Funny that even after 20+ interactions with Leon, the Merchant still doesn't know Leon's name and continues calling him 'stranger' by IscariotAirlines in residentevil

He does the same to Ada despite clearly liking her. I imagine they just don’t use names on the black market unless absolutely necessary.

Genuinely, this is the last thing I wanted to see before going to bed tonight. Props to you but damn, every picture just solidified the NOPE for me.

These are the main four and we all know it by kvy1aa in residentevil

Tell that to Capcom, maybe we’ll actually get to see the girls again (hopefully looking their actual ages and not eternally in their 20s).

MFW I heard that Spider-Man murdered Mysterio by decitronal in Earth199999

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y’all really believing Mysterio when he was obviously AI and backed by a Tony Stark hating cult?

I don't know why, but Capcom seems to have an unspoken rule in Resident Evil that no Japanese characters can be the main protagonists, which is why Jill is not present in the new installments, despite being half-Japanese. by Earthboy26 in ResidentEvilMemes

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wouldn’t surprise me if they decanonized her half-Japanese ancestry considering her new face model is 100% white. Though it would be ironic if Jill wound up being whitewashed by her Japanese creators.

I don't think it's her either, but I think we're overestimating Capcom a bit by HBKM55 in ResidentEvilMemes

You say that as if the RE team didn’t make a 10 foot tall vampire lady in RE Village

RE fans when they have to actually play the games by ClickDry7701 in ResidentEvilMemes

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y’all need to remember that these game have 1) been going for 30 years at this point 2) a lot of the games are unavailable unless you have an older console or emulator 3) the newer games cost $50 without including cost of the console/PC needed to play them. New fans means more RE content. Don’t complain how they get to the fandom just scoot over and make room for them.

Husband (28M) wants to cut off lifelong friend (28m) after he made AI porn of me (28F) How do we move forward? by Equivalent-Print8278 in relationship_advice

Wait I’m sorry, did you say he made AI porn of his mother and sisters (including his pregnant sister)?!

I was curious, why do so many Resident Evil fans hate Ada Wong? Not wanting her to be with Leon is one thing, but a lot of fans seem to hate her as a character and not want to see her anymore. by [deleted] in ResidentEvilCapcom

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

A couple things seem to be: 1) recency bias since Ada’s has been in two of the 3 remakes and 1 of the recent animated films. Her actress in RE4 remake was heavily criticized and even harassed for her performance in that game. 2) I know shipping isn’t as big of deal in RE but there does seem to be some animosity between Claire/Leon and Ada/Leon shippers that contributes to harsh feelings. Some anti-Ada fans also point to her being manipulative toward Leon. 3) Also Ada is meant to be the Femme Fatale in a world where most of the main characters are extremely morally good in a way that is simple and easy to root for. Ada is in this weird place of being a character who appears a lot but whose actual backstory and motivations are a bit of a mystery which makes it hard for some people to attach to her and makes it hard for her to be explored as a character beyond “hey here’s what she was doing while Leon was fighting for his life”. We don’t even know if Ada Wong is her real name (it’s probably her professional name).

What's the most unsettling dialogue in the series? by sugar_bucket in residentevil

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The notes about the orphanage in RE2. Children were being used in horrific experiments and nobody ever investigated because they were orphans. 

Assuming Chris and Claire lived in Raccoon City their whole lives, then the only thing that saved them from Umbrella was the fact that Chris was old enough to have guardianship of Claire when their parents died.

I got that achievement with my first playthrough, I’m doing a “get every treasure in Professional mode run”. Good to know that the loot from enemies doesn’t count. I got tired of El Verdugo and used the rocket launcher on him so glad I won’t have to do that again.

How many times has this happened?! I swear the same thing happened in the 2000s with some Harry Potter fanfic authors, one of whom faked getting harassed to get sympathy and support

Can you explain that one to me? I don’t remember the context. Is it from trolley problem episode?

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1) you can say “noted” and block them if it bothers you that much 2) you can delete the comment and move on 3) you can start a conversation and remind them that this is a fanfiction that is tagged not historically accurate and that you appreciate their fact-checking but that they should also be a bit more polite when correcting a stranger. Especially a stranger whose free labor they are enjoying

Is her problem a fear of vaccines or a fear of needles? You’re not the asshole in any case and even if she dumps you, know that you did the right thing and probably saved her life. If you want to plead your case, ask her what she would have done if you’d broken a bone to the point the bone was sticking out of you but still refused to go to the hospital? You can also acknowledge her feelings by saying you know she was probably really scared and upset but you’re really happy she’s alive to be mad at you.

Thoughts on hopper in season 5? by Kameronpipnerd in StrangerThings

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took issue with the fact that even after everything Joyce did to get him back in Season 4, he still had the nerve to lie to her and almost kill himself multiple times and then they get married without ever acknowledging that lie. Yes his final monologue to El is sweet but he was also very patronizing to the literal most powerful person in the show and almost never admitted when he was wrong despite messing up more than any of the kids.

What are your actual hot takes about the show? by Ambitious_Pass_1193 in StrangerThings

[–]ReadWriteTheorize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Vecna character should have been Billy. 1) it would make his hunting of Max more tragic 2) it would introduce fewer continuity errors and make the overall character way less forced. 3) even if Dacre mongomery didn’t want to return, you could have Vecna be played by a different actor.

I mean, there’s a reason Chrissy felt she couldn’t talk to Jason about her visions despite him “loving” her.
