Army Of The Dead: 10 Most Savage Deaths Ranked
6. Zeus
Zeus is the leader of the pack who we come to know well. He's strong, smart, and sensitive - all things zombies normally aren't.
It's because of these aspects that bring into question if the Alpha zombies are even monster to begin with or just another breed of person. While he is framed as the antagonist, Zeus's humanity and resilience make him feel like anything but.
His characterization makes his death by a simple bullet to the head feel so savagely undeserved. After everything Zeus goes through and everything we see him do, he dies like any other regular zombie.
Even though the slowed down shot of his head exploding from Ward's bullet is in of itself a brutal sight, it's the fact that he was taken down as if he were just one of the many random zombies slayed throughout the film that makes the whole thing feel borderline disrespectful.
Zeus was an absolutely great character who met an ending completely unfit for him. Poor guy deserved so much better.
