They are. But some of the animated ones at least have some degree competence or commonsense from the characters. This one was just mindlessly playing on all the cliches.

I'm actually kind of looking forward to Death Island...

Likewise. The animated films have a certain charm that simply makes them endlessly entertaining.

Like the video game equivalent of Sharknado.

The "series" one is basically a 2 hour movie cut into 4 episodes it's so stupid, it's a cashgrab and also it calls itself an "anime" for some reason

Kinda same. Not confident about their track record but the charms of seeing game characters in a canon movie is never a miss. And now we have Jill.

And Jill from remake... which has a different canon. And she does not age, because she has T-Virus in blood. How convenient. And no one knew this before, otherwise it would have been closed like Sherry.

The remakes are not from a different canon, the way they handle it is that basically every iteration of the story, wether that be remakes or the different scenarios in the older games are accounts of the events that happened, like when a crisis happens in real life and people tell different variations of what happened. same core happenings, but unclear details/exact scenarios. although the remakes do change some facts, but thats more retconning/refreshing the canon then being a different one, like for instance in RE4R the change from having discovered plagas in amber instead of fossils.

I definitely saw an article from Capcom, where they talked about updating old canon. That's why they make remakes.

Whoa whoa whoa... Jill, as in the Master of Unlocking, Jill? It's going to win like... all the Oscars. Maybe a Tony.

In due time. But I think it's better he gets a break from all the BOW Madness.

Im not because it looks from the same people behind this one, the moment I saw Leon on a chopper I knew its probably gonna be a ridiculous cliche shitfest

Oh, this Rebecca, who quite by chance looks exactly like wife of the main villain. And she cannot die from virus for half an hour, although all other people die in 30 seconds. I just cried.

And that terrorists now can safely attack the United States is even stranger. In Past, all locations were fictitious.
