![Thunder Force - Angry Movie Review [The WORST Superhero Film?]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ENReZDWHo8Q/mqdefault.jpg)
You said it Joe. How the hell do they keep getting this wrong?! The freaking ego around everybody in the studio.
They don't see it that way. As far as they are concerned, they sell tonnes of games, films, merch, ad space, and tertiary services to the parents of todays kids. They are milking the shit out of all the old IP's because the work has already been done! They don't need to pay artists or anybody really just two or three developers and it takes half the time.
@@DailyCorvid the people who made this show do not sell the games... They paid for a license, nothing more.
2 reasons : 1-capcom. 2-Hollywood : they did it before 3 times 2 with the RE games and 1 with monster hunter and all of them were bad they just want to make a quick buck no matter how bad the product is cause none of the main game devs are involved in decision making
@@grilledleeks6514 You are missing the point, licencees aren't getting that licence for free.
They pay money to get a licence to make one or two games, then that's all they do. Meanwhile the license owner [one who sells them on] gets all the cash I was talking about, and then will continue to recycle all the old IP's that they can in this way.
That's the reason why all the old IP's get fucking ruined by new teams - they are not bad developers, they are not social spies trying to brainwash you, they are not making political points because they care about the points!! That is the point.
Not who they sell licences to... Like Subway restaurants are a franchise with 1000s of restaurants, who ALL DO WHAT THEY ARE TOLD or they lose it.
And who is taking in all that lovely money, now that that model has made them the most profitable fast food chain with the highest number of restaurants?
NOT the person with the one licence, it's the licence owner! You see? And that's what happens with all the IP's we loved.
They are reusing all the old ideas, concepts, art, music, everything - so they don't need to pay people to make new stuff, they just stick 2 devs on the project and it's very easy and quick. But it makes BANK for them.
Why would they spend time and money making a new IP that might not generate interest, when they can reuse old ones which already generate their own?
That's the industry now. It doesn't matter what the lore of the IP was, or who's getting the licences and what they are making. It is COMPETITION within the industry, where the leader goes others follow.
The leader is not the person who buys a licence in order to make quick money! It is the person who sold licences in order to make quick money.
@The Rotten💯 I can say as someone who watched this train wreak, their not trying to fit a social agenda in this. When Lance Reddick is allowed to channel Albert Wesker he becomes Albert Wesker it's a lot like Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. The problem is the writers took every zombie property and smashed it together in hopes of attracting fans of zombie flix. Then in their genus decided to recreate Riverdale and Sabrina in the past sections to attract the youth. Studios maximizing the audience outside the core is the problem. Why create something good that might catch on when you can just workshop the script to have a little bit of everything.
How hard is it to make a resident evil adaption like just hire people and writers that are both fans of the series and know the source material of the games
The producers who make the film literally don't care about the quality. Almost every single live action Resident Evil is produced by mostly the same people.
Hell no, they followed the halo tv show formula and hired people who don't give a shit
it conflicts with the need to make money
They did that last year but didn’t give them a budget.
It’s crazy how this and the Witcher both have the BEST source material and should therefore at LEAST be passable but both Have been disgraced by Netflix 💀
Anyone else notice if one zombie is fighting with Jade the others stand back and watch? It’s like they are determined to make it a fair fight. Also lots of hesitation from the zombie actors as they get close to the actors they are chasing
Yeah but in zombie culture everyone gets a fair one. Zombies like throwing hands it's how they choose their leader. You know like communism
Sorry it's always like that in movies, it's just very plain and visible in this one.
Agreed I kind of felt all felt like they could’ve use some more Anna training like proper follow through proper direction and what they should actually be doing well I don’t know add more people made the zombies seem more disoriented Could’ve worked as well like in the game you make them sick and slightly more disoriented or farther than they actually are or oddly slower until we get to a certain diameter like they do in the game could’ve worked
@@Avatariuz OF COURSE some characters have plot armor. The problem here is that in a single cut you can see zombies chase characters full speed and make the decision to slam the brakes so they don't catch them.
For me that was a first. You can find better directors all over RUclips. It's unbelievable how many untalented f*cks make it to mainstream entertainment nowadays.
The Plot Armor around Jade is ridiculous, specially when the Lickers attack, they just inmmediately killed each and everyone of the extras in seconds…but when it’s time to kill Jade the licker just decides to act “cool” in front of her
It’s so frustrating that everyone that has tried for a RE live action movie or a show has failed miserably. I mean the stories are already written and they have mountains of Lore, characters, enemies, monsters and potential set pieces to pull from. Again it’s so frustrating.
The first few Resident Evil films were quite close to the games in story and tone, but that didn't work out to well for them from a fan perspective.
Even the animated movies started out with pretty good movies, then we got Vendetta and Infinite Darkness. They just need to stop.
@@raidengoodman8754 The rail gun in Vendetta did more damage than the enemy lol ID has really chunky cgi and not too good story
Certain things are not meant to be turned into live actions. RE franchise should remain CGI movies or CGI series.
I would like to robert rodriguez or neil bloomkap would make a resident evil horror movie
Alex summarized the thought process of the creators best: 10:56
"This is Resident Evil."
"It doesn't feel like it."
"No, it is! We bought the licenses and everything!"
There was a certain scene in the beginning of episode 1 where Wesker answers the phone and he's walking up the stairs because he mentioned he had to take the phone call. He says Wesker when he answers and I'm assuming he was talking to Wesker so I was thinking okay great this guy is just a third party character who's going to end up doing something crazy because his character is played by a famous actor but as it turns out no actually LOL that is Wesker. that's what I realized the show was taking a different route until I learned that it is a continuation of the games and that's when I'm hoping that they are all clones and we see some semblance of any other characters from the games to maybe hopefully bring this show full circle.
