If they say he's a secret survivor of W project (go for wiki, kinda long) it's more acceptable, RE is not consistent with their canon anyway. They just really fanatical in race swapping existing character, even using "clone" excuse
Lol - this reminded me of when they first nutted out cloning and of all the things to clone they went for a sheep... which all look the bloody same anyway. They seem to have gone completely the other way here and misunderstood the entire concept of cloning. I believe the results will be similar though, much like this show... Dolly the sheep spent a few short months on life support before dying (they hadn't quite perfected cloning then either).
Even listening to Drinker explain this is horrendous. I can't even imagine what he had to go through actually watching this complete s h i t e. And I was a PS1 RE fan.
I think it bothers the OG fans like us more. The first four games relied more on music, sound, environment, and limited dialogue to induce horror. No cloning, no focus on drama and backstories. There are documents you can find to explore the lore, but most of it is not necessary to complete the game. The first R.E. film kind of did an OK job. They introduced a lot of original characters so it didn't hurt the lore. Simple plot, simple action, very easy to digest without too much dialogue. It got worse as they added more monsters, concepts like cloning and complete world devastation, and convoluted plot devices. The Netflix show saw all of the negatives of the films, adapted them to a cw teen drama, and took away the core of the Umbrella Corporation (White Supremists obsessed with Eugenics). Zombie stuff needs to be simple. Like Train to Busan, Dawn of the Dead or 28 days later. A RE film where characters like Leon, Chris, and Claire have to investigate a cruise ship or prison full of zombies could be good. Could have umbrella send counter ops like H.U.N.K. to interfere with them in order to destroy any evidence of Umbrella involvement. Simple is usually better.
I sat through this shit as well. Alarm bells were ringing in the first episode but I pushed on in hopes that it would have something redeemable. That’s 8 hours I’ll never get back.
At this point your average restaurant menu makes for a better script than most of what gets filmed now. Funny, people used to say The Blair Witch project was cheap and poorly written.
Netflix: We're losing millions of subs a day. We're turning things around so we don't lose money and more subs. Also Netflix: Let's race swap characters and virtue signal the fuck out of this Resident Evil series. It'll bring everyone back! They won't learn and they'll be consumed by a larger company, then gutted and used for something else.
@@Lonovavir Well technically it *was* cheap and poorly written. It was super low budget and the script was literally just intentionally vague directions for the cast on a bunch of small notes.
Part of me wonders if bad entertainment is a conspiracy to get us to accept lowered standards so "creators" don't have to work as hard while still getting paid.
@@Lonovavir nah. Because for the purposes of entertainment from a dumb action movie those get the job done. They always have. The difference now is that we can say that this new thing is so much worse that it can't even measure up to the low bar of a dumb fun action movie. That is all
@@Zathren I'd watch the first 2 Resident Evil movies, the rest are so unrelated to Resident Evil that the 3rd one is more of a spin-off of _Mad Max_ than an adaption of Resident Evil.
i mean that could be a twist to explain how the lickers are so agile "it because the hosts used to make YOGA" what a twist, how deepen it make the lore you know 😏😆😂😭
Yeah... Unless it is followed by "zombies break in, they do back flip cartwheels to their shotguns mounted on the wall, and proceed to explode the zombies."
It's like the inverse Taj Mahal: everybody that worked on this needs to get their hands cut off just in case they might get to work on another property and replicate the awfulness.
Netflix’s Black 🪨 Resident Evil 😈 where Netflix replace White People with Black 🪨 People and call it Netflix’s Black 🪨 Resident Evil 😈 ! Eww… 🤮 ! Netflix decided to misappropriate Resident Evil 😈 and replace White People with Black 🪨 People and call 📞 it Netflix’s Black 🪨 Resident Evil 😈 ! Eww… 🤮..
Yea and then the head of netflix dares to state it is losing subsciptions due to "accountsharing". I wouldnt even share netflix with my worst enemy. 😜 If you had good shows people wouldnt share cause they want alle the screens to themselves 🤣
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 The Witcher wasn't as bad as this shit but it was still crap. Pointless changes to the story and terrible, political casting just to suit the current climate. It's sad because I liked Cavil as Geralt but then they obviously had to have an Indian Yennefer (who as annoying as fuck), a black Fringilla (who was even more annoying as fuck) and a mixed race Triss because colourblind casting is fashionable and obviously should be celebrated 🤦♂️.
The problem is that they're trying everything to capitalize on this series, except giving people what they want. The f***ing script is already written for them and yet they still screw it up. Now we got this crap, Resident Evil 90210. I give up.
The opening scene was enough for me, it's the end of the world but she has perfect hair, eyebrows, makeup and clothing and the zombies come for a rabbit but not her even though she is just a few meters away.
Because zombies in a zombie franchise are not a threat.... as they decided they were all blind, deff and smell retarded. To tell.... some symbalwance of a story? (In the writing teams heads....) Personally I just started laughing as this thing took itself dead serius. Its parody levels... unintentionally. its like the Cancelled New Warriors, all over again.
I don’t wanna be that guy but before she left the tent in the beginning she did spray herself with something which I’m assuming is repellant? I guess that’s why the zombies didn’t see her until she accidentally cut herself
@@sirjackson321 either way why not study the results from a far away building and use binoculars to observe the results. A smart person would not take those kinds of risks
@@emilioochoa2862 oh yeah I agree! I didn’t understand why her tent was on the ground to begin with. Surely being in an elevated position makes more sense
There's a reason why they do that. It makes continuity easier. If you have dirty marks on a face or clothing then that has to be photographed and replicated between shoots to ensure it doesn't look different.
Once I saw a video of that shit I immediately decided I wouldn't go any further with this show. As if the teen drama and shitty, insufferable writing weren't enough.... they went and did that shit? Can't handle it
"The head of Umbrella is a lesbian." Of course. Of course she is. There's literally nothing else on Earth she could be. Was on Netflix the other day and just for fun clicked on the "SURPRISE ME" tab to see what it would play and it started playing this RE garbage. I've never clicked off anything so fast in my life.
Best part is she drugged her wife into loving her. Only thing keeping a lesbian relationship together in this show is brain-melting drugs that could turn someone into a zombie at high doses. Based as fuck.
The biggest slap to the face is that it's pretty easy to make a good, faithful RE movie. Small cast, less dialogue, regular action (these are SWAT-tier protags, not superheroes), dread atmosphere (easy since the first 2 games are mostly in claustrophobic-ish areas with a lot of twists and turns). You'd have to cut out a fair amount of the running-around-solving puzzles-to-open-doors schtick but let's take RE1 f.ex: A movie about Jill Valentine being the main character, that way you get Barry as a supporting character and a good couple of scenes where he helps you or appears to give you ammo to weave some exposition, maybe him tagging along for a while. Scenes like the shotgun rescue would be great drama. Even better, use the remake. Now you have the Lisa Trevor story you can do, something both horror and tragic. Use the scene where you and barry team up and open the coffin. That scene where she takes her mother's skull and jumps off into the abyss could be so poignant if well done. Shareholders and producers who see a lucrative IP and use it with a few token references to squeeze out money from fans is one of the worst practices in hollywood. The obsession with maximizing profits at the cost of passion is why many industries suck hard nowadays (videogames especially)
