Spoiler Rutina Wesley She's pretty but there was a sex scene in TB that put her over the top for me. Hotness.
Hollywood likes creating hyper-functional communes that wouldn't work in real life, complete with a council of the enlightened running everything. It's amusing, but it doesn't really detract from the show. A better depiction of how societal order takes shape over time in a lawless environment would be Deadwood
why cant they have both types of communities? also, historians will point out that the old west mythos of constant gunfights and rowdy debauched cities isnt entirely accurate either. and walking dead was showing "hyper-functional communes" in the comics and tv show going back 10-15 years...i dont remember right wingers getting upset at that at the time.
Or what we just saw in Kansas City? Wouldn’t surprise me that an isolated, rich, ski-resort town like Jackson, WY turned out very different than Kansas City.
They'd run across a 60 year-old Anne Hathaway and 80 year-old George Clooney. "But, you were liberals!" "'WERE', ass*ole! 'WERE' is right!" (bang bang) "Keep running!"
This commune talk is such a weird thing. It's a small community living off scarcity. There sure as hell won't be seed and paper banks or a wall to post stonks that lists town saloon and barber. It's a silly little joke but some folk find things as triggering as the whiney snowflake "pink hairs" they check under their beds for before they quake in their beds. Angry folk... Just don't watch. Cut your sodium while you're at it. Michelle Obama was right, fatties.
Agree with @Commodore and it’s not shallow at all. Communism doesn’t work outside of small, dedicated like-minded groups. In a survival scenario you’re still going to have people who want more, people who work extra to leverage their surplus for gain or luxury and people who resent the people who are perceived to work less or not at all. In communism this leads to corruption and black markets and eventually a capitalistic society even if they still call themselves a commune (PRC is an example of this). We even see it in episode 5; Maria has to trade for new clothes for Ellie. In a true communist society, she could just get the gear she needed without asking because it's shared by everyone.
Yeah, I’m certainly not advocating for communism on a broad scale. I am drawing distinctions between that and people taking care of one another in an apocalyptic aftermath.
The people in that town aren't desperate and destitute. They're at a point where they start to question the status quo. I'd say they're at the 'Esteem' stage of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
That’s why I’ll join the cult of Tilman fertitta at the golden nugget lake Charles when society breaks down.
And the zombies decompose faster in the humidity. I see someone has been studying their World War Z text. Well played
