Resident Evil - Virgin Vampire Wine Mom vs Chad Magnetic Lebowski

[Michael Wade]

What on earth is going on here? It can't just be canon cleansing by the studio, since Capcom never GAF up to this point.

View attachment 2276855

Something must have been going on in the background. Im not sure what, but I plan to do a bit of digging when im done with the last chapter. I know the plan was to make the last 2 movies back to back, but something delayed the final chapter for almost 5 years. Typically they managed to crank each of these movies out every 2 to 4 years.

 

[Dom Cruise]

I actually had no idea they put so many characters from the games in the movies, I knew about Jill, Claire and Chris but not Leon and Barry, I think I knew about Ada but forgot.

I do remember Retribution getting pretty good buzz back when it came out, I had written the movies off after Apocalypse but you've got me curious to check them out myself now.

 

[KaibaCorp ToeSucker]

This is why a lot of people want a remake of CV. It actually needs one unlike RE4.

And yeah, Alfred is great. This game was funny as hell. I wouldn’t even trade the acting.

I'd give anything to get a Remake but we keep all the cheesy dialogue. Just shiny new paint n everything, but keep that good ol acting.
But whatever they did for Darkside Chronicles was pretty good. Maybe it's my nostalgia glasses talking though but if we went in that direction I wouldn't be mad.
But nothing is ever going to top the whole sequence of Steve jumping out a fuckin window outta nowhere, shooting the shit out of the bandersnatch and bein a dork trying to impress Claire.
"Don't worry Claire! Your knight in shining armor is here!"
"...You wish."

Slightly off topic but in a convo with my friend she brought up "As much as I like Remake Leon, it doesn't FEEL like Leon. Steve in DC looks more like he'd fit reboot Leon than what we got."
As much as I like Remake Leon, she has a point. I think for me it's really like a jaw line thing so when the REmake for 4 gets brought up my mind can't see Remake 2 strong jawline baby faceish Leon becoming the RE4 Leon we're used to. It just doesn't mesh well in my mind at all.

Every time I think this way, I just tell myself "it's only a few of them. There are always assholes in any community. I'm just seeing more of them now because there's more of them out of the closet."

But I find myself having to say that a good half-dozen times a day now, and it's getting to the point where you have to wonder if you're just sticking your head in the sand, like a British liberal in the late 1700s who doesn't quite believe the rumors about the Jacobins, an American socialist of the early 20th century who hasn't yet accepted the horror stories coming out of Germany and Russia, or an Umbrella Corp employee c. 2013 who thinks the Wuhan stuff is just some racist conspiracy theory spread by that horrible man, President Benford.


I've never actually played CV, but if you have, I was wondering...

There's a family member of mine who is very fond of Resident Evil. Her favorite characters in the entire franchise are Claire, and Steve Burnside.

Now, Claire, I know, is fine. I like her a lot. She's not in my top five RE characters, but I fully support her interest in Claire.

What's Steve Burnside like though? Is he any good? Is it appropriate that she ships Claire and Steve?

Late as fuck but I'm pretty sure i'm younger than some of the people in this thread probably so I guess i'll give my 2 cents and i'm the resident Steve fag I guess.
But damn does your family member remind me of when I was a kid and i'll just put my spurging under a spoiler so I don't clog up the thread more than I have to. Also major spoiler warning for the game if you care.

TBH, Steve i've noticed for my time in the fandom is either You love him or you hate him I think it really boils down to which game you played either CV/CVX or Darkside Chronicles. I'm biased and I like him a lot so maybe take my stuff with a grain of salt.

Spoiler: Steve spurging incoming

Original game wise, he's kinda a whiney little snot but it's cause he's a 17 year old put in jail with his dad and he has a dead mom. TLDR: Dad sold umbrella secrets, umbrella wasn't havin it so they came to the burnside home, killed the mom, and the dad and Steve in jail on Rockfort island. Later on the dad is a zombie and Steve kills him and he has a minor emo moment
He acts like a teenager, and does the love at first sight thing with Claire (who i'm p sure was 19 in CV so idk if age matters to you for some reason). But over the course of the story you can see him go from cocky "I have trust issues" to mature-ish "I want to GTFO of here and also protect the girl I have a crush on" which is really cute in my opinion. However, he turns into a B.O.W. and then cheesy as it sounds, the power of love prevails, and homeboy dies and his death had me in absolute tears since he told Claire he loved her before he died. Maybe it's cause I'm a Cleve shipper myself and there's plenty of material out there for it, but it's very one sided since Steve is in love with Claire and she's like "cool I wanna go home and find my brother."
TLDR: CV/CVX Steve can be described as sad dorky horny teen. If your curious he doesn't change in CVX, he just get's the emo flap hair cut cause in CV he had the DiCaprio hair which I'm pretty sure got changed due to fear of lawsuits.

