I always suspected that Ethan was infected, but I didn't think he actually died and was just another mold monster like the bakers. Now the "Welcome to the family son" hits differently.

@@apockypocky2345 I feel like mother miranda was taken advantage by the connections(one of Umbrella's competition), she said they assisted her, more like they just want her creation and make it into a weapon, the connections didn't really intend to revive her daughter eva. I think there is a mole in chris team or the BSAA, there was that guy or at least the one who informed him said "there are no signs of genome editing" but i beg to differ , BSAA started acting suspiciously so it's not that far fetch. Maybe that's why ethan and her daughter is special because it might be an improved version of the megamycete that was inside eveline. And maybe it plays a part on why mother miranda was weakened by rose. Or maybe eveline interfered with the revival of eva since technically rose is the daughter of ethan so in some way she is connected to eveline but also eveline is weak enough that she cannot possess rose. I just imagine that after those events in RE8, rose could have intense connection between eva being her guardian angel and eveline her demon since eva and eveline have the strongest connection to the megamycete and that might be a factor in how much presence they have inside rose's mind. That's just my theory though.
You also got to remember when Lady D tasted his blood and said "Hmmmm starting to go a little stale" that's cuz his body was already dead and just regenerating with the mold.
@@RiderGeats Oh no that wasn't shapeshifting, she ages rapidly. Her being a failure was she didn't revive into eva but in the eyes of the connections she was a successful BOW. I think the connections intentionally designed it that way without informing mother miranda and a mole in the BSAA might be covering up that fact. Remember she was designed to be a BOW by the connections not restoring the eva as they promise. That's my theory at least.
that's because TOO MUCH DAMAGE will make Ethan's body give in lol, you'll likely to die from being attacked by the lycans than your heart being taken by mother miranda
@Wynvale Spoilers: In the end of RE8, you could see rose grown up, and as she gets into a car, you can see man on the road, if you zoom in you could see a black jacket and a damaged hand, possibly might be Ethan? He is mold afterall.
Actually the reason Ethan turned into a molded version of himself wasn’t because of eating the Bakers food, he was killed by Jack in the beginning of 7.
Right after the iconic "welcome to the family son" line and he gets punched, Jack crushed Ethan's skull with his foot. So when he gets stomped, that was his death
@@depressedlink7619 my brother and I said he had to die. Jack didnt pull any punches he killed the cop so easy...so why not Ether? But this was headcanon some years ago. I guess now we were somewhat right
They aren’t BSAA, Chris left BSAA because they became rotten and are using bio weapons instead of destroying them. The Hound Wolf Squad is a small task force Chris made on his own. The concept art description will tell you.
@@joepeacock9746 Solo it’s Chris hand picked squad, look at the concept art in the Extra Content shop buy all of the ones pertaining to them and it will tell you in the description
I don't agree. Chris being the villian? I mean, he seemed to be but, is Chris, he can't be. And about lady D, I think they just tryed not to spoil the game so they made a teaser that was based on the 1/5 of the game, and It went surprisingly good with all the memes and everything so they just continued with it.
@@sebaloko99bt There’s nothing to agree or disagree about. In the trailers, Chris is portrayed as a villain who betrays Ethan. Even the game’s cover (my profile pic) makes it seem like Chris is either a villain or double agent of some kind with the half man half Lycan image.
@@LegendaryManSlayer93 I interpreted the cover as symbolism of Redfields rogueness in RE8 as he is leading his own team and is freelance. It's def insinuated in trailers he's an enemy though, just a classic red hering
@@VeinEnergy yeah i like your interpretation. It’s probably what capcom was thinking too. Chris being a “lone wolf” among actual wolves. Like i said, I thought the image suggested he could be a double agent aiding the Lycans and a “benevolent” organization.
You guys have good reasons Chris should have not put them near her castle then less men and people wouldn't be dead in front of Ethan he didn't need to relive that nightmare
from that what i understand Chris didn't knew exact location of Miranda HQ and the syndicate when he put Ethan in village. also Chris tried to stop Miranda in Ethan House. so even if he knew Miranda is there he couldn't attack openly so Ethan and Rose won't get killed by his reckless actions. and he had to stay put till his squad arrives to have best chance on doing things right and saving them. i don't belive that Chris used them as bait to lure Miranda. (but it's only my opinion) because as in video is told he had no clues about syndicate. Also Miranda realize how precious Rose is after sometime after her birth so she kidnapped Mia and shapeshift into her to check if her suspicions about rose are true. After her cover was blown by Chris and wolf pack, she just kidnapped Rose. in my eyes in chopper when you see chris he slams his hand against wall. if you take this as emotional thing he was pissed on him self that he couldn't save Ethan and everything started coz of him and his decision where to send Ethan with Mia. also his decision was made right after rescue in RE7. so lets call it 2,5 years before Village coz they had to take medical threatment. (and if rose had 6 months when RE8 starts that means only that they lived around 2 years in peace). so blaming Chris about something about what he had no idea is just pointless. btw it's only my point of view.
@leonardo swain possible, or maybe he had a connection with Umbrella or someone in the BSAA, since that time Chris was in BSAA and they became corrupt or something
Well, at least they give you a proper and "logical" explanation to why Ethan was able to take so much damage, get so many broken bones and ultimately bond his severed legs and hands back.
I did enjoy that both 7 and 8's villains are very sympathetic. The conversation w Jack and Ethan in 7 shows this, but each Lord in 8 truly had no choice in what and who they became. The least sympathetic of the 4 being Dimistrecu. Moreau only wants approval and acceptance, Heisenberg was forced into his position and resents Miranda over it, and Donna is mentally ill (also noted with "low brain function") therefore may not truly understand what is going on. I especially felt sad over Moreau and Heisenberg after their sections. Even Miranda is unable to accept her loss and grieve properly, causing her to do what she has to regain what she has lost. I also see a metaphor for toxic family dynamics, hereditary trauma and the horrors of becoming a new parent within the context of this game as well.
@@bandardantoly @peylo66 now that i think abt it, Miranda's "family" is like the exact opposite as Ethan's family, while Ethan is grateful to have Rose and will do anything to save his daughter but Miranda couldn't accept her daughter's death even tho she already have 4 children She could've raise and love properly I kinda dont know half of what i was talking abt but you get the idea
@@Youarekenough Miranda got really obsessed about her daughter's death, can't accept it even after a century had passed, and fucks up an entire village for that. Really sad, but may she rest in peace :'
I think the timeskip isn't really that much. I reckon that due to her powers, rose actually aged quicker than usual. And evidence of this is on the rose flask. You can see that the developers put a remark that says "Warning:not being given serum will result in rapid aging." Game developers wouldn't put that detail in the game unless they want to imply it's a possibility.
