Season 1 Episode 5, "Endure and Survive"
20 years after a pandemic has radically changed known civilization, infected humans run wild and survivors are killing each other for food, weapons; whatever they can get their hands on.

I love how the bloater just doesn’t even bother trying to infect its victim it just straight up kills you

Bold strategy on the part of the fungus, but it does allow the weaker infected to infect people.

[@aribounty327]

​@@rosesweetcharlotte can't the fungus also grow from corpses? So the bloater killing people still helps the fungus spread

[@8301TheJMan]

It's actualy a perfect demonstration of how emotion can totally override a human being's survival instinct - especially when your talking about people's need to revenge/vengeance. Another classic example is Deniro's character at the end of Michael Mann's "Heat", where (spoiler warning), he was scot free with with a bunch of cash and what was shaping up to be the love of his life , but when provided the choice to save himself and have a long and happy life with so much money that he'd be set for life, or he could risk EVERYTHING by going back for revenge instead. And sadly he chose the latter . Similar to the chick in this scene.

I think if they had trained for an event like this (unlikely, I know), they could have figured out how to deal with the infected. I mean, it's not like this kind of event was off the books. FEDRA and the KC Resistance knew how cordyceps worked, and that the federalists pushed the infected underground and hadn't actually killed them. They had the option to brainstorm ideas for this kind of thing happening during operations like: sounding a retreat, suppressing while others reloaded, carrying explosives to chuck into the hole, always having someone ready to drive the cars away, leaving a reserve force in the QZ, simply backing away from the damned hole for more space! Honestly, these rebels are real fucking stupid. Imagine using your entire damned army to hunt down just one man and a kid when you've already dealt with most of the FEDRA loyalists!

[@mutantmaster1]

Like how this ties into my two favorite headcannons on the infected: 1.The cordyceps removes the natural mental limiters we have in our brain. Aka, when you preform an action like a bicep curl, you aren't using your full strength to do it, partly because of the energy cost, and partly because if you used your full energy all the time, you'd snap bones or tear muscles. The fungus in their brains doesn't care, it just wants it's puppet to find food and new hosts, so everyone besides Runners and wall units are maxed out all the time, which is why kid sized units can pin an adult And 2 Bloaters are formed from big people, either in height or girth, that also had enough food when they were growing, either from victims or other humans hooked up to a cordyceps network, that meant it keeps the cordyceps fed enough to lean to a tank form instead of a wall form

[@theNoobmaster69]

Love the first theory. But bloaters can be anyone infected. The transformation takes years and years. That's why they're rarer. It explains it better in the game.

This is not true, because as you see the bloater is MASSIVE! Most infected die by either getting killed or by starvation before ever reaching this stage.

[@connerthewubbzler1062]

That would be an interesting aspect, but I feel like it also dwindles the urgency of a cure.

[@zacharyjackson1829]

this sounds like mostly nonsense. i'm pretty sure they just decided to focus more on the human elements of the series since the infected are better suited for the action-packed video game.

[@francescacastronovo647]

@@connerthewubbzler1062 well days gone's infecteds can't just infect people, so the cult basically believes that God sent the "freakers" (actually name:furiosi) to eradicate every "imperfect" human on earth to make the world a better place. So they just act like zombies to make God understand that they're in his side, wich means that they also slaughter people and send hordes to destroy camps. Days Gone is extremely underrated, it has an amazing voice acting, especially in Italian where the caratchers just feel like real people having real conversations, that's why this cult having beef with the protagonist in particular for killing hordes (since zombies can't multiply in any way, once they kill them all the world is safe) gives this effect that you really feel hunted

Yeah - i thought there was plenty of zombie shit in the first two episodes, and due to the subject matter of what went on in episodes 3 and 4, it made sense that there wasn't that much, and then of course this scene - (which is imo the single greatest action scene in zombie movie/tv-show history). After this episode though, due to the story and everything else being to great, i legit didn't even notice that there hadn't been much zombie shit, (outside of the mall flashback scene and then the finale's opening scene with Ellie's mom), until a friend of mine complained about the lack of zombie shit. I def angry there shoulda been a bit more, but as i stated earlier - everything else was so effin brilliant in this series that it didn't remotely diminish how much i enjoyed this show.

I hate how they made FEDRA even more incompetent than they were in the game. In the game, 20 years later we are introduced to FEDRA as the dudes in charge of keeping people safe at the cost of them being authoritian and executing anyone that is either infected or not compliant. Not only do they disappear after the first part of the game but in last of us 2 you see other groups of people like the Wolves overthrowing the FEDRA. The explanation for that sinkhole is that in the ground there are utility tunnels, AND FOR SOME REASON FEDRA decided that the best course of option is to TRAP every single infected person in those tunnels, festering for months upon months and then we the audience are supposed to be surprised about why there is an entire horde of infected charging at the rebels.
