@@skywatcher_actual That’s just a placeholder. He was crystallizing after Miranda’s fight, which means he reached his Hayflick Limit, just like Jack Baker in the End of Zoe DLC, which represents the point where cell division stops due to the lack of DNA. If Ethan was alive, he would be in the Shadows of Rose DLC, which takes place 16 years after RE Village.
Thank you. Resident evil played the hell out of the over-the-shoulder 3rd person camera, and it was good while it lasted but then every game in existence started to do it too after Re4. Re6 was a hot mess, and then came Re7 saving the day. Re7 and Re8 are top 3 right after Re4, imo.

@@rowleyryan9025 Here's a comment I left in another video that summarizes my take on the Shadows of Rose DLC: Shadows of Rose has to be the worst DLC for a Resident Evil game by far. I already knew going into this DLC that it was going to drop the ball, but man, just on the gameplay, story, and character aspects, this is appalling. Absolutely appalling. And this was a paid DLC for crying out loud. What a ripoff. -They introduced no new areas at all for this DLC -The beginning of the DLC is just an interactive cutscene that gets aggravating when Rose can't run and everything is so scripted; -There's only one enemy type pretty much (the Face-eater) and they can't even intelligently place these enemies in environments that complement their AI systems, so you're just using exploits or mindlessly running past them most of the time. Not to mention the Face-Eaters are just reskins of the Moroaica's. So uninspired and lazy. -So many of the enemy placements feel throwaway -They reuse the same objectives from the main experience (Collecting masks in Castle Dimetrescu & going through flashing light moments and getting a fuse) -Nothing that happens in Beneviento's area has an underlying, thematic element that makes you connect with Rose. What do Dr. Who Mia dolls and those dolls of Rose's bullies have anything to do with Rose? The demented baby from the main experience that was chasing Ethan had a psychological significance as Ethan was trying to save his daughter and the idea of a parent fearing that their child would lose their innocence so soon was represented by the demented baby. In that sense, connecting with Ethan was possible. -The Dr. Who weeping dolls trope is uninspired and uninteresting for these dolls. -The Executioner boss fight is just a reskin of Urias that has no exciting gameplay elements or any imagination. -The Purifying Crystal feels so much like a MacGuffin that's just introduced out of nowhere with no setup. I don't even understand how using the Purifying Crystal in the Realm of Consciousness even affects Rose's body in the real world. My MacGuffin theory is only further confirmed by Rose destroying the Crystal at the end, so it's like Occam's Razor. They could've written this DLC without the Purifying Crystal. Plus, if the cure for the E-Type Mutamycete was introduced in RE7, why didn't Rose just use that to remove her abilities, assuming her abilities were at birth? The only thing I can think of is that the only thing Rose had at birth was just the genetics for maintaining a high affinity for the mutamycete, so she didn't have E-Type Mutamycete or mutamycete from the Megamycete coursing through her and instead, Miranda just infected her with the mutamycete from the Megamycete once she was abducted, which is why Rose crystallized originally in Village. -Why would Chris allow Rose to attend public school when organizations like the Connections or other terrorist organizations are likely looking for her?

Not to mention at times, she says cheesy quotes out of the blue and its stuff like that that makes the ending where Rose is talking with Ethan, feel incongruous emotionally. There were times where I literally said, "This can't be the daughter of Ethan Winters." -Miranda saying she can adjust the consciousness of individuals and rethread them doesn't make any sense because how would that even work? It's not like consciousness is measureable like with a blood or urine sample. Not to mention her plan to resurrect Eva is confusing because why would a vessel even matter in the Realm of Consciousness and it felt like at times, Miranda wanted to affect the real world and not the Realm of Consciousness, which is puzzling? -Despite Miranda saying that individuals who have been exposed to the mutamycete for their entire lives are the only ones who can retain their mental faculties within the Megamycete, Ethan was only exposed for three years and he's somehow in the Megamycete. And the lords were infected by the Cadou (a parasite infected with the mutamycete) for decades as Heisenberg said in Village, yet they're not in the Megamycete. -How did Miranda create that fake version of Canine to affect the real world Rose from within the Realm of Consciousness? How did Miranda even know about Canine? How did she even understand his genetic data to recreate him perfectly in the real world as a hallucination? And how did no one else in the real world notice Rose talking with a hallucination? -Eveline being in this DLC doesn't make any sense. How could she possibly be in the Megamycete when the E-Type Mutamycete and the normal Mutamycete are different types of Mutamycete? Not to mention, Eveline formed her own fungal network from the E-Type Mutamycete in America, yet somehow, she can connect to the Megamycete's network which is in Europe. Eveline was never absorbed into the Megamycete. In fact, in Resident Evil 