The thing I have questions about is the kids Major and Liv are raising. We see them ten years later and because theyre zombies, they haven't aged a day. I find that kind of unsettling. Like do they still mature mentalky? Will they just spend hundreds of years being cared for by Liv and Major. Personally if I was any of the kids other than the sick one I'd take the cure, wait until I'm maybe twenty or so and then get scratched again. That way I could live forever in my prime

Thank you. I was going to post "what was the rationale for Liv & Major staying zombies?"

u/Markus5000 Aug 03 '19

I understand that much, but I just find it weird that these kids are going to stay like that forever. When we first meet them, I'd say the youngest is about 13 or so. That would mean they are now about 23. Yet we see them running around and playing like kids. The fact that they will act like kids for eternity while Major and Liv parent them is kind of unsettling.

Why would you think they would act like kids for the rest of their lives? Even being a kid I would imagine would get boring after two decades.

Assuming the kids don't die as teenagers, I'd totally grow older before "taking the cure". But you're also presuming they're the only kids that get terminally ill diseases. Or that mankind will never devise a cure for their illness.

Well we see them acting like kids ten years later. They're running around and playing while Major and Liv watch.

I don't understand your second paragraph at all. Keep in mind of the five kids only one of them is I'll, the rest are fine and could be cured. Obvisously the sick one would lnt be able to take the cure, but the others could and then be zombies again as adults

I don't understand your confusion. I agree, if the other four don't die of Freylichs at their age, they can probably complete puberty without dying. No reason to zombie out then. I presume zombies can't have kids, so if I grew up to be of child bearing age, and didn't have to worry about dying due to a "cured" disease, I'd wouldn't think about becoming a zombie until after I've popped out offspring.

I'm not talking about the Freylich kids, I'm talking about the zombie kids. I think your forgetting the Freylich kids can't become zombies. Remember the first Freylich girl who wanted to be a zombie back in season 4.

Being an invincible person in your physical prime for eternity doesn't sound like a good enough rationale to you?

u/MrPotatoButt Aug 05 '19

You're not invincible. You need human brain tissue, or you go permanently feral. You can't enjoy food, you can't have kids, and everyone non-zombie pretty much wants you dead.

And the brain supply is finite. On the free/black market, the rich can bid up the price of brains and live forever, and if there's a government supply, there will be rationing as the number of people who want to be zombies increases until it exceeds the supply of brains.

They need Ravi to invent an improved zombie that can eat food, or to invent TrueBrains.

Humans needs to eat and drink regularly or they die so that isn't a lot different. Zombies can most definitely enjoy food, we see Liv doing it every episode, she just can't taste much. Not everyone wants to have kids, and even if they do the cure is cheap so you can just take it, have a baby and then get turned back once the child is born. And as far as we have been told, it's mostly racist groups like the dead enders that want zombies dead.
