Night of the Mini Dead
Episode 4 of Love, Death & Robots Season 3 is the shortest chapter of the whole season, an amusing jab at the often overused zombie apocalypse trope. However, the beginning is rather unconventional, showing two little figures having sex and unintentionally starting the apocalypse to follow. A spire falls from the top of a church, fires begin and zombies rise up from the ground. ..
The city is overwhelmed by the horde, and a montage shows all of this in its glorious, violent delight. Flamethrowers and rockets do well to hold off the horde for a while, but eventually it’s all too much. With a nuclear explosion causing the zombies to mutate and become far more ferocious, all the nations across the planet decide to turn nukes against Earth, ending everything with a massive explosion. Or, well, it would be if we were close. The camera zooms right out to the Milky Way, where our existence is wiped out with far less aplomb.
