I mean, I was content with the Gametoys Cloud and the now updated Super Duck Tifa. I have the core cast and Sephiroth in the PAK line and have DoC Vincent and AC Cid as well. Yuffie, Jessie (with bike to go with ver.1 of Remake Cloud) and Red XIII are waiting for release.

I’m good if I don’t get the Gametoys Sephiroth. Honestly, all that pleather is meh. I cancelled the Premier Toys Mad Max figure because of it. I’ll eventually have to have Raven make belts for all of the potentially rotted figures I have. I’d rather have something inaccurate than rotted.
I see he's hovering around $400 if you get him from China.

I think I kind of thought a way for WTRC's Leon to sorta work. We can keep him with the hangover in his intro scene but show he's not just hungover, but severely late for his first day. As he get's ready for work have him look into his wallet and rip up some sort of photo of him with a girl (supposed to reference his origin in the PS1 game). We can still have some comedy scenes between him and Irons but also add in some more serious scenes too. Maybe add one where he says something along the lines "I never thought I'd see the day when a top of the academy rookie is reduced to a pile of dirt" or something. Anything to display that Leon is not just some incompetent cop but just out of his element after his breakup. And then just make his character have more spotlight moments. Maybe have him suggest going to the Arklay Mansion to meet up with Alpha Team and also just make him less of a fucking idiot. Also just give him the two block haircut and shave his face. I have it and it's not hard to style plus it would just look better. Don't need to dye his hair or give him eye contacts. I'm gonna think of how to fix the other characters later but just a thought I had while watching the movie again

In the SD Perry novel, I think she had him arrive late which is why he shows up in uniform. He was supposed to be in a motel outside of town. I should reread those at some point. I think it was her that invented Spencer or Capcom told her to put his name in it because I never heard Lord Oswell E. Spencer until that book. It came out in 98, way before RE5.

I really despise this movie. Not just because I like the Alice ones, yes they have a lot of flaws and yes, the final chapter was crap but this movie is worse! I’ve discussed it on social media, groups and idk how people or fans of the series liked this abomination called “resident evil”. Terrible writing, script, pacing, second act that dragged, pointless references/Easter eggs, poorly written characters, rushed third act. Scenes jumped from scene to scene you couldn’t even breath or even get attach to a part because it jumped from Chris/Richard to Jill/Wesker and Claire/Leon. Crappy cgi, making Claire unlikeable, Jill wanting to bone Wesker even though he had zero interest and seem like some depressed jock… no good backstory to Umbrella or Raccoon City besides them leaving, how was the virus created, how it was leaked besides there’s something in the water crap, the residents slowly turning into mutants rather than zombies. I can keep going but I’m sure we’ve seen plenty. Every review I’ve seen on YouTube from movie goers or RE channels/gamers hated this movie.

Of all the movies, Apocalpyse and Degeneration are as good as you'll get. I don't mind Damnation that much since it's like Bond movie in Eastern Europe and I love the giant Mr. X's and how it took a tank round to the face, and the other two got turned to paint from the A10s.

Vendetta is just hot garbage, but I like Leon's outfit. They didn't even bother with Rebecca's and just repurposed her STARS gear.

I’m waiting for the coward Johannes to release a statement about this flop of a movie. Since he “rescheduled” his ask me anything on Reddit. lol

I think what kinda annoys me about the movie is that I do like all the actors in the movie and I especially enjoy seeing that rookie cop guy but I FUCKING DESPISE that his name is "Leon. S. Kennedy." Irons and Leon's interactions are probably the most entertaining part of the movie yet it feels so out of place with how serious the Arklay sections are.

Plus, if the actors aren’t going to look like the game characters at least make them act like them. Or both… he didn’t want cosplayers but if it wasn’t for them saying their names you wouldn’t know that was Jill/Wesker the only that looked the part was Chris but even he didn’t get to shine because the movie jumped from scene to scene. Plus, all the characters idk if it was the script had ZERO chemistry and they almost looked awkward.

RE1-3 lore has be very consistent for years with very minor retcons. RE is one of the few series that loves it's own history. To change character's race, outfits, relationships, and overall plot is why the film failed. No wonder this asshole is ducking Reddit.

It's surprising it's gotten as much hate as it has and it's almost unanimous on the reasons why.

At least Paul never baited fans of the games by saying it’s a very faithful adaptation of the games. It’s more insulting that Johannes basically lied and spat on the fans by making this abomination of a movie.

It’s not even a good movie, zombie movie or resident evil movie. But you should see all the WtRC white knights coming to its defense even some RE groups have denied any negative reviews because you can’t hate on it but when it comes to the Alice ones it’s fair game.

Yeah, that's exactly it. He never tried to portray it as something else and the trailers were always upfront about it. You get some cameos, but they're Alice films.

They were doing that shit all over Instagram and now much of it is the other way. I don't see it advertised anymore either lol.

That's one reason why I'll never lose sleep over the Anderson films. Funnily enough there's an argument that they were more faithful in some aspects like looks, some elements and such. It probably helped with making RE more main stream with the first few films too, which I think this new film and its likely sequels will never do.

Yeah, there may be some retcons but it usually isn't significant or huge in the grand scheme. I think the destruction of Raccoon City is one of the more notable retcons but it's only with how many died, and how publicly known it is. I thought how it was publicly seen in-universe would matter, but for all the story issues I take with RE, it's not that bad. The characters are usually fine too, so this was bad. Like I said with the Anderson films, they got the looks down well and their traits too. Some would argue Wesker and Ada not actually dying could count, but this is a series about the living dead and in Wesker's case, it worked good.
In terms of the hate, I still haven't seen anyone praising it in my circle. I expected some of my post-RE7 friends to like it but they really didn't.

You can see through the series, specifically the first 5-6 games that they're all very much married to each other since many of the BTS creators spilled into the next game and it never tarnished the previous game. Zero retconned Rebecca's journey to the mansion, but one could argue it's not even canon at this point anyway. It isn't like they opted to retcon that years after RE1 when they were originally developed Zero for N64.

I got a tracking number from kit. I'll need to take off that day since my wife's got a new job and these jerkoffs just leave shit on the step since Covid gives them all the lazy excuse. We've had so much shit stolen from Amazon.
