But it seems like the big hurdle to Cregger wading back into IP waters is his frustration over the fact that "all the conversation [around Resident Evil] just felt like it was about not the movie".https://puck.news/podcasts/the-town/zach-cregger-on-comedy-and-horror-swearing-off-ip-pitching-j-law-and-handling-hollywood-power>"I was frustrated at the conversation around Resident Evil and how much of the conversation really didn't have anything to do with the movie,">"It had everything to do with whether the movie was living up to the different standards that different fans of the games had, whether it was using the characters or not, or what did I get wrong in the lore, or why is it? It was just a lot about why isn't this like the source material or why is it good that it's not like the… All the conversation just felt like it was about not the movie.">Despite these frustrations, Cregger acknowledges that he's "proud" of Resident Evil, as it's exactly the movie he set out to make. >"I really love the movie," Cregger said. "I should have known better going into it. I should have understood that that was going to be the case, but for some reason I was a little shocked.">The discourse around the Resident Evil movie was particularly heated, perhaps because fans have had to endure two decades of Resident Evil movies in name only. The difference with Cregger is that he knows the Resident Evil games inside out, and delivered a movie that adapted the feel of the games rather than specific characters and elements of the lore.
>>750642543>nooo don't make me do my jobWhy are they all like this?
>>750642543>make movie adaptation of a pre-existing story>complain that fans keep comparing your adaptation to the pre-existing storyWhy are ''''creatives''' like this?
>>750642543why adapt something if you're just going ignore everything that makes people like it? for the brand recognition? you're basically just admitting that your idea couldn't stand on its own
What an insufferable cretin
>>750642543Why did he lie about being a fan of the games? That would have solved all his problems if he just didn't lie...?
>>750642543>living up to the different standards that different fans of the games hadlogical progression of the virus and a tone that isn't "wacky comedy where every character is retarded" are not exactly the highest bars to reach.
He should make a Battletech movie, get all the uncs hot and bothered.
>>750642740It’s not a pre-existing story, it’s a separate story in a pre-existing setting.>>750642825Honestly there’s no winning with fans, what Cregger did is probably the best option. >make a 1:1 adaptationPeople bitch because it’s nothing new, and games are visually appealing enough that a live-action version doesn’t look much more impressive than a game does >make a new storyPeople bitch because it’s not a retread of the game>take some liberties in the storytellingPeople bitch because it’s not a retread of the gameEdgerunners and the RE movie are the template
>>750642825You get audience engagement without doing much of the work for it.
>>750642543DON'T CALL IT RESIDENT EVIL, THENYOU FRUIT
>>750642825I mean, it wasn't even a Resident Evil movie at first and only got rewritten as one at the last second, so yeah it was basically for brand recognition. The script even mentions half the references they make were just mindless "I RECOGNIZE THAT REFERENCE" clapbait.
>>750643025The said pre-existing setting doesn't exist in quite literally anything "pre-existing">"Uhhh, they said Raccon City TWICE"Doesn't matter, never snowed in Raccon City.
>>750642543Notice how all discussion for this slop died quick? The shill campaign was pathetic.
Maybe don't rile up the argument on social media with your epic owning the gamers tweets if you dont want that to be the primary conversation about your media?Just a suggestion...
he makes only horror slop now instead of his previous comedy work and now he thinks he is some auteur LMAO
>>750642543Then why call it Resident Evil?
he's right. fuck gamers
>>750643343Because Sony had the rights to make one, and Capcom didn't care to even help at all.
The movie was fine. It felt like an unrelated side story of something that could have been going on during the early games. I can see being a diehard RE fan and hating it as well though. On the other hand I don't think any live action adaptation of Resident Evil is ever going to fly. The stories, scenarios, and characters are cheesy anime schlock. It works as an animated film or video game, but in live action it's just never going to fit. No matter who they cast for any of the characters it would cause tons of outrage.
>>750642543I just hate how "jokey" it is. I don't care about new monsters or new zombie rules or whatever, it just couldn't take itself seriously for 5 goddamn minutes. He shoots a child in the face and then in the next few beats, he comments about it like it's a punchline.
Is there any populace more raped than /v/?
he sounds like he's being polite. loads of gamers are entitled cattle, they should be publicly scorned more often.
>>750642947He can be a fan of the remakes and apparently 7 onwards. The problem is the movie plays out like you're watching someone else watch the cutsceens from 8 with the weather from 8 in the setting of 2make.
>>750642543>Make shitty movie>Slap IP name on it so people will watch it>They complain its nothing like the IPWtf, why is this happening??Same shit with the alien series, its some shitty android drama with added xenomorphs to make people watch it
>>750643631I payed money to see his shitty movie day one and know I got ripped off the moment the zombies started running (8 minutes in)
The right guy died
>>750643342His horror movies spend most of their time on humor, even if the jokes don't really land.
>>750643553I was able to get behind the main character, thought he towed the line between taking it seriously and cracking jokes well enough for the tone of the film, but the Umbrella guys (both the one in the car and the ones at the lab) were too much for me. They felt like they were acting in a Nickelodeon show, the entire last act was impossible to get invested in.
>>750643553He's not making a joke about the child that was turning into a creature he was talking to himself "that didn't happen, I like kids" so he doesn't have a nervous breakdown over what he had to do in order to survive.
>>750642543When will these hacks learn that people expect movies to be faithful to the source material, not whatever their "vision" is? If you want to make an original movie, then don't fucking latch onto a established IP.
>>750642543>The difference with Cregger is that he knows the Resident Evil games inside out, and delivered a movie that adapted the feel of the games rather than specific characters and elements of the lore.No he didn't.
>>750643954>OH MY CAPCOM I NEED MY CHRIS AND WESKER ANGRY GAY SEX
>>750642543Why do autists demand everything be just infinite copies of itself for eternity? You screeching retards DO realize that if you applied the SAME logic to the games as you do to the movie, you'd never have had a Resident Evil 2 that wasn't just the Spencer mansion again, and if you want to take the logic even further you'd never have had a Resident Evil 1? At some point in time, you were willing to accept something you had never seen before and enjoy it, but your autism has crystallized and now you shriek in fear whenever you see anything that dares to not be an exact copy of what you already know. You just despise attempts at originality. You have no idea what an adaptation can be. I'd hate to see your nuclear level meltdown trying to reconcile the Naked Lunch film with the Naked Lunch book, for example. If you have this kind of autism where you think "lore" is important please fuck off when the rest of us who have souls are discussing art. THAT BEING SAID, I did NOT see the movie and maybe it's a pile of shit! But you should try to be less autistic and more open-minded and I guarantee you'll be less miserable.
>>750644016yesrocks too
>>750642543Too much joss whedon comedyThe ending sucked
>>750643025This isn't true, and that's why the original resident movies, even tho they're understood to be bad, are still better than this pile of shit.Which is a sad thing to say, but people will not remember this movie as 'the resident evil movie' because at least the originals had jovovich in it. It's not a matter of winning the audience at all either, fallout did a pretty good job with their series because all they did was 'keep the world, tell a different story', which has nothing to do with what happened here and why everyone is shitting on it. You don't gain anything by creating a new random no-sense story that doesn't even tie in with the original IP, what do you think happens here? Do you think people that like the games wanted to see this movie, after all that was shown from it was just awkward and boring and obviously was just another cash grab?And do you think, in turn, people that might not know the games, would see this and want 'more of it' and turn to the games for it?Look at the fallout games' popularity when the show released; this was a success.This thing? Is not.
Seems audiences agree with the new direction.Horror is in, girlboss is out
>>7506428251 (OG) > 7 > the restHis movie is good. Don't try speaking for everyone, faggot.
He is unironically right. Some of you aren't what he means but most are.If you gave the average RE fan reins to film it would be absolute career ending unwatchable slop just because "well the games respect the LORE muh anime" like stuff that not even the slop re films would do just for "le lore and has to be the same""gamers" and those that are mainly "gamers" only are completely cattle that whines just to whine.
Zach Cregger? More like Zach Beggar.
>>750643840It's a comedy beat for the audience. I don't care how you sugar coat it.
>>750644092The original movies fucking suck. You must have fallen on your head several times as a kid if you genuinely think they're better than anything.
>>750643835Definitely. I didn't appreciate the overall attitude but yes, the lab techs and the fat guy in the car just soured my entire mood. The main character was tolerable in comparison.
>>750644507I think you're autistic and you don't realize how popular they are/were, why do you think they made 6 of them? Do you know how many movie franchises get 6 movies made for them?Do you think jovovich financed them or something? I do not care for your own retarded opinion, it's irrelevant here, the numbers speak for themselves.
>>750644492Well it's not but whatever your mind is made up.
>>750644483Keep samefagging
>>750642543It was basically just a Zach Cregger movie with slight RE flavoring. And honestly it's the best way to go about it. The last movie before this was straight fucking cancer and besides that you have the "director's wife self insert" series where the characters from the games are just there to help her look cooler. They're not going to stop making movies about it so they might as well go full retard and do whatever instead of raping the characters for an 8th time.
>>750642543Why make a Resident Evil movie when the only things that are RE is name dropping the city and going to a lab? Remove any scene that mentions racoon city and there's objectively nothing about the movie that tells you it's a resident evil movie.I liked the first half an hour, up until he kills the 2 people and then it becomes generic horror movie that doesn't take itself seriously with bad acting.
>>750644679It absolutely is. Are you stupid? Quips like that are meant to lighten the audience's mood. It doesn't matter if it's supposed to be "in-character" it's for the audience' sake that he even says it.
>>750644623Oh, I realize how popular they were. Popularity just doesn't make something good, you tasteless dumbfuck sheep.
>>750642543First 45 minutes are actually good then it rapidly goes downhill after he gets bit by the monster girl just because you know how it'll end.>>750643416Crapcum was hands on for Street Fighter and it's complete trash. They really shouldn't try to be a movie studio.
>>750644190>75m budget to get a 320m$ box office>40m to get 312m$yeah... about that..
>>750642825>for the brand recognitionBasically yesHe used the IP as a springboard for his own crappy horror/comedy slop. He was already outed as someone with zero experience with/respect for the games, so the fans not buying into his mastubatory ego trip shouldn't surprise him. But he's a natural born entitled fart sniffer so of course it does.
>>750644839Oh god you are autistic, and you're retarded too, but glad we could come up with this understanding together!
>>750644748What? Anyways keep crying. I know for a fact a "lore accurate" RE would be so shit. You guys just want a marvel capeslop tier show but for RE.>What do you mean people have to play this and that and that just to get it? It respects the lore!!!!!!!
>>750644623You realize the Zach Creggar RE has made more than any of the original movies right?
>>750644896Bleat harder.
>>750644919can you show me the numbers?because google doesn't agree with you, so I'm not sure where you got yours from, but maybe that's you zach and you got insider information?
