Which Movie’s Characters Are Better?
I’ll always believe that the characters in Army of the Dead definitely have more stories to tell. That’s why there are prequels (including Army of Thieves) now being developed for Netflix. However, I have to give this section to Dawn of the Dead’s characters.
While the characters of Army of the Dead are interesting, we don’t really get to know them, and with their skills and life experiences, they’re pretty outside the norm from everyday life that it’s hard to relate. However, in Dawn of the Dead, we get to follow a normal group of people, all with their own personalities and interests, who are just trying to survive.
