not sure you mean Romero zombies, they're the case where ANYONE who dies, regardless of situation, comes back as the walking dead, there wouldn't be a "patient zero" in that patient zero would be global

Er, ok. The "if you get bit you become one after a short incubation period then eat brains" type

The brain eaters are Russo zombies (from the trashy Return of the Living Dead knockoff series), created by a chemical rather than contagion

iZombie zombies are ironically pretty close to Russo zombies (and I guess turn into Romero zombies in their "failed state" of not getting brains for too long)

Romero zombies killed you if they bit you but you still turned if you died any other way The creator of The Walking Dead, who follows Romero rules closely, said he always headcanoned that zombie bites were nothing special and they kill you through "normal" sepsis and germs

That's not really how it looks in actual practice, with zombie bites being really quickly and inevitably fatal, but whatever It was Max Brooks' Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z that codified the "infection only" zombie

I feel like 28 Days Later did a number on creating it too, and of course the Dawn of the Dead remake was the nail in that coffin

Like it’s very clearly obvious resident evil is what popularized infectious zombies and is likely responsible for the existence of the dawn of the dead remake?

Yeah okay I think of RE as almost in a different category because of all the wacky monstrous mutant variants but that's really something that evolved over time

Also tbf the zombies are almost always a side effect of some Human and/or Military Fuckery
