The Solanum Virus | WORLD WAR Z | Explored

[@bobbilly7499]

The thing that bothered me the most about the movie was the zombies avoiding the sick but at the same time happily throwing themselves off skyscrapers, why didn't they just trample the sick instead of parting like the red sea to Mosses?

[@keiichi8191]

Or why do they even care about a sick host? Their hosts can keep going even riddled with dozens of bullet holes and limbs hacked off. Is someone having gonorrhea really going to be a concern for it?

[@hrikissenpai7369]

It is something about the virus not wanting to contract another virus that could destroy its host. No idea about the cancer though. Maybe the virus sees cancer as a spreadable disease too.

[@peedub0322]

Think of the infected as an infected cell in a body; and the sick person as a separate virus in a body. Its going to avoid that other virus for survival. Those infected weren't thinking, they were looking to spread to other normal "cells" instinctively.

Case in point: there aren’t nearly as many diseases that originated in the Americas compared to ones that originated in Europe, Asia, etc, solely because the people living there before the 1600s did not have much contact with animals, making it harder to transmit diseases from animals to humans. That’s why so many of the diseases that affected people in the U.S in the 1900s were originally brought to the U.S by European immigrants.

It really deserves a Contagion style movie, where everything about fighting the virus is dissected and the crucial and interesting details are shown. The best part about its depiction of multiple narratives is you get to see the effects outside of one individual, you get to see the doctor treating "Patient Zero" and the first incidents that grabbed the globes attention, to the very end showing how the post zombie war world is very much different. Heck there's even a guy who tells his story from on the ISS, like how could the movie not use that-

I believe that the best way this kind of movies to be accurately and lively depicted, would be to become animated like the Resident Evil animated movies. No drama between actors aging or contract scuffles, just pure animated action.

[@neonredhead]

I bet you would love to hear that they made a game based on the movie, and it has more world building, lore, characters and even different varieties of those infected by the virus. Maybe you can do a part 2 to this based around the game. And they recently updated the game that has more characters and two new locations as far as I know.

[@marizadeleon9553]

But you have to understand that the reason the sequel was cancelled since 2019 is because the chinese government banned any movies featuring zombies, ghosts and other monsters which instead caused paramount pictures to instead never released a sequel to world war z movie.

In the Books, the Zombies weren't moving "fast" or do I remember it wrongly? Because, I think to remember the "Account" which described why it was a special challenge to fight those "Slowly moving Waves which regardless of the circumstances simple advanced" which caused, at first, the Soldier to panic and so on.

[@MsDragonbal776]

Your right, which is another reason why I can't understand why people keep praising the book over the movie. Nobody cares about slow moving zombies. You can just walk around them like they do in the walking dead. The whole idea just completely eliminates any sense of fear

[@DaroriDerEinzige]

@@MsDragonbal776 The Book was pretty good and I personally enjoyed it more than the Movie. And the issue with "Slow Movin' Zombies" is kinda more complicated because they don't need sleep, aren't stopped by injuries and weren't even stopped by the lack of oxygen. It's simple different. Actually, something which approaches slowly gives a whole different vibe. Which can cause panic. I mean, livin' Dead. Not really something people are used to.

@@HELLO_KORO nope. it hasn't been identified where it came from. there are 2 main theories, from Canada or from China. also China has been a cesspool of viruses as it has high urban density since ancient times, allowing spreading of viruses to be accelerated. Trade routes to and from China also had a gigantic effect, but because of the world basically needing china for its coveted resources, it used to be a need. now it's a nuisance and dangerous

Hey just finished watching The Invasion (2007) could you do a video on that. Thx. Love your videos.

I'd never read nothing on this, so I assumed it was a virus that took over the brain, and worked kinda like rabies. That it's an undead virus kinda kills it for me. That said, I still enjoyed the movie, and was hoping for more. I'm happy they left the undead crap out of it. Considering a rabies-like virus is actually possible, would be nice to see a movie, or tv spin like that.

[@japonte173]

or ya know, just read the book which is a million times better than the movie. only thing that made the movie fun to watch was that the zombies were full break neck speed virus transmitters never slowing or stopping for anything. which they had to do to grab your attention.
