"The acting was more wooden than an old-timey sailing ship..."
/shows Tom Hopper from Black Sails/
I see what you did there. X'D
Dude wtf why did you immediately remove the Mark Millar interview?!?!
Why you think this is a bad zambi movie whilst it shows feminism this good?
Ever notice how the only people who seem to be race swapped are wp ?
Casting Lance Reddick as Wesker is like casting Keanu Reeves as Blade.
@@ARC5555Fives 😂😂
That would be idiotic. That said though, Keanu would kick that rolls ass and make you believe he was a black daywalking vampire by the end of it.
Chris Farley as Lara Croft
🤨😒🤔
The people who run Hollywood would never do that
I love that in their zeal to crowbar in "the message", they basically show a world that's run by women as the most dystopian place imaginable
Seems to be a running theme. Was like that in that shit-show Star Trek Picard.
Art imitating real life unfortunately. if humanity studies this time period in a few hundred years & it is recorded honestly, I believe people will trace the beginning of our societies collapse to the day that we let women have the right to vote.
That is true. Have u seen germany?
They show us the more-than-likely zombie outbreak occurrence that is a direct result of a matriarchal society.
@@renzo2447 Ancient Greeks make a play about women being allowed power in governement. Basically women would implement a pseudo-communist system and everyone was miserable. It was a comedy.
"You just hate it because you hate strong women" said Netflix to the fans of Claire Redfield and Jill Valentine
Ada Wong and Rebecca Chambers too
Zoe of RE7, Rose of RE8
They don't know there are a lot of strong, powerful women in RE Universe, they are just not interested with the story at all. And look what they created.
Claire was great, Jill was awesome, Rebecca Chambers, very clever and brave for her age, Ada Wong, badass waifu material, holy shit, the games had so many strong female characters with personality that I didn't care that they were women at all.
Oh and we had sheva too, I didn't like her because she was black, I didn't give a shit about her skin color, it just found her to be too shallow, but well Chris wasn't that charismatic too in RE5, just a muscle bloke.
@@esmolol4091it's not about color but changing old character race doesn't make sense and that's why it's became flop movie 😅 and don't forget Jill valentine have fans to
@@sajjadkhan7255 Color swapping is plain retarded.
Just imagine Blade as white dude?
Lol, WESLEY SNIPES is Blade and he was perfect.
Imagine Heimdal from Thor as white dude... NO thx.
And now arielle magically turned black because white skin and red hair is... well what? It was totally fine.
I guess the next james bond will be a mexican transsexual or something similarly weird because reasons.
Rest in Peace Lance. At least you won't have to be part of this anymore.
"This is the worst adaptation of Resident Evil I've seen"
"This is the worst adaptation of Resident Evil you've seen.... yet"
Like that Simpsons movie meme lol
“This is the worst day you’ve had so far!”
**IT'S THE MOTHERFCKING WORST SH!T SHOW OF A RESIDENT EVIL EVER!!!!!**
MISCASTED ALBERT WESKER... NO F!CKING CHRIS, JILL, CLAIRE, LEON (MISCASTED HIM NO LESS IN MOVIE!)
FCKING JOKE MAN!
Yes agreed 100%. Complete crap😡
Another Simpsons meme:
“Am I out of touch? No, it’s the fans that are wrong.”
False.
The Alice films are the worst ones.
"This is the worst Resident Evil Movie, I have ever seen."
"You say that every time."
"And it's true every time!"
Yet we then get crap like this, and we look back to those first few dumpster fires and say “I think I’ll go back to that”
Why can’t they just make it like resident evil 2 the game?? That would be awesome. But nope. They can’t do that
"This is the worst Resident Evil Movie, I have ever seen." For now xD

But most producers flat out say "we weren't interested in making a copy of...." insert whatever here... When that's really all they have to do.. LOL... It's very head-scratching. 😕
I am SO glad Lance Reddick got to go out with a bang in John Wick 4 with a cast of characters and crew that really appreciated his years of service both to The Continental and the Wick saga as a whole. RIP, my good sir.
His death in JW4 hit hard😢
@@LOAF-do2xm oh yes, I get chills thinking about it. And the characters paid their respects. It was a powerful turning point that brought John and Winston back together. And it solidified the villain as a true cruel and ruthless character. It was a beautiful de@th. But it hit super hard knowing that it was the actor's final performance. 😔
@@SilverSpoonRiche Just say death bro lmao
@@ProGamer-lk9qw NOPE, I've been banned from youtube once too many times, thank you very much.

9:46 - 9:56 the genuine laughter when he says they dressed this poor actor up as Blade is even more funny and heartwarming than anything that happens in movies and shows like this lmao
It’s the laugh that kills me, he broke character and just laughed hard
In the show's defence, those girls are so utterly self-centred, it would never have occurred to them to ask their dad about himself.
Very fair point
"I could be infected with a dangerous virus that can kill anything we bite, lets go to a party!"

