“I think the idea of a zombie apocalypse is quite appealing, because it's one of the few apocalypses where you can fight back.”
What this quote means
Pegg, an actor and screenwriter, humorously explores the appeal of zombie apocalypses. Unlike other ends of the world, this one offers a tangible enemy and a possibility of resistance. This idea appeals because it embodies a rebellion against helplessness in modern crises.
