*Ah yes, Albert Wesker. The most feared Vampire Hunter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.*
Yeah the new marvel vs capcom looks wild I must say
Some mother@&#%#= always trying to ice skate up hill
arguably the only adaption of RE i'd sit through a season of.
Yeah, he's daywalker-lab worker type of mix
Lmao
The sad trend about video game adaptations is that they will always be made by people who don’t understand the messages or meaning of the games and will just end up making bad or mediocre fan fiction.
Edit: Fallouts a blast ❤️
We can hope
I don't get it. Why can't they just... Adapt the material? Take out some puzzles, choreograph the fights, make a few other pacing fixes and the like, and just do Resident Evil 1.
A SWAT team going through a trap and puzzle filled mansion full of zombies and monsters. How is that not usable?
I mean, even if they were able to just take as much time as they would need to make it " perfect " if the game is not like linear, then, they HAVE to make some " adjustments "...
Agreed
It seems to be suceeding in animation though...
Watching a Resident Evil show and hearing "Zootopia Porn" come out of a character's mouth was probably the hardest I have laughed in a while and it gets points for that
Imagine if in Rezident Evil 4 Leon said "where did everyone go? To an LGBTQ+ parade for Twitter Charity?"
that kind of line would be so out of place, but my god, would that be so funny because of it@@NiCoNiCoNiCola
Peak writing
What...what is "Zootopia porn" ... Also why did my phone autofill that.. how did it know☹️
It gets minus points for that.
Rest In Peace, Lance. You were the best part of everything you were in.
He was a real one
For real
F
Imma miss him. He was the best part of the show
He was BLACK ... black Albert Wesker ... originally Blond and White guy 🤦🏻♂️
Your pointing out that Jade was videochatting via the Paint app and without internet access physically hurt me 💀
Maybe paint could be a video in the future also capable to drawing a picture.
@@fajararsy_saiga9567 imagine if it draw immature drawings of you while video chatting?
That photograph may be shittier to me.
They probably used Paint to make the computer screen a green screen.
@@slavatoin8273 That's a good theory! But damn, they literally could have made a green wallpaper if that's the case. Sure, it would be weird if no program is open but it's better than fucking paint lmao
The protagonist of Billie Wesker feels more like a self insert OC in a Resident Evil fanfiction than an actual character
Yes. Someone was like "I really like Billie Eilish so what if we made her like sorta super human and there's resident evil stuff around a little bit."
Why is this so accurate 😂
That's how I've always seen Alice from the PWA movies too lmao
@@elliebingo except those are actually fun to watch.
agreed
This feels like a Nickelodeon produced resident evil show
What? 😂 thats crazy to think especially after all the masturbation and sex jokes this show makes u put it in the nick category
@@deshawnanderson7777💀
@Deshawn Anderson it feels like dialog written by adults trying to appeal to teens
@@mr.smitherine1913 especially the bully scene. For some reason it just feellllllsss like it wants to be shared on tik tok? And that’s it?
Wrong!
This feels exactly as it sounds, a netflix adaptation.
Netflix has a habit of ruining almost anything they touch. This show blew chunks
No little edge Lord, netflix has plenty of good shows and movies, you just focus on the bad ones because you like to cry on the internet while you fill your diaper.
Now, we got lucky that One Piece was actually really damn good.
@@JiraiyasWifealso a series of unfortunate events, as someone who grew up with those books damn that show was good and accurate as fuck
The fact a group of people wrote this and thought "Yeah! This is great!" Is more frightening than anything Umbrellas viruses can create.
Funny how they passed the Art school to write this abomination thing.
They stopped hiring people who actually has skills and started hiring untalented woke puritans
@@fajararsy_saiga9567 That's Cal Arts for you.
That's cause they're clueless morons that have never played a single game in their life, grandpa probably saw his son playing resident evil and asked "what game is that? Oh wow it looks spooky and very hip, im gonna make it a TV show, teens will love it!"
Worse, we get a lot of pre-made scripts that Hollywood uses for adaptations and re-skins them.
Elvis mentioned "random" stuff not in RE in RE and the weird, choppy issues with the plot. Probably not the case with this, but some movies are made using a completely separate script that ends up being recycled for the ip.
Diehard is a famous example, Joker is another. (Though those movies were much better than this mess).
Jade is such a terrible person. She doesn't care about anybody, risks other people's life constantly. When in the end she sends her daughter away on her own and forgets about it we just bursted out laughing. But every character seems to like/love her because she is the protagonist I guess? That's how some Hollywood psychos would imagine a "relatable" character.
She was my least favorite 🤦🏻♀️ hated her so annoying I honestly found Billie more interesting
A classic mark of terrible character writing is having a character be awful to everyone and hope the audience will like them because they _tell us_ the character is good, even though they show us the opposite. It has never, ever worked, but it doesn't stop shitty writers from doing it.
typical of recent "strong" female characters...
