Top Comments of this video!! :3
Fun fact:
The audiobook for World War Z is read by a full cast of Hollywood actors and the soldier that survived Yonkers was read by Mark Hamill and he completely nails it. Yonkers really is one of the best chapters because, like you mentioned in the video, itās conventional soldiers starting out ok against the zombies, but then you start to see how conventional problems start to cause the soldiers to fumble such as running out of ammo, the uselessness of air strikes, wasted and energy time digging fighting holes.
Meanwhile movie like āhehe zombies that make pyramids go burrrrā which ironically enough, worked better in the world war z video game than it did the actual movie.

BTW, for anyone still sleeping on the book. Max Brook spent a long time researching everything from disaster responses to pandemic planning to just regular household budgeting when planning his book. This lead to 1) his prediction of how the zombie plague originated and grew uncontrollably being scarily similar to the Covid 19 pandemic that came much later, and 2) a story written as if it's a collection of interviews from people all around the world of different backgrounds that each tell their story according to their experiences and perspectives. All in all, it's one of the most immersive piece of fiction you'll ever read.

I actually saw the movie first as a kid, and ended up getting the book from the library. I thought the movie was ok, but was absolutely addicted to each chapter of the book. I even bought a red flashlight because of the interview with the military. I could imagine, however, the studio not being thrilled after reading the part where the rich CEO-type got torn to shreds after the poorer survivors banded together

I think the biggest flashbang was Max Brooks writing 3 fucking Minecraft books.
Like. 3 of them. Not even just 1 - a trilogy of Minecraft novels.
Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z - two of the biggest brain zombie books from that era.
Goes on to write sanctioned Minecraft fanfics.
What the hell

And then the World War Z video game came out recently and was honestly a REALLY fun hoard shooter. ... And now John Carpenter came out of a retirement full of gaming to make his own hoard shooter with the devs of the World War Z game, and it's got like, vehicles? This is the last thing I ever expected to come out of the World War Z name, but I am 100% on board.

The single funniest moment in cinematic history occurred with this film:
The one (1) doctor they brought along to investigate South Korea's Patient Zero to try to find a cure needed to die so they couldn't get the answer so easily.
To kill him off, he slipped and fell on the ramp of the C-130 and accidentally shot himself in the head with his own service pistol.

If you want a zombie show that feels like a real large-scale conflict, I'd recommend Kingdom (mostly season 1). The main drawback for English speakers is that it's all in Korean, but it's a very cool premise where the zombies sleep during the day (appearing dead) and hunt at night, are extremely fast but uncoordinated and dumb, and it takes place in the 14-1500s so there are select few muskets and cannons available and most fighting has to be done hand-to-hand or with arrows. The outbreak could've been contained, but insider corruption and misunderstandings about how the zombies actually behave ultimately turns it into a catastrophe. This all culminates in the end of season 1 with a very unexpected but well-built twist.
I stopped watching halfway through season 2 because something just felt off about it, but season 1 is really good