>>750644190312M at the time of release adjusted for inflation is 428M.
>>750642543zach cregger seems like a cry baby bitch
>>750644792>Quips like that are meant to lighten the audience's mood.Honestly, with an indoctrinated attitude like this, you people deserve to have the mediocrity of modern media forever. You deserve absolutely nothing memorable that stands the test of time, you deserve more disposable fast food like this film rammed down your gullets before it gets deleted from your memory until the next NPC update.
>>750644987https://twistedvoxel.com/resident-evil-box-office-zach-cregger-record/
>>750644623>why do you think they made 6 of them?Because they're contractually obligated to keep making movies if they want to retain the Resident Evil IP.It's the same reason why there's going to be a new Lord of the Rings movie about Gollum, they need to release something to retain the IP.Making Resident Evil movies is what Constantin Films has the license for. Capcom can't make movies without their approval, buying them out which will now be expensive or if CF stops producing them which ends the contract.Resident Evil movies are seperate from the games because of this. Capcom can't do shit about it.
>>750645056That line was 100% meant as a marvel quip. You're just a fucking retard.
>>750642661They think they're better than the source material.
At this point i'm convinced 95% of the writers are whiny bitches with an inflated ego
>>750645056"Indoctrinated?" What the fuck are you even saying? What does that have to do AT ALL with identifying quippy humor that undercuts literally ALL action and horror these days? The indoctrination is DEFENDING this anti-masculine sillyslop, you absolute fucking moron.
Brapping on gaming nerds who think they know good storytelling is based though, he should feel proud
>>750645096anon, you're talking about shit that takes decades to die, and you're thinking of IP copyright laws which has nothing to do with contractual obligations
Did he really have to kill Trevor Moore for this shit?
>>750642543Gee, almost like people that are fans of a long-running franchise would take issue with a movie advertising itself as being tied to said franchise, without having anything to do with it! Wow!
>>750644760Have you played the original games, motherfucker? It's really fucking easy to see how it's Resident Evil then.
>>750645242/thread4chan meme creators solved the discussion decades ago
>>750645242>when you pick the wrong Mass Effect 3 ending
>>750644623>Do you know how many movie franchises get 6 movies made for them?By what metric? I ask because it seems to get weird how anything is counted for with some not even noting RE series as having six entries.
It's a pointless debate because Cregger's movie is more faithful than a supersoldier mary sue or a black Wesker or a indian Leon. >Whataboutism!Here's the real point that people ignore or are too ignorant to see: Resident Evil 2026 feels exactly like a Resident Evil Spin-Off, where the games are typically about a survivor, they don't always survive, and they're not the main heroes of the story. The only problem with the movie is the title, and that's probably not Cregger's sole decision to make, it's Capcom's IP and they get the final decision on how to market.
>>750645350Whataboutism. Preempting the objection doesn't make it invalid. Nice try
>make an re movie completely based on the games and characters>it bombs and everyone shits on it>make an re movie that's not really tied to the games and is very loosely connected>it sells a lot and the only ones shitting on it are autists on 4chan/reddit/twitter that would have shit on it even if it was another straight adaptationThey made the right decision.
>>750643025>>make a 1:1 adaptationHas this EVER happend for a video game adaptation?Be honest.I don't know why you faggots keep using this argument when it has literally never been done.
>>750645350It's pointless because the haters are kids who don't really understand what it was like playing the OT in the 90's, so they don't understand Zach's movie and never will.
>>750645434Not an argument
>>750642543Retarded motherfucker
I liked it. Like his other movies too. MC could have been played slightly more straight/less comedic, but i think it was only overdone a bit. I think if played completely straight it would have been a bit too depressing and would have e put people off, without making enough gains from people who like that sort of thing.
>>750645535It's such an argument, you attempted to defend against it before he even said it.
>>750642543>bro I made a Star Wars game why is everyone comparing it to the Star Wars movies???it's a mystery
>>750644919Especially domestically. It more than doubled what Afterlife did. 140m vs. 60m. The Anderson movies made most of their money overseas. This one is split about 50/50.
I know it gets diluted by how terrible most of the sequels are, like Final Chapter is one of the worst films I've ever seen I get their reputation, but I do remember that first Milla Jovovich movie actually being pretty good.
>>750642543>make movie about extremely popular long-running video game series>get annoyed when people relate said movie to the gamesI'm not even an REfag and hate the fanbase but what a retard
>>750642543I agree with him. I really liked the first half of the movie. That all felt really in the spirit of the games. I'd rather have that, where it replicates the feeling of playing the game rather than a straight adaptation with the characters and same story. But, I guess that's what people really wanted. Writing these kinds of movies has to be a nightmare. People don't understand how difficult it is to translate a game into a screenplay. I don't even blame them for not bothering. Especially with Resident Evil, where the plots are always retarded. Sometimes you really do have to push all that extra shit away to have a coherent story.
It was just a fun retarded horror movie, you guys take this shit so seriously
>>750645491>Has this EVER happend for a video game adaptation?Has it ever happened with any adaptation? I can't think of one.
>>750645710I used it as an opener to mock this whole pointless debate. Then I immediately went into my real point. You would only have an argument if I just used the logical fallacy as a defense, but didn't have anything to say about it. It's such a worthless argument that you can't make a single other point, now you're probably gonna make another post not replying to me to seethe about how retarded you are.
>>750645823The first milla movie is also basically the same as the zach movie considering it barely has anything to do with the games aside from a few name drops and the virus.
>>750645823You were probably a kid and just excited to see anything from a Videogame with a major production.
>>750645529Good lord. Are you actually defending this movie just because it had a "diamond key lock" joke? That's certainly the only redeemable aspect of this ironyslop I saw.
>>750642543I don't care about it being faithful to the plot of the games, the only thing I thought should've been more faithful is it being about tentacle monsters instead of zombies.
>>750642543>Gah, we used the *name*, what more do you cretins want? Golly...stupid entitled gamerslol eat shit and die, loser, try making something good next time.
>>750644092Look up what Leon, Claire, Chris, and Ada look like in those movies.
>>750645969Same. People keep saying that the fans would bitch because "it's nothing new"... Except that a 1:1 adaptation has literally never ever been done (and probably can't even be done) so that argument is retarded.All people want is to see the story and characters adapted without adding some OC donut steel main character, or just ignoring everything from the setting besides a few names. It doesn't have to be 1:1.Mortal Kombat wasn't a 1:1 adaptation but it respected the setting and had the main characters actually be the main characters of the games.
>>750646003>I used it as an opener to mock this whole pointless debateNo you didn't, you tried to use it to strengthen your glazing and if somebody actually called you on it (which is what happened) you have something else to fall back on. You're not cut out to be a lawyer, kid.
>>750646003Nice goal post moving, you are still wrong (and seething!)
Why the fuck would anyone want a game like Resident Evil adapted into a movie anyway? Just watch the far superior movies it ripped off in the first place.
>>750646123Nah. When these games released in the 90's, they were about civilians caught in a horrible situation caused by a big pharma corporation. There was no larger-than-life heroics yet. It was a survival horror series that was just a bit more action-oriented than Silent Hill. This movie isn't perfect, but it captures this better than the action movies, which always seemed like a Hollywood aberration since the very first one released (even if that one was a bit better than its sequels).
>>750646345>It was a survival horror seriesBut the movie is an action comedy with horror elements, it's exactly the opposite of what you're describing.>the action moviesyes, they're shit, but them being shit doesn't make anything else better.
>>750646345The first game is literally about a specialist team of police. Not a one of the original 4(5) survivors is "civilian."
>>750646262Because what these morons are actually whining about is that they don't get to see Leon, Jill or whatever running around. I presume they want to self insert, ship or just want marvelslop tier references everywhere>Just like that time on raccoon city! am i right wink winkif they cared about zombie movies they'd watch those instead. gamers are cattle, and game only people even more so.
>>750646247>glazingGlazing what? I didn't say anything about the movie other than it was faithful to the RE universe.>>750646252>Goalpost MovingI replied to what you pointed out. What goalpost did I move? You're losing on your own terms.
>>750646345>IT'S BETTER THAN THE WS ANDERSON MOVIESYour bar for passing is literally in the basement.
>>750646262Resident Evil has always just been copying horror movie tropes and stories and just adding japanese flair to it
>>750642543He technically didn't use the brand name.He used the localized non-canon name.Resident Evil is, and always be Biohazard.
>>750646262God damn. I've never seen that in HD. Just the grainy workprint footage. That was the shot Savini had to cut because it would have gotten the movie slapped with an X or NC-17 rating. I forget which, it was right around the time the rating system changed.
>>750646436If the game stories are so shit, if the characters are so shit, why even make an adaptation at all?
>>750646587Resident Evil was made for Americans so our opinions are the most important.
>>750646491>I didn't say anything about the movie other than it was faithful to the RE universe.You made the standard so broad to fit a "faithful" assertion>It has a survivorSo does pretty much every other horror film and even video game out there. For an IP adaptation, you'd have to argue for something more, which in this case would be....a few name drops here and there?
>>750644860How did this shit cost 75 million? It looks like a 2 million low budget movie.
>>750646696The games are shit, don't ever forget that don't ever think they are not. RE has always been slop. I don't get why they want to make it happen, the games are sadly popular but I don't think its worth it to deal with one of the most autistic fanbases. That doesn't matter to studios though, I don't think the name and "series" has as much potential as they think it does.But yes the characters, games, etc are shit.
Is cregger a jew? He sure acts like it
>>750646179>they don't look like charactersAnd?You're missing the point, it's not about whether the original movies were good, which is opposite to what I said in the first place (even if your reading comprehension seems to lead you to believe it wasn't), it's about how the original ones will be remembered as being the real RE movies and this new pile of shit will be forgotten within two years 'oh right, they made a new one, I forgot lol'Nobody cares about specific characters, but also, I added the fallout series as an example because they are ORIGINAL characters, that's the whole point, you don't have to 'piss of' anyone because you can still make something original, but you need to find the middle ground between originality and keeping the core identity, which this one didn't do either way.
>>750646720True.Majority of the locations and conspiracies are American based.
>>750646890Nepotism would explain how a talentless hack like him advanced in that industry, so probably.
>>750646814You didn't actually answer the question. I don't give a fuck about your personal shit taste.
>>750647010i answered it. ill answer it again, the IP for films means they have to make films to keep the rights, so they make films or that horrible tv show they did a while ago, games are popular so why not?capcom tried to be more hands on with the SF movie out right now, didnt work. that already tells you an "accurate" RE movie would be shit.RESIDENT EVIL IS SHITCANCERSHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHITMY TASTE > YOUR TASTEWHY? CUZ RESIDENT EVIL'S A PIECE OF SHIT
>>750642543There is no excuse for NOT sticking to the source material after the Sonic, Mario (somewhat) and most recent Mortal Kombat movie.