@@reginaphalange9417 yea
Yup!
Wesker using the equivalent of a 2003 AOL password is the epitome of the amount of respect the producers had for this show
He was added to Dead by daylight as the mastermind, in this show he is as dumb as old people who are tech illiterate.
You know the worst part, Umbrella has cloning technology, all Umbrella and Billie would need is for Jade to supply a pint or two of blood and then they could create a clone heart of Jade to pump the special hero blood perpetually.
um hate to break it to you but its her bone marrow they need. Carry on.
@@sdaniaal whatever they could just clone the girl and use the clone as a blood bag is basically my point because they said they need her blood.
@@sdaniaal that doesn’t change anything.
@@RusticRonnie exactly they have cloning technology just clone the girl and take what you need you had her DNA.
@@sdaniaal ok replace blood with bone marrow….?
One thing I really hate about RE adaptions is that they all insist on going the "Zombie apocalypse" route, even though that never happens in the games
The closest thimg to that happening is that racoon city incident or the re6 one.
ikr. Almost every outbreak was an isolated incident which made the tension higher because you know there's nobody else coming to help. At least in the older games
yeah thats becasue most people dont really know the games...they just know the movies and think...OH THATS PROBABLY what the games are like...its an ego shooter.
ont forget this really isnt a show about the game...its a show in the FILM UNIVERSE...with like...easter eggs of the games for "the nerds"
@@faelger9473 i think people hear "resident evil" and now forget that the name still is about about a house from the first game, but no one thinks about it and makes it about the end of the world.
I wanted to comment on this exact thing. The main cast always contains the threat in every RE game\animated movie.
Jesus, fuck, never thought I'll witness an iconic villain such as Wesker talking about Pornhub. I sure hope that the check was fat enough, Lance
Well albert wesker is a popular character in rule 34 soo...
@@jacobo6652 I'm not THAT big of a degenerate, thankfully so I wouldn't know
@@jacobo6652 oh you'd know *all* about that, wouldn't you?
@@jacobo6652 why do you know that
@@Buckwheat0 isn’t it obvious?
I'm a huge Resident Evil fan, however I went into this show with absolutely zero expectations. With that zero expectation I tried so hard to enjoy it at every instance. I was met with an absolute dumpster-fire of a tv show. I could write an entire Exposé on how this show sucked, but you did everything I had to say toward the show in this video and I cannot explain enough how
much I appreciate that. This show was so difficult to sit through.
I already had sub-zero expectations regarding this, and afetr this review those reached absolute zero
i thought it was quite entertaining to binge watch 😂
The fact that even a clone of Albert Wesker would be a somewhat good father and person is the least believable thing in the show, like Wesker in the game, is supervillain evil
I mean he's managed to keep S T A R S until the mansion. So i guess he would be a somewhat good dad. Or at least the og is
Basic story is driven by jades life long series of poor judgment and choices. It was hard to feel anything for the protagonist….also these teen girls are fkng brats.
You and me sister.
Fate been sealed, show cancelled 🥳
Another problem I have with these shows is that they always portray teens as brats or zoomers
Seriously not every awful thing from real life should be in your live action show
@@theofficialmascot YES
Literally turned it off SO FAST....jade was making me mad asl
That time when she says "It's you! You're the evil resident" i shat my pants
Reminds me of that one time a villain said: "I reside in the evil" almost made me cry.
I'm sorry this happens? 💀💀💀💀
Yes, just like the line in the movie where Wesker said "It's weskin' time!" And then proceeded to wesk all over the bad guys
@@thevelbaetum4118 Yes, it does
It's evilin' time, muh resident.
Lots of love to Lance. No matter the material, no matter the script, no matter the direction; whatever he was in, he was great.
I'm just casually scrolling through Instagram as I re-watch this and I see the actor who played Wesker, Lance Reddick, died TODAY bro ...wtf 💔💔💔
The reason that most zombie related media calls them anything but a zombie is because a while ago like on the 80s-90s marvel had copywrited the word “zombie” so other companies had use find other ways to use the creatures without using the word “zombie” but they lost the right after it became a widely used word, but now a days it’s just kind of a trend to not call them zombies
They lost the right in 1996, but it is somewhat of a trend. As a world that take place in a zombie apocalypse doesn’t have any fiction revolving zombies so they have to be more creative that using “zombie”.
It also helps marketing bc if they get popular enough more people will know the show by the nickname they gave zombies. Like the walking dead’s “walkers”
When you think about it it sorta makes sense, like irl if it happened we probably wouldn’t call them zombies it’d be more like COVID where we’d call them what there infected with , just a funny thought tho that I’ve overthought
But they are though…
They ARE zombies.
