I adore Ethan, he starts off as a guy just wanting his wife back and ended as a dedicated family man who sacrificed himself to save his wife and daughter. He was a normal everyday guy who had to become something he wasn't to fight the horrors he comes into contact with, but he never lost sight of who is important to him. He didn't falter once, just a man with love in his heart.
I was literally scared for years to even play the game and I was in my mid 20s when it released lol.. I didn’t play it till I beat village and it was amazing. Only part that lost me was the final act but overall it was a great experience.
As someone that lives in Eastern Europe, I think you'd be surprised how likely it is for a government to just "abandon" structures and not take care of them, whether they be dams or something else. The reasons can vary but sometimes it's just the government lacking the money to maintain and man the facilities properly. They aren't completely abandoned, but they're also not properly taken care of.
Just found this channel and I'm already obsessed. You can really feel your love for the game, and that makes the video so much better. And something I realized listening to your point of view, Evee didn't need to take control of the Bakers, they would have taken her in as their own and loved her, and she would have had the family she wanted. 😢
@@Viaforvendetta true but given how she was brought into the world she never even had the chance to consider that option. She is quite the tragic villain.
An absolutely amazing video man once again. Ethan is such a standout character imo. He's more of an every man who reacts pretty naturally most of the time and his tewist is great. I loved RE7 and RE8 even more so, RE8 was a fantastic experience all the way through like the best Van Helsing game out there. Looking forward to your RE4 video and whats to come after that.
Absolutely insane documentary. Just remembered Ethan, wondered what re9 could be and came across your video. Thanks for the joy. I don't glaze over, but objectively you must be more popular than other story channels, never have I watched a story video for so long. Btw, dunno part of me wants Ethan to somehow stay alive because it's easy to project yourself onto him, and just tragic, but that man at the end on the road...
I keep thinking of Heisenbergs offer and whether there should have been a choice to side with him. I would’ve liked to see more of him. Maybe if the team had more time, they could’ve made an alternate scenario where teaming up with Heisenberg has you take out Miranda and he becomes the final boss.
I did my first playthrough while high as shit. I don't really smoke marijuana so when I do smoke, I get really really high. That whole mansion part really fucked with me, especially the fetus.
59:40 Same, bro. That shit caught me so off guard. Probably the first time in the whole series where Resident Evil managed to outdo Silent Hill in the psychological horror department. 😂 Also, I'm currently replaying Village, and I just got downstairs to the room with the Mia doll. Can't wait.
How in the hell did i miss the obvious similarities between this intro and the intro to Silent Hill 2!! Down to both Mia and Mary "supposedly" being dead for 3 years 🤷🏾♀️ Unreal!
Woah...This really a amazing job!You really nail some of of thoughts i have about this particular RE history duology...Tough i do agree RE8 in itself should be better as a non-RE game,one of the many reasons i love RE7 is how it shows that in the crazy Bioweapon world of RE not all incidents are in a global scale.Yes Chris could have solved Eveline with ease but that is why its not a Chris story.Ethan being a ´´normal`` man just trying to save his wife is why it makes this story special. You mention in a way why RE is such a massive success as a 2 decade franchise:It keeps changing to make the formula fresh.In my opinion,while RE4 changed the gameplay formula,RE7change how to tell a story.The Winters storyline is a way more small scale and personal story...No saving the the world from the whatever-virus for the bajillion time,just a dude trying to save his loved ones with probably the worst cards life give to hin...and actually doing it lol. This to be honest worked very well and made me fell in love with the series again.I really hope they continue with those small scale personal stories in the future. Also Thank you to give the best Moldad the respect he deserved lol
Thank you. Really glad you enjoyed the video. I don't have time to say more now because I'm at work but I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. It's great to hear how others interpret these stories.

I think that ethan at the end where the car drives off could be a mold hallucination, with rose being able to see and communicate with ethan now after her adventure just like how ethan could see and hear eveline (and probably talk to her, but he doesn't know that in 7) It could also be a sort of sweet ending for the winters family as they could stay together, in a way

This is amazing! I honestly agree with your take, but at the same time, if Biohazard and Village were separate from Resident Evil, I probably wouldn’t have been introduced to all of the other games, which I do love! I also do agree with your “all stories must end” bit, but there’s a part of me that would be ecstatic if Ethan came back in a later game, or even just a DLC again. I just love his character and hate to see him potentially gone forever, at least canonically, but all stories have to end somehow. Thank you for the video, I really enjoyed it :)

