I love Lance Reddick. He's fantastic in The Wire and he does a great job in the Horizon games, but Wesker has been white for over 20 years now. You know it's intentional when you never see a white actor play a black character. This is like casting Tom Hardy as Luke fucking Cage.

My dad, who's the biggest Resident's Evil fan, watched all the movies and played all the games, couldn't even finish the first episode. He's completely out of touch from whatever online controversy. And even without that expectation of "this is probably gonna be bad" before he starts watching, he still thought it was bad.

Jade is so unlikable and doesn't care that everyone around her dies or suffers because of her choices. The show tries to deal with this by just having her sister point that out. She doesn't change. Nothing changes. Pointing out a shitty thing in your writing doesn't suddenly fix bad writing.
@@WorldWalker128 That seems contradictory with what they try to do with her character otherwise (she'sframed as a heroic figure), but sure I think you could make a narcissist/sociopath the main character and have a complex character and compelling story (something like There Will Be Blood) but thats not the case.
The lead character, both young and older, is one of the most insufferable, selfish, toxic, entitled little shit I've seen in a long time, and you just KNOW their goal was to make her look strong, independent, and a badass, which makes it even worse. She's not even competent. Everything just goes her way like she's Domino from Deadpool 2, but infinitely more unlikeable.
The fact that the drug in this abortion of a series is called "Joy" is funny, because it makes me think back to the indie game "Lisa: The Painful" which also had a drug called Joy. Then I start thinking about the story of that game in comparison to Netflix RE and... Man. Can't believe a small budget indie game made by just ONE person has such a higher level of competence. Actually, no, I lied. I can absolutely believe it. The rot in Hollywood is quite something, huh?
@@airiakizuki5592 Originally it was. Notch hired other people onto the dev team when the game exploded in popularity then, a couple of years later, sold the production company (Mojang) to Microsoft for billions.
Moment I saw they had Black-washed Wesker, I knew the show was going to suck. Anytime you see someone who feels like they have a right to change essential details about a beloved/feared character, don't give them your money and run away as fast as you can.
They could've at least made an excuse for it since it takes place after RE5. Just have some husk of Wesker take over a random African guy after the Volcano fight and boom, black Wesker for an in universe reason.

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!! like I will never understand how any company/director just thinks "Hey this thing is popular. Everyone loves it. Let's take that and completely ignore the source material and make a show /movie.". Then when it flops they blame everyone and everything other than the fact that they ignored the source material...
Yes, thank you! It's like they disregard what made franchises popular in the first place. If they were qualified to "improve" a franchise, they would be making their own hit franchises, and wouldn't need to adapt other people's creations. It's the inferior apprentice trying to simultaneously bite off of their predecessor while crapping on them, and pretending they're making something original. Pathetic

A Karen's fever dream. She wakes up sweating bullets fully realized in the tragedy that "toxic masculinity" comes from her own desire for control, but her leadership sucks worse then that of a man. She draws her knees up to her chin, locks her arms around them and slowly rocks herself to silence the wild shrieks on condemnation in her head. She thinks hard, she must do better, but she won't even pause and think to ask a man for help. All men are evil, even little boys. She finds comfort in this thought. She smiles to herself as she willfully plunges further into the abyss of hate. Like a child wearing a towel for a cape ready to swan dive off the top of the jungle gym she ready's herself to take flight. This time I will sore with the eagles, she thinks as she jumps. Somehow she'll be able to grasp the wind rushing past her fingers. She'll grab it, twist it and lift off at the very last second. They'll see. She'll show them all! No, crash! She hits the ground face first, doomed to face plant over and over again. Eternal punishment in her own personal corner of hell.
No same dad, different moms doesn't mean you're "technically" twins. Whether you were born from the same mother (they only had one surrogate for their experiment?