>>750646732>You made the standard so broad to fit a "faithful" assertionAm I? Because if so, Capcom is making the remakes more broad to fit this type of aesthetic compared to the other movies.
>>750647093>the IPOh, so the IP is valuable?Why is that? Could it be that's because people like the IP? Could people like the IP because they like the stories and characters, thus being justified in wanting those characters to be adapted?>but I, ME, MYSELF DONT LIKE ITSo what? I don't care about your taste.>SFThe SF movie wasn't accurate at all, so that's a retarded thing to say.
I liked the movie theres stuff to quibble about it being a "resident evil" movie but on the whole it didnt bother me. My biggest criticism is that while the ending sequence is funny it feels like it totally undercuts bryans hero's journey and emotional moments.
>>750647161Probably because that’s pointless as shit and none of those movies adapt a particular game
>>750646991The games didn't even have Japanese audio until Re6.
>>750642825It's a fine movie but it's either massively overrated or overrated.Bitching abou the lack of game characters is retarded, it works better as a side story.Not a single monster from the games, though, that's fucking ridiculous. The movie is more like "the thing comes to town" rather than Resident Evil.
>>750647260the marvel IP is super valuable. incredibly. the movies are shit and all about it is super shit, so?something can be valuable in money and be shit, what do you want me to say?oh it was so accurate it even had the anime thing going on, look, its about the tone and sensibility, you wouldnt get it. im telling you, a resident evil movie like you want cant exist and wouldnt work, i wish they would so it would sink the whole thing but it aint happening that way sadly
>>750647161MK opens up with like 20 minutes of random bullshit nobody cared about
>>750647161I like the third sonic movie but those movies do not stick to the source material beyond surface level shit. Did you forget about the black wedding in 2 and no biolizard and replacing rogue with a human in 3?The mario movies are genuinely slop that exist only to shove references from the game in your face as fast as possible. Do not use them as an example for what to do in a game adaptation ever.
>>750646401Well, yes, there was also the B-movie horror-comedy aspect of the first game, and that was a big part of the first game's experience for people then. I forgot to mention that. So it's not "exactly the opposite." Not exactly the same either.>>750646427Those police were treated in a civilian sense back then. That's how people related to them. They weren't action heroes yet.>>750646508I'm just saying that the movie is related to the games. Specifically the OT. It could have been better, of course.
>>750647398>I THINK X IS SHIT, SHIT, SHIIIIIIITOk, bro, don't care, not relevant to the discussion.>a resident evil movie like you want cant exist and wouldnt workyou haven't really made any actual arguments why it can't exist.Mortal Kombat, in the fucking 90s was able to have a movie that had canon characters in it and actually respected the tone of the series. There's no reason RE can't have the same.
>>750646262>>750646562Besides the obvious Romero stuff, what else did they rip off?
>>750642543Well, why isn't it like the source material?
>>750647591its just an inferior zombie movie with some different named characters, thats all RE is at the end of the day. a pastiche of good zombie movies with shit fanfic characters on topits marvel shit
>>750647675Sounds like it would be pretty easy to make a faithful RE movie then.
>>750642543that's the dumbest thing to get frustrated over I've ever heard. of course people are going to question why an adaptation isn't like the source material. people did the same thing for the first resident evil movie when it came out. people did it for the weird 5th element-like Mario Bros movie.
>>750647596Evil Dead, Texas Chainsaw, The Thing
>>750645969A close comparison to this stuff would be level 5's games and anime. The LBX anime is a 1:1 adaptation of thr games story to the point you could easily enjoy them side by side. Basically how I enjoyed the second game.
>>750647596The Bandersnatch is a carbon copy of this guy from Return of the Living Dead 3. He even has the stubby arm on one side. His other one doesn't stretch though.
>>750645969Sin City
>>750645969Holes>>750648072
>>750642543Weapons is one of the worst movies ever made, the wrong asshole fell off a roof.
>>750648193*balcony*was shoved
How do you adapt a game that has like 20 minutes of story cutscenes and the rest is just pure gameplay?
Is Weapons actually good, or is it wrongly overhyped? I haven't seen it
>>750647517>Well, yes, there was also the B-movie horror-comedy aspect of the first game, and that was a big part of the first game's experience for people then.That was unintentional and I doubt kids during the 90s got that feeling. RE2 was more polished and it's clear they were inspired by Aliens and The Terminator, not by B-movies.
>>750648305there's like 200 pages of document per games bro, and then there's more to take and gather from the other games happening around the same time, it's really not that hard
>>750648305Really weird how resident evil suddenly has this many people scratching their heads over a zombie story and how to make one.
Why does this resident evil movie get more hate than the other dozen?
>>750647517>Those police were treated in a civilian sense back then. That's how people related to them. They weren't action heroes yet.Your whole defense of this movie boils down to >"BUT THEY DON'T ACT LIKE ALICE SO IT'S OK" while glazing over everything else. Like the fact THEY ARE NOT CIVILIANS
>>750645491Exit 8.Game:>about 90 minutes of walking through a Japanese train station platform looking for anomalies and having to start over if you miss one/imagine one that wasn't thereMovie:>90 minutes of people walking through a Japanese train station platform looking for anomalies and having to start over when they miss one/imagine one that wasn't thereAbsolute kino, 8/10 stars.
>>750648305his script had all the parts, but he doesn't understand how to write a compelling adventure or characters.Movie spent way too long setting up, wasted time on pointless things and squandered the few good things.
>>750648312Solid 7 imo. Schizos tried giving it some political critique for being woke, but I don't get what for. It's basically a Goosebumps episode with some violence.
>>750648574Cuz Milla ain't in itNor Milla's tiddies
>>750648574The old resident evil movies were successes entirely based on the fact that gay men liked watching them.
>>750642543His entire fault. Day 1 he could have been clear about his intentions but he wasn't so when the 2nd trailer came out and showed it didn't take place during RE 2 even though he implied it did fuck himself over
>>750648404>there's like 200 pages of document per gamesDo you really think pausing the movie to read some retarded diary entries every 15 minutes makes for a compelling experience? Are gamers really this dumb?
>>750648317Intentional or not, the first game was always known for its humorous voiceover (2 as well, in fact). It was also M rated, so not intended for kids; it wasn't just kids playing them.
>>750648312it's not good, but it has a lot of good moments.
>>750648757?what the fuck are you talking about you nigger, what do you think is written in these in-game documents?lorestory beatsexplanations as to what happenednow, how would one use all this data and turn it into a movie... mmmhh, let me think!nope, can't think of a way to do that! kill yourself you stupid retard
>>750643025>Honestly there’s no winning with fans, what Cregger did is probably the best option.No there is winning. Make a movie about a game. You can take liberties it's totally fine. I would expect a RE 1 movie would need some side plot maybe additional survivors they find in the mansion to pad out the story but they never did this. Stick with a single game, make a movie about it add whatever and do that. They didn't do this. Also of course reddit faggots like you go straight to attacking fans and not the hundred billion dollar corporation behind this
>>750642543>Wants to make an RE movie>Doesn't want it to be like RE or follow anything of the in lore mechanics Then just go make another generic no name zombie movie then
>>750648620Like I said, you kids don't really understand what it was like playing the games in the 90's. No one saw these characters as superheroes back then. Police, special forces or not, aren't superheroes. They're just people. At the start of the first game practically all of STARS is already dead, too; there was no feeling of any of them being invincible. Instead, they just felt like ordinary, trained people who had been athletes in school.
>>750642543What? How could he not see this kind of discourse coming from a mile away? This is the problem with Hollywood fags. They're so up their own ass and out of touch that the most obvious realities to mere peasants like us are like whiplash when it's presented to them. I'll tell you why you felt shocked, Zach: you got a really bloated ego after Weapons blew up like it did, so you thought you were this creative revolutionary genius and whatever you did for RE would just be universal praise again. Be less of an uppity faggot on your next project.
>>750648915He's doing the /tv/ shitposting where they act like the most literal retards ever, guess some of them blew over from that shithole
>>750648312I usually hate horror movies with that sort of villain (a witch) because the villain's motives are always murky and their abilities are always inconsistent because the writer writes themselves into a corner, but Weapons was very straight-forward on both counts. All of the characters are trying their best to do whatever they're trying to do, even the idiots. It's a solid movie, if nothing else. You'll get bored early on if you just want to see gore.
>>750649057>How could he not see this kind of discourse coming from a mile awayHe did, which is why he went with "i'm a fan of the games, please watch my movie" before only to pull the usual writer ego shit after.
>>750644882damn when did he got outed and what did he say that exposed him?
Notice how many retards in this threads first instincts are to attack the fans aka the customer>grrrrr the fans are never happy>ignore what the fans want>I am glad the fans aren't happyThis is what spending billions on psychologists to make people run damage control for your corporation by getting others to attack its user base looks like.
A straight adaptation of RE1 would be the funniest fucking thing ever because it genuinely expects you to be shocked when you learn the sketchy dude dressed all in black and wearing sunglasses at night is the bad guy.
>set it in raccoon city outbreak>change timeline from 1998 to todayyeah """respect""" there is not reason to change/retcon the timeline I didnt add anything to the story and tells me enough about what a "fan" he is
>>750642825It's basically just a Resident Evil game put to screen without that retard Leon, which automatically makes it the best recent Resident Evil media.
Make a movie faithful to the narrative parts of RE1. Add side plots like they find "survivors" who end up being Umbrella scientists who escaped the lab but can't leave the mansion due to the dogs. All but one of these scientists turns on Chris or Jill or both of them. The "good" one takes them to the lab after killing the bad ones but dies when Wesker does his heel turn. This is just one simple additional plot thread you can add to pad out the story which won't fuck with stuff too much.
>>750644190As someone who avidly hates mila and her husband, i take her posing more serious than a fucking retard digging in his ear What is this even supposed to convey? I might accidentally pull the trigger and fail upwards?
I seriously don't get itRE2make is already a straightforward movie. If you cut the video gameisms like puzzles and running around backtracking, it already fits into a movie perfectly
>>750649304nah everyone's just sick of manchildren like you throwing embarassing melties over trivial shit.
I'm fine with it being its own thing but it was kind of shitty with how it was initially said to be a canon story that takes place within the continuity of the games only for it to definitely not be the case. Don't market it that way if that's not what it is.
>>750649535>It's basically just a Resident Evil gameWithout anything that makes it resident evil
I read this back in high school and enjoyed it, I really don't understand the argument of a straight adaptation of the games being "impossible"
>>750648691Milla was a sleazy drunkard on stage during the Game Awards. If there's anything she cared about, it's not video games.
>>750649701You let a corporation brainwash you into doing its own work for them congrats retard.