Resident Evil: Resting Bitch Face... Available now on PlayStation, Xbox and PC.
"It's you! You're the evil resident!" - a line in this show (probably)
It would have been more fun
And entertaining that the jokes in this show
There he is! The evil resident!
wrong, the line is:
"It's you! You were the residing evil all along!"
He didn't say that.
And by 'you', you mean white conservative males, right?
If you ever feel like your bad at something, remind yourself that despite weskers actor having no real reason to be in the show, he single handedly carries it (actually fell asleep at every point he wasnt on screen)
The most out of place actor with a horrible script still managed to do better then everyone else, says quite a bit about the people who worked on it
@Bobs and vegene is this real life?
Let's be real every white guy hated the show cause everyone important in the show is black...
RIP Lance Reddick. He was miscast, but he was the only actor on this show that you can see had fun playing his role. The scene in the principal office is good, bcs of his acting.

"Whites" won't have "culture" in a couple decades.
@@160sharp and replace them all with inclusive...wait non-inclusive for straight white male,lame storyline going against patriarcal society.
I stopped watching immediately after the line about “there’s white people everywhere”. I’m sick of racial obsession on tv. Just make a show without political obsession
Imagine someone in TV show would complain that it's too many blacks around and so they doesn't want to live here. "Racist! Racist!". Double standards are real.
Agreed - it is just beyond obnoxious and it's in literally everything....what an absolute joke.
the average white person probably says black people 0 times a day..
the average black person says white people 100 times a day...
they really need to chill out... i expect more dipping sauce riots after my statements..
Misandry is a far more pervasive and serious problem.
That's a weird f*cking phrase to include in a show. I would've turned off the TV immediately as well.
Episode 1 was insufferable, I wanted to check out about 2 minutes in when Jade complains that their neighborhood is too white. Great job, Netflix!
Well tbh the houses were all white
Not to mention the fact the apocalypse in this shows basically starts the same way as 28 Days Later!
woohoo! racism! its okay because theyre white, right guys!?
I fucking hate people.
Didn't she, in episode one? Moaned about the caretaker being white and useless for some odd reason?
So they're trying to normalize that there can be too many white people living in an area? I mean.. that sounds kinda racist.
Man i feel so bad for the wesker actor because he is actually a really talented guy.
And yet on IMDB, he's listed sixth in the cast pecking order. Total waste of his acting talent.
Lance Reddick has an amazing voice.
Talented Yes but not smart before getting the role.
@@Naftoor Wesker in the games comes across a bit goofy and I think a character like that could have made the show so much easier to watch.
He also insulted the RE fans and called us haters. It's sad he passed but he said stupid things.
I really wanted to like this show, but Jade being a massive narcissist and the show casually comparing Covid to the T-Virus… wtf
Numerous females act like that nowadays.
The virus thing is ab all that has irked me i dont get ALL the hate
The problem with "unlikeable and preachy" characters is that modern day media thinks they're cool, entertaining and spreading "THE MESSAGE"
Odd too that these same people extremely dislike street preachers, yet thats exactly what they are doing lol I can see them standing outside of a music festival with a bullhorn preaching about the sins of toxic masculinity and transphobia.
Actually, they already do that...huh.
Almost like it’s a reflection of the writers themselves
the message needs, more than anything else, to choke to death on an extra chunky fermented river of sewage the length of the nile
They are always disliked. Why do they still push them through
@@CS_Mango it makes them look good at corporate investors. There's literally no other reason for it unless they're genuinely just that f****** brainwashed
Ah yes, let's combine the resident evil universe and teenage drama, and then drown it in *THE MESSAGE* ,what could possibly go wrong?
Netflix DOES know what happened to the CW with their "teenage drama" shows right?
@@LoneWolf-gz9mr You people really think that conglomerates with access to *ALL* your data and thinking are that out of touch that they don't know that this would bomb and be disliked by all the fans? You think making money was ever their goal with media?
@@Kronos0999 I think that Netflix has a very bizarre business plan, for being in such a panic about losing so many subscribers. It seems that this is harmful to their brand to release if they KNEW it would tank.
you'd think with the amount of spyware and data they have they'd actually know how to try to make these things actually make "The Message" work
Go woke, go broke.
Could you imagine a live-action movie adaptation of the Final Fantasy franchise, being done by the same people who made Netflix's Resident Evil and Netflix's Cowboy Bebop, or even Fate: Winx Saga?
Don't.... Don't give them ideas....
No I don't want to imagine it.
Live action Dragon Quest lmao
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
please no, I'm fine with that only one screen adapatation that had absolutely nothing to do with any FF game and was boring as shit. Let's leave it at that.
@@YTshortsIsTerrible just treat that one as a standalone that coincidentally borrowed the franchise name lol. It's just okay as it is imo...