Resident evil 2 original recipe had 2 memories that are burned in my head. Me and a cousin rented it and the harmless zombie arms bursting through the window made me and my cousin both jump and yell out loud. Right after that we had to mentally prep ourself every time we went down that hall. And my cousin refused to go into the interrogation room because he was didnt want the mirror to burst.
Me and my mate did this to another friend of ours when he visited while we were playing RE2. We purposely went to all the jump scares to laugh at his reaction. And because he's arachniphobic the giant spiders in the sewers made his skin crawl. We were such pricks to him with that game.
My favorite was when my older brothers came home to visit with their friends while I was playing RE2. I got to that hallway where the licker crashes thru the window. All I heard were grown men behind me crying out in fear. Ah, memories....
Well, just when I thought the Death Note adaptation was the worst thing Netflix could achieve they had to tell me to hold their Vegan Friendly Soy infused IPA in a gender inclusive drinking vessel. Because beer and cups are both too masculine for them to comprehend.
IMHO The Witcher is the worst thing to ever come from Netlix, but I'm just a biased Polish bookworm :) Death Note was unrecognizable from the original or even the film adaption, too.
8:15 Actually, Lisa the Painful, a indie game, had a drug called Joy being taken in pill form that made you feel nothing (that eventually turned you into a monster) 2 years before that game, they even had the "joy joy joy joy down in your heart" song motif too.
The lesson that Hollyweird will never learn: don’t use an already established IP to push current day ideologies while disrespecting the original source material. Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr Who, Halo, LoTR, Resident Evil, etc, etc, etc.
And what agenda did the show try to portray?? The fact is the majority of people didn't actually watch it and are talking out their ass and hating for the sake of hating.
I watched my ex-husband play every single one of them except The Village. I have sat through every movie and OVA that exists for Resident Evil. I knew from the first fucking screenshot of this pile of shit was going to be exactly that. A large, steaming pile of horse shit that was set right in the middle of the dining room table while having company over, and everyone can not only see it, but smell it... and are being told to grab a spoon and dig in because they're bigots if they don't do so with a smile. Fuck this shit, I'm out. I had a dream some years back that, if I actually put it down on paper, it would make a better Resident Evil than this shit!
I was willing to suspend a certain amount of disbelief until the break-in at the Umbrella facility in the first episode. After that, I stopped watching. I work in IT and it physically hurt to see two teenagers crack the security and learn how to get past security cameras from the INTERNET. And then they go from Super Smart to Dumber Than Dirt by releasing the T-hound. At that point I shut it off and went no further.
Producers and directors saw classically trained actor Lance Reddick come out of makeup looking like Great Value Blade and were like “Yeah this is it, boys. Albert Wesker.”
One of the main tenets of Wesker's character in the games is that he is, for all intents and purposes, a narcissist or a psychopath. Even though the main Weskers shown in the Netflix series are clones, it just translates really poorly to have a portrayal of the character without that trait. I don't want to see Wesker caring for daughters, or hand-wringing as he pleads with some Umbrella bigwig to give him more research time. Wesker in the games only ever took a subordinate role when it was necessary to marinate his plans -- he dropped all pretenses once he got himself killed by the Tyrant and resurrected himself.
And although RE6 was... definitely something that existed but could have been better (if only Capcom didn't try to make it into 4 different games stitched into 1 game with the RE logo on it), it did show that Wesker at some point had a son... cared so little that not even his arch-nemesis ever heard of that one. So again, why would wesker care or even let himself be belittled by a little shit? This man has killed people for far less, i don't believe for even a second that he wouldn't kill his own, probably unwanted and certainly made with some sort of fucked up test-subject purpose, children would be above getting killed for annoying him.
He is also the villain of villains that is bets out many series if you wanted an evil SOB that would do anything to achieve his goals. His character is basically the ultimate evil asshole, that basically redefined what its what to be a villain.
Except the Weskser with the kids is a clone and they established that the original gives no fucks. If there was some parent taking their kids' blood none of you would care why. You guys argument that this show is bad is like saying Miles Morales is a shitty spiderman because he doesn't have an Uncle Ben. The overarching lore is what establishes a Universe in which anything can take place. This show was painful to watch, but everyone here seems stuck on the obvious woke stuff that's going to be prevalent just like superhero films and connected universes. Doesn't mean they'll all be good, but the reason they're bad isn't directly linked to being geared in a particular direction
