The RESIDENT EVIL Discussion Topic: Degeneration in Dec.!

Gotcha covered:



She's supposed to be under government custody.

Further looking into it:


Seems they're keeping her around because of her involvement and direct contact with the G-Virus. On the other hand, they'd have killed her if Leon said no.

SO...

Leon "sharply replied", "yes." and that meant that Sherry was taken care of, though again, we never found out how she was taken care of.

He becomes a government agent, which leads him to RE4.

...completely forgot about that epilogue.

That seems to connect a whole lotta dots.

But which is canon, the RE3 epilogues, or Wesker's Report, which came out after RE3? Did Wesker's Report retcon Sherry's fate? Is she in government custody, or is she in Wesker's hands? Personally I think Sherry has been with Wesker since RE2, and he's been experimenting on her (much like he did with Lisa Trevor).

Here is Wesker's Report for those that haven't seen it: http://youtube.com/watch?v=t4B73kJd0WA

That's a big "What If?" - If Sherry's with the government, then she's obviously been experimented on. However, if she's with Wesker....then it could be that he has a team of people recruited.....like Metal Gear's Fox Hound.

Which also brings something else into the mix: Does HUNK somehow fit into this? Remember, his story isn't deviant - the G-Virus was given to Umbrella or Wesker, at the end of his scenario. Then, his appearance in RE4...sure, he's just a mercenary, and a cult favorite, but everything has a reason. Is he on Wesker's side?

Now, let's put this into perspective: Chris is somewhere in Haiti trying to quell a massive riot, which just happens to involve a new kind of plaga of some sort.

THat woman in the catsuit, in the "test tube", could be anyone, but it lends itself to the idea that it HAS to be Sherry. Who else from RE's past would have reason to join Chris in his endeavor?

It's possible Jill, Becky, Barry, Leon, Steve, and someone else will have cameo appearances, but wouldn't Sherry's inclusion be the big surprise? Could you imagine the possibilities of her inclusion?


About Wesker's Report: Anyone else hear that Wesker calls Super Tyrant X "Birkin"? That makes it a bit....loose in my eyes.



at around 16:45 - 17:00....wierd, ain't it? But yes...it does lend to the idea that Sherry is under Wesker's care....and if she's in a test tube, NOT under protective custody, then that'd mean Wesker has her.

I don't think she'll mind....

THough if you look at it carefully, the epilogues and Wesker's Reports are sort of parallel - we know what Wesker did to save Ada, but never saw this happen(RE:UC will supposedly show it), and we know he took the kid(Code Veronica), and it was believed Sherry was in proper custody because Claire never talks about her later(if she did I missed it in CV:X).

I seriously wouldn't be surprised if this time around, Wesker used everyone he's captured on the S.T.A.R.S.....Think about it: Steve, Hulk form, chasing you down in the jungle? It'd be an interesting concept, but it detract too much from the main game.

According to CAPCOM, their continuity doesn't reflect that of the games, and the characters they presented, although proper and good in their own right, were either "demoted" in favor of Alice or misused.

Anderson was able to get them right, I think, for Extinction by using Wesker and keeping him as this shadowy background figure who oversees Umbrella's handywork.

Jill was also dead-on, however, killing off Carlos was a no-no.....the guy's alive in the games' storyline, and is an integral part of Jill's story.

Also, I don't think the games at ANY point allude to the virus's total outbreak, to the point of humankind's seemingly total extinction(hence the name of the movie).

Now, i understand the movies were based on an alternate timeline from the games, so maybe those details don't really matter, but to the fans, those details mean a lot.

Plus....Mulcahey ruined a cool-looking fight between Nemesis and Alice with his innovative seizure-cam....CAPCOM would love to rectify that.

In all seriousness, CAPCOM just wants in on Square-Enix's newfound moviemaking skills....and they figure by making a movie their way, they can acheive some great stuff....

[Dr Kain]

The movies have nothing to do with the games though, so there is no quarrel with what they changed.

Oh, and Carlos in the movie died some time later. We do not know what happened to Carlos after RE3.
