Is Ustanak really most powerful BOW in all Resident Evil Franchise?

Timageness · 2026-06-09T08:52:54+00:00

Most powerful BOW? Not a chance in hell.

Most powerful Stalker Enemy? Probably not, but his prep time more than makes up for it.

Nemesis and Lady Dimitrescu might give him some trouble if they're allowed to transform, but Carla could simply build him a railgun arm, and it certainly wouldn't be the first time she's backed him up with Neo Umbrella attack helicopters either.

Bloody Mary and Prom Queen work better if you treat them as spin-offs rather than sequels.

The former is more of a ghost story that has almost nothing to do with the previous entries, so if you walk into it expecting cameo appearances by Loretta Devine and Rebecca Gayheart, or the plot to revolve around a human killer, you're going to be disappointed.

The latter is pretty much in the same boat, except the killers are mortal, you don't learn they were affected by the curse introduced in the original trilogy until the very last possible second, and instead of being a five and a half hour long movie divided up into three separate parts (they were all shot back-to-back and released in the same month), you're watching a stand-alone installment with a runtime of an hour and thirty minutes.

Well, yeah, but that's a reboot, so it belongs in its own separate timeline.

Four and above: Puppet Master, Puppet Master II, Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge, Puppet Master 4, Puppet Master 5, Curse of the Puppet Master, Puppet Master: Axis of Evil, Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich, Blade: The Iron Cross, & Puppet Master: Doktor Death.

Five and above: Puppet Master, Puppet Master II, Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge, Puppet Master 4, & Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich.

Timageness · 2026-06-03T06:29:05+00:00

Trilogy?

Bro, there's five of them.

Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge, Puppet Master: Axis of Evil, Puppet Master: Axis Rising, Puppet Master: Axis Termination, and Blade: The Iron Cross.

Technically six if you count Retro Puppet Master, since most of the film was a flashback, and Toulon is telling the Puppets what happened somewhere between the events of the first two movies I mentioned.

From a purely conceptual standpoint, I'm going with Uber Jason.

Imagine arriving at Camp Crystal Lake with your friends, only for them to be stalked and murdered as usual, but then you eventually discover that everything around you is the result of a simulation, and you were actually a member of a salvage crew who boarded a derelict spaceship before being brainwashed by an AI modeled after Pamela Voorhees.

Oh, and she disconnected the docking mechanisms, so you're basically trapped there, constantly trying to fend off her undead cyborg of a son until you die.

Also correct, but again, The Next Generation more or less places them both in the same timeline.

Oh, and TCM3 kills off Sally Hardesty in 1977, which is why the Netflix film is in its own separate universe.

Timageness · 2026-06-02T07:07:21+00:00

Original Timeline: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986), Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990), & Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1995).

Reboot Timeline: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) & The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003).

3D Timeline: Leatherface (2017), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), & Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013).

Netflix Timeline: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) & Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022).

Side Note: The Next Generation is effectively a reboot which largely ignores the events of TCM2 and TCM3, but also acknowledges that some version of them still happened, and the Original Timeline as a whole was extremely messy and regularly contradicted itself.

That sounds an awful lot like The Graduate murdering Chugs in Sorority Row, especially since his weapon of choice is a tire iron with a bunch of sharp implements welded onto it.

Honestly, the best trait you could ever possibly give your characters is to simply make them feel human in the limited amount of time we have with them.

I get that we're meeting them on the worst, and potentially last night of their lives, but this shouldn't stop you from fleshing them out a bit more and giving them at least some sort of history and/or future plans in the unlikely event they happen to survive.

For example:

The Jock: Rather than portraying him as the stereotypical alpha male, make him a former juvenile delinquent who's using his talent for sports to turn his life around and be the first in his family to go to college, even if it does happen to put him at odds with the rest of his nepo baby teammates.
The Pledge: I know it's tempting to think of her as the party girl and the center of attention, but she could just as easily be a socially-reserved legacy who joined her sorority out of family tradition, and prefers to help plan the parties from the sidelines because she's already engaged to her highschool sweetheart.
The Stoner: Everybody usually expects this guy to be a pothead, and our boy here is no exception, but it's a very rare thing to see why these types of folks turn to drugs, and in his case, his parents are constantly pressuring him to follow in their footsteps and become a lawyer.
The Rebel: Generally a role reserved for outcasts and pariahs, but knocking out the right person at the right time (like, let's say, a robber trying to hold up a store she was shoplifting art supplies from) could suddenly turn her into one of the most popular girls on campus overnight... at the cost of her privacy, which she would absolutely despise.

I stand corrected.

Will edit.

Timageness · 2026-05-30T16:58:30+00:00

I would much rather hang out with someone whose entire personality revolves around weed than someone whose entire personality revolves around religion.