Wouldn't be a suprise if Capcom sues Netflix for misrepresentation and damaging their brand as Fox done it with Sega after Aliens:CM.
But Colonial Marines was a good game at least! This show is just trash on every level
@@gmualum08 No. No, it was NOT. It wasn't even mediocre, dude. It was terrible.
It would indeed be a surprise, because Konami doesn't own Resident Evil.
@@450AHX you got me :P I change it to capcom just for you ;)
Lance is way too talented for this shit show. If Netflix was even remotely smart or self aware, they'd pull this and pretend it never happened. This public embarrassment is a perfect example of why Netflix is losing money and otherwise failing to produce any kind of content worth paying a sub for.
And it’s honestly quite sad, cuz Netflix has had some of my fav shows ever like Cobra Kai, Stranger Things, and especially Daredevil. But of course somehow Disney found a way to be even worse than Netflix by stealing Daredevil to add on to their fricked up canon.
Netflix is hiding behind the cost of living crisis and password sharing for their dropping subscriber numbers, when in fact its just crap content.
Not that I've seen much of his work but Reddick was in The Wire for Christ's sake! He deserves better than this nonsense.
Netflix are taking the shotgun approach to stuff because consumers are idiots. Eventually they will produce something decent. It's the monkey typewriter in effect.
Ahh you must have seen him in Fringe, he was razor sharp Every single time
It's just baffling how they still don't get that being diverse or vegan are not character traits/ personalities
This was obviously written by some 19 year old, blue-haired Twatter landwhale. In her world diversity, inclusion and activism is all that matters.
"No this is totally different" fearless leader
And it doesn't make characters appealing, interesting or relatable. It just makes it very on the nose
but their great traits for zombies
😅😅🤣🤣
My other women friends and I have switched to Korean SciFi romantic shows like The Watergod's Bride and the Goblin's Bride. These men and women get to be strong complex characters that make mistakes, learn and develop. The plots are quirky, heartfelt with action, and (dare I say it) actual romance.
Thank you dear drinker for being a bastion of snark and humor in a world of metamales.
It's kinda funny when you consider that Korea has a culture of effeminate men; that even they are doing better in the filmic storytelling department.
Wesker-Reddick makes me want to see a Blade remake with him as the lead.
Also at least the monsters looked cool. VFX and creature design teams are probably eating well, I'm happy for 'em.
Me: “How bad was the Netlix Resident Evil?”
Drinker: “It made me wish there was a real zombie apocalypse.”
That Cutie film should have been the end of Netflix. If all the outraged people had cancelled their subscriptions we could have had a rare case of sicko entertainment industry feeling the repercussions of their actions.
If you're white, straight, male, you shouldn't be financing these media goblins anyway, they despise us. If you watch any of these bad films you can feel the venom and open hostility directed at us, it's palpable. It used to be subtle but they really don't care anymore. If there's something people really wanna watch though there's the pirate bay, no need to waste money funding spiteful goblins.
Films were once an escape from the absurdities of our reality, now they are reality.
@@enoch13th85
Yeah, apply the same cold, uncaring, efficiency-focused mentality to stop funding your incompetent government
Think of how many "patriots" would gladly emigrate to a new nation where genetic failures are not welcome
Literally 1776 again to start anew and build towards something, finding purpose in a better future civilization
@@nelisezpasce Most people are too brainwashed to see what their government is doing as are most peoples of the world, and I think there's more than mere incompetence at play.
Yes, I'm sure many people would like to escape to a new country given the likely future of our own. I wouldn't hold it against anyone not welcoming us or anyone else though. We have already suffered the drastic effects of the cultural suicide they call "multiculturalism".
Why do you say I am cold and uncaring? And lol to, "genetic failures." What is your country? Might explain why you're so hostile?
@@enoch13th85 This could work if only there wasn't a huge number of white people ready to cut their own heads to save us 'minorities'.
@@enoch13th85 I cancelled Netflix way before Cuties. Never looked back.
I hated the show but when Lance Reddick said, “it was you, you’re the evil resident” I clapped
It's eviling time!
I actually looked that up thinking he said that. I haven’t watched the show, nor do I intend to.
With *all* the respect, it must have been Lance's delivery that made it sound good. When I read that, it just seems REALLY corny and forced. It's like the immature writer said, "Hey, this will explain WHY it's called Resident Evil! Gimme a high five for my genius? Hello? Hey, somebody?? Anybody! I want praise, dammit!"
maybe the real evil were the residents we boarded along the wayyyyyyy
It says a lot about the show that I can't even tell whether or not you're being sarcastic
Casting Lance as Wesker is like casting Bruce Willis as Craig from Friday
Yippee-ki-yay, cuz
Lance Reddick looks like he’s about to attend a Halloween party dressed as Blade
“You see Chris, with the power of Oroborus, I gave myself melanin, you can’t hurt me without being racist”
-RE5 Wesker I think
Oh my fucking god this is gold. This is something that would be in one of Detective Masterclass or Chris Voiceman's videos.