This is what happens when people who makes this movie are manatees in disguise.
He summarized his privilege and dork status.
It’s actually remarkable how many studios and companies try to make a Resident Evil thing, refuse to just copy the game, end up with a poorly received flop, and then do it all over again. Real talk!!
It’s #1 on Netflix. How is it poorly received? 🤔
@@dwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww people checking out a brand new show that has Resident Evil in the title doesn't mean it's being well received.
@@JDKT002 fact and plus Netflix probably put this trash show in their number 1 spot to get people to watch it
I loved the Mila Jovovitch movies. I think I'm in the minority though.
@Kerama Fpv The 3rd one was my favorite, with the 2nd being a close second, followed by the 1st. The rest of the movies are all decent, but Alice having superpowers is what made the first 3 so good. I didn't like seeing her as a normal human.
For me, the mistake they made here is the same as the movies. The whole post-apocalyptic angle never happens in the games. Tell individual stories about survivors escaping from individual outbreaks in each movie or series. It really isnt that difficult.
literally what Resident Evil Outbreak for the ps2 was and i wish we had more of that both shows/movies and games
Agreed and they could kind of get away with this of the properly hinted in the main course of the story you know like the one from the game if you don’t like survivors that may be met them at one point or maybe to talk about tidbits about the actual game like what the actual main characters in resident evil we’re like going through if they were just like this oh this is happening right there we have to avoid this whole thing and that would’ve seemed kind of cool if it was just survivors and that sends it would still give you a sense of all this really is resident evil but it doesn’t do that It kind of sucks because of that if you know how to do it well they didn’t they wouldn’t have to do a whole copy paste of the game which I still think they should do they could do something like in the same timeframe in the same universe in a different area and properly hint at the main purpose of the story which is the characters in the game and what they’re going through like raccoon city oh we were in the edge of raccoon city and blah blah blah and we have to go through it to get to the other side block and they maybe they cut them right when they were leading the train in Resident evil two they were supposed to get on it they completely fucking missed it something went wrong they have to go a completely different way that would’ve worked they are not taking any intentive to go towards the story itself
That's what I'm saying like why do they keep doing this
to be honest the best resident evil show would probably would not be in the point of view of one of the main characters but more of a survivor. like small stories during the zombie out break or from multiple zombie out breaks we know happen in the resident evil games. black summer did this point of view thing where you feel like your rewatching a whole episode from someone else point of view to fill in plot holes which i hated but here may make sense. each of the survivor stories could connect. we can have on survivor story that does make it towards the end which gives hope to the audience.
example: one of the survivor stories could be a bus full of passengers trying to make it cross a bridge to the other side but their story ends with them running and pushing vehicles out of the way with said bus. their bus makes it towards the end but crashes due to mutated zombie. the driver decides to blow up the bus and its 125 gallon fuel tank as a last ditch fuck you to the mutated zombie that just killed everyone and is stalking outside the bus. the explosion begins another story of a group who sees the bridge is clear and the fireball, since the mutated zombie is badly wounded and on the run the second group doesnt meet it and makes it safely thru. this group demise or actions effects another story that pops up with this one is over. in the end only one group makes it or a special character does with the goal being just to survive. they can even show the bau that christ redfield works for in action using tactics to subdue the zombies with the story characters actions playing a key difference from luring zombies away from a drop off point, killing highly dangerous mutated beast so soldiers wouldnt not being overwhelm or even weaken specifics ones so chris can exploit it.
If they wanna make another zombie post apocalyptic thing, house of the dead is right there, unused
When we finally got to see the OG Wesker in his attire he’d wear in the video game I thought I was seeing Blade for a second lol
You start the video and you see Alex in the middle, and by looking at him, you knowright away it's BADDDDDDD. Then Joe says, we will watch another 5 episodes and you see the look of horror on Alex face. Hillarious.
Alex was really questioning if his job is worth it lol.
LMAO. I secretly think Joe watches this shit just to torture Alex!
I wouldnt watch it if i wasnt paid look on alexs face
Alex examines nails…Frown deepens…picks nails…
The moment they made it woke in the previous film you already knew it was gna be bad on top of the fact the previous movie was not good at all the only good thing was the casting for Chris but they made his character a pussy the exact opposite of what his character is but they did that so Jill can save him and be the badass lmfao
When OJ said "Now we're dealing with bullies and high schools... is this Resident Evil? I forgot what I was watching at times..." That resonated with me so much because I had this exact feeling during one of the flashbacks. I completely forgot that I was watching Resident Evil and I thought I was watching some teen drama.
OJ Simpson watched this????
The good old Halo maneuver. Use an established IP to sell a B grade script
@AtheJbaka Please go on. Explain why being racist has anything to do with it.
No matter what a Netflix show is about, horror, sci fi, action..somehow Netflix just HAS to add teen drama or a love triangle and they make damn sure there's at least an episode set in a school or college if they can't make the whole show in that setting...like, damn...please stop!
I thought this was the new Blade movie wth...
Blade is a BADASS in this show. Cross-over of a lifetime baby!
blade wants his sword back he is pissed that his sword was taken.
“Listen Jeffery. We need a new pitch, a new show to bring in the youth demographics”
“Well my teenage son doesn’t talk to me but I did notice him playing this video game… *checks notes* ‘Resident Evil’? Do kids like video games?”
“I’ve already got the Wikipedia page pulled up (what the hell is ‘Biohazard’…?). We can definitely make a show about this. Great work, Jeffery!”
It’s an IP. The IP owners had to agree to pimp out resident evil for this.
