"The acting was more wooden than an old-timey sailing ship..."
/shows Tom Hopper from Black Sails/
I see what you did there. X'D
Dude wtf why did you immediately remove the Mark Millar interview?!?!
Why you think this is a bad zambi movie whilst it shows feminism this good?
Ever notice how the only people who seem to be race swapped are wp ?
"This is the worst Resident Evil Movie, I have ever seen."
"You say that every time."
"And it's true every time!"
Yet we then get crap like this, and we look back to those first few dumpster fires and say “I think I’ll go back to that”
Why can’t they just make it like resident evil 2 the game?? That would be awesome. But nope. They can’t do that
"This is the worst Resident Evil Movie, I have ever seen." For now xD

@@strategery101 You'd think that, given RE's plot and how the game works. This SHOULD be a very easy transition to movies and/or a series.... But most producers flat out say "we weren't interested in making a copy of...." insert whatever here... When that's really all they have to do.. LOL... It's very head-scratching. 😕
Casting Lance Reddick as Wesker is like casting Keanu Reeves as Blade.
@@ARC5555Fives 😂😂
That would be idiotic. That said though, Keanu would kick that rolls ass and make you believe he was a black daywalking vampire by the end of it.
🤨😒🤔
It’s too bad he has to get blowback, he’s a great actor.
When is Hollywood gonna stop trying to make adaptations their own thing?
Me: “How bad was the Netlix Resident Evil?”
Drinker: “It made me wish there was a real zombie apocalypse.”
That Cutie film should have been the end of Netflix. If all the outraged people had cancelled their subscriptions we could have had a rare case of sicko entertainment industry feeling the repercussions of their actions.
If you're white, straight, male, you shouldn't be financing these media goblins anyway, they despise us. If you watch any of these bad films you can feel the venom and open hostility directed at us, it's palpable. It used to be subtle but they really don't care anymore. If there's something people really wanna watch though there's the pirate bay, no need to waste money funding spiteful goblins.
Films were once an escape from the absurdities of our reality, now they are reality.

Yeah, apply the same cold, uncaring, efficiency-focused mentality to stop funding your incompetent government
Think of how many "patriots" would gladly emigrate to a new nation where genetic failures are not welcome
Literally 1776 again to start anew and build towards something, finding purpose in a better future civilization
@@nelisezpasce Most people are too brainwashed to see what their government is doing as are most peoples of the world, and I think there's more than mere incompetence at play.
Yes, I'm sure many people would like to escape to a new country given the likely future of our own. I wouldn't hold it against anyone not welcoming us or anyone else though. We have already suffered the drastic effects of the cultural suicide they call "multiculturalism".
Why do you say I am cold and uncaring? And lol to, "genetic failures." What is your country? Might explain why you're so hostile?
@@enoch13th85 This could work if only there wasn't a huge number of white people ready to cut their own heads to save us 'minorities'.

"You just hate it because you hate strong women" said Netflix to the fans of Claire Redfield and Jill Valentine
Ada Wong and Rebecca Chambers too
Zoe of RE7, Rose of RE8
They don't know there are a lot of strong, powerful women in RE Universe, they are just not interested with the story at all. And look what they created.
Claire was great, Jill was awesome, Rebecca Chambers, very clever and brave for her age, Ada Wong, badass waifu material, holy shit, the games had so many strong female characters with personality that I didn't care that they were women at all.
Oh and we had sheva too, I didn't like her because she was black, I didn't give a shit about her skin color, it just found her to be too shallow, but well Chris wasn't that charismatic too in RE5, just a muscle bloke.
@@esmolol4091it's not about color but changing old character race doesn't make sense and that's why it's became flop movie 😅 and don't forget Jill valentine have fans to
@@sajjadkhan7255 Color swapping is plain retarded.
Just imagine Blade as white dude?
Lol, WESLEY SNIPES is Blade and he was perfect.
Imagine Heimdal from Thor as white dude... NO thx.
And now arielle magically turned black because white skin and red hair is... well what? It was totally fine.
I guess the next james bond will be a mexican transsexual or something similarly weird because reasons.
"It's you! You're the evil resident!" - a line in this show (probably)
It would have been more fun
And entertaining that the jokes in this show
There he is! The evil resident!
wrong, the line is:
"It's you! You were the residing evil all along!"
He didn't say that.
And by 'you', you mean white conservative males, right?
Lance is way too talented for this shit show. If Netflix was even remotely smart or self aware, they'd pull this and pretend it never happened. This public embarrassment is a perfect example of why Netflix is losing money and otherwise failing to produce any kind of content worth paying a sub for.
And it’s honestly quite sad, cuz Netflix has had some of my fav shows ever like Cobra Kai, Stranger Things, and especially Daredevil. But of course somehow Disney found a way to be even worse than Netflix by stealing Daredevil to add on to their fricked up canon.
Netflix is hiding behind the cost of living crisis and password sharing for their dropping subscriber numbers, when in fact its just crap content.
Not that I've seen much of his work but Reddick was in The Wire for Christ's sake! He deserves better than this nonsense.
Netflix are taking the shotgun approach to stuff because consumers are idiots. Eventually they will produce something decent. It's the monkey typewriter in effect.
Ahh you must have seen him in Fringe, he was razor sharp Every single time
I love that in their zeal to crowbar in "the message", they basically show a world that's run by women as the most dystopian place imaginable
Seems to be a running theme. Was like that in that shit-show Star Trek Picard.
Art imitating real life unfortunately. if humanity studies this time period in a few hundred years & it is recorded honestly, I believe people will trace the beginning of our societies collapse to the day that we let women have the right to vote.
That is true. Have u seen germany?
They show us the more-than-likely zombie outbreak occurrence that is a direct result of a matriarchal society.
@@renzo2447 Ancient Greeks make a play about women being allowed power in governement. Basically women would implement a pseudo-communist system and everyone was miserable. It was a comedy.
Rest in Peace Lance. At least you won't have to be part of this anymore.
I think Lance said he actually liked the show and enjoyed being a part of it. I don’t know how much of that was genuine or not though.
How much was he paid
@@superfurryfox160% of the project's money; source? It was reveleated to me in a dream.
You literally had "Strong Women" in the form of Jill, Ada, Claire, Sheva, and Sherry.
And they couldn't even be bothered to make them characters in this show.
THAT alone tells me this show was not made by people who are fans of the video games :/
Bro, I bet these clowns never even bothered to play the game.
I can’t say I blame anyone for not remembering even a single scene from this shitshow, but in the final episode Daddy Wesker gives the blood bags a note telling them to find Ada Wong.
They only want Abbyzilla "strong kind" waman
It's all communist propaganda. All of it. It's that simple.
tfw no Ashley
:y
Episode 1 was insufferable, I wanted to check out about 2 minutes in when Jade complains that their neighborhood is too white. Great job, Netflix!
Well tbh the houses were all white
Not to mention the fact the apocalypse in this shows basically starts the same way as 28 Days Later!
woohoo! racism! its okay because theyre white, right guys!?
I fucking hate people.
Didn't she, in episode one? Moaned about the caretaker being white and useless for some odd reason?
So they're trying to normalize that there can be too many white people living in an area? I mean.. that sounds kinda racist.
In the show's defence, those girls are so utterly self-centred, it would never have occurred to them to ask their dad about himself.
Very fair point
"I could be infected with a dangerous virus that can kill anything we bite, lets go to a party!"
It’s crazy how the whole outbreak start because 1 girl want to save some animals
Their facial expressions seem to be limited to either "I smell a fart" or "I smell a fart from a decaying corpse".