In movie form I think the Lisa Trevor bit would be bloating the story too much. There's plenty of lore already to make a decent movie out of just the first game.
@Heath The characters getting bit with nothing happening is part of gameplay, not how something like that would actually go down. If the monsters couldn't bite the characters to do damage, or the characters were able to easily avoid confrontation then the game would be boring. That being said, the Outbreak games actually had an infection meter and if you got bitten enough you would die and become a zombie.
Every failed project like this makes me wish I could just go out and make fan films with actual passionate fans. They couldn’t be worse looking than these things from actual companies. But they can be better written at least.
One of the easiest adaptation to do and Hollywood still keeps fucking it up. Capcom have get people that actually is a fan of series to adapt it, and not some hack writers that want to tell "their" stories that wasn't theirs to began with.
After the absolute borefest of a shit movie that was Monster Hunter (and surprise surprise Milla Jovovich is the main character) which has none of the spirit or soul of the actual Monster Hunter games, i have given up on the hope that Capcom can make a good movie out of any of their franchises.
Capcom just wants a quick and easy paycheck out of adaptations. They could care less about what it does to the brand or if it's even remotely faithful to the games. Next movie is going to be a sitcom with a Licker as the wacky neighbor.
At least the movies cared about action and pretending to even look like or ape the aesthetic of the games. This just steals a couple names and the logo then pretends it's doing a Resident Evil. CW makes RE is right. It's female empowerment coming of age story with zombies in the background. And the zombies suck. The lickers were ok but it makes up for none of the rest of it.
At this point, the Drinker, Mauler, Fringy, Rags, Jay and the rest of the EFAP-verse have saved me quite a bit of money explaining me why not to watch stuff in cinemas. They're not saving me time though, but I feel it's time well spent lol
They don't actually save us time but their content is infinitely more enjoyable, I've watched Mauler's 9+ hour critique of The Rise of Skywalker more times than the actual movie.
It's almost like they tried to take worst aspects of a movie, things people hated, things people in general hate, disregard anything old games related, "woke up" character x 9000 and now they will be suprised why everybody finds this peace of shit unwatchable. Basically Bollywood Walking dead, but from start it's season 11 and unwatchable.
It's amazing how Netflix said they know they're losing money and subs and they're going to turn things around... but they keep producing shit like this. It would be like handing a kid the answer book for a test and the kid still fails the test.
I remember when it was first announced and I read the initial pitch for it. Everyone, and I do mean *everyone*, on the Resident Evil subreddit straight up went “Oh fuck me, this is going to suck…” No one wanted this show, no one thought that this show was a good idea and absolutely no one who’s even a little interested in Resident Evil will watch this show.
That's the point, they think that non-RE fans will love this shit. They just keep turning everything into woke shit, that only people with serious brain damage will give a damn about.
Even my wife gave a heavy sigh and rolled her eyes when we saw the teen drama aspects and just AWFUL dialogue, and her only understanding of RE is from the Jovovich movies 🤣
At this point I view companies like Amazon, Netflix and HBO as incompetent, woke activist groups who wear popular franchises like skin-suits. Long gone are the days when we could safely assume these projects were directed by talented entertainers with a sincere desire to create engaging stories for their audience.
@@MyBoyNewton And they are blatantly incompetent. One does not exclude the other. If they were smart they would try to package the "message" into something that the general audiences wouldn't mind so much. They can't even begin to try and reach that level of basic competence.
@@gusty9053 the problem is the people they try to reach are too stupid to see the sublimal messages so they need to make it as obvious if they can else they wont understand it
@@morphineod8785 Not saying there aren't exceptions. I've heard good things about both those shows. But Amazon also made The Rings of Power, and that's shaping up to be the most expensive woke dumpster fire of all time.
Concerning the race swap: Albert Weskers appearance in the game actually has a narrative function. Weskers physique is such an over-the-top representation of the Nazi Übermensch ideal that it's almost comical. But that's the point of his character: him being a tall, square jawed, massively ripped, blond-haired beast signifies the evil, eugenic aspirations of Umbrella. I love Lance Reddick too, but even he can't save the train wreck of Wesker being turned into a bald fifty year-old who has to put up with his sassy daughters' bull#$%&.
They’re too short sighted to realize the thing they at least say they hate so much, is the villain they’re changing Thank god the REm4ke made wesker, wesker
Good prank is to cancel the card before you do that, and let her spend like 2 hours thinking the card’s gonna work. I also like buying giftcards thay say 100$ on em, but only loading. 20$
Gundam cracks me up. The poor bloke ends us ill from all this nonsense going on. He's very sensitive lol. You can tell it gives him a terrible pain like Yossarian from the "I'm desperate" scene in Catch 22.
It's simple. Netflix wanted a zombie movie, and then they slapped the Resident Evil name on what shit they had so it has pull. In the other adapations they even made some effort to make a few references, they didnt here. And just as i am writing this, the Drinker mentions it. God damnit Bobby.
When I saw the picture of the Wesker daughter, the series was done for me. I prefer to watch Mrs. Jovovich's movies. After the Viking series and the black Viking princess (from their appearance, the series was also dead for me), I consistently pull the plug and do not give me the Woken shit dirt more. I want to be entertained and not indoctrinated by intelligence-free self-fertilizing slugs.
@@christopherkelley1664 Exactly. Africa has its own proud culture. Why does one use this rape of history. It is just sick what happens in the "value west".
Tried hatewatching it with my best friend the day before last. We tried. We REALLY did! But we couldn't get past episode 2. It was just so unbelievably bad.
@@kenjifox4264 It's been a thing for awhile, and I do not get the appeal. I honestly think marketers came up with it to trick people who otherwise wouldn't watch this crap into watching it.
@@kenjifox4264 it can be fun in small doses, and it has to be something so bad it's good. Best example I can think of is Red Letter Media watching Battlefield Earth
Pitch meeting: "This is the worst plot I've ever read. This sounds like a horrible show and there's no way we are going to produce this." "But....what if we say its 'Resident Evil' related?" "....I'm listening..."
“Won’t it be difficult if the real resident evil fans complain?” “Actually, it’s going to be super easy. Barely an inconvenience.” “Oh, really?” “Yeah. We’re just going to claim that everyone complaining is a racist whatever-phobe.” “And that works?!” “It hasn’t failed us yet.”
i love the fact that the main badasses are not just around at all. you would think that if a new umbrella corps was made, the BSAA, the president of the united states, NATO, chris, claire, sheva, jill, leon, LITERALLY ANYONE, would send a detachment or spies to ensure not more virus fuckery is around.
The entire point of RE is that the heroes always save the world at the end. That's what makes it original in the zombie genre. Everything else is just generic zombie apocalypse. Netflix obviously chose to do the latter.
Not to mention, if the story is set long after the events of the Raccoon City Incident, why is the new Umbrella Corps still working on the Tyrant Virus’ monsters, which should be either perfected/obsolete by that point? Like, this show apparently teases a copy of RE1’s T-002 Tyrant for Season 2, which was a prototype all the way back in 1998 during the Mansion Incident. And if the general premise of RE5 is alluded to, with the “real” Wesker having been killed in a volcano, shouldn’t the Weskers be focused on agents like the Uroboros Virus, instead of still experimenting with the older T-Virus?
