The Last of Us Franchise - Because it's apparently a franchise now. This thread has been double-DMCA’d by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

The Rat King is probably the most interesting thing we get added to the story. Would have liked to see more creatures like that. Or maybe a main villain who's sentient infected. Then again I'm sure Druckmann would have fucked that idea up and would have just disappointed us
We have a universe where freakish fungus zombies exist and they think a tranny sex scene will be shocking?

Where's my rotting mushroom penis tentacle monster? An infected gestalt that goes around raping women like a ravenous land ocotpus so that they may become corrupted brood queens to produce more individuals for the zombie mutant collective? Give me some real body horror shit. Like a goddamn flesh carousel of sexual reproduction.

Fungus can operate similar to ants and you have massive colonies, you would think the next step would be having actual hives and hierarchies within the infected.

You'd figure this would make a vaccine redundant and most infected would be dead. The real effort would be cleaning the fungal gunk off the walls of buildings and clearing out spores. Abby's revenge isn't really relatable when her dad was a piece of shit (but remember he saved a zebra guys)
So we have a whole situation where we know the infected will die in the cold and that's why they migrate. So basically large parts of Canada and and Greenland are huge ass safe zones in North America where it's fucking cold year round. And Russia would have already fully recovered by now. If you're to the point where you can observe predictable seasonal behavior, they would have been easily wiped out.

Every migration has choke points that's why predators set themselves up in the same specific areas in every animal documentary ever. If you can keep the infected from moving south they all die in the coming season. Hell even for song birds that are in danger for going extinct people find poachers' capture nets in the same places along the same paths year after year.

This is the main problem with any long-term zombie apocalypse scenario that doesn't entirely wipe out humanity in a short period of time. They're dumb as shit. They wander off cliffs, walk straight into fires, suicidally attack even well armed humans, etc. If they didn't have a large pool of humans to convert, their numbers would rapidly dwindle even without anyone trying to do anything to them. Humans would eventually just move to where zombies couldn't go and wait for them to die, even if civilization was completely kaput and they couldn't come up with any better ideas.

That's part of what's interesting about Crossed, in that it's a 'zombie' scenario but the zombies aren't braindead and can be genuinely cunning at times. Their limiting factor is their impulsiveness - they can't help obeying the impulse to pleasure, and they don't think long term for the most part.

Mind you in the northern United States and canada, they would just freeze solid from exposure during the winter.
