We can take
anything and turn it into a fountain of sexiness, be it for guys or girls. Look
at pirates. They transformed from a bunch of scurvy-ridden dead-drunk sailors
to the icon of badassery and sexiness they are now, see Captain Sparrow for a
notable example (though I'm thinking Trafalgar Law, to be honest). And it’s not
the first time some undead have been revamped* into sexy tough walking
fan-service. Look at vampires. Though, in all fairness, I've just finished
reading Polidori’s The Vampire and it’s not all that different from good
modern-day vampire imagery (I'm thinking more Anne Rice than Stephanie Meyer
here).
So why
shouldn't we try this for our brain-eating friends? Sure, you fans of the
zombie genre will argue that if they do get a brush of sexy they will stop
being so menacing and it will be yet another horror genre ruined by “the
masses”. I say screw that! Even vampires could keep their dignity after
Twilight, so why, oh, why can’t we have a little, little bit of zombie
fan-service while you get to see them eating brains?
*I'm sorry, sorry, sorry for that pun. T_T