Resident Evil: Resting Bitch Face... Available now on PlayStation, Xbox and PC.
9:46 - 9:56 the genuine laughter when he says they dressed this poor actor up as Blade is even more funny and heartwarming than anything that happens in movies and shows like this lmao
It’s the laugh that kills me, he broke character and just laughed hard
I think it's supposed to be how wesker dresses up in the games
“You see Chris, with the power of Oroborus, I gave myself melanin, you can’t hurt me without being racist”
-RE5 Wesker I think
Oh my fucking god this is gold. This is something that would be in one of Detective Masterclass or Chris Voiceman's videos.

That would have actually made a good plot for this show.

@@anthonyf616 Ummm.. I think the word you are looking for sir is... "inclusive". Obviously, you are unware of the Political Correctness" doctrine. That's okay cause it's all BS anyway. You can see my comments... umm.. rant in the comments. Stay well!👍👍😊
Ah yes, let's combine the resident evil universe and teenage drama, and then drown it in *THE MESSAGE* ,what could possibly go wrong?
Netflix DOES know what happened to the CW with their "teenage drama" shows right?
@@LoneWolf-gz9mr You people really think that conglomerates with access to *ALL* your data and thinking are that out of touch that they don't know that this would bomb and be disliked by all the fans? You think making money was ever their goal with media?
@@Kronos0999 I think that Netflix has a very bizarre business plan, for being in such a panic about losing so many subscribers. It seems that this is harmful to their brand to release if they KNEW it would tank.
you'd think with the amount of spyware and data they have they'd actually know how to try to make these things actually make "The Message" work
Go woke, go broke.
Is really that hard to make a movie about Jill and Chris exploring a mansion for 2 hours?
been wondering this for years
Its mad isnt it
Yes. Considering the game is about 5 hours long.
I don't understand why they don't just do that. I mean, it's like they think people that love the original Resident Evil games, do not want to see the games being played out in movie form so they go off and throw in tons of crazy shit that moves away from the spirit of the games because that's apparently what fans will love? I was a little curious about this show, but i'm going to stay well clear of it now. So sick of modern social politics being shoe horned into media.
As long as they’re race-swapped and the zombies are non-binary.
I am SO glad Lance Reddick got to go out with a bang in John Wick 4 with a cast of characters and crew that really appreciated his years of service both to The Continental and the Wick saga as a whole. RIP, my good sir.
His death in JW4 hit hard😢
@@LOAF-do2xm oh yes, I get chills thinking about it. And the characters paid their respects. It was a powerful turning point that brought John and Winston back together. And it solidified the villain as a true cruel and ruthless character. It was a beautiful de@th. But it hit super hard knowing that it was the actor's final performance. 😔

