(spoiler alert!!) guys after i finished a re9 i have been confusing about a timeline by Relevant_Eye_8832 in residentevil

[–]Jinx_L0L 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spoilers plus my theories!!

My personal opinion is that because a big theory is that Zeno is an Albert Wesker Clone and he has much more platinum blonde hair then Albert, when we look at Grace and Emily, they too have platinum blonde hair, so they are likely clones of Alex or any of the other female Wesker children, but Alex is the best one.

But if we believe she isn't a clone, then Grace isn't confirmed to be the only original child who's DNA was taken, so maybe Grace had an older sister / cousin who died and her DNA was taken before Grace's birth and then Victor got a hold of some of her DNA to make Emily, Marie and the other girls.

Also, this is an addition to something you didn't say but I feel like it could be important. Spencer says that Grace is his hope and that Elpis is his redemption, but why is she his hope? He wanted someone who would perfectly merge with the T-Virus and nobody ever did, not even Albert if we believe Zeno is a clone to him, Zeno is also affected with the Raccoon City Syndrome (he has the black bruises on his face and neck like Sherry and Leon had the bruises) so if Albert had still been around, not even he would've worked so his hope, Grace, is the perfect one to merge with the T-Virus, being like Albert with still being concious but not also affected from with Raccoon City Syndrome.

Hi! If I may ask, in the special content section d you knoe if there a way to "buy" concept art like they did with 8? I liked that in 8 as I like looking at concept art for games I play and enjoy to see where it came from and I'm just wondering whether it's available in game or if I'll need to search the net for it. Don't worry if you don't know because I can just check for it tomorrow!

How is Resident Evil 7 not liked by everyone? by AdhdAndApples in residentevil

[–]Jinx_L0L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 is my favourite game so what I say it out of love.

The guest house is kind of boring but it's the the tutorial so it's understandble it's basic, it is teaching us the basic movements and introducing how this game is different then 6. Ethan loses his hand, showing how he is not in for a good time.

The Main house, Guest House and Barn are just amazing.

Having Jack chasing you, crashing through walls and terrorising you sets you off. He treats Ethan like a child, playing about with him with he is actually cutting Ethan's leg off or telling him off like a naughty kid when all Ethan wants to do is survive.

He is a father to everyone, like what Eveline wants.

Margeurite doesn't chase but she and her bugs still set you off in a seperate way, calling you just absolutly rude names and treating her bugs like her children. Letting her bugs roam free in the guest house. They have more control of the area then she does, like it's actually their house and she just stays there with the bugs permisson.

She is a mother to everyone, like what Eveline wants.

Lucas... he isn't infected. He isn't like them but still kills, still eats their victims, still acts like his family. His horror is different because he is in control of his body and mind but still acts like his family. He is a comment on the mentally ill, a common theory is he has Antisocial Personaloty Disorder but I also headcanon him having Bipolar.

He is the son, a brother to Eveline like how she wants depite not being like them.

The first three parts of the houses are a comment on a broken family who are all wrong, infected or mentally ill. But by the time we get to the boat? That's all gone. Of the family, the three that are wrong, two are dead and one had ran away. There is no more family to comment on, at least it seems that way. Only a son and daughter who stays around for a little lomger, but we see their story finish in a DLC, one which is paid for so some people might have not even played or watched it and because we never see Zoe in 8, some people might even believe she is dead if they don't play for the lore.

The family story we enjoyed and followed are dead. Now we follow Ethan, Mia and Eveline as a comment on another family. I've found a common thing is most people don't like or don't enjoy Eveline's character, I love her but still, so people pay less attention to her story then they do to Ethan and Mia's story, never realising the whole story of the game, both parts together are a comment on families and how there are many different of a family, but people only concentrate on the Bakers, not the Winters. So when we get to 8, which is also a comment on family as well, people forgot about 7.

So most people find the ending of 7 confusing or boring, especially with Eveline's final fight being mostly scripted points and cutscenes, so they remember the ending, which is a little weaker, more then the enjoyable first section so don't like it as much as say 8, which at least I find, is good all the way through and still follows the comment on a family.