If zombies actually exist, I’m gonna call them zombies lmao
Plus they even say “zombies” quite a LOT in the games, given they are zombies.
@@elliezzz7812 now all I can think about is a group of hipsters arguing over what they should call the zombies to make themselves sound cool. Makes me shudder,
The walking deads walkers were the worst analogy because that is the case for the show the comics which was the source material for the olshow originally called them zombies also the comics are way better than the show so you should read them (the show was awesome in the earlier seasons though)
@@elliezzz7812 I think we would come up with a name for them and not just call them "infected with *disease*" or "*disease* sufferers." If they were out and about and you could easily tell them apart from people without it, we would come up with a nickname for them. They would be different in each country/region too depending on what caught on and what they do. Like, they're called walkers in TWD because that's what they do, they get up and walk. Depending on what they did here, and previous media influences that they didnt have in TWD, we would come up with some easy to use slang name to give them.
My biggest problem with the show was that all the characters, especially the protagonist, were really unlikeable
Literally wanted Jade to die and get introduced to someone more likeable as a new main character.
That's Netflix for you
Jade sucked, wasn't very funny, references were bad. Left a bad taste in my mouth.
Specially for doing stupid things
It’s like they looked up the worst traits of a person, slapped them into the general shape of a character, and called it a day
I'm usually pretty good at shutting my brain off and just enjoying a piece of entertainment regardless of how glaringly awful parts of it are, but man I really struggled with this show.
Same. And this is from me who actually enjoyed Revenge of the Fallen and the 2 Nic Cage Ghost Rider films. I can't even make it past episode 1.
don't forget, they could've just made a miniseries of HUNK adventures, easiest possible show Idea. they didn't even try
@@SonicHedgehog1991 wait do people not like revenge of the fallen?
“My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined” how I reacted to this series
Everytime a show or movie references real life companies or events I'm completely taken out of it for a second
totally, in science fiction not only does it break the suspension of disbelief but it makes the fiction age horribly
To be honest it depends on which type of thing is being referenced, and how well is the referenced capable of aging or has aged or is relevant to the plot and not just a tacky one liner with no bearing on the story.
Same
Seriously reference the in game products like jill sandwich
@@reginaphalange9417 seriously referencing something recent just makes your show all the more outdated
Like inside job
Good show but it relies way to much on referencing real life events
The writers should’ve known that the show will be outdated after many years
The thing about this show is, nothing Jade does in the past has any stakes because we see her as an adult so we know she lives. And the subtitles say "younger billie" so we also know that she's going to live...
The writers most likely didn't know how to hide those kinds of details from the viewer. At least with the horror movie The Thing, the intro wasn't in subtitle so you couldn't understand the helicopter pilot spoiling the whole movie. Unless you understand their language. Here, they said screw it just add everything in and hope it all works.
@@giftedfox4748 More likely the writers wrote the young part and the exec's at Netflix demanded they add the adult portion. Like........the whole adult portion is pointless, it meanders through random subplots to kill time and constantly teases(incorrectly most of the time) outcomes of the young portion. Literally wish there was a cut with all the adult stuff cut out, 100% more watchable.
@@frebu5379 Wtf how old are you?
@@kreevisful Old enough to not be offended by teenagers existing?
@@simonausmus Oh! My apologies. I forgot there's a few of you special folks that don't realize teenage drama isn't a part of the Resident Evil formula.
Please keep praising this garbage though by all means.
Happy Holidays. 🤡
Netflix is basically a graveyard of bad ideas with a gem appearing and disappearing as soon as possible.
Resident Evil is such a lore heavy franchise. It is astonishing how many adaptations don't have anything in common with the games other than name sake. It's almost like these people absolutely hate the games.
It really botheted me how 2 teenage girls got into an Umbrella building with no security because everythings "automated"
You know, even tho the show happened in the same universe as the games, you think Umbrella would have more security after Racoon City 1 etc etc
Yeah, "Thanks to Internet" also kind of dumb. How the heck they deactivate the cameras inside building but no alarm blazing upon deactivation. that will cause troubles and investigation troughly due to this incident. And each personel of inside the building will be questioned entirely no matter what. That will work great but this... Is beyond stupid writing, this is Agony and Self Suicide to the show.
@@fajararsy_saiga9567 fr a facility like Umbrellas would have security upon security
It really makes this Umbrella look like a joke, the Umbrella in the Millia RE Saga has an Automated Laser Defense System and the facility that was from is Underground just like every other Facility, Extinction even went as far as to show there is a Underground Facility that is accessed through a little spot found in some normal-looking home in middle of nowhere or a desert.
Sup
This is probably one of those pre-made scripts that Hollywood uses for adaptations and just reskins to try to make it fit.
