New Resident Evil trailer divides fans over faithfulness
Playing through Resident Evil Revelations 2 for the first time and it's such a blatant Last Of Us clone that it's honestly kinda funny
Lady Emily ☄️72People are bringing up the sad dad and young girl stuff, but for me what’s more blatant is crafting defensive weapons and bandages in real time via random scraps, throwing glass bottles and bricks to distract enemies, stealth kills, listening mode is straight up just here??
SUEDE (NOT THE BAND)9I wonder if one of the characters will tell another one to sit on a dildo
Veronica - 💎Ruby Weapon💎7It’s the only RE I haven’t played and now I’m curious
Barns6Rev 2 is very much a Sad Dad game but I also think it's one of the best Resident Evils.
the5lacker.bsky.social2I can't think of the overlap between these two without this tweet flashing in my brain.
truly crazy to me that the zach cregger resident evil movie of all things has some kind of overblown nerd rage controversy because it doesn't star a character from the games when RE is a series literally known for changing protagonists from game to game
Angel8it's crazy too because we just had a resident evil movie that directly adapted one of the games and it fucking sucked
Norman3“Story told through the POV of a completely new person while RE2 was going on” was the premise of RE: Outbreak and I am here for it
Andy Mayer3Mario fans: Can we please get a Mario movie with an actual story instead of just nonstop references like they're jingling keys in our faces? Resident Evil fans: You mean you don't want nonstop jingling keys?! That's practically how I get up in the morning!
Hog of the Future2Was Alice in any of the games?
Mx. Suplex2It's weird when we literally already had a movie series where the protag was some new made-up character. Like don't get me wrong, I love Leon, Jill, and the others but the RE universe can offer so many stories. It's fine if we're not following them.
"I kinda wish it looked like Resident Evil." "You idiot. You child. Fool that you are you believe adapting the material for an adaptation is a possibility. Selfish and small are you to dare demand a resemblance to the franchise. You disgust me, petulant child."
Dylan Macri, Cadhla182, Commissions Open17This isn't taking a hard stance for a new thing or a direct adaptation I've just noticed a lot of people talking like MCU fans do towards comics fans and I don't think RE movies have earned that kind of influence.
TheBeav4"If you want something that looks like Resident Evil play the games."
JOrion4Resident evil has to be 1: corny campy and otherwise oozing with drama 2: fucking terrifying and gross 3: little gay (repressed) 4: gun
Bowlerhatnerd3Side note, I love it when people use variations of "petulant child" in their insult monologs
🏳️⚧️ Brisket Enjoyer 🏳️⚧️3Legitimately, as a gigantic fan of RE? The new movie looks peak. The director/writer admits he's a huge fan of the games and talks like that is true, he's directed Barbarian and Weapons for christ sake, and that trailer? Oh my god it looks like an amazing horror movie. It will be fun if not scary.
Killian Scribbles2I’ve seen someone suggest the idea that it’s a random guy who happened to be in Raccon City, and if the movie ends with the character becoming a zombie that Leon or Claire shows up and shoots, or watches the nuke go off, that would be one hell of a way to do it.
I'm interested to see Cregger's thing because he makes good movies. I'm not sure what people want out of ANY "Resident Evil" movie because RE's whole thing is mainly "horror movie setting/happenings caused by videogamey nonsense that gets discovered/spills out" and doing that AS a movie...
Bob Chipman ("MovieBob")18...eventually feels like self-parody. Anderson's solution was essentially "skip ahead to the videogamey nonsense" and IMO that worked about as well as it possibly could. 'Welcome to Raccoon City' was the game-faithful version everyone SAID they wanted and (surprise!) it was awful 🤷♂️
Mei, lvl. 38 Warlock of the Expensive Paper4For me, his work on Barbarian and Weapons makes me think he can adapt the weirdness of the RE games. Like, the brief shot of the pale man in the trailer is bizarre. It doesn't look immediately threatening but it's also just weird in the way that his prior movies were able to really thrive on.
Michael2Has there ever been a movie that just did the plot of the first game? I’ve always felt like “Zombie movie set in an isolated mansion” was interesting enough by itself, and the first Anderson one only really alluded to it.