>>750642543>"discussion had nothing to do with the movie, everything was about whether the movie..."Lmao
>>750648312It's an okayish movie. Baited normies with a single scene for political discussion.It has a couple of great scenes and the ending is fucking hilarious, really reminiscent of Zack's WKUK days.
>>750649778One of those books was even its own story about Rebecca trapped on an island of Hunters and that story was totally fine despite being new and not canon. The issue is there is no meritocracy in Hollywood. You are either jewish or jewish adjacent.
>>750649695So why would you want an exact copy of what already exists, but on a movie screen?
>>750649984The same reason you make these braindead shitposts, entertainment.
>>750649757Someone please post some of the webms from the game accurate animated movies for this anon.I love the circle shoot one.
>>750649915>Baited normies with a single scene for political discussion.Can you elaborate on this because I don't remember anything political in the movie, and I went in knowing chuds were bitching about something like that that and still didn't see it.
>>750643342>White Jordan Peele
I wonder how it would have went down with the YouTube dude that made Obsession. They made that movie in a short time with a nothing-ass budget and it was surprisingly good. Somebody get that dude on the next RE movie.
>>750650114That's effectively it. Chud retards on here saw the dream sequence with the gun overtop the house and freaked out about it being about muh heckin government taking away our guns.There was no controversy our outcry from anyone besides losers on /pol/ and /tvpol/
>>750649984Because it would be fun to watch, duh.Seriously I have no idea how you guys can be so brain dead like this. No one has ever questioned why video game adaptations of movies exist, so why do you question movie adaptations of video games?In case you're still too braindead to understand, it's because watching, reading and playing are different kinds of entertainment.Just because I read lord of the rings doesn't mean I didn't enjoy watching the lord of the rings movie or playing one of the many lord of the rings games that follows the plot beat by beat.
>>750642543The movie could easily have been considered canon to the RE universe with a few changes here and there. At the end of the day the movie is pretty good but I don't know why the director didn't go the extra mile for that.
>>750649284Look up the bulletproof vest incidentNo true fan would ever make that mistake in a million years
>>750650091>game accurate animated moviesthey're not game accurate either, not sure why you'd bring them up.
>>750647596The Thing(influenced the body horror mutations and La Plagas)The Terminator(Influenced super powered mindless humanoid stalkers designed to destroy the hero such as Mr.X and Nemisis)Alien(Influenced monster designs like the licker)Evil Dead(Cabin in the woods defense sequence in RE4 and well as Leon’s transition in an comedy horror hero like Ash)Texas Chainsaw(Dr.Salvador and the RE7 dinner scene being basically a copy to the Texas Chainsaw dinner scene)Saw(Lucas Baker in RE7 does a whole bunch saw trap bullshit)
Oh man this thread really got invaded by some rapefugees
>>750649757It's basically identical to the RE remakes but without le funny quip man or le epic trenchcoat villain.Everything to come out of this franchise in the last 10 years is shit.
>>750650235Obsession was pretty good but also quite overrated. More often than not it was funny and definitely not intentionally.
>>750650235Fucking anybody can make a better movie than the jewish nepobabies in Hollywood. These people only want to make money, not art.
>All you have to do is a RE Outbreak thing with any of the hundreds to thousands of survivors in RC before the bomb drops
"Anon I'm thinking of making that chocolate cake you had on your 15th birthday.""Hell yeah I loved that cake! I'd totally buy it and eat it if you did!""Ah cool, well here it is.""Thanks...wait this isn't event chocolate cake, and it tastes like shit.""UGH listen I HAD to make it different otherwise you'd complain it was THE SAME, and anyway this cake isn't even for you, it's better than a shitty chocolate cake. I don't even know your shitty chocolate cake recipe anyway, GOD why are you so impossible to please!"Hell yeah, I love video game adaptations.
>>750650268I am a far right racist and saw this movie and have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. There were no discussion about this scene
>>750650279The cutscene graphical fidelity and even the gameplay itself of the RE-2 remake is equivalent to a 2026 movie. It quite literally already exists, you can just watch the cutscene compilation on youtube.
>>750650408Read this part again, and then think real hard.>Just because I read lord of the rings doesn't mean I didn't enjoy watching the lord of the rings movie or playing one of the many lord of the rings games that follows the plot beat by beat.
>>750650325They are. Resident Evil franchise ranges from campy zombie to retarded action movie to shooting werewolves and trolls. If you take an average of all of the games the essence of the "story highlights" boils down to>named character with no personality blows up a flesh monster and says a one liner.
>>750649718Are you incapable of deriving enjoyment out of something unless a franchise mascot crashes in from a wall and say "I'm Leon S. Kennedy, present and accounted for!" for 3 entire seconds in the movie and then left?
>>750647336Kek!
>>750650629RE fans are weird. They will shit on game series they like to "win" a retarded argument about movie adaptations.
>>750645210Came to post this. Hope eternal damnation is worth this pile of shit lmao.
>>750642543Then maybe he should have followed the fucking script of the games.I really don't get these Hollyweird cunts, they have the job esseentially done for them, all they have to do is use the script that is already right there and study the game's visual style, but noooo, they ALWAYS have to put in their unrequited "enhancements" and then whine when the fans of the games expectedly hate their shitty reinterpretations.
>>750645491Mortal Kombat, the original from the 90s. Its the closest true to the game that I can think of.
>>750650757All the games and movies are fun (including the Anderson ones). You're the retarded one calling an adaptation of something that has no coherent identity itself inaccurate.
>>750650629Not taking the words of someone who thinks the series is shit on how accurate any adaptation is.
>>750642543Well Zach, you have fucked up now.Now you fucked up!Now you fucked up!Now you fucked up!Now you have fucked up!
>>750650235>Guy who has only seen Obsession: "They should get that dude to make every horror movie after Obsession"
>>750650876Cregger is just smart enough to know that your typical RE retardation would bomb among even an average-intelligence movie audience.
>>750650114The scene with the AR on top of the house which baited both sides into a school shooter stance.
>>750642543>watch that weapons movie since tastelets wouldn’t stop gushing about it>40 minutes in it just starts feeling like a really blatant allegory about school shootings>get to a scene where a character sees a giant AR15 floating in the sky during a dreamWow, great “horror” movie you made there. I shut it off about 10 minutes later. Absolute trash. I will never watch this “Resident Evil” film from this same whiny reddit tier director. Eggers is the only decent new director right now. He’s the only one that still knows how to make horror films and period pieces without injecting his gay coastal elite politics into them.
>>750650343Forgot to add:Resident Evil(2002) film influenced the laser room in RE4
>>750642543Movie was great, RE fans can eat shit.
>>750650405Love you weasel little queers. /tv/ was even more of a shithole because your team couldn't shut the fuck up non-stop about the giant gun in the trailer and the script leak was supposedly about my freaking school shootings and the wokies
>>750650996This last movie had nothing to do with Resident Evil and should have called itself "Zombie Courier" or something. Remember that time everyone rightfully hated seeing game IPs getting raped by becoming nothing more than videos in Packinko machines? That is what you are supporting, maybe worse because at least the Pachinko cutscenes were from games
>>750642825>why adapt something if you're just going ignore everything that makes people like it?He ignored everything that people like about Resident Evil? God what an asshole.
>>750643025>It’s not a pre-existing story, it’s a separate story in a pre-existing setting.Then don't call it Resident Evil, call it Zombie Hell: A Resident Evil Story. The problem is they want the money from naming the movie after the title of the game without any of the criticism associated with it. There's a middle ground they're refusing to accept because it means less butts in seats even if it actually leaves would be moviegoers actually informed.
>>750642543Honestly the structure of the movie perfectly captures the feeling of the older games, couldn't care less that it wasn't a 1:1 adaption of one of the games stories, having the main character attempt to shoot a lock in frustration is the best adaption of how playing old Resident Evil feels
>>750651042>heh this IP is shit and I hate it but I will make a movie that has nothing to do with it and use the IP name I think is stupidThis is how retarded you are
>>750650283>I don't know why the director didn't go the extra mile for thatHave you seen the reception in this thread?
>>750651236All the /tv/ threads were identical to this where it was fans of the game who hated the movies vs trannies like you who hate the fans and the games. Nothing to do with politics
>>750651042You misunderstand me, by all means assrape the story and aesthetics all you want in your shitty movies for normies, just don't fucking cry when the actual fans of the franchise tell you that your movie sucks dicks and will be forever despised by the fandom.Same goes for everything else, everytime Bryke or Disney make a show or movie that further desecrates the lore of Avatar or Star Wars and the OG fans rigtfully tear it to pieces for being a shitty ideologically-driven failure they should just own their retarded choices instead of calling everyone a racist.
>>750651090it was very iconic
>>750651332>receives financial benefits of RE brand recognition>still gets to do whatever he wants with the movie>only downside is pissing off a small community of turbovirginsOnly retard here is you
>>750651236>Love you weasel little queers.Why is it that you fags always go for the most inoffensive yet elaborated insults?It's not even obnoxious, it's as if you are constantly policing your own selves. Kind of strange.
>>750651531>they should just own their retarded choices instead of calling everyone a racistCool it with the anti-Semitism.
>>750642543I just don't understand why or how these people are put in charge of anything.
>>750651670jews
>>750651550>retard is literally arguing that it's good that corporations manipulate and rip off their customersplease refer to this post I made earlier >>750649304
>>750651749Well he's only "manipulating and ripping off" a small community of turbovirgins, which actually makes the corporation the good guys.
>>750651889Could you make it any more obvious that you're not from here? I bet you don't even play video games.
>>750651276>Honestly the structure of the movie perfectly captures the feeling of the older gamesWhich older game, exactly?Not RE 1 which starts with a whole group of people, and it's about methodically investigating a mansion.Not RE 2 which starts with pair methodically investigating a police station.Not RE 3 which stars a girl that is running from a terminator like monsters and eventually allies with a mercenary to survive
>>750651889Again read that post I linked to and understand you let a corporation mind rape you into hating fandoms and customers by manipulating your ego and low self esteem
>>750651974Looks like that one stung. It's okay anon, I'm sure there'll be some wuxia slop releasing soon that will distract you from your turbovirginity.
>>750652047The only motivation I need to hate the Resident Evil fandom is interaction with the Resident Evil fandom.
>>750642543>I love TITLE so much! Don’t you love it too?!>okay it’s not really TITLE but what I want TITLE to be>why is everyone comparing it to TITLE?!
>>750652179Good goy er I mean guy hate consumers and blindly support billion dollar corporations
>>750652345Corporate figureheads are unironically more tolerable people than RE fans.
>>750643025>>make a 1:1 adaptationPeople bitch because it’s nothing new, and games are visually appealing enough that a live-action version doesn’t look much more impressive than a game doesthis has never ever happened in the history of movies based in games
>>750652471kek they did a number on you. All it takes is manipulating your low self esteem and self worth and pushing you towards a target they want you to attack so you feel bigger than them.
