Worst apocalypse scenario to live in?

[Fromdusktilldawn]

Considering the place you live at right now, what movie situation would be the least survivable? In which one would it be the hardest to survive. Let's consider no plot armor, unrealistic or too convenient victory (like the ending of War of the Worlds, The Mist or Independence day)

extremely fast zombies with high stamina, one drop of blood in any orifice/open wound is enough, transformation in just 10 seconds

zombies almost impossible to kill, remaining intelligence (ability to basic talk and ambush), smoke of incinerated zombies can spread infection through rain, transformation within a few hours

organized alien attack with tripod vehicles to exterminate and farming specific live humans for their blood, city areas are first targeted and then remaining humans are hunted down

a 5000km tall alien ship plants itself on earth eradicating everything standing in its path with gravitational manipulation (no chance to survive under the ship), considering the unrealistic fact we don't have the alien tech as in the movie we stand no chance against their air force and infantry

artificial intelligence launches all of the US' nukes to destroy every major city around the world, remaining humans are hunted down by flying drones or terminators

earthquakes of extreme magnitudes appearing on major hazardous geographic plate boundaries destroy everything, every volcano erupts, 1500-3000m tall tsunamis roam around the continents making only mountain ranges safe places

a dense fog (less than 10m visibility) full of hostile/predatory creatures of all forms covers everything

I'm in Florida; even our guns have guns. Zombies, aliens, terminators, and extradimensional manifestations of tribe-level impulses pose a threat (even WITHOUT directorial cheap shots), but I'd be a lot safer here than back in Chicago. But if every volcano erupted- even if it was just the ones on Earth- we'd see weather effects that make "nuclear winter" look like a JOKE. The last time a supervolcano blew, it almost wiped out the human race, and that was just ONE of them.

A threat you can hide from, you have a CHANCE with. Without the sun? No, we're toast.

How about half a population is brainwashed and votes for in incompetent, senile old man for president. The country falls into a dystopia full of rising prices, crime, illegal alien invaders and shortages of just about everything.

Thanks for the MHO😎

The earthquakes seem the most survivable to me in this scenario: not for all, but maybe a few.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

True, especially if you live far away from the shoreline and any geographic plate border

[HighlyVolatile]

I'm going by how these things might be in real life, not those films. Like if the aliens were as dumb as they were in Independence Day, that might not spell doom for mankind... or if the terminators were so dumb as in Terminator Salvation, also not so bad. But the real deal would probably be much more hopeless to survive against.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

Yea I also meant it by realism. So in War of the Worlds or Independence Day the you're not protected by plot armor and the aliens are as intelligent as an interstellar travelling species should be.

[HighlyVolatile]

... or War of the Worlds if the aliens just end up getting sick and dying. I'd go with that one if that's the case! We just need to hide and survive long enough until they die on their own.

[HighlyVolatile]

I see! Yes, in that case, I think we're all doomed by pretty much every one of these options with only a smallest fighting chance against the earthquakes. :-D

[Fromdusktilldawn]

That would never happen. An alien race so smart and who planned the attack thousands of years before would never make such a noob mistake. Its like NASA would send Astronauts to the moon without a suit

[HighlyVolatile]

Yeah, I always found most of these very silly! And an autonomous artificial intelligence of the sort in Terminator films would probably outsmart us and learn and learn so much so quickly.

[HighlyVolatile]

I figure with the aliens in Independence Day, War of the Worlds, and the AI in Terminator: Salvation, outsmarting them is probably even more hopeless than outgunning them (and that's definitely hopeless). Might be able to outsmart the zombies in the first two options, but they seem too contagious and too deadly to outlast them. The Mist just seems hopeless as well although that one is sort of a question mark to me.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

I agree

[MysticDevice]

2012 would be the worst. You can shoot aliens, zombies, and creatures, but you can't shoot nature.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

I'd like to see you shoot an alien space ship the size of a continent

[MysticDevice]

Wouldn't be my first time.

Read Quran

[NamerOfStars]

... How is that an apocalypse?

[flirtatiousgirl]

@NamerOfStars read Quran understand me what I say

[NamerOfStars]

I HAVE read the Quran. I'm not saying I fully understood it, but the world DID fail to end.