That would have actually made a good plot for this show.
Comment of the year
@@anthonyfernandez82 Ummm.. I think the word you are looking for sir is... "inclusive". Obviously, you are unware of the Political Correctness" doctrine. That's okay cause it's all BS anyway. You can see my comments... umm.. rant in the comments. Stay well!👍👍😊
I mean, of course they haven't asked their father anything about himself their entire life. That would mean that they care about others and are not completely self-absorbed sociopaths, which is utterly impossible for modern protagonists not to be.
One might ask if they had a father around to begin with 🤣.
The writers that is.
Or college students.
@@unrelentingspirit6888 And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no fathers, and that maybe strong female protagonists just spring out of holes in the ground
Of course they wouldn't ask because he's male
You tuely are a brave soul for surviving this abomination. I couldnt make 5 minutes. Not sure why they called it Resident Evil, 2 girls and a cup seems like a better name :)
Yikes!!! I know exactly what you are referring to lololol
The Mila Jovovich movies are golden and Oscar worthy compared to the heap of dog ish Netflix dropped. I seen the whole season and it was a complete waste of hours I’ll never get back ever again…
You literally had "Strong Women" in the form of Jill, Ada, Claire, Sheva, and Sherry.
And they couldn't even be bothered to make them characters in this show.
THAT alone tells me this show was not made by people who are fans of the video games :/
Bro, I bet these clowns never even bothered to play the game.
I can’t say I blame anyone for not remembering even a single scene from this shitshow, but in the final episode Daddy Wesker gives the blood bags a note telling them to find Ada Wong.
They only want Abbyzilla "strong kind" waman
It's all communist propaganda. All of it. It's that simple.
tfw no Ashley
:y
Is really that hard to make a movie about Jill and Chris exploring a mansion for 2 hours?
been wondering this for years
Its mad isnt it
Yes. Considering the game is about 5 hours long.
I don't understand why they don't just do that. I mean, it's like they think people that love the original Resident Evil games, do not want to see the games being played out in movie form so they go off and throw in tons of crazy shit that moves away from the spirit of the games because that's apparently what fans will love? I was a little curious about this show, but i'm going to stay well clear of it now. So sick of modern social politics being shoe horned into media.
As long as they’re race-swapped and the zombies are non-binary.
Fun fact: The first and second game do NOT take place at the same time.... the second and third do however. "Welcome to Racoon city" is the "operation racoon city" of the film industry.
I am so worried what they will do to ALIEN
Another teen angsty drama preaching on 2-5 points of THE MESSAGE
Chris in RE5 punching a rock in quicktime has more logic than this show
lol and according to this show, that still actually happened! The clone Wesker tells the girls the original Wesker died in a volcano! XD
At least that's an iconic moment we all remember.
Yes… that moment had more quality writing, character development, more logic, AND personality than the entire show….
Hell, Wesker saying “You will give me an egg,” outperforms this whole show.
Considering the fact that Chris punching rocks had the same amount of logic as Biden being president because people actually liked him, yeah I’d say you’re right.
I like how Jade was directly responsible for the death of her scientist friend who was pregnant, and 2 minutes later EVERYONE forgets about it and are back to helping Jade and listening to what she says.
She should be locked up, I'd put her in the cell right next to the little girl from Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom.
Yes that was really bad!
That pregnant woman was clearly pro-life (she's still pregnant after all), so it's all OK.
5 seconds before that zombie attacks pregnant scientist friend, there's a guy standing right behind her. No sign of him while said zombie takes its sweet time to tackle her and rip her throat out. Are we to believe he's a deaf blind idiot or did the showrunners just Iron Fleet him out of their memories in those few seconds?
@@johng6350 Yes of course.
Ya know as a side note I think Antony Starr would make a really good Wesker, put him in some shades and slick that hair back and we'd be set for an actually good Wesker in a film supposing the writers dont cock it up. I think a movie about Umbrella between the events of RE4 and RE5 would be cool to see maybe a movie that fills in the blanks of what lead up to Chris and Jill meeting Wesker at the mansion and ending the movie with Jills faux sacrifice as she didnt really die of course. I think something along those lines of a more investigative cat and mouse type movie where Wesker infects a town lets say with a virus and basically Chris and Jill have to fight their way through and find clues to get to Wesker and have their fight in the mansion be the finale with a little bit more tacked on for a cinematic experience as opposed to just a quick 2 minute fight. Regardless its sad to see the film adaptions of a great game be so garbage really since the beginning, the only half decent things are the CG movies and thats not saying a whole lot.
Chris and Jill flew with Wesker to the mansion. They could even have a movie about the scientists who were in charge of feeding the mutated dogs at the mansion. The one dude is woken up by another and told to put on a biohazard suit. Once he develops a rash, he is told he doesn't need it anymore. Eventually, he is playing a card game with his friend, and his brain starts to decay.... killing the friend. You see this guy in the first RE game when he bursts out of the closet to attack you after reading his journal. ITCHY TASTY.
Antony Starr would be amazing as Wesker. He's perfect for the role.
Lance Riddick, a legendary actor, incredibly miscast here lol.
How to make perfect Resident Evil game adaptation:
-teen drama✔
-cancer culture✔
-diverse cast with no white main characters✔
-magical fantasy plot✔
-full of nobodies cast✔
-no masculine cancerous men✔
Yup, that is an oscar winning formula right there. What could possibly go wrong?
@@adambarber4697 It will be fine
Pretty much every show and movie these days.
@Iceman I was mindblown when Leon said "You gonna do better,Phd in virusology" to Wesker
"full of nobodies cast" doesn't apply. Most great shows have people you're not familiar with. Makes it more believable.
"Resident Evil takes place in a magical fantasy world where about 90% of all military, scientific, executive leadership and general positions of authority are held by women."
And look how that world ended up. Sounds like a cautionary tale.
Holy based
As he was going through this line I thought it would end in "are incompetent", because seriously it's the only way a zombie apocalypse could ever happen. A country like China would literally nuke their own cities if it meant to end the virus on their borders. But anyway, "are held by women" works just fine as synonymous to incompetent lol.
Dont forget a world where teenage girls can punch out grown men.
I see this writing as a win!
Sort of how the pro-illegal immigrant crowd uses the American Indians vs the Euro settlers as a justification for letting hordes of them over-run us. Then fail to see that bolsters our case.
The thing that makes me really hate these Resident Evil adaptations is that they are non-canon stories that turn RE into a zombie apocalypse setting immediately making it boring. The part of the appeal to games like RE was that it WASN’T a zombies apocalypse or like any other zombie media
Thankfully Capcom would never ruin their own characters like they did with Jill in the RE3 remake. Oh, wait...
- Have you any experience in Resident Evil?
- I've played Donkey Kong once.

