Vampires or Zombies?

Darth Thrax · Vampires or Zombies?

The title explains it all. Which of the two are better and why?

Supreme Commander Alor

You seem to give us a lot more options than just two.
I'd have to go with Twilight Vampires, because they are not hindered by sunlight as much as the rest. Twinkling in the light is not nearly as bad as instantaneous combustion.

Fien'Dur

Not only is that pathetic and useless, but Twilight vampires fail, and are a disgrace to the name of vampires.

Mage Superior Odin

Yea, the vampires in Blade can slay those emo bloodsuckers in a second.

Supreme Commander Alor

High Mage Serratus

I picked zombies simply because they embody one of my greatest fears; an unstoppable epidemic. A plague that sweeps the earth, killing and then resurrecting all it infects, with no cure and nothing short of RAINING FIRE AND LAVA to stop them. And there will be no raining fire and lava.

Unless it's those frickin' magic zombies, hate those mofos.

Jastin

I love movies like I Am Legend and The Omega Man also 28 days was really good, but I'm going to have to go with vampires because they are capable of actual thought and an army of vampires could easily kill an army of zombies.

Fien'Dur

False! Everyone knows that zombies can't be killed, short of exploding them, and my kind of zombie is quick, quiet, stealthy, ninja-like, genius, armed with weapons of all sorts. Vampires would get pwned all day, every day.

ZOMBIES FTW

Supreme Commander Alor

That kind of zombie doesn't exist.

Fien'Dur

False! It does exist. And in reality, neither zombies or vampires exist, so, what now? Pwend!

Mage Superior Odin

Eh, zombies are dumb as far as I see. Evilness must be fed with mind, otherwise the reason is only being non-sentient. The zombie Serratus mentioned is somewhat like Arthas from Warcraft. Undead but not a zombie.

Fien'Dur

The zombie i'm speaking of is human like, just with the benefits of being partially immortal and uber insanely powerful, and fast.

Supreme Commander Alor

Has such a zombie ever existed in Fiction?

Jastin

Fien'Dur I don't really like arguing with a friend but in this case I think I must. Zombies aren't intelligent enough to kill vampires and the zombie you are talking about sounds alot like a vampire.

Fien'Dur

Unfortunately, no. But i plan on writing a novel about a zombie of that caliber. Why doesn't a zombie like that exist? It would be epic pwenage.

Supreme Commander Alor

Because it isn't the zombie stereotype. Zombies are brainless undead, uncoordinated, and usually with limbs falling off. The two most common fictional causes are viruses in the brain or being dead, your brain decomposing, then being awakened.

So intelligent zombies are unheard of. As for the unnatural strength, most zombie movies have thousands of zombies overwhelming. Not one super-zombie. They aren't special, just lacking brains.

High Mage Serratus

The subversion being in Resident Evil where the Umbrella Corporation's experiments bring us such gems as the Licker and Nemesis. But even these creatures have their weaknesses (the Licker being uncoordinated and Nemesis being mortal) and are still supported by the implacable hordes of the undead.

What's so terrifying about zombies isn't the being eaten alive by the undead corpses of people and then being resurrected as one, it's the knowledge that no matter how hard you try, no matter what you do, you can't stop them.

Darth Thrax

Darth Rachk

Cut off the head, unless its a zombie risen of necromancy, it will re-kill the zombie. Severing the spinal cord cuts off commands from the brain, regardless of how little brains may be left, it still exists and is necessary for basic acts such as movement.

Fien'Dur

Good luck trying to do that if you're not a creature of power fighting my zombie.

Darth Rachk

Your too lazy to ever right a novel, and your zombie is nothing but a vampire, that goes by the name zombie. Any trained person, with a sword, machete, axe, or any thing else could cut off its head. What makes your zombie a zombie?

Fien'Dur

Okay, i am probably too lazy to actually write a novel, and my zombie is not a vampire, so don't call it that. No human could kill my zombie with any weapon, period. And decapitation isn't going to kill it either, unless that zombie is alone and couldn't find their own head to personally re-attach it. My zombie is smart, agile, swift, powerful, master in the combative arts, partially immortal, and have few of their kind, unlike vampires, whom are everywhere.

PWEND!

Darth Rachk

Your zombie couldn't be a master in the combative arts, unless trained, and mastered in life.

Fien'Dur

They are trained from the time they are realized to be zombies kid. Get it right.

Darth Thrax

Supreme Commander Alor

PWNED

High Mage Serratus

Venedictos Appo

Vampires ftw. You can kill zombies through the gratuitous use of fire. Vampire's laugh at the gratuitous use of fire.

Fien'Dur

I never once said they were in a state of decay. I did say they were human like in their appearance, meaning they have skin tissue that is growing normally.

Lord Aequitas

Dude, zombies are dead. Tissue doesn't grow. If it is growing then they're not zombies, they're just weird.

Fien'Dur

That's what makes them so cool!

Lord Aequitas

But that fact they're not zombies just voids your whole argument. You're talking about Usain Bolt, not zombies.

Sheesh Rolling Eyes

Fien'Dur

No, because i don't even know what that is. And all of you are just jealous! (Runs out of the room crying)

Lord Aequitas

Usain Bolt is the fastest human on earth.

Fien'Dur

LAME!

Lord Aequitas

Well that's what you're obviously talking about cos like, the Zombies you're on about aint dead. So...they're not Zombies.

Dude.

Fien'Dur

Funny how you gave me a hick accent. Just because i'm from Oklahoma doesn't mean i speak like an Okie.

Lord Aequitas

1. I didn't know you were from Oklahoma.

2. What's an Okie?

3. What hick accent?

4. What's a hick accent?

5. What's a hick?

Fien'Dur

It seemed like you were insulting me by saying "ain't", just because that is the most stereotypical way of doing so. I wasn't exactly sure of your intent to cause insult or not, so i apologize for being confrontational.

1.) I wasn't aware of your knowledge of me being from Oklahoma or not.

2.) An "Okie" is someone from Oklahoma that possesses a southern accent, hailing from Oklahoma.

3.) It seemed like you were giving me a hick accent by saying the word "ain't".

4.)A hick accent is southern speak.

5.) Pretty much the same as number 2.

High Mage Serratus

I say "ain't" and my speech has been called Shakespearian and reminiscent of an old English baron who can't quite grasp what century he's in.

Tupac Shakur said "ain't" and he was a rappa from de ghetto.

Several characters in the musical my school is doing say "ain't", one's a New Yorker, two are Italian immigrants, one's from Seattle and the other is from California.

"Ain't" ain't any more a staple of "hick" speak than any other accent.

Lord Aequitas

Fien'Dur

I usually only say ''ain't'' when i say, ''Nah, that ain't me.''