Elvis mentioned "random" stuff not in RE in RE and the weird, choppy issues with the plot.
Diehard is a famous example, Joker is another. (Though those movies were much better than this mess).
I DONT GET IT... They're given everything and they f**k it up every time. Characters, plot, location... EVERYTHING... never fails to fail.
Had Lance played EVERY role in this show it would’ve had a MUCH higher rating!
Oh man let him rest
After painfully sitting through the first season of the show, it definitely made me appreciate the movies a lot more now
Correction: There was only one season ahaha
Lucky for you the show got canceled now you can rest
@@wsmstudio3329 4 real??
@@fatbgmanbg975 yes. I’m pretty sure Netflix said it themselves
the first movie wasnt awful, but i feel like they got a little out of hand
First season? The ONLY season .. lol git fuked
But, here is what I don't get: Why Wesker? The overworked father roll would have been so much more fitting for Birkin.
Birkin already has a daughter, so no one would be offended by Sherry having a sister.
It was already established in the game, that both William and Annette were neglecting their daughter due to William working on the G-Virus.
Birkin had a similar roll to Wesker within Umbrella, so everything they did to Wesker in this dumbster fire of a show, they could have done to Birkin and it would have been so much less... stupid. Heck, I don't even think that people would care all that much about race-swapping Birkin, because, again, the roll would be so much more fitting for him.
Yeah, Birkin is not a single dad, but, going with the whole clone nonsense, the Birkin here could have just been a clone of og Birkin (with an accidental dose of cherry cola) and no one would care.
Or since the show takes place after the original Raccoon City outbreak, Birkin's wife could've simply died in the outbreak.
...Was that a fucking CWC reference in the last bit there? XD
I mean, there's no reason why Birkin would've had to be a single dad. If both parents are overworked and neglectful of their daughter(s), you don't even need to kill off the spouse.
@@sorrenblitz805
Or, since the show is already set in Africa at the the start, just make the entire thing about Sheva and Josh. It could be a sequel to RE5 and focus on them cleaning up the remnants of Tricell, or even an origin story about how the two of them first met and started fighting against Bioterrorism. Heck, they could even end the whole thing with Sheva meeting Chris for the first time, tying it in perfectly with the start of the game.
@@kamikazelemming1552 the show could've just been any of the games or like a bridge between RE1 and 2.
Man. RIP Lance Riddick. I loved his work so much.
God bless (and rest) Lance Reddick. He deserved a better show.
I think the most important thing Hollywood types misunderstand about Resident Evil is that it’s not a typical zombie apocalypse schlock. In RE zombie outbreaks are like natural disasters localized to specific areas, and life goes on like normal everywhere else. RE is just as much clean labs and science experiments as much abandoned mansions and police stations. I think it lends it a very unique air.
It's what happens when the genwunner fanbase constantly harps on about how Resident Evil is a zombie series even though it always was about B.O.W.s and infectious viruses/plagas/whatever going berserk and not just some stock zombie shit.
All the weird outbursts in this show remind me of the time I used AI Dungeon to try to write a novel for fun. Some of the plot elements were surprisingly on-point, but then you'd get some crazy rant or pop culture interjection that would come crashing down. I'm mildly convinced Netflixident Evil was AI-generated.
Holy shit this is so accurate lmao. Like, the fucking giant crocodile being dragged behind the survivor ship??? That's something only an AI, a child, or someone stoned out of their gourd would think is a logical escalation of events 😭
I love how Billie switched race when she grew up, I guess it's the virus thingy
No it makes sense. , Her dad can obviously do it too
As someone with the same race as young Billie I was appalled. Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans sorta look similar being all East Asians, but Filipinos and Koreans? I was a bit offended lol
@@qwertyboo I still dunno why Wesker is black. Apparently, every important character has to be race swapped if they're white.
Finally! Someone else said it! I immediately questioned it but I thought I was being a racist a**hole so I never said anything!
it reminds me of how my mom is black and my dad is white so my brothers lightskin but ive been told multiple times that i look like i come from thailand or china
It's a shame really, I really liked the zombies in this show. They are fast and ferocious and genuinely felt like they could pose a threat, especially in large numbers, to even armed soldiers. Much more than I can say to zombies in say, later seasons of Walking Dead, when the zombies are so slow they seem only capable of catching humans when the screenwriters teleport them behind their victims offscreen.
_''In August 2022, the series was canceled after one season.''_
See, that's one of the reasons why I cancelled my subscription to Netflix a year ago - they keep investing in TERRIBLE projects. Absolute dreadful shows and movies. They go for quantity rather than quality, so for every 1 good show or movie, there's 20 bad show or movie. And they continuously raise prices of the subscriptions... Raising prices for a service but the service doesn't improve
Netflix, you'd have MUCH better retention if you had better quality stuff.