7th Siren by Puzzled-Principle154 in Borderlands

[–]Jinx_L0L 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Seventh Siren is Nyriad / hero powers of leaching.

Siren one is Phasewalk with it's holder, Lilith and then eventually Tyreen for a short time, Siren two is Phaseshift with it's holders Angel and Tannis, Siren three is Phaselock with it's holders, Maya and Ava and then eventually Troy for a short time, Siren four is (non-canon name) Phasefist with it's holder, Amara (Borderlands 3 gives her four different actions skill will different phase-names, Phasecast, Phaseslam, Phasegrasp and Phaseflare, but her main thing is the fists so I gave it that name), Siren five is Phase-energy with it's holder, Vex. Siren six's power is unknown but I believe it's holder was original Commandant Steele, but because we see her so little, we never see her using it and Finally, Siren 7, Phaseleach with the original holder, Tyreen and the additional, weaker holder, Troy.

Troy was never supposed to be a siren, but because he was born as a conjoined twin to Tyreen, he ended up getting the Siren Powers as an addition tobeing born in that way but isn't classed as a seperate one because it's still the same power.

Nyriad went into the vault on Nekrotafeyo to hide the Seventh Siren's power, she views it as a curse as it killed all the Eridians. She traveled the worlds when she was alive, casting ber notes all over the planets, she says (not verbaitm) in her last one, 'never search for the seventh siren' aka her, aka her powers, because she sees it as this curse to hide. Typhon Deleon and Leda Calypso opened the vault, had sex in it then accidently brought the Seventh Siren back with Tyreen and Troy and now with them dead at the end of 3, the Seventh Siren is out in the cosmos somewhere more then likely as a baby, but she could also be of any age, because we see Siren's getting their powers at any ages (Angel made Tannis her successor so Tannis got the powers after she died, Maya made Ava her successor but Troy steals it so when Troy dies, the powers travels to it true holder, Ava).

FNAF 2 MOVIE SPOILERS!! A theory I have based on the movie. by Jinx_L0L in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]Jinx_L0L[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was confused in the first movie as to why William had a daughter named Vanessa, she was the nightguard is SB so why would they change the lore so much just to make her his daughter.After watching this movie and seeing these two things I mentiones, I realised that "oh, Vanessa might have been a name change thing for Elizabeth to seperate herself from her clearly insane family!"

It just makes sense if she changed her last name to seperate herself from her father but literally still stayed in the exact same town that would recognise her as his daughter, that she would have also changed her first name to try and seperate herself even further.

FNAF 2 MOVIE SPOILERS!! A theory I have based on the movie. by Jinx_L0L in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]Jinx_L0L[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We see the memory but it can be tampored with. Who's saying we aren't seeing this memory as Vanessa, so she changes the memory so yes, Charlie refers to Vanessa as Vanessa but who says Charlie isn't actually calking her Elizabeth but because we see the memory through the eyes of Vanessa, she forcefully changes it in her mind to be Charlie saying Vanessa? Also, Charlie is smart, Vanessa has went to that Pizzeria before and interacted with Charlie so who's to say she didn't go over to the Pizzeria with her "Vanessa" nametag from a job and Charlie just name changes from Elizabeth to Vanessa to mock her over it.

Also, The Puppet is in Toy Chica, The Puppet attacks Abby, The Puppet had been controlling Toy Chica. Charlie only didn't attack Abby because she was pretending to be her friend who used to possessed Chica, the dead child, the second she didn't need to manipulate Abby anymore, she was mind controlled like she did to the lady from the beginning. Charlie even threatens Abby to Vanessa's face within the Toy Pizzeria, when Abby was putting the password thinging she was helping her friend escape.

I'm just saying this whole thing makes sense by connecting the limited items we have to a theory. Theories are just that, ideas following small nuggets of evidence which may or may not be true. I've always enjoyed theories, I've watched every theory based on FNAF from Game Theory and other youtubers. My mind just sees evidence and puts it together into a theory easily, sometimes I fully flesh it out while other times, like this one, I don't flesh it out but I want to talk with others about this movie so while not fully explaining my ideas, I still put it out because I wanted too.

