Mitch McConnel. I'm fascinated by the fact that an undead half rotten ghoul can have a public and well paid career.

Does Harold from Fallout count?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I think only feral ghouls would fit under the zombie moniker

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes! I was thinking Fallout 2 era Harold myself.

Heh. I call him Bob. He hates that.

Reg Shoe from the Ankh-Morpork city watch, from the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett (RIP)

A zombie has to pay attention to everything around them, to make sure any damage is fixed ASAP. It makes Reg a great detective.

Plus his pre zombie character in Night Watch is a parody of John Cleese's Revolutionary Reg in The Life of Brian

Undead? Yes! Unalive? No!

Colin from the movie Colin. Zombie movie from the point of view of a zombie.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1278322/

Couple of dudes made it stupidly cheap and it was absolutely outstanding.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the recommendation!

I watched it myself and loved it.

Dude from warm bodies is my favorite zombie but my favorite character from a zombie franchise is Nikolai Belinski from black ops zombies because he was a fixture of my childhood

The zombified Avengers from "What If...?". They all still have their powers in addition to being zombies.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Like in the Marvel Zombies comics?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Probably, though I was referring specifically to the "What If...?" animated series which is (loosely?) based on them.

Rahul's character in iZombie technically for like 2 minutes lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

He was such a great character, he absolutely made that show!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Spoiler, butEd from Shaun of the Dead

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I watched that movie in January on a flight home, a zombie movie ahead of its time

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Bub from Day of the Dead.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Probably Sheila in Santa Clarita Diet.

Can I count Shrike from the Mortal Engines books? Shrike was fantastic

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

My doubt is more over his "zombie" status than the medium in which his story is told! Shrike was made a zombie by technological means rather than magic or disease, so he doesn't fit in that regard. In terms of what it makes him - implacable, near-indestructible, seemingly inhuman, and in appearance a dead man wearing some funny armour - he fits the bill well.

Jimmy Gibbs, Jr!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Brandon Heat from the anime and game GunGrave. Most over the top gun shootin zombie, filled his own coffin full of weapons and chained it to his back.

The two friends of the main character in Idle Hands.