Worst of all, they remove good movies for their bad "Netflix Originals".
@@aarondawal9037 Yeah - they'd rather invest in crappy ''Originals'' than invest in publishing license or extending current publishing licenses... So studio movies are fewer & rarer, and don't last as long on the platform. I don't miss Netflix.
Arcane was good... And I like the new series with Guillermo del Toro... There's always that One Good Thing™ that keeps me going
And now they will remove shared passwords / IP lock your account and put ads on the lowest tier subscription in early 2023. They’re really killing their own service
@@ArukiTsukaru edgerunners as well we can’t forget that

@@MoojinBoi what's all canon?

"And she's attacked by the very hungry caterpillar" killed me good one Elvis
The reason Jade’s daughter took the bag and left the boat is because that’s what Jade instructed her to do to escape Umbrella.
Then moments later Jade went onto the island, summoned an army of zombies, ran back to the boat, and was like “where’s my daughter?”.
She is forgettable to her daughter just like her father. Ignorant of danger.
I’ll be honest, I’ve been daydreaming about a Dark Souls show adaptation(written by myself, a young creative writing student), but I would rather never see it happen than see someone with no respect for the base material be in charge of it. I do not understand why producers and writers are so, so, so desperate to remake movies or make movies based off of books or other projects, but then have the audacity to not even respect the material they’re mooching off of. It’s insane.
It's because it'll make a quick buck. They know people like the property, so they'll use the property itself to prop up their horrible ideas. It's incredibly rare to see a halfway decent adaptation, let alone a good one
Fun fact.
A german youtuber, named Alberto, made some comedy sketches in which he played multiple characters by himself. His most known characters are Al, Bert and O.
He did the same thing that wesker did to name his clones, only he did it like ~10 years earlier. Made me laugh a bit when Weskers clones were introduced and i still wondering if this is a coincidence or if someone behind the scenes took some inspiration.
Huh. o.o Not unlikely
@@ayyylmao101 very likely nothing in this show is original so yeah
Ah jemand mit Klasse ;)
lol
Kinda like Ryan George too.
I found it very funny how mild of a reaction Wesker has when finding out his daughters stole his key to murderous supercorpo HQ, freed a lab zombie dog, and one of them got bitten & infected, because free bunnies.
I kinda liked the show in so bad it's good kinda way.
If only they are doing pranks or tried to graffitize the building inside, makes sense.
The part where they play the Moonlight Sonota is a direct reference to Resident Evil one, where at some point in the game Jill has to play the Moonlight Sonata to open a door.
RIP Lance
I miss the days when directors and writers did actual research before producing a movie/ show.
Now they just take something they know has a huge fan base and try to twist it into “theirs” but all they do is ruin things
Resident Evil: "Finally the adaptations are over"
Netflix: "Well, yes...but actually no"
Rest in peace Lance Reddick legends never die
Y'know what's odd?? Lance Reddick Happy Wesker clone was the best part. "They got breadsticks!" And the sad little "I don't like you, you're not nice!"
"daughters of wesker" Sounds like concept for someone's OC then actual characters
It literally sounds like a female-only cult that worships Wesker and follows his ideals.
Or a shitty dlc lmao
@Cristo Alba I don't think so. Clone yes, or more like another member of Wesker experiment but not full-on son.
@Cristo Alba wait- I just check it yeah in R6. But it's R6, nobody takes R6 seriously
@@TheBloodGamePL yeah and the strange romantic story between the son (jake) and sherry. God, why couldn't she appear in another game.
The new resident evil stuff is starting to make me appreciate the old ones with Alex and her superpowered T-virus mutant thingies.
The movies have a character named Alice who bonded with the T virus on a cellular level which is how she gets her 'superpowers'
I really did love the claustrophobia of the first movie. The second and third movie were still pretty good pretty decent but after that it just goes all downhill.
Which one?
The first one.
To be fair, the first 2 movies weren't bad. Hell, I'll go as far as to say RE1 was pretty decent. It had the slow investigating scenes, it had shootouts, a big mutant boss that has multiple phases (welp, the licker evolved only once but I'll count it anyway), and psychic powers.
The hair thing is actually a genetic birth mark thing. I went to high school with a girl that had it and she has 5 kids and they all have it!!!
The bully being socially awkward and mean for no reason was the most realistic thing of the whole show
That’s what I said while watching. A girl I met last year was the exact same, she’s was just an asshole for no reason
You know there is a timeline out there where George Romero finished his script for the first Resident Evil movie and produces it. In this timeline we would have probably one of the best video game to movie adaptations with some good sequels. Instead, we got the Anderson timeline and here we are.

