Recently, there seems to have been a lot of conversation around “The Apocalypse.” But not everyone expects the same apocalypse. Sometimes it’s a giant meteor, other times it’s an uncountable number of natural disasters. But one that seems to garner the most intrigue is zombies. And whether they’re undead, fungal, brain-hungry, bloodthirsty, fast, or slow - zombies are often a result, or reason, behind an apocalypse. So it’s only natural that many movies, shows, games, and comics have stories about zombies, including these two shows, The Last of Us and The Walking Dead.
The Last of Us (2:31) - When an unknown fungal infection causes some people to begin eating others, Joel, his daughter Sarah, and his brother Tommy, try to get as far away as possible. But all the chaos of an ensuing pandemic leads to Sarah being shot and Tommy and Joel being separated. 20 years later, the world has had to adapt to life with this fungal virus. And now, a mysterious young girl who seems to be immune to the virus may be humanity’s last hope.
The Walking Dead (43:18) - Rick Grimes is just a deputy sheriff doing his job until he gets into a bad accident. Fading in and out of the ensuing coma, he sees some of his friends and loved ones coming to visit. That is, until he wakes up, and there doesn’t seem to be anyone around. A little investigating proves this to be the case, but something else still seems off. Finally finding some other people to talk to, Rick quickly learns the unfortunate fate that has befallen humanity and must now learn to survive in an entirely new society.