Darkside Chronicles (a nutshell reimagining of CV essentially) They made Steve more mature than his original game counterpart. I'd argue he has more chemistry with Claire in this game since unlike the original, DC is one of those light gun games and Steve's your partner up until the final chapter. He's still the sad horny dork in love, but he's more fleshed out and isn't nearly as grating at the first incarnation of him since he's more "Hey I too want to get off this island, let's go while I still try to flirt on the sidelines". DC really did him some justice in fleshing him out outside of annoying teen boy and giving him more of a personality than "dork boy who just pops up from time to time due to being a nuisance". Not much to say here really since nothing really changes story wise with Steve since DC hits everything nearly beat for beat, but if your family member ships them I think in this version of the game Steve puts his jacket on Claire when they're in Antarctica, compared to in the original game where he gives her some space.

But yea there's nothing wrong with your family member being a Cleve shipper since there's nothing inappropriate as far as I know. However it's just really one-sided on Steve's end since you can interpret Claire as either seeing him as a poor kid stuck in this shit show, or she may have had feelings at the end for him due to what goes down. It's really up to interpretation.

EDIT: fixed photo links and a dumbass error on my part.

Barry Burton....the only resident evil character who doesn't hoard magnum ammo till the final boss.

 

[Jerri's Kid]

Is it worth playing through RE Zero? I'm tempted to set it on easy and just rush through the story because I usually finish every Resident Evil game I play. I don't like the fact that you have to control two characters and Rebecca only seems to be useful for making herbal medicine. I know you can dump all your inventory on the ground but I find that annoying, and all of the bosses I've encountered so far have been giant bugs so it's not been interesting. I played RE 1, 2, and 3 when they were new and enjoyed them very much so I'm not turned off by tank controls, but for some reason I'm not having fun with this game.

 

[JamesFargo]

Is it worth playing through RE Zero? for some reason I'm not having fun with this game.

Protip:

If the internet calls it "one of the most underrated, if not THE BEST film/game/character in the series" then it's probably shit.

It's no secret that 0 is one of the less-popular ones. Backtracking is incredibly tedious. The game is rather unfair since you never know when Billy and Rebecca will split up. Utterly fails as a prequel, which dampers the fun for hardcore fans.

I played RE 1, 2, and 3 when they were new and enjoyed them very much

It sounds like a contradiction but it's really not. Sooner or later, fatigue sets in and convention becomes cliché.

 

[elzaw]

What's Steve Burnside like though? Is he any good? Is it appropriate that she ships Claire and Steve?

Was about to post my two cents but KaibaCorp above beat me to it.

DSC Cleve is a hot couple. Chris Redfield would approve

Is it worth playing through RE Zero?

I'd say yes, even if for artstyle and Wesker mode only. Admittedly, I have nostalgia goggles on for this game and I like Rebecca. Interesting that they included factory levels from RE2 that the remake ended up cutting. Leech hunter is fun. I used to play this game a lot as a kid, so I didn't find it tedious, but ultimately this is up to the taste.

 

[Dom Cruise]

So CV has grown on me fast, while graphically it's dated I still like this game a lot, it takes a bit to get cooking but when it does it's great, it's managed to creep me out and scare me a pretty good bit.

And the Residence is one of my favorite locales in any Resident Evil game, I love how much it anticipates Haunting Ground (same writer) but it's in a Resident Evil game, although it's too bad there's not more to it, but it leaves a big impact, which also anticipates Donna's encounter in 8.

It is a shame about the graphics, would have been cool to see it with pre-rendered graphics, but gameplay wise it still holds up.

Also I think I've discovered something lore wise in revisiting the older games as it pertains to the series' potential future, so RE8 really pushes the idea of the "4 lords of the village" as it corresponds to the 4 corners of the Umbrella emblem, right? Well with regards to the founders of the Umbrella corporation itself there were only... 3 founders, could there have been a secret 4th founder this whole time?

I would say yes, I get that the game has some flaws, but it's so damn stunning looking, I mean that opening train sequence is something else.

The "drop any item anywhere" mechanic wasn't super well thought out though.

well one script for RE: CV was that Steve was meant to be Leon before capcom said no because they were making RE4 and they didn't wanna kill off the character which is ironic because one development version of RE4 had Leon die and RE:Gaiden also implied Leon was dead

I ended up loving RE0 despite its flaws, played through it three times back to back + played the shit out of the bonus game Leech Hunter.

