They could've just set the whole thing in the Resident Evil world; just have it as one of Umbrella's subsidiaries with some links to Umbrella Europe and USA/Racoon City (e.g. shipping supplies, research).

Instead? "lolnope here's a woke abomination of your franchise".

They could have, I'm just saying the thing they seemed to maybe actually want to create was interesting in its own right, and trying to so obviously crowbar resident evil into their original concept only hurts the concept.

Someone with two daughters who might not really be his daughters could be interesting. Trying to crow bar Wesker into that character doesn't work at all.

An evil ultra modern Californian style company could be interesting. That is not however Umbrella. Umbrella clearly has different, old east coast roots.

Which I guess adds to the general rootlessness of the thing. Its sets in South Africa, but that setting doesn't matter. The Zombie story line is in England and France, but that doesn't really matter either. Location doesn't matter.

Resident evil as a franchise has a lot of history, and even from the beginning with the mansion really suggests and points to a long historical connection of some sort, even if its not really there. They don't draw from any of that.

So, the show is extremely painfully current year with covid reference and such, but nothing in the show has a sense of being anywhere. Its current year, and no where.

ANOTHER ONE!

That's right, another reboot... or adaption of Resident Evil for the big screen is now in the works!

This time Zach Cregger, the director of the horror film hit Barbarian that came out back in 2022, will helm this project.

Damn, you made me think of the resident evil tv show, and more importantly the better show I wrote in my head, for the first time in years. I must say, that was a damn fine show (the one I wrote in my head, what I remember of the actual show is still trash).

Any sign one way or another if this next one is also "some other unrelated zombie show slapped with resident evil for brand recognition" or might this actually be a resident evil movie that's finally actually written and conceived as a resident evil movie from the start?

Hopefully the later; I’m sick of the former.