This shows Hollywood doesn't learn from its mistakes. All can say about the new dnd movie with Chris Pine coming out.....won't touch that either. Hollywood is dying cause they can't even see the messy shotgun wound that is their feet
Just caught the trailer for that d&d movie...at least it's got some iconic monsters, and the production value looks good. But.....it looks like total crap beyond that. The snark and 'humor' in the trailer, is definitely not selling me on the movie. Wouldn't matter whether it's good or bad, it's WOTC, and they can KMA for what they've done to D&D. TSR FOREVER!!!
Episodes 7 and 8 are remarkable, the phrase jumping the shark could have been created for these episodes. Although it would probably be Jumping the Croc, and Black Neo should really get more screen time, possibly in the late 1990s, in a different film...
They just keep on throwing sh*t onto the wall and none of them sticked so they just choose the worst turd out of that pile and that is Netflix's Resident Evil in a nutshell.
The problem is that EVERYTHING feels like something else that they've just slapped a franchise name on it. Could you honestly say that The Book of Boba Fett had ANYTHING that felt like it was written specifically for Boba Fett? Can you say that anything in Picard is written specifically to the character of Picard or his Star Trek universe? The new habit seems to be to just write a generic script and then adapt it for whatever franchise needs an instalment.
Biggest problem with book of boba Kathleen Kennedy got her grubby hands on it when Jon had to go do some work for ahsoka, when production for boba was starting to go downhill (reshoots were happening) Jon returned to attempt to fix what she had done threatening to walk if he even heard her name uttered on set, but damage was already done (there's a reason two episodes were dedicated to Mando)
I knew this was gonna suck because it's netflix. They can't help themselves. And hearing of black Wesker just confirmed what I already predicted. But watching the Quarterings video on it and seeing the article basically saying it's Gossip girl with zombies made me underestimate how bad this show must really be. In all honesty I'd be satisfied with the notorious intro to the first game extended to a whole movie at this point. At least it'll be entertaining.
@@thatperformer3879 what a coincidence, I just got your reply straight after watching Angry Joes review. And yeah, it looks garbage. Hard to believe it could be related to Resident evil.
"It feels like it was something else and they just slapped the RE label on it and hoped for the best" - that sums up so many movies we've seen for years which are allegedly based on established IPs - they had another script but knew it was crap so they slightly modified it to an established IP and that's how we got a movie that was called one thing, but didn't resemble it in the least bit.
And Weskers two daughters are the most ungrateful, deceitful, backstabbing offspring anyone could ever have in their worst nightmare... Their constant breaking of their father's trust is the most heart breaking thing of the series.... Everytime he helps them they find a new way to stab him in the back!
We knew it would be bad as soon as it was announced and they revealed race-swapped Wesker and the rest of the cast. Though to be fair I didn't think it would be quite this bad.
@@fictiontheorizer1991 As with any Resident Evil adaptation, I had low expectations, anyway. That way, one day I might get a pleasant surprise and someone will take the helm that actually knows (and likes) the story, the characters, and the atmosphere that makes RE great.
Insert simpsons “Stop! Stop! he’s already dead!” Meme… just leave resident evil alone it’s clear by all the godawful movies and this .. I don’t even have an accurate for this “series” that no one knows wtf they are doing with resident evil and they just need to stop
Look at Resident Evil, and now imagine the atrocities that await us when they do the exact same thing to Avatar: The Last Airbender, Sandman, and Chronicles of Narnia...
I love all of you guys. You're hilarious and insightful. I have zero interest in watching that garbage but I will happily watch you all talk about it. These days I look forward to your reviews more than the actual content!
Based on what I heard of it, someone in the writing team is a pervert who likes Zootopia porn. There is nothing like RE. It's Zombie apocalypse with intersectional zombies this time. I'm tired of this Zombie Apocalypse. Also apparent there's this drug called Joy that is laced with T-Virus. Also the Wesker we got is a Solid Wesker. There must be a Liquid and and Solidus Wesker. Wait, They made Head of Umbrella a lesbian too? She's not Spencer, is she? I could give this a pass if they went with Tricell. Lance Reddick is the best actor and plays best character in Hoorizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West in my opinion. He was terribly underused in the second one.
i dont like to believe in minternet gossip...but this is pedolliwood we're talking about so... i woudlnt be surprised about that writer's disgusting kinks
Yeah, I officially declare ALL of them from her as pure classic guilty pleasures. Give me Paul Anderson's RE plus the animated videos of it over this anyday!
I hope you guys are happy, I didn't know this travesty existed until you started talking about it! Still at least you've saved me the trauma of watching it.
Forget the radiation, thermonuclear detonations have a unique double pulse that can be picked up on seismographs. A long running method of detecting that 'secret' nuclear detonations have taken place. With enough of them you can even figure out where. .. IN fact the unique double gamma pulse that goes along with it can be detected by sensitive enough equipment from lunatic distances, as long as it is not obscured, as in extra-solar distances. More believable, though drawing a LOT of attention, would be a thermobaric air/fuel detonation, though the magnitude and skill needed to pull it off WOULD show up in paper trails. Something that size would not be a minor logistical feat. There is always the old chemical plant wheeze, though the right mix of aluminium oxide dust and other such fun stuff on that scale all over a city.. A Logistical feat, and the subterfuge to carry it out... if would needed to have been something built in place from the very start of Raccoon City. A fake industrial sector, underground storage with surface disbursement, some chemical/element to 'contaminate and quarantine' the area, a long list... I can think of one ... thing that would have the city packed into boxes and buried, it allegedly looks pretty to but YIKES; nosy people would nedd up getting buried along with the rest of the waste during the 'clean up' as they'd not be long for this Earth. Point being to hide destroying an entire city, you'd need a very good plan and something to keep nosy people from digging around ... Nuking it and saying 'it burned down' is not a thing and seismology can tell the difference between a nuke and a comet detonating like it did over Tunguska as well, it does not have that unique signature.
Fortunately, this mess doesn’t affect the games at all. RE2 Remake is still one of the best single player games in recent years, and I am deeply appreciative of that.
My favorite part was when Blade showed up and said “Why Some motherf#%^s are always trying to ice skate uphill” and then bladed all over them…gave me chills
One of he worst things that happened with Resident Evil was the Paul W.S. Anderson movies being so profitable, technically it was a successful franchise and Hollywood just doesn't have the will or incentive to adapt them properly
Well as awful, nonsensical and stupid as the Anderson movies were, at least they were fun to watch (with alcohol) for some people (such as myself, again, still doesn't mean they were good movies as a lot of people hate them with perfectly good reasons)... But the latest RE stuff can't even do that... Hopefully one day, they might be able to create an actually good (and not so bad, its 'good') movie off RE...but I don't see that actually happening anytime soon as it would require actually playing and giving a damn about the games...
by the logic of modern hollywood, someone needs to buy the rights to Charlie's Angels and make it a Motorcycle movie where Charlie runs the club and his angels are his Bikers and they beat up other bikers