I just find it ironic that the children's tale the main bad guy was reading to the baby was clear foreshadowing. All the way down to the mythical beings actually being clones of the 4 lords. After beating the game and hearing the ending of the story I would have NEVER picked that book to read to the child if I were in Miranda's shoes
I feel the book was made by mother Miranda to try and tutor rose into what she wanted and the true ending was made as the result of ethans fight against her
My explanation to this odd behaviour of Miranda giving up her secrets was sheer confidence in her ability to defeat Ethan, and at the same time the insanity that she was not speaking to rose, but her own daughter and thusly inviting her to her "kingdom". It kind of makes sense if you consider the lengths that she goes to in the game.
It's also a parallel to rose' story, ass in the credit scene it ends with the father(ethan) showing up to fight the witch while the mother frees the child from.the mirror and flees, while the father sacrifices himself so they can escape
I knew it, i knew Ethan was an BOW! After i saw him Sticking his arm back on After Mrs.GiantVampireLady cut it off, i just thought „hold on a sec something aint right with Ethan!“
Ethan is not a BOW...He was killed but the didn't die then cause the mold infected him but his consciousness was still intact that's why he didn't turn into mold monsters like RE7 back then and able to survive and He wasn't fully infected, he was partially infected otherwise he would have turned into those ugly monsters after taking so much damages
I got emotional when Ethan made the ultimate sacrifice and also when the message "The Father's story is now done". I recently became a father within 2.5 years and relate more to these types of stories. Great game. I have 1 more trophy left for the platinum! (S rank in mercenaries; it's going to be a pain in the ass)
RE is assembling the ultimate traumatized super kids, Sherry with the G- virus, Manuela with the T-Veronica, Rose with the mold, Jake with the progenitor virus and Natalia.
I just wish they would do more with those people. I liked Manuela. Sherry and Jake, too. But we might never see them again, because Capcom had to create something totally new. And add Chris for... comfort or whatever. For me 7 and Village are great horror games. But I don't like them as an actual part of the RE franchise.
Not all of them. They got infected because Lucas made a deal with the shadow group called “ the connection” to have the experimental mold under the estate. Eveline was able to take advantage of them due to the initial infection.
When Jack said welcome to the family I knew something didn't feel right that line was stuck with me through out all of Bio Hazard. It all makes sense now
Also the ending really hit me hard. I lost my father this year prematurely due to covid, he protected me and my mom from it forcing us to stay away and stuff. Not like hero stuff but…
Ethan literally could’ve come back as a monster when he died but naw he came back to save his daughter And sacrifice himself to save her Mad Respect😪✊🏻
I get the feeling that the next game is going to be playing as Rosemary going after the connections and Ethan is going to be a weird ghost version of himself that only rose can see and he guides her or something
I get Detroit become human ending vibes and also similar movies and ideas where you basically have an evil(eve) and a good(Ethan) trying to guide Rose with their separate intentions
A lot of players missed the earliest "hint" of Ethan's true nature. When he first got into the village, his hand was cut from a barbed wire. When he crawl under a fallen cabinet, you can see his hand completely healed. No cut marks. It was a little hard to see because of the blood on the floor that he touched. It made a little cutscene of Ethan looking at his bloody hand, but I didn't noticed the cut was fully healed. Another hint, when Ethan was captured by the daughters to present to Lady D, we see that he ripped his right hand off the hook. A little later, when we first see one of the daughters roaming the castle, the part where you have to drop down the dungeon, it was shown that Ethan's right hand is completely healed - no scar of the ripped part.
I thought it was clear he was infected by just being able to see eveleine in re7 and speak to jack baker. Like how else could he have spoke to jack if he wasn’t mold infected?
@@thecommentsofyoutube7265 yeah it's obvious that Ethan was indeed infected in Re7, but we didn't know that the Ethan in Re7 has been a dead man all along
eveline always wanted a dad since mia was her "mommy" she didnt know mia had a husband so thats why she did jack. then when ethan came and died by jack baker evelen ressurected him with the mold because she was her real dad in her eyes. thats why jack says " Im her dad and now she wasnts ethan to be"
Let’s not ignore the fact that Rose was reborn right before the last boss fight with Miranda. I think we can’t disregard that scene. Something happened to rose right there when she came out of the mold.
She is Eveline reincarnation. And I think she also has memories of Ethan as in that post credit scene she said "I know" while smiling. And that's why she is disgusted with her former live as she got angry when that agent called her Eveline.
@@CanopusLux Miranda killed her but her consciousness remains intact because she's stronger than her, that's why when she got reincarnated by Miranda, she did not turn into Eva.
@@zonatedspore97acamas It's a meme or a joke called the Redfield lineage. Long story short, Chris' mission is to continue the Redfield lineage and wants Leon to bang Claire so the Redfield bloodline can continue (so someone can continue defending mankind from the abominations), but Leon likes Ada Wong (Leon always chases Ada Wong in the games), then there's Jill who volunteers to be banged by Chris to help in his "mission" but Chris views Jill as, what some call it, his strictly-platonic-best-friend (Some of the fandom still pairing ChrisXJill and now more adamant about it after RE:Revelations where Chris kept ignoring Jessica's advances and Parker telling Jessica "Maybe he's taken" after Jessica complained about Chris ignoring her advances while Jill and Chris walk away).
The story of resident evil is just one of the best stories ever 25 years of games and every single one of them is connected in some way one to another this is just a brilliant job in creating one of the best franchises ever in gaming
They will defo bring back Heisenberg as you never see his body evaporate unlike the others who are definitively dead, for a Storyline similar to the Lucas Chris story in 7. And I imagine they’ll have a DLC similar to the banned footage preceding the events focusing on Lady d as she doesn’t get enough story time in the main game.
This is an interesting set up because it could mean that Rose is the protag of 9 or that she's a primary npc. In either case, the idea of a character with a healing factor and can talk to the dead sounds like an interesting topic to visit in resident evil.
@@goober_uno This. There is no way you play as Rose in a horror game. She is probably stronger than Wesker. She would steamroll all enemies. Thats not a horror game.
Best Resident Evil story of the series. Love how they did such a good job expanding the lore. I also get the feeling that seeing Rose as a teenager doesn't necessarily mean over a decade have past. She simply could've grown incredibly rapidly like Eveline did in RE 7
The guy at the end ( the graveyard scene) is actually a full fledged Ethan Winters character model. Not sure if used as a filler or if actually intended.
I think she does everyone assuming that time jump like 15 to twenty year time jump but I can't see capcom pulling that when there so much especially since this gonna be a Trilogy.
@@teekay220 yeah and to me that would be a strange way to end trilogy with a time jump like they done a few years from code Veronica to four but to do that would leave so many unanswered questions plus bio terror just stops? But maybe next number game won't feature rose .... I think our theory turn out true Capcom done this strange stuff. Hopefully we won't get that futuristic stuff lol.
I was really just working off the assumption that Rose had indeed aged rapidly in the post credits scene. It feels unlikely that the next game would literally time jump 15+ years into the future.
