why zombies eat brains i research these dudes back in the day

 

1. Brains contain protein and high level of energy [ For movies]

 

Zombies often suffered tiresome after walking slowly , they feed on human brains because its the last protein and energy they have small portion of hunger and needs.

 

2. Brains Contain Energy Boost for zombies [ For games]

 

Zombies Need to recharge their ability , some zombies are gifted at super jump , Shadow Ability zombie who are gifted ability of sneaking, some have super strength call them the big brother/sister these dudes don't joke around mess with them they tear you body into pieces however big brother/sister leveled zombies don't consumed brains they eat total flesh , another thing that psy zombies that are titled supernatural beings consumed brains because they need humans energy to boost their power kinda like extra perk.

 

3. Zombies need to grow "Eating them like vegetable " [ World War Z book]

 

Zombies Believe that brains had that Extra Vitamin they need, These guys are scared at daylight, which mean a real animated corpse would degrade to 12 hours limit , the sun will kill them like a vampire slowly its because the actual dna doesn't support real skin to protect them by consuming brain " they assume small portion of the human brain cells will boost their intelligent to trigger survival ability.

 

 

4. zombies eat what they eat... "except the intelligent one" [ Max Brooks Book]

 

Zombies have two different types the one that are idiots and the intelligent product unlike other zombies both of these creatures eat what they eat they don't really know the difference, its how humans will likely to survive.

 

5. Zombies don't use weapons brains give them strength

 

like video games the real zombie degrades , but with extra brain cells it able them to do anything they can within time limit , if the time ends they degrade and die not cool lol.

 

6. Human Brains able to cure their skin infection

 

Would really believe that zombies did care the bleeding part some zombies that are pure with human skin they replace human skin actually stich them , in some research i found that zombie can actually act like human being they will use anything that will cure their bleeding , but others who dont have intelligent brains will slowly heal their cuts.

 

these are some research i made back in the day lol , since you ask emily i will answer them seriously.

That's pretty damn elaborate, I usually just thought brains were healthy in some way

Anya: ...Zombies don't eat brains unless instructed to by their zombie masters.

And who are their masters, do I dare ask?

[nonusnomeni]

[Strelky]

No thanks, I'll stick schnitzel and vodka

[Queen Bee]

No, I'm their master. And by that I mean mistress. Go forth, my minions, and feast upon their brains!

[Strelky]

Holy Shit! Time to go Stereotypical Russian with a bottle of vodka an AK-47

[nonusnomeni]

with that amount of ammo (only one bottle of vodka ) you will not stand for long

[Queen Bee]

It's not how long you stand, but how tall.

Sorry, but you're wrong. All of you.

 

The subtrope of brain-eating zombies seems to have originated with 1985's Return of the Living Dead, and most of the time when it appears it is either a reference to that film, or unknowingly influenced by other references to that film. Before Romero, zombies were not expected to eat people at all, except in some fringe Haitian legends which included anthrophagy as part of a general rampage on the part of the normally passive zombies whose controlling voudun priest had died.

 

It should be noted that most zombies of the Romero sort just eat whatever meat off the person until they get bored. Most serious zombie movies don't have brain eating as something all zombies do, and since Removing the Head or Destroying the Brain is the general way to kill such zombies, having them only eat brains would logically mean there couldn't be new zombies; naturally, when zombies in a work do only prefer eating brains, they'll usually also be immune to destroying the head. As you'll read down the page, you'll find most examples to be zombie free.

This actually supports my claim, that zombies only eat brains if ordered to by their zombie masters. So yay, I'm right!

 

It does make me wonder where the whole "zombies eat brains" stereotype came from.

Mogie, that reads like it was taken from a book. Can you site your source?
