Man travels to louisiana to rescue long lost wife without telling anybody or bringing any kind of self defense or backup, enters an obviously fucked up house, gets abused by said wife who told him he never should have come, and continues chasing after her until he gets killed by Jack. He then is regrown into a molded and what follows is a B-movie revenge story as he walks around THEIR house, killing them off 1 by 1 without a lick of fear, doing crazy antics like ramming the dad with a car or getting into a chainsaw duel with him, spraying the mom with a flamethrower, chasing her around a greenhouse, and scaring poor Lucas out of the game. Then he stabs a little girl with a vial and guns her down, completing his murder-revenge story as he has come back from the grave to finish them off.

Sounds like a prototypical late 70s/early 80s Grindhouse movie to me like Dead Heat, and I think that was the intention.

Is Ethan being a zombie the explanation for why he has no personality?

Even though I really enjoy about the first half of RE7, I couldn't bring myself to even slightly care about the story or anyone in it the entire time. Ethan is such a dull ass character in a series with generally very likeable protagonists

Yeah Resident Evil being campy nonsense has been there since the first game. Even the plot twist there is nonsensical if you give it any critical thought.

At least this molded twist explains why Ethan could survive his leg being cut off and easily re-attached in RE7 so it's not completely out of nowhere. Although I don't really know why this context really changes anything about him.
What's silly about Wesker posing in his lab coat with his signature sunglasses on? Do you not find something believable about a valuable research scientist out of the blue heading a tactical police force in his spare time so he can field test his experiments?

REmake 1 normal enemies would be fodder but Lisa is still invincible even to RL (Umbrella even tried that on her themselves) Tyrant would be a joke though.

I don't know how the revelation that ethan is a molded is even a revelation.

it was a popular theory as soon as resident evil 7 was released. he attached a leg and hand in that game.

and no, he cannot regenerate body parts.

No the revelation is that he was dead for all of 7. Most believed he was just infected

Havent played 8 YET, but considering Nemisis; nothing should be surprising at this point.

And after 5? Just.. get over it the worlds evolved and so has the game.

Yeah, this is a perfect example of these games are not Resident Evil. Capcom only made them part of the series for brand recognition.

Not really. If that's the case then neither is RE5 since it went off the rails with the dumbass Oroborous nonsense. I like the idea of them adding new types of virus out to allow new bioweapon types. Keeps it fresh. Plus how Miranda tied into Umbrella was one of the best "oh wow" moments I've had with the series.

if it's not zombies, it's mutated bioweapons, parasite infected beings, sentient, humanoid mold monsters, and so on.

Actually sort of. The mold is the precursor to spencer finding the progenitor and creating umbrella.

Theres a note during Chris's segment from Ozwell Spencer. He thanks Miranda for showing him what the mold is and tells her that what he learned from it led him to produce the progenitor, the first virus and the one in 5. He creates an organization to research and calls it umbrella

I would rather have that than a remake of 4 honestly

granted I haven't played either of them but I'm pretty sure 4 has aged better gameplay wise