That said, I'm going to lean towards no. The story isn't anything to write home about (seriously, just skim through wiki and you're golden), bosses and enemies are quite annoying, and while I like Billy as a character, he is barely, if at all, mentioned in other entries and has zero impact on the universe.

(Maybe that's why the game's called Zero? ).

If you're not having fun with the game already, nothing's going to change that. I guess you can soldier through it if you really want to finish every RE game, though. It's about 8-10 hours long on your first playthrough.

Yes.

It's Akuma.

It wasn't, but at the same time, it was refreshing to be able to do so. How many times have we all played any other RE game and thought "Why can't I just fucking drop this?".

I read somewhere that the fans petitioned Capcom to ditch the item boxes. Not sure if that's true, though.

I know people wanted to be able to drop items, but doing away with item boxes would be a bit much. My guess is a small group thought the boxes did too much to break their suspension of disbelief and bitched about it.

Edit: Most of the actors knew they were in a shit-burger, so nobody signed a multi-film deal. Characters and arcs had to abandoned when they refused to come back

Wesker and Claire comeback for the final, but that’s it im afraid. They either couldn’t get the rest due to scheduling conflicts (Ada Wong). Or the actors wanted to do it, but never got the call to show. (Jill)


So here we are at Resident Evil The final chapter...... This is definitely the worst movie in the franchise. Especially when it comes to continuity, as up until this point the series had relatively consistent character motivations and a decent timeline. The Camera, editing and fight Choreography has taken a dive in quality too. That’s not to say there aren’t neat looking fights or concepts in this movie. It still has a little imagination and spunk, but we are going from the clear cut fights of Retribution into Bourne identity shaky cam territory. It does give some form of closure to Alice’s story, but man was this a shitty rush job ending to this franchise.

Remember that awesome fight teased at the end of retribution? Completely skipped. We do at least get to see the destruction porn after everything’s said and done. But it doesn’t even dignify us with an opening teaser like afterlife did. Complete fucking cop out. Leon Jill and Ada are nowhere to be seen, as Alice is the only one left standing. The movie’s narration is mercifully vague, but the novels attempt to fill in the blanks by saying that everybody was fucking killed by Wesker. I choose not to believe this, because it’s absolutely retarded. (Deaf clone daughter is fine in the book though, because sure.)

And this brings us to the two most maligned characters in the movie. Wesker and the Red Queen.

Wesker has got the worst of it. Up until this movie he was presented as either the ultimate big bad or somebody working to be humanity’s new ruler. Here? He’s playing second fiddle to the “real” leader of umbrella. Which is just something game Wesker wouldn’t fucking do. He’s the ultimate backstabber and doesn’t really work for anyone but himself. The worst part is when the film outright retcons the ending of retribution.


According to Alice he only pretended to give her powers back… What kind of retardation is this!? More than anything else this was the most unbelievable bullshit in the movie. The idea that Wesker would just break Alice out of umbrella’s prison, unite all of humanity under his rule. And then just decide to go fuck it and kill everybody to be somebody else’s underling. I mean correct me if im wrong but isn’t this basically his wet dream in RE5? To lead the remnants of humanity in a world that has mostly been cleansed by zombies or plagas shit? I mean granted nobody has super virus powers but him and Alice, but that could have been the central conflict of the movie. Between Wesker’s desire to create a new human race, and Alice’s to restore humanity. Wasted opportunity for an enemy mine situation. It’s also such a cheap half assed excuse to not have her using Jedi powers too. I honestly missed that shit from the first trilogy. Yes it was stupid, but it was AWESOMELY stupid. (And in hindsight, better executed then Disney star wars.)


And then there’s the red queen.. hoo boy. They make her a good girl in this. Despite being evil as shit in retribution.

Granted it’s a bit easier to buy sense she’s a computer program, but it really just expects you to pretend she wasn’t going all Skynet in the last film with a fucking handwave that she was ordered to do it. If we only take the first movie into account, this makes sense. As her methods, while extreme were designed to prevent an outbreak at any cost and preserve lives. However in retribution she oversaw and managed an entire facility designed to use clones as cannon fodder for zombies. There was no signs of remorse or any kind of hesitation. Her role in this would have been far better suited to the nicer White Queen introduced in Extinction, but the writers completely forgot about her.

She’s also being played by Milla Jovovich’s daughter, so there’s a bit of nepotism involved. She does a good job acting . I just wish her lines and character were better implemented.


So anyway… Alice starts driving a military jeep around before getting into a tussle with one of the winged monsters from retribution. Kinda looks like a zerg from starcraft.

She runs it over and kills it with a claymore mine.