"YOU'RE HIRED!!!"
I see that going differently.

-Are we sure we want someone that far right? Better have supervision on them.
I literally switched it off when I realised the whole plot relied upon Wesker's vegan daughter sabotaging her father's high security facility due to animal testing using nothing more then her smart phone.
Yeah. "No guards, no cams". I was like: "What? That doesn't make any sense"
I kept watching. There were some occasionally good moments, but on the whole, it was just so disappointing how dumb it was.
Maybe she learned it from that game Watchdogs. 🙃
Same here, i stopped watching the show after that, theres no way you can sneak into a high tech facility so easily

❌FUN FACT: Hollywoods OBSESSIVE need to blackwash characters is what led to Lances death
Hollywood thinks they are being relevant this way
The show's idea of a feminist hero, it seems, follows Jack Nicholson's definition of a woman: "I think of a man, then I take away reason and accountability."
Yeah, Unhealthy Feminism is like that. Not Feminism.
@@loturzelrestaurant and yet that’s baseline feminism
@@____________838 Yeah, you can say that but will it change Reality?
@@loturzelrestaurant I suppose you could look at the state of the western world for a hint.
Spot. On.
Honestly my favourite part about this masterpiece of a series was when Albert Wesker said: ‘Its Weskin’ time!’ and decided to magically transform from a blonde white dude to black middle aged man with kids. Truly one of the moments of movie-history!
For the rest of my life, I will not understand looking at one of the most irredeemable, heartless villains of this franchise, a blue-eyed blond racial supremacist who is literally trying to engineer a worldwide genocide of "lesser people", and going, "I know, let's make him black!"
Seriously, wtf. They had their favorite villain stereotype all wrapped up and ready to go, right there where the fans would defend that decision to the death, and they couldn't even do THAT right!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
T virus is really devastating if left in a zombie long enough , Leon and Chris weren't trying to survive, they were ending the zombies suffering
@@YouWillBeHappyOrElse While Wesker can be classified as a racial supremacist(or maybe species supremacist might be better) I guess, it's not really a black and white issue it's more like a new vs old issue.
This is certainly one of the shows of all time!
Hey guys, what if we make Wesker into Blade?
These days, after countless disappointments, I no longer have patience for, or trust in, shows. If a show starts off stupid, I simply stop watching it.
This one I stopped right after the scene in the school cantina where the meat eating kids were picking on and attacking the vegans.
Yeah, this is clearly a realistic depiction of reality where militant vegans storm restaurants, compare eating meat to the Holocaust and call non-vegans murderers or Nazis.
Why is it that every modern "strong female character" have to be written as a horrible role models for young women?
Because the writers are horrible people
it's because they are now universally casting looks over actual acting talent. If they can present the "message" via an attractive face then it doesn't seem so blatant, apparently.
@@Genericusername1004 Apparently. Because this is their version of protagonists.
It feels like these writers are angst-filled people who want expose the horrible things that have happened to their life and this is how they do it.
And to answer your question: probably because they feel like such people have the right to be horrible.

@@zetagundam20x no! Please tell me you are joking. That is a sacred show that shouldn’t be touched.

Wesker's trip to Africa(RE5) really changed him!!!
I felt awful for Lance Reddick. This series did not deserve him to try so much
It should be called "Lance's Resident Evil".
Don't feel bad for Lance Reddick. He took this role, knowing he was going to be playing a tokenized, sloppy seconds version of Albert Wesker (and apparently, a Dollar Store version of Blade - WTF?!?! hahaha). He deserves to get caught in the shitstorm of criticism from fans of this IP.
@@och70 Sadly, that is the true Albert Wesker's outfit after code veronica until dying in a volcano. At least, he had a missile for an arm and saw a human punching a boulder before he died. Also, he has a bastard son.
Dont feel awful, he did his best and made the show bearly watchable for me because he did a great job imho.
I agree, the movie is better if he play as ordinary Raccoon survivor in this case Highschool principal who try to save as many people during outbreak and not Albert Wesker. That makes his character more humane.
It looks like the writer just stamp original characters name and hope that the drama will create some attention.

