      The way I see it for Lucas is that when she encountered the family, Lucas was putting on a facade of being harmless, but was a psychopath all along. Thus, when she started twisting the parents, he just used it as an excuse to stop hiding his true self, and since he kept helping his parents kill people, she just assumed that his change in behavior was because of her.

I get the sense that the parents didn’t know that Eveline could, and thus didn’t realize that they were being mind controlled until it was too late. She also isolated herself from the rest of the family, and they probably figured that since she’d already been infected, she would eventually fall under the mind control eventually.

    I think RE 7 has my favorite story out of all the Resident Evil games because it made me feel sorry for the villains. The Bakers used to be just a normal family who were taking in survivors from the storm; Jack and Marguerite used to be loving parents, Zoe was immune to Eveline’s mind control and had to watch her family turn into insane monsters that scorn her, and even in Lucas’s case, he might’ve been an asshole even back then, but he could’ve gotten help for his psychosis in another scenario.
    And yet, even though Eveline is responsible for corrupting the Baker family, I can’t help but also sympathize with the fact that she never chose to be a bioweapon; she never had a normal childhood and was instead just a test subject engineered by an organization that just wanted to use her powers. It’s debatable on whether she truly did want a family or if she just instinctively saw as a means for control; I personally go with the belief that she did want a family of her own that would love her, but because of how she was raised, she never understood that a family’s love was not the same as having total control of them. It’s why she gets upset when people reject her and refuse to be part of her twisted “family”, because of her own loveless upbringing, and in her eyes, if no one will choose to love her, she’ll force them to. It doesn’t make her any less sadistic and malevolent, but it is still sad to think that any chance she had of being a normal girl was robbed from her.

It was something different but still familiar, and with Village coming soon, there’s also the possibility that RE 7 was setting up a larger story that does have ties to the previous games; after all, it was said that HCF was working with the Connections, the organization that made Eveline.

    Fun fact: they actually tell you right at the beginning of the game who the main villain is. After finding Mia you will reach a room where she is looking for a door that is not there. Look on the metal stand across from the couch and you will see a photo of the old lady in the wheelchair (this is the same photo you see at the end of the game before the final boss fight 20:57).

    You know, I highly suspected the Mold was useful not merely as a form of Eveline’s mind control, but some limited form of telepathy amongst the rest of the infected/Bakers. It is my personal theory that the vision Ethan saw really did consist of the real Jack and Zoe - why not the others? Because Marguerite is dead and Lucas is able to resist the Mold. Zoe didn’t have to be present with Jack in the vision, but she was - because they were still alive (the End Of Zoe DLC confirms Jack was alive at that point in time). Zoe was there because she knew she was slowly being infected with the Mold and couldn’t stop changing. Her presence is important. What if the Mold retained the memories and subconscious of those it infected, a bit like a hive mind? It means the real Jack was still in there somewhere, even if he couldn’t be saved. That’s what truly saddens me.

    • @angeliccreeper1486
      @angeliccreeper1486 3 года назад +13

      I’m pretty sure it is actually a hive mind. It also explains how Zoe (and later on, Lucas) was able to call Ethan through the telephones in the house. Zoe is a part of Eveline’s hive mind, and Lucas is still able to see Eveline’s child form despite having been cured, so that means he still has some kind of mental connection to it. Lucas and Zoe are able to act with more clarity than Jack and Marguerite, who have progressed into the late stages of their infection. Since Ethan is also infected with the Mold, both of the Baker children are able to know when Ethan is in front of a phone and can call him that way.

      I’m actually quite curious on how Zoe and Mia were able to resist Eveline’s mind control despite having been infected for the same three years as the rest of the Bakers. Did their infection from the Mold just progress slower for them? I would say that Mia’s in the mid-stage part of her infection since the serum doesn’t kill her, but she also doesn’t have total immunity to Evie’s control. Would that mean that Zoe is still in the initial stage despite having been infected for the same amount of time as her family?

It seems like Eveline was able to give Mia amnesia, which is how she was able to progress to the mid-stage.

    I’m so glad you went over the DLC plots, I had no idea about them, I just thought Zoe had been forsaken after watching your play through ༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽

    I just finished this in VR, the most immersive/horrifying experience of my life, and I grew up on alone in the dark, RE1/2/3, fatal frame and Silent Hill.

    I think the reason why Lucas was killed off in the DLC is because the devs did'nt want to turn him into the next Albert Wesker.