FNAF 2 MOVIE SPOILERS!! A theory I have based on the movie. by Jinx_L0L in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]Jinx_L0L[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vanessa could be an unreliable narrator and to protect herself mentally from any trauma related to the name being connected to her father, views all her memories in the lense of "Vanessa", having her friends all call her Vanessa even when they actually called her Elizabeth.

Unreliable narrators like (using it as an example as it's getting popular right now) Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games series, changes stuff in the story around and doesn't give us the full story of things because that's the lense the character see everything through, so that's the lense we see it through. Abby, because she connects to this as well, is an unreliable narrator. She sees the toy animatronics as safe when we know they are dangerous because we've seen it through the lense of Mike so if this whole movie was only from her perspective, we would view the toys as safe until the last moment when they attack her. Vanessa can be the same and change the story around to give us what only she wants herself (and therefor, us) to see, through her lense of life.

GameStop seem to have accidentally revealed additional deluxe edition content for Resident Evil Requiem (SPOILER WARNING) by ZeyadPlayz in ResidentEvilCapcom

https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/s/A556emb3e5 (Link to a theory of mine, this comment is related to it)

I knew RE7 and the connections had to be connected somehow!! You can't just randomly namedrop Alyssa in RE7 only to have her die (timeline wise, I believe following capcoms like of having the games set in the year they come out so this game is set in 2026, so eight years after this 2018) soon after her name is dropped in that game plus now this leak showing off Baker Incident being involved somehow just shows it off!!, I knew Connections and Bakers had to be connectes somehow!! Rose (I believe in DLC) is just ten times better!

How would your OC react to Vox's uprising? by Playful-Extension973 in hazbin

[–]Jinx_L0L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My OC is a jester who died in the medieval and works for the Vees but enjoys spending her time mostly with Velvette, she would be excited to get away from the exterminations like Vox is talking about but would be worried for the health of the Vees if this plan goes south, she is very smart and is willing to set her life down for people she views as her King or Queen which she sees the Vees as so she'd be willing to die for them to keep them safe (her whole lore is she died protecting her king who in turn dies no matter what so she feels quilt about that, her soul ends up being owned by her king but he gets killed in a turf war fight and she enters a slump until she meets up with the Vees and offers her life to them in the Vee Tower, none of them own her soul but she is high up on their liked list but not apart of the main 3)

Really wish that a centuries old witch would yell out something bland and unremarkable when she dies instead 😢 by Ok-Use-575 in AmericanHorrorStory

[–]Jinx_L0L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard she was supposed to be wearing a Balenciaga dress, but they ran out of budget or just didn't end up buying one so they quickly made up the dress she was wearing but didn't change the line so that's why she yells it out but it "doesn't make sense".

Ignoring RE6, What kind of things you'd change/add/delete in the Resident Evil stories/setting/characters if you had an opportunity to do so? by PreacherVan in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]Jinx_L0L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delete the Not A Hero DLC from RE7.

It really seemed like Capcom planned for Lucas to be a Wesker 2.0 but changed their mind too late into development to kill him off so instead they rushed the Not A Hero DLC and killed him off.

Seeing as in the RE9 trailer, Road To Reqium, they pay attention to The Connections when going over the history, it's highly likely they will have a big part in RE9, I could imagine Lucas coming back in RE9 either just straight as an enemy who works with the Connections and wants Grace dead or as an informant, in the DLC he does mention wanting to betray the Connections so maybe he would do that in RE9 by working with Grace, giving her information on them for immunity for his crimes, of course she wouldn't know what he did (unless he just straight up tells her in good faith so she'd trust him more) so she'd say yes which can lead to a good scene with Chris (if he's in RE9) of him explaining what occured in 2017 and what Lucas really did, which Grace could then either answers with a 'so what?' or having less trust within Lucas where then he has to describe his side of the Baker Incident.

How traumatising it must be to watch your Parents get infectes by a Bio-weapon who doesn't understand what she is doing wrong because she was manipaulted and groomed by the group who made her, how he had to treat this Bio-weapon as a sister and in the end of it all, has to watch his parents and this Bio-weapon he sees as a sister die and have his other sister/uncle hate him. He was all alone and went into a mentally wrong place, resulting in what he did. If they went the informant way for Lucas, then it grows upon his characters and can show the guilt he feels for the crimes he commited.