My theory is that modern "creators" take our complaints about movie or series X being terrible as a personal challenge to write something more terrible.
Imagine coming to a restaurant and then after you've asked for a nice steak they bring you a tasteless "vegan" piece of crap, call you an animal-killer, spit in it and wait for you to pay them, meanwhile a bunch of people clapping to owners for their bravery and not even buying anything. That's what happening right now with every major media outlet.

RIP Lance riddick. Its sad his last series was this shit show
Thanks for the great review. I started episode 1 of this show, thinking it might be somewhat okay, like witcher season 1.
Not god or great but watchable.
But before episode 1 had ended, I gave up.
So thanks for giving me the story of the show, and saving me 6-7 hours of missery.
Can’t get over Jade saying the zombies aren’t dead, their brain has been rewritten. Cut to zombies trapped underwater than coming to life when brought on board.
Someone should tell the writers that a rewritten brain doesn't cause people to have necrotic flesh.
It’ll be fine
They're zeroes, not zombies! lol
It's against zombie culture to say they r bags of flesh, they just are misunderstood codes... uh i mean motions
@@3-2bravo49 rewritten brain doesn’t allow breathing underwater or avoiding dying of blood loss by ripping your own arm off. Rewritten brain is a super power like flight or laser eyes.
This show is terrible, but God bless Lance Reddick cause at least he was having fun selling the shitshow dialogue.
thus proving we'd watch Lance Reddick in literally anything. ;p

Look at how selfish were people including our leadership during a pandemic, happily partying or going to work even when they did not feel well just because they would not receive sick leave or look lazy not to mention big brain moment of going to protest against police brutality/mask wearing during a pandemic that eventually killed over a million Americans and then ask yourself...
Why would young teenagers full of hormonal activity with brains still under development and next to zero life experience should behave any better??? Considering that our population was perfectly aware of the consequences of COVID-19 while girls did not know anything about the virus, nor even though anything like it was possible, just have various hints and unconfirmed conspiracy theories they may not trust enough to act upon...
@@IonorRea i never even though of it that way they are trying to push pandemic lokdown messaging in this movie to. Also on a side note evryone ignored all the lockdowns because the goverment was not being veary tranparebt and the virus just was not a threat to most people so they just did not see it as a threat.

@@falaramal3979 FACTS
Imagine being vegan in a world where it is literally impossible to be vegan
Well, i have accurately calculated that if you intake over 117% of required potassium and excessively consume salt your stomach acid can be strong enough to dissolve grass so theoretically you could live off of grass, provided that grass isn't lethaly moldy or dry out of it's lines.
Aaaaaaaand you would be dead. Because the human body would tap out long before your stomach acid would get that strong as well as your stomach literally couldn't contain it thus you would die from stomach acid. Effectively eating yourself to death.
I would rather just not be vegan. Also let's point out the fact you would need resources to keep vegetation like that sustainable for people. Which would take more resources then just eating meat
Is that like the world where you can pick your own gender?

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant and Hilarious! I have zero desire to see something like this series. I don't need that kind irritation in my life! Many thanks! (and thank you again! A boring Friday evening and I saw the title on Netflix and reviewed this again. Whew! A close call!
Thanks for saving my time...
Was watching for a few minutes and kept getting an awkward feeling, like the actors are behaving like NPCs... That's when I thought, it's probably better to watch a review first :p
Thank you kind sir for your sacrifice, so that others may not have to endure the agony themselves.
"The Critical Drinker", watching those horrible movies/shows and saving us the torture assures you of a place in ... heaven! 🙏
Sadly, he didn't save me this time. Well, I made a drinking game and I blackout the memory of dance sequence and clones.
I've avoided so much garbage by following Drinker.
I tried watching it and couldnt finish. Its so bad.
saved us a week of garbage.. rather be exercising!
Now when i want to see movie i check youtubers if they say is woke!
I’ve only had the joy of watching the first episode, and the moment Wesker’s two daughters decided to break into the Umbrella building using his voice recording as a way to trick security it was him, when hours earlier they required FACE RECOGNITION, I realised the show was relying on plot convenience. I don’t even care about spoilers because it’s good enough reason not to watch it, and I agree with everyone that Lance is too good for this!
Honestly... it is very difficult for me to get through this review alone and I am a big fan of the Drinker. I genuinely hate to imagine the pain and suffering he must've went though trying to watch this G-dless, f**ked up piece of shyte.
I watched all of it and trust me you shouldn’t bother.
Man how did tou make it past the first minute or 3 The very first zombie closeup on the opening scene. I decided never wil I watch another minute of this BS. Season one of the walking dead did far a better job than this.
I watched 10 minutes I couldnt get over the young girls attitude for no reason she pissed me off and I cut it off stop making resident evil live adaptations or if they do make it korean hire the guy from train to busan
The worst plot hole was when strong female character threw the pheromones at her feet and not a single zombie chased her
What people don't realize is that this series wasn't made for fans of the game. It was made for people who like(d) The Walking Dead and other zombie-related shows. And wouldn't you know it, most viewers of those types of shows are indeed teenagers. So yeah, the teenage angst would make sense to those viewers. Not very interesting for those of us who are adults and have, you know, a life.