So now we've got 3 perfect beings in the RE world sherry birkins with the G virus jake with uroboros and now Rose with mold I'm curious if they'll do something big with these characters 👀
Holy shit I didn't even notice the figure walking towards the car in the distance at the end of the post-credits scene. I was just like "why is it holding on the shot for so long'? Especially since my PC decided to lag out and drop frames on the last few cutscenes, I thought that was also happening, lmao.
At 13:00 the figure is the back is literally Ethan, now when I say that I mean it is literally the model for Ethan it can be seen in photo mode but whether it is meant to be Ethan or just a reused asset is yet to be determined.
Maybe we'll get another Chris dlc, but instead of being set after the base game, it will be more in the style of Separate Ways from RE4, where you play as chris sneaking around the village while ethan was busy with the four lords
i feel like that would kinda be a waste of a dlc. we saw chris on like 2 or 3 occasions during the main story. i would much rather them do a chris dlc after the main story ends. someone mentioned doing a dlc of chris going to the bsaa hq in europe. i would love to see the new re engine in a city environment. whatever capcom does next with RE, im excited i want more so bad.
maybe i’m thinking into this too much, but it’s interesting they said “The father’s story is now done” and not just using Ethan’s name. i’m sure they were referring to ethan but also maybe they tried to make everyone think they were and there’s more to Ethan’s story!
What disappointed me about Village is how we never got to see Ethan's actual face. If you're going to kill him off permanently, it'd be nice to have known what he actually looked like.
You know I was just thinking that it makes sense to show his face at the end, in an epic way, but I don’t mind it. It’s a bit different than what I expected, but it makes me forget the game less. L
@@thecommentsofyoutube7265 EXACTLY! I thought everyone forgot about that. Buuuuut the mold did get blown up at the end of village... buuuut it's confirmed that the sillhouette is ethan because of how in game you can legitimately see the sillhouette nly has 3 fingers on his left hand
But with all of that considered, Ethan essentially was the perfect bio weapon, he may not be if he cant be controlled and has his free will in tact, but other wise he did all of that on his own with a relatively simple ability from his infection
Chris isint a member of the BSAA anymore, at the end of RE 7 he joined blue umbrella. A PMC founded by former Umbrella employees who had no idea about the kind of research they were doing. Just a quick correction I understand that the people who wrote the script may not have picked up on that in 7
Incorrect, he’s still BSAA in RE7, and ran that mission jointly with Blue Umbrella. Chris was brought in the mission due to his expertise with BOWs. In the Baker Incident Report, Chris took the BSAA’s Hound Wolf Squad and went rogue to investigate Miranda. It’s implied Chris knows about the BSAA’s dealings.
_Chris isint a member of the BSAA anymore_ Chris is still BSAA. see Baker Incident Report. Chris did not join blue umbrella, he worked with them in re7....
This. I wanted to make sure no one brought this up before I mentioned it. I’m guessing they’re setting up the story for either DLC or Resi 9. Although it’s also possible they were just using his model but didn’t mean to literally have it be him story-wise. Which would be strange but not impossible.
@@Aarkwrite I'm guessing 7/8/9 is going to be Ethan's trilogy, then hopefully we can go back to "proper" Resident Evil Third Person games again after that. Unfortunately, something tells me that because of the success of these First Person games they're going to continue it being that way.
Genuinely shocked that the BSAA have essentially swapped places with Umbrella and Neo-Umbrella. Also shocked that the future of the numbered titles are looking to be decades past the events of this.. I wonder what the original cast are gonna look like at whatever age they'll be.. Definitely got me interested in the future of Resident Evil. Also, is this writing lifted from another article? I have heard a lot of this word for word from a separate place?
Yeah. BSAA got infiltrated by the Bioweapon Industry. We can look forward to nicer more clandestine labs now if they're mainstream again. Instead if cave labs and villages.
All in all its like hitting Umbrella became one head of a hydra. The players not yet stopped simply packed up their labs and waited for other institutions to co opt, continue with biz as usual.
Leon Kennedy comes into the next game somehow... Surely. We need to see what he, Claire and jill have been doing, after all they are just IMPORTANT CHARACTERS in the RE saga.
@@CarTa3 if you remember in 7 (it’s been four years so I don’t blame you) the Bakers are constantly talking about “accepting her gift” when it comes to Eveline and the mold.
Keep in mind, in RE7 it is stated that Evelyn ages rapidly. In 3 years time she went from a little girl to an old woman, only portraying herself as a little girl in hallucinations. Now I don’t know if this applies here, but seeing Rose grown up made me think it’s only been a few months to a year since the events of Village.
No, eveline was engineered to do that with medicine administrated to stop the aging she stopped getting the med hince the failsafe for her to age to death was able to work.. Rose isnt engineered she was born with powers
Incase it hasn't been said: the person walking towards the camera in final scene is Ethan- literally. It's also the only time Ethan is seen with his head intact. It could just be a resued asset but I doubt it, I bet it has more to do with the data stored in the mold.
I mean yes, by Holywood logic, unless he´s seen dying, he survives, even if what supposedly killed him was a mini-nuke. I will still doubt that he´s alive though, he was literally crumbling to bits
@@kodymcbride6901 We already know that the mold holds the consciousness of anyone connected to it so it stands to reason that Rose is able to communicate/feel Ethan with her after his death.
@@figarofugazi5462 Money. Sequel. Advertisement. We've all connected with Ethan on an emotional level now after this game, so it's pretty safe to assume Capcom'll use him as advertisement for the next game.
@@skinnymulligan5210 A survival horror entry with the OG characters would be hard (especially for Chris and Leon). It would have to be more action oriented. But it should be in the style of 4 and 5 and not 6
the BIG question is: Why did they choose to keep Ethan’s face a secret? I thought they would finally do a face reveal before he killed himself but they didn’t smh
Yeah i was waiting for him to turn around and look at the camera or for it to zoom on his face but never did that annoyed me like he's going to fucking die anyways show us his face!
Ethan dying was actually super sad. I would like it if he came back somehow but if the next game followed Rose that would be cool. Also I would assume the BSAA super soldier thing at the end is setting up a future dlc.
Ethan winters is my favorite character in the series. I hope he comes back, resident evil 7&8 are master pieces. They were both such an awesome roller coaster of a game.
@@terran236 obviously you never played all the th Resident Evil games! The irony is that super powered engineered people will safe the day! Lol Read in between the lines! Something shouldn't have to be said! COMMON SENSE!!
@Yannick H. Yea, even chris's face is already old enough when the last time he saw ethan alive. Now rose became teenager. I think the original character must be sitting behind desk doing paper work and delegating jobs. But for young'un generations like i mentioned above, now is their time. Especially they have like some kind of super power. Maybe life longevity is one of them.
