Excellent video but you made a mistake. She wasn't infected with the Nemesis Virus which doesn't actually exist but the NE-A or Nemesis Alpha Parasite. In fact the file screenshot you put as you talked about it called it a parasite.
She could of killed chris or jill, but what does she do? Drags them in front of the fire place...and leaves, i think if they said "help find your mother" she wouldn't be hostile, but for gameplay sake, not able to do that
I actually think she might have known they're weren't with Umbrella, but might not have known who or what they were, so she gave them the benefit of the doubt that one time.
Correction. She doesnt leave. She stands there, watching you sleep. You can see her foot completely still when it switches to her walking in after you wake up and only takes a step after a second or so. Shes just a curious girl and seeing you stand up has made her anxious and all she knows is to kill.
Great video! Just a fun fact; originally, the G-Virus was support to be an abbreviation for "God-Virus", a reference to its unprecedented mutagenic potential, Birkin's absolute obsession with it, his reverence of it, and a symbol of how far Birkin had descended into madness/evil that this horrible thing had become his "god". This is why the files in the original RE2 refer to it as "God Virus" and why the official name for the G-Viral Antigen used to cure Sherry is "DEVIL" - a symbolic counterpart. The idea of it actually being called the Golgotha-Virus was retconned in later by the creator of Resident Evil 3, who came up with it as part of an interview.
Great video! I do want to clarify something about RE zombies though: a lot of people don’t know that they are not actually dead. The T Virus does not actually reanimate dead tissue, but it destroys one’s higher brain function, makes them more resilient to pain, makes them more aggressive, and causes severe necrosis, making everyone think that those infected are walking corpses when they are in fact very much alive.
I honestly didn't want to attack Lisa after I found out what cruel fate had befallen her. But her mind was so far gone that she couldn't tell that I wasn't her enemy. The part where you defeat her by opening the sarcophagus and she reacts by mournfully uttering "Mother" and picking up her skull and jumping into the pit really tugs at the heartstrings.
She was sapient enough to be capable of speech and sewing so I don't think her mind was too far gone. I think she was just scared that a bunch of strangers showed up at her house including one of the men who tortured her for years and she reacted violently because she didn't know what else to do and all of them reacted with fear and violence. She once managed to appear dead for three days before waking back up and killing the people who executed her, and she canonically survived that jump, so I like to think there's still a possibility she's alive out there.
If it makes you feel any better, she got justice in a number of the games. In RE0, we see what happens to the creator of the T-virus. In RE Remastered, the place of torture she's been in for ages is destroyed. In RE2, we see what happens to one of the scientists that experimented on her. In RE3, we see what becomes of the people who didn't stand up and try to stop Umbrella when they had the chance (reference to Jill's first diary entry in that game). In RE4, we learn about what happened to Umbrella Pharmaceuticals at the start of the game. In RE5, we see what becomes of Wesker and Spenser.
@@EricToTheScionti Yes, that's what happened to her in the RE1 part of the Wesker side of the Umbrella Chronicles. But RE3, RE4, and RE5 all mention the downfall of Umbrella in the ways that I mentioned. RE3 = Raccoon City is gone. RE4 = Umbrella went bankrupt. RE5 = Spenser and Wesker aren't around any more.
Lisa has always been my favorite "antagonist" from the Resident Evil series and left a permanent impact on me when I played the game growing up. A character that is presented as a horrifying monster but harbors an incredibly tragic past. She's a rare case in which she is terrifying but, at the same time, you grow to deeply empathize with her the more you uncover about her as you play the game. You wish you could help her but she's too far gone due to Umbrella's experiments on her poor tortured soul and body. She's one of the most tragic villains in gaming. Also worth noting: the giant eyeball on her back is one of the signs of the G-virus. William Birkin ends up getting the same iconic giant eye when he infects himself with the virus.
Quite an interesting dichotomy between Lisa Trevor & the Nemesis, the latter of who was without question an unstoppable force of nature, yet what made Ms.Trevor far more complex and tragic, aside from the fact she's the original "Big Bad", is the suffering and deformation she's endured, that and her LONG search for her beloved mother. A mother's love for her child is truly powerful, so too is a daughter's love for her mother! ^.^
As one of the most tragic characters in RE I thank you for giving us the viewer a new light on the tormented girl known as Lisa and not the monster she was saw as! Thanks Muse again for amazing content!
