Chaps, is it a millennial thing to be obsessed with vampires and zombies?

I talked to my younger colleagues at work and they were all staring at me until one of them went: Wait...when were you born again? You're a millennial, aren't you?

And once I told them they made a face that said "ah yes, that explain EVERYTHING."

And now...to be really frank: I'm befuddled.

#i thought vampires were still the shit?#i fucking lovw vampires man #and Zombie movies too!#millenials #millennial culture #Zombies #vampires #generation #gen z

Seeing an ad for some zombie survival game made something click for me, about why the whole like, zombie apocalypse premise just doesn't click with me. (Aside from the gore and disturbing imagery I don't deal well with already.) Simply put, it feels like... dehumanization simulator, taken to a logical extreme. Those were people, but also not people, so there's no guilt in mowing them all down unflinchingly. It teaches paranoia, too, anyone around you could be hiding a bite and turn on you at any moment. The identity death is terrible to contemplate, but it's not contemplated, just used to make lethal force unquestionably justified, there's no point in trying to save them and the idea is almost never brought up to begin with. The world is out to get you, and other humans (they are people shaped, but not people) are the enemy.

#not a reblog #zombies #also IIRC it started as a metaphor for communism?#and was big in B-movies during the red scare #so there's a political aspect to it too #like that wasnt where they started I think?#but its where they got codified

Avatar the last airbender vs a zombie apocalypse

Imagine an au where pentapox is a real illness that turns you into a zombie. Sokka finds a way to lure all the infected people to the same spot. Toph and Aang quarantine them in mere seconds by bending walls around them. Katara uses the Spirit Water to heal everyone. This is a B-plot at most. The A-plot is about Momo being kidnapped by a baby and Appa’s moral dilemma on whether he is allowed to harm a baby in order to save his friend. The C-plot is Zuko and Mai babysitting the lemur kidnapper.

#the gaang vs #iroh’s two lotus tiles #I have never seen a zombie movie #like ever #so maybe I’m underestimating zombies #but I believe the gaang is way too competent for them

The Rob Zombie Halloween movies are not exactly good, but they have this little chestnut of an idea that's intriguing.

The original two Halloween movies hinge on the core premise that Michael Meyers is a kind of empty vessel which embodies evil. You have to buy into the idea a little, because if you don't, not only do the movies not work as well, but also the character of Dr. Loomis comes of as an unhinged, abusive monster of a doctor. Which feels like something Rob Zombie intentionally wanted his version to consider. Ultimately the movies are not successful, likely in some measure through studio interference, but this explains a good deal of decisions which put Zombie's Halloween at loggerheads with the original movies and the fandom.

The thing about Rob Zombie is that his fans are his worst critics, in that they don't want him to make anything except a carbon copy of House of 1000 Corpses or Devil's Rejects, and when he tries to do more interesting (and in the case of Lords of Salem, significantly better) movies, they piss all over themselves in outrage. When you combine his unusual take on Halloween with a stylistic departure as well, the movies has no chance.

The funny thing is, in retrospect, Zombie's changes are actually the better choice compared to the slavishly accurate recent Halloweens, or any of the sequels following Halloween 2. He gave Michael Meyers a voice, and a more complex history, and a human connection, and all these details which fans mostly hated, but which repositioned Michael from hollow monster to a person who was deeply failed by the world. And the thing of it is, there's nothing left to explore after Halloween 2, which means the only place to go if you want to be interesting about the character is a radically different direction.

That's what Rob Zombie did, his version wasn't supposed to be scary as a remorseless killing machine, but scary as someone who was formed into a terrible creature by the world deciding for him that he is a monster. You can see this most of all with how Malcolm McDowell portrays his version of Loomis as self centered, malicious, and incompetent by varying degrees. It's stating as loudly as possible to the audience hey, this person is terrible at helping people, he is awful and his characterization of Michael Meyers as "evil" is self serving and horrible. It's meant to make the audience step back and realize, no matter how terrible the things Michael does, he's a child and locking him up for his entire life is a fucked up thing to do.

Now, ultimately the films are a mess, and this little idea doesn't really hold together or develop. I believe it's intentional still, but winds up being incompatible with what, I assume through studio pressure, is a movie too close to the original Halloween to make room for a different approach. I couldn't necessarily recommend watching them, but as failures they're still interesting.

#rob zombie #halloween #also sidebar but i think another common mistake is making Michael too macho #recent versions and Zombies version try to make him huge and hulking and have him show off his physical strength #i think its a mistake because Michael is the opposite of macho and it takes away from his uniqueness if he's like a pro wrestler #Zombies movies probably would have worked better with a smaller and thinner Michael #he is meant to be a creeper not a brute

i also think the take that leo’s post-movie character shift long term is to distance himself and ~hold himself separate~ from his brothers and treat them a little differently and train all the time etc simply Doesn’t Track btw

doing it as a major initial overcorrection bc of guilt and having to be like intervened with, i can see happening, and overall getting better at buckling down/communicating w his team for sure yeah

but like the idea that that is a change he makes to himself forever going forward (especially if it means his brothers/april not clocking it and calling him out on that nonsense, especially especially if it involves splinter noticing it and ENCOURAGING HIM to keep holding himself apart like that’s so not rise splinter at all) just does not feel right

for me it undermines the core statements that the series and movie are going for: you are not alone, we do it together, he hasn’t seen what we can do when we work together, this isn’t about you (i think this one in particular bc what is withdrawing from your loved ones and holding yourself in a different category bc Must Be Leaderly if not making things about yourself just in a different way to how you were doing it before?)