The head of umbrella Corp is the least intimidating, or impressive, antagonist I can imagine. She could be literally boring a hole in my head with a power drill and I wouldn't take her seriously.
"A little psychotic break aint gonna stop her because she's a strong independent woman who can do whatever she sets her mind too, you know why? Because thats what women do, we get shit done." Im dead inside after writing this
The character said: "Twins, technically." No, technically half sisters born on the same day or time, maybe induced labor, (at best.) I have second hand embarrassment for the writers.
yeah not gonna lie there, any pop culture reference in a film makes me cringe, pretty much means the story and characters are not interesting enough to stand on its own, is sad.
Original game Wesker would not take that kind of abuse and trash in this horrible woke fanfic. Like he's the type of guy to off you in the most back stabbery way, when you least expect it. But in this woke mess, nah.. nah man.
At least with Dino Crisis being pretty much being dead series; no one can make a bad live action adaptation. Sometimes… dead is better. 🎩 🐍 no step on Snek! 🇺🇸🇭🇰
If it did the Doom route with the Rock it is funny at least😅... So if it's so bad it's comical, then could work, but only if unintended. Mind for Doom movie mentioned. I and a best friend watched it as a violent comedy. All scenes with Portman, Dr. Carmack, and how bad the Special Forces handled everything🤣
Regina - the protagonist of Dino Crisis 1 and 2 - is a redhead. If there ever is an adaptation, she WILL be replaced with a diversity hire. In case you haven't noticed that trend in Hollywood.
If they could figure out a way to make a Dino Crisis series _work,_ and thought that they could milk a bunch of money out of it, _they'd do it in a second._ Dinosaurs cost money to put on screen tho. Might be very cool with some practical effects dinosaurs and a lot of gun violence, if they could do it. Add some cool characters and I'd fucking watch it.
Resident evil was my childhood. The hours I poured into re2 the sheer fucking terror the word "stars" put into me in re3. But nothing could prepare me for the true terror the franchise held. The live adaptions.
The RE license for live-action adaptations are all made by *Constantin Film/Screen Gems* . They still hold the IP license for more than 20 years. Based on the studios's track records, they are NOT good - pretty much telling the crappy quality, right? The reason is because they want to _secure the rights from Capcom_ .
Don't forget that Japanese companies ultimately keep allowing this to happen. Clearly they couldn't care less about the damage it does to there brands as long as they get some sort of guaranteed cheque for it regardless of what happens.
I think I would argue that they're willing to license out their intellectual property knowing that somebody is going to pay real cash money for the privilege. It seems to follow some sort of pattern where more people are looking to Japanese produced content and trying to make international imports look bad and profiting from it.
What damage? Capcom has been pumping out some of their best shit in a long time since RE7/2 Remake. Including Monster Hunter taking off and the glorious return of Devil May Cry.
This video is f****** hilarious!! I laughed several times! Thank you! The only thing I'm disappointed in is that now that we won't get a part two, I will never see cosplay blade versus the volcano. Lol!
I remember when resident evil first came out, tried playing it at night, that was scary as hell, taking like two steps at a time cuz u expecting something to jump out at you. And then finally saying f it and turning it off cuz your nerves are shot, swore to never play that again at night. Gradually got accustomed to it, nothing felt better than blowing a zombies head off or stomping it. Even with that experience, it wasn't enough to prepare for what came after. Silent Hill, oh j christ, it wasn't jump scary like r. evil but that creepy, dark atmosphere and all you got is that damn flashlight. Ah fun times.
8:38 You know, if it was just the name I would have let it slide, because of course an antidepressant would be named "Joy", but with this I am 100% certain that this plot point was lifted from Lisa the Painful, an RPG which also prominently featured an a drug called Joy that would induce a mutagenic process in people who took it. I would be gobsmacked if this was purely coincidence.
@@janekh1917 It's an extremely dark and surreal turn-based RPG and sidescrolling adventure. Basically society became unhinged and nihilistic in the wake of some nebulous event called the White Flash turning the world into a wasteland and somehow causing all women to disappear. The story centers around a guy named Brad who stumbled across a baby girl, prompting him to attempt to turn his life around and protect her. This puts him in conflict with... well, just about everyone else. It's a great game, but broaches a lot of difficult subject matter and you'll suffer a lot of mood whiplash from the game bouncing between the humor and horror of it all. If you can stomach it, I highly recommend it, but it's definitely not for everyone.

