About Netflix's newresidentevil.
You played the game. You defeated a tall womanYou chased Milla Jovovich through six movies. Let's explore this universe again. The
live-actionResident Evilseries will take place in two timelines, 2022 and 2036. This past timeline focuses on 14-year-old half-sisters Jade (Tamara Smart) and Billy (Siena). Agdon). When their father Albert Wesker (Lance Reddick) took them to New Raccoon City, he promised that their life would be a heavenly utopia. If Umbrella Corporation is working closely with the city, why not? But the more Jade and Billy learn about their father's work and Umbrella Corporation, the darker their future.
Speaking of 2036, it's an apocalypse as usual. On this timeline, Jade Wesker (Ella Balinska) stands as one of the 15 million humans left in this world destroyed by zombies. Her only goal is to survive. But when the mystery surrounding her sister and her father draws her in, she may discover some secrets that were never intended to see the light of her day.
is connected to the newResident Evil video game. The creator of the
seriesAndrew Dabb has confirmed to EWthat this new series will use the same myths as the game. "The game is behind us. Everything that happens in the game is in this world," Dabb said.
So, one day in this world, 2021Resident Evil Village: "You may not be there until Season 5, but that's our world. It's in, "Dub said. "The village is a resource we can use because we are discussing the script for Season 2."
After the Jovovich movie took the source material and used it in its own way, we It is exciting to know that you are finally getting a more faithful adaptation. It also looks pretty terrible. However, there is one obvious problem with this reboot. It's Dr. Albert Wesker.
Dr. Wesker is a big part of theResident Evilgame. He appeared in the firstResident Evilas captain of the Raccoon City Police Special Tactical Rescue Team (S.T.A.R.), later revealing that he was also a researcher. He is considered one of the major villains of this franchise and has appeared or mentioned in 11Resident Evilgames so far. Dr. Wesker is usually the person who pulls the strings from behind the scenes. He comes from Thanos thought and believes that the mass extinction of mankind has been purified and modern humans have evolved as much as possible. Therefore, a small amount of chemically induced nudge is needed. This mad scientist has done a lot in this universe, from forging his death to ultimately acquiring his own superhuman abilities. Keep in mind that there was always a problem when Dr. Wesker stepped into the scene until he lost to Chris Redfield in Resident Evil 5.
So what's wrong? I don't know how Jade and Billy fit into this story. In the game, we know that Dr. Wesker has an illegitimate child. He was also responsible for an experiment known as Project W to move humanity forward with children. Each of these 13 subjects took his name and became a child in a very disturbing way. However, none of those "children" were named Jade or Bill.
According to Dabb, everything has an answer. "If you know the game, Wesker is dead. He was blown up by a volcanic rocket launcher-the way we all want to go," Dub said. "I don't want to give too much, but the explanation of why Wesker is like him and he's still alive is closely related."
isResident Evil Hazardis connected to a movie or anime.
Netflix's new series has nothing to do with theatrical films, except for the fact that both universes revolve around zombies and Umbrella Corporation. However,Infinite Darkness
Since the animated series is done on the video game timeline and the live-action series uses the same timeline, It is no exaggeration to say that InfiniteDarknessis a canon. But that doesn't mean you need to play nine mainstream games and watch the adaptations of this anime in order to understand theResident Evilshow. As long as you have a healthy appreciation for zombies and monsters, you must be golden.