7, when you kill Marguerite, she doesn't appear in the hive mind, so theoretically, if you die in the real world, your consciousness should not be present in the Realm of Consciousness, yet Eveline was different for whatever reason. There's also the part with her interfering with Miranda is some sort of way. Did she interfere with Miranda trying to turn Rose into Eva 16 years ago? Did she interfere with the process of making Rose clones? Why does Eveline never mention Miranda? I mean, Eveline is such a negligible plot element. You remove her, nothing changes in the DLC. The developers didn't even try to make Eveline have a lasting impact in the plot. We just suppress her, and she's gone, not even appearing in the final encounter. What a pointless element to the story. -If Miranda views Eveline as inferior, why would she call Rose Eveline's successor and then say that Rose is Eveline in the main experience. Miranda clearly views Rose as special, but to compare her to Eveline or even call Rose, Eveline, doesn't make any sense. -For some reason, at the end of the DLC, when Rose returns to the real world, she has the wedding ring Ethan had on her finger. She never had it on in the beginning of the DLC. What am I supposed to take from this? That it transferred from the Realm of Consciousness to here? How does that make any sense? You ask me, the developers forgot to include the wedding ring in the beginning cutscene, since these developers didn't have much common sense when designing most of Village and all of this DLC. Not to mention that other people have for some reason tried to use this transference process to say that Ethan is the mysterious figure in the distance at the end of the final cutscene and that the developer's made it like that to give Ethan a happy ending, which is such a dense comment. For one thing, Ethan is dead because he reached his Hayflick Limit (a concept established in the End of Zoe DLC) and he was crystallizing at the end of Resident Evil Village. He even tells Chris that him and Miranda finished each other off, so Ethan knew he was on his last legs. The Duke even says that Ethan's body is falling apart before Ethan goes to fight Miranda. So it makes no sense for him to be alive. Also, how can anyone think that being a mysterious figure in the distance is somehow a happy ending? Would you like it if your favorite character was in the distance unable to be recognized? Were those other people seriously thinking that mysterious figure was Ethan before PC mods and bugs in Photo Mode allowed people to see who that mysterious figure was? I've never heard of anything so ridiculous in all my life. Like I love Ethan Winters, but I'd much rather have him being alive make sense and not violate the lore established in RE7. And the last point on this is that it makes no sense having him be brought back to life because the developers literally said "The father's story is done" and they also said this would be the last time they would focus on the Winters' family, so even if Ethan's now amassed a greater following, the developers have no reason to bring him back. -Mia doesn't even appear in this DLC. Someone who is a crucial part to Ethan's character, doesn't appear at all. Most likely, the developers couldn't get Katie O'Hagan to do the role again, so they cut Mia out of this DLC. -We have a badly designed character in Rose; we have no appearance of Mia; and we have a character who for some reason, people think is alive in the end but is just a mysterious figure in the distance who has no chance of returning. Not to mention, him being absorbed into the Megamycete doesn't make sense, nor does he have enough exposure to the Mutamycete to even retain his mental faculties, yet he does. They screwed the Winters' family hard with this DLC. How insulting and offensive. They rushed this DLC to a fiery end because too many fans wanted them out of the way. And I get that the developers started this DLC directly after Resident Evil Village was finished, so they only had less than a year to develop this DLC, but I have played incredible games that were only developed for 10 months for instance. There is no excuse for this incompetence on the developer's part.
My favourite line is "A fucking POCKET KNIFE?!" He knows that knives won't do you shit in the Resident Evil world against Bio-Organic Weaponry like the moulded Baker family.
“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE” “WHY IS EVERYONE DYING ON ME?!” “WHY THE FUCK IS THIS HAPPENING AGAIN?!” “Who the fuck are you?” That transition made me die 😂😂
I love that as both games go on, Ethan progressively gets less scared of the Bakers, Molded, Lords and Lycans. He just starts getting angrier and practically spits on them every time they die.
My favorite line, "Eat Shit," RE7 has a lot of bangers but I audibly laughed to this one in RE8, as he and I had the same reaction to killing the super big hammer fuck.
Ethan got so much hate when he was introduced. I personally think he's one of the best protagonists in the RE series. From one concerned guy looking for his wife, to an absolute legend.
@@idi-jq6cj I like to think he isn't truly gone; didn't he intertwine his life force from the megamycite into Rose's Life force? So he can p much visit her (as a memory/vision) whenever now?
It’s not in here, but another bit that gets me is when Ethan goes to look at Rose’s baby carriage, promising to take her for a walk once the weather clears up (though of course that moment never comes 😔).