"This is the worst adaptation of Resident Evil I've seen"
"This is the worst adaptation of Resident Evil you've seen.... yet"
Like that Simpsons movie meme lol
“This is the worst day you’ve had so far!”
**IT'S THE MOTHERFCKING WORST SH!T SHOW OF A RESIDENT EVIL EVER!!!!!**
MISCASTED ALBERT WESKER... NO F!CKING CHRIS, JILL, CLAIRE, LEON (MISCASTED HIM NO LESS IN MOVIE!)
FCKING JOKE MAN!
Yes agreed 100%. Complete crap😡
Another Simpsons meme:
“Am I out of touch? No, it’s the fans that are wrong.”
False.
The Alice films are the worst ones.
The problem with "unlikeable and preachy" characters is that modern day media thinks they're cool, entertaining and spreading "THE MESSAGE"
Odd too that these same people extremely dislike street preachers, yet thats exactly what they are doing lol I can see them standing outside of a music festival with a bullhorn preaching about the sins of toxic masculinity and transphobia.
Actually, they already do that...huh.
Almost like it’s a reflection of the writers themselves
the message needs, more than anything else, to choke to death on an extra chunky fermented river of sewage the length of the nile
They are always disliked. Why do they still push them through
@@CS_Mango it makes them look good at corporate investors. There's literally no other reason for it unless they're genuinely just that f****** brainwashed
Can’t get over Jade saying the zombies aren’t dead, their brain has been rewritten. Cut to zombies trapped underwater than coming to life when brought on board.
Someone should tell the writers that a rewritten brain doesn't cause people to have necrotic flesh.
It’ll be fine
They're zeroes, not zombies! lol
It's against zombie culture to say they r bags of flesh, they just are misunderstood codes... uh i mean motions
@@3-2bravo49 rewritten brain doesn’t allow breathing underwater or avoiding dying of blood loss by ripping your own arm off. Rewritten brain is a super power like flight or laser eyes.
It's getting harder to justify any reason other than malicious intent with the destruction of all of these properties.
For real, always been the case
There you go.
"Whites" won't have "culture" in a couple decades.
@@160sharp and replace them all with inclusive...wait non-inclusive for straight white male,lame storyline going against patriarcal society.
I stopped watching immediately after the line about “there’s white people everywhere”. I’m sick of racial obsession on tv. Just make a show without political obsession
Imagine someone in TV show would complain that it's too many blacks around and so they doesn't want to live here. "Racist! Racist!". Double standards are real.
Agreed - it is just beyond obnoxious and it's in literally everything....what an absolute joke.
the average white person probably says black people 0 times a day..
the average black person says white people 100 times a day...
they really need to chill out... i expect more dipping sauce riots after my statements..
Misandry is a far more pervasive and serious problem.
That's a weird f*cking phrase to include in a show. I would've turned off the TV immediately as well.
I literally switched it off when I realised the whole plot relied upon Wesker's vegan daughter sabotaging her father's high security facility due to animal testing using nothing more then her smart phone.
Yeah. "No guards, no cams". I was like: "What? That doesn't make any sense"
I kept watching. There were some occasionally good moments, but on the whole, it was just so disappointing how dumb it was.
Maybe she learned it from that game Watchdogs. 🙃
Same here, i stopped watching the show after that, theres no way you can sneak into a high tech facility so easily
Thomas Watson
You mean "than", boy. You need to learn you some English.
It's just baffling how they still don't get that being diverse or vegan are not character traits/ personalities
This was obviously written by some 19 year old, blue-haired Twatter landwhale. In her world diversity, inclusion and activism is all that matters.
"No this is totally different" fearless leader
And it doesn't make characters appealing, interesting or relatable. It just makes it very on the nose
but their great traits for zombies
😅😅🤣🤣
I really wanted to like this show, but Jade being a massive narcissist and the show casually comparing Covid to the T-Virus… wtf
Numerous females act like that nowadays.
The virus thing is ab all that has irked me i dont get ALL the hate
I like how Jade was directly responsible for the death of her scientist friend who was pregnant, and 2 minutes later EVERYONE forgets about it and are back to helping Jade and listening to what she says.
She should be locked up, I'd put her in the cell right next to the little girl from Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom.
Yes that was really bad!
That pregnant woman was clearly pro-life (she's still pregnant after all), so it's all OK.
5 seconds before that zombie attacks pregnant scientist friend, there's a guy standing right behind her. No sign of him while said zombie takes its sweet time to tackle her and rip her throat out. Are we to believe he's a deaf blind idiot or did the showrunners just Iron Fleet him out of their memories in those few seconds?
@@johng6350 Yes of course.
How hard is it to adapt:
A. Two cops investigating a mansion filled with monsters.
B. A rookie cop and a college student trying to escape an infested city while protecting a little girl.
C. A widower searching for his missing wife in a bayou while being chased by a crazy family.
D. A detailed documentary of Lady Dimitrescu, showing her transformation into a giant woman and her everyday life as a milf- I mean as Miranda’s daughter.
Literally, it’s not that deep.
no The Message
They like to complicate things *AS WELL* as selling _The Message_ to the best of their abilities.
But mah message.
E. A towering musclehead moving a boulder by repeatedly punching it.
My theory is that modern "creators" take our complaints about movie or series X being terrible as a personal challenge to write something more terrible.
I’ve only had the joy of watching the first episode, and the moment Wesker’s two daughters decided to break into the Umbrella building using his voice recording as a way to trick security it was him, when hours earlier they required FACE RECOGNITION, I realised the show was relying on plot convenience. I don’t even care about spoilers because it’s good enough reason not to watch it, and I agree with everyone that Lance is too good for this!
Honestly... it is very difficult for me to get through this review alone and I am a big fan of the Drinker. I genuinely hate to imagine the pain and suffering he must've went though trying to watch this G-dless, f**ked up piece of shyte.
I watched all of it and trust me you shouldn’t bother.
Man how did tou make it past the first minute or 3 The very first zombie closeup on the opening scene. I decided never wil I watch another minute of this BS. Season one of the walking dead did far a better job than this.
I watched 10 minutes I couldnt get over the young girls attitude for no reason she pissed me off and I cut it off stop making resident evil live adaptations or if they do make it korean hire the guy from train to busan
The worst plot hole was when strong female character threw the pheromones at her feet and not a single zombie chased her
Could you imagine a live-action movie adaptation of the Final Fantasy franchise, being done by the same people who made Netflix's Resident Evil and Netflix's Cowboy Bebop, or even Fate: Winx Saga?
Don't.... Don't give them ideas....
No I don't want to imagine it.
Live action Dragon Quest lmao
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
please no, I'm fine with that only one screen adapatation that had absolutely nothing to do with any FF game and was boring as shit. Let's leave it at that.
@@YTshortsIsTerrible just treat that one as a standalone that coincidentally borrowed the franchise name lol. It's just okay as it is imo...
Chris in RE5 punching a rock in quicktime has more logic than this show
lol and according to this show, that still actually happened! The clone Wesker tells the girls the original Wesker died in a volcano! XD
At least that's an iconic moment we all remember.
Yes… that moment had more quality writing, character development, more logic, AND personality than the entire show….
Hell, Wesker saying “You will give me an egg,” outperforms this whole show.
Considering the fact that Chris punching rocks had the same amount of logic as Biden being president because people actually liked him, yeah I’d say you’re right.
I felt awful for Lance Reddick. This series did not deserve him to try so much
It should be called "Lance's Resident Evil".
Don't feel bad for Lance Reddick. He took this role, knowing he was going to be playing a tokenized, sloppy seconds version of Albert Wesker (and apparently, a Dollar Store version of Blade - WTF?!?! hahaha). He deserves to get caught in the shitstorm of criticism from fans of this IP.
@@och70 Sadly, that is the true Albert Wesker's outfit after code veronica until dying in a volcano. At least, he had a missile for an arm and saw a human punching a boulder before he died. Also, he has a bastard son.
Dont feel awful, he did his best and made the show bearly watchable for me because he did a great job imho.
I agree, the movie is better if he play as ordinary Raccoon survivor in this case Highschool principal who try to save as many people during outbreak and not Albert Wesker. That makes his character more humane.
It looks like the writer just stamp original characters name and hope that the drama will create some attention.
Wesker-Reddick makes me want to see a Blade remake with him as the lead.
Also at least the monsters looked cool. VFX and creature design teams are probably eating well, I'm happy for 'em.
The female power influx is especially weird since the games were actually pretty good about that kind of thing. Most of them split the difference with strong female and male characters, both playable and NPCs. Chris, Jill, Leon, Claire, Ada, Sheva, and Berry are all as capable and competent as each other and I think that's a lot of why those characters are popular.
Also the first game actually makes a clear difference between characters. Chris, a male, is physically stronger than Jill, and it shows by him being able to carry more items, and being able to take more hits. Jill doesn't have those, but she have skills like lockpicking.
Now try having that in the current world...
Don't forget Rebecca, Sherry, and Helena.
@@ravenousmask4159 Jill had more slots than Chris.
@@ElBandito Oh, u right. Jill got more slots. I remembered wrong, it's not carry more items, it's the ammo and weapons you find playing Chris.

Stop watching this garbage.
My other women friends and I have switched to Korean SciFi romantic shows like The Watergod's Bride and the Goblin's Bride. These men and women get to be strong complex characters that make mistakes, learn and develop. The plots are quirky, heartfelt with action, and (dare I say it) actual romance.
Thank you dear drinker for being a bastion of snark and humor in a world of metamales.
It's kinda funny when you consider that Korea has a culture of effeminate men; that even they are doing better in the filmic storytelling department.

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

That is Netflix's "Resident Evil".
I genuinely can't tell if it was a multimillion dollar joke that the writers room somehow got away with, or if the writers legitimately don't understand the very basics of human behaviour.

