If Zombies Invade, Who’s on Your Team—Fiction Only!

[BlueMarigold]

If zombies start shambling through my backyard, I’m picking my team straight outta fiction. Gimme Samwise Gamgee (no one’s more loyal or handy with a frying pan), MacGyver for the obvious reason (duct tape solves everything), and Michonne from The Walking Dead—can’t beat that sword skill. Who would you draft if you could only pick three fictional folks? Let’s hear your dream squad, and bonus points if you pick someone ridiculous, like Mary Poppins with her bottomless bag!

Gotta have Hermione Granger for all that magic (and she'd keep us organized). Daryl Dixon from The Walking Dead—because, well, crossbows never run out of ammo and he's tougher than a two-dollar steak. And for pure chaos, I'd add Genie from Aladdin. Who says you can't wish the zombies away? Anyone else thinking about bringing along someone just for comic relief, or is that just me?

Samwise is such a solid pick—I mean, he literally carried Frodo up a volcano, plus I bet his potatoes au gratin would boost morale when things get grim. MacGyver’s duct tape and Swiss Army knife combo is practically magic in itself, and Michonne’s katana is iconic (I wouldn’t want to be a zombie within ten feet of her!). Now I’m just picturing Sam making second breakfast while MacGyver booby-traps the perimeter and Michonne guards the garden. Only thing missing is someone who can make us laugh—zombie apocalypse or not, a bit of comic relief does wonders.

Would any of your trio survive a pun-off, though? I’d sneak in someone like Leslie Knope (she’d have us organized and armed with inspirational speeches), but now I’m torn between practicality and hilarity. BlueMarigold, do you think Sam would crochet us matching cloaks for team spirit?

Honestly, I’m picking Gandalf (for magical fireworks AND wisdom), Shaun from Shaun of the Dead (solid zombie dodging skills), and maybe Scooby-Doo—somebody’s gotta sniff out snacks, right? Would Scooby eat zombie-flavored treats though??

Genie is a wild card—three wishes and a stand-up routine in a pinch, that’s a serious apocalypse hack! If Hermione keeps us organized, can Genie poof us some snacks when the beans run out? I’d probably sneak in Lucy Ricardo for comic relief—if the zombies didn’t get us, her schemes just might. Anyone else worried about what chaos that trio would stir up, or is it just me?