The show makes the shitty Paul W. S. Anderson movies look like masterpieces. Seriously why can`t they accurately adapt Resident evil for over 20 years? The games already have actually strong independent heroinesTM that people actually like.
@@forgottenlycanking2653 that’s it that and matching the aesthetics and general vibe that Resident Evil is known for I don’t get how Paramount can get it done with Sonic of all franchises but Netflix can constantly screw up this much
The films mostly just stand on their own by merit of being a simple action film, the people who say shit on the films tend to just be angry anyway, it's just a film, I love the games, I love the films, but then I'm not on whatever site being infected by insanity, so there's that.
You know what we need we need someone to make a movie studio where the directors and other people that really decide where the film goes with the video game movie have to play and reference the source material I know it's a crazy idea but it just might work
i remember my aunt playing Parasite Eve on her playstation 1 back in the day. god it was so terrifying as a kid. i remember i couldnt even look at the lady burning down the auditorium at the beginning. NOPE
I find the idea of Japan doing the world a solid and using their few nukes exclusively on Hollywood because they keep making bad shows and film to be hilarious
I watched another review of this show and simply said I was concerned with the priorities of the writers when I saw they race-swapped Wesker. I was worried that the studio was not going to be loyal to the lore. I was called a racist and bigot by so many people 😂 I don't give a fuck that a black person replaced a white character, I was worried because it was unnecessarily done in spite of the established lore. Does anyone else think I am a racist person for having that concern?
No, youre what we call a normal person 😂 its pure projection, you're going to get that when bringing up concerns like the Resident Evil Netflix series especially with Progressives 😊
I consider it more racist to race-swap a character unnecessarily, than I do to point it out. It strongly implies that forced minority casting was on their mind when hiring, and that tokenism is sadly alive and well. With very few exceptions, it's exceedingly rare that a race-swapped actor is outstandingly better than any actor they could have found of the source material's required ethnicity. I find it especially egregious should the race be changed, when the lore of the source material requires for a character to be of a specific ethnicity (Avatar; Prince of Persia, etc.).
Even IGN Japan that its rare to see an ironic article, i never saw a hardest hate critic against a show and product like for this one XD My godness i miss the Romero commercial of RE2 (and Bentley Bros made a great RE1 and RE4 live'action ever XD)
All they had to do was take Outbreaks approach where you have survivors parallel with the game events. You could have the first episode with campers who get stalked and killed by the Cerberus with one survivor nearly making it until they are defeated with their last sight being the Bravo team helicopter. Another Episode with sewer workers where they deal with a G baby. Another with Raccoon City Hospital pre and post breakout. Maybe the Power grid workers dealing with the Deimos. How about an adaptation of the other HUNK team from that one comic where they fought G babies and used the rail gun you see in RE3. Now you have stories that don't mess with lore, mess up characters, and gives you the freedom to make all the characters you want.
The problem is the huge disconnect between the video game industry and Hollywood. They want to "treat" it for film but they end up with a product that resembles nothing of which they started with.
I remember playing RE1 as a kid when it came out. I lived in the same apartment building as my two older cousins. I went down to their place one summer evening, had dinner, then thry popped that bad boy into the PS1. I remember the sun setting, bowls of chips and candy on the floor, and me being captivated by a world of monsters and mystery. It kicked off my love of survival horror; one that, like most of you, has survived until today. Seeing what they've done to RE just makes me sad. At least the games are still decent.
I have never played a single Resident Evil game in my life, and I feel like I have a better understanding of the general themes involved than literally anyone at Netflix just from absorbing random bits of info over the years.
That is probably true. Lol. I feel the same. I’ve played a little bit of the series, but very little of it. I’ve watched people play it at times. I definitely could more closely replicate it than these people.
I'm an old Bear, I liked the established characters and I enjoyed the introduced characters too. Recreating a character feels cheap, what stopped the creators from introducing new characters to evolve to the world of RE? The actor that plays Wesker, I'm a giant fan of and believe that his craft deserved his own Character instead of a lazy reboot attempt. Maybe that's what I found so insulting, essentially stating that the RE world was limited to a segment or community. I operated under the premise that Resident Evil (Biohazard) was a world wide zombie apocalypse scenario, instead of a singular identity group event.
i wont forget, i was 9 got to the chapter in re 4 where i was in the lab where they made the regenerators. literally got my ps2 taken away cause it gave mr nightmares. ah the golden days
I actually liked the first two RE films as more of an action movie instead of horror, but starting with the 3rd one it went down a cliff at 90° with the whole already over-used zombie apocalypse setting and the completly convoluted plot surrounding Wesker and Alice psykic abilities. The Netflix series however started bad, went downhill from there and after hitting the bottom it started digging. I even was kinda onboard with Wesker being black because, in my denial, I hopped they would explain it somehow, like OG Wesker being smart enough to make his clones look diffrent to get them off the grid. When they showed the OG Wesker thou, I thought he went to the wrong set and was supossed to be on the set for the next Blade movie.
7:30 JOY and all other drugs you've seen in scifi like it owe their existence to Soma from _Brave New World._ Awesome book, actually. Give it a read if you haven't.
It reminds me of those games that were initially intended to be independent games but were reconverted to a franchises sequel for whatever reason. Only they did it by splicing a few different failed story ideas and slapped the Resident evil brand onto it. And it really shows.
I thought it was supposed to be an unintentional comedy! I laughed so hard at how they seriously thought it was worth producing, they wasted the actors time and tarnished their names.....I can’t stop laughing how they thought it was “good”😂😂😂
While Wesker is evil he is also powerful. Woke people cant have that so they made him black. Off course they met themselves in the door and had to make black wesker a good guy. Only to meet themselves in the door again having to introduce the real Wesker who were evil and he is also black. White guys can be villians but they must be weak so it limits what they can do.
“How the producers passed up the chance to make a white guy the ultimate villain is beyond me.” is not something I expected to hear but it got a laugh from me.
on the real bruh, it should've been a lay up lol.
They're so woke they couldn't make a white guy competent at anything, even at being evil

