The scene where the black guy chops up the zombies with the propeller in the field felt out of place. The film was very realistic and dark to that point where it just felt like a scene straight out of a Robert Rodriguez film. But it was still a great scene though.
shareYes, it's a bit over the top, but I like to think it's an Army Of Darkness reference. Either way, it's a bad ass scene.
shareCompletely agree. Everything in the film was realistic and logical up until and after that scene. It's just so out of place in keeping with the rest of the film.

Cool scene, but If I were the pilot I'd be afraid that I'd get infected doing that myself, what with all the infected's blood flying up.
shareVery realistic? So a helicopter swiping through a field of zombies is unrealistic. But the ludicrous idea of rage-induced humans attacking each other with no other neuronal capacity involved, isn't?
Defying the laws of biology = check.
Defying the laws of Motion = No! We can't have that!

Uh that's different. Just because a movie allows zombies to exist to create a plot, doesn't mean the movie itself can't be realistic/logical. Btw, the helicopter would have crashed.
shareAnd the helicopter breezing through the zombies allowed to exist to further the plot. See what I did there? You're also falsely conflating realism with logic. Something can be logical without being realistic, or vice-versa.

It is perfectly possible to influence the human brain with drugs to achieve this, or at least similar behavior.
The only fallacy here is you trying to sound awfully smart yet all you do is just throwing around speculations or assumptions without any evidence/thorough explanations, combined with vague statements, hoping no one would notice.
Didn't work out, sorry.
Nothing I've said was based on assumption. It's a medical fact that there's a biophysical limit to which a blood vector breaches the Blood-Brain-Barrier. And it's not in seconds. It's physically impossible. Period. just google the blood brain vector. it's a phenomena so elementary to neurology that any doctor can tell you flat-out you can't infect someone in seconds from a mere Encephalopathic-based virus.
Sounds like you're just trying to grasp onto a scientifically flawed, delusional fantasy that such a virus can exist.
Unfortunately for you and many post-apocalyptic aficionado's, the human brain is far too complex and complicated to make people act in such a specific, modulated manner. As I've correctly said, you would need to physically change the brain on the molecular scale. Or have evolution change with it in some sort of ecological symbiosis to see the effects some odd million(s) years from now.

As I've correctly said
You questioning my presumptions of authority on this matter is what makes me suspicious of your dubiousness to the whole speculation to begin with. There's nothing wrong with having assurance in being right if you're...well...right.
, but if it can happen at all and you just claiming it can't "because you are correct" doesn't convince anyone.
It isn't too long ago we discovered what a difference disinfecting your hands before an operation makes, so I am not arrogant enough to make claims as to what is not possible.
There's nothing wrong with having assurance in being right if you're...well...right.
I don't understand what was wrong with that comment? I have approximate answers but no one is 100% certain in everything. I was enjoying this convo, as well.
Me claiming I was right was just me saying that according to the gist of evidence in the field, it's not likely to ever exist.

Ask people from 100 years ago about landing on the moon, you'll probably meet some wannabe smart-ass like yourself who tells you it isn't possible and defies the laws of physics - although he knows jack *beep*
What a terrible analogy. The precedence of a lack of epistemology / knowledge on the laws of physics prevented us from making it possible. But that doesn't mean we didn't have the potential means to do so in very respect to this transitional lack of knowledge, and soon to be not.
We have a decent grasp on neuroscience in the 21st century. And while we're a long way from uncovering its mysteries, we know that there's no way you can "modulate" (using Pentra's term since it fits it well) such behavior or thinking patterns in such a narrow manner. The brain is in fact waaaay too complicated for such neural processing.
The brain is in fact waaaay too complicated for such neural processing.You totally contradicted your own argument with that statement... but I won't bother any further. share
There is no contradiction. You've just misinterpreted the meaning of its context. Either you're a troll or you're really this inept. You can't make someone act in an exact way because the brain is not modularized to such a degree seen in other Animalia with simpler brains and neurons. The complexity is within this respect to a virus making this so. Not in respect to the complexities of the mind, in and of itself.
You're grasping at thin air with this. Either you're a troll or you can't accept that certain things should just be left in fiction and not in Science.