The million dollar question: Where does the RE Series go after Villiage??? Is RE9 going to be an in-between game, explaining what actions Chris took at the BSAA facility in Europe, or do we jump forward almost 2 decades, with RE9 focusing around Rose??
I'd say why not both? Have flashbacks like RE5 had, but have Rose's story intertwined somehow? I mean she can control the mould and is possibly a hybrid between Mia being a normal human and Ethan being influenced the mould years before Rose was born.
Wow, this is such an insightful video. Thanks for sharing the deep depth of explaining the storyarc. I was so confused how the hell Ethan can attach his hand back after getting severed by Lady D. It makes so much sense when Lady D mentioned Ethan's stale blood after she drank from his left palm.
I totally saw the connection between Mother Miranda and Eveline coming, although I thought Eveline would have turned out to have been Mother Miranda’s actual biological daughter somehow. RE7 was about a daughter recreating a mother she never had, RE8 was about a mother recreating a daughter she once lost What I didn’t see coming was the retcon that Umbrella was created because Oswald Spencer knowing Mother Miranda. That’s a pretty bold move for a 25 year old franchise, yet it actually plays really well and didn’t come off as too lame or contrived
I think the BSAA knew Ethan was a mold person and used him as a prototype for the soldiers at the end because it's kinda weird to give him military training(we learn at the beginning when looking through books)
So interested with the next stories, and also Rose character. She remind me of that girl that Claire adopted in RE Revelations 2 who also has some kind of power. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I always suspected that Ethan was infected, but I didn't think he actually died and was just another mold monster like the bakers. Now the "Welcome to the family son" hits differently.

Maybe that's why ethan and her daughter is special because it might be an improved version of the megamycete that was inside eveline. And maybe it plays a part on why mother miranda was weakened by rose. Or maybe eveline interfered with the revival of eva since technically rose is the daughter of ethan so in some way she is connected to eveline but also eveline is weak enough that she cannot possess rose. I just imagine that after those events in RE8, rose could have intense connection between eva being her guardian angel and eveline her demon since eva and eveline have the strongest connection to the megamycete and that might be a factor in how much presence they have inside rose's mind. That's just my theory though.
You also got to remember when Lady D tasted his blood and said "Hmmmm starting to go a little stale" that's cuz his body was already dead and just regenerating with the mold.

Remember she was designed to be a BOW by the connections not restoring the eva as they promise. That's my theory at least.

@Wynvale Spoilers: In the end of RE8, you could see rose grown up, and as she gets into a car, you can see man on the road, if you zoom in you could see a black jacket and a damaged hand, possibly might be Ethan? He is mold afterall.
Actually the reason Ethan turned into a molded version of himself wasn’t because of eating the Bakers food, he was killed by Jack in the beginning of 7.
Deep down in always knew he was dead. Well I thought he was some sort of zombie or BOW
I always believed that he was infected. But that it is then so bad...wow :D
Right after the iconic "welcome to the family son" line and he gets punched, Jack crushed Ethan's skull with his foot. So when he gets stomped, that was his death
@@depressedlink7619 my brother and I said he had to die. Jack didnt pull any punches he killed the cop so easy...so why not Ether? But this was headcanon some years ago. I guess now we were somewhat right
@@storageunit2683 he killed the cop easy easy because he split his head in two with a shovel
They aren’t BSAA, Chris left BSAA because they became rotten and are using bio weapons instead of destroying them. The Hound Wolf Squad is a small task force Chris made on his own. The concept art description will tell you.
Are they totally solo or affiliated with blue umbrella? The health stims you use as chris have their logo on them.
@@joepeacock9746 Solo it’s Chris hand picked squad, look at the concept art in the Extra Content shop buy all of the ones pertaining to them and it will tell you in the description
@@kakashiproductions didn't Chris have the Blue Umbrella logo on him at the end of Biohazard?
@@NLNORTHSIDER in 7, blue umbrella contacted BSAA for assistance, and they sent chris. So he's working for BSAA, assisting BU
I’m just confused because when you play as Chris in Village, he has Umbrella health items. So it’s strange. I thought he was with Blue Umbrella still.

@Your Favorite Killer Spectre now that girl will continue Chris' bloodline
Nah, I've seen worst.
@@ChrisAlbertH47 I have a feeling that I don"t wanna know but is it evil within 2? or nuch more.
Let's talk about Capcom's gret marketing making us think that Lady D was the main villain and that Chris turned evil.
I don't agree. Chris being the villian? I mean, he seemed to be but, is Chris, he can't be. And about lady D, I think they just tryed not to spoil the game so they made a teaser that was based on the 1/5 of the game, and It went surprisingly good with all the memes and everything so they just continued with it.
@@sebaloko99bt There’s nothing to agree or disagree about. In the trailers, Chris is portrayed as a villain who betrays Ethan. Even the game’s cover (my profile pic) makes it seem like Chris is either a villain or double agent of some kind with the half man half Lycan image.
What is there to talk about?
@@LegendaryManSlayer93 I interpreted the cover as symbolism of Redfields rogueness in RE8 as he is leading his own team and is freelance. It's def insinuated in trailers he's an enemy though, just a classic red hering
@@VeinEnergy yeah i like your interpretation. It’s probably what capcom was thinking too. Chris being a “lone wolf” among actual wolves. Like i said, I thought the image suggested he could be a double agent aiding the Lycans and a “benevolent” organization.
If Chris wanted to protect the Winters, maybe putting them right next door to Miranda's HQ wasn't the best idea
Yeah but Miranda would have not get hold of Ethan and Rose if Chris didn't put them next door in that village
You guys have good reasons Chris should have not put them near her castle then less men and people wouldn't be dead in front of Ethan he didn't need to relive that nightmare
from that what i understand Chris didn't knew exact location of Miranda HQ and the syndicate when he put Ethan in village.
also Chris tried to stop Miranda in Ethan House. so even if he knew Miranda is there he couldn't attack openly so Ethan and Rose won't get killed by his reckless actions. and he had to stay put till his squad arrives to have best chance on doing things right and saving them.
i don't belive that Chris used them as bait to lure Miranda. (but it's only my opinion)
because as in video is told he had no clues about syndicate.
Also Miranda realize how precious Rose is after sometime after her birth so she kidnapped Mia and shapeshift into her to check if her suspicions about rose are true.
After her cover was blown by Chris and wolf pack, she just kidnapped Rose.
in my eyes in chopper when you see chris he slams his hand against wall.
if you take this as emotional thing he was pissed on him self that he couldn't save Ethan and everything started coz of him and his decision where to send Ethan with Mia.
also his decision was made right after rescue in RE7. so lets call it 2,5 years before Village coz they had to take medical threatment. (and if rose had 6 months when RE8 starts that means only that they lived around 2 years in peace).
so blaming Chris about something about what he had no idea is just pointless.
btw it's only my point of view.