This show has so little to do with RE it’s insane. The best equivalent would be if the new Black Panther movie was about Black Panther’s white son starting up a pawn shop in Florida… it has the BP name, but has nothing to do with ANYTHING.
I knew little to nothing about Resident Evil beyond some movie details until I played RE8: Village. After I beat it I immediately bought 7, beat it, bought 2 & 3 remake, beat them & basically binged 7 games in 1 month. I fell in love with the RE characters, lore, monsters & so on. As a recent but HUGE fan I must say I find this to be vomit inducing.
Welcome stranger! I grew up with the ps1 and re1…and have been a fan ever since. Re4 is easily my all time fav game. I beat it multiple times a year. Enjoy the ride
I watched a recent Double Toasted review of this. It was good to see three people of color say, "Thanks for thinking of us, but knock it off. It's okay for white characters to remain white. Yes, Leon looks like he belongs in a boy band, but THAT'S LEON! Wesker looks like a Blade cosplayer." They also go on to mention that NO Resident Evil fan (man or woman) cares about teen girls in high school. from now on, this is no longer Resident Evil. It's "The F***ing Jade Show." That's what I'm calling it from now on.
finally double toasted got something right. I stopped watching them. Those rejects usually pander to the woke mob and spaz out on any conservative especially Tucker Carlson.
@@MalcomMalediction I'll admit they're not a great review site. Korey is from my hometown, and I grew up reading his local comic strips. To be fair, nobody should listen to Tucker Carlson. He's a fear-monger and a lying weasel, pushing a corporate agenda. (That's more an attack on mainstream network media, than it is just an attack on FOX.) NBC, CBS, FOX, it's all BS.
@@MalcomMalediction I'm sure my pre-coffee response from this morning makes me look politically biased, but I assure you it has more to do with journalistic integrity. (I feel the same way about Bill Maher, except even liberals know not to take him seriously.) Tucker is hypocritical, he claims to represent the working class but he is a wealthy rich kid who lives in the same high-class neighborhoods he claims to despise. I completely forgot that he used to work for CNN and MSNBC, back when he was more of a "mod con." I honestly do not think he believes half of what he says, and is just playing to the old white crowd. he race-baits, and tosses out questions and opinions in between (sometimes bogus) facts, so folks start to think it's all factual. While he does usually only give opinions, it is still presented as "the news." His debating skills are laughable. He just bombards guests with sometimes un-answerable questions, then calls them liars when they don't want to spout out false figures or statements. But, again, liberal news and opinion shows do the same things in different ways. Scary words and a LOT of repetition. They all cherry-pick to suit their own narrative. I try to read news from multiple sites. yes, sometimes even Al Jazeera. Just to see from another side. Forgive the rant, and I know you didn't ask, but I wanted to back up my claims a bit from earlier. It has nothing to do with my political beliefs, or where he works. It's how he works. and yeah... Double Toasted is usually half an hour of, "Did you like it? I didn't like it!"
I dunno how, I remember seeing the first teaser and thought: finally a good RE. Then recently saw a trailer and was convinced that they were making another film/serie, cos it seemed completely different (and garbage outright). Am I living in a parallel universe or something?
Finished the whole terminal list in like barely two days, great show i loved it. Turned this on afterwards on a bit of a high and only made it like 70 percent through.... i kept waiting for it to get better lol.
I was excited when I saw this show pop up on my Netflix as I like post apo vibes a lot. Then I started watching.... Lets just sum it up it is terrible in every way.
The Buffy reboot we didn't want. From what I saw, a 12 year old girl, living in a tent surrounded by zombies, talked to her simp and child, then it all fell apart. Sunnydale has been replaced by Coon Town... sorry, New Raccoon City... where most white people have been outlawed due to the socio-political doctrines of the early 21st century. Giles has been replaced by a black man who looks exhausted and embarrassed, and all the Slayerettes are based on the cast of the Charmed reboot.