Regarding Tammi the bully and believability: Had a bully like this in high school actually, straight up sociopath, was a bully to everyone simply because he was a hateful sonofabish. He wasn't around during my junior or senior years because apparently the dude had been killing a bunch of stray animals in his neighborhood and keeping the parts in his shed. Straight up psycho bullies are out there.
That's literally the start of being a serial killer I hope someone reported this person to the police.
@@Plsrateeight I’m gonna assume they did since he says the guy was suddenly gone junior and senior year and they know about the dead animal parts. He was already a bully. He probably got arrested and when they found the dead animals put him in juve.
unfortunately people like that exist yeah
"Why does alber wesker use the same simple password for very confidential work stuff"....Oh Elvis....This is actually the most believable part of the show. Ask anyone who works in corp security. The higher up the chain, the worse their security know how.
It's believable for the real world, but not for Wesker
@@sev1120 Yeah, Wesker would have multiple different insane passwords just because he can. XD

Jade and Billie dialogue when they're kids is just awful, the cringe was killing me
Their dialogue throughout the entire show is terrible. Even as adults.
@@Mister_Clean true....but that edgy teen thing they were going for really kills me
Just too big a generational gap between those that make the movie and those that are portrayed in it.
Then add in the typical netflix formula (honestly surprised there wasn't a guy in a wheelchair or sth) and you get some new-gen generic bullshit, with "that's how the kids of today sound, right?" dialogue.
I'm probably like 20 years younger than whoever signed off on this garbage show and even I couldn't tell you how the youth of today talks. All I know is that it's hella weird to me, so how the shit would I be able to write authentic dialogue?
Netflix just has their MO and if shit works they continue, if it doesn't they just drop it; ad infinitum.
It amazes me how we never had a proper live action Resident Evil adaptation . Even Romero's script had a lot of issues.
If there exists a game that gen z kids play, they will. I mean they don't care about us. All these tweaks were to draw younger audiences, who are the major viewing demographic now.
@@LessPegasus Weird jab at an entire generation, gotta say. Believe it or not, they don't like bad writing either.
@@BigManDaichi yeah, they don't know what good writing is. Do you know the reason why youtubers like Jake Paul or Logan Paul got popular? Kids. They don't exactly have great taste. Same applies to this as well. That's why the most unintelligent shows or movies make the Netflix top 10.
believe it or not, they are the target demographic for everything entertainment nowadays, and their taste is 💩. Not all, but most.
@@LessPegasus I guess those previous generations should stop being so greedy and go back to making things they're proud of, so kids learn about some good writing.
@@BigManDaichi and when they all are old enough to understand good writing, then the makers will focus on the even younger audience. Kids and students are the ones with time on their hand to enjoy these forms of entertainment. I guess that's why they try to appeal to them. This is also the major reason why Disney successfully reboots every single animated film they've made (except for Mulan, ofc). Like none of us would choose to watch will Smith be Aladdin when you've seen Robin Williams. I believe this is also the reason why marvel has been falling since end game, and obviously lack of good material. (I wouldn't call the MCU till end game a masterpiece, but it's certainly enjoyable)
The walking dead not calling them zombies is because their world is one where zombie media never happened
7:28 That is a good question. Because as long as they`re living in the same world as Billy Eilish, Bill Gates, SpongeBob and 4Chan, they`re living in a world were they naturally would have called the undead for zombies, not zeros.
The fact that this takes place supposedly in our world means they've all seen zombie movies so it's weird. The reason other shows don't say Zombie is because the universe the show takes place in doesn't have any sort of fictional precedent like zombie movies.
Though in fairness, Zombie isn't even the right word for these creatures or the creature shown in really any zombie movie. Romero originally called them Ghouls and they do resemble the folklore of Ghouls moreso than the folklore of zombies which were essentially puppets for a necromancer rather than ravenous walking corpses.
Since we've already looked at so many RE adaptations on this channel, I think we need a video at some point about the Silent Hill movies too
Edit: Since I'm seeing replies about it I want to clarify I'm not suggesting the idea because I think the movies are as bad as the RE ones or bad at all. I would just like to see Elvis review them too since it's another classic horror game franchise adapted into movies like RE.
The first movie is alright though. It gets so much sh*t but considering all the horrible game adaption movies, it's actually fine.
In my restless dreams,
I see that town.
Silent Hill.
You promised me you'd take me
there again someday.
But you never did.
Well, I'm alone there now...
In our 'special place'...
Waiting for you...
Nah man the Silent Hill movies are fine. Not perfect don't get me wrong but comparing them to this trash here wouldn't be fair at all
I stand behind the fact that the first movie is a solid horror experience that remains at least somewhat faithful to the games. The second one on the other hand is a mess and kind of stupid, but still a fun watch.