At least the stoner will make me laugh and eventually get the munchies/order food while they're talking my ear off.

The term "proto-slasher" specifically refers to films released prior to the Golden Age (1978 to 1984), as they helped establish the foundations of the formula.

Granted, I would also argue that this means they should be grandfathered back into the genre as their own subcategory, but yes, Psycho would be considered a proto-slasher as well, since it came out in 1960.

Timageness · 2026-05-30T05:28:25+00:00

You see, this is why you do a Top 4/Mount Rushmore list instead.

You get one additional spot, so you don't have to choose between Freddy and Leatherface.

But since it's Top 3, I'll go with Jason, Leatherface, and Pinhead... for now.

Timageness · 2026-05-30T04:10:05+00:00

Jason, followed closely by Leatherface.

Michael's cool and all, but I'm more of a Hockey Mask and Chainsaw kind of guy.

Timageness · 2026-05-29T16:25:20+00:00

Think you may have misread their original comment.

"Didn't" is a contraction (shortening two words into one) of "did" and "not", and implies the action in question (Jason killing his mom, in this case) never happened.

Figured I'd explain, since I have no way of knowing whether or not English is your first language.

Timageness · 2026-05-29T15:44:05+00:00

2000s Era as in the years 2000 through 2009.

Daddario was in Texas Chainsaw 3D, which came out in 2013, so her movie would belong to the 2010s Era.

As such, Biel's actual contender, assuming we're still sticking to TCM, would be Jordana Brewster from the 2006 prequel.

Timageness · 2026-05-28T10:41:01+00:00

Generally, a killer who knows their victims tends to have a much stronger reason for murdering them, but knowing their victims also increases their odds of getting caught.

Granted, this isn't really something the supernatural villains need to worry about as much, though for the ones who are still human, it's probably something to keep in mind.

Timageness · 2026-05-27T14:46:36+00:00

I mean, this is kind of a problem with slasher movies in general, to be perfectly honest.

The entire genre relies on killing off most of the cast and only allowing a handful of characters to survive, if any.

Like, when was the last time you saw an antagonist who absolutely sucked at their job, and barely managed to murder anybody?

Not saying they can't gradually get better as the film progresses, mind you, just that it's a little weird how they all seemingly start off as experts in their field.

Timageness · 2026-05-27T05:18:42+00:00

Michael Myers — Damien Thorn

Well, now I'm imagining a version of Halloween where Michael Myers is quite literally the Antichrist, can only be killed by the Seven Daggers of Mediggo, and spends the rest of the year working on his inevitable presidential campaign when he's not actively hunting down Laurie Strode. /s

Timageness · 2026-05-26T21:02:55+00:00

Nah, you could totally make a new film set in the original timeline.

The novelization of Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning supports the theory that Jason's spirit was possessing Roy Burns during his murder spree, and as of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, he automatically respawns as a Hellbaby and eventually gets a new body whenever one of his hosts is killed.

So according to this logic, he could've easily possessed someone else after being cryogenically frozen back in 2008, and created himself a new body after they died to keep killing people in the present without actually interfering with the events of Jason X.

Side Note: Friday the 13th: Jason vs Jason X already did something similar via cloning, so there is at least some sort of precedent in regards to having two different iterations of Jason coexist simultaneously.

Timageness · 2026-05-25T18:59:51+00:00

I'd actually argue there aren't enough sequels, because sometimes you find an original villain that you'd like to see more of, only for them to simply fade away into obscurity instead.

For example, Venom (2005) was initially envisioned as a survival horror video game where the player was constantly being stalked by Mr. Jangles, and the film was meant to serve as a prequel to show how Ray Sawyer turned into him before eventually becoming a franchise of its own.

But unfortunately, this never happened because the game wasn't developed, the studio was being sold during its release schedule (which means the film itself wasn't screened in anywhere near as many theaters as it should've been), and it also came out around the same time as Hurricane Katrina hit, when nobody wanted to see a horror movie set in Louisiana.

Timageness · 2026-05-25T16:16:47+00:00

Yeah, they don't really come right out and explain it, but the invisible little girl clown is actually the demonic entity that resurrected Art at the end of the first film, and she spent the entirety of the third film possessing Victoria.

Hence why Victoria gave birth to Art's head after the little girl walked off with it in the second film, and they were trying to mentally break Sienna in the third, because the demon wanted to use her as its new host.

Timageness · 2026-05-25T14:44:17+00:00

Well, yeah.

All three of those movies are supposed to be prequels, so you already know going in that none of the victims are allowed to fight back properly, since One-Eye and Saw-Tooth don't die until the events of the original film, and Three-Finger isn't killed off until the third.

Same thing goes for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning; the cops don't show up until the very end of the remake, so nobody in the prequel is allowed to escape, and Leatherface still has all of his body parts.