I know. The “colorful” banter from the older RE characters could get old fast, but somehow, Ethan’s quotes never get old. Ethan’s dialogue also helps him be relatable to the viewer, as I’m sure coming up with so called “colorful, witty” banter as people say, is tough for many.
Ethan often says things that I'm thinking and I'm going through my first playthrough and I'll often say out loud "dude I was just about to say that" 😂 I love it. Ethan is also effortlessly funny. I love Leon but with him it was a tad forced in RE4 and RE4R
I absolutely love how he's getting more frustrated and annoyed in 7. And then in 8 it's frustrated, annoyed, and confused. It's just so funny hearing him so done with those people shenanigans.
“Fuck You you crazy bitch!” Is by far my favorite line since it sounds like something that someone in that situation would say. For me It’s the contrast between Ethan’s lines and every other protagonist in this series, he doesn’t have some badass quip that he says to her, he has a realistic one
It’s what makes him relatable and is necessary in contrasting him from the other protagonists. And in a way, it makes him not feel as cartoony or anime-like in his dialogue. People don’t realize how hard it is to come up with a quip and when they try to do so, the quip can end up being awkward. Ethan Winters is awesome.
I feel like that line would be the most requested by Ethan fans to his VA lol. Sadly, todd soley is a very private person and will never do an interview or even a fan signing like Maggie and Nicole does
So happy to find another fan like you too. Ethan Winters, the biggest underdog of the Resident Evil series. A legend. Why else would he be my profile pic?
@@idi-jq6cj I haven't been able to find anyone who agrees until now, people always tend to say he's a boring character but he's soooo not. He's such a badass, his commentary is always great, and all the stuff he goes through just for his family is so respectable I can't understand how anyone doesn't like him. Honestly the best part of these games hahhaha. I love your pfp also
@@drownedfishba It’s funny how they call Ethan boring yet they don’t say the same thing for the old characters in their first games. I mean look at Jill and Chris, aside from some cringy dialogue, did they ever express any real personality in RE1 Remake?
@@idi-jq6cj Ethan is part of the Average Joe To Badass Group, featuring along Leon, Isaac Clarke and Venom Snake. Just your average joe having a rough day and turning into badass mfs!!
@@idi-jq6cj I think by far he is the most like realistic and human-like character, swearing and joking in bad situations. Edit:like the funniest shit is that while some superhuman or monster beings are talking about what to do with him, he is either sarcastically or had enough shit and really said "Bruh, Dont I have a say in this..." XD
1:16 "Okay, you little bitch, where the fuck are you?" is just the most funniest Ethan line to me. It always makes me laugh with every playthrough lmao That delivery really captures Ethans im-so-fed-up-with-this-shit attitude. 😂
I love this character, not because he has depth or anything (maybe he has in 8) but because he's just a normal guy who loves his wife and kid so much he'd fight monsters. Ethan gives off Big Good Boy energy.
7:02 is one of my favorites because of the context of Ethan as a character, his situation, and the shit he’s seen/been through. I can literally imagine an ordinary man who’s been through hell and back TWICE (this time to save his child) reacting like this, for the most part
Ethan went from systems engineer to badass savior in just two incredible installments of this franchise. He was so bound and determined to get his family back that he didn't care who or what he had to go through to ensure their safety.
Ethan is hands down one of the best resident evil characters ever, i might even go further and say i like him more than Leon, his voice actor is insanely good, hes funny, and most importantly, a badass father.
As someone who is also named Ethan, I find the Ethan Winters Resident Evil games extra horrifying for me. Especially since it's a first-person game, and it makes me feel I am actually suffering Ethan's pain. It's so creepy!
Immediately fell in love with the character, badass drove to Louisiana to find his missing wife. Just a Regular dude........ who ends up killing - Jack the unstoppable powerhouse - Margaret who is an insect woman who can create small insects who attack you - And Lucas who is basically a Discount Jigsaw And after all that. We get RE8 and the finalie to his story, he was a total badass from the start
What made him great is that the guy start it out as a normal family man that none of the main character were, suddenly throw into a conflict with next-level BOW threat that never deal before, and then out of nowhere, the guy has the most endurance out of any character in the series. The first time being chop, he was quickly able to use painkiller liquid and stretched the sliced part back to lower the pain, when supposedly one in his shoe would panic a lot without knowing what to do until he's dead because of blood loss. Not even the best protagonist Subaru in Re:Zero can do this, which said a lot.
That and for his first and second time fighting BOWs, the threats were way more severe and he’s dealt with not only Biological horror but Psychological horror as well.
