Resident Evil Canon Universe - Timeline

[Pro Bot]

They made a joke about Zootopia porn that lasted a few seconds. It's just a dumb thing that was referenced. Dumb, yeah, but not really a huge reason of why the show is bad.

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

A few seconds or not, it quite literally established that this show was definitely NOT it. I'm sorry, but I'm not changing my mind on the show.

The worst part? The show makes the Anderson movies look more faithful (yes, even with all their problems). Yes, seriously!

See, Resident Evil Village is canon to the show.

Regardless, the film coming out later this year I'm sure will be canonical.

I heard the show ends with a zombie apocalypse how could that gel with the game timeline? I'm not saying it isn't canon but I do find it odd

It is, indeed. Likely, the timeline branches after Village.

At that point I'd just say it's its own canon then. I think from the quotes it's equally possible they're just saying the canon universe's events all happened in the show universe but the show is not inversely canon to the game universe. I guess you could say it's like the TVA comics having the Loki show as canon but the MCU not having the TVA comic or the Comics Multiverse in general as part of it's canon (I disagree on the TVA thing and think it's all one big Multiverse but it's the only thing I could use as a comparison so I played devil's advocate there)

Well, its own canon still involves every single game except the latest one. Even taking what you're saying into account, that still means someone would have to play almost every Resident Evil game to get the full story of the Netflix series.

Yeah I'm in agreement with you there. But they're still 2 separate universes by the implication there. Which I think is fine. I think the show runners should be allowed to build off the existing canon and not have to adapt everything again, while simultaneously not being held back by any future entries.

Well, it's not like they got a chance to.

My argument is simply that, officially, that timeline is pretty much identical. Whether the new game acknowledges it or not doesn't matter.

 

[Pro Bot]

Even if the TV show isn't canon to the new game, officially, every single game is canon to the TV show up to Village officially speaking. In other words, someone playing the games would have to choose between the show and Resident Evil Requiem after completing Village. Those kinds of errors I would just take as minor ****-ups. (Wow, there's censorship on this site now?)

I did say this earlier.

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

It is, indeed. Likely, the timeline branches after Village.

Except that Wesker was always a black man in the Netflix show's timeline (even up to his original death), as opposed to being white in the games?

... and no, this isn't me disrespecting the late Lance Reddick, since his Wesker is one of the few good parts of the show, apparently.

That's very dumb, I'll admit. It's a visual inconsistency. I mean, the series technically does that with every remake. Live-action Resident Evil intro or pre-rendered cutscene? Hey, I'm not the idiot who made the show as a sequel to the games but then decided to cast a black man to play a canonically white person. Maybe Wesker just has a super secret race-changing power and can become the beloved Lance Reddick, rest in piece.

 

[Pro Bot]

Well, a file says that

Spoiler: Operation Javier

Operation Javier only had one survivor: Krauser and that him got abandoned by the USA government. Given that Darkside Chronicles ends with Krauser, Leon and Manuela leaving in a USA government helicopter I guess that the Darkside Chronicles are no longer canon

There's serveral lines of dialogue referencing Leon being there.

"You remember the fight in the jungle? We barely made it out alive."

The file is just a cover up.

 

[Pro Bot]

Since we see a second Mr. X/T-00 in Requiem, I'll just say that in the remake interpretation of events of the second game, Claire has her own Mr. X compared to Leon (I know they said there's only one but...). That, or his heart wasn't destroyed by Birkin and he regenerated. Oh, and Annette Birkin only passed out in Claire's story before making her way to Leon, doing his cutscene things, shooting Ada, then actually dying. They clearly rushed 2nd Run in the remakes compared to the more logical original, but... clearly the remakes take precedence now. The originals still count when it fits because they're both canon, but you know.

I hope if they remake the first game again, they let us get a fully canon ending with Chris, Jill, Rebecca and Barry escaping. All you have to do is put Barry in the cell with Jill or Rebecca with Chris. Literally easy. I played through both contradictory stories and have to combine them in my head, it's so lame.
