Bitch slap is such a harsh term. I prefer Keepin' the Pimp hand Strong.
I may have missed where the theory said one of the Higher Brain function zombies. I assumed by Tommy's actions he qualified into what you were talking about. But if you're talking truly high brain function (TOWTM) then you could very well be right. I doubt remorse is one of those emotions he'd show....but we've certainly seen his malicious side....My buddy made it sound worse than it was. I agree that Tommy didn't show an ounce of hesitation in attacking the group and even displayed some idea of self preservation, but I still think we have yet to see an example in the story where a zombie with higher brain function might have a second thought about attacking a loved one. Tommy only had one blood relative there; his aunt, and even then she was pretty much a bitch with him. But yeah, I don't think we'll ever see this idea explored in the story and it's probably best to throw it either in the crack pot pile or consider it useless.
Never played left for dead, but I've seen the artwork for Tanks and Chargers so I can see why people make the comparison. Essentially, I think they look the same (big hulking torso and arms, small head, regular looking legs) but since I know League more than L4D I'll just stick to my guns.I recently saw League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but I think as a movie it sucks and made a handful of my favorite literary characters two dimensional. In my mind the behemoths are represented by the image of Tanks and/or Chargers from Left-4-Dead 1 & 2.
Like I said, I honestly don't know who brought it up first...there's just a few posts around here and as much as I'd like to say I remember them all...but that'd be a lie.I could have sworn I made a casual comment about the background applauding/stomping when the one with Markings was tearing up Samantha, but maybe I just thought on it and never actually posted. Oh well.
