The biggest criticism I see of (Hollywood) zombie movies is how inept the military is and that zombies shouldn't be a world-ending threat.

I see the trailer turned some of those criticisms upside down.

• The zombies share a collective intelligence, allowing them to exchange all sensory data with one another in real time.
• It's implied that they're becoming smarter over time.
• The pathogen, or slime mold, can cross species, so the vector isn't limited to the human population. It could potentially spread to other species that the government can't actively monitor, such as rats or even insects.
• The soldiers sent into the quarantine zone looked calm and professional. It reminded me a lot of the military action sequences in another Korean series, All of Us Are Dead.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4LaVLItrKc
• It looks like a large force of soldiers was sent into the building, not just two or three guys with guns.
• You see soldiers taking down dozens of infected humans and monkeys, and the trailer suggests that, at some point, they've secured enough of the building for the government to feel confident enough to send in civilian researchers or inspectors wearing bright orange hazmat suits.

It looks like there's going to be a tactically sound tug-of-war between the zombies and the soldiers. The soldiers cut through the swarms like a hot knife through butter until the zombies get smarter and adapt or do something unexpected, and then the cycle repeats.

Ryan from The Strangers: Chapter 1 is so inept.

First, he doesn’t believe Maya when she says there is a masked stranger inside the house.

Second, he mistakenly shoots and kills the Airbnb owner. Even if you aren’t a trained shooter, I thought everyone knew you don’t pull the trigger until you can identify the target, unless you are caught completely by surprise.

Third, he holds one of the masked strangers at gunpoint, correctly identifies the target, and still doesn’t pull the trigger when he has the chance. WTF? This guy has everything backwards.

----------------------------------------------

Next is Keith from Barbarian (2022). Besides being played by the same actor who played Pennywise in It, this character is completely devoid of imagination.

Tess is hysterical, with tears running down her face, as she tries to warn him that there is a room with a bed and a video camera in the basement. He dismisses it and says a lot of basements have beds and video cameras. Tess is obviously in a state of emotional shock and trauma, and most normal people in that situation would have correctly understood that she was talking about a r*pe room, not storage.

I don't understand how any normal person could see Tess in a state of panic and think she just saw a storage closet.

My only explanation is that he was so devoid of imagination that he couldn’t put two and two together. It’s too bad his lack of imaginative thinking got him killed and got Tess imprisoned.

Seemed awfully convenient. And we know they never tried to attack before, because the Soviet soldier that killed the baby T Rex seemed surprised to see a dinosaur.

In Critters 4, when the drug addict character got excited that there was a pharmacy on board the space station, like it was some kind of candy store, I was really confused as a young child.

To me, pharmacies and medicine were linked to yucky things. I think I figured that medicine in the future must have tasted much better, like candy or ice cream. I didn’t realize until later that some people get addicted to prescription drugs.

In the original Star Wars trilogy, I thought the human characters were androids because Luke Skywalker had his hand replaced with a mechanical one, and the Darth Vader figure he destroyed on Dagobah was a machine too.

What confused you as a child?

Instead of the Valentine Bros attacking the manor its Buffy and her Slayer Army from the tv show attacking the Manor.

They want to kill all the guards and manor staff and stake Alucard.

Alucard is excited to meet the slayers.

Who wins?

Granted, they weren’t mute background characters and still took active developments in Bond's training (sparring Nash, and poisoning Kristina), and Bond does have friendly banter with them in-game, but I wish they had been developed as much as Cressida and Monroe.

It's a small class afterall. It should be more tightnit on screen.

I was thinking there is a whole niche of world-class fighters in boxing, kickboxing, and MMA tournaments who have never killed anyone and have no interest in killing anyone.

If the Yautja only hunted killers, they would miss out on glorious fights with elite fighters. Does Yautja culture or society allow them to kidnap professional fighters from Earth, fight them under tournament rules, and then promptly return them home?

He provided her with an EM weapon, a temporary armed escort, a large mulitmillion dollar cargo plane burning hundreds of thousands of dollars of jet fuel, and another giant refueling plane to pour an additional hundreds of thousands of dollars of jet fuel into their plane to keep them flying.

That is extreme for anyone.

Yet the movie never delved into why he took such extremes to help her.

20 UNSC Marines with their standard personal firearms like rifles and pistols vs 20 T800s with standard phased plasma rifles.

They start off 600 meters away from each other on a flat terrain.

Who wins?

The Krenim Time Ship Captain isolates the origin point/homeworld of the Borg Collective and wants to erase it from the timeline.

The Borg lose their shit and want to throw everything possible to stop the Time Ship from erasing them from existence.

Who wins?

If Gene Roddenberry wanted to prove that reason triumphs over superstition, why didn’t he use deities or prophets from active religions instead of dead religions and old mythologies? Is he stupid?

Instead of having Kirk fistfight Apollo, he should have had him bitchslapping Jesus Christ and vaporizing holy books with a phaser. /S
