Date: 2016-04-02 01:59 pm (UTC)Like, dude, I get it, you don't want to die. I get it. But you are fucked either way so kindly don't doom the others too, you know?

Date: 2016-04-02 07:52 pm (UTC)Which, admittedly, is a reasonable concern. There is always going to be a leeroy jenkins in a group, and anyway even reasonable people can get twitchy when they are scared and exhausted and starving and stuck in a disaster with no end in sight.
But, again, they are fucked either way. And actually getting shot in the head would be less horrible than turning into a zombie and eating your own loved ones. So grow a damn spine and come out.
Or, better yet: agree on a quarantine plan before heading out to face the zombies. Something like "guys, we are not 100% sure any bite could turn you, there might be a chance you'll remain human, so if anybody gets bitten let's agree that they'll admit it and we'll tie them up somewhere and not shoot them until after they turn, just in case."

Date: 2016-04-02 07:56 pm (UTC)Then again, people in horror movies still can't seem to figure out that splitting the group is a terrible idea, so...

Date: 2016-04-02 08:10 pm (UTC)Despair is a good motivator for the ol' noggin to get creative.
Re: The Zombie Apocalypse usually could be avoided entirely....
Date: 2016-04-02 08:24 pm (UTC)Then there is the point that your chances of being immune are like 0,0000001%, and it's kinda selfish to almost certainly doom the entire group (including friends and family and children) over the grain-in-the-sand chance that you won't turn. Despair only goes so far as freudian excuse.
And then there is the part where, if you are so concerned about getting shot over a zombie bite, you should make a plan with the group about quarantining people who get bitten before heading out. Seriously, they are adults, surely some of them have got cuffs somewhere? Or heck, duct tape? Those survivors types will start stocking ammunition and food years in advance but even they never think to suggest of a quarantine plan for bite survivors?
Re: The Zombie Apocalypse usually could be avoided entirely....
Date: 2016-04-02 08:40 pm (UTC)Quarantine plan would also play in just the same human failing, you'd have to acknowledge that people around you, that you might have known your whole life, will die. Or you might. And that you might have no other option than locking them up and waiting for them to with no way of actually helping them. Most people will just avoid thinking of stuff like that.

Date: 2016-04-03 10:01 am (UTC)Lex would probably be all "videogames and television are opium for the masses" or whatever, I expect the only game or tv show he'd be willing to make involves him beating up Superman; and he'd expect you to cheer at the crappy dialogues too, the narcissistic bastard, on pain of being cut out from any other technology he develops. As for condoms, I bet Joker would find it hilarious to kill people with poisoned condoms, make them go out with a bang.
I have to warn you...

Date: 2016-04-03 09:04 am (UTC)Also, this is from the period where he had appeared in Morrison's run, gotten shot, and then 'reinvented' himself under Morrison's ham-fisted 'THE JOKER IS THE DAVID BOWIE OF CRIME' idea.. So how exactly is he appearing here?

Date: 2016-04-04 02:14 am (UTC)But the Cheetah? Abra Kadabra? Effigy? Nope, they shouldn't find the Joker remotely intimidating. (Honestly, I don't think the Joker could ever be in the same story as Kadabra without getting turned into a giant playing card and shredded. Kadabra hates rival showmen.)
Again, you want to have the Joker take down Psimon in this story? That could be plausibly done. Have the Joker poison Psimon in some intricate, indirect and half-random way that even a telepath can't see coming. And then he could crow about how easily Psimon's grand plans for utopia came crashing down thanks to a single malcontent with no superpowers. Boom, point made. Instead, what we get is the Joker doing some sort of caveman alpha male shtick to impress a bunch of unrepentant murderers who can outrace bullets and punch down buildings. 'Tis silly.

Date: 2016-04-02 11:21 pm (UTC)Not that the Joker needs a reason...
Frankly, Psimon is an idiot indeed, especially thinking that ladies like Phobia, Jewelee, Cheetah and Giganta would willingly become broodmares for the likes of him or Sonar.
