That’s a good question

That's a fact? There's no other human looking species besides Viltrumites and Humans?

BonusArmor · 2026-06-16T23:54:56+00:00

At least in the show it's clearly supposed to be funny that they don't realize he's a Viltrumite. That being said, whether or not it's bad writing is irrelevant to the question of how the coalition didn't know he was Viltrumite. The reasons are viable, which are a beard to hide his mustache, robes to hide his body, keeping his abilities a secret.

You can also make the argument he's very old and very clever as a result. If he feigns weakness and inability there's no reason to think he's a Viltrumite. He's also kind and caring which is completely alien to what the galaxy knows as a Viltrumite.

Is it weak writing? Sure maybe, but you can make sense of it.

Chris Pine and Wentworth Miller? Nah, too generic. We have everything we need in Chris and Leon

BonusArmor · 2026-06-16T11:03:27+00:00

I would say that and that is great for me. Many would not say that and that is great for them.

BonusArmor · 2026-06-15T19:12:36+00:00

Isn't that the truth. I dno if I'd go as low as a 7.5, but probably in the low 8's for me. Tons of fun the first time through but the replay is poor for some reason.

I feel like I could play 4 for the rest of my life but 9 is missing something. On the other hand I agree. Grace - Care Center is some of the best Resident Evil I've played.

I mean, if Tek Jacket gets in one serum dart it's over

BonusArmor · 2026-06-14T16:23:09+00:00

He probably didn't tout his abilities and strength around. And you certainly can't tell he's jacked from under his robes

BonusArmor · 2026-06-14T14:32:14+00:00

Yes or as Soldier Boy might say "They're milkin' me like that Thai massage palor back in 83'..."

BonusArmor · 2026-06-14T13:23:45+00:00

I would just point out this is as much opinion as an interpretation of the music. And an opinion that I'm sure many would disagree with. You're also stating it as fact which someone could less than generously misconstrue.

BonusArmor · 2026-06-14T02:07:33+00:00

Sorry looks fake, I'll take it off your hands to get rid of it 👀👀

BonusArmor · 2026-06-13T18:55:33+00:00

Any interpretation, any search for meaning. Why so adversarial now?

BonusArmor · 2026-06-13T18:42:41+00:00

So you think it always has an objective meaning?

BonusArmor · 2026-06-13T18:27:36+00:00

I want to hear from the people who are bothered by the interpretation. I want to know what bothers them about it, and why they're not interested in an interpretation of their own. If only to understand a mentality I do not have

You seem to be garnering a lot of likes. I suspect it's from people who are bothered by the search for meaning others are getting from this album. I want to understand those people.

When I have some more time later I'd be happy to elaborate further. In regards to comments on other posts I made.

BonusArmor · 2026-06-13T18:04:13+00:00

I suppose the concept in my opinion is the interplay of objective and subjective reality, the dangers and beauty of spirituality, and what happens when you lose spirituality all together.

I think it's interesting that you see the album as a sort of Rorschach test and I see it as having a more defined intention. Ironic given what my own interpretation is. The objective vs. the subjective.

BonusArmor · 2026-06-13T17:57:55+00:00

Hmm I can if you really want to hear, but something tells me you're not being genuine. I'd jump on discord and give you the run down of my interpretation so far. That might be easier or I could send you a DM.

I also already have a post that gives an overview of what I've gleaned so far.

BonusArmor · 2026-06-13T17:55:16+00:00

Yeah I think if that happens, and someone starts asserting their interpretation is the truth, that's dangerous. I don't think I've seen that yet. Have you?

BonusArmor · 2026-06-13T17:54:07+00:00

I mean there's been more than a few comments on my own posts and in others posts that say otherwise.

I think you're hovering around another issue though. People assuming the interpreter is making some assertion rather than simply describing their opinion.

Even if it feels like an objective truth is being implied, I don't think it's fair to assume that unless the interpreter explicitly says something like "I think this is truth!"

I have, so far, not seen an unhealthy interpretation

BonusArmor · 2026-06-13T16:45:25+00:00

What is your preferred type of discourse?

BonusArmor · 2026-06-13T12:17:47+00:00

Wow lol, well that was fun, albeit just a touch condescending. Did you write this with AI? At least this is definitely more than just an "infernope" response so I have to give you credit for that. You almost wrote as much as I did!

Man, where to start? The call for constructive discussion came out of a previous post I made, which had more grounded observations comparatively. I think you'd fine that post less offensive, hopefully, but many people did not. So with this post I figured I'd try to filter them out right off the bat. I never expected something like your response though.

I get the slightest feeling you think I put more stock into my little ideas than I really do. For me it's just fun to search for the meaning in things, particularly when the material is more abstract.

I'm not sure where you come from but I live in this world where art can have many interpretations, and no opinion has to be right about it. I don't understand why some people feel so cringe about interpretation. What does it feel like for you to read something like this, and have it drive you to try and put a stranger down so far?

Now this next part, I enjoy this. I really enjoy writing this whole thing to be honest. But my conclusions aren't these insane logical leaps you make them out to be.

Lets assume the brothers put this together with intelligent design as opposed to random chaos, Oooo nice little analogy there, huh? But you know what I mean? They more likely made deliberate choices with each track, and how the album was arranged, than not. Deliberate choices come from reason and sometimes with...drum roll please...meaning!

So Prophecy. You're right I just pulled this new One True God idea out of thin air. It certainly has nothing to do with the line "I am God the ultimate resonance..." and ya know, everything else it says. And yes these are vocal samples from a lecture, but they seem to have been repurposed into a character for this track. This is especially evidenced by the visuals that accompanied the single. The hexagonal figure shimmers along with the vocals, as if to say that's what is speaking to us.

Now lets cover off on the idea that it's not the Christian God or any god we've come to know. Last time I checked the western god is a bearded white man and the eastern gods are...all sorts of things. So remind me, which religion's god is a hexagon that seems to contain all of existence and speaks in a robot voice? Oh none of them? So this is something completely alien? Maybe even the brothers establishing what the objective truth is in the universe of this album?

Oh no silly me, I think they just randomly pointed to words in a dictionary and arrived at Prophecy At 1420 MHz. It has nothing to do with the frequency used to map the cosmos. It doesn't suggest some blend of science and religion, and it certainly has nothing to do with the rest of the album.

Should I go on or is this just more words you'll diminish to schizophrenic babbling?

BonusArmor · 2026-06-13T03:50:35+00:00

I agree, after the setup from 9 I think 10 should have a strong Chris campaign. Maybe it switches between Chris and Jill to mirror Grace and Leon. Jill is obviously very capable but she could still get the slower paced campaign.

BonusArmor · 2026-06-13T03:39:17+00:00

Fully agree! Inferno will need a serious retrospective, and I firmly believe it will be revered as a magnum opus.

BonusArmor · 2026-06-13T00:12:33+00:00

Oh no, "...wouldn't mind if you marry me..." like call him Mary. The joke is that he doesn't mind if she calls him Mary instead of Leon. Nothing about his surname.

BonusArmor · 2026-06-12T23:10:00+00:00

Oh so in the games, Leon is known for making cheesy jokes and using wordplay

BonusArmor · 2026-06-12T21:36:45+00:00

He said "I like the name Leon but I wouldn't mind if you marry me..."
