    Alex summarized the thought process of the creators best: 10:56
    "This is Resident Evil."
    "It doesn't feel like it."
    "No, it is! We bought the licenses and everything!"

      There was a certain scene in the beginning of episode 1 where Wesker answers the phone and he's walking up the stairs because he mentioned he had to take the phone call. He says Wesker when he answers and I'm assuming he was talking to Wesker so I was thinking okay great this guy is just a third party character who's going to end up doing something crazy because his character is played by a famous actor but as it turns out no actually LOL that is Wesker. that's what I realized the show was taking a different route until I learned that it is a continuation of the games and that's when I'm hoping that they are all clones and we see some semblance of any other characters from the games to maybe hopefully bring this show full circle.

      Agreed and they could kind of get away with this of the properly hinted in the main course of the story you know like the one from the game if you don’t like survivors that may be met them at one point or maybe to talk about tidbits about the actual game like what the actual main characters in resident evil we’re like going through if they were just like this oh this is happening right there we have to avoid this whole thing and that would’ve seemed kind of cool if it was just survivors and that sends it would still give you a sense of all this really is resident evil but it doesn’t do that It kind of sucks because of that if you know how to do it well they didn’t they wouldn’t have to do a whole copy paste of the game which I still think they should do they could do something like in the same timeframe in the same universe in a different area and properly hint at the main purpose of the story which is the characters in the game and what they’re going through like raccoon city oh we were in the edge of raccoon city and blah blah blah and we have to go through it to get to the other side block and they maybe they cut them right when they were leading the train in Resident evil two they were supposed to get on it they completely fucking missed it something went wrong they have to go a completely different way that would’ve worked they are not taking any intentive to go towards the story itself

      to be honest the best resident evil show would probably would not be in the point of view of one of the main characters but more of a survivor. like small stories during the zombie out break or from multiple zombie out breaks we know happen in the resident evil games. black summer did this point of view thing where you feel like your rewatching a whole episode from someone else point of view to fill in plot holes which i hated but here may make sense. each of the survivor stories could connect. we can have on survivor story that does make it towards the end which gives hope to the audience.
      example: one of the survivor stories could be a bus full of passengers trying to make it cross a bridge to the other side but their story ends with them running and pushing vehicles out of the way with said bus. their bus makes it towards the end but crashes due to mutated zombie. the driver decides to blow up the bus and its 125 gallon fuel tank as a last ditch fuck you to the mutated zombie that just killed everyone and is stalking outside the bus. the explosion begins another story of a group who sees the bridge is clear and the fireball, since the mutated zombie is badly wounded and on the run the second group doesnt meet it and makes it safely thru. this group demise or actions effects another story that pops up with this one is over. in the end only one group makes it or a special character does with the goal being just to survive. they can even show the bau that christ redfield works for in action using tactics to subdue the zombies with the story characters actions playing a key difference from luring zombies away from a drop off point, killing highly dangerous mutated beast so soldiers wouldnt not being overwhelm or even weaken specifics ones so chris can exploit it.

      @@grilledleeks6514 You are missing the point, licencees aren't getting that licence for free.
      They pay money to get a licence to make one or two games, then that's all they do. Meanwhile the license owner [one who sells them on] gets all the cash I was talking about, and then will continue to recycle all the old IP's that they can in this way.
      That's the reason why all the old IP's get fucking ruined by new teams - they are not bad developers, they are not social spies trying to brainwash you, they are not making political points because they care about the points!! That is the point.
      Not who they sell licences to... Like Subway restaurants are a franchise with 1000s of restaurants, who ALL DO WHAT THEY ARE TOLD or they lose it.
      And who is taking in all that lovely money, now that that model has made them the most profitable fast food chain with the highest number of restaurants?
      NOT the person with the one licence, it's the licence owner! You see? And that's what happens with all the IP's we loved.
      They are reusing all the old ideas, concepts, art, music, everything - so they don't need to pay people to make new stuff, they just stick 2 devs on the project and it's very easy and quick. But it makes BANK for them.
      Why would they spend time and money making a new IP that might not generate interest, when they can reuse old ones which already generate their own?
      That's the industry now. It doesn't matter what the lore of the IP was, or who's getting the licences and what they are making. It is COMPETITION within the industry, where the leader goes others follow.
      The leader is not the person who buys a licence in order to make quick money! It is the person who sold licences in order to make quick money.

      @The Rotten💯 I can say as someone who watched this train wreak, their not trying to fit a social agenda in this. When Lance Reddick is allowed to channel Albert Wesker he becomes Albert Wesker it's a lot like Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. The problem is the writers took every zombie property and smashed it together in hopes of attracting fans of zombie flix. Then in their genus decided to recreate Riverdale and Sabrina in the past sections to attract the youth. Studios maximizing the audience outside the core is the problem. Why create something good that might catch on when you can just workshop the script to have a little bit of everything.

