Giroux uses the metaphor of the zombie to highlight how America has embraced a machinery of social and civil death that chills any vestige of a robust democracy. When Dieter meets Tanaka in the flesh shortly after, he's too busy worrying about political correctness to let on that he's already deeply familiar with liberating Bly's finances. In the second edition of Zombie Politics and Culture in the Age of Casino Capitalism, Henry A. When Scott Ward and Maria Cruz first approach Dieter with an offer to join their crew, the German makes no reference whatsoever to cracking Bly Tanaka's vaults in the past (even though this is absolutely something you would mention). Why are Gwendoline's group targeting this rich guy specifically, out of all possible rich guys? Why does Tanaka use different vaults each time? Why hasn't a billionaire heard of online banking? The biggest twist would be if one of Bly's three Army of Thieves vaults doesn't contain money at all, but some kind of secret cargo or file that explains more about the zombies' extra-terrestrial origins.īly Tanaka's Army of Thieves role also raises questions over Dieter's reaction to seeing him in Army of the Dead. Army of Thieves could potentially reveal vital clues about Bly Tanaka that weren't given in Army of the Dead.