Hey there good sir, and well met! It is I, first time commenter & long time watcher! Names don't matter here in the online prairies where gamers graze, but your fine spread of content matters much indeed as it's much like an oasis of Doritos crumbs in the middle of a desert of vegetables that exists only as poison to us gaming lifeforms. This is a place where there are endless videos covering countless video games yet still offer very little in variety of choice as many exist as one enormous, dull, gray mass where it seems all passion goes to die. But, here you come and I'll be damned if your content isn't just well-presented & put together in ways one could assume involved using all those professional tricks/techniques that I'd just as soon call magic, and not only are they always interesting as well as easily digestible for even an ol' crow like myself, but I'll just be got-damned at how darn refreshing it is to hear that real passion in the narration/voice over stuff as if spoken by a man who has real, genuine excitement for what he's talkin' about! A lot of channels out there talk about video games in a tone of dull despair as if they're stuck in a coal mine while also experiencing a form of shellshock as if fresh from the green fields of Vietnam. Ya wander upon some content wearing it's title to show it's of the video game variety, but once ya get deep into the meat of it....well hell, whole thing comes off like someone reading ransom demands in one of them kidnapping things. I mean shit far man, I don't know a whole lot about this business but I think something done went horribly wrong when yer gaming discussion has a similar energy to that of something like old 9/11 news broadcasts where everyone has that dull, shocked demeanor as if too tired for the horrified expressions to fully be expressed.

@@arkham666 Hey, thanks for humoring the comment! I'd just watched The Big Lebowski and was really moved by Sam Elliot apparently lol. I've been binging your stuff, it's awesome and the high effort is always apparent and most appreciated!
I love resident evil 7. It's one of my favorites of the franchise now. I didn't enjoy village as much, but it's still a great game. I do agree though that these games could have probably been even better if they weren't restricted by the "resident evil" name.
Playing them back to back I do think I prefer 8 a little more than seven though that might be because it still feels newer to me. I'll get back to you in a couple of years lol. Re7 has way better dlcs than 8. Shadow of Rose is awful. Also I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw some potential going to waste.
WHY did chris in RE8 act like a villain until the end???? He couldnt give ethan a hint at some point, there were many opportunities.... please capcom, make story accurate stuff and keep the damn good gameplay and graphics. - love (hate-) letter from a fan
Literally every single one of the 'cheap' tripwires in Lucas' area are either very clearly visible if you bother to look or are very predictable just based on the environment.
@@jamieflowerchap6278 well I'm glad it was easier for you on your first time than me but that doesn't make them any less gimmicky and low effort as far as being mechanics go.
1:14:17 -There are some potential explaintations. One I like recognizes that Miranda has been doing this for at least a couple hundred years at this point. While the lords are more recent, she has been experimenting and reaching her tentacles in for some time. While the village remains reclusive, she clearly has been reaching her tentacles out far across the world to do buisness with the organization that made Evelyn and potentially a lot more in disguise or through proxy minions. There is something to say about the Merchant in RE 4 potentially being tied to the village. The Duke himself seems to have been one of Miranda's followers at one point and likley acted as a roving errand boy himself. The plagas were a legend from before her time so it seems a little coincidental that Umbrella would get the idea to use a paracitic creature to control their BOW AND a character with seeming ties to the Duke would be around when the Plagas re-emerged considering she is using a similar tactic in her experiments. It's still hypothesis but we can easily see how Miranda may have been reaching out to play puppetmaster and using other events in RE history as means to experiment or collect observational data through th else of others. Thus it also would no be so surprising if she was snatching up people over the last couple hundred years from all over, especially companies or factions that wouldn't put out missing posters. The mold can keep things alive almost indefinently.
@@arkham666 I pity you, were you able to see the brand new one that came out? I thought it was amazing (mostly because Tobin Bell came back to star lol)
@@Malevolence460 Iol don't take me too seriously friend it's all just for fun. You like saw I don't it's fine. What's important is we both like Resident Evil.
@@arkham666 True that homie, 7 was the first one I was able to finish. I played 4 first on the Wii when I was like 8 and it scared the ever loving shit out of me 😂
About your point on how these two games should have gone down a more Lovecraftian and Supernatural route if they werent in the Resident Evil world, i do have to ask, why can't they? Sure, Resident Evil started out as a grounded and realistic story, but so do Lovecraftian and Supernatural stories. They start in the normal, the natural, then dive into the unnatural. Plus, lets be honest, Resident Evil has never been normal since RE4. So, i completely agree that these games could have been much better (they're still amazing, two of my favorite RE games) if they had gone down these routes, but also, they still could have and stayed in the world of Resident Evil. Like, imagine if Evelyn was still a bioweapon, but she had died and her angry ghost used her bioweapon powers? And like you said, the Megamycete being a lovecraftian Elder God or Old One could have been a truly fantastic twist. But, heres the thing, they still can go down this route. We know the Megamycete is still alive, as pieces of it were taken by the BSAA, so it can still come back and be the Lovecraftian threat it was always meamt to be. And, as Evelyn is inside it, she can be the paranormal ghost she could always be. Now, im not saying Evelyn should come back, her story is over and it ended fantastically. However, the potential for Resident Evil to go more supernatural and Eldritch is definitely there. In fact, I feel like going down that route would end up solving mamy issues. We'd be able to keep the horror we've always loved, but would be able to ballance it with the action we love since the stakes are much higher that more action would be needed to balance that. Thats just my opinion anyway. I love Lovecraftian and Eldritch horror and theres a severe lack of video games done in said genres, so, I may be rather biased, lol
@@OrphanCrippler1 not that hot I'd say. Mr X in re 2 remake got pretty boring. Still I don't think it's the idea so much the execution that's the issue.
I adore Ethan, he starts off as a guy just wanting his wife back and ended as a dedicated family man who sacrificed himself to save his wife and daughter. He was a normal everyday guy who had to become something he wasn't to fight the horrors he comes into contact with, but he never lost sight of who is important to him.