I definitely agree that Elvis should cover these two movies.
yes, these aren't that bad to worth a sarcastic review, but i would like see him talk about movie 2 silly things, like the people burgers, the "They did this to me"and Pyramid carousel spinner...
If only there was a second season. I would like to see Tyrant working as a high-school teacher, trying to get by, while being harassed by evil Telegram trolls, or something.
Don't forget Mr X would be a sad Redditor cuckboy who's mad he can't get laid
And then Nemesis comes to destroy all Zootopia porn
And then Leon Kennedy mentions only fans
@@marcovargas6205 If you meant Leon's Onlyfans, then we actually need that canonized
@@jatoarkanen4435 nah he meant Leon wants Ada’s only fans.
For a show trying so hard to make it look like it’s happening in the real world the bully scenes had me cracking up lol i mean imagine being denied a seat and then go and bully someone, wouldn’t the bully girl just fight the other girls who didn’t want to sit with her 😂😂 I used to get bullied and that scenario was just hilarious to me
this does happen there are genuinely psychos out there 😂 very rare though
When will Netflix learn that mentioning trending things or ANYTHING from our reality makes it instant cringe
Netflix can either make the best show you’ve ever watched, or the worst show ever, mostly worst
Netflix has never produced anything good.
@@somedogsarecops2354 I'm sure there are more but the ones that pop to my head fastest are Cyberpunk Edge runners and Arcane.
Both very very good. I remember others but can't think of them off the top of my head right now. So the OP is right. They can either make gold or shit at infrequent rates.
@@seventeenseventythirteen7465 technically Netflix only threw money at a studio which produced the entire show. They didn't do it, just paid for it to be made and to be exclusive on their streaming site
@@somedogsarecops2354 Bojack Horseman, Mind Hunter, which they killed...
@@julienpoeschl which show? Both of them. That makes sense I suppose, Netflix is only good as a pocketbook lol
Makes the original 2002 RE film look like a masterpiece by comparison. At least it was cancelled after just one fail season. Hopefully the same will happen to Paramount's awful Halo show too.
Maybe check out the CGI RE films. Their definitely better than any live action adaptation so far.
Resident evil: vendetta is awesome
@@jacobchristopher211 yes leon looks so sexy there oh shi-
Also, there is depressed alcoholik leon in damnation. Or was it the other one. The names confuse me.
"Halo" got renewed for a second season *before* it even premiered! 😅
@@thema1998 But thankfully, there is a new show runner. One whom I actually think is quite good. Perhaps he can salvage the series. I would certainly watch it if the second season turned out good.
The first movie is actually an alright movie. It didn’t insult any of the games and used umbrella in an ok way. Most people who talk about the movies always have at least some praise for the first one.
I enjoyed this series from a 'so bad it's good' mindset. It kept dropping from dumb to dumber, so I kept laughing harder and louder 😅
You should show a clip from Eric Andre's show where Lance Reddick is shirtless looking like star trek.
2 minutes in, sounds like they wanted to write fanfiction about billie eilish in a resident evil setting
I am dead.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's something like this on Wattpad
Also featuring:
-Blade from Devil May Cry (Capcom vs. Marvel)
-Furry girl with a Zootopia OC
…As a support cast.
@@Ratscallion_exe lol thats actually funny wanna get laid?
It should be a law that if you’re adapting something from one medium to another, you have to play/read/watch etc and pass a test to ensure you know what you’re doing
They need prescription glasses 5000+ when they read the script like this.
and maybe write an essay on the main idea and give a book report. Only then, if they pass it and get an A can they make an adaptation!
A lot of times transferring a game to a movie just doesn’t work very well. The silent hill movie was made by a super fan who was one of the only people in his country to own the game. He even made his crew play the ps2 on the set. But people still didn’t like it.
Rip Lance
I like how ellen hated this series so much that he priated the movie while in WEBP format just for this video. What a legend
The best way to adapt RE is to make it into a show and take all the great things from the Resident Evil games, comics, novels, cgi films, lore then blend them together with a good writer that understands Resident Evil.
This show takes much more inspiration from left4dead, Walking dead, 28 days later, and even has the happy pills from "we happy few"
Don't disrespect L4D like this
@@LucinaIRL I think OP is trying to compare them by zombies and the fact that the zombies run.
Not the fact that L4D, 28 Days Later, Walking Dead and We Happy Few are clearly superior in comparison to this fan-fic. Lmao
When I heard someone talking about this and mentioned the happy pills I thought, that's straight from We Happy Few.
Thanks, Captain Obvious.
"She's a big vegan"
*Cuts to Nikocado stuffing his face*
Oml I can't, my fucking sides
And again, Elvis, I appreciate the HELL out of you for watching this so I don't have to. This was another one that I just couldn't will myself to go past episode 1.
