      True, Nemesis not intelligent as Wesker but Nemesis is still pretty smart especially than most other B.O.W.s
      Nemesis follows orders, recognizes S.T.A.R. member's faces through photos that were shown to him by the people at umbrella, knows how to use weapons, recognizes weapons because when ever Jill shoots Nemesis with the grenade laucher Nemesis dodges it, and quickly shoots down Jill's escape helicopter because Nemesis knew she would use that to escape.

      The Uroboros is supposed to symbolize infinity. The constant cycle of life, death and rebirth, which is what his ultimate goal was for the world. He felt the world could only be saved by allowing it to die and then be resurrected into a perfect form. Thence, he named the tool he would use to make it happen Uroboros.

    @damian_cross Před 8 měsíci +881

    I think the its worth mentioning that as Wesker progresses onward he's given quite a bit of encouragement from the circumstances around him. His body responds to the viruses by turning him into a supervillain whereas nearly all others are simply turned into monsters. This leads Wesker to believe that he's destined to control the world, and it makes his defeat at Chris' hands all the more humiliating. Chris and Jill were supposed to be STARS leftovers. Wesker took out one STARS team easily and it seemd he could do the same to Chris and Jill rather easily, which is why he treated them more as playthings than serious threats. By the time Resident Evil 5 rolls around, Wesker and can barely believe Chris is still alive, much less beating him. Then Chris punches a boulder...yeah I got nothing from that point on.

    I'm glad you realized that even if Wesker himself decided to do evil, he became what Spencer and Umbrella made of him. You can't treat people like sh*t and then expect them to be moral and normal people, the world creates its own demons, society creates its own demons, and then cries about it.

      Right. So many people are quick to say "well he had a choice" but as the video summarizes succinctly: "When pure evil is where your foundations lie, its no surprise when you come out reflecting exactly what they wanted you to be." We've seen many times before that it's extremely difficult to unlearn what you've been taught since your first breath. How many things do we do or believe just because our parents had taught us so? Props to OP for pointing out that Wesker's character is one steeped in tragedy.

      I've heard there is a psychological reason behind this. It's meant to hide a person's inner thoughts, because over 50 percent of emotions are read through a person's eyes, so when someone wears sunglasses it gives them a psychological advantage over others, which makes sense because Wesker has always had a mysterious and treacherous nature. He never wanted anyone else to know his true intentions.

    I always thought Wesker in 5 went off the deep end because he found out the truth from Spencer. Realizing he's a manufactured experiment instead of the perfect person he's been told he is since childhood made him snap and he acted out of impulse from then on. He impulsively gutted Spencer immediately after hearing the revelation, conducted experiments out in the open, threw away careful planning for straight up world domination, and for once got personally involved in Chris' affairs. Really makes me appreciate 5's Wesker more. The guy finding out his entire life was a lie made him lash out and say "screw it"

We see that he had an extremely abusive and traumatic childhood, and he has grown in to a mentality unstable sociopath who's crimes include armed robbery, murder, sexual assault, kidnapping, cannibalism, and every other crime under the sun. He at least has some redeeming qualities, such as his unwavering loyalty to his friends, professionalism on "jobs", and his brutal honesty.

      Lol well I think Albert Wesker himself would challenge you on what success actually meant to him. If you mean he would have been fine working as a CEO having weekend BBQ's, I think he would see a problem with this. Albert Wesker WANTED IT ALL!! This man didn't want to just be a part of the world, this man wanted WORLD DOMINATION!! And he was damn close to getting it with a number of successful accomplishments and wins over the franchise. I'd say his personality and traits suited him fine. And had he not had the final encounter with Spencer that pushed him over the edge mentally, he probably would have found another way to get what he wanted and succeeded. It was too much for his ego to handle that he had been manipulated his whole life. That's what really did him in. @@iBloodxHunter

He's not only the best villain in the Resident Evil series, but also one of the best villains in video game history. 10 out of 10.

    I think what makes wesker so unique is that he feels like a Human Computor:
    He's calm and Collected even when facing dangers, Quickly Analyse the Surroundings around him and even when his plan Doesn't work out his way, he Quickly adapts and make the best of the Situation. His voice actors craig burnatowski and D.C. douglas perfectly bring this aspect of wesker with his monotone and stoic voice, which is more like how a Computor whould talk.

I've just now looked into your videos and you're truly good at copying Douglas's voice while giving it your own touch. Also their's a bit of Richard Waugh who I always liked a bit more. Given that Douglas turned out to be quite the scumbag and the new Resi 4 Remake voice just frankly lacks the touch in my opinion , I really wish you that you will be Wesker's voice actor once. You deserve it since your just such a great fan. I just discovered you but you have my sub. Stay how you are with that amazing content. We will make it one time.

    You left out the fact that he was in a romantic relationship with an Edonian woman from 1990-1992 during his time as a US Army Officer. The woman became pregnant with his child, but she never told him and they broke up. His son, Jake Muller, was raised never knowing who is father was, and Wesker never knew he had a child. This is actually an extremely important aspect of his character as it ties in with the existential crisis he admits to having in The Wesker Report, and his curiosity as to how Birkin was able to live in two worlds (the world of Umbrella and a normal life with a wife). The two year romantic relationship he had with a civilian woman shows that he had an interest in “normal experiences” and that he had more than enough opportunities to change his life, but he put his ultimate goals above everything else. It’s a deeper look into his psyche.