@@aeoyndjuric1679 you got a point there
Him big, not smart
It is cool how Heisenberg commented on Chris's boulder punching abilities.
Yep, good ol re5 😂
How the heck did he know though
@leonardo swain possible, or maybe he had a connection with Umbrella or someone in the BSAA, since that time Chris was in BSAA and they became corrupt or something
@@otsoga0105 Just a nice reference, I bet capcom doesn’t care to explain it
Why does he say "Mirander" instead of "Miranda"?
Well, at least they give you a proper and "logical" explanation to why Ethan was able to take so much damage, get so many broken bones and ultimately bond his severed legs and hands back.
Makes you wonder if this was always the plan
@@brxnv_ I think it is always planned because Re:village project actually started before re2 remake so it's probably planned all along.
I always thought those med bottles were magic or some dumb bullshit. The fucker reattached a hand and leg with them. Glad we got an explanation.
@@Webbygears I mean his whole left hand was reattached by some staplers in RE7. I was suspicious af at that point already.
but how can he bleed like normal person though? he should be bleeding mold right? especially when a lycan gnawed his left hand
i love that the backstory of a lot of resident evil villains is actually pretty damn sad
I did enjoy that both 7 and 8's villains are very sympathetic. The conversation w Jack and Ethan in 7 shows this, but each Lord in 8 truly had no choice in what and who they became. The least sympathetic of the 4 being Dimistrecu. Moreau only wants approval and acceptance, Heisenberg was forced into his position and resents Miranda over it, and Donna is mentally ill (also noted with "low brain function") therefore may not truly understand what is going on. I especially felt sad over Moreau and Heisenberg after their sections. Even Miranda is unable to accept her loss and grieve properly, causing her to do what she has to regain what she has lost.
I also see a metaphor for toxic family dynamics, hereditary trauma and the horrors of becoming a new parent within the context of this game as well.
@@bandardantoly i second everything you just said
@@bandardantoly @peylo66 now that i think abt it, Miranda's "family" is like the exact opposite as Ethan's family, while Ethan is grateful to have Rose and will do anything to save his daughter but Miranda couldn't accept her daughter's death even tho she already have 4 children She could've raise and love properly
I kinda dont know half of what i was talking abt but you get the idea
@@bandardantoly I love everything you said. I even don't play the games but really enjoy the lore! Thanks for this.
@@Youarekenough Miranda got really obsessed about her daughter's death, can't accept it even after a century had passed, and fucks up an entire village for that. Really sad, but may she rest in peace :'
I think the timeskip isn't really that much. I reckon that due to her powers, rose actually aged quicker than usual. And evidence of this is on the rose flask. You can see that the developers put a remark that says "Warning:not being given serum will result in rapid aging." Game developers wouldn't put that detail in the game unless they want to imply it's a possibility.
Good point. Evelin had a problem with aging too, she aged too quickly. So it’d make sense if Rose didn’t age properly either
The "rapid aging" for the flasks meant that her body parts would deteriorate if they weren't given preservatives.
Isn’t rose meant to be the “perfect” version though ?
@@thecommentsofyoutube7265 Exactly the point. So this comment contradicts Rose's powers.
@@thecommentsofyoutube7265 yeah rose is supposed to be the perfected version of eveline so she wouldn’t have those drawbacks
I just find it ironic that the children's tale the main bad guy was reading to the baby was clear foreshadowing. All the way down to the mythical beings actually being clones of the 4 lords. After beating the game and hearing the ending of the story I would have NEVER picked that book to read to the child if I were in Miranda's shoes
I feel the book was made by mother Miranda to try and tutor rose into what she wanted and the true ending was made as the result of ethans fight against her
My explanation to this odd behaviour of Miranda giving up her secrets was sheer confidence in her ability to defeat Ethan, and at the same time the insanity that she was not speaking to rose, but her own daughter and thusly inviting her to her "kingdom". It kind of makes sense if you consider the lengths that she goes to in the game.
It's also a parallel to rose' story, ass in the credit scene it ends with the father(ethan) showing up to fight the witch while the mother frees the child from.the mirror and flees, while the father sacrifices himself so they can escape
I knew it, i knew Ethan was an BOW! After i saw him Sticking his arm back on After Mrs.GiantVampireLady cut it off, i just thought „hold on a sec something aint right with Ethan!“
I thought the chemfluid was super damn miraculous at that time containing super high speed regenerative tissue chemicals... lol
I mean, you see him doing the same thing with his leg on 7 after Jack hands him the Fluid, so you will think its the Fluid, not Ethan
The entire game I was thinking, how the hell is Ethan still alive
@@Quiqueleal85 I thought the same way! Damn I felt so stupid just thinking that!
Ethan is not a BOW...He was killed but the didn't die then cause the mold infected him but his consciousness was still intact that's why he didn't turn into mold monsters like RE7 back then and able to survive and He wasn't fully infected, he was partially infected otherwise he would have turned into those ugly monsters after taking so much damages
the line: „you are dead“ has a whole new meaning now💀
Someone said it was more like a reminder than a statement
“Thats my secret cap”
“Im always molded”
Shouldn’t it be: “I’m always moldy.”
I got emotional when Ethan made the ultimate sacrifice and also when the message "The Father's story is now done". I recently became a father within 2.5 years and relate more to these types of stories. Great game. I have 1 more trophy left for the platinum! (S rank in mercenaries; it's going to be a pain in the ass)
Congratulations! For being a father ... Lol not for your gaming achievement s. I mean, that's cool too. But..Congrats about your kid.
I played this game on VoS difficulty. I don’t believe getting S rank on mercenaries will be too hard for me…
RE is assembling the ultimate traumatized super kids, Sherry with the G- virus, Manuela with the T-Veronica, Rose with the mold, Jake with the progenitor virus and Natalia.
Except Natalia is just now Alex Wesker and thus Isn’t gonna help the others
Don't forget jill
@@lonelywolf5659 Jill isn't a kid
Well,that's the "Trauma pack" for ya
I just wish they would do more with those people. I liked Manuela. Sherry and Jake, too. But we might never see them again, because Capcom had to create something totally new. And add Chris for... comfort or whatever. For me 7 and Village are great horror games. But I don't like them as an actual part of the RE franchise.
I feel REALY bad for the bakers they where just some really chill cool people that got enffected
except Lucas, according to some notes in RE7 he was already a psycho before being infected
@@oalmademarcos yea didn't he kidnap his bully or something like that?
Not all of them. They got infected because Lucas made a deal with the shadow group called “ the connection” to have the experimental mold under the estate. Eveline was able to take advantage of them due to the initial infection.
@@EverythingGacha1 Yes, he did
@@zensai-gaming no. Eveline came, then the connections came and offered Lucas the antidote in exchange for his Cooperation in data gathering.