I don't know why he's shocked when it happened with every live action RE movie before his.
>>750652595He doesn't even play video games - he's a fucking joke of a shill that can only make noise.
>>750652595There isn't a big conspiracy against REtards anon, you just aren't very likable people.
>>750651018WHATWHATWHATWHAT
>>750652014You're exploring places alone for most of RE 1 and 2Also I never felt like I was methodically investigation the police station in RE2 more like stumbling around
>>750652480>make a 1:1 adaptationCare to give an example?
>>750652846My bad, just re-read your post.
>>750652736It's not just resident evil pathetic reddit losers like you exist for every fandom where you treat billion dollar corporations like religious charities and get brainwashed into think the customer is the bad guy because they have criticisms
I thought it was decent.
>>750645152They are. Video games are an embarrassing hobby for adult children who refuse to grow up.
I haven't seen the movie because I don't give money to Hollywood since I'm not goycattle but isn't this adaptation way closer to the games than the Anderson films which were basically the Fast & Furious version of videogame movies?Same thing with Silent Hill movies, which had a single passable adaptation and then it had Pyramid Head as a kaiju-type monster because woaaah dude scary character!
>>750652846I think an RE1 adaptation is possible it's in a mansion and a lab, the closed environments would work for a movie.
>>750643025>People bitch because it’s nothing new,When has this ever happened? Not getting a 1:1 adaptation has been, historically, the biggest criticism a fanbase has always had about adaptations in any medium. These movies aren't made for fans, they're made first and foremost for casual moviegoers and secondly for fans willing to take a look at it, because studios think a fanbase isn't enough to warrant risking millions of dollars for a 1:1. It can be argued it's a reasonable course of action, but you have to be an idiot to not expect fans to give you shit for the thing they've given shit anyone since the dawn of movie adaptations.Also Cregger is overhyped to hell. In a time with more quality movies, his films wouldn't stand a chance.
>>750653219You deserve to do nothing but work until the very second you die.
>>750653296>this shit movie was better than that other shit movie so therefore it's okwhy are so many of you mentally retarded and argue like this?
>>750653219Then why are you posting in a videogames board you fucking loser?
>>750652931Not disproving my point here. Schizo and turbovirgin is a rough combination.
>>750653348It would need addition original plot points added to it but I would be ok with that
>>750653460>heh I let billion dollar corporations and CEO brainwash me into thinking I am superior to RE fans and therefore they are the bad guysyou people are pathetic seriously and are ruining gaming and all media
>>750644021>Why do autists demand everything be just infinite copies of itself for eternity?Because of the novelty of getting to see a real version of the stuff you see in your games/comics/cartoons. What, you think the X Men sporting their cartoon suits is just a coincidence? Marvel understood that and they've been capitalizing on it for about 20 years now.
Reminder that Carl from The Walking Dead made a faithful adaptation of Resident Evil 7 intro and its kinohttps://youtu.be/x-a5Kn9p8WM?si=fezG9rZVBVyb9ASW
>>750648312Interesting premise, very lackluster execution and even worse conclusion. Could say exactly the same about Barbarian.Didn't see RE because I feel like I've learned my lesson with this asshole. His movies are fucking mediocre.
>>750653556>jim from corporate: oh hey man, how'd you like that resident evil movie? did you take a date?>re fans: hollywood has BRAINWASHED you into DISLIKING me and consuming inaccurate SLOPWhich one of these people will I prefer interacting with?
>>750653440>anon gets confused with the concept of incremental improvementHey retard, movies and videogames aren't interchangeable mediums. If you play videogames and care about movies, you might as well buy a PS5 and enjoy your latest homoslop racemixing cinematic experience, faggot.
>>750642543What a retarded faggot. Thank God I haven't watched a movie in over 10 years.
>>750653812>billion dollar CEO good middle class badgood goy
>>750653813When two things are shit there is no "incremental improvement" you low IQ whataboutism abusing retard
>>750653556>he actually thinks that the CEOs give a single shit about media products aside from revenue, time constraints and personnel expenditure>doesn't know that it's always the creative class in business which always think they can do better than the source materialTell me how you've never worked in any type of creative environment ever lmao
>>750653812I’ll take the schizo over talking hobbies with coworkers
>>750654009Counter-point:>this shit movie was better than that other shit movie Learn the meaning of words before you use them, retard.
it was pretty good
>>750653219Yet Cregger's movie has a more nonsensical plot and dumber characters than a typical RE game
>>750653942>annoying losers badftfy ;)
>>750654119I don't give a shit about the CEO's intentions the point is you are a retarded low IQ faggot supporting them over consumers because you are addicted to self hating subreddits who have been infiltrated by paid shills who manipulate you to hate fans.
>>750654232I accept your concession retard. One movie being less shit in your opinion doesn't make it good. So many of you low IQ faggots are incapable of arguing with anything but low IQ whataboutisms
>>750650343>Alien(Influenced monster designs like the licker)It also inspired the laboratories that self destruct.
>>750654305>daddy CEO I will defend you with my life because I am a pathetic insecure redditor who wants to feel superior to others
>>750654143>talking hobbies = asking how a movie wasThis is why everybody avoids you. That and the stench.
>>750654327Videogame fans don't give a single shit about movies because videogame fans understand that movies are an inferior medium.You "videogames are le art" type of retards are the ones who are killing videogames lmaoGlad that you faggots are getting bankrupt and fired while the CEOs are getting bonuses for realizing that your studios are costing them billions.
>>750654392>can't refute his own wording>buzzword galorehe mad lol
>>750654446Anon, I AM superior to you, because I don't believe in a giant conspiracy directed by Hollywood to make me hate your irritating fanbase.Meds.
>>750654483>You "videogames are le art" typeI am not that type and don't think video games are art>>750654567go suck a CEOs cock you pathetic failure
>>750645192No it's not, it's not copyright laws it's a licensing agreement.
I liked the film.
>>750654629No you are a pathetic loser probably a tranny who takes the sides of billion dollar corporations to feel superior to others like the good goy you are
>>750654638lmao the artsy fag types are always so flamboyant at trying to be offensiveIt's quite funny, they are extremely upset but they are so used to self-policing and self-aggrandizing that they can't help themselvesNo wonder you are so upset about movies and CEO boogeymen, tryhard
It's going to cross the 400 million mark before it's over. I look forward to seeing the Katamari monster in RE 10.
>>750642543I didn't watch the movie, but if you think any of the Resident Evil stories or characters are anything worth being "faithful to", instead of unspeakable dog-shit, you need to blow your brains out.And that's my professional opinion as a psychiatrist.
>>750654797Bait used to be believable
>>750642543movie industry deserves to die
>>750654809>doesn't even read what I writeI accept your concession>>750654934I didn't use bait tranny. I told it how it is.
>>750642543i watched the other movies of this retard only to have an informed opinionthey are the definition of midit cant get middier than this
what is the appeal of resident evil? the old games look like ass and control like ass and the new games are woke troonshit
>>750654978I did read your homosexual projection though.Imagine giving a single shit about Hollywood movies in 2014+12 lmaoImagine, even, getting mad about them
>>750655031He's completely and utterly talentless, he had to kill Trevor Moore to get the jews to promote him.
>>750654454K, be sure to tell Jim all about it
>>750653562The WS Anderson movies are right there
>>750655076I accepted your concession we are good
>>750655198>feigning indifference after spending an entire thread crying about muh eevul CEOslel
>>750652931Omg it's as if they are Umbrella Corp IRL, so true sister
>>750655289see previous post
>>750655395Which one, there's dozens of them where you are QQing hard kek
>>750643210>never snowed in Raccon City.Are you retarded? Why couldn't it snow there?
>>750649304I have fanboy fatigue
>>750655121They have the same problem as Cregger's movie, i.e.: they're fanfiction. They're fucking awful, and I'm pretty sure worse than the new one (don't feel like watching it).
>>750642543Zach Cregger is an unironic caveman who puts stuff in his movies just because he thinks it's cool, which is commendable in its audacity.
>>750655459see>>750655198
I'm honestly a little surprised that Cregger didn't have a firm understanding that this is what wading into fandom would be like. If you're adapating a game of course most fans of the games aren't going to be talking about the qualities of the movie going into it- they play games.
>>750642661He wanted to tell a Resident Evil-style story as a movie separated from the characters. I thought the movie worked (besides the ending) because of it. What would you have wanted instead?>>750642825>infected sorta-zombies >body/bio horror>him trying to survive>Umbrella being cunts>even the trope of the independent strong niggeress (or woman to you AI anons) didn't panned out: she diedEven had little things like ammo boxes looking like the game.>>750647350It kept the spirit of the games. Whether it worked or not is an issue of the quality of the film, but as for continuing the source material, I think it has.>inb4 shillI would rate is as 5/10: if you wanted to watch A movie, it's a fine choice. But it's not a movie to rewatch, or plead to watch unless you like the genre.
>>750655569>anon so mad now he's nigger-loopingLMAO
>>750655735Yup bad news your concession is still accepted.
>>750654868/thread
>>750643025Hi Zach
>>750654978I'm sure you did schizo. Now hold that thought, I have to go collect my Columbia Pictures shill check and attend my private shill strategy meeting with Cregger. After that I'm going to force your parents into sex transition surgery, but we can argue again after I staple a cock to your mother.
>>750655663Adapting videogame movies is pretty retarded.Real fans won't care because movies are an inferior medium compared to videogames and the people who care are the artsy faggy types who only care about seeming superior and more cultured so they will nitpick everything while ironically being unable to understand why movies need to make fundamental changes to the source material when adapting from a movie.The movie has done 5 times its investment and it's Cregger's third movie, so he proved to the artsy types that the best way to make a movie adaptation is to ignore the theatre kids.
>>750655976Bad news. Your concession status has not changed
>>750656058But your parents genitalia have!
>>750656058Not even the same guy lolNow you are schizoing out, too funny.
>>750642825A director shouldn’t give a single shit about other people and what they like or don’t like.
>>>/tv/ is that waygo talk about your literally who pedo wannabes over there.this board is for a medium that's actually popular and profitable.
>>750656104>>750656147Sorry bad news your status is still the same
>>750656285>makes 4x its production budget in your path
>>750642543I say this as a fan of Whitest Kids You Know... this guy is kind of annoying and people should stop interviewing him. he isn't barging into anyone's house to share these weird takes about why he just HAD TO not adapt the source material, so just stop asking him and he'll stop talking.
>>750656434uh-huh yeah that's cool buddy I'm sure all those jewish billionaires are real happy and allbut >>>/tv/ is that way so you should go talk about your favourite pedos over there
>>750656285I think Cregger is actually itt, it's the same flavor of desperate attention whoring that Sessler does.