It's actually IMPRESSIVE just how bad this is. It's like they picked a fanfiction off Tumblr that a 17 year old girl wrote. The script was probably written in crayola crayon.
Exactly. It really did feel like that to me.
I'm pretty sure there is an AO3 fanfiction out there with the exact same fucking premise of post-apocalypse T-virus hellhole.... but written way way better than this. Though considering that it's fanfiction, there would also be copious amounts of shipping detracting away from the plot, but I'd rather take that over braindead teenage angst.
the part when Billy wanted to go to the party after knowing she had a couple hours to live before she potentially turned and hurt people made my brain fry from stupidity
That’s pretty in character for a woman tho lol
Look at how selfish were people including our leadership during a pandemic, happily partying or going to work even when they did not feel well just because they would not receive sick leave or look lazy not to mention big brain moment of going to protest against police brutality/mask wearing during a pandemic that eventually killed over a million Americans and then ask yourself...
Why would young teenagers full of hormonal activity with brains still under development and next to zero life experience should behave any better??? Considering that our population was perfectly aware of the consequences of COVID-19 while girls did not know anything about the virus, nor even though anything like it was possible, just have various hints and unconfirmed conspiracy theories they may not trust enough to act upon...
@@IonorRea i never even though of it that way they are trying to push pandemic lokdown messaging in this movie to.

@@falaramal3979 FACTS
The moment the character who had Billie Eilish hair showed up, listening to Billie Eilish, and was called 'Billie', this show got paused and turned into a drinking game.
We had alot of fun watching it as we downed our beverages and recreated what we assumed the writers room conversations must have been like.
In that regard, I would recommend this show.
Although, at this point a Netflix subscription should subsidise their own brand of alcohol.
I turned it off in the first few minutes when the girl who has supposedly been living around and studying the zombies for years isn't wearing anything protective and is so careless she cuts her arm on a piece of metal getting up, looks like i saved myself 8 hours of torture.
Are you sure she and Jade are twins? I think she's adopted.
Lance Reddick looks like he’s about to attend a Halloween party dressed as Blade
It has to be said: teenage girls are actually that irresponsible.
Not my daughters.. We taught them better.
But they could have still not made the conflict so forced because every bad thing legit happens because the girls are IDIOTS. It could've been fixed if they balanced each other out like the extroverted one who was arrogant was told off by her twin who was more responsible.

No. Women have the right to buy a hair dye and make themselves look beautiful. Also, patriarchy. Also, fuck reality. This is a movie for kids or something
Have you ever played the Resident Evil games?
The writers clearly didn't.
This is a generic zombie series wearing a resident evil skin suit. Just dont race change Whesker for a start and people might have given this a chance
this is a waste of Lance Reddick, just make him an original character! Everyone is this series is really, really unlikable and it has CW levels of writing.
It deserves to fail and Netflix will learn nothing from this disaster.
That's the most important part. They never learn, they just keep churning out shit and wonder why it isn't profitable.

I'm pretty much convinced the execs look for stories and tape known IPs all over it and call it a day.
This isn’t even a zombie series, it’s just teen drama laced with “THE MESSAGE” trying to play it off like they know what they’re talking about.
You tuely are a brave soul for surviving this abomination. I couldnt make 5 minutes. Not sure why they called it Resident Evil, 2 girls and a cup seems like a better name :)
Yikes!!! I know exactly what you are referring to lololol
Why is it that every modern "strong female character" have to be written as a horrible role models for young women?
Because the writers are horrible people
it's because they are now universally casting looks over actual acting talent. If they can present the "message" via an attractive face then it doesn't seem so blatant, apparently.
@@Genericusername1004 Apparently. Because this is their version of protagonists.
It feels like these writers are angst-filled people who want expose the horrible things that have happened to their life and this is how they do it.
And to answer your question: probably because they feel like such people have the right to be horrible.

Its crazy how bad Hollywood is, it has made the prequel starwars films look amazing compared to the new crap, and its made the original resident evil movies look like die hard. Good job wokies
I've always liked the Prequel Star Wars Trilogy.
the first one is lit.. the zombie scenes are incredible..
not at all, the prequels are on par with the sequels in terms of shit
...and its only going to get worse. oh sure, you will have a few outliers along the way, a few glimmers of hope. but, make no mistake, the downward trajectory of Hollywood is set in stone at this point. will it survive in the end? that will be determined by those who finacially prop this industry up. my guess is, no it will not.
I dunno about that chief.
The prequel movies imo were good, they added much to the lore, added more characters for us to like and hate, and especially fleshed out already established characters.
Ya know…unlike this show…
"The Critical Drinker", watching those horrible movies/shows and saving us the torture assures you of a place in ... heaven! 🙏

