Which would be more deadly?
Zombie Vampires
or
Zombie Ninjas?

No Underworld-esque Zombie-vampire/ninja hybrid theories, please.

Zombie Vampires, duh.

See, there's a difference between superpowers and skills. Ninja's got mad skills. But when your a zombie, your skills go down the crapper. Things like talking, thinking, doing your taxes...GONE.

But vampires, they got superpowers. Immortality, superstrength and super speed. And a zombie vampire is going to want two things: brains and blood. And unlike Louis ("whining Louis"), zombies have no conscience.

You see a zombie ninja, you shoot him in the head and bam, it's over. You see a zombie vampire, you're soooo fucked and dead before you realize it.

Ok, vampires get to keep their superspeed and strength, but ninjas can't keep their deadly reflexes and stealth?
The way I see it, a zombie ninja, even though his ninja powers would have been degraded by the zombification process, would still be quite formidable. Ninjas as strong too, how else do they jump so high? And a ninja's combat reflexes, finely honed by years of intense training, would still linger beyond undeath.
So when you see a zombie ninja, you shoot him in the head and bam- uh oh, IT DODGED! It might not be a very graceful dodge, it might not be a complete dodge, but you better have a good supply of ammo. Do you even own a gun?
And... you might not even SEE the zombie ninja.
Plus, zombie vampires have a longer list of vulnerabilities, like sunlight, and susceptible to shots to the brain AND heart.

You know what would suck? Fighting zombie vampires... in a house of mirrors. They can see you everywhere, you can't see them...

that was what I wanted to say about Zombie Ninjas, but when I typed it out, I sounded stupid and didn't get to the point, you make it work every single time, you are really good with explanations, know what I mean?
But my focus when I thought of ZN, I was focused on the stealth part, I love that word.

Reflexes and stealth are human traits. When the solanum corrodes their brain and resurrects them as zombies, they're only going to have the least amount of brain activity that it takes to function to hunt and feed.

Le supernaturale, however, are going to fuck you up.

Animals have reflexes and stealth, not just humans. Animals also hunt and feed. It's been proposed in several movies that zombies continue to follow patterns they followed in life, like congregating at malls, to name a recent example.

Was comparing natural to supernatural. The natural would deteriorate under such strain.