"there's not a single adult to be seen anywhere in this entire episode... or in the writing room" 🤣 Alex
I loved how the first time the Umbrella laboratory has a guard that tries to do his job, the CEO fires him. Big brain move.
No wonder why security trash. They scared to go their jobs. They scared to land headshots because they get shot by a drone
Thats umbrella for you they dont care for employees
Wt did u expect? The ceo's whole motive is to keep the wife happy,like literally thts all she wanted by creating a potentially apocalyptic drug dosed with the t virus..aughh gahd and I thought Simmons was a bad villain,fr this show made me take back everythin I said about Anderson movies yes even the final chapter
tbh that actually happens in real life too lol
Galaxy brain!
I think majority of the people will agree that anything Netflix or Amazon adaptation is NOT canon no matter what big corporations say.
This series makes the Mila Jovovich movies look like oscar worthy movies
The biggest thing that always continues to boggle my mind when people try to make these live-action adaptations but choose to either ignore the source material, try to make something for a new audience, or worse yet: create brand new characters to act as the audience insert instead of utilizing creative writing and storytelling to explain the story; all of that, the one thing I keep thinking is this: "Who did you make for for, and do YOU even know who you're making this for?"
Fanboys need to stop whining and get over themselves lmao
No not for a new audience. Maybe alittle. But i feel like they were testing introducing new characters and villains for the series as a whole.
@@mikelee9474 keep saying that as Hollywood burns every franchise to the ground with their “creative” injections.
Massive egos by no talent hacks
@@mikelee9474 Ctiticizing isn't "whining". Crying about criticism is whining.
Alex is the peoples' champion of these reviews.
Like me 😏
You can see it in his face before he even gets a chance to speak.
correct because he tries to be more genuine... when Jow tries to act his part, as in hi wants the message, because who knows how many people in his circle will cut him if he dares speak his mind... Don't Ask Questions, Just Consume Product and Then Get Excited for Next Products
Ya I used to think he was overly negative, but he's pretty spot on. I also think I've gotten more negative with all the regurgitated trash that keeps getting put on screen
Agreed. A lot of people just think he's a negative hater, but I'd say he really just has a low tolerance for mediocre crap. I also like that he usually has some good insights into what is or isn't working in something as well as potential ways to fix it.
Company: "Everyone loves Resident Evil Games... I wonder Why?"
Players: "The story and lore is awesome!"
Company: "Lets make up a completely different story and change the lore!"
Absolutey love Lance. Top top actor. Shame that we exist in a world where this show lives and Raised by Wolves gets cancelled.
That's the magic trick: it's not alive, it's undead.
This just came on, that other show has been on
His appearance on the Eric Andre show is one of the best moments in television lol
Alex face at the start gives this review away 😄
Saves me from watching it lol
INDEED
You, mean the fact he is so ashamed of watching this, he’s hiding his face and facepalming, all in one gesture?
(Not religious but...) god bless Alex. The man has standards, and violates them often so we don’t have violate our own.
Not even 2 seconds and you get the feeling.
Alex is always a disappointment loser who cares about him or his opinion dude should off himself
In the famous words of MoistCritikal "What is the point of taking beloved franchises and completely bastardizing them until they're unrecognizable from the source material?".
Wokeism is the point in my opinion
Bcz black pepol da best 🤓
Maybe because they're aware that without the big IP name their show won't do well at all or they're TREMENDOUSLY that fuckin oblivious and stupid that they think this would somehow be a good show. Considering how Hollywood has been this last decade and how they treated other video game adaptations, it's very safe to say the latter option couldn't be any more true
its another statue to tear down
Important rule: Don't make franchises into live action or animation TV shows or movies if you can't respect the source material. Plain and simple
This is filmed exactly like Halo, Netflix must have seen how much everyone loved that show and decided to write it the same way... this is just the "silver timeline" of the RE universe
Lmao I was thinking the same thing
I laughed so hard at seeing "Wesker." I mean let's be real, they made Blade 😂
Nah bro I told my friends that he’s was called knife 🔪
That's how Wesker dresses though..
@@jackag24 its blade without his sword not wesker.
@@mrx-od3ji dude this show made me realize weskers design is basically a white blade
@@a_waff1es_0pinion76 yuuup show was bad too.
Incompetence, stupidity, narcissism and greed taken to extreme. This is how those shows/movies are made.
Done by people that neither know the lore, nor particularly care about it. Are not anywhere near talent or ability levels that would be required to tell those reimagined stories. Are convinced that anything they do is an absolute cinematic gold. And think that due to their "extreme talent" they should be showered with praise and admiration.
I love how Alex keeps dejectedly looking down at the table like he just wants to calmly say, "It sucks, don't watch it. I'm going home now. Bye." Lol
ew alex stans
Kinda sounds like something I'd do...
If he wasn't getting payed to suffer through it, I'm certain he would have.
The Alex indicator 😄
It doesn't suck
If you take that it has anything to do with Resident Evil out of your mind
It's actually a really fucking good show
They should’ve just made a one off movie about Jill valentine, Ada Wong and Alice. Or just make a movie of code Veronica X
I think biggest problem with the Resident Evil adaptations and just video game adaptations in general, is that Hollywood doesn't respect video games as an art genre. They think the source material is trash, so they always try to do their own thing and think a few references here and there will suffice. I think in most cases none of the writers, producers, or directors play the games at all. It's a shame. It should be an absolute requirement before they start doing anything. Unfortunately all they see are dollar signs from the built in fan base, whom they also don't respect.