- He is not Wesker.
- No?
- He’s Wesker’s clone!

Don't worry, there's other cloned Wesker variants like a Hispanic, Asian, gay, and even trans. They'll all appear in season 2
Lol - this reminded me of when they first nutted out cloning and of all the things to clone they went for a sheep... which all look the bloody same anyway. They seem to have gone completely the other way here and misunderstood the entire concept of cloning. I believe the results will be similar though, much like this show... Dolly the sheep spent a few short months on life support before dying (they hadn't quite perfected cloning then either).

Zombie stuff needs to be simple. Like Train to Busan, Dawn of the Dead or 28 days later. A RE film where characters like Leon, Chris, and Claire have to investigate a cruise ship or prison full of zombies could be good. Could have umbrella send counter ops like H.U.N.K. to interfere with them in order to destroy any evidence of Umbrella involvement. Simple is usually better.

At this point your average restaurant menu makes for a better script than most of what gets filmed now. Funny, people used to say The Blair Witch project was cheap and poorly written.
Netflix: We're losing millions of subs a day. We're turning things around so we don't lose money and more subs.
Also Netflix: Let's race swap characters and virtue signal the fuck out of this Resident Evil series. It'll bring everyone back!
They won't learn and they'll be consumed by a larger company, then gutted and used for something else.

@@Lonovavir Well technically it *was* cheap and poorly written. It was super low budget and the script was literally just intentionally vague directions for the cast on a bunch of small notes.
Now we can officially say "at least the movies had fun action"
Part of me wonders if bad entertainment is a conspiracy to get us to accept lowered standards so "creators" don't have to work as hard while still getting paid.
@@Lonovavir nah. Because for the purposes of entertainment from a dumb action movie those get the job done. They always have. The difference now is that we can say that this new thing is so much worse that it can't even measure up to the low bar of a dumb fun action movie. That is all
I'm going to be honest, I don't think I've seen any of thr RE films all the way through. Now I'm mildly tempted.
I didn't play the original games much (parents didn't like them), but some of the movies were pretty good. And the animated ones weren't bad either.

Netflix's collapsing sub count is well deserved.
Only 220 Million subs to go after the loss of the near 1.2 Mill between Q1 and Q2
But not enough
They need more
Yeah which is a pity because I love the Witcher series.
Maybe Henry is bowing out of it and returning to Superman
Yea and then the head of netflix dares to state it is losing subsciptions due to "accountsharing". I wouldnt even share netflix with my worst enemy. 😜

@@dcmastermindfirst9418 The Witcher wasn't as bad as this shit but it was still crap. Pointless changes to the story and terrible, political casting just to suit the current climate. It's sad because I liked Cavil as Geralt but then they obviously had to have an Indian Yennefer (who as annoying as fuck), a black Fringilla (who was even more annoying as fuck) and a mixed race Triss because colourblind casting is fashionable and obviously should be celebrated 🤦♂️.
The problem is that they're trying everything to capitalize on this series, except giving people what they want. The f***ing script is already written for them and yet they still screw it up. Now we got this crap, Resident Evil 90210. I give up.

