Now if it actually came to having to deal with a zombie I would totally prefer the slow moving kind easier to deal with of course. In terms of movies I can totally appreciate both kinds. I think the concept expressed in the ones where living people are infected by something while they are alive and then downgrade into a living zombie it makes total sense that they are not slow. Yet, it makes no sense for a reanimated body to have super speed since there would be such degradtion going on with the body, being dead and all.
Even more so considering the frail nature of how the human body is constructed it would seem to me that many more zombies would be less. For example take the achilles tendon if that is gone running is a no go, take the big toe if that is gone center of balance is gone. There is a school of russian combat training that shows the very effectiveness of the cutting of weak points on the human body, a few simple cuts to the right area and the strongest go down.
I would think that due to the nature of the trauma a living person would be dealt by a zombie, the resultant zombie would be more than somewhat handicapped.
I also think that there would most definitely be more of a survivor mentality that would come forth from the living over the dead. I mean come on who is gonna actually start infighting when faced with the very real imminent thread of living dead?
I do not remember the movie, but it is the one where the little girl is at the bedroom door and the dude actually bends down to see whats wrong with her and gets his throat ripped out. I do not know about you, but, if I was the guy and that little girl was in my doorway looking like that there is no way I would go near it except for the clear purpose of dispatching it.
2 of my favourite zombie pictures
this one I love because it is such a statement on medication of children, or at least that is what I take it to be.
and of course not all zombies like brain food

Really, I would have to say the main thing I hate so much about almost every zombie movie is the way people screw up such a good thing and get everyone killed.
For me, I would absolutely have no problem flipping the kill switch on any other human being if a zombie world came to pass. Just take a look at the scene in zombieland where the dweeb takes out bill murray. I mean come on you know if someone is infected that they need to be either left in the dust or taken out.
Take a look at the father in the movie 28 days later who gets but 1 drop of blood in his eye. Even though he tells his daughter that he loves her as he is changing in very short order he will no longer be human. Thankfully the soldiers were there to dispatch him as I doubt the skinny guy or the 2 girls would have been able to overcome him or outrun him.
I thank God that a zombie world most probably is never gonna happen, but, if it ever did. I thank God that I am more than ready and trained to make a solid go at surviving.
but my brothers or sisters would be too hard I would probably leave them for someone else to have to deal with unless they were attacking my son or another sibling. I'm a fairly good shot but getting a head shot at a fast moving object........?? Not going to claim I'm that good
