Oof. Today's environment could not handle it. It'd be canceled from the jump. Unless it was presented in a girlpower/all-men-are-bad theme. Maybe change the ending to have her actually be the "wolf" that lured the wolf. Having her die, in bed, to the wolf, in such a way, would make it a social target. It would feature "Trigger warnings."

Studies have shown that, like those who inspired the telling of fairy tales (or what we think of as modern day FT), zombies are the fairy tale of our times and they are linked to our collective consciousness and our frailties and insecurities of our world. Themes that we are used to simply resurface and somehow, to us, this is something makers of media think we consistently need to see. Is it commentary on our current events?

Might I point out that Fairy Tales are no walk-in-the-park either. We all know that "Ring around the Roses" is about deaths stemming from the Bubonic Plague. Other examples are Three Blind Mice (executed bishops who refused to bow, essentially), Marry Mary Quite Contrary (Religious war brought by royalty), London Bridge (Brits attacked by the Norse and human sacrifice), Rub a dub dub (about peeping toms- it originated as 3 women in a tub), This Old Man (Brits disgusted at the Irish during the Potato Famine. Paddy whack? Yup. Not a nice term). It goes on and on. So, hail King Disney for his ability to bring light to these really dark, then-current events. I mean, he (Walter Elias Disney) was kind of an outlier himself, but he could draw...

I have always liked this version better. I'm willing to bet you've heard it, tapped your toes to it and have a memory surrounding it. Impressive how people sleep on this:

He is a marionette. And for reference, I'm a Lamborghini.