    They did actually write a line about the lab security. Boss lady told Security Dude to fire the security guard that was supposed to be covering the lab for not doing his job and Security Dude tried explaining the issue as it being that guy's first day on the job. Also, the only reason they were even able to get access was because Wesker "uses the same password for everything."
    The writers are literally writing in reasons for these contrivances, which actually makes it MORE contrived. They're hanging lampshades like they have some sort of light sensitivity.

    I think biggest problem with the Resident Evil adaptations and just video game adaptations in general, is that Hollywood doesn't respect video games as an art genre. They think the source material is trash, so they always try to do their own thing and think a few references here and there will suffice. I think in most cases none of the writers, producers, or directors play the games at all. It's a shame. It should be an absolute requirement before they start doing anything. Unfortunately all they see are dollar signs from the built in fan base, whom they also don't respect.

    I'm 4 episodes in myself and I kinda agree. It's pretty bad, characters are stupid and make stupid decisions. There's so much teenage drama and not enough horror elements. Lance Reddick is definitely the best part of it and without him, the series would've probably been close to trash. As is, I'm somewhat entertained by it, although half the time I just laugh at the stupidity of the characters. I'd give it a 4 or 5/10 at best. Its really astounding that they keep failing to make something actually good out of this franchise even 2 decades and 7 or 8 movies later.

They display that well in "All of us are dead" it answers the question: what would a bunch of smart high schoolers do in a zombie environment with life and death situations?" Sure the subtitles may not be for everyone but I did not mind it at all even the dub. They do alot of things right, 1 example is "the military." They are actually smart in the show. Unlike other shows or movies where the military is a joke.

      That being said, I can give the weird "dating" drama a bit of a pass being different cultures to an extent yet even there it was a bit over the top how 2 people that clearly liked each other went so abnormally out of their way to act in the opposite it was starting to get borderline too. Not enough to derail the show but it was starting to get grating. There was some other nit picky things but on the whole it was way better than this shit.
      The depiction of bullying in TV nowadays, in this, in AOUAD, in stranger things 4, in most things, is just so over the top it's not believable anymore.

Or how when one guy stops it the victims are like nope we're going to go back and do it anyways and still not tell anyone. The first part could maybe be a hell of a stretch but maybe there's a very slim chance she's just that devastated that she and her boyfriend go along.... maybe, sure... but the guy that tried to save them? He's just gonna be like lol I tried, guess that's just that and all is well lol. Yea, right. Then in class the bully writes on her in giant letters pretty much that she's a ...sloot... and the ENTIRE class is all laughing and it's perfectly normal, not one single person says anything and the teacher who can clearly see something is off doesn't even bother to blink an eye at it? We live in the day and age where you can't even suggest that a preteen cutting off his johnson might require some thinking without an army of tick tock tweens going psycho and large swaths of "progressives" will try to ruin your entire family lineage but somehow that entire scenario played out and a large chunk of the school all were 100% ok with it?

    If any of you are starving for a legitimately excellent zombie story, I *highly* recommend Michael Stephen Fuch's Arisen. Awesome, believable characters - no teen drama - a seriously excellent and entirely plausible origin story for the virus - and he follows his own rules, i.e. no getting covered in infectious zombie gunk cuz it looks edgy and cool (coughWALKINGDEADcoughcough) while acting like one bite or scratch is the end for you. MSF/his characters treat it like it is: a Group 4 infectious agent that YOU CANNOT MAKE CONTACT WITH. Which also means no zombies sneaking up on people (HA! sneaky zombies?? gtfo), while the character is just barely holding it off at arms length and then some other person makes a headshot at 50 ft, and somehow 1st person doesn't get sprayed with infectious zombie blood. He also had the balls to write a zombie story that acknowledges the existence of zombie "culture" within the story, sort of like the clever way Zombieland writers did.
    It's by far and away the best zombie story out there. At this point, it's an oversaturated market with A LOT of dreck not worth your time. That is not Arisen. MSF took something as conceptually silly as The Zombie Apocalypse, and asked himself, "what pieces need to be in place for something that would look a ZA to take place?" It's *grounded*. At least as grounded as one can make a ZA story. Also, MSF deep, DEEP knowledge of military culture, protocols, ethos & tactics, makes it one of the best and most believable military/operator stories I've ever come across. Again, it comes HIGHLY recommended. There are over a dozen separate books (not thick reading), and the audiobooks are read by the great RC Bray.
    Happy reading/listening, Angry Army!!