Now when i want to see movie i check youtubers if they say is woke!
Fun fact: The first and second game do NOT take place at the same time.... the second and third do however. "Welcome to Racoon city" is the "operation racoon city" of the film industry.
I don't understand how they can get Resident Evil so wrong, time after time. It should be such a tap in. All the story, characters and set ups are already there
Cause George Romero's script was "too faithful."
Because the egos involved want to tell THEIR stories.
@@rogerborg this. This is what sums it all up.
Wake up. Leftists actively say they want to destroy all your history and heroes, from fictional to actual history. Did you even pay attention to USA 2020's "Summer of Love"?? Do wake up!
Simple: They choose not to take the time to play through a game slowly and get a grasp for the characters, their actions and reactions to things, the motivations of the villains, the stress of managing their limited resources with even MORE limited space of their inventory. It's too scary for them, or the puzzles are too hard for them to figure out without a guide.
Heck, they may not play video games at all. Though really if they don't play the games they could at least watch someone play through it. But they can't be bothered to do that either. These are people with a passion for nothing that they make shows or movies about, and so garbage is the final product. At least with older games from the NES and SNES era there was an excuse for 'video game based on a movie' being either weird or just plain garbage, but in today's world the only excuse is laziness. Why bother doing something the right way when you can look up a summary on wikipedia and some fan art for backgrounds instead?
I'm actually convinced they do the race swapping on purpose just to see how many fans they can actually piss off.
They want to destroy everything you like and replace it with generic woke torture.
Absolutely
Yep and then call them toxic r-words and promote the true agenda of the message. To divide and conquer.
They do it on purpose to demoralise wht people, men in particular. It's a psyop.
Yep. They call it "Pissing the right people off" or something..
Honestly when it comes to “strong female characters” it’s starting to get a bit ridiculous. These writers think they can take the toxic men personality that people didn’t like on screen and just give it to the female characters. if no one liked that on men why would they like it on women either. It just gives you these cold asshole characters that are never likeable not to mention they’re just flipping it around instead of making it actual equality. The whole thing just pisses me off
Very well put. Couldn't agree more.
When men do it, it's toxic. When women do it, it's "standing up for yourself", or "expressing your power", or... pick your hackneyed phrase of the day.
Seriously, read some of the books meant for children these days; it's cringe-inducing. Girls: "You can do anything! You are awesome!" Boys: "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING WITHOUT PERMISSION!"
My friend you are asleep on politics. I can't blame you but saying that the portraial of women and men is "starting to get rediculus" is an understatement.
List the films that have many man in them and woman that reflect the actual qualities of woman. You will find it's has degraded since cinema started. So why should the cultural marxists stop now? The audience has slowly been boiled to the point where most movies have nothing in common with real life. They move closer to the shit Marcuse wants to see in the world.
They just entered overdrive. Time to stand and speak up now or you will never see films like James bond or top gun ever again
They probably want to show, "Woman can be what ever they want." even evil/bad.
Those traits didn’t become toxic in men until they gave them to women. Since the dawn of civilisation (i.e. post tribal), what would be considered masculine traits have been the governing paradigm; what gets laughingly referred to as “the patriarchy”. So once women were given equality in the areas they didn’t have it before (but conveniently got to keep their supremacy in any other areas) then in order to compete in society they adopted masculine traits. But since they still couldn’t compete with those traits (almost because those traits have some kind of, oh, I donno, *biological* source), then the narrative had to be changed so that when a woman demonstrates them it’s “strong” but when a man demonstrates them it’s “toxic”.
Ya know as a side note I think Antony Starr would make a really good Wesker, put him in some shades and slick that hair back and we'd be set for an actually good Wesker in a film supposing the writers dont cock it up. I think a movie about Umbrella between the events of RE4 and RE5 would be cool to see maybe a movie that fills in the blanks of what lead up to Chris and Jill meeting Wesker at the mansion and ending the movie with Jills faux sacrifice as she didnt really die of course. I think something along those lines of a more investigative cat and mouse type movie where Wesker infects a town lets say with a virus and basically Chris and Jill have to fight their way through and find clues to get to Wesker and have their fight in the mansion be the finale with a little bit more tacked on for a cinematic experience as opposed to just a quick 2 minute fight. Regardless its sad to see the film adaptions of a great game be so garbage really since the beginning, the only half decent things are the CG movies and thats not saying a whole lot.
Chris and Jill flew with Wesker to the mansion. They could even have a movie about the scientists who were in charge of feeding the mutated dogs at the mansion. The one dude is woken up by another and told to put on a biohazard suit. Once he develops a rash, he is told he doesn't need it anymore. Eventually, he is playing a card game with his friend, and his brain starts to decay.... killing the friend. You see this guy in the first RE game when he bursts out of the closet to attack you after reading his journal. ITCHY TASTY.
Antony Starr would be amazing as Wesker. He's perfect for the role.
Seeing Lance Reddick go from the calm, collected, dutiful, urbane badass who's much more than meets the eye in the John Wick series to this pathetic milktoast wiener is bordering on soul crushing.
John Wick is where I first saw Reddick in anything and even the little time he got in the first two I just thought "I bet this guy is a bad ass." My faith was rewarded with John Wick 3. Can't wait to see what he does in 4.
he is pretty awesome in "The wire." too.
He voiced a character in Castlevania and also has a hilarious Toys r Us short video

That, and he appears and does badassery on Payday 2. lol
I just always loved him in The destiny games his voice is so noticeable
Let's face an unpopular truth.....Live action Resident Evil (as it is right now) could really benefit from Tommy Wiseau's creative madness..... (At least, it would be fun to watch)
Not unpopular. If Tommy directed it it would at least be funny in a meme-tastic way.
Surprised no one has brought him in and given him complete freedom to create whatever he wants. It would easily be more entertaining than all this other drivel. He's already got the name recognition.
YOU'RE TEARING ME APART, ZOMBIE
Especially if they based it around the later games like 5 and 6, the pure chaos those two games alone brought to the table would be perfect for Wiseau.

So lemmie get this straight: a jet-black dude has "twin" daughters, one which is pale white and one which is light black, and when it gets mentioned that surprises the characters? Wtf?
They must have gone to public school and never learned about genetics.
Everything can be anything now, remember?
Uh…something tells me you don’t know how genetics work. Kids can be multiple shades of color, hair texture, features etc. Twins can be identical or they can be fraternal.
And when the pale white girl grows up she becomes asian.
it's a show made by progressives. So I wouldn't be surprised if they had their version of Albert Wesker is supposedly have been a cuck raising his wife's boyfriends kids. 😆
The Mila Jovovich movies are golden and Oscar worthy compared to the heap of dog ish Netflix dropped. I seen the whole season and it was a complete waste of hours I’ll never get back ever again…
The fck up of Resident Evil really started when they got the literal perfect Jill Valentine (played by Sienna Guillory) and chose to make her a side-character. She could’ve carried the entire franchise-given her charisma, dedication to her role (with her even playing RE3 to better understand Jill), and her overall likability- with a far better script and plot.
I almost completely forgot that Hollywood used to cast well at least if nothing else
Yeah but Milla Jovovich was fucking Paul WS Anderson, so Resident Evil got to be a vehicle to make action movies about milla jovovich.
@@brentharlow3559 pretty much. God i hate those two
Sienna was spicy

I am almost convince this was a generic zombie drama that Netflix had laying around in the form of a script, until they decided to slap the Resident Evil name on it just to grab some cash.
P.s: Great use of the RE 1 game clips
I don't even think it was a zombie drama. More like it was a writer's self-insert fantasy and they retooled it to be a Resident Evil story after they got asked for a script by Netflix. It would explain the main characters not being from the source material; the clumsu way Umbrella gets incorporated into being the generic, oppressive government entity; and the high school drama with a weird parent stuff.
"I sure hope this isn't Chris's blood!"
In Hollyweird, that happens all the time. The TV show, Lost, was originally conceived as a game show - I kid you not.
@@richardhart9204 holy shit, for real?!
Re1 had far superior acting. Both graphically, and voice.
I hated the show but when Lance Reddick said, “it was you, you’re the evil resident” I clapped
It's eviling time!
I actually looked that up thinking he said that. I haven’t watched the show, nor do I intend to.
With *all* the respect, it must have been Lance's delivery that made it sound good. When I read that, it just seems REALLY corny and forced. It's like the immature writer said, "Hey, this will explain WHY it's called Resident Evil! Gimme a high five for my genius? Hello? Hey, somebody?? Anybody! I want praise, dammit!"
maybe the real evil were the residents we boarded along the wayyyyyyy
It says a lot about the show that I can't even tell whether or not you're being sarcastic
I watched this entire series. I knew it was going to be bad, but this show was beyond bad. It was absolutely insane. Like written by some nonsensical jibbering madman frothing at the mouth in a mental ward.
Scenes with Lance Reddick is why I was able to push through. Was he a good "Wesker"? No. But I still found him entertaining. It is truly a case of an actor being better than the rest of production. The appearance of "Wesker Snipes" while hilarious and goofy is woefully short. It's weird because every time there is something marginally entertaining in the show, they switch grears or just stop doing it. If one is going to do a bad show, at least keep it on the entertaining parts of it. The brief scene were the show turns into a one man show featuring Lance Reddick? The show would have been better if that was it's entire premise. Would it be good? Probly not, but I think it would be more entertaining.
I hate to say it, but as boring as the Teen Drama/Corporate Intrigue was, the Post-Apocolyptic segments were somehow even more boring. Each and every character in the post apocolyspe was the fictional equivalent to a stock photo. They were extremely generic and basic.
I can confidently say, despite my enjoyment of Lance Redick in this, it is easily the worst video game adaptation ever. Uwe Bowell would blush at how bad this is. It's interesting for EVERY wrong reason. Like in a "WTF were they thinking?" Do I think anyone can make a lore accurate RE series or movie and recapture the magic the games (at least the good ones) would give? No, I actually think that's impossible, but that's a different story. At the very least, if you're making something, and you know it's gonna be riddiculous, lean into it. I actually like the Anderson films. They're terrible at being Resident Evil, dumb as all hell, but at least there is some joy to be had at their absolutely insane shenanigans and sheer commitment to shark jumping. The best this show had was the poetional to be silly/goofy fun yet was'nt near as bold or unrestrained as it needed to be to do so.
I like how the protagonist manage to keep her hair totally stylized even in the Post Apocalyptic world! Zombies must be really good hairdressers!

