Jill is so mean spirited in RE3R and...I don't get it. Carlos was FAR better to the point where it's more noticeable when they interact; I'd actually not blame RE3R Jill for being the way she is to RE3 Carlos at times, it'd make more sense. They kept Leon and Claire's traits pretty well so why was Jill cranked up to jack ass levels?
Yelling suck it to Nemesis might of been the most cringe, feminist mouthpiece shit ever in a video game. She undeservingly yells the classic "you want STARS?" line at almost the beginning of the game. Fuck off with that shit. In the original, Nemesis was pounded into hamburger from the rail gun and she says it during the killing blow.
Jill in the original, while a different VA, had the same warmth the one in RE1 had. Although she's more fleshed out in Nemesis since she had way more dialogue and you get to understand who she is while being almost one dimensional in RE1. Although REmake fixed that, even with the same dialogue. I tend to think RE3 is probably the best execution of any of the main protagonist's outings. In the sense it was that the game is specifically built for the character, and not the other way around and does it very well. She carries the game with her design first, but her as a character is the other high point in it. Look at the other games of that era. Can you think of another main character that stands out from the game their in more than Jill does in RE3? It's another reason why I like it the best of the series.
Although to give examples of other characters that sorta have this air about them would be Zero being a top to bottom, Billy game more or less. Don't get me wrong, I like Rebecca. But in terms of the mechanics, it's in the player's favor and nature to always play as Billy since he's the meatshield and he acts like Clint Eastwood. That game's biggest problem is both the characters barely even talk to each other, like RE2R. The other would be Claire in CV as she like Billy, is the real main character in that and stands out from Chris.
While Leon is right in there in terms of having such an iconic design that made him such a fan favorite male, Jill has always been tied with him as the favorite female lead in every poll since forever.
Claire while her design was abysmal, and her face model being ugly compared to the actual model she's based on, was very much in tune and not out of the bounds of how Claire should act. Leon was fine too, although he had a very weak voice actor. I'm not crazy about Ada but it's not terrible. I liked Annette's a lot. Gave him some depth and not just a grieving widow, and I liked how she was proactively trying to sabotage Birkin.
But yeah, Carlos was done surprisingly well in the remake and objectively better than the original. Although I still find his hair in that ridiculous. The guy they based him on is bat shit insane if you've seen his instagram. Another one like the Jill model that's desperately trying to ingratiate themselves into the RE fandom and it's just cringe.
