They truly could’ve just let the zombies sit there and eat their food. How is there not a single person scrambling for hand sanitizer or… something! I know, I know, I’m expecting too much out of Resident Evil, but they set themselves up for that when they mentioned COVID. Resident Evil has that AND a virus that turns victims into zombies. This is so unbelievable to me because we currently live in a world where someone coughing too hard raises eyebrows. Like… you’re letting her hang out with a large group of people? Without a mask?! When you KNOW she’s sick?!?! Then when you get to the party you LEAVE HER ALONE?!?!?! I guess we’re supposed to believe that Billy’s… good at hiding it? But this even extends to her loved ones, her sister letting her go to a party because they think she only has a couple of hours to live. No one tells the rest of the students to mask up or stay six feet away. No one insists that she stay inside for a certain amount of days. She basically looks like she’s two seconds away from turning into a zombie. If you’ve played a Resident Evil game (or seen any kind of zombie media) you know how bad this looks. She’s not better, of course, and starts to show signs of being severely ill. Wesker assures her it isn’t and, eventually, she returns to school when she starts to look better. #ResidentEvilNetflix- Joni Hasa July 14, 2022Īnyway, Billy gets infected and even asks if it’s like COVID. No security, not even after the alarms go off. I mean apparently you can just march right into Umbrella facility like you would into 7-Eleven. Do you WANT people to find out your secrets after the T-virus incident? ESPECIALLY in a world where COVID existed? Circling back to my “Umbrella Rebranding” comment, it’s astonishing that this corporation is so lax about its security.
It’s comical how easy they get into the lab, by the way. So Billy Wesker is bitten by a dog and infected with the T-virus after she and her sister, Jade, sneak into Umbrella. This was so frustrating to me, especially because one of the characters gets infected with the T-virus and starts showing terrible symptoms in public. Instead, COVID is treated as a nod to our world like every other reference. Umbrella is already attempting a notepad apology tour to rebrand itself after everything that’s happened, but with the existence of COVID, wouldn’t that make folks even MORE suspicious of Umbrella? Or anyone showing symptoms of any kind of infection?Īdmittedly, this could’ve been an interesting (albeit sadistic) plot thread – shady company responsible for viral outbreak is trying to rebrand itself in a world where EVERYONE is paranoid because of a virus they had nothing to do with (COVID). We already HAVE a virus for the characters to deal with, so why even bring up a real-life one that you have no real interest in fully investing in? Honestly, what the COVID mention does is make things a lot more unbelievable. If you don’t want COVID to be a thing in your show why mention it at all? Why talk as if it’s over? But that’s exactly what Netflix’s Resident Evil does. However, if a show does decide to address COVID, I’d like for it to do it properly and not talk about it in the past tense.
#Inotepad funny series
For me, personally, I don’t necessarily need a series to tackle COVID even if it does take place today because, to be perfectly honest, I’m watching Netflix to NOT think about COVID. This is an issue that we’ve discussed before, whether or not fictional media should address the ongoing elephant in the room. However, the series flies too close to the sun and decides to mention COVID more than once (though, really, once is too much).
That’s certainly a choice but hey, what’s done is done. Albert Wesker threatened a guy while referencing PornHub.
I don’t mean that in a “takes place in the Midwestern town of Raccoon City” kind of way, but in a “Wesker knows what PornHub is” kind of way. Netflix’s Resident Evil does that thing that some media franchises feel the need to do where it makes references to the real world. It’s not Wesker clone “Bert” loving Olive Garden breadsticks (he’s right and he should say it) or the Zootopia porn or even Jade Wesker being protected by plot armor while everyone dies around her (though that is annoying), it’s, out of all things, COVID. Netflix’s Resident Evil is a silly mess of a story, but within that silliness comes one teeny tiny MAJOR detail that I can’t get over. Sense when in the fuck did blade become part of the resident evil universe?…🤣🤣🤣 #ResidentEvilNetflix /AzZ26iNsWM- Nemesis July 15, 2022