Jade is so unlikable and doesn't care that everyone around her dies or suffers because of her choices. The show tries to deal with this by just having her sister point that out. She doesn't change. Nothing changes. Pointing out a shitty thing in your writing doesn't suddenly fix bad writing.
But doing that DOES imply that she's a sociopath/narcissist on purpose.
@@WorldWalker128 That seems contradictory with what they try to do with her character otherwise (she'sframed as a heroic figure), but sure I think you could make a narcissist/sociopath the main character and have a complex character and compelling story (something like There Will Be Blood) but thats not the case.
I would say « duh, she is Wesker daugther after all » but then again I didn’t watched that cringe fest of a re show so 🤷🏾♂️

@@WorldWalker128 kinda breaks the "show, don't tell" rule, right? It's like a 7 year old wrote this.
The lead character, both young and older, is one of the most insufferable, selfish, toxic, entitled little shit I've seen in a long time, and you just KNOW their goal was to make her look strong, independent, and a badass, which makes it even worse. She's not even competent. Everything just goes her way like she's Domino from Deadpool 2, but infinitely more unlikeable.
The fact that the drug in this abortion of a series is called "Joy" is funny, because it makes me think back to the indie game "Lisa: The Painful" which also had a drug called Joy. Then I start thinking about the story of that game in comparison to Netflix RE and... Man. Can't believe a small budget indie game made by just ONE person has such a higher level of competence. Actually, no, I lied. I can absolutely believe it. The rot in Hollywood is quite something, huh?
minecraft is made by a single dude isnt it? im sure there are other top tier games made by a single person out there
and "We happy few" also had a drug called joy. The gameplay may have been lackluster, but the story was still far superior to this shite.
@@airiakizuki5592 Originally it was. Notch hired other people onto the dev team when the game exploded in popularity then, a couple of years later, sold the production company (Mojang) to Microsoft for billions.
Hotline miami was made by 2 guys and even for a pixelart game where all you do is kill people it has a great story and likeable characters
The difference is probably because the indie game dev is passionate about what he makes
Moment I saw they had Black-washed Wesker, I knew the show was going to suck. Anytime you see someone who feels like they have a right to change essential details about a beloved/feared character, don't give them your money and run away as fast as you can.
If they didn't want a male Wesker, why not use Alex Weaker? She only had a game, so they wouldn't be screwing up a well established character
They could've at least made an excuse for it since it takes place after RE5. Just have some husk of Wesker take over a random African guy after the Volcano fight and boom, black Wesker for an in universe reason.

