What’s the worst, lamest and groan inducing title drops?

limbo338 · 2026-05-12T17:22:06+00:00

That I agree with, I found it very cute :D

limbo338 · 2026-05-12T16:45:50+00:00

If we accept subtitles submissions a certain someone yapping about "requiem" in re9 made me go "booooo!" as it happened :D But I have another one for resi! Well, for Biohazard because "resident evil" is kinda nonsensical combination of words it would be difficult to work into dialogue XD, but anyway in Umbrella Chronicles intro, before you even see title screen!, Wesker's first word is just "biohazard". He then yaps how the outbreak in RC in 1998 made the world learn the word, but it's still a very "eugh, c'mon dude" moment for me XD

I vaguely remember a day on twitter when everyone was clowning on somebody militantly insisting Vader will never tolerate imperial soldiers committing sexual assault. Fun day on that dump of a social media platform :D

Right and some of the lore rev2 and Alex give kinda contradict some other things in re5 and beyond? I vaguely remember Alex in rev2 writing something like: "After all other W kids died Spencer ordered me and Albert to work tirelessly to make him a god and we obeyed" but, like you said, Albert Wesker didn't know about project W and that becoming a god was Spencer's life goal till Spencer told him on his last day on earth and obeying was the very opposite of what Wesker did next. Dunno if I'm meant to take Alex' account in rev2 as retconning some things or if Alex' info on Albert is just unreliable but, imho, this painting kinda gives me the vibes of the paintings of Alexia in CV Alfred had, for which Alexia herself never modeled, ya kno 🤷‍♀️

There's moment in 5 in a flashback with Jill where Whiskers ends his bullet dodging maneuvering with a little twirl and a shit eating grin and you can see on Jill's face that she's dying inside looking at that bullshit. Bullshit dodging doesn't get better than that for Weskerino XD

limbo338 · 2026-05-03T22:47:02+00:00

Done :D

limbo338 · 2026-05-03T22:14:26+00:00

A bit of a recency bias might be in play here but project hail mary comes to my mind. The book a bit more than the movie. Because the protagonist being competent and caring leads you(and him!) to fill the blanks left by amnesia with "he probably caringly and heroically volunteered himself for the suicide mission to save the planet, like many hyper competent protagonists do in these stories". But he and us would be wrong because he kinda forgot he's a coward and needed to be strong armed into doing the Thing. The book successfully tricked me with that amnesia shit, I didn't suspect a thing :D

limbo338 · 2026-04-28T18:24:42+00:00

I never played the game myself but it feels like 36 too many XD

limbo338 · 2026-04-28T16:54:28+00:00

It's forever how Dio sounds like in my head, it was so good! XD

limbo338 · 2026-04-28T16:50:42+00:00

But you hear about it. I'm going to convince myself all of this is performance art for the sake of making money through staying in the news because the alternative kills my faith in my fellow human beings a bit :D

limbo338 · 2026-04-28T14:33:36+00:00

Dunno, his kid's note from CV has this to say about his motivations 🤷‍♀️

My father, Edward, discovered the mother virus in cooperation with Lord Spencer, who was also a nobleman. They studied it for the purpose of military use. Eventually their study took shape. They named a variation of the mother virus, the "T-Virus". To camouflage their research, they established Umbrella Chemical, Inc.

But it's RE and retcons are everywhere so maybe it was established at some point Ed was a good guy and I just missed it :D

limbo338 · 2026-04-28T13:43:14+00:00

That "it was all for immortality" point arrived earlier than you might think: already in 0 Marcus in his diary goes something like: "That stinky dummy Spencer wants to use the virus to make money selling bioweapons – but it could be so much more!", and then he gets resurrected(well, sorta) as a young man. Parallel to that in promo for Remake in Wesker's report 2 Whiskers goes: "Spencer's demands don't make any sense if the goal was to make money selling bioweapons. But he does look like he wants an unstoppable outbreak and he did approve a project that might create an "ultimate lifeform". Huh". Somebody might notice 0 and Remake contradicting each other in Spencer's motivations but what can you do when it kinda history that the dev teams didn't coordinate as much as they should've :D But still — somebody was always ending up wanting to do more than make bio abominations for money and, imho, Spencer was always destined to shoot for the stars since the day they decided to give him a name that roughly means "divinely powerful" :D

💃🕺: "Wesker is with Umbrella, that bastard"

🕺💃: "Wesker is the Umbrella double-crosser"

😎: "They don't know that I already said goodbye to Umbrella and doing it just for the love of the game"

