Fast zombies for me.
Reason?
Well, you can render a Zombie unable to move, if not
dead dead much easier if it's a slow zombie.
If it's slow, you just pop their kneecaps with either a gun or a crowbar-on-a-broomstick / shovel / whatever (to avoid getting in grappling range) and move on until you have the means of disposing more permanently of the Zed.
If it's fast, it'll be much harder to even disable their ability to move.
Now, I agree that slow zombies seem to have been the standard for a long time...But does that mean they have to keep being the standard?
In the discussion on whether a virus counts for something being a zombie, consider this;
Is it a voodoo zombie? Those aren't dead, and won't infect you with anything if they bite you (And rarely would attack of their own accord).
Is it something unexplained, perhaps the wrath of an avenging God upon us? Because we'd basically be screwed, then.
Is it Solanum (the virus described in the Zombie Survival Guide) that reanimates the freshly dead, but like the zombies that are up and about don't attack things that are already dead?
There are a lot of different reasons in pop culture / zombie lore for why the dead walk among us (or in this case, the dead try to overwhelm us)...Which is canon? Is there even a single reason that can be pinpointed so you can say that
this is what causes zombification?
