Funniest thread I've come across no doubt.
Bottom line is that Andserson spends no more than 10 minutes on each screenplay.
This is the central reason why these movies are laughably bad.

Imagine a world where Christopher Nolan writes & directs these movies...
Bet he could have STILL incorporated Alice, yet stuck with the source material.

I've seen arguments that Anderson never even played the games and just watched the cinematic scenes online or just watched the intros and reworked them in his little scripts. There was that one part in Apocalypse with Alice shamelessly stealing Claire Redfield's action sequence which was in the intro of Code Veronica. Or that copy and paste fight from RE5 with the Redfields and Wesker in Afterlife.

The movieverse has already influenced the game universe with some of the over the top action during cutscenes and that laser trip that I hate so much in RE4 and UC. I have a bad feeling that Anderson's been trying to push for Capcom to have his hand in the game universe for years.

Oh god, I'm sure he has...
with all the "RE5 is in Africa because of Extinction" nonsense.

Lately I've been thinking about how much money the movies are making...
anyone think Cashcom would introduce Alice into the series? it could
attract movie fans to the games is all I'm saying. O_O

That just made me think of this:

Paul: Hmm, what else can we do that we haven't done yet with Alice.

Milla: *sips $7,000 imported cup of coffee non-chalant while stirring it with a crisp folded $100 bill* Well, I already blew people up with my mind, incerated dozens of crows by blinking, had dozens of clones of me, and beat up the Nemesis with my bare anorexic fists. I think the only logical next step is for me to fly around and shoot fucking lasers from my eyes.

Paul: Absolutely brilliant darling!

Milla: Now what can we do about the story. I don't think Alice is important enough in the movies. Claire got to fight the Executioner more than I did in the last movie. She was totally stealing my scene. That shoulda been me.

Paul: Well there is that bit in the first movie with Alice talking with Lisa and all in the past. Maybe we can expand on that and make Alice the founder of Umbrella and the origin of the T-virus from her own body which is how she bonded with it when no one else could. Then we'll have her finally remember her past and realize she was evil before and the source of pretty much everything in the world and she froze herself in a capsule for years after injecting herself with a finalized version of a new virus that would make her god of the world, I think one of the games did something like that no? The fans will love it. And the alice we've been seeing all along in these movies is actually a clone! And then alice will fight her evil self who has been unfrozen and has these amazing powers to fly around and shoot lasers from her fucking eyes and incinerate people just by waving her hands. It'll be Alice vs Alice in one huge climatic showdown of brilliant action packed laser spewing fun!

Milla: Don't we have to include some other stupid worthless characters from those lame ass games?

Paul: Well yes, but, we'll make sure to make them dreary and unimportant and give you all of their screen time just like the fans want.

Milla: Perfect. *takes another sip while shoving a $10,000 bill in her twat as a tampon*

Paul: *takes a dump in his $50,000 recliner slash gold plated toilet in his living room, then wipes his ass with a $1,000 bill* Alright then, I think the screenplay's done, we'll just wing in some action scenes to compliment our witty and dashing dialogue full of exclamations, explanations and orders and call it a day. Being a screen writer is hard work!

Milla: Oh poor baby, let me help you relax with a nice BJ. BTW, when's your contract with Sony and these RE movies up?

Paul: Another year or two, why love?

Milla: Oh no reason. So how much do I get if we ever....you know.... divorce? I mean just a hypothetical and all. Love you baby ;)

The movieverse is currently post-apocalyptic and the current situation in the game universe is the threat of worldwide biohazards which could eventually result in the setting the movie has become. It's bad enough that the game characters are relegated to side characters with the same names, it will get worse if Anderson finally gets Alice into the games. Now the games have ceased to become walking warily in the darkness, now we are just charging at big ugly monsters with machine guns. If Anderson finally does get his wondergirl into the games, that is when I shall abandon all hope and be done with this franchise.

To be fair, the movies are nothing more than guilty pleasures and I enjoy coming here and reading all the rants.

If Alice ever does make it into the games (and isn't infected and killed in a violent manner by a monster, re-animated and then destroyed easily by the player), I honestly will give up on the series. There was an Apocalypse flash game featuring her. And the only reason I enjoyed playing it was to run Alice into the zombie hordes and watch her die over and over and over. Had no interest in playing the game itself, just wanted to watch her die repeatedly and hear her scream.

I'd want Alice in the RE games. Because it would give all the primary Resident Evil characters a chance to over-shadow the hell out of her. Especially Leon. If however, she gets her own game, then I don't want her to be in this series. Wouldn't buy it.

I am sort of surprised they didn't make RE movie games considering how many movies nowadays are getting crappy video game counterparts. If Alice is EVER in the true RE games, I would only want her as DLC for Mercenaries. Something little like that. I don't want her to show up and save all the main characters by beating the hell out of some giant monster that was about to crush them all.

Complete and utter logic failure in abundance.

You want her to be in a game - just so she can be overshadowed?

As opposed to her not being in a game - and her not even needing to be overshadowed?

An exercise in futility really.

Yup.