I love ethan as a character. He's so normal but thats what makes him compelling and he put himself through hell for his family twice. Ultimate gigachad ethan
Practically unkillable due to the mold, cutting out the BS, trained really hard for a civilian becoming quite proficient in combat, he might not be the strongest but man he was fearless. Also... he needed no rocket launcher to finish the job. And of course just a hell of a dad not giving a F about anything but saving his family, what an absolute unit that knew that his nightmares could be beaten if these pissed him enough.
Except Chris’ encounters with the E-Type Mutamycete BOWs would’ve informed him that it takes more than 5 shots to the head to deal with them. Furthermore, he should’ve been aware that permanent death of individuals infected with the Mutamycete results in biocrystallization.
I find it funny that he started off with finding his Wife Mia, then being pulled into the RE Universe, now he's up there with Leon, Chris, Jill and what not.
@klemsoda in 7, i feel he was characterized as a man of few words who progressively got more angry and frustrated at what was going on in the baker estate, it was done near perfectly. he didn't speak that much, but still spoke enough to be my favorite character from 7, tied with zoe and jack.
i love ethan cause he was. some guy. mia was the one involved in all the crazy science bullshit he just wanted to find her but it cost him his life :(((
idk if im the only one who thinks ethan and leon has some very similar attributes or maybe im just tweaking i love them both, theyre my fav re characters
He saw more crazy, deadly things his first and second time fighting BOWs, and even survived the brink of death from Eveline in RE7, than the older Resident Evil characters their first and second times fighting BOWs.
3:03 GODDAMMIT HE DIDN'T DESERVE THE SHIT THAT HAPPENED TO HIM. HE'S SUCH A GOOD FATHER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I love Ethan we may see more of him because he's part of the the mold and they collected samples of it so we may see more of him cuz if you play the the part where you play as Rosemary Winters we actually get to see her connect to the mold where we get to meet Ethan again so hopefully we might see more of him.
"heck of a girl" "poor deputy" "that's special" "kiss my y'know" "ok you little ..... Where are you?" "Play times over" "I told you I keep my promises" "Chris what the heck" "no where's rose" "who's mother maranda" "uh no I'm Ethan" "why is everyone dying on me" "why the .... Is this happening again!?" "hey don't I get a say in this?" "bunch of crazy witches" "man screw this castle!" "Mia I'll make things right" "caught myself a big one" "I don't give a dang about your personal issues" "ill take my chances" "dang it Again?!" ".... You you crazy ....." "I have to save my daughter" "who what are you?" "MIRANDA!" "yea right all it's done is drive you nuts" "like .... I will!" "rose" "I think we finished each other" "Mia? I'm so sorry I love you keep rose safe" "watch over her teach her to be strong" "goodbye rosemary" I love all his lines but those are the best ones I think
It’s great to find other Ethan Winters fans. He’s my favorite character in all of Resident Evil. You ask me, after going through RE7 and RE Village, he’s put himself right above the other character’s through the two times he’s fought BOWs.
@@idi-jq6cj yea I love Ethan he's just amazing and I wanted to get them all so I looked for maybe 20ish minutes for it and Ethan is completely different from everyone else and he actually tried to do everything I guess you put it? Everyone did everything they could but Ethan is different in that situation
@@idi-jq6cj re7 is the first re I played I like the other ones but there third person and they don't really have a good story and there all cops and stuff unlike ethan he came to save his wife and yea...
@@idi-jq6cj and the fact that he's stronger then anyone else and he's just normal besides the mold also why does re hate his hands like they got cut off like at least 4 times or 5
I personally love the one where he's like "Hey! You gotta give me your gun!" To the officer that's just doing his job, like what did he think was going to happen?

The developers didn't even try to make Eveline have a lasting impact in the plot. We just suppress her, and she's gone, not even appearing in the final encounter. What a pointless element to the story.
-If Miranda views Eveline as inferior, why would she call Rose Eveline's successor and then say that Rose is Eveline in the main experience. Miranda clearly views Rose as special, but to compare her to Eveline or even call Rose, Eveline, doesn't make any sense.