Wait?! WTF?! I was wondering why Drinker showed a scene from Blade is this video! Is that really from Resident Evil???!!! 🤣
The female power influx is especially weird since the games were actually pretty good about that kind of thing. Most of them split the difference with strong female and male characters, both playable and NPCs. Chris, Jill, Leon, Claire, Ada, Sheva, and Berry are all as capable and competent as each other and I think that's a lot of why those characters are popular.
Also the first game actually makes a clear difference between characters. Chris, a male, is physically stronger than Jill, and it shows by him being able to carry more items, and being able to take more hits. Jill doesn't have those, but she have skills like lockpicking.
Now try having that in the current world...
Don't forget Rebecca, Sherry, and Helena.
@@ravenousmask4159 Jill had more slots than Chris.
@@ElBandito Oh, u right. Jill got more slots. I remembered wrong, it's not carry more items, it's the ammo and weapons you find playing Chris.
@@ravenousmask4159 just shhh
Imagine a story in which every single character is both unlikable and only capable of making the worst possible decision in any given situation.
That is Netflix's "Resident Evil".
I genuinely can't tell if it was a multimillion dollar joke that the writers room somehow got away with, or if the writers legitimately don't understand the very basics of human behaviour.

@@reidflemingworldstoughestm1394 I mean, you could have ended it in the presidency being a joke so it would make at least bit of a sense in this context.. but then I guess it could be every American president.. Well, maybe keep it to yourself next time.

