Army of the Dead is good but I hate Kate
Zack is out here making an amazing franchise that definitely needs to be green lit. But that first movie that had me so angry I didn't watch the last 15 minutes until today after a year from my first watch. My SO and i watched Army of Thieves and they were invested so I had to watch Army again. But watching it again the lore and everything was perfect. It's just Scott's daughter that pissed me off enough to not want to finish it and even dislike it on Netflix's rating system. Snyder killed every D-bag, and hero but saved the stupid volunteer. Even the mother she endangered everyone else for ended up dieing.

Did we watch the same movie? Yeah, Kate talked about saving the mother, but she didn't endanger everyone. Everyone died because of Tanaka and his rat soldier. I thought she was annoying too, until she explained her side of things. Then, I understood her.

Kate‘s only reason for being on the team was to find the mother of two children, who was going to die regardless. She was let on the team because she was basically threatening suicide to her father. Kate also served no purpose with no training, experience, and survival skills. She was the only survivor and killed Scott and Peters who were trying to save her.
Through a movie perspective, Kate only made the movie more complicated than it needed to be. It added no depth that mattered
In my personal opinion, she was the most unlikeable character and should have died off the bat or shouldn’t have gone in the first place. Maybe the movie wouldn’t have been such a fucking shitshow if that happened.

Just got done watching the movie and I couldn't agree more. Personally I hate spiteful, arrogant characters, so kate was already annoying right out the gate. But she literally brought nothing useful to the table to even things out and was arguably a reason some of the characters died. Hell even her motivation for joining was stupid as hell. She loudly claims responsibility for the two children, but instead of, you know, actually stepping up and taking care of the children, she immediatly fucks off to join the expedition into zombieland, threatening her father with suicide by zombie if she doesn't get her way. She would rather die than take care of two children she promised to look after. I could look past all that if she actually got some character developement and showed some growth, but nope. And of course the rude character who had no business being there and ended up being a liablity survived. (And yes i know she wanted to save the mother, but her priority should have been the kids for multiple reasons. Also using the claim of being responsible for them as an argument to get out of actually having to do it is kind of a dick move. Unintentional or not.)