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!! like I will never understand how any company/director just thinks "Hey this thing is popular. Everyone loves it. Let's take that and completely ignore the source material and make a show /movie.". Then when it flops they blame everyone and everything other than the fact that they ignored the source material...
Yes, thank you!
It's like they disregard what made franchises popular in the first place. If they were qualified to "improve" a franchise, they would be making their own hit franchises, and wouldn't need to adapt other people's creations.

A Karen's fever dream. She wakes up sweating bullets fully realized in the tragedy that "toxic masculinity" comes from her own desire for control, but her leadership sucks worse then that of a man. She draws her knees up to her chin, locks her arms around them and slowly rocks herself to silence the wild shrieks on condemnation in her head. She thinks hard, she must do better, but she won't even pause and think to ask a man for help. All men are evil, even little boys. She finds comfort in this thought. She smiles to herself as she willfully plunges further into the abyss of hate.

Resident evil 2 original recipe had 2 memories that are burned in my head. Me and a cousin rented it and the harmless zombie arms bursting through the window made me and my cousin both jump and yell out loud. Right after that we had to mentally prep ourself every time we went down that hall. And my cousin refused to go into the interrogation room because he was didnt want the mirror to burst.
Me and my mate did this to another friend of ours when he visited while we were playing RE2. We purposely went to all the jump scares to laugh at his reaction. And because he's arachniphobic the giant spiders in the sewers made his skin crawl. We were such pricks to him with that game.

@@mrdee2454 Village... Yeah no
I was willing to suspend a certain amount of disbelief until the break-in at the Umbrella facility in the first episode. After that, I stopped watching. I work in IT and it physically hurt to see two teenagers crack the security and learn how to get past security cameras from the INTERNET.
And then they go from Super Smart to Dumber Than Dirt by releasing the T-hound. At that point I shut it off and went no further.
@@mrdee2454 I intend to play it when I can buy it. Been broke though. It's the only reason I haven't seen anything for it yet.
Producers and directors saw classically trained actor Lance Reddick come out of makeup looking like Great Value Blade and were like “Yeah this is it, boys. Albert Wesker.”
”Slightly used”
One of the main tenets of Wesker's character in the games is that he is, for all intents and purposes, a narcissist or a psychopath. Even though the main Weskers shown in the Netflix series are clones, it just translates really poorly to have a portrayal of the character without that trait. I don't want to see Wesker caring for daughters, or hand-wringing as he pleads with some Umbrella bigwig to give him more research time. Wesker in the games only ever took a subordinate role when it was necessary to marinate his plans -- he dropped all pretenses once he got himself killed by the Tyrant and resurrected himself.
He even killed Spencer. Umbrella's founder.
And although RE6 was... definitely something that existed but could have been better (if only Capcom didn't try to make it into 4 different games stitched into 1 game with the RE logo on it), it did show that Wesker at some point had a son... cared so little that not even his arch-nemesis ever heard of that one. So again, why would wesker care or even let himself be belittled by a little shit? This man has killed people for far less, i don't believe for even a second that he wouldn't kill his own, probably unwanted and certainly made with some sort of fucked up test-subject purpose, children would be above getting killed for annoying him.
@@darkjager7010 Wesker didn't know he had a son, his girlfriend got pregnant and left without telling him.
He is also the villain of villains that is bets out many series if you wanted an evil SOB that would do anything to achieve his goals. His character is basically the ultimate evil asshole, that basically redefined what its what to be a villain.
Except the Weskser with the kids is a clone and they established that the original gives no fucks. If there was some parent taking their kids' blood none of you would care why. You guys argument that this show is bad is like saying Miles Morales is a shitty spiderman because he doesn't have an Uncle Ben. The overarching lore is what establishes a Universe in which anything can take place. This show was painful to watch, but everyone here seems stuck on the obvious woke stuff that's going to be prevalent just like superhero films and connected universes. Doesn't mean they'll all be good, but the reason they're bad isn't directly linked to being geared in a particular direction

