@OneWholeRhubarb @hazardman89 "Inspiration" so do a complete new thing and don't use absolutely nothing from the games? Make a outbreak in another city and another context why it's so hard to do that?

@mementoomor1 @hazardman89 "Respect to the continuity"? It's a story. None of this really happened. An adaptation is supposed to use the original as inspiration, not treat it as a historical record that needs to be obeyed It's bad enough that the new games keep referencing the old ones

Things Resident Evil's Zack Cregger is wrong about/doesn't know: >RE3 starts before RE2 >RE2 is NOT Day 0 >He doesn't know how long after RE2 the city is destroyed >He says it was nuked He actually says he can't be bothered to know cuz it's not in the movie This is a larp, bro

@Kalyx_triaD @hazardman89 Yeah man like all adaptations are a long cutscene of something, insane way of thinking

@mementoomor1 @hazardman89 It doesn't have to respect continuity, it's not in-universe. He's not making one long cutscene for a Capcom title.

@DarkwingDust69 @hazardman89 They do...

@mementoomor1 @hazardman89 brother the games themselves don't respect their own continuity

@hazardman89 Like i'm completely fine with him telling a original story with a new character but if you're making your story in a classic location from the games the fans will ask for at least fidelity with the world building

@mementoomor1 They say people are mad because they only want to see the shit they recognize from the games But we can see them glazing the crumbs that are the superficial Easter eggs This guy is more interested in the design of a planter than the world he's adapting And this is a good thing

casting an american as constantine should get you fired out of a cannon

@JakeShort @RealTruggler As i have already said it, liked the trailer, the movie will probably be good (i Hope), has a lot of the Resident Evil spirit, but that's just not the Raccoon City outbreak doesn't matter how much Cregger or his fans want, it is what it is

@mementoomor1 @RealTruggler Not a great read. I just think you don't understand how pathetic you look pouting and stomping your feet saying there are 0 connections when there are legit dozens. Whatever though, like I said, maybe you'll get over it. If not, hey, at least one of us is having a good time.

@JakeShort @RealTruggler You offending me will not make you more or less right

@JakeShort @RealTruggler Yeah, this is will not gonna go anywhere, you think that getting the structure right is enough for something being faithful, i think that respect to the world building and iconography is important too you disagree but that's it

@JakeShort @RealTruggler I'm already over, it will be cool see this headcanon fanfic version of RE2 events from Cregger sure It will be a great Movie, but that's not Raccoon City outbreak, i at least hope that people don't take this alternate reality with 0 connections to the games as the true RE

@mementoomor1 @RealTruggler Man, that you're so hard up on the year and weather being exactly correct is a hell of your own making. Whatever, though. I'm pretty happy with what it looks like we're getting, maybe you can get over it at some point.

@JakeShort @RealTruggler Would be cool then to set the movie on Alaska then a lot of snow there, giving this new one story a new outbreak and still be RE Universe

@mementoomor1 @RealTruggler The entire movie is taking place at night. There are a lot of exterior shots. The snow is a practical and aesthetic solution for giving visual depth and lighting to every outdoor scene. Boosts the brightness and makes color, like red blood, visually pop.

@JakeShort @RealTruggler Yeah we finally getting the Resident Evil Christmas Special i knew it

@mementoomor1 @RealTruggler The majority of the complainers are saying that, though. Whether you want to accept it or not, the year the movie is set in is a pretty minor in regards to the "fidelity" of the setting and narrative. And I'm telling you now, you do in fact want the snow to be there.

@JakeShort @RealTruggler Look i've never said that, the DNA is there i saw Cregger's interview with IGN and he is pretty much on point, now asking for fidelity in terms of setting it's not absurd and would evict a lot of controversy

@mementoomor1 @RealTruggler Most reasonable thing you've said. I get that. I definitely feel like the trailer captures that vibe. The vocal minority that feel the same way as you would get a lot less hostility if you all realized that not seeing the RE DNA in the trailer doesn't mean it isn't there.

@JakeShort @RealTruggler I'm gonna be real with you man, besides what I've already explained, I just really wanted to feel like I was seeing a story in the RE universe, that had some iconography, and that's it

@mementoomor1 @RealTruggler If it's reasonable, absolutely. You wanna know why the game was set in 98? It's cause that's when it came out. There was not writers intent behind choosing that year. The date has no impact on the narrative at all. Do you know why there's snow?

@JakeShort @RealTruggler Liked the trailer, liked that is a new story but it's ABSURD to ask a little fidelity for the setting, unbelievable

@mementoomor1 @RealTruggler Wait you're genuinely sticking with that answer, you were satisfied with that response? Sorry bud, not engaging with you on this if you're this unserious. Get better criticism and we can talk, otherwise don't be shocked people treat you like you're being absurd.

@JakeShort @RealTruggler I already said now say to me why it needs to be Raccoon City and not any other city?

@mementoomor1 @RealTruggler Again, express to me how the year not being 98' and there being snow somehow gets in the way of this being the Raccoon City outbreak. When you played those games, are you telling me that those two factors were critical to your experience?

@JakeShort @RealTruggler So why adapt the Raccoon City incident at all? If the point is "whatever the world building" because apparently world building in adaptations is silly?

@mementoomor1 @RealTruggler Bud, I'm not trying to go for your throat, but you need to have valid criticism and I cannot stress enough "They aren't setting it in 1998" is not valid criticism. It just makes you look silly. Being upset at snow, when there's a damn good reason for it, is silly.

@JakeShort @RealTruggler Ok

@mementoomor1 @RealTruggler No, it would help you. You're getting bent out of shape about silly shit and letting the vocal minority wind you up more, enough that you can't see how little the "date" of the setting matters.

@JakeShort @RealTruggler Ok man, i'm trying to have a normal dialogue but you need to offend other people for the sake of it, but look if they wanted to really tell this original story they evict associations with well established things from the canon

@mementoomor1 @RealTruggler Dishonest and desperate reply. You could say it being modernized would do the exact same. Fear of infection and illness, fear of misinformation, distrust and anger at the US healthcare. 98', 04', 18', 26', whenever the fuck, it doesn't really impact anything.

@thattugglife Could he pay homage to the games with a new story but respect the world building? Like, i'm into the new story and new character but can they be at least faithful with the setting?

The irony is this: People: “can we stop with the sequels and remakes and live action adaptations that just rehash the same plot? Come up with something new!” Zach Cregger: “here is an original story that is set in the world of this super popular video game series that pays homage to the games”. Those same people: “oh my god why didn’t they just take RE, make it live action, and rehash the same plot???”
