i actually think pride & prejudice & zombies would be a good concept if you cut out the mid 00's orientalism and really focused on the idea of a zombie non-apocalypse where society has changed to accommodate the threat but not actually collapsed

#everything is still attempting to function as napoleon-era england complete with the byzantine layers of social customs and manners #except also you have to fight hordes of the undead in hand-to-hand combat in a ballgown while not appearing too 'unladylike'#and that's why dawn of the dreadfuls was better than the 'original'#well. that and the way it didn't try to fit the characters/plot of p&p and instead was more of its own thing #the 'original' didn't actually understand the characters of p&p well enough to carry the story (i say as someone who doesn't even like p&p)#which is fine bc it's only meant to be a parody. but still it could've been a GOOD parody #if you saw this and decided to read them; by 'orientalism' i mean rich people have ninja guards & the bennet girls all practice #very 'kill bill vol 2' kung fu. it is shallow and gross and inaccurate and while theres worse things out there...do you really need this?
