DUMBEST Survivor Decisions in Zombie Apocalypses!

[@fuinn9876]

What did you learn from that situation?

[@xeldrine66]

I don't know if it's good or bad that you can make mistakes like that in video games. Good because you learn to prioritize options that protect you before style and bad because you don't get the you only have one shot to survive. In any case, zombies aren't real and will stay dead. And the lesson was: high speed threat plus explosives = a bad time.

I think the thing that ruins Army of the Dead the most is the daughter. After they get to the vault, everything that goes wrong after that is solely her fault.

One thing about the mall entrance groups in Dead rising I will always question is why most of the folk decide to stay on the ground floor, when the only exit from that area is the staircase to the upper floor right next to the mall entrance as the shutters are blocking access to the rest of the Entrance Plaza on ground floor, and once the horde of zombies get in, they overrun the stairs boxing the survivors in.

[@fueradelmeta]

To address anyone skeptical about surviving indefinitely inside a mall, here's a more detailed explanation: I used to work in a small supply warehouse, and I can provide insight into how much food could realistically sustain a group over an extended period. In the warehouse, we received shipments every few days: around 5-6 boxes of canned goods (40kg each), plus about 250kg of grains (rice, beans, corn, lentils) each week, and an additional 50kg of fresh fruits and vegetables (which spoil quickly). For this example, let's assume we have a single delivery of each item at the time of an apocalypse. 250kg of grains = approximately 325,000 calories (mostly carbohydrates) 200kg of canned food = estimating half as protein/fat, about 100kg or 400,000 calories (higher if in oil) 50kg of fruits/veggies = roughly 6,000 calories before spoilage That gives us a total of around 731,000 calories, providing a relatively balanced diet. Assuming a daily intake of 2,000 calories per person (enough for most people), this supply would last a single person for about 365 days. Of course, this hinges on proper storage (keeping bugs out of grains, ensuring cans remain sealed). So, food-wise, survival for a year inside the mall is possible. The Water Problem: The bigger issue is access to clean water. In my warehouse job, we had about 75 liters (three large water cooler bottles). Once the electricity goes out, water stops running from the taps, meaning reliance on stored water. The human body needs about 2 liters of water per day, so the warehouse stock would last only about a month. After that, you'd need to start recycling urine, ideally from day one, to make the water last longer. Rules for Survival: No leaving the warehouse/mall. No magical tools/materials-only what's inside the building. Assume no external threats for the scenario. Preserving Food: The first priority would be preserving the fresh fruits and vegetables. This means using salt, vinegar, or sugar (all commonly found in food storage) to prevent spoilage. Without these, the perishables are a lost cause. Additionally, saving seeds from fruits and veggies (especially cucumbers and tomatoes) could provide a renewable food source. If there's any soil available (even broken-up floor tiles could provide access to dirt), you could attempt to grow plants indoors. Breaking through the roof would be necessary to allow sunlight in for the crops. Filtering urine for plant irrigation could be done using cloth and crushed minerals like charcoal or rocks. If you can last 30 days, you might have cucumbers. If you make it to 3 months, you could have tomatoes. By this point, rats and birds will inevitably become a food source, and creating traps will be essential for catching them. Why Malls Are Better: A U.S. supermarket, by comparison, has at least 100 times the food supply of my small warehouse. This means 100 people could potentially survive for a year inside a well-stocked mall, assuming a stable water supply. Rainwater collection becomes essential here. Another major hazard is rat bites, which pose a high risk of disease like rabies (far worse than any zombie scenario since it's nearly a guaranteed death sentence without treatment). In conclusion, with proper planning, preserving food, planting crops, collecting rainwater, and avoiding dangerous animals, it's entirely feasible for a group of people to live indefinitely inside a mall, provided it's well-stocked and secure.

[@justinlast2lastharder749]

You wouldn't need to go through anywhere near that though. Malls have Food Courts. Hello all the Food, Soda, and means of cooking it you could want. Water still flows without Power by the way. You'd have everything that was pressurized on that Main still working. It would last for a few months with nobody else using Water on that branch of Water Lines. Natural Gas would also be there for awhile as well. This is assuming the Mall doesn't have an Emergency Supply Tank of Water and Natural Gas, which it very well might.

Military deciding to launch random nukes at nothing just to cause an EMP which doesn't help against zombies at all. Kingdom - It's generally nobles that were acting dumb, but a noble woman bringing her zombified son on board of a safe boat and then freeing him at night was peak stupidity. Gakkou Gurashi - you would expect the hallucinating kids would make dumb decisions. But no, they were actually really smart in their choices most of the times.