All the people defending it in ratings start with" I never played the games so to me it's a good show" are part of the problem.
I scrolled through a few pages of IMDB reviews and didn't see a single one defending this show. I don't think I saw any rating above 3/10. I'm not doubting you though... I'm sure these people exist somewhere, but the overwhelming consensus seems to be negative. The weird part is that I don't think anyone at Netflix will care about the low ratings.
I’ve seen a few of those kinds of comments on Facebook. Sadly, they exist.
Yes and no. You shouldn’t have had to play the games to enjoy this show. Just like you shouldn’t have to read the book a certain movie is adapted from. Adaptations should be accessible to everyone and, in a perfect world, will want to make fans check out the source material. The problem’s that the people defending this show have no taste and, as people, are as bland as brown bread.
It's godawful regardless of playing the games.
My parents watch it (they don't into video games), but even they mock the story and dialogue
The most annoying thing you hear about these adaptations is always "THIS IS THE MOST LORE ACCURATE ADAPTATION YET." Only to find that just like every single one before it, it's filled to the brim with nothing but references and an entirely reworked plot because the director wanted to make their own little special twist to the entire story and every character in it.
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant and Hilarious! I have zero desire to see something like this series. I don't need that kind irritation in my life! Many thanks! (and thank you again! A boring Friday evening and I saw the title on Netflix and reviewed this again. Whew! A close call!
I think that part where Leon said “It’s time to get Evil… Resident Evil.” Was haunting.
And when Chris said, "Residence? More like Resideads". That line got me hooked, only to then Jill barge in with Carlos and say together: "No....its Resident'in Time" Breathtaking masterpiece. It was on the scale as when Morbius said "It's Morbin' Time", Gru saying "Minions, I am going to rise", and Barbie saying "It's Barbin' Time." Truly magnificent
Joke aside I didn't think i'd live a day to say Anderson Live Action RE was the most respectful to the original material, especially for the first one, i really think that one was really good
No, Anderson's movies were trash. They just weren't woke, which I suppose today feels like a godsend but those movies were just as disrespectful of the source material.
Welcome to Raccoon City is actually the most respectful of all the adaptations, which is saying a lot because Welcome is absolute garbage.
@Ghost Probably cause this joke is already tired due to being so oversaturated.
@@JadeRunner Imo. WTRC was the WORST game adaptation movie I’ve ever seen. Even if it was trying to be faithful to the source material, it still straight up lied to their audience. The anderson and fuck, even this netflix show… for as shit as they are… at least TRIED to be something newer and having SOME resemblance to the franchise. WTRC managed to STILL fuck up characters like Leon, Wesker, Jill, Claire and Chris to a point where the movie… almost felt kind of offensive to anyone who grew up with RE1-RE3.
Also, the movie released in 2021… at this point, you’d think there’d be some quality control with the releases of Detective Pikachu or Sonic The Hedgehog to PROVE that video game adaptations can be good.
@@cloudshines812 I know wtrc sucks but the show is worse.
@@cloudshines812 you contradict yourself when you say that the Anderson and Netflix adaptations tried to be something new AND have some resemblance to the franchise. That sentence makes no sense.
I also don't know what planet you're on where you think this Netflux show resembles the games more than Welcome. Welcome actually _has_ the characters from the games, the locations, and it is actually an adaptation of the story of the first two games.
It's a terrible adaptation, yes. And I agree that they screwed up every character and did everything completely wrong, which I guess one could argue makes it a more _frustrating_ experience to watch.
But the fact remains Welcome is closer to the games than either the Anderson or Dabb versions. It's still awful, but closer to the games than the other two.
You know it’s strong writing when they’re like “I’m thinking this character has a Billie eyelash kind of vibe. it’s really going to appeal to the teen wolf audience” and then they name the character Billie and cast her with a ethnically safe Billie-looking girl and copy the same hairstyle.
It’s very subtle and peak.
Is all media these days written and directed by film school Juniors?
No, it's written and directed by people who never matured past junior HIGH.
It's cheaper I guess lol
they start the movie with a billy eyelash song!!!arhghghrgrrg!!!
All tv show and movie production "workers" today are Starbucks Twitter Tinder YASS QUEEN twentysomething girls who don't know anything else beyond that, and so all tv shows and movies reflect their "values".
dropouts and rejects, not juniors.. dont give em too much credit
Ethan Winters losing his hands, Claire babysitting a random kid, Chris punching the boulder, Ada Wong toying with Leon have better plot and storyline than whatever Netflix is trying to make their own "Resident Evil"
Casting Lance as Wesker is like casting Bruce Willis as Craig from Friday
Yippee-ki-yay, cuz
I feel sorry for Lance Reddick. Phenomenal actor roped into this fucking disaster. He needs to fire the agent that got him this gig!
Yes, Lance Reddick is actually very good - in his other role as Bert too. He's an excellent versatile actor. But this show is just wrongheaded. Why are the white characters so minor, the few there are are largely just extras only there to have their faces bashed in by black characters? What is the point of this? What is to be gained by doing this?! It is futile and divisive and just breeds ill will.
i dont feel bad for him at all - if anything he's a sellout - he still got paid and he still lives in a big ass mansion and probably gets hella bitches too
LOL, why blame the agent when he agreed to play the role himself? He had the final say.
@Yanto 0-10 power spike lmaooo first thought that came into my head when i saw him with the "Albert Wesker" getup
I though he was really good in the first few episodes but no actor could save this shambles from episode 7 onwards, OK I get the frustration that he wasn't The Albert Wesker we know he was a different character with that name but he was still a good character up until we got into the whole cloning nonsense
I love Lance Reddick, but what the fuck. I’m so tired of them race-swapping characters for the message.
Yeah writing good characters who are black are too much work and not part of "the message".
ever notice how they only race swap WP
"That's because you're an alt right transphobic sexist nazi bigot extremist phobic!"
Terrific actor, poorly miscast.
At least they race swapped for an evil character this time since they're fine making why-pipo the evil guys
Lance Reddick would probably do a great job VOICING Wesker in a game or something. Definitely got the voice for it.
Finally its here *YES*

I keep trying to hear Reddick doing classic Wesker lines. Try hearing Lance say, "No! Don't open that door!"