>>750656412Haven't seen this level of bootyblasted in years
>>750656285Have you been living under a rock? If you aren't Valve, Nintendo or Fortnite, you're bleeding money even harder than Hollywood.And in both industries, the culprits are the leftard fag types lmao
>>750642543>waaaaa my creative vision then go make an original movie then niggerfaggot instead of slapping another ip on the title. I fucking hate "artists" and "film makers" like no shit retard people pay to see resident evil then they expect it to be similar storywise to the games good god i fucking hate Californians
>>750656653I can check your concession status again but I doubt it has changed
>>750656285>profitable
>>750642543Most of the people whining about the film not being like the games are larpers who haven't even played them anyway.
>>750656897Check on your father's hormone treatment instead. Have breasts begun to develop?We tried to cut off his penis but we miraculously discovered he's always actually been a pussy.
>>750657014It's like people that get butthurt about book adaptations not being faithful.Shape rotators who actually enjoy books don't give a single shit about the quality of a movie.This is because cinema is quintessentially a goycattle medium.
>>750656682>If you aren't Valve, Nintendo or Fortnite, you're bleeding money even harder than Hollywood.Then maybe you should talk about that instead of some literally who tier dogshit movie.
>>750657149>still wrong >still seething oh (You), never change! ;)
>>750657149Alright i'll go check on your concession status....again.
>>750657275I'm just here laughing at anons who actually give a shit about movies.In a sense, your viewpoint and mine aren't that different.
>>750657189>This is because cinema is quintessentially a goycattle medium.lmao this guy is afraid of moving pictures and thinks they will brainwash him and give him immoral thoughts or some shit.
>>750657405No, if you actually knew how to read, you would understand that movies can't actually imprint anything whatsoever to anyone who has a 3 digit IQ. Exactly the opposite that you claim to, quite impressive at being so retarded that you got it backwards.
>>750657302Every time you check I get ten bucks from Hollywood and a high-five from Netanyahu.
>>750642543>I was frustrated at the conversation around Resident EvilThen don't make a Resident Evil film.
>>750657582I am booting up the system right now.....
>>750657579No I think you are just afraid of engaging with certain art because you think you’ll get brainwashed, that’s always the case when you people talk about “goyslop”. You’re an adult man, it’s fine. It’s not real. You’re not being brainwashed by da joos.
>>750657709Check just cleared thank you anon! What movie should I buy a ticket to?
>>750657858It's loading
>>750657839>da joosNot him, but found the kike.
>>750657984Don't know that one. Is Cat in the Hat okay?
>>750657839No, moving pictures are unironically dogshit and there's nothing of substance that has not been done already. There's literally zero purpose on watching anything recent because the medium is dead and has been surpassed already.You are just using the>you must want to fuck spidersRetort, because like any retard who actually cares about movies, you are intellectually and creatively bankrupt.By the way, the only mention of goyslop in the entire thread was done by you.Fucking idiot lmao
>>750642543>make a movie about a thing with established source material>WHY ARE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT HAVING NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SOURCE MATERIALI'd be way more charitable to the guy if he just admitted this is his "vision" and is making something intentionally not like RE, but the fact that he hyped this fucking thing up for years saying "THIS MOVIE IS GONNA BE FOR THE FANS, I'M A GAMER AND HUGE RE FAN SO I SHOULD KNOW" and then he turns around and plays stupid pretending not to understand why people are looking at this and saying "this looks absolutely nothing like RE". Most video game movies turn out like this, but the fact that he's been lying through his fucking teeth about this movie since day one makes me especially pissed off.
>>750657839>can't spell out "jew"Figures that you would get butthurt because an anon called movies dogshit kek
>>750658053The system is still loading. Taking longer than usual......
>>750658060Yeah thats pretty much the reasoning I expect from someone who’s actually afraid of something.It’s dogshit, it has no value etc etc. I’m not scared btw. It just has no value to me I’m definitely not scared of seeing certain things on a screen. It definitely doesn’t make me too uncomfortable to handle.
Are REfags more autistic than Sonic fans? I didn't see this level of bitching and complaining about those movies
>>750658160Yeah dude, I'm sure that the 15th movie with the same cast of dysgenic zoomers is thought provoking material.
>>750658253The Sonic movies actually had fanservice despite being goyfeed. RE is just pure goyfeed.
>>750653219I know this is always bait but then why adapt the story to film? Is it just for money? Either way stop feeling bad that you like video games.
>>750658605>goyfeedThe fuck does this even mean?
>>750658253That's because Sonic's atrocious design actually worked out in their favor. Sonic fans saw the act of fixing it as good will by the studio. They didn't care about anything else.
>>750648312fun movieyou watch it a fridayyou forget that it existed by monday
>>750658803Rub your two brain cells together and figure it out.
>>750658852Thing I don't like, got it.
>>750659006You got it, Shlomo!
>>750658062And in the end the movie made a good amount of money so what does he care? It really would've been easy to just say it's his movie and hopes people like it. Angelina Jolie said that about her Lara Croft films.
>>7506590064chan has always regarded normalfags as mindless cattle but now, since the word "goy" is included, you get upset. Quite telling.
>>750659110Just stop being a fucking antisemite. It isn't hard.
>>750659110Just raised the age where you'll lose your virginity by 10 years, keep it up with with the antisemitism and we can go higher
https://youtu.be/5LAsVTzddlw?si=82X0dPGdVLH1Vlkq
>>750659170Goy isn't to insult jews.If anything, it's quite antisemitic of you to regard being a goy as something offensive. You clearly enjoy being one, so where's the issue?
>>750659270Anon, the post above yours is a joke, just like "antisemitism" in general.
>>750658762>is it just for moneyYea, they had a script lying around and a recently well received director plus a license they could acquire, not the first time resident evil got tagged on some random zombie script too, if you remember the netflix one
>>750659270I won't say the word goy in 24hrs if you can make it rain tomorrow, how about that?
>>750659170it's philosemitic though it means identifying with the chosen and seeing everyone else as retards worthy of contempt
>>750659323It's an exposure of how jews think of anyone who isn't them. The vast majority of humans don't know how kikes think, and it is inconvenient for you for them to learn it.
>>750653296Anderson's first two movies are the closest tied to the games we have now, this one could have been great and canon if it was set in 1998 and had some of the other characters from the games make a small cameo or what not, but not only is the story of the movie not tied to the game, its set in a different time period, different season and could have just been any other zombie movie
>>750642543
>>750642543so you mean like every dev that wears dead ip like a skinsuit? (bioACK)
>>750642543The sad thing is, this piece of shit movie made a half decent amount of money so they'll prolly let the narcissist faggot make another 3 piles of shit
>>750642825
>>750658253Are you retarded? Sonic fans bitched so much about the trailer they redesigned his character
>>750653296Sort of in a youtube amateur cosplay sort of way, except instead of a cool movie, we got this dipshits passion project that somebody had to slap a Resident Evil label on for no reason. It genuinely feels like that one hellraiser movie that was supposed to be a literal detective movie until New Line or whoever was like 'oh shit we gotta use this license or we lose it, uhh youre investigating the puzzle box now'
do the people who play resident evil games think the story is good or something?i play them but i've never finished a game and felt anything from it
the plot of resident evil is fucking retarded. zach did the right thing.
I'm pretty open to the film but I've not watched it yet. I really like resi but I also don't feel I need some canon piece or some bastardised shit like the OG film series. Has anyone like me watched it and have opinions?
>>750659857Theyre very fun for the action schlock that it is yes. Is it winning awards, fuck no but its completely serviceable for fuckin zombies
>>750643772if it's not opposite day, wouldn't "The right guy lived" be incorrect?
>>750660065I watched it, big fan of the games and the animated movies and outside Milla's overdiddled tits, those movies were fine for a date flick or somethingMovie was fuckin fine, no idea why anyone wants to make a movie about 'what if a literal who was in this giant thing' but whatever, i dont feel like it was very realistic for an everyman but they had to make him funny for no reason and a bumbling idiot for no reason for the audiences sake i guessThe scientists being utterly fucking retarded has no sense being there though like I get people are kinda clumsy and stupid but that was some bugs bunny shit
>>750644190cute men are always welcomegod i wanna fuck his ass so bad
>>750642825>why adapt something if you're just going ignore everything that makes people like itThe movie had everything I enjoy about RE. It perfectly channeled a lot of the vibe of the gameplay and the recurring vignettes that constantly pop up in the series. I don't get why retards care so much about focusing on the characters and story instead, especially when the series has already had a good number completely unrelated to the original cast. I assume it's just larping secondaries, because they can more easily catch that "NAME is not in the movie!!!" by just skimming a wikipedia synopsis of the games, whereas what the movie does well requires you to actually play them to appreciate.
>>750642825He said that btw, he literally said he just wanted to put resident evil on the tittle to attract more people
>>750642661>>750645152>>750642740>>750642825>>750643015Resident Evil films are at their most successful when they aren't adapting the games.The most successful film currently is the newest one, and the least successful film is the one that adapts the games.
>>750642543Well, maybe next time make an original movie instead of piggy ride some established video game brand.
>>750660538The movie had nothing to do with RE, is just a generic horror movie with resident evil on the name, because some hack got lucky enough to get the rights, the guy literary admitted he made the script before even having the rights for the franchise, and would begin production anyways if he didn't got it, he just wanted the brand for recognition, you just outed yourself as a tourist
>>750660793Way to not answer the questions.If the film was any good, then the faggots who made it wouldn't need to latch onto a popular IP, simple as.
>>750659857Modern zoomers are pozzed to shit and think everything with a story is amazing or something, I don't get it.We used to joke about RE story all the time, and now if you do that you get hoards of mindless retards jerking off to>ZOMG i'm an evil scientist that makes big monsters!!! now I'M gonna be the big monster and RAPE YOU!!!!!RE has literally only won awards for how bad its story is, its never won any best storytelling awards or anything. It's soap opera shit at best, and an unapologetic joke at worst.
>>750661107>If the film was any good, then the faggots who made it wouldn't need to latch onto a popular IP,The production companies hire people to make films, not the other way around.
>>750660538Because I wanna watch a story about an interesting person not fuckin donny dopehead
>>750661107Not him, but>popular IPwhich means that it appeals to the lowest common denominatorWhich means that normies will eat the movie up because that's what normies do.Videogame movies aren't an artistic endeavor, they are a product to make money, because normies eat that shit up.Why would they suddenly find integrity and think that using a name for markeitng purposes is beneath them?
>>750660225yes it's serviceable in the john carmack sense, but at the same time, i think that makes it very understandable why every 'adaption' has taken liberties
>>750661212>Because I wanna watch a story about an interesting personRE doesn't have that though
>>750661336In other words it's slop, so why is there even a thread on it? E-celebs are bad enough, why are we talking about e-celebs that aren't even connected to the vidya industry?
