY FUN ESCAPISM WHEN IT BLATANTLY THROWS OUT VERISIMILITUDE FOR THE SAKE OF PRESENTING THE SAME TRITE, CLICHE, PROPAGANDIZED REHASHED GARBAGE TO US OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
Or anything practically realistic, because it’s not a good faith critical examination of a situation like that the way the books are. They’re a mish-mash of tropes and cliches corporations know will put ignorant NPC asses into seats to bilk money off of them. They don’t make people think about what they’re watching which is one of the most important uses of critical thinking, have no real world message, and if they do the messages are extremely negative, i.e. The Walking Dead advocating the “every man for himself” mentality that stops the working poor from working together.
I could go on for days about it and that’s literally the tip of the iceberg.
But you’re not interested in a meaningful debate, you’re angry I dare to criticize something you like and you were only asking because you are looking for holes you can dig through to convince yourself I’m wrong and thus feel better about ingesting mindless, logically frail shit that doesn’t stand up to scrutiny, so this talk can’t really happen. No talk can be had with you.
I don’t even like zombie films or games. You’re just being all high and mighty over nothing.
But yeah keep up with your cringe pseudo intellectual bullshit, so you can tell yourself everyone is a dumb mindless NPC and you’re the one true free thinker in this world.

Makes me appreciate The Road more cause everyone’s body in that movie SUUUUUCKED
That book had more mentions of the word “grey” than anything I have ever read. I couldn’t stomach watching the movie.
The movie, despite being unrelentingly bleak, actually isn’t quite as soul crushing as the book. At least it wasn’t for me.
Never watched the movie, but the book made me thoroughly fear a post apocalyptic society. Tlou or Twd looks like a visit to Disneyland in comparison.

Made me want to get back into Sons of the Forest. Now those are my people.

What about zombie films not showing periods is propaganda?