-For some reason, at the end of the DLC, when Rose returns to the real world, she has the wedding ring Ethan had on her finger. She never had it on in the beginning of the DLC. What am I supposed to take from this? That it transferred from the Realm of Consciousness to here? How does that make any sense? You ask me, the developers forgot to include the wedding ring in the beginning cutscene, since these developers didn't have much common sense when designing most of Village and all of this DLC. Not to mention that other people have for some reason tried to use this transference process to say that Ethan is the mysterious figure in the distance at the end of the final cutscene and that the developer's made it like that to give Ethan a happy ending, which is such a dense comment. For one thing, Ethan is dead because he reached his Hayflick Limit (a concept established in the End of Zoe DLC) and he was crystallizing at the end of Resident Evil Village. He even tells Chris that him and Miranda finished each other off, so Ethan knew he was on his last legs. The Duke even says that Ethan's body is falling apart before Ethan goes to fight Miranda. So it makes no sense for him to be alive. Also, how can anyone think that being a mysterious figure in the distance is somehow a happy ending? Would you like it if your favorite character was in the distance unable to be recognized? Were those other people seriously thinking that mysterious figure was Ethan before PC mods and bugs in Photo Mode allowed people to see who that mysterious figure was? I've never heard of anything so ridiculous in all my life. Like I love Ethan Winters, but I'd much rather have him being alive make sense and not violate the lore established in RE7. And the last point on this is that it makes no sense having him be brought back to life because the developers literally said "The father's story is done" and they also said this would be the last time they would focus on the Winters' family, so even if Ethan's now amassed a greater following, the developers have no reason to bring him back.
-Mia doesn't even appear in this DLC. Someone who is a crucial part to Ethan's character, doesn't appear at all. Most likely, the developers couldn't get Katie O'Hagan to do the role again, so they cut Mia out of this DLC.
-We have a badly designed character in Rose; we have no appearance of Mia; and we have a character who for some reason, people think is alive in the end but is just a mysterious figure in the distance who has no chance of returning. Not to mention, him being absorbed into the Megamycete doesn't make sense, nor does he have enough exposure to the Mutamycete to even retain his mental faculties, yet he does. They screwed the Winters' family hard with this DLC. How insulting and offensive. They rushed this DLC to a fiery end because too many fans wanted them out of the way. And I get that the developers started this DLC directly after Resident Evil Village was finished, so they only had less than a year to develop this DLC, but I have played incredible games that were only developed for 10 months for instance. There is no excuse for this incompetence on the developer's part.
he died twice, came back, and died again. god. damn. legend.
Hell Yeah. Give Glory to the Legendary Ethan Winters.
@@idi-jq6cj wondering if he’s the most powerful RE protagonist, I’ve not seen the others die twice and come back both times
And the both times he died it was trying to help/protect his family. Legendary man
And then he came back again, saves his daughter, and died again
@@straffanvonarfan6549 he’s like the jason vorheese of re but he isn’t a serial killer
My favourite line is "A fucking POCKET KNIFE?!"
He knows that knives won't do you shit in the Resident Evil world against Bio-Organic Weaponry like the moulded Baker family.
Oh yes, my favorite Ethan Winters quote:
"FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK JESUS FUCK"
- Ethan Winters
“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE”
“WHY IS EVERYONE DYING ON ME?!”
“WHY THE FUCK IS THIS HAPPENING AGAIN?!”
“Who the fuck are you?”
That transition made me die 😂😂
Timestamp pls
4:31
I love that as both games go on, Ethan progressively gets less scared of the Bakers, Molded, Lords and Lycans. He just starts getting angrier and practically spits on them every time they die.
My favorite line, "Eat Shit,"
RE7 has a lot of bangers but I audibly laughed to this one in RE8, as he and I had the same reaction to killing the super big hammer fuck.
Ethan the greatest hero of the series. Such a solid voice
100% agree
Too bad his Voice actor won't do any interviews, all the other Voice actors did.
@@consolefortnite8761 Todd Soley’s a private person I believe.
In knew Ethan would be my favorite character the second I heard his voice
ethan is unironically my favourite resident evil protagonist, genuinely sad he’s gone
I feel the same. 😢
Died too soon
Same with man Clancy Jarvis
Ethan somehow went from normal every day guy just looking for his wife, to an unrepentant badass in just the span of two games
The elevation in craziness was more extreme than between RE1 and RE6
“This is getting old Jack” was always memorable for me. Maybe because I was feeling the same frustration 💀
Almost as good as "You want STARS, I'll give you STARS"
@@danielgeronimo5538almost as good as "This is getting old, Jack."
Ethan got so much hate when he was introduced. I personally think he's one of the best protagonists in the RE series.
From one concerned guy looking for his wife, to an absolute legend.
May the Legend Rest in Peace. He deserves it for being amazing.
@@idi-jq6cj I like to think he isn't truly gone; didn't he intertwine his life force from the megamycite into Rose's Life force? So he can p much visit her (as a memory/vision) whenever now?
“a fucking pocket knife?” is engraved in my brain forever. it’s so funny to me
there’s just something so wholesome with ethan playing with rose 🥺
Agreed
When I hear a new line related to Rose my heart melts. "We'll have a drink together when you're all Grown up" AHHH!
