Poor girl, she was just trying to bond with the crowd 😂

now that is unfortunate

I’ve never even seen albino actors, that could’ve been so cool.

It's similar to why zootopia doesn't work, both zombies and predators were a threat + have the opportunity to continue to be a threat, the prey/humans have genuine reasons to be afraid of them, racism doesn't work like that idk why directors are convinced it makes sense

Same way as when Rowling claimed werewolves were an allegory for HIV/AIDS. Like what?? Ppl with HIV do not go around attacking others (including children) to give it to them ☠️☠️

comparing minorities to hostile creatures comes off as very racist. idk what these directors are thinking.

I think a stand in works fine provided it isn't inherently harmful. By it's very nature an allegory is never going to be an exact match.

@@horrordyke to me the way I make sense of it is that with kids movies, as is what most of these movies are, Racism is a very heavy topic and while it is important to teach kids about these issues you need to do it in a way that won't traumatize them, like there's a reason movies like the OG Disney's Pinoccho aren't being made anymore and it's also easier to explain to kids who is who by giving each side defining characteristics that set them apart, there are definitely better ways to do this than Z-O-M-B-I-E-S or any other movie who use genuinely dangerous characters as the oppressed people but there's also a fine line between explaining heavy topics and getting sued this movie still sucks but that's just my opinion on the matter, I'm an internet stranger with too much time on my hands.

In the 2nd movie it’s revealed that zombies are so “evolved” that they aren’t so dependent of Z-Bands anymore because a sharp zombie mind can still be in control without it for a while, I guess it’s like holding your breath you can do it for a certain amount of time and after practicing you can last longer but at after a while you’ll need to catch your breath again, the thing is the Z-Band neutralizes their zombie impulses but it also prevents them from using their zombie powers like zombie strength, invulnerability and high tolerance to pain and in the 3rd movie people around SeaBrook already trust zombies so much that they are now allowed to remove their Z-Bands whenever they please so they can access their zombie powers

​@@pancakesxoxo1064 she's an alien. No I'm not joking

i just came here to say exactly this, youre so right

Yes but the zombies actually like the Z-Bands because it helps them and has many uses, I remember watching a video of Milo and Meg rehearsing the script and there were lines saying that the Z-band can also play music and in the movie later Zed says that they got an upgrade and now had Wi-Fi, in Zootopia the predators hated those shock collars and only wore them because they had to in order to be accepted and live there because it kept them from attacking someone but it also wouldn’t let them have strong feelings such as excitement and joy

ya but zootopias also bad rep of racism bc the minority r literally predatory animals 💀

@@lauracerqueiramachado8979 Also, to add to that, Zootopia had the collars be a tool to stop a perceived threat based on prejudice, with many prey not even knowing (or caring) just how badly it affected the predators because they were so set in their incorrect belief that predators were predisposed to aggression. It's a genuinely interesting depiction of how fear can cause people to unfairly judge and oppress others. In Z-O-M-B-I-E-S it doesn't really work as an oppression allegory because, as you said, the zombies like the bands, but also they are a legitimate threat if the bands stop working. It makes the "don't call people monsters for being different" message kind of fall flat when the oppressed group will go into an uncontrollable murderous rage if they don't wear a band. It would be like if in Zootopia they had the predators actually go savage when the collar came off. It's just such a weird decision.

@@AllyGatorAnimator yes exactly. it feels like they thought of the premise and thought of an interesting conflict and either the broad strokes were never revised or it just did not click for them how those two things together basically justify racism in your racism allegory. not to mention having your stand in for black people have barely-controlled rage issues programmed into their DNA that they use only to prey upon the majority group? fucking yikes. were there no black people in the writers room at disney, or like a sensitivity reader, or anyone with even a basic understanding of anti-black racism?? that shit would absolutely not fly nowadays. the fact this was made and scrapped-zootopia wasnt (even if the budget and culture at the time are obviously why) is lowkey upsetting

Kinda like Paranorman. Where the zombies didn't actually attack anyone but everyone was scared anyway

Exactly. One of the things that racist people in the real world do is give the "its in their nature" argument. which has constantly been proven to be false.