When Jack said welcome to the family I knew something didn't feel right that line was stuck with me through out all of Bio Hazard. It all makes sense now
Such good story telling 🔥
Also the ending really hit me hard. I lost my father this year prematurely due to covid, he protected me and my mom from it forcing us to stay away and stuff. Not like hero stuff but…
May he rest in peace brother
rest in piece to your father
all fathers are heros of our journey ❤
RIP to your father. 💔
It is hero stuff. RIP
Rest in peace
7&8 together have to be the most well written RE stories in the main series. A great arc.
Idk about that dude, the original trilogy with Wesker is pretty incredible
Anyone else heartbroken over the tragedy of Ethan
It was a good way to send off a character after 2 games, I enjoyed playing as him
Nope
he`s gone through so much pain, he deserved to live
@@kakarrot5115 damn.
I bet 5 bucks he is still alive
Ethan literally could’ve come back as a monster when he died but naw he came back to save his daughter And sacrifice himself to save her Mad Respect😪✊🏻
I get the feeling that the next game is going to be playing as Rosemary going after the connections and Ethan is going to be a weird ghost version of himself that only rose can see and he guides her or something
I get Detroit become human ending vibes and also similar movies and ideas where you basically have an evil(eve) and a good(Ethan) trying to guide Rose with their separate intentions
i can see that happening
Rose and Ethan having conversations in Rose's dreams.
That would be a great concept
Reznov Ethan? Hell yeah.
A lot of players missed the earliest "hint" of Ethan's true nature. When he first got into the village, his hand was cut from a barbed wire. When he crawl under a fallen cabinet, you can see his hand completely healed. No cut marks. It was a little hard to see because of the blood on the floor that he touched.
It made a little cutscene of Ethan looking at his bloody hand, but I didn't noticed the cut was fully healed.
Another hint, when Ethan was captured by the daughters to present to Lady D, we see that he ripped his right hand off the hook. A little later, when we first see one of the daughters roaming the castle, the part where you have to drop down the dungeon, it was shown that Ethan's right hand is completely healed - no scar of the ripped part.
I thought it was clear he was infected by just being able to see eveleine in re7 and speak to jack baker. Like how else could he have spoke to jack if he wasn’t mold infected?
@@thecommentsofyoutube7265 yeah it's obvious that Ethan was indeed infected in Re7, but we didn't know that the Ethan in Re7 has been a dead man all along
How can a man be almost dead?
Even earlier hint is when Jack tells u "welcome to the family son" in RE7. He killed u and made u literally one of them
is anyone else excited to find out what rose can do with her powers???? i really wanna know more about her
More than jake, that’s for sure.
eveline always wanted a dad since mia was her "mommy" she didnt know mia had a husband so thats why she did jack. then when ethan came and died by jack baker evelen ressurected him with the mold because she was her real dad in her eyes. thats why jack says " Im her dad and now she wasnts ethan to be"
Let’s not ignore the fact that Rose was reborn right before the last boss fight with Miranda. I think we can’t disregard that scene. Something happened to rose right there when she came out of the mold.
Sure
It is because she is more powerful than Miranda. Heisenberg said it.
But who was in the flasks? Can someone explain? So she really killed rose, put her in the flasks and then she came out of the mold?
She is Eveline reincarnation. And I think she also has memories of Ethan as in that post credit scene she said "I know" while smiling. And that's why she is disgusted with her former live as she got angry when that agent called her Eveline.
@@CanopusLux Miranda killed her but her consciousness remains intact because she's stronger than her, that's why when she got reincarnated by Miranda, she did not turn into Eva.
Now that Ethan is dead Chris need to pester Leon again to continue the Redfield bloodline 😂
And there we have the plot for RE9. 😂
Why pester Leon about it?
@@zonatedspore97acamas It's a meme or a joke called the Redfield lineage.
Long story short, Chris' mission is to continue the Redfield lineage and wants Leon to bang Claire so the Redfield bloodline can continue (so someone can continue defending mankind from the abominations), but Leon likes Ada Wong (Leon always chases Ada Wong in the games), then there's Jill who volunteers to be banged by Chris to help in his "mission" but Chris views Jill as, what some call it, his strictly-platonic-best-friend (Some of the fandom still pairing ChrisXJill and now more adamant about it after RE:Revelations where Chris kept ignoring Jessica's advances and Parker telling Jessica "Maybe he's taken" after Jessica complained about Chris ignoring her advances while Jill and Chris walk away).
@@lemuellala2 is there something special about the Redfield lineage? If not, then why not find someone else?
@@lemuellala2 also, did Jill actually volunteer to that?

The story of resident evil is just one of the best stories ever 25 years of games and every single one of them is connected in some way one to another this is just a brilliant job in creating one of the best franchises ever in gaming
True especially for a horror game, they really nailed with the stories for a long running franchise
eh it's good but compared to something like nier or god of war it's pretty meh
Well, at least the DLC possibilities are nearly endless with so much story content packed into this RE entry.
I loved the RE7 DLC especially Bedroom. I can't imagine how many DLCs ideas they've got cookin.
They will defo bring back Heisenberg as you never see his body evaporate unlike the others who are definitively dead, for a Storyline similar to the Lucas Chris story in 7. And I imagine they’ll have a DLC similar to the banned footage preceding the events focusing on Lady d as she doesn’t get enough story time in the main game.
@@mekkarain7136 I also hope we get a dlc for those villagers which were trapped in the house, those characters had potential.
Capcom needs DLCs that show what would happen if the other 3 lords got to take Ethan home
I’d want a Donna one so bad 😂
This is an interesting set up because it could mean that Rose is the protag of 9 or that she's a primary npc. In either case, the idea of a character with a healing factor and can talk to the dead sounds like an interesting topic to visit in resident evil.
There's no way she's not gonna be a playable character in the next game. That or they might give her a spin-off game/series.
@@goober_uno why?
@@ahmedmaniyaruni4300 because
Id rather not play as Rose. But I have a feeling it will happen.
@@goober_uno This. There is no way you play as Rose in a horror game. She is probably stronger than Wesker. She would steamroll all enemies. Thats not a horror game.
Best Resident Evil story of the series. Love how they did such a good job expanding the lore. I also get the feeling that seeing Rose as a teenager doesn't necessarily mean over a decade have past. She simply could've grown incredibly rapidly like Eveline did in RE 7
The guy at the end ( the graveyard scene) is actually a full fledged Ethan Winters character model. Not sure if used as a filler or if actually intended.
I'm betting Ethan Winters will be revived several games from now.
Probably as a Mold Weapon Hivemind.
Yeah, if Rose was crystalized, the technically none of the other bosses are dead either. Hope they bring Lady D back for more
Considering how bioweapons are sought after and in the hands of potential psychos, I wouldn’t rule it out.
It's supposed to be the last game
Yup and go after chrissssss
It would be crazy if Rose rapidly aged like Eveline but has more control over it.