It’s not in here, but another bit that gets me is when Ethan goes to look at Rose’s baby carriage, promising to take her for a walk once the weather clears up (though of course that moment never comes 😔).
he does the bare minimum but he does it amazingly, hes just that good
I love Ethan’s dialogue because it is so realistic
I know. The “colorful” banter from the older RE characters could get old fast, but somehow, Ethan’s quotes never get old. Ethan’s dialogue also helps him be relatable to the viewer, as I’m sure coming up with so called “colorful, witty” banter as people say, is tough for many.
Ethan often says things that I'm thinking and I'm going through my first playthrough and I'll often say out loud "dude I was just about to say that" 😂 I love it. Ethan is also effortlessly funny. I love Leon but with him it was a tad forced in RE4 and RE4R
he's right up there with kyle crane for me; always saying the most sensible shit a dude could say in outlandishly bad situations LOL
I absolutely love how he's getting more frustrated and annoyed in 7. And then in 8 it's frustrated, annoyed, and confused. It's just so funny hearing him so done with those people shenanigans.
"Ok, fine." Is such a badass underrated quote
I like it so much; I find myself saying it in passing.
When Ethan said "What the hell is this, an evil residence?" The world became a better place.
''We love you Ethan Winters!" we all say in unison
We love you Ethan Winters!
@@nikobellic8002 shush niko, go bowling
3:05 I'm convinced that that laugh is genuine when he read that line
it honestly sounds genuine, great voice acting if it isn’t
“Fuck You you crazy bitch!” Is by far my favorite line since it sounds like something that someone in that situation would say. For me It’s the contrast between Ethan’s lines and every other protagonist in this series, he doesn’t have some badass quip that he says to her, he has a realistic one
It’s what makes him relatable and is necessary in contrasting him from the other protagonists. And in a way, it makes him not feel as cartoony or anime-like in his dialogue. People don’t realize how hard it is to come up with a quip and when they try to do so, the quip can end up being awkward. Ethan Winters is awesome.
I feel like that line would be the most requested by Ethan fans to his VA lol. Sadly, todd soley is a very private person and will never do an interview or even a fan signing like Maggie and Nicole does
@@valkyriearih4268 that somehow seems fitting for the “faceless” hero of 7 and 8
ETHAN IS SO UNDERATTED I LOVE HIM SO MHCH IM SO HAPPY I FOUND FELLOW ETHAN WINTERS STANSSS
So happy to find another fan like you too. Ethan Winters, the biggest underdog of the Resident Evil series. A legend. Why else would he be my profile pic?
@@idi-jq6cj I haven't been able to find anyone who agrees until now, people always tend to say he's a boring character but he's soooo not. He's such a badass, his commentary is always great, and all the stuff he goes through just for his family is so respectable I can't understand how anyone doesn't like him. Honestly the best part of these games hahhaha. I love your pfp also
@@drownedfishba It’s funny how they call Ethan boring yet they don’t say the same thing for the old characters in their first games. I mean look at Jill and Chris, aside from some cringy dialogue, did they ever express any real personality in RE1 Remake?
@@idi-jq6cj Ethan is part of the Average Joe To Badass Group, featuring along Leon, Isaac Clarke and Venom Snake. Just your average joe having a rough day and turning into badass mfs!!
@@idi-jq6cj I think by far he is the most like realistic and human-like character, swearing and joking in bad situations.
Edit:like the funniest shit is that while some superhuman or monster beings are talking about what to do with him, he is either sarcastically or had enough shit and really said "Bruh, Dont I have a say in this..." XD
" just like me, you'll always come back."
-William Afton to Ethan probably
1:16 "Okay, you little bitch, where the fuck are you?" is just the most funniest Ethan line to me. It always makes me laugh with every playthrough lmao
That delivery really captures Ethans im-so-fed-up-with-this-shit attitude. 😂
Lmao I just finished the game and that shit made me spit my coffee out
5:59 it's funny that he able to make a dad joke out of this situation
That's when you know you're a father
The dad patch came in
I love this character, not because he has depth or anything (maybe he has in 8)
but because he's just a normal guy who loves his wife and kid so much he'd fight monsters. Ethan gives off Big Good Boy energy.
7:02 is one of my favorites because of the context of Ethan as a character, his situation, and the shit he’s seen/been through. I can literally imagine an ordinary man who’s been through hell and back TWICE (this time to save his child) reacting like this, for the most part
THE CUT ON THE YOUR FUNERAL PART I CANT 6:46
Ethan went from systems engineer to badass savior in just two incredible installments of this franchise. He was so bound and determined to get his family back that he didn't care who or what he had to go through to ensure their safety.