Capcom was floating the idea of a remake of Dino Crisis around when re2 and 3 remakes came out, there's sadly a chance
Regina - the protagonist of Dino Crisis 1 and 2 - is a redhead. If there ever is an adaptation, she WILL be replaced with a diversity hire. In case you haven't noticed that trend in Hollywood.
If they could figure out a way to make a Dino Crisis series _work,_ and thought that they could milk a bunch of money out of it, _they'd do it in a second._
Dinosaurs cost money to put on screen tho.

Resident evil was my childhood. The hours I poured into re2 the sheer fucking terror the word "stars" put into me in re3. But nothing could prepare me for the true terror the franchise held. The live adaptions.
I remember seeing the Resident Evil movie for the first time. It was surreal lmao.
The RE license for live-action adaptations are all made by *Constantin Film/Screen Gems* . They still hold the IP license for more than 20 years. Based on the studios's track records, they are NOT good - pretty much telling the crappy quality, right?
The reason is because they want to _secure the rights from Capcom_ .
Don't forget that Japanese companies ultimately keep allowing this to happen. Clearly they couldn't care less about the damage it does to there brands as long as they get some sort of guaranteed cheque for it regardless of what happens.
The games are still good and sell well, so hasn't hurt the series.
My point exactly. The money must just be good enough.
I think I would argue that they're willing to license out their intellectual property knowing that somebody is going to pay real cash money for the privilege. It seems to follow some sort of pattern where more people are looking to Japanese produced content and trying to make international imports look bad and profiting from it.

This puts him in conflict with... well, just about everyone else.

I watched another review of this show and simply said I was concerned with the priorities of the writers when I saw they race-swapped Wesker. I was worried that the studio was not going to be loyal to the lore. I was called a racist and bigot by so many people 😂 I don't give a fuck that a black person replaced a white character, I was worried because it was unnecessarily done in spite of the established lore. Does anyone else think I am a racist person for having that concern?
No way lol, those people are the rabid racists
No, youre what we call a normal person 😂 its pure projection, you're going to get that when bringing up concerns like the Resident Evil Netflix series especially with Progressives 😊
Yes, you are a horrible person. Now drink the cool aid so you can be a good person.
Black washing is still wrong. It's silly not to think so.
I consider it more racist to race-swap a character unnecessarily, than I do to point it out. It strongly implies that forced minority casting was on their mind when hiring, and that tokenism is sadly alive and well. With very few exceptions, it's exceedingly rare that a race-swapped actor is outstandingly better than any actor they could have found of the source material's required ethnicity. I find it especially egregious should the race be changed, when the lore of the source material requires for a character to be of a specific ethnicity (Avatar; Prince of Persia, etc.).
Don't forget, Resident Evil was so popular for Capcom they used it's engine to create the underrated masterpiece Dragon's Dogma.
Well you know what they say “Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin good forces have invented or made”
Even IGN Japan that its rare to see an ironic article, i never saw a hardest hate critic against a show and product like for this one XD
My godness i miss the Romero commercial of RE2 (and Bentley Bros made a great RE1 and RE4 live'action ever XD)
All they had to do was take Outbreaks approach where you have survivors parallel with the game events. You could have the first episode with campers who get stalked and killed by the Cerberus with one survivor nearly making it until they are defeated with their last sight being the Bravo team helicopter.
Another Episode with sewer workers where they deal with a G baby. Another with Raccoon City Hospital pre and post breakout. Maybe the Power grid workers dealing with the Deimos. How about an adaptation of the other HUNK team from that one comic where they fought G babies and used the rail gun you see in RE3.
Now you have stories that don't mess with lore, mess up characters, and gives you the freedom to make all the characters you want.
Shhh they don’t even know or care about that 🤫
Ya see, this here is an idea from someone that actually gives a shit. Too bad movies and shows aren't made by people like that.
Yeah but that would be cool and cool is a 4 letter word to these people
This is the kind of stuff that happens when society puts too many restrictions and expectations on forms of art.
The problem is the huge disconnect between the video game industry and Hollywood. They want to "treat" it for film but they end up with a product that resembles nothing of which they started with.
They don't consider video games art because they're snob boomers, meanwhile they haven't made anything resembling art in Hollyweird in years.
I remember playing RE1 as a kid when it came out. I lived in the same apartment building as my two older cousins. I went down to their place one summer evening, had dinner, then thry popped that bad boy into the PS1.
I remember the sun setting, bowls of chips and candy on the floor, and me being captivated by a world of monsters and mystery. It kicked off my love of survival horror; one that, like most of you, has survived until today.
Seeing what they've done to RE just makes me sad. At least the games are still decent.
I mean technically the zombies ran in Resident Evil 1, the Crimson heads, not the original Resident Evil one but the remake for GameCube

