RIP George A. Romero. A true legend. You will be missed
From George Romero's unproduced Resident Evil script
George Romero always regretted how he portrayed Barbara in Night of the Living Dead, & that's reflected in all his subsequent films.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
The remake is especially notable in that respect, since the focus never switches away from Barbara, who's now a strong protagonist.

And those ideas fully show themselves in that ending, which ends the series perfectly. Romero was always political in a way.

If I remember correctly, at the time people hated exactly that. "Why didn't he open fire on them?!" Like, really?

I can't even pick which one of Romero's theatrical zombie films is my favorite. Fuck!

Is it Dawn because it's the most fun? Is it Day because it's bleak & loud? Is it Night because it's so creepy and revolutionary?

No. The words are interchangeable. So in the game you can say "LOOK WOMAN" instead of LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD, or WITCH, and it would work

Also the way the scripting worked, you only had to define one response to LOOK WOMAN instead of each possible combination.

I'm not touchy, and I'm not really a hardcore Twin Peaks fan. Just let people enjoy things.