Ethan is hands down one of the best resident evil characters ever, i might even go further and say i like him more than Leon, his voice actor is insanely good, hes funny, and most importantly, a badass father.
He’s definitely better than RE4 Remake Leon, that’s for sure. Thanks for the comment.
@@idi-jq6cj You know its a good character when he takes stuff seriously but still manages to make it funny
Don't compare Ethan to that rice hunting harlot of a pretty boy.
6:15 best quote in entire series
Only Ethan Winters can make “Eat Shit” sound badass
@@idi-jq6cj so true man
The "kiss my ass" caught me off guard LMAO
Ethan is relatable if anything, he fucking tells the villains off for being assholes.
4:26
“You’re not from this village”
“No I’m Ethan”
Lmao yeah there is no Ethan from that village, I bet they knew exactly who he was after that 😂
I think you misinterpret this. He was just introducing himself after confirming he wasn’t a part of the village
You just made me think:
“Oh, you Ethan from Resident Evil 7?”
😂
As someone who is also named Ethan, I find the Ethan Winters Resident Evil games extra horrifying for me. Especially since it's a first-person game, and it makes me feel I am actually suffering Ethan's pain. It's so creepy!
Definitely my favorite character in the whole series.
Agreed
3:05 shows how much nice ethan can be
Bro sounds so nice and then says something like this 1:16
Very few characters have ever saved a video game and Ethan winters is not just the poster boy but the damn president
2:23 Ethan is such a gentleman☺️
He such a goat on every game. I really want more of him.
“A fuckin pocket knife” this man
Ethan is what would happen if a Silent Hill protagonist got thrown into a Resident Evil game and its a blast to watch
I think 0:02 is his moment Ethan’s character starts to shift. He goes straight from “oh no” to “I’ll do what I have to”
Immediately fell in love with the character, badass drove to Louisiana to find his missing wife. Just a Regular dude........ who ends up killing
- Jack the unstoppable powerhouse
- Margaret who is an insect woman who can create small insects who attack you
- And Lucas who is basically a Discount Jigsaw
And after all that. We get RE8 and the finalie to his story, he was a total badass from the start
He went through so much in just 2 Resident Evil games. It’s crazy.
What made him great is that the guy start it out as a normal family man that none of the main character were, suddenly throw into a conflict with next-level BOW threat that never deal before, and then out of nowhere, the guy has the most endurance out of any character in the series. The first time being chop, he was quickly able to use painkiller liquid and stretched the sliced part back to lower the pain, when supposedly one in his shoe would panic a lot without knowing what to do until he's dead because of blood loss. Not even the best protagonist Subaru in Re:Zero can do this, which said a lot.
That and for his first and second time fighting BOWs, the threats were way more severe and he’s dealt with not only Biological horror but Psychological horror as well.
7:35 My favorite one
I love ethan as a character. He's so normal but thats what makes him compelling and he put himself through hell for his family twice.
Ultimate gigachad ethan
I come to this video from time to time to listen to the man with some of the best one-liners
The legendary Ethan Winters definitely delivers.
I love how normal his reactions are. He’s how anyone would react 😭
“That’s special”
Ethan was savage in re7 its like he doesn't give a fk to anything.
Ethan Winters, best dad of all times.
He gets more confident with time
Practically unkillable due to the mold, cutting out the BS, trained really hard for a civilian becoming quite proficient in combat, he might not be the strongest but man he was fearless. Also... he needed no rocket launcher to finish the job. And of course just a hell of a dad not giving a F about anything but saving his family, what an absolute unit that knew that his nightmares could be beaten if these pissed him enough.
Ethan is like Arnold Schwarzenegger. His one liners never fails to make me laugh even if it sounds cool.
“Do I get a say in this?”
Miranda and the four lords: *No*
People saying Ethan was boring in RE7 when he had one liners for days.
3:03 stop this is so cute
I love his lines when he gets fed up
3:30
"Ethan, I have been through a lot of situations where things don't just stay dead from a single bullet. Gotta be absolutely sure"
Except Chris’ encounters with the E-Type Mutamycete BOWs would’ve informed him that it takes more than 5 shots to the head to deal with them. Furthermore, he should’ve been aware that permanent death of individuals infected with the Mutamycete results in biocrystallization.
“This is getting old, jack.”
*yes indeed*
I find it funny that he started off with finding his Wife Mia, then being pulled into the RE Universe, now he's up there with Leon, Chris, Jill and what not.
4:25 “ uhh no I’m Ethan” he speaking facts
5:03 Most epic quote 👌👌👌
Telling a police officer "give me your gun" is wild lol
I mean, we’d all say the same thing if we were in a house full of serial killers.