The very definition of a hero.
Hmm dying is crazy tho lol, I knew they was going to do that
Even in death he protected his love ones from that bitch miranda lmao! Go Michael!
Also one of the most relatable because i too have the same reactions to some of the things that happen throughout these games.
I couldn't possibly disagree more
The man the myth the mold! Ethan winters!
Giant Fetus has me traumatized till this day, and everytime I play.
Replayed over Christmas it still terrifies me.
Idk... Getting hit in the face by a placenta is pretty traumatizing.
Giant Fetus for President
RE7 was an experience. That game attacked your senses almost.
it IS the horror genre !!
I was literally scared for years to even play the game and I was in my mid 20s when it released lol.. I didn’t play it till I beat village and it was amazing. Only part that lost me was the final act but overall it was a great experience.
This is one of most tormented protagonists in the game, alone with his hands.
Sometimes even his hands leave him.

About your point on how these two games should have gone down a more Lovecraftian and Supernatural route if they werent in the Resident Evil world, i do have to ask, why can't they?
Sure, Resident Evil started out as a grounded and realistic story, but so do Lovecraftian and Supernatural stories. They start in the normal, the natural, then dive into the unnatural. Plus, lets be honest, Resident Evil has never been normal since RE4.
So, i completely agree that these games could have been much better (they're still amazing, two of my favorite RE games) if they had gone down these routes, but also, they still could have and stayed in the world of Resident Evil.
Like, imagine if Evelyn was still a bioweapon, but she had died and her angry ghost used her bioweapon powers? And like you said, the Megamycete being a lovecraftian Elder God or Old One could have been a truly fantastic twist.
But, heres the thing, they still can go down this route. We know the Megamycete is still alive, as pieces of it were taken by the BSAA, so it can still come back and be the Lovecraftian threat it was always meamt to be. And, as Evelyn is inside it, she can be the paranormal ghost she could always be.
Now, im not saying Evelyn should come back, her story is over and it ended fantastically. However, the potential for Resident Evil to go more supernatural and Eldritch is definitely there.
In fact, I feel like going down that route would end up solving mamy issues. We'd be able to keep the horror we've always loved, but would be able to ballance it with the action we love since the stakes are much higher that more action would be needed to balance that.
Thats just my opinion anyway. I love Lovecraftian and Eldritch horror and theres a severe lack of video games done in said genres, so, I may be rather biased, lol
i like ur vid essays thats what i say :D
I like ur comment that's what I say. Thanks.
Fuck yeah
Jihillllll sandwiches
Yummy!
yooooooooooooooooo
looooooooooooooooooo
Hot take. Stalkers ruin resident evil games
@@OrphanCrippler1 not that hot I'd say. Mr X in re 2 remake got pretty boring. Still I don't think it's the idea so much the execution that's the issue.
Speak for yourself. My chris aint got no light saber 😂
@@JB2FROSTY it's been over a year since I put this together so you're going to have explain what you're referring to sorry.
After the house of benevito the game became extremely boring just like re7 after you get past the mother.
@@theendisnigh4497 it definitely drops off but I still had fun with it till the end.
Hey man great content you deserve more subs keep up the great work
