Ganados & Majini - Las Plagas Infected - Do YOU consider them a TYPE of Zombie?

Here's a interesting question I figured I'd ask, because I myself do consider, Las Plagas infected humans, a Parasitic Type of Zombie.
As well, in Zombie fiction, there are different types of Zombies, the Fast Running one, or your standard slow moving ones.
And Romero in Land of the Dead showed (Only for a split second though Rolling Eyes

) That Zombies COULD eventually show some type of intelligence, further more, a Controlled Zombie is only obvious.

Eh, I'm trying to explain in better detail but it'll just come to me.

Yeah I do. They may retain their motor skills and thought mechanics, but they're still mindless. And they can be controlled. Not as bad as corporate zombies though.

No, I don't consider them zombies. Zombies are mindless, which ganados and majin obviously aren't by the fact that they're shown going about their daily life, taking and giving orders, using weapons, riding motorcycles, etc..

And Land of the Dead was a mistake on Romero's part.

Ganados are infected, but the infections is nothing like zombie infection... Zombies have infected blood... Ganados are infected with Plagas, virus too, but it grows in head... Sorta brain control...

No they not Zombies... you just proved yourself wrong Laughing

... If they're mindless they can't be controlled, thus cancelling the facts about Majini and Ganados. Listen...

Zombies are infected with a virus, BUT you have to die first for it to take effect. Now, since you are dead, yourself brain cells die due to no oxygen exchange between your blood vessels and brain tissue, thus brain dead > lack of motor skills > mindless. If your brain dead, you can't function without some kind of resusitation, which is the virus reconstructing they're cellular structure in they're brain, no body, that why they're bodies still decay, and if you shoot them in the brain they dead automatically because they will have inadequate levels of virus in the brain cells. Now since the virus brought them back to life, they have minor motor skills, thus the slow walking zombies, and maybe short bursts of running towards you. Since they are mindless, they will attack ANY living human, they can not be controlled.

Majini and Ganados are not zombies at all, but a new breed of Biological Organic Weapon that can be controlled. Since they are infected with a parasite, usually a microscopic egg injected into the blood stream. Since, its a parasite (Las Plagas) the parasite can use the human as a host, thus the human is NOT dead and retains full use of motor skills (Running, jumping, etc.) and train of thought (planning, strategy, etc.) This enemies, are not mindless because its like I said, they're not dead when they are infected with the parasite so they're brain is fully functional... they even can kill the parasite if its still in it's early stages of development (i.e. Ashley and Leon.) They can be controlled because the parasite can be controlled (i.e. Lord Saddler) and use the body as a host unlike the uncontrollable zombies. They're B.O.W.s, but not zombies.

That said, I don't think anyone can argue the fact that Majini and Ganados ar Zombies Laughing

Both are in the head... the parasite actually lays in the chest, but it's "strands" reach to the brain. Since the Ganados and Majini have a fully functionally brain they since die without a brain like the zombies, whereas the zombie have restructurd brian tissue. When a Las Plagas or Cephalo comes out of the head when shot off, that is the parasite in its complete stages of development, able to survive without the host.

Oh yes i forgot, what I meant final stage of Plagas infection is taht creature in the head... But Im not sure that T virus is in the head... Well Viruses can be found in every part of body, tahts true, but they cannot move on their own... Its the blood that transports them

Sure, of course its in the blood, but once the human comes back to life as a zombie, the blood has transported the virus to the blood exchanging the virus like oxygen through the membrane reconstructing the cellular structure of the brain. After that is complete, the zombie is now alive, and although the virus is still in the blood stream, the zombie can still live even if all the blood in the body is drained because the virus reconstructed the brain, thus if shot, not more zombie.

I don't consider these a type of zombie...real zombies are after flesh and bones and have no minds because of it

I'm sorry, I don't understand... they're zombies because they eat flesh and because of that they have no mind?

Resident, you changed my mind. Somehow I forgot about the whole undead part of being a zombie. Zombies have to die first. Can I change my vote? Razz

There's no poll... Suspect

...Oh, wait, that was a joke. Nothing to see here, move along. Razz

haha I was gonna say. If someone took me seriously there I was gonna have to stop my joking ways. lol Razz

No they are different.

Zombies are created by the T-virus(which was an accident and no doubt a failure on Umbrella's part), while Las Plagas(and any parasite such as NE-Alpha) gives the host intelligence, as seen by Nemesis, Ganados and Majini, which all of these were able to use weapons, speak and of course had more intelligence.:O

Spike, I think this topic meant in the whole realm of zombiedom. Not just RE. In other words...Romero's zombies weren't created by the T-Virus. Or if they were, then someone is gonna be in trouble at the copyright office.