I think she does everyone assuming that time jump like 15 to twenty year time jump but I can't see capcom pulling that when there so much especially since this gonna be a Trilogy.
@@MrHorrorfan92 that's what I think as well. If they really did a time jump that would put Chris and most of the other characters in their mid 60s lol
@@teekay220 yeah and to me that would be a strange way to end trilogy with a time jump like they done a few years from code Veronica to four but to do that would leave so many unanswered questions plus bio terror just stops? But maybe next number game won't feature rose .... I think our theory turn out true Capcom done this strange stuff.
Hopefully we won't get that futuristic stuff lol.
I was really just working off the assumption that Rose had indeed aged rapidly in the post credits scene. It feels unlikely that the next game would literally time jump 15+ years into the future.

Holy shit I didn't even notice the figure walking towards the car in the distance at the end of the post-credits scene. I was just like "why is it holding on the shot for so long'? Especially since my PC decided to lag out and drop frames on the last few cutscenes, I thought that was also happening, lmao.
“Welcome to the family, son” Insane foreshadowing
I just thought Ethan had really good meds to put his limbs back together lol
I got real suspicious when he just put his hand back on and it fused with his arm lol
At 13:00 the figure is the back is literally Ethan, now when I say that I mean it is literally the model for Ethan it can be seen in photo mode but whether it is meant to be Ethan or just a reused asset is yet to be determined.
It's too intentionally set up to be just an asset reuse. He was the only other person there and the car stopped right beside him.
Thank you for not spoiling it in the thumbnail.
I remember Jack Baker said to Ethan in 7 "welcome to the family"
Now i get it
I like how Ethan still survived through all of it even AFTER being nuked and is just walking to the car at the end
Chadthan
It's like everyone said. Man's just built different.
Took him 16 years to catch up on foot, but he caught up.
That's cause he's a father. /hj
Maybe we'll get another Chris dlc, but instead of being set after the base game, it will be more in the style of Separate Ways from RE4, where you play as chris sneaking around the village while ethan was busy with the four lords
i feel like that would kinda be a waste of a dlc. we saw chris on like 2 or 3 occasions during the main story. i would much rather them do a chris dlc after the main story ends. someone mentioned doing a dlc of chris going to the bsaa hq in europe. i would love to see the new re engine in a city environment. whatever capcom does next with RE, im excited i want more so bad.
maybe i’m thinking into this too much, but it’s interesting they said “The father’s story is now done” and not just using Ethan’s name. i’m sure they were referring to ethan but also maybe they tried to make everyone think they were and there’s more to Ethan’s story!
Calling it, if Rose is the protagonist or at least plays a big role in RE9, then Ethan will probably appear in a way similar to Eveline

You know I was just thinking that it makes sense to show his face at the end, in an epic way, but I don’t mind it. It’s a bit different than what I expected, but it makes me forget the game less. L

Look his face up on google. It's out there fully 3D rendered.
I'm gonna pretend that silhouette in the epilogue is Ethan because I'm in denial.

It is. His DNA is stored in the mold remember
@@thecommentsofyoutube7265 EXACTLY! I thought everyone forgot about that. Buuuuut the mold did get blown up at the end of village... buuuut it's confirmed that the sillhouette is ethan because of how in game you can legitimately see the sillhouette nly has 3 fingers on his left hand
But with all of that considered, Ethan essentially was the perfect bio weapon, he may not be if he cant be controlled and has his free will in tact, but other wise he did all of that on his own with a relatively simple ability from his infection
Resident Evil 9 Teaser Trailer, last frame of the video
Ethan: Here we are...
Chris isint a member of the BSAA anymore, at the end of RE 7 he joined blue umbrella. A PMC founded by former Umbrella employees who had no idea about the kind of research they were doing. Just a quick correction I understand that the people who wrote the script may not have picked up on that in 7
Also jack killed ethan when he first jumped him, not force feeding him the meat. Besides Ethan never ate it
Chris was working with Blue Umbrella on behalf of the BSAA, that’s confirmed in the Not A Hero DLC. He was working with both orgs.
Incorrect, he’s still BSAA in RE7, and ran that mission jointly with Blue Umbrella. Chris was brought in the mission due to his expertise with BOWs. In the Baker Incident Report, Chris took the BSAA’s Hound Wolf Squad and went rogue to investigate Miranda. It’s implied Chris knows about the BSAA’s dealings.
_Chris isint a member of the BSAA anymore_
Chris is still BSAA. see Baker Incident Report.

Genuinely shocked that the BSAA have essentially swapped places with Umbrella and Neo-Umbrella. Also shocked that the future of the numbered titles are looking to be decades past the events of this.. I wonder what the original cast are gonna look like at whatever age they'll be.. Definitely got me interested in the future of Resident Evil. Also, is this writing lifted from another article? I have heard a lot of this word for word from a separate place?
Yeah. BSAA got infiltrated by the Bioweapon Industry. We can look forward to nicer more clandestine labs now if they're mainstream again. Instead if cave labs and villages.
Theres a theory the future of RE isnt that 'future', Rose got accelerated aging based on the evidence on the game

@@CarTa3 if you remember in 7 (it’s been four years so I don’t blame you) the Bakers are constantly talking about “accepting her gift” when it comes to Eveline and the mold.
@@christiansava5280 Yes, exactly.
Yeah but thats probably because rose is an eveline, shes a bioweapon too
The only thing left is "mother's story" which is Mia's storyline which is going to filled up the gap of who the f* are the connections..
Hell yeah, Mia is a badass and it's like Capcom completely forgot about it. I'm hoping she's in RE Verse but I'm not holding my breath.
I originally thought it might be interesting to play re8 through Mia's perspective. But that would just be sitting in a cell lol
Keep in mind, in RE7 it is stated that Evelyn ages rapidly. In 3 years time she went from a little girl to an old woman, only portraying herself as a little girl in hallucinations. Now I don’t know if this applies here, but seeing Rose grown up made me think it’s only been a few months to a year since the events of Village.
The fact bodyguard jokingly consider rose as evelyn
No, eveline was engineered to do that with medicine administrated to stop the aging she stopped getting the med hince the failsafe for her to age to death was able to work..
Rose isnt engineered she was born with powers
Incase it hasn't been said: the person walking towards the camera in final scene is Ethan- literally. It's also the only time Ethan is seen with his head intact.
It could just be a resued asset but I doubt it, I bet it has more to do with the data stored in the mold.
Timestamp?
At the end ,when they drive from the grave sight, there is concept art that the person is Ethan.
witch consept art piece is that ?

I hope ethan somehow survived and is just waiting for the perfect moment to pop back up.
I mean yes, by Holywood logic, unless he´s seen dying, he survives, even if what supposedly killed him was a mini-nuke. I will still doubt that he´s alive though, he was literally crumbling to bits
If anyone's wondering the end credit scene someone used photo mode, went over to the figure and found that it was Ethan's character model
So Ethan probably isn't even fully dead?