>>750660996It's always the same thing with you people. You never actually talk about the games and the films, you just spout schizo shit to try to eject out of the conversation as soon as possible.It blatantly outs you as being completely unfamiliarized with both.
>>750660996>he just wantedDo you guys think that anyone can go up to Constantine and just say "Yeah give me the film rights", they're hired to do a job retard.
>>750661212This >>750661541RE is a series made up of the gooberiest goobers that ever goobered until about 2007 made everything tryhard with the Umbrella Chronciles, and even that generally just made them even bigger goobers but in a different way
>>750642543Retard could have solved this by just giving the movie a subtitle Resident Evil: Amalgam
>>750662739>Retard could have solved this by justThis is the most successful RE film to date.
>>750662795Yeah and its also my favorite, but I see him bitching about people bitching about its faithfulness a lot. I'm saying he could have nipped a lot of that conversation it in the butt if he just gave it a subtitle
>>750642543Then maybe he shouldn't have used the brand like a fucking parasite? I don't know what to tell him. You can't have shit on your cake and eat it too.
>>750642543>The difference with Cregger is that he knows the Resident Evil games inside out, and delivered a movie that adapted the feel of the games rather than specific characters and elements of the lore.lmao wutAre they still trying to frame it like this?
There is no winning with video game movies because most games are just inspired heavily by movies in the first place and when you adapt them they just become pale imitations without the interactivity. When Uncharted got a movie everyone rightfully said it's just a bargain bin Indiana Jones because fucking guess what, the game is just Indiana Jones in the first place.
>>750649679Not wanting to go completely deaf from the gunshot. It is the kind of detail someone who comes from a place with no guns would fail to notice and think it looks dumb.
>>750642825Well of course.Nothing being shat out of modern Hollywood can stand on it's own.
>>750648305Make the character read item descriptions
>>750642543I feel bad for this dude. He got so much heat for making a decent film while the retards who made the Street Fighter movie got praised for a movie that looks like a porn parody. The new MK movie was shit too I saw it in theaters yet you don't hear anything about it. Are REfags just that stupid or do the majority of gamers want bad movies with cosplayer outfits?
>>750666404>Waah here is more slop why aren't you happy with slop?!!?!?
>>750643025>it’s a separate story in a pre-existing settingIt's not even the same setting
>>750666404If any MK movies come out and don't meet the standards set by the very first movie or second movie then nobody will say much about it.
>>750666404REfans are one of the top most insufferable, impossible to please fanbases out there only behind shit like Deltarune and Persona.
>>750665581What is weird is all the people who are RE fans that act like they haven't seen a horror movie before. I saw people saying the RE movie didn't look like the games and was just "generic horror".>>750666450Have you seen the movie? It is better than any video game movie I have seen because they are typically garbage. RE fans are fucking retards. The same people complained about Grace when RE9 was first announced because they wanted Leon or some other legacy character to do a backflip. It is a solid movie and idc if they did it during winter time and Chris doesn't pop up at the end to canonize it like the end of RE7.
>>750642825I'm fucking tired of main cast RE stories.
>>750642543everyone love the first Resident evil game and it have nothing to do with the game lmaothey even used the laser scene in like every resident evil starting to 4
>>750666882The laser hallway is the crowning achievement of all video game adaptations and it's fucking pathetic. Literally one good idea that was referenced one time and it was done far better in the game.
>>750666954The laser scene will alway be a timeless classic will Star wars 7 die off in the next decade.cope and seethe
>>750666404>I feel bad for this dude.He got paid millions to make a dogshit film, why should I ever feel bad for him?>b-b-but fans were mean...Literally just don't log on to twitter, faggot. Or even better: don't try to be a famous director if you're too much of a thin-skinned pussy bitch to handle people telling you that your low-effort slop movie was fucking terrible.>The new MK movie was shit too I saw it in theaters yet you don't hear anything about it.Because nobody gives a flying fuck about MK as a franchise anymore. RE isn't raped to death quite yet so more people are invested.
>>750667104>He got paid millions to make a dogshit filmHey, he also murdered Trevor Moore.
>>750667098>The laser scene will alway be a timeless classicThe one in RE4, yes. The one in the movie is just hilarious.
>>750642543>use resident evil name to make a movie>99% just refere to gameplay stuff>story is basically unrelated>aaaaaaaaaaa this movie dont have leon, claire, chris etc please understanddddd
>>750642543The movie was great but the only thing that bothered me was the fact everyone was using smartphones during an event that's supposed to happen in the late 90s
The only crime here is that the name should have been 'Resident Evil: Outbreak', which would have set expectations. The movie itself is very much someone's pitch for a RE2 DLC level.
>>750646814>t-they were always shitWhy do shills always pull this?If they were shit you have no business associating your shit with them in the first place you single digit IQ retard.
>>750667104>make a dogshit filmHave you seen it? It is a better movie than you retards deserve. They have made a dozen bad RE movies why is this one shit on so much? I don't get it. It made a lot of money and got critical acclaim. The only people who didn't like it are people who started the series with the remakes and mostly though streamers and youtube shorts. Myself I'd give it a 4/5 it felt very Resident Evil to me with the only significant change was setting it in winter. The rest of it could have been canon. While you watch SF or the MK movie and they made significant changes to the main characters. You either haven't haven't seen the movie or you haven't played the games I'd bet you haven't done either.
>>750667501Because they know they can't defend the product on its own terms.
>>750649778It's impossible in the sense that it'd be impossible for the ego of movie hacks to take it.Even worse if it actually turned out more popular than their embarassing auteur-slop attempts.
>>750667598Hi Zach, have fun with your eternal damnation!
>>750667181>The one in the movie is just hilarious.Did any other movie do it better? I think either Cube or Hypercube had a similar scene with razor wire and it looked just as sloppy.
>>750667689you caught me this is how I spend my time arguing with faggots on the internet while I write a draft of Weapons 2.
>>750667809At least you aren't as embarrassing as Sessler.
>>750667858Thanks I try to stay away from coke now, it isn't worth it.
>>750667598>Have you seen it?No, I realized I would never personally watch it when I saw it was written by the same drooling retard who wrote John Wick 3 and Rebel fucking Moon. I saw what a few critics I trust said about it, which confirmed everything I thought. It's shit.>They have made a dozen bad RE movies why is this one shit on so much?Because it's shit and it's the newest one, tard.>It made a lot of money and got critical acclaim.So?>The only people who didn't like it are people who started the series with the remakes and mostly though streamers and youtube shorts.I started with 1, nigger.>Myself I'd give it a 4/5That's nice sweetie.>The rest of it could have been canon.Leon shitting his pants for two hours could be canon, it would still be a terrible fuckup unwatchable movie.>While you watch SF or the MK movieWhy would I watch that garbage?>You either haven't haven't seen the movieCorrect, and I never will, partly because despite your flailing you haven't even managed to verbally articulate one actual positive quality of the film.
>>750668165>Noalright then.
>>750642543>assigned to make movie on game franchise>people warn you that its shit by the leaked script>ignore them>comes out>confirmed shit reaction to it, with millennial quips non stop, nonsensical snow because LE THE THING XDD and retarded script>NOOOO WHY ARE PEOPLE CALLING IT SHIThe had ample time to fix it, eat shit cuckgger
>>750668337Everything you make is dogshit, Zach. Imagine killing your former friend to get the chance to make this shit. You are going to the deepest circle of Hell, lmao.
>>750642543I wish it hadn't been a comedy. The horror parts were so good. The last half was fucking terrible.
>>750648305adapt the books, they are great
>>750649065Sounds jewish.
I hated the movie, everyone should have acted way happier, and with their mouths way more open.
>>750668575>Imagine killing your former friend to get the chance to make this shit.where did this schizo theory even come from?
>>750668859WKYUK podcasts after Trevor died. Zach was visibly unbothered unlike the rest of the cast, and he was there when he died. Also you did it, Zach.
>>750668930Also he gets a big goy movie director ticket right after. He fucking did it.
>>750668930>and he was there when he diedThey were miles apart and had literally just finished streaming a live D&D session, directly after which Trever drunkenly catapulted himself over his stair bannister. It sucks but for the very tall, bannisters are an actual death trap.
>>750669070At least you're failing in real time, Zach. I don't have to say anything. Your failures speak volumes.
>>750669120I'm sorry, I didn't realise that you must have recently consumed a gallon of PCP, I'll be on my way now.
>>750669263>hurr durr you're crazy sluggish schizophreniaYou're even using jewish tactics lmao. You are locked into the ninth circle of Hell.
>>750667598>Have you seen it?yes>It is a better movie than you retards deserve. They have made a dozen bad RE movies why is this one shit on so much?other movies being shit doesn't stop this from also being a shit adaptation>I don't get it. It made a lot of money and got critical acclaim.mainstream popularity does not equal quality or faithfulness>The only people who didn't like it are people who started the series with the remakes and mostly though streamers and youtube shorts.you've got it backwards. cregger himself started with the remakes.>Myself I'd give it a 4/5 it felt very Resident Evil to me with the only significant change was setting it in winter. The rest of it could have been canon.he didn't even bother to set it in the right millennium. not to mention the virus and by extent the BOWs worked and looked entirely different to the games, and the entire outbreak started because Umbrella is made up of bumbling retards who dropped the vial full of meatball virus.
>>750669027How come Jordan Peele didn't have to kill Key? Why are the jews so inconstant?
>>750669342Be that as it may, I feel it is my duty as your lawyer to inform you that by the time I finish writing this sentence it will in fact be opposite day.
>>750669381He's black. Are you really this stupid? Oh wait, you're jewish.
>>750642543maybe he shouldn't have made a shitty movie that had nothing to do with the gamesmaybe he shouldn't have killed his friend
>>750669120>failing in real timeThe movie turned profit, meaning (((they))) will let him make another, no matter how objectively bad or far divorced from the source material it was.
>>750669532>he believes the jewish numbersAnd I have a bridge to sell you.
>>750642543>I just wanted to profit off the name to get people into the cinema, how was I supposed to know the people I'd lure into the cinema would expect it to at least resemble the games they know?If you want to make a movie that doesn't play in the world of Resident Evil, don't call it Resident Evil
>>750669575>how was I supposed to know the people I'd lure into the cinema would expect it to at least resemble the games they know?It actually turned out a vast majority of people didn't give a shit, because only about 20 people on the planet care about RE's story.
>>750669359>he didn't even bother to set it in the right millennium.Fair I forgot about this but the virus didn't spread in the movie because they dropped it. That was the initial cure. I assume the Umbrella we see in the movie are just some scientists who don't know what the higher ups are up to. Almost every adaptation of anything will have changes that is just the nature of adapting something. If the movie wasn't good this thread wouldn't exist. The movie would have been forgotten about already like the amazon Yakuza show, MK 2, and the stree fighter movie that is flopping right now. >>750669418>He's black.That didn't help Dave Chappelle.