The red queen then contacts Alice after she fights some zombies that look like they wandered out of The Hills Have Eyes. Saying she wants Alice to stop her and that she knows of an airborne antivirus that can kill all the T virus zombies. (I am still salty that the Alice blood cure plotline was forgotten… Oh I just realized! All the fucking zombies have las plagas now so that T virus shit shouldn’t work! Lol )

This virus is conveniently located in the underground hive from the first movie. She has about 48 hours or so to get there and release it, before the Red Queen is ordered to kill all remaining 4500 survivors on earth. No pressure

So Alice makes her way there before hitting a roadblock and getting into one of the few decent fights of the movie.

Then she tries to steal an umbrella bike and gets shocked unconscious. When she wakes she comes face to face with the true villain of the franchise. Dr Isaac!

Im not gonna lie, this guy was legit one of the few bright spots in this movie. You may remember him as generic evil mad scientist man from the 2nd and 3rd films. Well it turns out Alice killed a clone and he’s come back with more Ham and cheese than ever before. They’ve retconned him in the beginning narration to be the head of umbrella, who killed his business partner and forcibly co-owned the company with said partners daughter. This is stupid, but I can roll with it.

He shows up in this armored vehicle covered with crosses, a bunch of people in cages and severed Alice clone heads, prancing around like he’s this antichrist coming to wash the world of its sins. It almost made me forget this was a shitty movie.

We have a fun scene where Alice is tied to the back of his vehicle and made to run from zombies before escaping, killing a couple guys and cutting off Isaacs hand to ride the motorcycle to safety.


Then she meets up with a bunch of survivors led by Claire, who conveniently crash landed outside the outskirts of raccoon city after Afterlife and set up shop. Don’t worry about the nuclear radiation guys, it’s totally fine.

Claire’s party of survivors are even more forgettable then the ones from Afterlife, but at least they are not as annoying. There’s sword man, black guy, plucky girl and Claire’s boyfriend.

Chris is pleased

They have an obligatory zombie siege that was kinda fun. Although he editing and lighting is all over the place, so much so that at one point I thought Claire got killed in the confusion, before realizing it was just some random chick.

Alice gets a tri shotgun because rule of the cool

Then they burn the shit out of the zombies by luring them into a skyscraper and creating a river of fire.

Then Alice gets into a kung fu fight.

Isaac gets away of course, but they managed to clear out the zombies and assemble a redshirt strike team to go into the hive.


There’s a legitimately good sequence that reminded me of the opening of RE1, where they are running the hell away from big ass plagas dogs

Finally they manage to get inside and make contact with the Red queen. She starts providing exposition on Isaac and shows a chilling in hindsight video of him explaining his rationale for wiping out all human life on earth.

Man with a better script this movie really could have worked.



So it turns out one of them is a traitor, yada yada ya. They all start getting picked off one by one. Alice fights a monster that looks like it came out of dead space and after a bunch of forgettable shit I can’t remember she eventually manages to make her way towards Wesker and the red queen.

You’re probably wondering what Wesker has been doing this whole time. Well he’s just been standing around in the mainframe of the hive, activating security features like some kind of dungeon master villain. It’s quite a step down I must say. Eventually he decides that he needs to wake someone.


Here I was hoping we get something cool like.. say a tyrant. But NOPE. It’s another Isaac!

This time he’s the real one, but he’s so augmented out the ass he’s practically a terminator.


Alice manages to make it to him with Claire’s boyfriend, but it turns out he was traitor for no reason.

GODDAMIT


Alice starts flashing of ways to kill Isaac, but he counters with his own flashes of killing her. All an obvious rip off of the ending of Sherlock homes.

Then it’s revelations time! As he clarifies that Alice is a clone of that umbrella co-founder's daughter!

This pissed off a lot of people, but I actually don’t mind her being a clone. Even from the beginning of this franchise, her backstory was vague enough that I had her pegged as some kind of test tube creation. It’s just that they’ve dropped this little revelation with the grace and subtlety of an elephant. For whatever reason Issac kept the real Alice (who is an old woman due to some kind of aging disease) just so she could conveniently confirm and explain the situation to clone Alice.

No she is not turning into a zombie.





Then old real Alice pulls a Robocop on Wesker and… oh mannn it’s so hilariously shit.

He gets killed by a door. Wesker gets his fucking leg caught in an elevator door and lies down like a bitch for the rest of the movie.



Traitor boyfriend realizes Alice stole the bullets to his gun and gets wasted by Claire.


Then we have a badly cut end fight with Alice, Claire and Isaac. It actually gets a little competent at the end, but man… I hope you like 7 cuts a second.