2:46 hurts
“Dammit again” I felt that
ethan just went through one hell of a custody battle
"Caught myself a big one." Ethan Winters after pulling out the sunken boat
No matter what opponent he face he doesn't give a shit
Specially in re7
@klemsoda
in 7, i feel he was characterized as a man of few words who progressively got more angry and frustrated at what was going on in the baker estate, it was done near perfectly. he didn't speak that much, but still spoke enough to be my favorite character from 7, tied with zoe and jack.
Ethan is definitely one of the best dads in video game history 💙
7:19 I love how Chris just smirks when Ethan says that line.
9:16 Can anyone here appreciate how beautiful and amazing this moment is from the quote from mother Miranda
To how Ethan finally saves her daughter?
0:57 my favourite, LET ME TALK TO MIA!!! even lucas smeared his pants.
Also, i made some ethan winters videos. You are welcome to watch it.
ethan winters the king 👑
i love ethan cause he was. some guy. mia was the one involved in all the crazy science bullshit he just wanted to find her but it cost him his life :(((
idk if im the only one who thinks ethan and leon has some very similar attributes or maybe im just tweaking i love them both, theyre my fav re characters
You’re not the only one.
ethan is such a funny and calm dad
His raspy, frustrated (protective?) yet low-key “fucking done” voice sounds so sexy actually-
To say Ethan has seen some shit would be an understatement
He saw more crazy, deadly things his first and second time fighting BOWs, and even survived the brink of death from Eveline in RE7, than the older Resident Evil characters their first and second times fighting BOWs.
My favorite RE character along with leon and Claire
Ethan in RE7: **WHAT?! WHERE?! HELP!**
Ethan in RE8: **Too tired for this shit, get out of the way.**
ethan is lowkey so goated, definitely one of my favorite RE characters
The Goodbye Rosemary made me Cry 🥲🥲
Same 😢😢
The Evil Residents taking over not just a louisiana house, but also and ENTIRE f#cking village is insane. What a twist.
3:03 GODDAMMIT HE DIDN'T DESERVE THE SHIT THAT HAPPENED TO HIM. HE'S SUCH A GOOD FATHER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
He’s the best.
I love Ethan we may see more of him because he's part of the the mold and they collected samples of it so we may see more of him cuz if you play the the part where you play as Rosemary Winters we actually get to see her connect to the mold where we get to meet Ethan again so hopefully we might see more of him.
I love ethan winters
dude Ethan pulled on my heart strings in village, I thought he was super cool in 7 but Village... was a godamn wow
I love him sm
"heck of a girl" "poor deputy" "that's special" "kiss my y'know" "ok you little ..... Where are you?" "Play times over" "I told you I keep my promises" "Chris what the heck" "no where's rose" "who's mother maranda" "uh no I'm Ethan" "why is everyone dying on me" "why the .... Is this happening again!?" "hey don't I get a say in this?" "bunch of crazy witches" "man screw this castle!" "Mia I'll make things right" "caught myself a big one" "I don't give a dang about your personal issues" "ill take my chances" "dang it Again?!" ".... You you crazy ....." "I have to save my daughter" "who what are you?" "MIRANDA!" "yea right all it's done is drive you nuts" "like .... I will!" "rose" "I think we finished each other" "Mia? I'm so sorry I love you keep rose safe" "watch over her teach her to be strong" "goodbye rosemary" I love all his lines but those are the best ones I think
It’s great to find other Ethan Winters fans. He’s my favorite character in all of Resident Evil. You ask me, after going through RE7 and RE Village, he’s put himself right above the other character’s through the two times he’s fought BOWs.
Also, I see your profile picture is Ethan, Mia, and Rose. That’s cool. Never seen that before.
@@idi-jq6cj yea I love Ethan he's just amazing and I wanted to get them all so I looked for maybe 20ish minutes for it and Ethan is completely different from everyone else and he actually tried to do everything I guess you put it? Everyone did everything they could but Ethan is different in that situation
@@idi-jq6cj re7 is the first re I played I like the other ones but there third person and they don't really have a good story and there all cops and stuff unlike ethan he came to save his wife and yea...
@@idi-jq6cj and the fact that he's stronger then anyone else and he's just normal besides the mold also why does re hate his hands like they got cut off like at least 4 times or 5
ethan best resident evil character
Ethan was better than any other character throughout the franchise. Best protagonist
i havent even played 7 or 8 but bro. this got me emotional
I personally love the one where he's like "Hey! You gotta give me your gun!" To the officer that's just doing his job, like what did he think was going to happen?