About the stupid choice in 28 days later, I believe it's explained in the movie that they're keeping the infected soldier tied up to see if the zombies can starve to death and use him as a reference point to see "how long" they have to outlast the virus.

Here are a few other ideas: Could Leon survive The Evil Within? Could Kratos survive The Doom series? Could Doomguy survive God of war? Could Batman survive Silent Hill?

[@1ProAssassin]

It's an interesting idea but it feels like it's super subjective like: Could Leon survive The Evil Within? Depends on plot armour, luck, etc. There's a decent chance since he has dealt with super natural beings. Could Kratos survive The Doom series? What do you consider surviving? If he ignores the conflict the world ends. If he fights in the conflict, he'd be fighting for an unknown but insane amount of time. I don't think Kratos has whatever mental fortitude/drive to slaughter that Doom guy does anymore. He's not heading towards the end goal. That and navigating as Kratos would be a nightmare, since he can't jump like Doom Guy does and doesn't have that chosen one thingy. Then you get into the ending boss fight where your idea turns into power scaling lol. So Kratos will likely live but he'd just be alone, unless loneliness destroys Gods. I don't think he reaches the end of the games though because he has no drive to. Could Doomguy survive God of war? Depends on how much you think God of War magic effects him. Everything else he can handle as well if not better than Kratos. Could Batman survive Silent Hill? Plot armour I guess. Depends on how restricted he gets. If everything remains the same as the games except the player character is far stronger/faster/solves everything like you have a guide then it's easy.

Why does everyone misunderstand this plot point in Dawn of the Dead? Yes, they were planning to leave at some point - but not soon. They state this in the movie, so I'm not sure why everyone missed it. The whole reason they were doing snack runs to Andy was because they weren't ready to leave yet. Otherwise they wouldn't have bothered sending him food. The film was very clearly setting this up as the group's long term plan, once they needed to leave the mall. The reason they left when they did was because a couple of characters made dumb decisions in a row, causing the entire mall to be compromised. They literally could not stay, because there were zombies pouring into the mall and they couldn't stop it. If people were criticising the dumb decisions that led to them needing to abandon the mall, I would understand. Because that is accurate. But to suggest they were abandoning a really good thing isn't accurate. That's not what happened in the movie. They were quite literally running for their lives. Also r.e. Shaun of the Dead: Friendly reminder to Americans that the rest of the world does not allow random citizens to buy guns like they're lollipops, so the point about the rifle is moot. There wouldn't have been guns anywhere they went. Which is probably good, because guns require ammo, which would not be easy to find if everyone was looking for it. If you over rely on guns in an apocalypse, you're going to die.

Good video, but you should have included Train to Busan where they decide to “rescue” the people locked in the perfectly safe, secure bathroom and drag them through multiple train cars full of zombies for no reason and then it leads to almost everyone on the train dying when they try to get back into the front train car full of uninfected people and the woman stupidly chooses to throw the door open and let all the zombies in because she’s mad the other survivors didn’t want to let in people who could be infected

As far as the military moving people back into Britain in 28 weeks later, I feel like the way it went was this: The president promised the Britain refugees that he'd get them back into their homes (and out of his American supporters way) as quickly as possible, the military probably fought against this decision, but seeing as his reelection was coming up, he wouldn't hear any of it and pushed to send people back anyways. That's at least how I could see the same thing happening in real life.

[@shotguntony4730]

I don’t think it was that stupid for the survivors to decide to leave the ski lodge in Black Summer. The place was WAY too big to secure with all the windows and there were only 3 of them. Plus they knew that there were several hostile survivor groups probably relatively close by. However they were still dumb to leave right at that moment. Why not wait until morning? Why not take more supplies with you? Why take the other guy with you when he clearly didn’t want to go? Basically I still think it’s dumb just for different reasons.

[@SOULEATERHILLS]

the reason why they kept Mallard alive because they were seeing how long it takes for them starve out before death, remember the Rage virus in the 28 series, the infected are still humans but just, well infected with a pathogen so they can starve, they state this in the movie, the main character actually does ask why, they explain why, starvation

In an older, simple mmo that's been in maintinence mode for years now, called Dead Maze, there's a decent story that shares an individual who is both an idiot and mildly understandable. There's a specific food warehouse of some sort that had a story about a pair of survivors who found the place fully stocked with all the food they could ever need for months. One of them had, previously, been part of a group that had severely struggled with food in the past, so he was big on not wasting food. When they decided that they had to leave due to it no longer being safe, the food guy packed as much as he could, and whatever he couldn't fit, he just started eating. He ate till he kill himself from overeating. The other guy left a note explaining the story in the place that you can read if you want if you happen to come across it.

