I wonder what Alice's zombie body count is? Can't find a number on the 'net.

well... it depends.... are we counting Alice clones? Anyway... my guess would be all of them

Of course! We wouldn't want to leave anyone out! Her and the clones couldn't have killed all of them, there'd be no sequels! Poor cloned girl is going to go through some bad times this time around.

I kinda assumed afterlife was taking place between 2 and 3... is it not?

Well, she does have the T-Virus right? Do zombies have souls? Technically, isn't she a hybrid zombie/human? I wonder if your soul gets recycled when you get cloned or do you get a new one? You may get your old memories, but, what if it's one soul per body, you get a brand spanking new soul?

Being a zombie sure is complicated.

In the case of T-Virus Zombies... I would have to say no soul... the reason being the T-Virus kills then reanimates cells. So I would assert that a T-virus is less of a living organism then millions of dead cells working in concert to act out the normal virus type behavior (Feed destoy move on) And that Res Evil 3 showed us a more powerful zombie type it did not show any behavioral change or evolution. Alice and that big thing from RE2 were both exceptions in that the T-Virus wasn't destroying killing the living cells instead it was enhancing... some sort of symbiotic relationship with the Antibodies they both had? Or maybe the Anti bodies killing off the virus at the same speed as it replicates? If that later is the case it would have to be combined with a greatly enhance metabolism as well... new muscle tissue replicating as fast as its destroyed would give you near infinite stamina since none of the cells would live long enough to get tired and wounds would be healed way faster then normal... and the constant destruction would likely put the body in a flight or flight state that constantly releases adrenaline explaining the seemingly super human strength reflexes and senses... The question becomes though... that kind of constant mass destruction of ones body... wouldn't that cause constant pain?

CES your our resident scientist whats your opinion?

Oh I forgot the doctor at the end.... injected himself with a modified version of the virus. And though he was mutated and showed increased aggression but did not display any of the traits of other t-virus Zombies

If the soul resides in the cells, or arises from the interactions amongs cells, then these two thoughts follow. The clones would also have souls- because cells replicate and die all the time, so if a cell was taken out of the original host and reproduced elsewhere then there would be a duplicate soul also. Killing the cells and replacing them would likely wipe out the soul- though in an ongoing process it would be difficult to say at what point the change occurs.

And that Res Evil 3 showed us a more powerful zombie type it did not show any behavioral change or evolution.

didn't the zombies start working together? or am i thinking of the wrong movie?

The virus could live off the same amount of energy (or less) as the cells it replaced. If the virus was more energy efficient, then metabolic needs would be reduced to whatever it is that zombies gain from eating people. So, the enhanced stamina could come from the energy efficiency and the body can better tolerate being in overdrive. If the pain receptors are among the first things to go, and they are not replaced, then the ongoing destruction of the body wouldn't be a problem at all from a pain standpoint. And the fact that zombies tend to fall apart over time without noticing is consistent with feeling no pain.