No way that 20 years ago I would have believed there would be a halo, lord of the rings, Star Wars and resident evil show that all suck lol
Lord of the rings show hasn’t come out yet and some Star Wars content is actually good. But yea
@@zeroxgi doesn't make up for the fact the core main new trilogy was a enormous failure which spreads failure to everything connected to it
@@jeambeam3173 not true, but I’m sorry you feel that way
Its so sad... all of it is trash... whats worse, as a black nerd, is that the finger is getting pointed at "wokeness" for the reason its all trash completely ignoring the lazy monopolies who are producing passionless bs cashgrabs... what does my black ass have to do with that!? I just want to watch a deep, coherent, lore filled fantasy. Idc who plays what or how they look, just make it good.
Wish more fingers were pointed at the real issues. Its all just people with agendas crying about people with agendas
@@zeroxgi Very true, the sequels are an epic fail and their series has been more miss than hit
So Netflix's response to Paramount's Halo: take the name of a franchise everyone loves, slap it on a series that isn't about said franchise, then sprinkle in *just* enough member berries from the original franchise that shills can go "X franchise fans will never be pleased"
"We hate bad lazy writing"
Falcon and the Winter Soldier would disagree 😂👍🏻
"If someone's gonna play Wesker, it's Lance Reddick." Keep that in mind when you watch Episode 7. I can't believe he was okay with that sh*t. I just can't.
BLACK WESKER!!!
Okay with what, exactly? I've already seen the show but I don't remember anything being super bad about Wesker. Except maybe the clones thing, that was weird, but it sounds like that was a game thing as well.
What sh*t? I don't care about spoilers
@@albertjohnston1026 Wesker popping up in that silly leather clothing just looked silly and nothing like the Wesker in the game. He looked more like a cheap knock-off of Blade. That whole set-up made him look like a tool.
@@Dybicus Ah, got it. I never played the games so I didn't have anything to compare it to. That whole thing was just a little weird to me. It just came off a little comical compared to the otherwise mostly serious atmosphere.
Edit: The clones, that is.
That's Wesker? Thought for sure they'd gotten Wesley Snipes back to play Blade.😅
You can always tell if the verdict will be good or bad based on Alex's mood at the beginning of the video lol
I don't even watch the bad series you guys review anymore, I just listen to yall talk about them.
and them talking sht bout the series is more entertaining itself lol
I love how brutal Alex is. AJ always has a score 1 or 2 points higher than it should, but Alex is like, "fuck that. This is the score it should be!"
You can usually get a sense of the material they're reviewing by Alex's pose or expression in the thumbnail.
Any live action video game franchise is doomed to fail. So you might as well get entertainment out of watching Joe rant on it.
Same with me, I just watch this
I'm 4 episodes in myself and I kinda agree. It's pretty bad, characters are stupid and make stupid decisions. There's so much teenage drama and not enough horror elements. Lance Reddick is definitely the best part of it and without him, the series would've probably been close to trash. As is, I'm somewhat entertained by it, although half the time I just laugh at the stupidity of the characters. I'd give it a 4 or 5/10 at best. Its really astounding that they keep failing to make something actually good out of this franchise even 2 decades and 7 or 8 movies later.
They did actually write a line about the lab security. Boss lady told Security Dude to fire the security guard that was supposed to be covering the lab for not doing his job and Security Dude tried explaining the issue as it being that guy's first day on the job. Also, the only reason they were even able to get access was because Wesker "uses the same password for everything."
The writers are literally writing in reasons for these contrivances, which actually makes it MORE contrived. They're hanging lampshades like they have some sort of light sensitivity.
he is blade not wesker.
Alex’s body language is exactly how I felt watching this show lol
He is a bigot and a racist. He always dislikes non white actor/actress characters
Watched it till the end ?
Yup
Same! It's odd because I'm being shown zombies and umbrella but yet it feels soo fkn weird and i have to keep reminding myself I'm watching resident evil 😓
Jade in this show is an amazing unique character in television history. The only character that I hated in two timelines played by two different actresses of different ages. This should be an achievement! At first, I wanted zombies to eat her but after watching the 2 episodes I wanted the zombies to eat ME. Insufferable characters in an awful show!
She's the worst part of the show tbh
Only upside was zootopia porn, that’s my jam.
Thank you!! I thought I was the only one that was totally annoyed with Jade from beginning to end🤦🏿♂️
" _An amazing unique character_ "
Lol yep, she was as cookie cutter as they come.
she is definitely the character of all time
Can somebody step in & say “Nothing else can have a Resident Evil title unless it 100% is a direct adaptation from the game”.. Why TF is it so hard for them to understand what we want & have been waiting on???
All i want is HORROR from a resident evil show like the original games and I'm sure im not alone in this. Why can we not get that?
JUST when we get adaptations like Sonic the Hedgehog, Detective Pikachu, and Arcane we have THIS.
Hollywood....pay attention to the STARS of the class, not the DUNCES.
the STARS of the class cost more , the DUNCES are cheapper
Starrrrss
The parent conference was the scariest scene out of everything I saw. I feared for that IT guys life.
No joke lol. In a universe with monsters... that was the scariest thing haha.
You're right there was no tension or scares in any other scene. That says a lot about a show centered on zombies oh excuse me zeros.
He didn’t even threaten his life it was basically my dad will fire your dad shit was stupid
@@3442eatmyass It's not Albert Wesker it's his clone Al Wesker sometimes Al embodies Albert like in this scene but mostly he's only generically Albert Wesker. Also the two teenage girls are clones of Albert Wesker so it's mostly the Albert Wesker coming out in them to. I know it's a spoiler and I shouldn't but this very channel spoiled it in their mock trailer so I figured open game.
I too have seen so many Films & TV Shows that use established IP’s names but mostly have nothing to do with that franchise but could have stood on their own as originals if they used different original title names
This is the review I needed. I knew from the start the show was gonna a piece of s&@t. Just by seeing the reviews everyone is putting out, I saved myself from wasting my time. 🤣😂
Alex's face says it all
He is a bigot and a racist. He always dislikes non white actor/actress characters
I think Alex echoes the feelings of 99% of people who have watched this.