HZD was great. The sequel however…
The opening scene was enough for me, it's the end of the world but she has perfect hair, eyebrows, makeup and clothing and the zombies come for a rabbit but not her even though she is just a few meters away.
Because zombies in a zombie franchise are not a threat.... as they decided they were all blind, deff and smell retarded. To tell.... some symbalwance of a story?
(In the writing teams heads....)
Personally I just started laughing as this thing took itself dead serius. Its parody levels... unintentionally. its like the Cancelled New Warriors, all over again.
I don’t wanna be that guy but before she left the tent in the beginning she did spray herself with something which I’m assuming is repellant? I guess that’s why the zombies didn’t see her until she accidentally cut herself
@@sirjackson321 either way why not study the results from a far away building and use binoculars to observe the results. A smart person would not take those kinds of risks
@@emilioochoa2862 oh yeah I agree! I didn’t understand why her tent was on the ground to begin with. Surely being in an elevated position makes more sense
There's a reason why they do that. It makes continuity easier. If you have dirty marks on a face or clothing then that has to be photographed and replicated between shoots to ensure it doesn't look different.
I got 20 minutes into it and said: "Nah forget it, it won't be fine". The sad thing, it was filmed in my hometown!!!

Could’ve been a trans lesbian I guess

@@DeltaAssaultGaming you mean a straight man? Lol
@@R1ck_Ryder bruh u just confused tf outa me lol
The biggest slap to the face is that it's pretty easy to make a good, faithful RE movie. Small cast, less dialogue, regular action (these are SWAT-tier protags, not superheroes), dread atmosphere (easy since the first 2 games are mostly in claustrophobic-ish areas with a lot of twists and turns).
You'd have to cut out a fair amount of the running-around-solving puzzles-to-open-doors schtick but let's take RE1 f.ex: A movie about Jill Valentine being the main character, that way you get Barry as a supporting character and a good couple of scenes where he helps you or appears to give you ammo to weave some exposition, maybe him tagging along for a while. Scenes like the shotgun rescue would be great drama.
Even better, use the remake. Now you have the Lisa Trevor story you can do, something both horror and tragic. Use the scene where you and barry team up and open the coffin. That scene where she takes her mother's skull and jumps off into the abyss could be so poignant if well done.
Shareholders and producers who see a lucrative IP and use it with a few token references to squeeze out money from fans is one of the worst practices in hollywood. The obsession with maximizing profits at the cost of passion is why many industries suck hard nowadays (videogames especially)
In movie form I think the Lisa Trevor bit would be bloating the story too much. There's plenty of lore already to make a decent movie out of just the first game.
@Heath
The characters getting bit with nothing happening is part of gameplay, not how something like that would actually go down. If the monsters couldn't bite the characters to do damage, or the characters were able to easily avoid confrontation then the game would be boring. That being said, the Outbreak games actually had an infection meter and if you got bitten enough you would die and become a zombie.
Every failed project like this makes me wish I could just go out and make fan films with actual passionate fans. They couldn’t be worse looking than these things from actual companies. But they can be better written at least.
Yep, take a listen to Thor Skywalker, he wrote an alternate Obi Wan that he narrates.
@memphis diplore the story telling can compete
there's an airsoft zombie left for dead fan video out there that's really amazing, I don't remember what it's actually titled.
One of the easiest adaptation to do and Hollywood still keeps fucking it up. Capcom have get people that actually is a fan of series to adapt it, and not some hack writers that want to tell "their" stories that wasn't theirs to began with.
After the absolute borefest of a shit movie that was Monster Hunter (and surprise surprise Milla Jovovich is the main character) which has none of the spirit or soul of the actual Monster Hunter games, i have given up on the hope that Capcom can make a good movie out of any of their franchises.
Capcom just wants a quick and easy paycheck out of adaptations. They could care less about what it does to the brand or if it's even remotely faithful to the games. Next movie is going to be a sitcom with a Licker as the wacky neighbor.
@@dragonandavatarfan8865 now you feel our pain for the so-called "Final Fantasy" movie.

@@ooze1982 That is a terrifying thought.
Eh, i still liked the first two movies, but then it just went stupid.
At least the movies cared about action and pretending to even look like or ape the aesthetic of the games. This just steals a couple names and the logo then pretends it's doing a Resident Evil. CW makes RE is right. It's female empowerment coming of age story with zombies in the background. And the zombies suck. The lickers were ok but it makes up for none of the rest of it.
When drinker said “Snoke clone” I thought he said snow cone. Now I can’t stop thinking about snow cones shaped like Snoke clones.
The promo poster looked like a Spice Girls album cover. That told me all I needed to know about the show.
"Resident Evil made by the CW." That's exactly what it looked like, so no one watched.
Raccoon City gets nuked.
Umbrella (in this garbage continuity): “Naaaah, it’ll be fine.”

No one wanted this show, no one thought that this show was a good idea and absolutely no one who’s even a little interested in Resident Evil will watch this show.
That's the point, they think that non-RE fans will love this shit. They just keep turning everything into woke shit, that only people with serious brain damage will give a damn about.

@@morphineod8785 Not saying there aren't exceptions. I've heard good things about both those shows. But Amazon also made The Rings of Power, and that's shaping up to be the most expensive woke dumpster fire of all time.
Concerning the race swap: Albert Weskers appearance in the game actually has a narrative function. Weskers physique is such an over-the-top representation of the Nazi Übermensch ideal that it's almost comical. But that's the point of his character: him being a tall, square jawed, massively ripped, blond-haired beast signifies the evil, eugenic aspirations of Umbrella.
I love Lance Reddick too, but even he can't save the train wreck of Wesker being turned into a bald fifty year-old who has to put up with his sassy daughters' bull#$%&.
They’re too short sighted to realize the thing they at least say they hate so much, is the villain they’re changing

It's over Chris. I have attained the N-word Pass.
-Wesker
It's simple. Netflix wanted a zombie movie, and then they slapped the Resident Evil name on what shit they had so it has pull.
In the other adapations they even made some effort to make a few references, they didnt here.
And just as i am writing this, the Drinker mentions it. God damnit Bobby.
When I saw the picture of the Wesker daughter, the series was done for me.