Finally she beats his ass, gets the anti virus and…… walks out side to simply break it open. No dispersal system. No mass production. Just one throw the vial of ooze on the ground and virus be gone! Man this is stupid.


But not before Real Isaac tries to stop her, before getting killed by religious clone Issac, who is promptly devoured by zombies….

Im tired of describing how needlessly complex this movie is.

Finally she throws this thing to the ground. All the zombies next to her die, The Nest gets blown up. (Which contains a bunch of cryogenically frozen umbrella employees, A substantial number of which are probably innocent civilians.) And the world is kinda, sorta saved. The film isn’t stupid enough to say this gas is gonna cover every corner of the earth immediately. So now Alice has to go wander from place to place exterminating monsters for all her days. cue the credits and happy music!



I am a charitable man, and I tried to overlook the glaring flaws of continuity, but this is such a underwhelming and sad end to a fairly enjoyable popcorn franchise. There were moments of promise here and there. Moments that could have worked if they rearranged certain aspects and followed up more on the previous film. But you can tell the energy just isn’t there anymore. There’s no longer the same driver behind the wheel. Even Milla Jovovich feels like she’s just kinda going through the motions. She’s not bad or anything, but she was lacking… passion.


I think I know why. This movie ended up seriously harming 2 people in its production. One crew member was killed by being run over by a jeep and Milla’s stuntwoman hit a camera crane and lost an arm due to negligence from stunt coordinators. I would imagine that cast a shadow over the entire production depending on when it happened, as those scenes happen early on in the movie. Such a dam shame.


Details on what happened production wise are scarce, Anderson was supposed to film the final chapter in late 2013 after finishing up his Pompeii movie, before it got pushed back two years. It’s possible that film fucked up his schedule, I dunno. There’s a special feature that describes how the hills have eyes zombie suits had to made in 3 days, so they were clearly rushing this.



They really should have ended this franchise at Afterlife. Anderson didn’t want cliffhanger at the end of that movie, but he was sadly overruled by executives. I dont regret this ride along. It was fun while it lasted, but they just couldn't stick the landing.

 

[JamesFargo]

the actors wanted to do it, but never got the call to show. (Jill)

Fuck Anderson with an Erlenmeyer flask.

I'm not gonna lie, this guy was legit one of the few bright spots in this movie.

Iain Glen is worth his weight in gold. He could run Shinra Incorporated, no problem.

He was also the heavy in Tomb Raider. Sailed through it with confidence. Speaking of which, his scheme here is identical to the one in Cradle of Life.

Alice is a clone of that umbrella co-founder's daughter!

1994 called, they want their plot twist back.

 

[Dom Cruise]

Yes.

It's Akuma.



It wasn't, but at the same time, it was refreshing to be able to do so. How many times have we all played any other RE game and thought "Why can't I just fucking drop this?".

You joke, but I do wonder what a cross over between Resident Evil and Street Fighter would be like, I mean there's already been characters from both series in Marvel vs Capcom games.

View attachment 2280884

Oh , they took Claire's look directly from Revelations 2, how about that.

2017 was also the year of the last Underworld movie, wasn't it? It was also the year of the XXX sequel that brought back Vin Diesel, it's interesting to think of there being these cultural connections between 2002/2003 and 2017.

 

[Michael Wade]

Fuck Anderson with an Erlenmeyer flask.

I dont know how much of this is his fault. while my two favorites Apocalypse and Extinction were not directed by him, he did do a good job with the 1st and 5th movies. Afterlife at least finished strong in the fun department.

Iain Glen is worth his weight in gold.

I would definitely keep him as a bad guy in a rewrite. Just need to rearrange things so that there's less cringe, Keep Wesker on the side of the good guys till the end, and have more RE heros in the Hive strikeforce.

If they were really hurting for money, they should have hand-waved Alice not getting her powers back right away and save it for the end.

 

[Coldgrip]

You joke, but I do wonder what a cross over between Resident Evil and Street Fighter would be like, I mean there's already been characters from both series in Marvel vs Capcom games.

I joke, but I absolutely don't want Capcom to cross universes. God knows they'd drop the ball. Besides, that'd open up the whole magic/chi angle from SF in the RE-verse and if they go that route in a game, it'd wind up be a lame version of Silent Hill.

Granted, I like the idea of Shoryuken-ing a zombie, but that'd make for a kind of dumb RE game.

Pretty sure it's this. The first time I started noticing Canadian accents was playing Mega Man Legends funny enough.

YES! Megaman is now a legit actor. The mayor was voiced by Sailor Jupiter too.

I'm only talking a "what if?" thing, not a canon entry.

I honestly think it'd be cool to see Street Fighter characters rendered in the RE engine.
