Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 8705507" data-attributes="member: 18">I feel like maybe one of the reasons I'm very chill about all this change is that I became a curmudgeon at like, 20, so have like, long since passed through the "GET OFF MY LAWN!!!" phase.Like, the big curmudgeon-moment for me was zombies.I was "over" zombies by my very early 20s, having watched everything zombie-related then available and having become truly bored of them (most of it fairly ancient even then). Then, and only then, did the world suddenly decide zombies were cool again. So for the last 20+ years I've been putting up with awful new takes on zombies, from the dire The Walking Dead and its infinite spin-offs (yes both the comics and the TV show, which are pure uncut misanthropy to the point of unrealism even with the setting, unleashed by writers who have apparently never met a human) to World War Z (uggggghhhhhh no - such pandering) to Snyder's appalling version of Dawn of the Dead (which I actually hate less than a lot of most "modern zombie" stuff because at least it wasn't pandering). I really pissed and moaned about it for quite a few years, until I was north of 30 even. Then I had the same realization - I can just ignore this junk, and only come in and see if things have improved occasionally. I actually kind of enjoyed the recent Army of the Dead purely because it was so bonkers and not a repeat of earlier zombie takes. But if I'd been following closely I'd have long ago gone mad with annoyance at godawful reiterations of zombie nonsense.</blockquote>