At least we'll always have the CGI movies.
Lol right
Awe man, RE: Vendetta? That shit gave us the Leon/Chris team-up that we've wanted to see for years! That badass hallway fight with hundreds of zombies is everything I ever wanted out of a Resident Evil movie
Yupp. Those are the only ones worth watching especially damnation. My personal favorite of those three.
At the very least the cgi movies are watchable and fun at least except the newest one
He is a bigot and a racist. He always dislikes non white actor/actress characters
The result of this show is a great example of how people get jobs because of connections and not because of talent/ability lmao.
If I don't like you I don't give you the job. It's not about what you can do, it's about if you're a good fit to our team. Grow up.
@@gijane2cantwaittoseeyou203 Are you trying to say nepotism and people being given jobs through connections isn't a thing? You new to the world or something?
Maybe you're just talking about low level jobs?
@@benmasta5814 Networking isn't nepotism. Connexions are more important than skills in 2022. You should improve your people skills instead of ranting here if you want to succeed.
I think the issue with resident evil is the same with everything in the film industry right now. A story that is in the similar realm/genre or poor writing and bad acting and using a famous name from a famous IP to sell it. be it games, books, comics, etc. They have butchered resident evil, star trek, monster hunter, honestly too many to name off. If these directors and writers can't sell their movie or show then they should scrap the idea. The funny thing about it is that the tables turned. For decades video game devs have done a terrible representation of great movies and shows.
Just when I thought it couldn't get worse than Cowboy Bebop, Netflix came out with this
Thank you. Like dude, wtf
Cowboy Bebop Netflix was basically a vandalization of the anime. THIS is fucking high school rejected fanfiction
yep
Never ever say it can't get any worse. Because it always does. Especially on Netflix.
@@Excalibur01 I made a horror movie in highschool for video productions class, it came out better than this... 6, 15 year old idiots with 2 hand helds and crappy computer that could hardly run our editor topped this, just based on feed back.
Alex: "yeah 3, fuck you"
I'm all for that brutal uncensored honesty 😂
Lance Reddick by far the best part, loved episode 7, he was great.....I choose Breadsticks
Back when I was a vagrant (2015-19) I used to rent from Redbox quite extensively and I'd always be watching these no-budget Sci fi movies like Chappie, Revolt or Criminal (and those are the good ones) and this show really does remind me of those movies. I'd almost respect the show more if he had nothing to do with Resident Evil.
The Parent teacher conference was the highlight of the series.
I agree
Not really. He's just businessman intimidating in business meetings. I think that why it was effective in the parent teacher conference... He's a good actor but I think they miscast him in my opinion.
Really resident evil vibes. Good job netflix.
I did like the scene where they had all of the cloned Weskers in one room. I found that little scene to be hilarious, especially when the real Albert Wesker shows up, does a few intimidating things to the clones and then high tails it out of there when Umbrella came a knocking.
Indeed, it was a great part... one of the few good ones.
What Alex rates the shows, when he's harsh; he's usually spot on. What ever AJ rates it I know to bring it down 3-4 points
Yup same with games
Alex today kinda reminds me of the angry joe from years ago. I miss that angry joe, but I'm thankful we have this trio to cover multiple perspectives.
Ok so if this is canon, why Would a new Umbrella name a subdivision new Raccoon City...wouldn't they want to keep distance?
Rat breaks through a glass container. Wesker catches it and puts it in another glass container.....
Why do I feel it's getting harder to get decent series/videogames/movies? What's happening to entertainment?
Businessmen and not creative people running it!
Ego is getting in the way of them learning about source material.
Real world social politics in fictional worlds, remakes, lack of originality to name a few
@@andygoog2786 I wasnt too concerned with the lack of originality, people making updated versions of things already out was passable to me but the social politics is the thing that has destroyed the entire entertainment industry for me
@@charg1nmalaz0r51 The two are often synonymous. A reboot/remake is sometimes done in order to shovel in social political themes to the universe and try to ahem *modernise* (nullify) the original in a sense CouGh *The Rings Of Power*
Forgot to mention Jades internal bleeding, concussion, open head would, numerous cuts and blood loss and the 2 broken legs from the 50+ foot jump.
Open head "would"? Don't you mean "wound"?? 😅
She also gets shot in the stomach lol. Jade is invincible lol
Is like she wasn't revealed to be genetically clone from Albert Wesker himself. What a shock. OMG.
She's the new Alice.
Ya know what Resident Evil really needed a crossover with? Mean Girls.
…Actually, no, wait, that sounds awesome, what am I saying?! High schooler and her bullies forced to rely on each other to survive a Resident Evil game! Ya got drama, ya got action, just put a rocket launcher or a powered mechanical punching glove at the end and you’re good. This isn’t hard!
What they need to do for a show or movie is make a prequel on how umbrella started and how the mansion was built. You get so much lore and backstory that we had to read in the games that you could easily make a story out of.
I just finished the whole show. And I'm sorry for what's coming for them if they decide to watch the rest.
Is it any good just as zombie series?
@KanashiiFX ok, thanks. You saved my time.👍
@@cr3amy479 the wesker fight scenes look soooo bad. It makes me sad. They look so low effort anf the least amount of fast coordination and at the samw time he makes jokes that are not funny. Like wtf?
I’m not gonna finish it. It’s shit. I have better things to do with my time
You like how Billie says early in the season that the whole thing is Jades fault but during alllll the flashbacks Jade never did anything other than help Billie…..who actually caused it all. It’s like the writers couldn’t even remember who did what in their own show.