What's funny is that Capcom themselves did make 2 solid Resident Evil movies themselves: Degeneration & Damnation (sadly both direct to DVD)
I have a feeling that Capcom forgot that RE fans are around 40 or that group was completely ignored by them not the first time.
I like how the protagonist manage to keep her hair totally stylized even in the Post Apocalyptic world! Zombies must be really good hairdressers!
OMG! That bugged the shit out of me. How the hell is she so well groomed at the end of the world . I mean eyebrows and hair were on point while she was running from zombies .
She's got fringe benefits
I NOTICED THAT ISH!😠
She's campin out in the open? In zombie-zone?
Runnin an experiment 20 effing feet away from a horde? Only BU plan is to run? And fall?
All with a post-apocalyptic "hairdo."
fukowdahere 🤨
Do you not know that girls know how to cornrow their own hair?
Very stunning and brave!
The fck up of Resident Evil really started when they got the literal perfect Jill Valentine (played by Sienna Guillory) and chose to make her a side-character. She could’ve carried the entire franchise-given her charisma, dedication to her role (with her even playing RE3 to better understand Jill), and her overall likability- with a far better script and plot.
I almost completely forgot that Hollywood used to cast well at least if nothing else
Yeah but Milla Jovovich was fucking Paul WS Anderson, so Resident Evil got to be a vehicle to make action movies about milla jovovich.
@@brentharlow3559 pretty much. God i hate those two
Sienna was spicy
I've always wanted her to come back to the role
everytime you do that "the message" thing,
something in my head starts "broken glas evrywhere
peoplepissinonthesteps like they just don´t care"
I am so sorry you had to sit through this entire series to bring us this review. It looks like the worst thing ever made. Thank you for your sacrifice.
I'm actually convinced they do the race swapping on purpose just to see how many fans they can actually piss off.
They want to destroy everything you like and replace it with generic woke torture.
Absolutely
Yep and then call them toxic r-words and promote the true agenda of the message. To divide and conquer.
They do it on purpose to demoralise wht people, men in particular. It's a psyop.
Yep. They call it "Pissing the right people off" or something..
I like how apparently in the post apocalyptic setting, they still have well trained hair stylists and enough hair dye to go around. Don't they have more important shit to worry about?
.. but how would you know it’s the same character as their younger counterpart if the adult version of them didn’t have exactly the same haircut?? 😂
Radiation works in mysterious yet fabulous ways👏🏾
No. Women have the right to buy a hair dye and make themselves look beautiful. Also, patriarchy. Also, fuck reality. This is a movie for kids or something
Have you ever played the Resident Evil games?
The writers clearly didn't.
And that is why I have been hooked up with Warhammer 40k and anime for over 5 years now.
American series went downhill and never recovered in general with just some rare gem here and there.
Jeez, many fanfics out there have more creative value than whatever the idiots writing this stuff have managed to produce.
"Dressed him as blade" dude I can't breathe
It's actually IMPRESSIVE just how bad this is. It's like they picked a fanfiction off Tumblr that a 17 year old girl wrote. The script was probably written in crayola crayon.
Exactly. It really did feel like that to me.
I'm pretty sure there is an AO3 fanfiction out there with the exact same fucking premise of post-apocalypse T-virus hellhole.... but written way way better than this. Though considering that it's fanfiction, there would also be copious amounts of shipping detracting away from the plot, but I'd rather take that over braindead teenage angst.
Lance Reddick would probably do a great job VOICING Wesker in a game or something. Definitely got the voice for it.
Finally its here *YES*
*czcams.com/video/mCfYi7634rU/video.html*
He deserves better
I keep trying to hear Reddick doing classic Wesker lines. Try hearing Lance say, "No! Don't open that door!"
Out of everything that's so bad in this show, Lance is one of the few bright spots. The man has talent and gives it his all, despite the admittedly odd casting.
@@chasehedges6775 No, no he doesn't. He's a talented actor and doesn't need to do shit like this for a paycheck. He had a choice and he made it.
Just as I was about to comment about how Wesker looked like Blade... you beat me to it. XD
I'm from future here:
The show has already been cancelled by Netflix.
*Insert J Jonah Jameson laugh*
It has to be said: teenage girls are actually that irresponsible.
Not my daughters.. We taught them better.
But they could have still not made the conflict so forced because every bad thing legit happens because the girls are IDIOTS. It could've been fixed if they balanced each other out like the extroverted one who was arrogant was told off by her twin who was more responsible.
@@SynnJynn As someone's daughter yourself, your "stamp of approval" is meaningless.
@@SynnJynn destroyed.
@@SynnJynn I'm sure they're just as special as everyone else's daughters.
Honestly when it comes to “strong female characters” it’s starting to get a bit ridiculous. These writers think they can take the toxic men personality that people didn’t like on screen and just give it to the female characters. if no one liked that on men why would they like it on women either. It just gives you these cold asshole characters that are never likeable not to mention they’re just flipping it around instead of making it actual equality. The whole thing just pisses me off
Very well put. Couldn't agree more.
When men do it, it's toxic. When women do it, it's "standing up for yourself", or "expressing your power", or... pick your hackneyed phrase of the day.
Seriously, read some of the books meant for children these days; it's cringe-inducing. Girls: "You can do anything! You are awesome!" Boys: "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING WITHOUT PERMISSION!"
My friend you are asleep on politics. I can't blame you but saying that the portraial of women and men is "starting to get rediculus" is an understatement.
List the films that have many man in them and woman that reflect the actual qualities of woman. You will find it's has degraded since cinema started. So why should the cultural marxists stop now? The audience has slowly been boiled to the point where most movies have nothing in common with real life. They move closer to the shit Marcuse wants to see in the world.
They just entered overdrive. Time to stand and speak up now or you will never see films like James bond or top gun ever again
They probably want to show, "Woman can be what ever they want." even evil/bad.
Those traits didn’t become toxic in men until they gave them to women. Since the dawn of civilisation (i.e. post tribal), what would be considered masculine traits have been the governing paradigm; what gets laughingly referred to as “the patriarchy”. So once women were given equality in the areas they didn’t have it before (but conveniently got to keep their supremacy in any other areas) then in order to compete in society they adopted masculine traits. But since they still couldn’t compete with those traits (almost because those traits have some kind of, oh, I donno, *biological* source), then the narrative had to be changed so that when a woman demonstrates them it’s “strong” but when a man demonstrates them it’s “toxic”.
i love this review lol loved how you included the clips from the ogiranl games lol
It was virtue signaling minority porn. It was and still is a hard pass. I appreciate you covering it. Very entertaining!
Being a Resident Evil fan is like being in an abusive relationship, you remember the good old days but now you might get a delightful surprise or might get a punch to the gut, it's a roll of the dice really.
It's been downhill since RE3..
mostly punches to the gut TBH
The Village was an insult and yet people ate it up.
Its so stupid how they could never make a decent movie/tv show based off the game. I mean they could of even made a TV show based around the game story but about other characters we never got to see. That would of been something and they could still of used the diverse cast they seem to love. I mean race changing Wesker is a big no for me.
@@alanepley4326 Original or remake? Cause this is a dumb statement if it's for the original.
The moment the character who had Billie Eilish hair showed up, listening to Billie Eilish, and was called 'Billie', this show got paused and turned into a drinking game.
We had alot of fun watching it as we downed our beverages and recreated what we assumed the writers room conversations must have been like.
In that regard, I would recommend this show.
Although, at this point a Netflix subscription should subsidise their own brand of alcohol.
I turned it off in the first few minutes when the girl who has supposedly been living around and studying the zombies for years isn't wearing anything protective and is so careless she cuts her arm on a piece of metal getting up, looks like i saved myself 8 hours of torture.
Are you sure she and Jade are twins? I think she's adopted.
I'm so glad I didn't watch this series. x.x
I thought the CGI version in Japanese I saw on Netflix awhile back was a perfect Reboot and was actually good!
It really seems like we didn't need THIS ^^^^ 'reboot' though! xD
