I am watching the series today, just started 2.
All they do is steal a few names from the game and that's about it.

Like I obviously know they use the license for name recognition, but I really wish they would've just made their own series so we could have interpretations actually connected to the games.

There is a few nods, but yeah, it's an action series, not a survival horror inspired series.

I know what it is, but just seeing in a real life setting just shows how ridiculous it is to wear.

I'd legitimately state the the first Resident Evil is one of the best videogame movies ever made. It took the source material, adapted it in such a way that it was faithful to the overall tone of the franchise while not retreading plot points, and made it entertaining. I could've legitimately seen that movie as a side event that happened in the area around Raccoon City alongside the other events of the game series itself.

Went downhill like hell from there, though. Somehow took too much from the games while shitting itself in their own way.

the actress who played jill researched the character a lot
she played the games and even learned to copy the way jill walked
to bad the movies ruined the character

also in the game jill was just wearing her casual clothes when the outbreak started so she couldnt put on anything more practical

though it is weird that her casual clothes are not much different then a 90s prostitute
but i dont judge, what she does in her spare time is her business

They say they're going to "use him for the Nemesis program."

I imagine they did further experimentation, it wasn't just the licker.

Tentacles were coming out of the wound when he was on the stretcher. It looks like he was well on the way. They just put the cybernetics in probably

They used the IP to attempt to get more money from the first one, and then since the first one did okay and was based on RE, they used it for the sequels

That was the thing that made me quit watching them. "This woman is utterly devoted to wiping Umbrella out. She will do everything in her power to kill personnel, destroy laboratories, and eradicate our work. Let's give her increasingly powerful superpowers."

Just finished the third one, Extinction.

I am mad at anybody who saw these movies when they came out which resulting in more being made.

Like I don't even know what Umbrella is doing, I mean they say they are trying to find a cure for the virus, but if that is the case, why are they wasting so much time and resources cloning Alice over and over again only to kill her in a combat simulator? And if they are trying to find a cure, why is Alice so dead set on killing all of them?

I literally have no idea what Umbrella is doing. Like I get why they were the bad guys in the first movie, but now I don't know why they are there.

The names and outfits are really the only things they took from the games, but I will say most of the outfits look pretty much exactly like the games.

I like when movies just use the game as a base and build off it instead of trying to be too much like the game. Im a fan of all the movies. Obviously some more than others. But if you watch movies for fun and not to critique them they are quite entertaining.