"Its a 3 fuck you" I spat out my drink I was laughing so much. Alex you're a national treasure. Never change my dude. Giving it a 3 was incredibly generous in my book.
I agree with everything said. I wanted to like this and I wanted to enjoy this because my guy Lance Reddick was in it. I think I am just going to wait for a fan edit of all his scenes and just not watch the rest.
It's like they just slapped the Resident Evil title on it and said yeah this will bring in new subscribers. I am considering canceling my sub after this dog shit. I havent pulled up Netflix in a hot minute and I am tired of supporting garbage.
Alex, thank you for your service. You suffer so others don't have to.
I wouldn’t blame you.
I canceled my Netflix.
lol that was hilarious 🤣🤣. And yea they were giving some incredibly generous scores for this garbage. I'd give it a 2/10, with the only 2 points being off the strength of Lance Reddick himself. I love how everybody universally loves the guy too btw 🤣 He's far too good for his talents to be wasted on this pathetic show
I canceled my sub 2 months ago and honestly don't miss it one bit. Netflix used to absolutely rock, but nowdays it's a steaming pile. Save your money.
@@TheForbiddenOne55 I love my boi Lance Reddick. I play a ton of Destiny 2 and each movie he is in he is legit one of the best parts of that movie. John Wick for instance. The dude doesnt take away from John but while also being a pure badass himself. I generally love him in each roll he plays. Although I think I am just biased as fuck haha
I saw the review rating, I think it was 2.6 or something, but me personally. Giving it a flat zero would be generous! It deserves negative points for false advertisement!
"The T-virus doesn't kill people. It just rewires their brains." Jade says that in the pilot episode. So, non of the "zombies" are dead. How can this be canonical?
Never was.
If any of you are starving for a legitimately excellent zombie story, I *highly* recommend Michael Stephen Fuch's Arisen. Awesome, believable characters - no teen drama - a seriously excellent and entirely plausible origin story for the virus - and he follows his own rules, i.e. no getting covered in infectious zombie gunk cuz it looks edgy and cool (coughWALKINGDEADcoughcough) while acting like one bite or scratch is the end for you. MSF/his characters treat it like it is: a Group 4 infectious agent that YOU CANNOT MAKE CONTACT WITH. Which also means no zombies sneaking up on people (HA! sneaky zombies?? gtfo), while the character is just barely holding it off at arms length and then some other person makes a headshot at 50 ft, and somehow 1st person doesn't get sprayed with infectious zombie blood. He also had the balls to write a zombie story that acknowledges the existence of zombie "culture" within the story, sort of like the clever way Zombieland writers did.
It's by far and away the best zombie story out there. At this point, it's an oversaturated market with A LOT of dreck not worth your time. That is not Arisen. MSF took something as conceptually silly as The Zombie Apocalypse, and asked himself, "what pieces need to be in place for something that would look a ZA to take place?" It's *grounded*. At least as grounded as one can make a ZA story. Also, MSF deep, DEEP knowledge of military culture, protocols, ethos & tactics, makes it one of the best and most believable military/operator stories I've ever come across. Again, it comes HIGHLY recommended. There are over a dozen separate books (not thick reading), and the audiobooks are read by the great RC Bray.
Happy reading/listening, Angry Army!!
Train to Busan is a fantastic zombie movie if you haven't seen it /twocents
**GET WOKE, GO BROKE**
You can tell it's a CW, teen drama type show when the sexy teenagers run from the zombies while the Dawson's Creek theme plays, "I don't wanna wait...for our lives to be o-ver"
@KanashiiFX Don't ask. Just watch Smallville first few seasons.
@KanashiiFX American cable channel which caters to teen audience and produces mostly content for edgy and teens.
Nailed it.
Unless it is a tv show that literally adapts the games perfectly, the only resident evil tv show that I think would be pretty sweet would be based on the outbreak games. Call it Raccoon City, or just even Outbreak or something.
Netflix is going to blame the fans on the reason why it didn't do so well is because they're racist towards black Albert Wesker.
"All of us are dead" convinced me that you can do the teen drama in a zombie environment. I didn't think it could work until later on I found out it was about teens but by then I was all ready invested and hooked. It was being played at work and I walked by the break room everybody was watching too. Unfortunately this Resident Evil is not as captivating or intriguing.
Well in all of us are dead i cared about the characters, in this.... plz zombies just eat her
Yea but even there it was way over done at times. Teeny bopper drama that's dialed up to 11 is still crappy, just other parts of that show made up for it where in RE it's not made up for. The "bullying" in that show, just like this one, was so far out there, especially when the entire school and all the parents are just like lol it's ok we're just gonna brush this under the rug despite vast amounts of the student body knowing exactly what happened. Just like the smashing a burrito in her face in plain sight.. come on now, that's crap writing, just like the bullying scenes in stranger things 4. Modern woke impersonations of what "bullying" is are just shit, across multiple shows
Yes.
@@chomp7927 The writting in this RE can be a lot better but I don't agree in "All of us are dead" being crappy. I think they really knocked it out of the park for a zombie show. The show is for adults even though the protagonists are teens. It's kind of like "The lord of the flies" it was a book about kids being stuck in an island but in adult situations. They display that well in "All of us are dead" it answers the question: what would a bunch of smart high schoolers do in a zombie environment with life and death situations?" Sure the subtitles may not be for everyone but I did not mind it at all even the dub. They do alot of things right, 1 example is "the military." They are actually smart in the show. Unlike other shows or movies where the military is a joke. Other than "The walking dead" I don't see any other zombie show that you can compare it with, so I'd have to respectfully dissagree with you. It had me genuinely hooked, interested and engaged. The writting was a lot better than other zombie shows or movies. Plus It had a room of 10 -13 grown men and woman hooked. Nobody wanted to get up and leave 😂
@@Joel_FC YT keeps deleting my post.....
