How would the ZA go in Mexico?
So i was watching No Going Back when i picked the option to talk about going to Mexico as a posibility
Naturally this will never happen since not only is no one taking the suggestion seriously but the whole idea of crossing half of the continent during the Za is crazy ( tell me would you take that suicide mission)
But it still got me thinking How would Mexico go in Zombie Fiction ? I mean we know how walkers react to extreme COLD but how would they react to extreme HEAT? And for that matter people in Mexico are very well armed for this sort of thing so would zombies be as big of a problem as in the US?

I would think since Mexico is so hot that the zombies would rot faster.
Well I assumed it would be easier as less walkers since the population is a lot smaller but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of zombies wondered out of the US, I don't think Walkers are affected by heat either.
Mexico is more densely populated than the US.
im from colombia and belive me , i have been in mexico once, and in both countries its HARD to find any gun shop there and here in colombia....
but in a ZA that would not be a problem , there is police stations everywhere.... at least in the north of mexico
they have kind of the same population
Well, where I stay at when I go to Mexico most houses have a lot of fences, there's this big signal tower, probably like 50 feet tall, people could go up there and maybe a helicopter can come get us? And my grandma has her own market so we can stock up on food.
That's not what density means
i know ......what i wanted to say is that density = more population , but they have kinda the same density... but U.S.A. surely has more population than mexico.....
The population of the United States is 317,493,212 in Mexico they have 118,395,054 folks, so a third. Mexico has 1,972,550 km2 of land while the USA has 9,826,675 km2, five times as much; so as you can see it's a third of the people in a fifth of the area, that is a huge difference.
Day of the Dead...
I'm not an expert on Mexican's laws but i think it's pretty hard to get a gun in Mexico legally atleast (someone correct me if i'm wrong) also it's not an extremely hot place i'm pretty sure some parts of the USA are hotter, some houses are made with bricks and cement so in that way they might be more protected
It's a Mexican tradition.
It's not just about guns, but body disposal and attitudes towards death.
It's a Mexican tradition.
It's a Mexican tradition.
Day of the Dead is a Mexican tradition.
..... was in the U.S
What was the point of that?
Still some mexican parts ARE hotter than in the U.S
It's not that hot only in deserts
Would'nt zombies be considered demons by such religious people
They would be in some parts of the American South.
Yeah but there're some hotter places in the USA that means those people might be living the same situation
O wait you meant the holiday my mistake i thought you meant the George Romero movie ( the 1985 one not the stupid remake)
No i'm sure they have knowledge of what a zombie is.
The movie took place in Florida (Kenny's home state), and the opening showed crocodiles coexisting with zombies.
To be frank, I believe the plague in TWD to be a supernatural and global phenomenon whose effects on the world outside the US are up to the imagination. It's up to you want to believe Mexicans are better or worse off than the Americans when it comes to handling the idea of the dead returning to cannibalize the living.
Yeah i told you i know but for a second i thogth you meant the Romeo flick
Soo by that logic they would not treat them like people
First MEXICANS ARE AMERICANS
Second yeah that's the whole point of the thread guessing how Mexico would take it
Depends. Kirkman works off the (lazy) idea that, for whatever reason, the popular idea of zombies never existed. But that still wouldn't exclude Mexico's strong cultural heritage regarding the acceptance of death.
I imagine it'd be quite traumatic for people to see their loved ones literally come back from the dead only to dishonor their beliefs by eating their family members.
"American" is commonly used to refer to members of the United States, regardless of the other people living on the American continents. No need to debate semantics.
It'd be a little odd for me to figure how any culture would behave in the face of an undead rising if the pop-culture zombie phenomenon did not exist, but I have a feeling that Mexicans would quickly adjust.
It IS preatty lazy
But i do see your point
I agree and sorry for the semantics (if i din't say it someone else would and it could have been bad)
do you think that mexico Is all Chihuahua or Sonora???..... idk but I think it be brutal, fucking drug, de por si, those fuckers would be ruling that shit. lol shit they probably survive the longest fucking fortes of houses they have. also many houses in mexico have concrete fences or big solid fences, well in Juarez where I was born and lived, is like that.
In Mexico as I've seen, there are lots of little houses with fences, stairs etc. Also most shops are not big rather small and it's hot. It would be interesting to play DLC about some characters in other countries like Mexico, in Europe etc.
Horrible. Some areas are really poor and it'd be easy for the infection to spread, also other areas are well protected. It just depends where you're at.
And to most americas/clueless people who think Mexico is just a big ass desert, it's not.
Red Dead did that.
Well, I'm from México, Sonora which has a frontier with Arizona and believe me it's freakin hot in here, we broke a world record this year with 49.5 celcius, that's really hot, this picture was from that day, I posted it some months ago when it happened.
Here's a link to the article, spanish though. http://www.excelsior.com.mx/nacional/2014/06/03/963120
In The Walking Dead Universe it's already started all over the world.
they want a taco
Just imagine the smell..
