Re: Resident Evil 5 (movie)
I did some thinking today about Alice and her role in the RE movie universe. To people who hate her, Do you think the series would have flowed better without her?
The Resident Evil games alternate their lead characters, which could confuse casual movie goers. For example. If Chris/Jill lead the first movie, and Leon/Claire did on the second (continue through every game), quite a bit of the audience would wonder and B!t(h about the leads not coming back.
Paul made a main character whose story interacts with each of the VG characters; this eliminates the problem that could have been created. I thought of it from this perspective. There's a rookie villian turned heroine, who meets the icons, while growing into the role she was destined for.
To the casual audience, changing the main character would throw things off like Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift did to its franchise (2 fast 2 furious nearly did also).
Still, I think Alice needs to turn evil and be killed by the lead characters of the games, as a way of "passing the torch" to the TRUE heroes of RE. If they left her good through the 6th movie and she defeats the last villian, then...
I think the next two movies should not try to include things like Spiders, Sharks, and Snakes. It should stick to creatures that are unique to RE. Im referring to creatures that you wouldn't see horror movies based on by themselves...(Spiders, Spiders 2...I think that's what they're called, Eight Legged Freaks, Deep Blue Sea, Jaws, Shark Night, Snakes on a Plane, Anaconda 1, 2,3 blah blah). It needs things from RE like:
Chimera
Hunters
Crimson Heads
Alexia
William Birkin
Tyrant
I hope my post made at least a little bit of sense. I'm tired.