@@mattmark94 the games are only canon to me
Not to mention, if the story is set long after the events of the Raccoon City Incident, why is the new Umbrella Corps still working on the Tyrant Virus’ monsters, which should be either perfected/obsolete by that point?
Like, this show apparently teases a copy of RE1’s T-002 Tyrant for Season 2, which was a prototype all the way back in 1998 during the Mansion Incident. And if the general premise of RE5 is alluded to, with the “real” Wesker having been killed in a volcano, shouldn’t the Weskers be focused on agents like the Uroboros Virus, instead of still experimenting with the older T-Virus?

lmao western media won't even wait for the One Piece manga to end first
The problem is that EVERYTHING feels like something else that they've just slapped a franchise name on it. Could you honestly say that The Book of Boba Fett had ANYTHING that felt like it was written specifically for Boba Fett? Can you say that anything in Picard is written specifically to the character of Picard or his Star Trek universe? The new habit seems to be to just write a generic script and then adapt it for whatever franchise needs an instalment.
Biggest problem with book of boba Kathleen Kennedy got her grubby hands on it when Jon had to go do some work for ahsoka, when production for boba was starting to go downhill (reshoots were happening) Jon returned to attempt to fix what she had done threatening to walk if he even heard her name uttered on set, but damage was already done (there's a reason two episodes were dedicated to Mando)
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it might just be a hollywood screenwriter. They write like this because they literally know nothing else.
I'm surprised they didn't keep Wesker white since he's, you know, _ridiculously evil._
I knew this was gonna suck because it's netflix. They can't help themselves. And hearing of black Wesker just confirmed what I already predicted.
But watching the Quarterings video on it and seeing the article basically saying it's Gossip girl with zombies made me underestimate how bad this show must really be.
In all honesty I'd be satisfied with the notorious intro to the first game extended to a whole movie at this point. At least it'll be entertaining.

"It feels like it was something else and they just slapped the RE label on it and hoped for the best" - that sums up so many movies we've seen for years which are allegedly based on established IPs - they had another script but knew it was crap so they slightly modified it to an established IP and that's how we got a movie that was called one thing, but didn't resemble it in the least bit.
And Weskers two daughters are the most ungrateful, deceitful, backstabbing offspring anyone could ever have in their worst nightmare...

Few times have I watched a show, been unable to make it through the first episode and then thought, oh boy the drinker is going to tear this apart.
Based on what I heard of it, someone in the writing team is a pervert who likes Zootopia porn. There is nothing like RE. It's Zombie apocalypse with intersectional zombies this time. I'm tired of this Zombie Apocalypse.
Also apparent there's this drug called Joy that is laced with T-Virus. Also the Wesker we got is a Solid Wesker. There must be a Liquid and and Solidus Wesker.
Wait, They made Head of Umbrella a lesbian too? She's not Spencer, is she? I could give this a pass if they went with Tricell.
Lance Reddick is the best actor and plays best character in Hoorizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West in my opinion. He was terribly underused in the second one.

Forget the radiation, thermonuclear detonations have a unique double pulse that can be picked up on seismographs. A long running method of detecting that 'secret' nuclear detonations have taken place. With enough of them you can even figure out where. .. IN fact the unique double gamma pulse that goes along with it can be detected by sensitive enough equipment from lunatic distances, as long as it is not obscured, as in extra-solar distances.
More believable, though drawing a LOT of attention, would be a thermobaric air/fuel detonation, though the magnitude and skill needed to pull it off WOULD show up in paper trails. Something that size would not be a minor logistical feat.
There is always the old chemical plant wheeze, though the right mix of aluminium oxide dust and other such fun stuff on that scale all over a city.. A Logistical feat, and the subterfuge to carry it out... if would needed to have been something built in place from the very start of Raccoon City. A fake industrial sector, underground storage with surface disbursement, some chemical/element to 'contaminate and quarantine' the area, a long list... I can think of one ... thing that would have the city packed into boxes and buried, it allegedly looks pretty to but YIKES; nosy people would nedd up getting buried along with the rest of the waste during the 'clean up' as they'd not be long for this Earth.
Point being to hide destroying an entire city, you'd need a very good plan and something to keep nosy people from digging around ... Nuking it and saying 'it burned down' is not a thing and seismology can tell the difference between a nuke and a comet detonating like it did over Tunguska as well, it does not have that unique signature.