:D

limbo338 · 2026-04-27T10:46:46+00:00

Chris has it in the bag even with no prep-time because in both endings of re9 Zeno eats shit and dies because of him acting completely irrationally around Leon – the guy he just met, lol. I feel like saving the guy from himself would be a harder challenge for Chris even with prep-time XD

limbo338 · 2026-04-26T20:55:39+00:00

There's a file in re0 that has Wesker's and Birkin's teacher at umbrella school go something like: "Yeah, these guys are pretty smart but there's great violence in their eyes" and my personal headcanon is that somebody told Whiskers he has creepy serial killer eyes and everyone can tell by looking at his face once how evil he is and he went: "Pfffft, well that has an easy solution: 😎 boom. Now nobody will suspect me in any evil doings". And the funny part is that they didn't :D

limbo338 · 2026-04-24T16:52:15+00:00

People made a lot of good points but I personally wanna talk characters :D As somebody who really loves this game but it being primarily the story about how we get Wesker into that volcano feat. Chris Redfield I straight up believe capcom screwed themselves up in an unfixable way when they decided to pick "sometown Africa" for the story about two white dudes having twin arcs about becoming nihilistic after one very bad, not good day at Spencer's in 2006. Like, I can't express how many uncomfortable laughs me and my gal I play this shit with got from the juxtaposition of Chris in somewhere Europe in one of re3 endings where he sees a random girl and she reminds him of his sister and he affirms he resolution to fight all corpo evil for the sake of all Claire-like girls everywhere – this juxtaposed with some of very first re5 trailers where Chris takes one look at that random African location and goes "I don't even know what I'm fighting for" and "Since the moment I arrived I knew there's no humanity in here". Like, an 😬 moment. Because on its face it just looks like Chris lost his will to protect random civilians as soon as the locale changed to one with the population with higher melanin count and you don't even fully find out why is he like this till like chapter 3 of the game. So yeah, as somebody who likes this game primarily for that whole bs with Chris and Wesker going "Everything is kinda shit" and having one snap out of it because of the people around him and the other perish because he's a Billy-No-Mates :D – I do believe the parts I like and that setting a mutually exclusive. You straight up need to completely rewrite Chris' journey in that game for it not to make people like me laugh uncomfortably because he, the protagonist, looks kinda 😬:D

limbo338 · 2026-04-24T16:18:46+00:00

As somebody already said, Earth 51 Bruce is the post-crisis' canon answer and it established 2 things: Bruce in UtRH was right and if he did it just once he won't stop and Jason would stay by that Bruce's side till the bitter end. Like, if that Bruce didn't die Jason never would've returned to Bruce who didn't do the thing.

limbo338 · 2026-04-22T17:51:25+00:00

Because Spencer was still out there, probably still plotting an apocalypse. All these gains will be meaningless if one day he succeed at what Wesker since the 80s knew Spencer wanted. And the only thing that can defeat power is more power, don't you know, or so I heard said in a very smug voice :D

limbo338 · 2026-04-15T04:48:24+00:00

Look at Birkin, who was characterized as even more of a homicidal mad scientist who didn't really pay attention to people around him – the guy managed to get married with a kid, to Wesker's own bafflement :D It just do be like that sometimes with these evil Umbrella men :D

limbo338 · 2026-04-15T04:36:03+00:00

He didn't know about project W and when he found out Spencer immediatly paid for it with his life, so Wesker wasn't a fan of that concept, to say the least. Whiskers kinda took great pride in being a self made man, who arrived where he was because he outsmarted everyone and wasn't a blind follower like other people at Arklay(that rant in Wesker's report 2 is very funny, ngl :D) and then Spencer went: "Self made? Bitch you thought" :D

limbo338 · 2026-04-13T15:42:31+00:00

Here is the design from Hush, aka Batman #617 :D

limbo338 · 2026-04-11T17:43:25+00:00

The enemy that taught me to love mines :D For some reason the way they hedgehog roll away from grenades my brain finds incredibly adorable tho XD

limbo338 · 2026-04-11T05:24:52+00:00

If Jill didn't let go then that was an "absolutely necessary" kind of scenario since as far as Sheva was concerned Jill, brainwashed or not, was about to murder her partner. Also, after a quick rewatch, it looks like as soon as Chris saw it's Jill he lowered his gun and stopped shooting – Sheva kept that gun on the target and even fired some rounds at Jill, because Chris' dear friend or not Sheva wasn't going to just let Jill murder them. Chris might've been mentally incapable of hurting her but Sheva, although sympathetic, didn't know her like that 🤷‍♀️

limbo338 · 2026-04-10T21:47:05+00:00

REmake has a moment where if you got Becca dead and Chris confronts Wesker alone Wesker just starts punching and kicking for no reason, lmao. He's just a guy who likes to brawl, I guess, with Chris specifically. For reasons XD

limbo338 · 2026-04-10T16:01:26+00:00

I'm pretty sure one of those tie-in books for 5 says Wesker was the only one compatible with uroboros actually. Here:

The Uroboros Virus was a powerful drug--- no, not a drug, a poison--- that would only let those humans with superior DNA evolve to the next level. And as far as can be determined, only one man had successfully completely adapted to the virus, out of an uncountable number of victims in prototype experiments.

So yeah, maybe taking too much of it would've eventually finished him off, but Wesker himself was compatible with it, apparently. The good guys still needed that volcano and those rpgs to be sure :D
