Marvel Zombies Forum

Uhm, well, since it's a different Marvel Universe, maybe the physics of their powers are different. Isn't Captain America called Colonel America there? That could also explain the continuity stuff. And maybe the zombie infection is just too much for Wolvie and Deadpool's healing factor. They're not indestructable.

Even Ghost Rider was a zombie. And Howard the Duck.

Among the dozen things that don't make sense to me about Marvel Zombies is why the zombies just nibble on other super-humans while they entirely consume normal people.

And I don't get why normal civilians don't get infected, but normal heroes/villains do.

Despite the hunger, why didn't any of them try to cure themselves? Zombie-Reed can dedicate himself to building a cross-dimensional portal, but he can't cure everyone? If not to cure himself, then at least so him and the other zombie-FF could cure and eat the other zombies.

Why would all the zombies heroes be so ready, willing, and able to massacre every living thing on Earth? Why didn't any of them try to fight it? Why didn't any of them try to stop each other after getting infected? It was basically "I have to stop you zombie bastards no matter what! ::gets bit:: oh, ok."

Why were all of the zombies still in one piece after Magneto dropped a barrage of exploding cars on them? Zombie-Hulk 'n the other heavy-weights I could understand coming out variably intact, but the others?

And how is it that everyone except the Hulk broke their teeth trying to bite the Silver Surfer, but they were able to eat him just fine later?

Speaking of eating the Silver Surfer... how do you physically consume adamantium-like skin and energy?

Why were the zombie-FF so concerned about getting the other zombies into the Ultimate universe?

What happened to zombie-Sentry?

And where is the Living Tribunal in all of this? While he'd likely allow the virus to be self-contained on one world, the virus spreading from one reality to another or the existance of the zombie-galacti are things he'd never allow to happen. And as I said, he exists in every reality simultaneously... he doesn't have alternate-reality selves, he literally exists in every reality at once. And like all the cosmic gods, he's aware of everything that happens in the universe.

Or if not the Living Tribunal, then what of Eternity or Death? The virus would create an imbalance of life and death in the universe, they wouldn't like that. And just like Living Tribunal, they too exist in every reality simultaneously.

The Cosmic hierarchy goes: One Above All > Living Tribunal > Eternity/Death/fully-fed Galactus > Lord Chaos/Master Order/Mistress Love/Sire Hate > Cosmic Cubes/Celestials/Watchers > Heralds/Phoenix Force/Enigma Force > Skyfathers > Other Gods. ::Note:: There's more, but I'm not listing everyone! lol.

Well Ultimate Thing did knock out zombie-Hulk with one punch, and Ultimate Doom was able to rip off zombie-Thing's arm, so those may prove that there were some power differences... or just bad writing. Silver Surfer didn't appear any weaker. He easily withstood a blow from zombie-Thor, and zombie-Wolverine couldn't cut him with his adamantium claws.

And yeah, maybe the healing factor's couldn't protect them from the virus since it seems to be magic-based.

MZ was okay, I just found it kind of ludicrous.

What I want to know is, where's Uatu during all this? That guy's the worst Watcher ever. He'd break his vow of only observing to pimp Tony Stark's ride if he could, yet he couldn't be bothered to help out the earth from getting eaten?

Also, what does Odin think of his son becoming zombified? I mean, does he just not care either way, or is there some Godly law that prevents him from interfering?

And I think they were able to eat Silver Surfer despite breaking their teeth because they don't feel pain...

Wolverine and Deadpool couldn't rely on the Healing Factor because, as we've now learned, it's all caused by the NECRONOMICON!!!

Maybe he's only hardened for as long as he mentally wills it, maybe it's a whole reality distortion shpeal, that he loses when he dies or loses consciousness...I mean, it could just be a giant plot-hole, but you gotta give comics the benefit of the doubt...Otherwise, you just end up thinking their stupid and walking away. You have to help them help you...

Yeah...and, again, this is not the six hundreth and sixteenth universe we've come to know and love, this is completely different. In the regular Marvel universe, Galactus would never be consumed, even if they weakened him. There just isn't any meat or anything there, it's all cosmic whatever. And, frankly, Thor from our universe would so destroy all the zombies there...

BTW, the Marvel Zombies are assholes. your telling me they can make a destructo ray to take out Galactus, but they can't work on a replica hammer for Thor? Maybe something with lightning charges or something. It sucks to be zombie Thor...

Well, we know Ash is involved. These are not normal zombies. If you look at his world and the way zombies are even created in his travels, they usually just pop up around him for no reason at all. If you follow any of the arts such as necromancy you learn quite a bit about this phenominon, meaning these are more demons than the classic night of the living dead stereotype that everybody in this board is thinking about. As for venom, his host body isn't dead, we are dealing with the necronomicon. "Zombies" in the necronomicon are not dead but rather dead souls in living bodies. This series combines a bunch of factors, I agree a few loopholes, but they nailed the storyline as different plot points of what ifs pop up. To understand this series, watch the evil dead series, read a few different versions of the necronomicon, read as many comics as you can, and piece it together. It was b.s. how Galactus went down though...pissed me off.

i think they didn't expect to have so much success, its a dream ride really, the mini series was a quirky out of the ordinary little piece, they have planted the seed and now they have to write in those parameters.... i try not to look at the mistakes or else i lose the feeling of the story

What's wrong with Kirkman? He's writing a great zombie book right now. I'm not defending Marvel Zombies, but Walking Dead is good. He may have dropped the ball on MZ, but that doesn't mean he can't write a good story.

DEADPOOL says:

"Here are other things I thought of...Why didn't Venom try to eat his symbiote? It appearantly didn't get infected.If the symbiote was dying since it's host is "dead," then why didn't it just leave Eddie for someone that was alive?"

The Symbiote didn't have anyone else to attach to. They were all dead already.

I like the series, but then again I'm a huge fan of zombies and Evil Dead. The main problem I have is that Colonel America can loose half his head and still be alive... errr undead and talk and function as if his whole brain was still intact. The idea of a super virus that only infects super powered beings is new and a fresh twist on the zombie genre. I agree that it is over the top and some stuff doesn't make sense but I've never taken a zombie story too seriously. It's fun.

DEADPOOL says:

"I don't know why it didn't dawn on me earlier, but... why didn't Galactus become a zombie? He was infected before he died."

hmmmn? the transformation was quite fast. did he die before the infection made it to his nervous system? (or what ever system it affects)