@@Joel_FC you didn't read what I wrote then.... I said the teen drama crap, specifically the bullying part was written crappy and WAY over the top and exaggerated. The rest of the show made up for it though, where as in RE the rest of the show also sucked. Go see what I wrote as it had nothing to do with everything you just said.
That being said, I can give the weird "dating" drama a bit of a pass being different cultures to an extent yet even there it was a bit over the top how 2 people that clearly liked each other went so abnormally out of their way to act in the opposite it was starting to get borderline too. Not enough to derail the show but it was starting to get grating. There was some other nit picky things but on the whole it was way better than this shit.
The depiction of bullying in TV nowadays, in this, in AOUAD, in stranger things 4, in most things, is just so over the top it's not believable anymore. You mean to tell me that and handful of highschool kids are going to force strip down a female student and then have her boyfriend record it and neither of them goes to any sort of authority? Or how when one guy stops it the victims are like nope we're going to go back and do it anyways and still not tell anyone. The first part could maybe be a hell of a stretch but maybe there's a very slim chance she's just that devastated that she and her boyfriend go along.... maybe, sure... but the guy that tried to save them? He's just gonna be like lol I tried, guess that's just that and all is well lol. Yea, right. Then in class the bully writes on her in giant letters pretty much that she's a ...sloot... and the ENTIRE class is all laughing and it's perfectly normal, not one single person says anything and the teacher who can clearly see something is off doesn't even bother to blink an eye at it? We live in the day and age where you can't even suggest that a preteen cutting off his johnson might require some thinking without an army of tick tock tweens going psycho and large swaths of "progressives" will try to ruin your entire family lineage but somehow that entire scenario played out and a large chunk of the school all were 100% ok with it?
Just by looking at Alex's image in the thumbnail I already know the outcome.
He is a bigot and a racist. He always dislikes non white actor/actress characters
Can't wait for that List Video, whatever the review the distinct reasons and how you explain your point of view is both enlightening as well as entertaining.
When Shaun Of The Dead is more resident evil then the Netflix series.
Every time I see Alex facepalming at the start I know I'm in for a good time :)
He is a bigot and a racist. He always dislikes non white actor/actress characters
When I saw Alex's face in the thumbnail, I figured "oh this is gonna be good!"
Not the show of course, it's trash. I mean Alex and the guys tearing into this dumpster fire.
He is a bigot and a racist. He always dislikes non white actor/actress characters
Lance carried the show . Really hoping Bert is okay
I noticed the new creatures/monsters are never on screen with the zombies and my wife pointed out it like they where making a monster movie and got told half way though it was now going to be a zombie movie and just had to spice in the already done CGI
I love how Billie or Jade(who cares)needed a face scan when going to visit her dad during the day but at night when they break in (and the place is completely unguarded) she just needs her dad’s voice from a phone 🤷♂️
Edit: wait till you guys see the shootout scene involving jade and Jack black umbrella guy with horrible dialogue and with funky 70’s porno music
Oh man the Fat John Wick was amazing lol
Pharma company that makes vaccines, medicine etc. and has military contracts AND on top of that has had multiple previous security breaches has their security defeated by two 14 year olds with a phone.
Billie*
@@vashdstampede2126 I thought the exact same thing when I saw it. A John wick that let himself go
I don’t understand the gripe behind that. Jack Black/John Wick was a dope scene. The choreography made me laugh. Guy was basically dancing with an AK-47
Honestly an adaptation where you retell the first 3 games with the characters looking like themselves and just add new details that would fit into the story and it would good
Agreed!
Oh yeah. I don't get why adaptations almost never just fucking adapt it. For the love of God fucking adapt the game,comic book,etc in your adaptation. You barely have to write anything. Just adapt what already exists.
They don't follow The Boys example, they follow this generations example, just throw a bunch of woke stuff and hope it sticks, when it fails they throw the whole painting in the trash and go to the next.
@@UrikShinoob agreed. You know... With the woke shit. I never got why they pushed divisive politics, that shit always does terrible. So maybe it's not about money from the audience?🤔 I recently learned esg scores allow for big money contributions from the government. A good esg score comes with things like environmental protection, diversity and inclusion, political messages,etc. I think I now understand why theses companies push divisive bullshit. The message is more important than consumer money, and they get money from other sources than the consumer when they have a high esg score. Also they won't be giving awards out unless a movie has met certain criteria for the number of minorities, LGBTs and handicap people.🤦🤦🤦 It's fucking ridiculous. I bet we aren't going to be getting much content that isn't sub par for awhile
@@UrikShinoob It's just got really poor writing... Like fucken hell it was soo painful and i just want to forget it like it doesn't even feel like Re
Do you mean to tell me that a teenage kid can hack into a system of a multi-billion dollar corporation? Oh, and the password to log on to the dad's work computer is a few letters and numbers? No MFA, no biometric authentication, no physical security key...??
Look... I know it's a show about zombies, but realistic and practical areas help with the immersion of stories, and if you skip over those things, you'll start to wonder wtf the directors were thinking.
The bar for these adaptions is set so low it's now in Hell and the Devil is using it to do Limbo dancing.
Netflix: this show in canon to the games
Me: so weker is alive after being blown up, race swapped for no reason, and we are pretending jake isnt his son and very much canon?
Netflix: YOU’RE A RACIST!
Having a black wesker definitely defeats the notion that this show is cannon and no-one can tell me otherwise
I don't have a problem with them race swapping Wesker. Despite what most of the internet is saying. Just make it good and don't make it cannon.