@@chasehedges6775 No, no he doesn't. He's a talented actor and doesn't need to do shit like this for a paycheck. He had a choice and he made it.
The thing that makes me really hate these Resident Evil adaptations is that they are non-canon stories that turn RE into a zombie apocalypse setting immediately making it boring. The part of the appeal to games like RE was that it WASN’T a zombies apocalypse or like any other zombie media

It lost me when 2 teenage girls practically walked in to a top secret facility without one, NOT "1" security guard
then walked in too a top secret laboratory, go through all the top secret stuff they had on the computer,
and then let out a top secret Zombie dog, all because she wanted too save a cute little bunny rabbit. Really???
Dude yes! That was so poorly written. Made no sense at all that there wasn’t increased security lmao.
My brain oozed outta my ears nose and mouth, it was painful and numbing watching that scene!
That is a most accurate synopsis.
And blamed her dad for all of it afterwards! What a joke that protagonist was.
It's not even really a matter of it being "top secret". Based on what Umbrella was working on there, this would have been a biosafety level 4 facility. Those are, if the makers of this nonsense were making the slightest attempt at realism, required to be built in such a way that what the girls were doing would have been functionally impossible.
This is my theory: A group of writers/producers wanted to profit off of a zombie themed property, They throw around ideas and scripts until they hit on the idea that the story is like one of those Resident Evil movies. Hey! Let's make a Resident Evil series! Then they shoe horn some events and characters into their scripts, even importing Weskar as a name/character, making sure he is the correct race. They pitch it and Netflix says "Great, here's a blank check, do it!" CapCom says "give me the money and we got a deal". They don't care about their reputation, they just care about getting paid. Thank you CD for reviewing this piece of crap!
I genuinely don’t get why they constantly try to piggy back off of already established properties like cowboy bebop, death note & resident evil etc, it’s like they take a light spray of the essence of these IP’s just to make it vaguely recognisable as said thing & then decide to scrap all the source material and tell their own shitty story using already established characters and themes, why not just make your own show at that point? It’s just piggybacking off of someone else’s success, the death note adaption wasn’t even close to being death note, same with cowboy bebop, why not just make your own space bounty hunter show with a different name instead of just taking the name of another and making it your own story?
"not caring about their reputation" may be off, because they almost ruined RE themselves and had to dial it back imensly to make it scary again.
@@bruhdon4748 Thats all lazy ass modern business mangers know how to do is piggy back on other's reputations. Not limited to hollywierd, they constantly buy out reputable brands and immediately destroy the quality so they can scam a short term boost in margin before word gets out. Nothing more than slash and burn agriculture.
Never buy a brand that was recently bought out. Its not really the reputation of the brand as it is the reputation of the management team behind it.
I did a dateline of every RE game ever made. Jesus, I never realized there were so many. And to think that they might actually still be profitable. Wow....
As for this TV show, I don't think Capcom cared. Their executives just wanted another paycheck from Netflix. This isn't Star Wars where everything has to be canon. Hell, Capcom games could never even reference this TV series. Like it never existed. And I think that was the point. Capcom got paid specifically not to interfere with the production design. And in response Capcom took that request to heart. So they didn't promote it and will likely ignore it in all of their other game associated products. And no, I don't see there being a season 2. Netflix screwed up another IP that should have made them money hand over fist if they had just been loyal to the source material. The problem is nobody in the production team probably even had spent 10 minutes playing a RE game. They probably read a game review on the the game highlights and called it a day. A 20 minute internet search that created the ground work for this mess.
My Theory is that South Park is correct: Just like Manatees and Idea Balls generates Family Guys - Rats and Garbage are used to make new Netflix shows.
the fact that they try to make teenage angst appealing in this shows the level of maturity in the the writers of this show. imagine there was someone who thought of a wesker backstory and thought that he had girl boss daughters was a good idea
Being a Resident Evil fan is like being in an abusive relationship, you remember the good old days but now you might get a delightful surprise or might get a punch to the gut, it's a roll of the dice really.

Its so stupid how they could never make a decent movie/tv show based off the game. I mean they could of even made a TV show based around the game story but about other characters we never got to see. That would of been something and they could still of used the diverse cast they seem to love. I mean race changing Wesker is a big no for me.
@@alanepley4326 Original or remake? Cause this is a dumb statement if it's for the original.
I think the outcome of this show is perfectly natural, the writers themselves are so infected with the virus of nihilism, complacency, resentment and cancellation, that they are doomed to produce a self-cancelling product .. the writers cannot escape themselves, and the show itself is a perfect metaphor for our culture infected with an evil resident .. hallelujah and God save us from our champions!
Dude, an eloquently philosophical post such as yours does not belong on youtube, nevermind the internet.
The internet is for cat videos, shitty memes and bad hot takes. Take your eloquently composed and insightful expression elsewhere.
Beautifully written
If these woke assholes are our heroes.... I'm changing sides and joining the villain.... All hail Lord Doom...
Yeesh.
"Resident Evil takes place in a magical fantasy world where about 90% of all military, scientific, executive leadership and general positions of authority are held by women."
And look how that world ended up. Sounds like a cautionary tale.
Holy based
As he was going through this line I thought it would end in "are incompetent", because seriously it's the only way a zombie apocalypse could ever happen. A country like China would literally nuke their own cities if it meant to end the virus on their borders. But anyway, "are held by women" works just fine as synonymous to incompetent lol.
Dont forget a world where teenage girls can punch out grown men.
I see this writing as a win!
Sort of how the pro-illegal immigrant crowd uses the American Indians vs the Euro settlers as a justification for letting hordes of them over-run us. Then fail to see that bolsters our case.
The whole time I was being chased by Lady Dimitrescu, one thought was on my mind: I wish this had more teenage angst and drama
I'm embarrassed Lance Reddick dedicated his time to this. He's an outstanding character actor who could do so much better.
I hope he was well paid.
He is an amazing actor but he is no Albert Wesker.
Considering the never ending Netflix subscription increases, I'm sure he was.
Oh Drinker, are you really surprised that these two characters never asked their dad any questions about himself? That would mean they'd had to think about someone other than themselves, and we all know those characters (and their writers) just aren't capable
Sounds perfectly accurate to kids these days
bad writing in a nutshell, what happens when you allow activists write for you
That's the literal meaning of 'woke'. You don't actually have to care about anyone but yourself... you just have to PRETEND to care on social media... and usually in the cringiest ways possible.
That's a very good point.