    Just watched episode 7. It gets better and somehow gets worse at the same time. Episode 7 has roughly 12 flashbacks, it actually gets harder to follow with some added characters. It definitely feels more like a 28 days later part 2 instead of a resident evil. If you changed the "Umbrella Corporation" to "Generic BadGuy Corporation" and the "T" virus to something else, it wouldn't have much else in common with resident evil.
    There's way too many instances of an extremely intelligent character, making stupid, selfish decisions that don't match up with their character. Just to move the plot forward.
    The music seems to be from one or two artists only, and for me, didn't pair with the scene well about half the time.
    There's some good stuff here, mixed in with total crap. It's entertaining for sure, but also frustrating for all the stupid stupid decisions made to just move the plot forward.
    I haven't watched the last episode, but I would say for the episodes I watched, it's about a 5/10 - I am only familiar with the first resident evil game and movie so there's probably a lot of stuff here that's not lore. But it's basically only Resident Evil in name.
    TBH I think it would have been 10x better if they just started with the past scenes only and maybe one to two flashbacks. And instead of jumping around like a frog on cocaine, just show one time period at a time. That and not have characters do the stupidest things and not have Umbrella Corporation be completely incompetent with their security. Like my local 7-11 has better security.
    It's almost like they said hey we got this pretty good zombie script, and Netflix said we need a Resident Evil series, so they married the pretty good script with Resident Evils' name and this mutated half witted tale was born.

    Idk why we can't get a live action RE movie that's akin to the CGI movies.
    Resident Evil Vendetta is the best RE movie, it's actually canon to the games and essentially acts as a sequel to RE6.
    Vendetta isn't perfect, but at least shows shit that hardcore fans have always wanted to see while also doing its own thing. Leon, Chris and Rebecca working together! I've wanted to see that shit all my life! It introduces a new virus, there's a classic big boss at the end, and there high stakes. Chris and Leon fight a FUCK ton of zombies in a hallway John Wick style! You kidding me? Make THAT into live action!
    I'm perfectly okay with wanting to tell a new story, but at the very least make it tie into the games. Almost all of the CGI RE games are canon and fill the gaps in between the games' timeline! They continue the stories of classic characters, instead of just throwing them away. I love RE. RE, Halo and Zelda are my 3 favourite game franchises. It's extremely sad to see these shows/movies get made by people who haven't even played the games ☹️

      My issue is the fucking games have cutscenes that give a clearly done story that you can perfectly work with as you please and it would work but no, for whatever reason that’s not how they do things

    • @MrLucky7s

      The reason is simple, the CGI movies know that the best way to present the story is by making an action movie. This is perfectly in sync with the games, while the gameplay itself has horror elements, in the story the characters are mostly combat ready and willing to push on and rarely exhibit characteristics of your run of the mill horror protagonists.
      The real life movies constantly attempt to make it either a straight up horror movie or an apocalypse movie, this shifts the focus to much less interesting parts of the RE setting and the movies turn out meh.
      Even the Mila movies improved (using this world lightly) once they focused on action rather than horror. It's just that they strayed too much form the source material at that point.

    How hard can it possibly be to make a good Resident Evil movie? Special forces STARS investigates mansion. Mansion has zombies. Find secret lab under mansion. STARS discover Umbrella making bioweapons. Barely escape alive. End.

      Oh, but you have to set up sequels, tv spinoffs and a universe with multiple dimensions. No-one plays games anyway. That's for nerds. And remember to only 'reference' the games. That'll bring in the stupid fans. We like to call them Whales. Just grab a random old script from the bin and scribble some stuff out/add some umbrella logos. Sorted. What was this thing about, anyway? Space? Space is cool. Add space. And dragons. RESIDENT EVIL! COMING THIS FALL.

    My friend tried asking me a for score out of 10 and I said 4/10. It was a big pile of poop. Some of the scenarios were kinda nonsense. For example, Ep1 Where adult Jade is observing zombies. Now, in that timeline you'd think she'd know better to be somewhere remotely safe when observing zombies. Not be sitting 10 - 15 meters away. I was like ARE YOU DUMB?! So annoyed me. Only redeeming person in the show was Lance Reddick for sure. I felt they tried to start little stories but then they never go anywhere! By the end of it all, I was like what was the point? THIS makes Welcome to Raccoon City seem amazing. I hated Paul W S Anderson for years because of the resi evil movies but this show made me appreciate his vision of the franchise

      It was dumb but she had that super secret anti bo spray to hide her scent until she cut her arm and they found her. Yes its stupid but this isnt the most stupid. For me its where she should have died after being ragdolled by the caterpillar or the end of the first episode where she committed suicide off the fort