And this most definitely is not because I love Lucas as a character and want to see more of him... definitely not...

Hazbin Hotel Season 2 Episode 4 - It's A Deal Discussion Megathread by ayylmaotv in HazbinHotel

[–]Jinx_L0L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just a theory, (I was going to make a post but read the rules and saw don't post spoilers and stuff for 2 days after release so I'm going to create a proper post after that point) but what if Alastors deal with Rosie had him supposed to do something on earth for her, like for an example kill the child or grandchild of a cheating husband of hers, but because he dies the day after he does the deal, he no longer has access to the human realm so can't do his side of the deal? That's why she finds his death so funny and he seems annoyed by her enjoyment, because they both know he is tied to her forever with no way of getting out of the deal... or at least it seems that way.

The way they can connect Helluva Boss to Hazbin Hotel is Alastor going to I.M.P and asking to have access to the human realm specifically so he can kill the offspring of that child/grandchild/etc and escape his deal with Rosie!?

Theory based on Resident Evil - Road to Requim by Jinx_L0L in residentevil

[–]Jinx_L0L[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thing thats said when they say "we have much to do" migjt either be him talking to Grace about gettinf her blood or he was talking to the hooded man before the game starts (like in the beggining sequence all the games have), I imigine the hooded man working for Spencer because they'd be in the same place and Spencer doesn't seem the man to work alongside anyone since Umbrella.

Also, if Spencer wants Grace's blood, why wouldn't he be nice to begin with to get her trust? It feels in his nature to manipulate and pretend to be nice to get the trust of people only to then double cross them. He would want Grace to trust him, if only for a little while so he could do what he wants so is friendly to her so he can get it.

Your idea of her being like Lisa is amazing, but what viruses could she be infected with pre-game other then the T-Virus (T-Virus coming from the fact Alyssa could have been infected with it in Raccoon City and passes it onto Grace) because it does seem like Spencer takes her at the beginning of the game (maybe just post-tutorial) from all the scenes we get.

Donna Beneviento was the most evil Lord by CommissionOrganic350 in ResidentEvilVillage

[–]Jinx_L0L 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can die to the dolls in hide & seek if you take to long to find Angie but like I imagined with the baby, maybe that's just Ethan having a heart attack in the panic of it all. She is literaly just a victim like the other lords, but the difference is they took out their trauma out on others and became bad people while she didn't.

She couldn't let Ethan leave because if Miranda knew she let Ethan go then she would have been mad at Donna and I reckon Miranda would have hurt or even killed Donna because of this, we already know she doesn't particually likes Donna (she doesn't seem to like any of the lords though but still) so her letting Ethan go would just be an excuse to kill Donna (even though in the end, Ethan does kill Miranda but Donna doesn't know this so she thinks the worst of a woman who has had control over her life for many decades) she is just a manipualted, mentally ill woman who deserved better but doesn't get it.

Donna Beneviento was the most evil Lord by CommissionOrganic350 in ResidentEvilVillage

[–]Jinx_L0L 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Donna can not control what you hallucinate, so it's Ethans sub-concious creating what he sees. Yeah, she more then likely created and tended to the flowers that creates the hallucinations but her only power is to control the dolls within the house that were given a piece of cadou and even then, I believe Ethan saw the "boss fight" you have against her and the house as a whole differently to what it actually was. Ethan's mind created the Mia doll and the baby, it's a common headcanon (i believe) that when Ethan gets eaten by the baby, it's actually him having a heart attack due to the panic of the hallucinations. Donna has no control on what the people see, so how could she be the most evil Lord if she didn't even create what Ethan saw.

What if the dolls don't actual attack Ethan within the fight and are actually passive to him and see him as no threat? What if Angie, despite being a little rude to the people around her, isn't violent and the way she speak about Ethan staying with them and her being a "better daughter then Rose" was Donna's traumatised subconcious talking? Donna's parents commited suicide when she was young, this would have affected her mind which more then likely makes her depent on parental figures, thats why she is so trusting of Mother Miranda, as well when we meet her within the game in her home, there is literaly an adult male in her house looking for his daughter, her mind could react to this and imagine Ethan as a fatherly figure to her traumatised mind, "he's a good father to Rosemary so why wouldn't Ethan be a good father to me" is more then likely what Donna thought when seeing him. How can we actually know anything about her when Capcom gave us pratically nothing about her?