Chadthan lives on
Wait, what?
Ethan is alive in the 2030s?
@@kodymcbride6901 We already know that the mold holds the consciousness of anyone connected to it so it stands to reason that Rose is able to communicate/feel Ethan with her after his death.
@@beansfebreeze maybe that's why she said " I know".
Modders has confirmed the man at the end is Ethan?
They moved the camera
One thing bugs me about that, and I don't know anything about modding. But why would Capcom do that knowing people could find out that way?
@@figarofugazi5462 Money. Sequel. Advertisement. We've all connected with Ethan on an emotional level now after this game, so it's pretty safe to assume Capcom'll use him as advertisement for the next game.
6:21 "Cadou" is actually Romanian for "Gift". Gives the whole parasite thing a new meaning, and it sure does not feel like a random name coincidence.
I hope we get to see more of Chris! Such an amazing character :)
Wait we think the rose scene was in the future but remember eveline Rapidly grew without medication maybe rose did too?
Rose is more stable than Eveline, and it had been confirmed that 17 years passed
@@blackvialyeah plus they’d probs keep her on medication and who confirmed it was 17?
I really hope they go this route. A normal aging rose would mean other main RE characters would be old by the time of the next game
@@benadams187 same, I just want more games in the style of 7 and 8 where we play as one of the OG characters
@@skinnymulligan5210 A survival horror entry with the OG characters would be hard (especially for Chris and Leon). It would have to be more action oriented. But it should be in the style of 4 and 5 and not 6
DLC that we need:
- Ada wong saving ethan before the blast
-Chris going RAMBO at BSAA HQ to later finding out that all became zombies...
The ada thing was gonna happen but they said it causes issues in the story so they didn't
Not gonna lie, I lowkey want a Resident evil in the future where leon or Chris is reviving Ethan or something.
Actually, Ethan is not dead, the one who walking in the after credit is Ethan Winters
@@BlackDeathGamer0311 really? didn't really pad attention at that part.
Well, now guess who is playing the game again. 😂
@@skuller2032 You need to use mod free moving cutscene so that can see Ethan Winters
@@BlackDeathGamer0311 ooooooh, ok
@@BlackDeathGamer0311 SOMEONE PLEASE UPLOAD A VIDEO ON THAT
Sherry’s healing factor means she basically can’t age. And Rosemarie has an unknown power. Pretty soon we might see these two girls in their own game.
the BIG question is: Why did they choose to keep Ethan’s face a secret? I thought they would finally do a face reveal before he killed himself but they didn’t smh
Becase ethan is a survivor from silent hill 4. The character is almost identical.
Yeah i was waiting for him to turn around and look at the camera or for it to zoom on his face but never did that annoyed me like he's going to fucking die anyways show us his face!
To allow players to easier identify themselves in the character they are playing. Nothing really special, just game design
@@simondinesen1341 great answer
Maybe they are saving it for RE9
Ethan dying was actually super sad. I would like it if he came back somehow but if the next game followed Rose that would be cool. Also I would assume the BSAA super soldier thing at the end is setting up a future dlc.
I think this is my favorite story but especially my favorite ending of any Resident Evil game.
Ethan winters is my favorite character in the series. I hope he comes back, resident evil 7&8 are master pieces. They were both such an awesome roller coaster of a game.
So we got Weskers son, Dr. Birkins daughter, and now Mr. Winters daughter! Who else sees the irony in all this!
And I bet Rose will be a protagonist in RE9
@@jenn5628 I am thinking the same.
@@jackscalibur I wouldn't mind it to be honest
Irony? There's absolutely no irony in any of what you said.
@@terran236 obviously you never played all the th Resident Evil games! The irony is that super powered engineered people will safe the day! Lol Read in between the lines! Something shouldn't have to be said! COMMON SENSE!!
Now Rose is going to be an OP ass kicking combo of Chris, Jill and Leon.
Don't forget jake muller/wesker and sherry birkin aka super girl, that's what jake called her.
@Yannick H. Yea, even chris's face is already old enough when the last time he saw ethan alive. Now rose became teenager. I think the original character must be sitting behind desk doing paper work and delegating jobs. But for young'un generations like i mentioned above, now is their time. Especially they have like some kind of super power. Maybe life longevity is one of them.
Resident Evil already has a character like that. Her name is Alice hahahaha
The million dollar question: Where does the RE Series go after Villiage??? Is RE9 going to be an in-between game, explaining what actions Chris took at the BSAA facility in Europe, or do we jump forward almost 2 decades, with RE9 focusing around Rose??
And how will they focus on rose anyway, I mean its implied that she has control over the mold so how is that even possible
I'd say why not both? Have flashbacks like RE5 had, but have Rose's story intertwined somehow? I mean she can control the mould and is possibly a hybrid between Mia being a normal human and Ethan being influenced the mould years before Rose was born.
Maybe RE9 will have Rose Winters along side Jake Wesker and Sherry Birkin who haven't been present since RE6.
Probably won't be the same story
Like remember re6 was completely different from 7 and slightly similar to 5
@@Mr.Scott86 probably won't
For the next few games
They might do things like remakes, spinoffs, or a 3rd revelations
I'm now really interested in a follow up or seeing Leon again. Wonder what he is doing.
I just want Ethan back
Wow, this is such an insightful video. Thanks for sharing the deep depth of explaining the storyarc. I was so confused how the hell Ethan can attach his hand back after getting severed by Lady D. It makes so much sense when Lady D mentioned Ethan's stale blood after she drank from his left palm.
I totally saw the connection between Mother Miranda and Eveline coming, although I thought Eveline would have turned out to have been Mother Miranda’s actual biological daughter somehow. RE7 was about a daughter recreating a mother she never had, RE8 was about a mother recreating a daughter she once lost
What I didn’t see coming was the retcon that Umbrella was created because Oswald Spencer knowing Mother Miranda. That’s a pretty bold move for a 25 year old franchise, yet it actually plays really well and didn’t come off as too lame or contrived
SPOILER SPOILER
The figure walking down the road where the figure and car meet, is actually Eathan Winters!
Do you have some kind of logical explanation has to how? Or a theory?
@@optimusN64 Your guess is as good as mine, all I can think of that while he was gone, he was being regenerated by the mold.
I think the BSAA knew Ethan was a mold person and used him as a prototype for the soldiers at the end because it's kinda weird to give him military training(we learn at the beginning when looking through books)
I assumed the figure next to the car at the end was Chris, but could easily be wrong.
I'm so into the whole BSAA bio-weapon storyline!
Hound wolf squad is badass I hope we see more of them and Chris in DLC or next game
So interested with the next stories, and also Rose character. She remind me of that girl that Claire adopted in RE Revelations 2 who also has some kind of power. Correct me if I'm wrong.