Hopefully one day, they might be able to create an actually good (and not so bad, its 'good') movie off RE...but I don't see that actually happening anytime soon as it would require actually playing and giving a damn about the games...
I would love to see how the show would address the fact that the Wesker children were a literal eugenics project.
by the logic of modern hollywood, someone needs to buy the rights to Charlie's Angels and make it a Motorcycle movie where Charlie runs the club and his angels are his Bikers and they beat up other bikers
Don’t give them ideas!
I’d buy that for a dollar!
*her angels, because you'd no longer have a man at the forefront/ being the leader. Oh and Xharlie is a trans, black and "latinx" woman so they can check all the boxes with one character
@@davidhughmiller i keep telling people i want an 80's style cop action movie. where the chief is like DAMN IT JOHNSON ONE MORE SCREW UP AND IM GONNA HAVE YOUR BADGE. but its a trans person in a skirt as an action cop shooting everyone. summer blockbuster for the lgbtq (DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY GENDER?! starts shooting the bad guys)
@@Peanut_Buster90 I beg of you people, stop giving them ideas!
I love Black Wesker! I love seeing his eyes with regular glasses! So much wow
I watched about 20 minutes of the first episode... Switched it off as I almost died from cringe and hating every single character.
Anything past 20 minutes of this show and you'd have to be a masochist to continue lol
This show has so little to do with RE it’s insane.
The best equivalent would be if the new Black Panther movie was about Black Panther’s white son starting up a pawn shop in Florida… it has the BP name, but has nothing to do with ANYTHING.
HA! Drinker! I had that sofa in my house, then sold it....i wonder if you bought yours second hand from the PORT of Glasgow! :)
I had a vomiting virus over the weekend so I watched the lot as it sort of set the tone.
I knew little to nothing about Resident Evil beyond some movie details until I played RE8: Village. After I beat it I immediately bought 7, beat it, bought 2 & 3 remake, beat them & basically binged 7 games in 1 month. I fell in love with the RE characters, lore, monsters & so on.
As a recent but HUGE fan I must say I find this to be vomit inducing.
Welcome stranger! I grew up with the ps1 and re1…and have been a fan ever since. Re4 is easily my all time fav game. I beat it multiple times a year. Enjoy the ride
@@raidthanfl I've probably beaten 8 at least 6+ times. 4 was fun the 1st time but I'm waiting for the temake before playing it again.
I've not seen this and I didn't want to but even if I did the words you have just spoke have broken my brain and I will actively avoid it
They completely miscast Albert Wesker
and completely wasted Lance Riddick
*Reddick xD
They miscast sanity itself
They could've cast Lance Riddick as the CEO of Umbrella, his character would've been perfe t
R.I.P. Lance Reddick.
I watched a recent Double Toasted review of this. It was good to see three people of color say, "Thanks for thinking of us, but knock it off. It's okay for white characters to remain white. Yes, Leon looks like he belongs in a boy band, but THAT'S LEON! Wesker looks like a Blade cosplayer." They also go on to mention that NO Resident Evil fan (man or woman) cares about teen girls in high school.
from now on, this is no longer Resident Evil. It's "The F***ing Jade Show." That's what I'm calling it from now on.
finally double toasted got something right. I stopped watching them. Those rejects usually pander to the woke mob and spaz out on any conservative especially Tucker Carlson.
@@MalcomMalediction I'll admit they're not a great review site. Korey is from my hometown, and I grew up reading his local comic strips.
To be fair, nobody should listen to Tucker Carlson. He's a fear-monger and a lying weasel, pushing a corporate agenda. (That's more an attack on mainstream network media, than it is just an attack on FOX.) NBC, CBS, FOX, it's all BS.
@@MalcomMalediction I'm sure my pre-coffee response from this morning makes me look politically biased, but I assure you it has more to do with journalistic integrity. (I feel the same way about Bill Maher, except even liberals know not to take him seriously.) Tucker is hypocritical, he claims to represent the working class but he is a wealthy rich kid who lives in the same high-class neighborhoods he claims to despise. I completely forgot that he used to work for CNN and MSNBC, back when he was more of a "mod con." I honestly do not think he believes half of what he says, and is just playing to the old white crowd. he race-baits, and tosses out questions and opinions in between (sometimes bogus) facts, so folks start to think it's all factual. While he does usually only give opinions, it is still presented as "the news." His debating skills are laughable. He just bombards guests with sometimes un-answerable questions, then calls them liars when they don't want to spout out false figures or statements.
But, again, liberal news and opinion shows do the same things in different ways. Scary words and a LOT of repetition. They all cherry-pick to suit their own narrative. I try to read news from multiple sites. yes, sometimes even Al Jazeera. Just to see from another side.
Forgive the rant, and I know you didn't ask, but I wanted to back up my claims a bit from earlier. It has nothing to do with my political beliefs, or where he works. It's how he works.
and yeah... Double Toasted is usually half an hour of, "Did you like it? I didn't like it!"
Yo 1st 30 mins Drinkers morning take with my coffee ☕
I dunno how, I remember seeing the first teaser and thought: finally a good RE. Then recently saw a trailer and was convinced that they were making another film/serie, cos it seemed completely different (and garbage outright).
Am I living in a parallel universe or something?
Finished the whole terminal list in like barely two days, great show i loved it. Turned this on afterwards on a bit of a high and only made it like 70 percent through.... i kept waiting for it to get better lol.
That’s the thing. I kept waiting for it to get better and before I knew it was the end. And it never got better. It in fact got dumber.
I was excited when I saw this show pop up on my Netflix as I like post apo vibes a lot. Then I started watching.... Lets just sum it up it is terrible in every way.
There was the germ of a good idea in there and they smothered it with so much crap you could plant a whole vineyard on top of it.
The Buffy reboot we didn't want. From what I saw, a 12 year old girl, living in a tent surrounded by zombies, talked to her simp and child, then it all fell apart. Sunnydale has been replaced by Coon Town... sorry, New Raccoon City... where most white people have been outlawed due to the socio-political doctrines of the early 21st century. Giles has been replaced by a black man who looks exhausted and embarrassed, and all the Slayerettes are based on the cast of the Charmed reboot.
Could be worse. They could reboot Firefly.......oh God !!!
@@Valen-xu2wy shit! Why did you say that!? Don't jinx!
Netflix’s Black 🪨 Resident Evil 😈 where Netflix replace White People with Black 🪨 People and call it Netflix’s Black 🪨 Resident Evil 😈 ! Eww… 🤮 ! Netflix decided to misappropriate Resident Evil 😈 and replace White People with Black 🪨 People and call 📞 it Netflix’s Black 🪨 Resident Evil 😈 ! Eww… 🤮…
I just finished episode 5 and i really can feel the pain.... I cant go any further.
I look forward to this woke crap just so these guys can tear it a new one!
If 10 years ago you told me that a Halo show, LOTR show, and Obi-Wan Kenobi show would happen in the same year, I would have been beyond excited. Now I am only underwhelmed and angry. What a time to be alive.
Copied comment you think someone wouldn’t notice huh
Apparently if the show gets a second season they will add Lady D to the show. You can just feel the desperation
For real?
She’ll be black though. GUARANTEED.
@@DarcsenHero ign put out a post saying that
@@thatperformer3879 yeah she won't be anything like she is in game
Oh wow. Drinker, Mauler, and itsagundam all at once.
It's a holy trinity of RUclips reviewers.