And considering in the Bible that Golgotha means “place of the skull”, Lisa’s skull looks rather terrifyingly skull-like adds to this in a smaller manner.
Kinda makes u wonder like umbrella rly struck gold whn it came to Lisa and golgotha cause this was legit as close to divinity as any RE villain would ever get and the bitter irony is spencer pretty much messed up tht for himself after sending hunk unit to Birkin,ahhh makes u wonder what woulda happened had spencer just given Birkin the board member seat he wanted,wt coulda happened to REs world if he had done tht
There's a Resident Evil roleplay group on Twitter and Lisa is there spending most of her time watching movies and tweeting death threats at Wesker and Birkin. Her favourite types of movie are movies from the 60s that she watched with her family and hyperviolent extreme horror revenge thrillers. She loved Martyrs.
Technically it doesn't. The devs thought about naming it Golgotha Virus at some point, but they discarded the idea and simply went with G-virus instead. So the G in G-virus means nothing.
A fine forensic character analysis. Never knew she appeared in other games, I thought she was just a throwaway character in the remake. However brief, her story is indelibly tragic. P.S. your voice really suit these types of themes... at times it reminded me of the narrator from Autopsy on HBO, Marlene Sanders - it’s a compliment.
There is an indirect reference to her in Revelations. George Trevor designed the boat the game takes place on. He's responsible for all the whimsical puzzles.
I really appreciated the inclusion of this new character, it's twisted, very disturbing and more importantly tragic. This is Silent hill calibre story telling and I LOVE IT!
While I wouldn't go so far as claiming Lisa as the one that inspired Mr. X (After all, the "Pursuer" concept existed since PS1 as an expansion on the original Tyrant: The one boss that would chase you everywhere.), Lisa is the first monster in RE that has a Silent Hill-esque creepy and tragic feeling to her, further emphasizing how greedy and inhumane Umbrella is.
Excellent video! In the last encounter with Lisa, it is possible to knock her off the cliff at any moment during the fight with the rocket launcher. She can suffer some damage without dying and will tend to not follow you but she will move towards the edge of the cliff, another shot(with any weapon, I think) will do the trick.
Excellently beautiful video truly I couldn't imagine someone makin a better vid regarding umbrellas 1st and most dangerous test subject thn what I've seen her and I love hw u noticed the biblical references around her story,specifically the part where u explain why the virus tht was born outta her was named gologtha,also I just noticed tht another subtle biblical element surrounding her story is the fact she came bk to life after being "killed" by umbrellas soldiers 3 days later,since thy monitored her vital signs for 3 days and confirmed her dead after "killin" her with anti tank weaponry
@@skatemo100 George Trevor you mean, and no the crimson head elder isn't george trevor. He wasn't used in the progenitor virus experiments. he was simply just murdered.
Very late comment, I know. But I recently replayed the remake for Halloween. You mentioned, "it gave the first resident evil something it was missing". This is true. It's not just the introduction of a mindless unstoppable monster. It's, like you said, tragic. A personal story of how a family was destroyed by this corporation. The father meant to waste away within the walls of his creation. The mother to die as a test subject. The daughter meant to suffer as an abomination for decades. Dude! Really makes it a deeper game.

I thought it was implied that she killed her mother because she thought she was a fake? Maybe not, though... if she could recognize her corpse, she should be able to recognize her alive, right?
No, her mother died after being injected with the progenitor virus. Umbrella scientists tried to control her by making a double of her mother but Lisa recognized the woman as an imposter and killed her. Then she proceeded to take her face because her mother "was going to need it,".
Muse, in your other videos you explained that you use a lot of books and dictionaries on symbols while working on videos. But could you please recommend any reliable online sources to check symbols? Or provide names of the authors that you use?

Lisa's story has to be one of the most horribly twisted yet tragic tales in a videogame.

7:36 The same sort of eye on the shoulders or sides of G-Virus creatures.
You should make a video about the Orphanage in RE2 remake. That's probably the most disturbing lore in the franchise.

Her favourite types of movie are movies from the 60s that she watched with her family and hyperviolent extreme horror revenge thrillers. She loved Martyrs.
She has also managed to befriend Ashley and Krauser
Great video. Thank you.
THE G IN G-VIRUS STANDS FOR GOLGATHA!?! Been an RE fan for nearly 20 years, can't believe I just learned this.😮
