Lets fucking go, give me that link Draggy, can't wait to tear this one apart, I read the script and I still have laughmares about it to this day, if its somehow even worse than that script I might injure my face from craughing.

interested rubbing hands GIF


The leaked script had a line about "zootopia porn", a zombie with a penis on its face and a giant zambie catapillar people, this is not a drill, sound the 'tard siren at max volume.

We ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space
Looks fucking terrible.

How hard can it be to adapt RE properly?

Lance? Okay... Is he confirmed Wesker? I kinda just assumed from the trailer it was a brand new set of characters in a resident evil theme world. XD

Who are all the ladies playing as? Chris? Leon? Jill? Claire? Shiva? Barry? :p
Yeah, he was confirmed awhile back. No clue, maybe they're all Brad.

Brad #1, Brad #2, Brad #3, etc.

This is clearly a Resident Evil retelling or reboot. It may as well just be something else entirely, but the name will give it more leverage, lmao. Seeing stuff like this is so silly to me.

So. Umbrella was responsible for the Racoon City zombie outbreak and subsequent destruction. Yet somehow returns, makes New Raccoon City, and everyone is "fuck yeah! Sounds great! Let's live there!"!

Or is this a some dumb shit reboot and we're just removing those problematic white dudes.
 
removing those problematic white dudes.
Which makes Lance Reddick's casting the more confusing.

From the games... Albert Wesker is like the very definition of "problematic white guy." He's the villain of the series. In subtle ways his whiteness is very much part of his villainy. So you'd think you'd want a white actor to portray Wesker.

Unless Reddick's character is somehow a Wesker clone made in a lab and he's supposed to be a "good" Wesker... or something.

A reboot where the only main male character is a antagonist responsible for the downfall of the city, lmao. DAMN MEN ALWAYS RUINING EVERYTHING!

Why is this called Resident Evil other than the fact there are zombies?

If you're not going to stick even remotely close to the source material just call it something else for goodness sakes....

If they want diversity, they could have just made a live action of RE Outbreak. It would have been more believable. It would have fit into any kind of shift in story they want too.

Instead they're using classic RE characters and butchering them or worse making them second fiddle in their own series.

Because money, unfortunately. They assume that more people will tune in because of the Resident Evil name alone. Well, and, yeah, they're right.

Because if they swapped out everything RE related and gave it an original name, not nearly as many people would bother giving it a chance.

teaser looks better than the entire resident evil welcome to racoon city movie combined
Looks better than the recent PoS movie.
While I can't speak on behalf of that film as I haven't seen it, at least there were a ton of things in the trailers that you recognized from RE 1/2. So it felt more RE than this IMO.

This series is just, "What if the Resident Evil we knew didn't exist, and this is how it would be as a brand new story."

Something aesthetically looking similar to its source isn't indicative of quality. Trust me, that movie was shite, I spent hard cash to see it in the cinema.

Oh of course, I'm just speaking on surface level. I think it was easy to justify the quality of the previous film from those trailers as well, haha. I believe you, I was actually pretty surprised that there were quite a few people that also enjoyed it. But that's how that all works.

While curious, I still don't think I can bring myself to watching it, unless maybe it's free and I have time to burn, lol.

I'm in it for Reddick.

If nothing else, this will easily be the best ACTED live action RE content we've had so far.

If this show is any good it will have nothing to do with Resident Evil, because the show has nothing to do with Resident Evil.

Looks as bad as those shitty movies. I don't get it. You have an interactive storyboard to make a movie and they always want to try something different. Just make the first game!