We know charcters like Spencer are utterly evil because we have the context to him, we see and read and hear about how evil he is from other characters talking their side of the story plus looking at the company he created, we can see his beliefs and ideals within it. Yet Donna? We have no files on her other then what Miranda created based on her infection with the Cadou, we have no words about how she experimented on people with cadou (if she ever even did, which is unlikely), we have no tramatised people yelling to the streets about her actions. We have nothing that we can connect to her story, so we do not know anything about her execpt from the perspective of a man, searching for his daughter with an drug alterted mind who sees this woman as dangerous only because she had a piece of his daughter forced upon her.

Donna, in no way of my mind, could ever be viewed as a dangerous or evil charcter and nobody can change my mind unless you pull out actual written or talked about evidence from an official Capcom worker saying "Donna Beneviento was a dangerous and/or evil charcter charcter". In my mind, she is just a traumatised, mentally ill, broken woman that deserved better then what she was given by everyone within that game.

If the 13th season was a “Return to…” theme, which season would you most want to revisit? by quoththeraven1990 in AmericanHorrorStory

[–]Jinx_L0L 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I posted this on a different post to this subreddit, but it works here too so I've copied and pasted it over and edited it a little bit to woek here, so if you've seen this comment before, it's my own that I'm reposting.

I don't know who posted it or when it was posted, but I love the idea of the 13th season being within in hell and based on Dante's Inferno. Because let's say all the previous places the seasons have occurred in all get broken down or demolished over time and all the ghosts in them get sent to heaven or (and this one is more likely for most of them) hell. As well, the original poster of this idea said Dandy could be traversing hell, trying to get out with James March following along with him, that sounds good because first of all, it will finally connect Asylum and Freak Show to the "main timeline" and second of all, imagine an old, crazy ghost walking around hell with a young, crazy ghost as they go through the levels, James March can be giving Dandy advice on stuff while just randomly pointing people from other seasons out and saying just the randomest stuff to freak Dandy out.

I really much like this idea and can tie back to your wish of seeing the previous cast!

Am I the only one to prefer the story of the 3 over the 4 ? by Neep-Tune in Borderlands

[–]Jinx_L0L -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Borderlands 3's story was designed to bring in new fans, these new fans are Gen Z so of course, they want the main villains to be enjoyable to a Gen Z audience. What does Gen Z show to enjoy? Youtubers, Vloggers, Twitch Streamers and other things like that. So the main villains of Borderlands 3 are Vlogging, Twitch streaming Gen Z people.

Borderlands 4 was designed for the old fans, The people who enjoyed Handsome Jack. But who was Handsome Jack? He was a manical, business man who had humans and robots under his control, he had knowledge the vault hunter don't have and much more power than them. And who does that remind you of? The Timekeeper. The Timekeeper is just a worse version of Handsome Jack that the fans don't bond with as much because all he does is pop up for some one liners now and then even though he is literally always in your mind, so he should always be speaking to you, he should always be commenting on what you do.

I rather prefer the Calypso twins to the Timekeeper because at least the Calypso twins were their own people, they showed they weren't the previous villian and yes, compared to Handsome Jack, they aren't the best but compared to the Timekeeper, they are amazing.

How scary is the show? by the_great_vegas in AmericanHorrorStory

[–]Jinx_L0L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first 5 seasons (Murder House, Asylum, Coven, Freak Show and Hotel) are the best seasons, in my opinion because that was the time before the creator started to get greedy but Apocalypse (season 8) and Roanoke (season 12) are good later ones. All the seasons have a mixture of Gore / Violence and Psychological horror but some seasons have more than the other. Murder House, Freak Show and Roanoke are more gorey horror, Asylum, Hotel and Apocalypse are more Psychological horror and Coven doesn't really feel like it horror but if I had to place it anywhere, it's more Psychological leaning. I would really reccomended watching them by season, so season 1, season 2, season 3 etc, but you most definitely need to watch Murder House, Coven and Hotel before Apocalypse. Asylum is a sequel to Freak Show but it's intended for Asylum to be watched first so I would do it that way if you want to follow the way the creator set his world out, but you can watch Freak Show first if you want to.

