I've said it before but we really need to go back to the Romero zombies. Have them as a critique of consumerist culture and have the 'heroes' as regular chumps and not all stoic, grim borderline superheroes.
The original Night of the Living Dead was presented more as a natural disaster, and how people react to that. Also, as soon as the military showed up, the zombies were done (since really, there's no way for zombies to last against a military). Hence, it's only a night.
And then come Dawn the government's managed to do absolutely nothing about a horrible infectious disease, while the media bickers amongst themselves and willingly airs false information for views
I've said this before too, Zack Snyder's 2004 Dawn reboot was the reactionary Christian right coopting what was originally quite a progressive genre of fiction

As if that would EVER happen in real life

Zack Snyder sucks so much shit, it's unreal
Every franchise he touches is worse for it
As a Watchmen fan, yep.
At least his adaption got me into the graphic novel.
He really had the right idea and few people have been able to get it right since. His first few zombie movies in particular still hold up very well
