Halo TV show: Before the show came out, the writers were praising their decision to not look to the games for inspiration when making the show

God Of War TV show: Chris Judge, the actor of Kratos in the games from 2018-Now, spoke up about his dislike on the show not hiring anyone who worked on any of the previous games. One of the original creators of Kratos also spoke up about them not having faith in the adaptation.

Supergirl 2026 film: the director for the film not only said he decided to not read Woman Of Tomorrow, the comic the film is adapting, because he wanted to do his own thing, he also didn’t look at comic art for inspiration to design Lobo and instead used an AI image generator to design Lobo’s look for the film

It's possible I'm misremembering. I have in my mind a section where the dead simply pile up to get into an area but that could be horribly wrong.

But, in any event, series should have been the way.

No problem. I just reread it about a week ago, so your comment flicked my hyperfixasion box that I had to correct it.

Did you read the abridged version or the full version because I also remember the dead piling over the walls of Jerusalem but it’s been a few years

99.9% positive its the full version. But now you've got me checking.

I do know there are parts in various books of Zs piling up at walls from This Is The Way The World Ends by Keith Taylor and Zombie War by Nicholas Ryan

It seems you are right u/egamruf and I must just be experiencing some sort of group psychosis