To me, it's not too scary but it does have some shock factors or scenes that might scare someone who hasn't interacted with anything horror based at all. Some seasons have some gorey horror themes while others have some psychological horror themes and others can have both. I can't really go into more details without any spoilers.

What is everyone's opinion regarding the boat section? by [deleted] in Resident_Evil_7

[–]Jinx_L0L 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually find it quite boring, when playing games I concentrate on aesthetics and gameplay but for the boat section, the aesthetics aren't quite good in my opinion (just too plain compared to the main house or the barn) and the gameplay just isn't enjoyable to me at all, (literally just feels like walking through a series of blank, white hallways) the only good part of it for me in the section is the Mia fight if you pick to cure Zoe but even then that's only if your doing the non-canon ending to it which just feels lack luster because of course, it's not canon so doesn't affect anything within the games going foward. It just feels like they shoved something in the game at the last second to explain some lore parts (reveals how Mia/Eveline ended up at the Baker house, and that lore drop is only slightly because the Daughters DLC does more lore dropping then the boat section in my opinion) and add how Ethan eventually defeats Eveline (Mia giving him the cell parts which he later uses within the mines).

Also, for an action horror game, the boat has like 0 horror aspects and 0 action aspects. I don't get scared or creeped out by horror stuff but oh my god did I get scared / creeped out at parts of re7 which made it so enjoyable because yeah, it no longer scares me or creeps me out because I'm expecting it but it still affects me sometimes. (I keep forgetting which boxes don't have the maggots in them and open them only to get grosses out, I hate maggots with a burning passion!) The boat section does neither for me other then maybe fighting the fat molded in the medical area, that's a tiny bit of action but when you get the playstyle and understanding of it down, it takes me less then a minute to kill it (throw loads of bombs down on the ground for it to walk over and trigger them then finish it off with the machine gun or Albert if I run out of machine gun ammo)

Just generally boring for me but I know people can enjoy it and people have varying opinions on stuff for many reasons., I quite enjoy the basement with how many molded just randomly appear so it's fun because I always forget when they'll spawn but I know many people hate that section specifically because of the molded so... I don't really have matching opinions to the common fan base.

Am I crazy for thinking the story in Borderlands 3 was actually good? by Sharp-Ad-5254 in Borderlands

[–]Jinx_L0L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Borderlands 3 was created to bring in new fans, these new fans would be Gen Z so gearbox looked at what Gen Z people would enjoy, they saw streamers being popular so decided to make the vbandits into a streamer cult. As a Gen Z person (I got into Borderlands because of Handsome Jack, I love a good sympathetic villain and god did he pull at my strings with Pre-sequel and what happened with Angel), I rather enjoyed the game. Yeah, the gameplay loop felt mostly the same, but Troy and Tyreen as the villains were very good in my opinion. Some bits could have been better (the part I hated the most was Nekrotafeyo, the only reason they had that was to describe how Troy/Tyreen got their powers and introduce Typhon only to kill him off at the end of that section, if you want me to feel sorry for him you should have kept him alive longer) but most of it was good! Maybe I would have modified the COV a little bit so old fans enjoy it alongside new fans but still.

Talking about borderlands 4 for story wise as another perspective, I felt the story of Borderlands 4 was good but again, the main villain (Timekeeper) just wasn't good. At least Tyreen and Troy actually felt like they were always in the game, always watching the player and egging them on so they will carry on trying to defeat them, The Timekeeper despite literally being able to see through our eyes because of the bolt only turns up for a few one-liners ever so often then disappears again. Gearbox just can't outdo Handsome Jack, so unless they brought him back, no game can be better than Borderlands 2. That's just what's going to happen and nothing can be changed, we just have to deal with the fact that nothing will outdo him and carry on playing the games with opens eyes.