When I saw Jade Wesker being the so called Badass female character that fights zombies, monsters and survives I was like, oh well I guess the husband is the scientist. But no, she is the brilliant scientist too and the husband is just a house husband taking care of her daughter (that isn't his on top of that).
One thing is the message but this truly is just trying to pretend people are something they are not
what do you mean "just a house husband" Why would you consider it inferior that a man takes care of family-life? And why would it be outrageous that a woman is a scientist? Do you actually think through what you are writing?
@@endlessstudent3512 you must be new to woke media
@@endlessstudent3512 You have a show where the badass action hero is also a scientist, and it's a bit cheesy. Then they come home to a place-holder spouse, raising their kid for them while they go off and "adventure" on their own for half-a-year at a time in a post-apocalyptic hellhole, and the hero really seems like a jerk.
Gender swapping the roles doesn't make it better.
@@endlessstudent3512 The trouble is that they apparently have to put men into submissive roles to make the women seem cool. I like a movie with a well done house-husband, and nobody would mind of it was at least a bit realistic. But no, just pile everything onto one character and expect it to be believable, like a high skilled combat woman who also is a brilliant scientist? That sounds like a Mary-sue..
@@DJBabb Ture, but I heard no one complain in the many movies before, where the guy was badass scientist and away for long periods while the house-wive was home alone. There are many such examples out there. But thats normal and accepted. If it is displayed the other way around, people take offense. And that should not be the case. And while I agree that the series is badly done, I think thats because the plotholes, not because of some color/gender swaps.
Honestly my favourite part about this masterpiece of a series was when Albert Wesker said: ‘Its Weskin’ time!’ and decided to magically transform from a blonde white dude to black middle aged man with kids. Truly one of the moments of movie-history!
For the rest of my life, I will not understand looking at one of the most irredeemable, heartless villains of this franchise, a blue-eyed blond racial supremacist who is literally trying to engineer a worldwide genocide of "lesser people", and going, "I know, let's make him black!"
Seriously, wtf. They had their favorite villain stereotype all wrapped up and ready to go, right there where the fans would defend that decision to the death, and they couldn't even do THAT right!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
T virus is really devastating if left in a zombie long enough , Leon and Chris weren't trying to survive, they were ending the zombies suffering
@@YouWillBeHappyOrElse While Wesker can be classified as a racial supremacist(or maybe species supremacist might be better) I guess, it's not really a black and white issue it's more like a new vs old issue.
This is certainly one of the shows of all time!
I watched the first episode and was genuinely impressed by the level of 'netflixness' of it. I thought such a pure specimen incorporating all of the wokest tropes together and having absolutely no plot or point to it at the same time couldn't possibly exist.
Yeah, Milla Jovovich films look like absolute masterpieces of cinematography right now.
Netflixness lol. Not bad, I like that
Netflix is insane to release something like this.They turned a sci-fi show about Zombies into a High School soap-opera for 12yr old Girls. If you like Teen K-pop dramas with family issues ,you're in for a treat.
Resident Evil isn't even about zombies is the thing.
Except "Train to Busan" made it clear Korea actually knows how to do zombie thrillers...unlike this.
@@johntumahab323 And if you do want to mix Korean zombie thriller with a high school setting, there's already "All of Us are Dead."
What are K-pop dramas?
It's like the drinker says, "who's this for?" It sits there with an 18 certificate with a plot for 11 year olds.. I just don't get it
Wisker is the reverse of Michael Jackson 😂
Poor guy
Honestly, the whole "I am vegan!" bit could have been funny because of the contrast of someone averse to eating animal products being stuck in the zombie apocalypse. But of course it was just another entry point for high school drama.
Also, Albert Wesker in the game is a white alpha male Übermensch because he signifies the eugenic aspirations of Umbrella. I can only applaud Reddicks performance, but he was horribly miscast.
@@zsbacskai7331 If we are going to play the racist game just remember one thing. These were the people who made pretty much everything we have today alongside asians. If tech creation were dependant of the dark ones we would still be hunting animals with a spear.
You can tell Zs Bacskai is playing kiss ass to the woke crowd saying “White people arent the most smart or athletic” by being a racist and justify miscast of an actor who has much higher potential then this garbage. I don’t have problem with Lance being in Resident evil just think he could’ve represented a much better resident evil character over wesker who is in canon dead, and they could’ve made a brand new resident evil character too, but took lazy ass route instead.
To also add intelligence and strength has nothing to do with race, that’s just attribute that applies to anyone
@@revolversniper279 Yes that's true, but still there are cultures that hinder progress of individuals, you can't step out of line or you'll face harsh repercussions - for example Iraqi army pre 2003 was awful, bc generals and high ranking officers (who often couldn't read English manuals) thought of those under their command as inferior, took no criticism and never listened to their advices, thus as a general rule the Iraqi army was weak. Hence why it was so easily defeated and weak soldiers surrendered in droves.
These cultural differences is what matters, that's why there are worse and better cultures, which actually allow for progress, space exploration, medicine, tech, superior armies, polite or just generally nicer people - Look at Sweden pre 2015, no skyrocketing crime, in particular grape.
@@zsbacskai7331 And who's the smartest? Asians? Are you going by that stereotype that every Asian is a walking calculator? Sorry, most inventions came out of Europe and predominantly white USA. I'll give you that black people are the most athletic, but they historically are the least smart, as are the Asians compared to white people, purely based on the amount of inventions throughout history. Sorry, but it's one's culture that decides about progress, it decides if individuals are able to thrive in their environment and eventually try to invent things.
You are also basically saying that a white alpha male couldn't defeat a black alpha male? Seems weird, happened in boxing too many times to count.
Besides, he was horribly miscast bc the original Wesker was white. But race swapping in Hollywood is the new norm, they can't seem to create new, interesting stories for black roles.
Also the concept of being an alpha male has nothing to do with being athletic. You can be athletic and still be a complete beta male - it's your convictions and your mind, have you ever watched Goodfellas? There's an overweigh short white guy there, but he could terrify a 6 feet tall black guy. And he existed in real life. It's all about power and respect, not being athletic. Have you seen how bosses are usually obese? But they still hold the power, respect. It's the way you talk and act, with confidence. Being athletic helps, sure, but is never the deciding factor.
Also if it goes for eugenics, white people are as good as any, and Wesker being white surely would hold racist views anyway. I don't see any benefits to mix us anyway. There are none, it's just a concept that's been proven (allegedly) wrong, described by our Overlords at Google as erroneous.
But what can I expect from today's Hollywood, that's why I do not watch this crap. Have fun children, am too old for this crap, yes, our time has passed, as will yours.