Netflix dont know shit. The Resident Evil lore is all over the place anyways. On the other hand. Games are their own canon verse and so are Films and TV shows. Marvel and DC have different Hero actresses & actors in their movies and tv shows.
They could have used other Weskers. Albert wasn't the only one as his sister showed. Butvshe sucked. There are other Wesker children.
The show is not canon to the games, the games are canon to the show. And it’s set in its own universe where Wesker looked like that from the start. Anyway, don’t watch it, it’s awful.
This is a PRIME example of a series I will never watch.. but will watch the review for laughs!
Glad I’m not alone in this, thought I was weird for watching such long videos on things I’m not even interested in lol but it’s hilarious how these guys dissect everything and call it what it is, trash
I’m giving it a shot cause joe is a dad about stuff sometimes. And the show is well made but just really likes to shove annoying plot devices and shit on the casting. Like the show really isn’t that bad but it’s like the writers just want to piss people off
Or in this case, a NETFLIX example.
Same with the halo show lol
@@josuepatino8179 Facts! ✌️
I love watching you try to explain how Wesker is a clone and the race swapping only to find out later the real Wesker was basically Wesley Snipes Blade
It's like they have a 5k peice Lego set with instructions and they throw the instructions out and start using some megablox and super glue
Alex in the opening seconds of this video is exactly how I thought this would go 🤣🤣
He is a bigot and a racist. He always dislikes non white actor/actress characters
"There's great stories to be told about resident evil, and this is not one of them" - Alex
The racoon city incident has so many untold stories. Even if writers didn't want to copy the games, you have so many original stories capable of being told through the fact that the entire city was on fire. The outbreak game series, as bad as they were, had potential in being an originally told story within the lore.
It's not hard!!!
Makes me think of the amazing job Capcom did to revive the series from a zombie outbreak into Ethan's story, with the Bakers and the village. Rather than moving into what these live actions try to do with apocalyptic stuff, they make it feel more personal and terrifying.
@@norestforthebuilders5865 I have to agree 100%. Resident evil was always at its best when the stories felt super personal.
I'm not a fan of Rose and her super powers, but resident evil 7 was pretty good
How do zombies "smell" when their essential bodily functions don't work. Like do they poop too?
The thumbnail and alex’s face told me everything i needed to know 😂
He is a bigot and a racist. He always dislikes non white actor/actress characters
That they haven't even watched it.
Tell me why I look at Alex face too for a TLDR 😂
@@mancuniangamecat8288 They've watched 3 of 8 hours of it. IF you cant create a compelling narrative in the first 3 episodes of your TV show, then you are not doing a good job...
@@KharaChmiel do they review games on the first 3 hours, no. So why is it OK to review TV series like that. Ffs
The thing is, it's extremely difficult to inject modern sensibilities into a story that takes place in a world where all sensibility has gone out the window (or at least to do it in a way that feels natural). Alice - for better or for worse - _demonstrated_ that she was a badass. We didn't need other people to tell us about _why_ she's a badass, we get to see it (even when it ends up being super corny).
Can't wait for the LOTR Amazon series🤮
@@fredwilliams6047 Yes black elves lol
Theres nothing sensible about todays modern times.
@@gravityslave6277 "Sense" is a matter of perspective, and that's kinda the point.
@@gravityslave6277 Also, gravity is fake. What you call "gravity" is just your inertia holding you "down" while the Earth Plane accelerates towards infinity at 1G.
Wesker is awesome! He was my favorite character.
The channel tunnel runs from The Great Britain to France under water in a straight line and they went back and forward and left and right in a tunnel?
The animated series it's so good why can't they do it like that
So damn good. I hope we get much more. It's a travesty that it's only 4 eps
The movies? I mean they are a bit better but also muck with the lore too.
@@michaelthomas5433 Nah there's CGI animated films for resident evil (I think the first one is RE: Vendetta) there pretty well animated and can be a decent watch.
@@michaelthomas5433 I still really like the first RE film. At least it creates that atmosphere and I love the soundtrack. Others are watchable up until the fourth film. From four on, they're progressively worse. That very last one was fucking abysmal.
what's the name of it?
One of the easiest adaptations to get right yet they get it wrong every live action time.🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
i was surprised by the Blade cameo in episode 7
Alex was the best thing for this channel. I agree with him every single time, which has been refreshing for this channel.
I agree with his logic most of the time but he is always a bit lower on everything than everyone else. He comes across as I hate everything most of the time tho.
@@Micnificent28 He may seem that way to some, not for me. (Maybe check out the Top Gun: Maverick review)
There are already plenty who will shill or praise terrible movies, games, shows etc. I respect someone with integrity like Alex. He won’t add an extra point or two unless it’s deserved, he tells it as it is.
No Joe it's not a 4/10 It's ZERO! out of 10! This is totally trash!
When OG RE5 Wesker shows up in the flashback, I lost my shit. He literally was cosplaying as Blade and you’ll understand if you see it. It’s laughably bad.
Granted Resident Evil already had very bad writing. It seems like that franchise is sustained by millennial nostalgia and it's association with Japan.
With the cheesy matrix getup and all that crap?
lol he def looked funny af
The MCU should have hire Lance for their new Blade cause he fits the bill after seeing him in this RE version lol
That part killed me more than any other in this series lol.
We have the exact same opinion on the series. Was like watching resident evil: riverdale or some shit. I said on twitter they just threw in some re monsters and slapped the resident name on it...re1 has everything they need for a great horror movie...hopefully ill get to see a hunter brought to life as they're hands down the scariest monster in re.
How would you rank all of the live action Resident Evil films and TV series from best to worst?