Dead Rising 2: The initial military rescue attempt. For starters, after 3 days of waiting, the military only sends a squad of a dozen or so soldiers to fight a city's worth of zombies? While they make it clear that Dwight and his team are professional zombie hunters, and it shows at first, the fact that these pros are so carefree about standing 10 feet from a zombie, where even a single careless bite means game over, not only seems odd, but is a complete lack of discipline from the military. Then, after the gas starts and the zombies begin to change, rather than pull back his men to reform lines and reassess their approach, Dwight goes for the zero IQ play of standing there and watching his team get picked off one by one (one of whom even got a team kill by blind firing in the fog) before finally deciding to run back to the hummer and drive away only after everyone else got eaten. Dead Rising 3: Letting Diego keep the plane keys. As early as meeting Diego, it is very clear that this man is on a razor's edge from completely snapping. Nick's group agrees on the plan to escape via a mostly broken plane that just needs to be repaired, which Diego starts out with the keys to.

The stupidest decision in the zombie industry is that there's thousands of zombie movies, yet not ONE of the production teams have thought of a chaotic good kind of man who protects himself fully with a nice, thick suit, 2 pairs of pants, and a medieval suit of armor he stole at a museum he was at when the outbreak occurred, who then wanders the roads with a sword, and a backpack full of provisions, looking for the next run down town of zombies, supplies, and survivors caught in the middle. Not for the supplies, but to cure the disease, one amputation at a time. Imagine if in the next season of the walking dead or whatever's in now, the survivors were trapped in a building in New York City, near the edge of town, trying to come up with a plan to get *somewhere* safer, when just as they lose hope, man in a suit of armor he painted in a dark green, with a sword on his back, screams " HEY! YOU! UNDEAD ZOMBIE FFFFFUCKARONS! COME GET SOME! CAUSE *GOD* KNOW'S IM GETTING SOME OF *YOU!* "and then starts beating the shit out of zombies with his bare hands. And when the survivors thank him from the 5th story of a building, he yells back " THERE'S *PEOPLE* HERE? WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE *DOING* AT *NEW YORK?* NEW YORK'S *MY* HOARDE! *GET YOUR OWN!* "

[@DH-xw6jp]

You don't want to grab a set of random plate armor from a museum, the likelihood of it fitting you is next to zero. In a properly fitted suit of armor you can do cartwheels, but an ill fitted suit can hurt you just walking around in it. You would be better off grabbing chainmail (it wouldn't be as comfortable as a well fitted plate suit, but better than an unfitted one) or even just taking some overalls and covering it in a couple layers of duct tape... But that will lead to over heating very easily because duct tape doesn't breathe. Synthetic biker gear is probably the best bet.

[@GunSpyEnthusiast]

@@DH-xw6jp A man who's first thought in a zombie apocalypse was to steal a suit of armor and get slashing probably will tolerate the suit feeling like a suit of metal duck taped to their limbs. Plus, after a couple of hours of the infection, between the crazy people shooting everything (which'd probably be a problem depending on the effectiveness of the armor against the bullet) and the zombies, there would be enough clothing around to theoretically just put on more clothes until the suit fits well enough. In other words, you're probably right but it'd probably do. plus, there might be a couple of suits of armor or more depending on the museum, and you'd only need to luck out with one of them, so it'd be plausible. Unlikely, but plausible.

@@GunSpyEnthusiast I'm not saying they would just be uncomfortable, I am saying it can actually cause physical injury, and it isn't just an issue of padding, it is the actual shape of the metal plates not being compatible with your body's shape. That is also assuming you even have a museum with armor within a 100 miles of you. Like I said, it would be a lot more feasible to simply add duct tape reinforcement to a set of mechanic's overalls.

How else was (Chandler) Carl going to college? He had to die somehow because leaving his dad would not be believable. lol

You could've described the "incident" in black summer better than that. It was a mercy killing requested by a trusted travel companion.

In the remake of Night of the Living Dead where the girl tries to blast off the padlock to a gas pump using a shotgun. That takes the cake for me. While not a zombie series. in Game of Thrones when the white walkers are attacking Winterfell. Whose bright idea was it to store all the people who couldn't fight in the cemetery against an enemy that can raise the dead?
