From what I have listened too online, the Shadowman apparently wants to trap them and torture them? Why does he choose these 4 specifically? And why did he turn everyone else besides those 4 into zombies?
But what still doesn’t’t make sense is that the MoTD crew are given very effective ways to fight the zombies (perks, wonder weapon, golden spork, etc) and even have the ability to break the cycle
So why did the Shadowman have the intention of trapping and torturing them for some reason, while also giving them a way to break the cycle.

Was it The Shadowman that did that?

Something something warden pocket dimension, shadowman did it because he needed richtofen’s blood (blood of the dead shows the mechanism used to take richtofen’s blood)
Mob wasnt always a hellish nightmare, it was standard alcatraz at first – the cycle they’re in keeps repeating, but the prison’s environment stays the same. For example, if weasel were to hang up a drawing and die, he’d be sent back as a loop but the drawing would still be there. They’ve been in so many cycles that the prison turned from a normal prison to literal hell – this also explains why there is a map showing all the plane parts in the starting room – weasel noted everything down for them but died before they could use that information, but thanks to the permanent prison the map and notes stayed
Hope this helps!

this is like… their afterlife. those 4 tried to escape, but the other 3 betrayed Al and killed him. then they are electrocuted. Mob of the Dead is them being forced to live through that cycle over and over and over again until Al (Weasel) manages to break it by successfully killing the other 3.

Because Shadowman wasn’t written in the plot yet. MotD was nothing but a fun side map with 0 plot relevance. Then BO3, comics and the timeline retconned it to matter.

Eh- it shouldn’t have been retconned. It being a standalone zombies story was good enough. Not everything has to be a big connected Zombies Interactive Universe

The explanation isn’t great, unfortunately. That’s why I think the map works best when viewed as a standalone, where the Zombies are just a manifestation of the suffering of their Purgatory.