1:34 ULTRAA ULTRAA ULTRRAAAAA 😂 as a res evil fan who saw his older bro get eaten by a massive snake as a kid (shook kid me to his soul), it's no wonder this show never hit my radar. Ty for your hard work making it through this
There's something about the way this show references the real world that really pisses me off.
There's something about -the way- this show -references the real world- that really pisses me off.
@@sorrenblitz805 there's something that pisses
It’s because it’s forcing itself into a time period that only makes sense to us right now. If some kid watched this in 15 years they’d have no idea what any of the references meant. Meanwhile you can go back and rewatch the resident evil movies and not have to worry about any forced dated references.
@@kristaphorgraves4175 you should rewatch the movies, they referenced stuff aswell just not as heavy fisted
@@RusticRonnie yeah maybe I should. It’s only been 10 years lol.
"Also...massive waste of a burrito!" ....thats the worst crime this show committed.
If you watch the show with subtitles it calls Billie in the past "Young Billie" so the suspense of her possibly dying is basically ruined two minutes in lol
Its such a dumb trope where people will hack a computer and then the incriminating thing / exact thing they were looking for immediately pops up, like the person using the computer just had it open and all they did was lock their computer
R.I.P to my boi Lance, a legend
I think the biggest problem when Hollywood attempts to adapt Resident Evil is they focus on this new character and places them in the shoes or place of previously known characters.
Ah yes, Albert Wesker. The caring single father of his two adopted kids who turn out to be science experiments, including himself.
It's just like in the video games!(Yeah, I know he *is* a bit of a science experiment in the games, but not really in the way that the show pitches.)
If I recall correctly, he was experimented on to try and create an ubermensch type figure by a eugenicist, but Wesker doesn't believe those principles.
Albert Wesker in the games is a social darwinist
My favorite character was King K Rool, he was very powerful, was a reference to Resident Evil that was not given less screen time than background characters, and he was so cool that I cried a million tears when Umbrella killed him after they were given money from the Kongs
He thinks it's weird that Simon didn't know about Joy? I doubt anyone just goes and spills company secrets to their family all the time.
Calling a zombie a husk makes a whole damned lot of sense to me especially when their face and head becomes a convenient hoodie.
The zombies in L4D being called infected also makes sense because they aren't entirely lost and can still possibly be saved if a cure is found.
@@snazzyjovialwyrm3314 Left 4 Dead for life.
@@snazzyjovialwyrm3314 Absolutely - and back in the day, ''zombie'' was related to dying and coming ''back'' in L4D people don't die they just become absolutely rabid when infected
@@snazzyjovialwyrm3314 well they're not dead, they're infected with super rabies.
The other thing is that with L4D there are different types of infections that have mutated and those would need to be identified with different names.
"It's ok if you forget it's supposed to he wesker" just forget who the character is meant to be 🤣🤣🤣🙌
Forget he's Wesker, forget about Umbrella, and basically everything about RE and you have this massive dumpsterfire, that shouldn't be referred to as RE in the least, the same way Rings of Powa has nothing to do with Lord of the Rings.
@@NewVideoseeker we wuz Rangs and shit
Hi Elvis. Just found your channel. Loving the content so far. Loved you "The Sixth Sense" by the way.
That line "apparently when they're video calling, they're using paint, and have no internet access...." Killed me
Actually the Infected in L4D are called zombies too by some of the characters and in universe. But they're not really dead undead, and they have an idea that you don't have to be bitten to be infected, it just made more sense for the survivors to call them infected narritavely since they're always trying to talk and discuss the zombies with the government that's trying to contain the infection..
Nah, he said shows and movies not games.
@@fajararsy_saiga9567 Yeah but he used a special zombie from L4D as an example
This is why me and my friend really like L4D's zombies. Also a character named Francis calls the infected vampires and another character named Bill, corrects Francis in an elevator, saying. "They're zombies Francis!"
I love L4D's zombies due to them being kind of believable, a rabies virus mutating into something worse.
The infected from L4D are also believed to still be capable of being helped if a cure is found, albeit the special infected may be long gone, if not prone to all kinds of issues that'll result from their mutations once they're cured of the Green Flu.
I still can't believe he died so suddenly.
Can we talk for a sec about how older jade has the most "I just got out of hairsalon" hairdo ever, despite being supposedly a random outcast in the post apocalypse.
Sure, it's a detail, but it's pretty fascinating to see so much effort put into something that should have been done way more simply.
man, i definitely gave up somewhere in the middle of the first episode XD really appreciate you doing this breakdown for those who couldn't finish the series lol
I was gonna ask how Netflix was allowed to butcher this franchise twice and then I remembered that they let Mila jacovich butcher it 7 times 😂
Hey now. The first movie was fine