>>750669764>That didn't help Dave Chappelle.He was a bad goy and spoke about how kikes forced him into wearing a dress. That's actually why he had a mental break and went to Africa for a while.
>>750642825Hostage audiences desperate for a fix. They can't complain and the companies themselves are desperate for the extra coin. Same shit happened with Fallout.
>>750642825no see this is why you guys are really bad at discussing things, you have no concept of nuance. Resident Evil is a good movie despite it not just being a 1:1 adaptation of one of the games because the guy gets and likes the IPs. he made an original work using the framework of his enjoyment of the IP, hitting many of the same beats the games do. this isn't Uwe Boll making slop, or some netflix writer gutting an IP to write their own fanfiction but a well made and high budget fan film. Resident Evil doesn't work as well if it isn't a Resident Evil thing because the movie is a love letter to the franchise, with the twist being >What if the main character of the movie was one of the guys who writes down a memo before turning into a monsterinstead of being the guy/girl who saves the day. you guys are trying recycle discourse talking points without actually looking at the thing in question
Why bother getting upset about faithfulness to the games when the games aren't even faithful to themselves. Seriously, what is there in common between RE1 and RE9?
>>750669870OP is pretty clear, guy who made the film complains people want to talk to him about Resident Evil and don't care about the film as anything but a Resident Evil product. For someone saying nobody here knows how to do proper discourse you certainly don't know what anyone is even talking about.
>so the resident evil movie you're making, will it be like resident evil?>REEEEEEEEEE STOP TRYING TO SUPPRESS MY CREATIVE VISION
>>750669993RE9 is the closest we've gotten to a spencer mansion in quite awhile. even has the east wing/west wing split in the care center.
>>750669993We would have been spared a lot of trouble if Chris didn't pop up at the end of RE7. Who knows where the franchise could have went. Oh well back to Racoon City turns out it wasn't nuked after all it was bombed with thermobaric missile so all the buildings are fine and you can see all the key jingling references.
I never expected a 1:1 adaptation. I don't even want one, because it'll always turn to shit, like Indian Leon or scientists dancing to Lady Gaga. But at the very fucking least, be honest. The movie had absolutely nothing to do with Resident Evil. It was its own thing, and should have remained so. Slapping on the name, and adding key-jangling references from hazy recollections playing RE4 in college, was not worth the effort. Defending Cregger and the movie only shows that you're mindless consumers that'll take any shit the studios toss towards you.
>>750670043the question was>why adapt a thing that ignores what people like about the IPbut it doesn't do that. it very much understands what people like about it, and uses it in a smart way to make a good movie. the problem/misunderstanding here is that the guy I'm replying to thinks memberberries and invoking the same characters and plots is what makes the franchise good, when that only really applies to secondaries who got into the franchise via fandom. the series is very mechanically driven, so to adapt it to film one must try to adapt what you get from the ludo narrative of exploring these infested areas.
>>750669993It is a bit silly with RE. As someone who actually enjoys the storylines:>RE1 and 2 both lack a canon route>RE3 blew up the city just for fun, nothing preceding it even remotely implied this was the case or would happen (there's plenty of post-RE2 media that is pre-RE3 that asserts RC was, at best, burned down by a combination of military forces and Umbrella soldiers)>CV revives Wesker out of nowhere and turns the series into a tokusatsu>Zero just casually completely changes the geography of Raccoon City, what several characters did just before RE1, the timeline of RE1, and introduces a dozen contrivances for RE1 with what it decides to rework about Rebecca>RE4 just completely ditches the ongoing story to do something else and the series literally never recovered from this>Umbrella Chronicles rewrites every game it includes>RE5 retcons Wesker again, but this time to make him a megalomaniacal retard obsessed with purifying the world or something, when his goal prior to this point was literally just wanting money>Darkside Chronicles retcons the hell out of CV, it's basically unrecognizable>RE6 creates an in universe illuminati that never existed before this point and is never referenced again AND introduces Wesker's SON, who meets the same fate>Revelations 2 has Wesker's SISTER who literally TRANSFERS HER MIND into ANOTHER PERSON through MAGIC (viruses)>Umbrella Corps straight up revives Wesker and Capcom explicitly said that part specifically was canonAnd now the past decade has been remakes retconning everything again, with RE9 asserting them as definitive canon.
RE movies usually bomb because they focus too much on capturing the names and places, not the feel.This movie managed to capture the feeling for about the first 20 minutes before it turns into a parody of the series. If the cop lady did backflips and roundhouse kicks it wouldn't have felt out of place at all. Somehow the horror movie manages to feel less serious and immersive than le videogamey videogame Resident Evil 2 Remake, which to me is a horrendous failure and serious stain on cregger's reputation in my mind
>>750670280RE4 off screening umbrella via congress is so funny man. people act like RE plotlines should be worshipped when it's all B movie schlock at best.
>>750669573I believe in existing precedents, the numbers on Anderson's movies were just as (un)reliable and he was allowed to push out half a dozen of these abominations.
>>750670283his works are consistently not very serious though, that's just his tonal style. Barbarian has a large chunk of runtime dedicated to Jake Long's douchebag real estate ventures, and Weapon's ending is basically an entire farce with the kids ripping the old lady to bits.
>>750670406>and he was allowed to push out half a dozen of these abominationsBecause he met the requirements of his jewish overlords. Such a boring worthless faggot like Zach could never make due with his own talents.
>>750670489*justin long, dunno why I said jake lol.
>>750660793Because the ones that follow the games are garbage made by incompetent people.
>>750670283*less serious, immersive, and scary than the videogame. That last one is the most important point
>>750642543>Why are people mad about my LARPing of a RE fan and making a movie that has ZERO to do with the story of RE???My question is why is he giving the people that actually know RE attention? clearly every normoid that went to see it just for the brand recognition loved it, as it requires absolutely no knowledge of any of the games.
>>750642543Its just autism getting worse with each generation.The original Anderson RE flick had pushback too, but people weren't being this anal about it.
RE is perfectly capturable without needing a Leon or Licker or whatever. But instead we get a silly "VIDEOGAMES!" parody. Somehow I liked the movie on the way out, but the more I thought about it the days after the less I liked it. It's like a really long sketch you'd see on a youtube channel>>750670489Maybe humorous farce could be a way to mimic the RE feeling of escaping from the horror at the end, but I think the heroic victorious escape is a strong part of its identity. Cregger just isn't brave enough to play something straight I guess
>>750671152>but I think the heroic victorious escape is a strong part of its identityThe first RE movie ends with Alice and Matt being captured by Umbrella and turned into what the sequel would have as competing bioweapons.
>>750671362I haven't seen the other movies, I'm talking about the games
Done on purpose. Game companies want shitty movies.
>>750671404Cregger didn't make a game though, so what would be the point of bringing him up if not to try and poke at how a movie adaptation fails to imitate the games?
>>750671152>Cregger just isn't brave enough to play something straight I guessI dunno it doesn't come off as irony poisoned so I don't really mind it, his works do come off as genuine but he seems to genuinely like to mix levity into his work consistently. given his background in youtube it makes sense. and it isn't like a bit of cheeky fun is an unknown quantity in horror
>>750671494You're talking to the Hell-dweller himself.
>>750671556Cheeky fun is fine when it doesn't diminish important elements of the story. the whole umbrella thing was bad, it turns umbrella from this imposing mystery to unravel into a joke. If you don't want that, then don't add it. Normies won't get it and it just insults fans. the locked gate thing is far too unrealistic; the stuff with searching for ammo is great, running around the car with the zombie is great, we don't need to adapt mixing red and green herbs. I'll say it again- it feels at times like a youtube sketch turned into a movie.
>>750671858>it turns umbrella from this imposing mystery to unravel into a jokeUmbrella's always been a joke though.
>>750671152>long sketchOh my god, someone else who thought this? Unlike you though, I started hating it as soon as he threw down the ladder. That really set the tone for me for the rest of the movie. It just could not let anything breathe without suddenly trying to insert some decaprecting humor at "VIDEOGAMES" or some quirky self digs. >>750671556>doesn't come off as irony poisonedDid we watch the same movie? It can't fucking help itself for a majority of the runtime to NOT make fun of the situation in a stupid "quippy" or "haha, isn't that so stupid?!" way.
>>750671972>It can't fucking help itself for a majority of the runtime to NOT make fun of the situation in a stupid "quippy" or "haha, isn't that so stupid?!" way.So just like any game featuring Leon "where's everyone going? Bingo?" "Your right hand comes off?" Kennedy?
>>750671943Umbrella, and a lot of RE is B-movie camp. It's absurd, but it's always played straight. It's never played as a joke. The cregger movie is absolutely not camp, though I get a sense that he actually tried to do camp with the umbrella bits but failed because he doesn't get it. >>750672103I can't really avoid blaming capcom a bit for RE's reputation as "le silly leon games" considering how hard it leaned into camp in RE4. It's amazing how one game in the series has this outsized influence because of how much star power Leon has. But, to make it extremely clear to you, the answer is that camp is not the same thing as self deprecating humor. There is a difference. One manages to remain scary. The other only has value in its ability to make fun of something.
>>750672316>considering how hard it leaned into camp in RE4Buddy, RE has been all about that camp since the beginning. Do you seriously think the scriptwriters penned "the master of unlocking" and with a straight face said "yeah, this is serious shit"? The schlocky b-movie vibe has always been part of the resident evil experience.
>>750672552Did you just not read my whole post or something?
>>750672595I read it all just fine. I'm saying you're a retard for thinking 4 is when they "hard leaned it into camp".
>>750672103The difference between saying a one liner in the games and what the RE movie does is sincerity. A pretty fucking clear nuance, so clear to me that it makes me very confused about why people keep spouting like it's a "GOTT'EM" defense for the movie when it's just a sign that the people who said it have no idea about what they're talking about and are actual clapping seals instead of human beings.
>>750672763>What? I'm not a sperg at all! I'm actually an intelligent individual, you are all clapping seals!
>>750659356>>is it just for money>YeaThat's fine. Then he should enjoy the money and not be frustrated when fans call it out for not being what the title advertises.
>>750642543>it totally takes place in Raccoon City during the events of the games bro>snow>smartphones
>>750672835I mean, I am a sperg. I will be the first to admit it. It's kinda a requirement for someone to have these issues with the movie. You have to be honest about what you love, in a sort of otakuish way, and that kind of behavior means you have some sperg in yourself. The movie's writing reeks of someone who writes things with a perception of public coolness instead of showing off what they "love" and that kind of dichotomy just seemed really clear to me. Sorry that you don't get that.
