I've always been confused what people actually want from Resident Evil adaptations or what they think they want. A lot of people say, "They have nothing to do with Resident Evil", but when pressed on what they mean by that they tend to get evasive and the more you dig the more it seems their entire complaint boils down to "They have an original protagonist and the films diverged into two timelines after the destruction of Raccoon City."
But that was always going to happen because the games completely lost of the plot after Code Veronica. There was no way for a film series to stay abreast of a game series that was randomly throwing shit at the wall to see what stuck. They were throwing shit at the wall with RE2 and RE3, too. Capcom are STILL throwing shit at the wall. And there was no way that the "so bad it's good" writing of the games was going to be translated into a film verbatim. That's a bitter pill a lot of people seem strangely unwilling to swallow. One suggestion is:
>They should make a movie without characters from the games, but set in the same universe as the games.
Except that's what the original Resident Evil did in 2002. And the continuity inevitably diverged and will do so again. Resident Evil as an interconnected trans-media franchise is idiotic. The CG films attempt this, and they're complete nonsense where nothing happens, the status quo resetting at the end of each movie. Nobody wants movies set between the games. They claim they do, but such movies are both incomprehensible to newcomers and utterly boring because they can't have any impact on the universe shown in the games.

script should be written by a Japanese person, and even directed by a Japanese person. An adaptation can't be good if it's made by a hollywood american burger. But Japanese people don't know how to make movies, so there will never be an adaptation of RE.

bad topology

We're gonna see this cycle repeat with the upcoming Zach Cregger movie. There's also no point closely consulting with Capcom to ensure that everything is 100% canon, because they did that with the Monster Hunter movie and people still complained.

That is very strange. Almost like you are a colossal retard who doesn't understand that besides the first one, all the movies were utter dogshit.
People simply wanted good or even ok movies. That is all. I feel sorry for you that think those movies have any redeeming factor.

Just an almost 1 for 1 remake of Resident Evil 1. I thought it was fine as is and could simply use a little punching up in parts. Don't rewrite the whole thing. Just a little spice.

I'll never get that. That's fine. Movies are fucking gay anyway.

Why? They don't know how to write, make movies or create any coherent stories. Westerners are always better at this you retarded weaboo

You're a dumbass retard and so is 99% of this series' dogshit fanbase. I love the games as much as I loathe the fans. The wise man points at the moon, the idiot looks at his finger. That's the problem with this series and how everyone obsesses over stupid shit like "plot" and "characters". I don't give a shit about any of that stuff and only literal mongoloids believe this is the core of RE. If you care about shit like "umm akshually umbrella and wesker racoon city x-virus whatever whatever" kill yourself. Fandoms in general are full of literal braindead retards like OP. "canon brainrot". Who care more about how Luke Skywalker's laser sword is yellow instead of blue, regardless of the quality of the movie itself. Kill yourselves holy shit. What makes RE is its impeccable gothic atmosphere and tense survival action. That's all there is to it. Immersive dark visuals, a maze-like location and running low on ammo against lethal threats. That's why the movies are shit, because they are shit movies. The problem isn't that they're bad adaptations, it's that they're shit movies that don't even understand the core of the source material or the basics of their own filmmaking medium but none of it matters because they're unapologetic lazy cashgrabs made for retards who happily lap that dogshit up like OP.

The third one is the best one, though.

It is true that the films are more brutalist than gothic, but the thing is, RE2 and RE3 aren't gothic. Code Veronica is... vaguely gothic but not really.

So... the Resident Evil movies?
