Indeed. Regardless of character age, it gets old when characters have clearly never had any kind of education, watched a documentary or read *any* fiction/media in their lives to even make an assessment on what could be happening (in any film/tv show) - like every zombie movie ever, when they try and talk to a zombie as if it's a sick person and don't know what's happening even when they are bitten; shit, I see someone so much as staggering in town irl and I'm whispering into my fiancées ear "aim for the head" in jest. It'd be nice if just once, at least one of the characters can make some assumptions based on what they are experiencing and make some logical decisions. Like "hey, there's something on their face, must be some kind of parasite. Since we don't know anything about it, We should probably quarantine/isolate this person until we know what's going on, hell, it may even have diseases for all we know!" But they won't.. they'll be the most naive tools in the universe for the sake of explaining to the audience (who are already 6 movies in and know exactly what's happening anyway).🤣
