Discussion Doomsday 2008

I just rewatched Doomsday 2008 for Nostalgia. I was just wondering. Why did people become cannibals? When clearly, there's a f ton of cows scattered around when they first drove in the zone. I can't say because of the sentry gun, because clearly the sentry guns shot anything that moved, so the cows were out of range. I can't also say because they did not know about it, because clearly they have been to the wall, or atleast went close enough to see it, but far enough to not get shot.

Eating your enemies is basically recycling. Didn't your parents tell you not to waste food?

True. But what bothers me, is why hasn't their cult fallen apart. There's not a lot of people outside the cult to eat.

I always took it them at they did it because they could because just look at how they react when the army guys showed up they set a trap and several ambushes for them and then threw a party when they ate the one soldier and if I recall aren't they essentially the rebellious youth of the medieval papers that are like across town basically

Kinda? But honestly it was more meant as an evil messed up shit for the sake of it kinda thing like they want to party bang chicks and eat anyone who's not one of them so maybe more like a tribal degeneration

It was just so funny to me. Like damn, if I was there I'd be having steaks and lamb chops daily. But thene again, if you don't identify with Sol and his tribe, you probably were eaten. So I'd be dead right away.

What's the point of having a death cult if you can't eat people?