I'm still waiting for an explanation on the dancing scene, I want it on my table for yesterday
I have never played a single Resident Evil game in my life, and I feel like I have a better understanding of the general themes involved than literally anyone at Netflix just from absorbing random bits of info over the years.
That is probably true. Lol. I feel the same. I’ve played a little bit of the series, but very little of it. I’ve watched people play it at times. I definitely could more closely replicate it than these people.
I'm an old Bear, I liked the established characters and I enjoyed the introduced characters too. Recreating a character feels cheap, what stopped the creators from introducing new characters to evolve to the world of RE? The actor that plays Wesker, I'm a giant fan of and believe that his craft deserved his own Character instead of a lazy reboot attempt.
Maybe that's what I found so insulting, essentially stating that the RE world was limited to a segment or community. I operated under the premise that Resident Evil (Biohazard) was a world wide zombie apocalypse scenario, instead of a singular identity group event.
"After a few episodes I felt like I was punishing myself"
I had the exact same feeling. I was just waiting for the episode to end
i wont forget, i was 9 got to the chapter in re 4 where i was in the lab where they made the regenerators. literally got my ps2 taken away cause it gave mr nightmares. ah the golden days
That breathing still gets me, every time
@@dudeguy8686 bruh i had a bunk bed i heard that shit coming from bottom bunk🤣🤣🤣
I actually liked the first two RE films as more of an action movie instead of horror, but starting with the 3rd one it went down a cliff at 90° with the whole already over-used zombie apocalypse setting and the completly convoluted plot surrounding Wesker and Alice psykic abilities.
The Netflix series however started bad, went downhill from there and after hitting the bottom it started digging.
I even was kinda onboard with Wesker being black because, in my denial, I hopped they would explain it somehow, like OG Wesker being smart enough to make his clones look diffrent to get them off the grid. When they showed the OG Wesker thou, I thought he went to the wrong set and was supossed to be on the set for the next Blade movie.
I mean Resident Evil is meant to resemble a B movie and be somewhat campy
7:30 JOY and all other drugs you've seen in scifi like it owe their existence to Soma from _Brave New World._ Awesome book, actually. Give it a read if you haven't.
It reminds me of those games that were initially intended to be independent games but were reconverted to a franchises sequel for whatever reason. Only they did it by splicing a few different failed story ideas and slapped the Resident evil brand onto it. And it really shows.
Cough* Silent Hill 4 *Cough
now that Netflix has cancelled it, there will be another attempt from a different streaming service in the future.
the second he said "diversity" I knew my boy Wesker was gonna be black... this show is a circus
That random one-shot of that fat guy fighting zombies was the best thing about this show. He should have been the main guy.
I thought it was supposed to be an unintentional comedy! I laughed so hard at how they seriously thought it was worth producing, they wasted the actors time and tarnished their names.....I can’t stop laughing how they thought it was “good”😂😂😂
You just know it's gonna be a good video when it starts with quotes from the Drinker.
While Wesker is evil he is also powerful. Woke people cant have that so they made him black. Off course they met themselves in the door and had to make black wesker a good guy. Only to meet themselves in the door again having to introduce the real Wesker who were evil and he is also black.
White guys can be villians but they must be weak so it limits what they can do.
Speaking of Kids in the Hall, have you seen the amazon reboot?
Why does Netflix not follow the script that was already established in the games!? Like this could literally write itself!
