I always thought Carla referred to Wesker as an imbecile due to his arrogance. I mean his incompetence stemmed from his arrogance constantly underestimating his opponents. Now that I've said that, the original Wesker vs Alexia scuffle in Dreamcast Code Veronica works better though I still do like X's version.

Wesker always made me pay close attention to the series. It's a pity we never really got to find out more about the HCF. This is something that I feel got squandered due to Capcom constantly drifting off course.
I always felt as if Wesker would just have betrayed them anyway, much like STARS and Umbrella from before. But as with a lot of plot aspects in RE, they make up something that only gets mentioned in maybe one game or a separate piece of media, which only hardcore fans may read up about, then it's seemingly ignored forever in the canon. As in RE5, Wesker seems to be once again, working for somebody else or himself. It's not clear.
He did recruit people to be his henchmen or women...

This may be pure coincidence, but at the time when Devil May Cry was a Bio Hazard game, it was a story about Spencer's son named Tony, who went to his father's castle and eventually killed Oswell, after which he took his place as the head of Umbrella.
It really looks like Capcom was inspired by this idea along with the ancient civilization where the Progenitor Virus was discovered. Only Wesker took Tony's place.
And it makes a lot of sense, you know.
For example, Spencer wasn't in Iwao's script, but Wesker already had a forced evolution plan. This plan was written to Spencer later too, so ultimately linking them as father and son figures, where one passes the baton, was pretty clever. Otherwise it would just be a coincidence that both characters have a similar idea.
Needless to say, Wesker was kind of obsessed with Spencer. He was trying to investigate the old man's true intention, and BIO5 explained this by establishing that Albert, as one of the project's children, had a programmed interest in Oswell. It's clever too.
So I think it makes sense that Wesker became the dark inheritor, as The Umbrella Chronicles called him.
If we think about it, every alleged death of Albert is associated with a change in his status quo.
At first, he was the captain of the squad and revealed himself to be a traitor. He was killed by a Tyrant.
He returned as a member of the HCF's owner with his agenda and remained so until 2006, when he changed his mind about Homo sapiens. He allegedly died after falling from a window with Jill.
Having changed his mind about Homo sapiens, he used Jill's antibodies to make the Uroboros Virus less deadly. He lost the battle with Chris and Sheva.
Now Umbrella's leader, who claims to be Wesker, is giving Homo sapiens a chance to become part of his new order.
It's pretty consistent, imo.
I don't know if he was intended to be the main villain. I suppose he was for a while, but at least the games made sense and had a connection. You could tell they were sequels. Even if they involved different characters, it was largely about stopping Umbrella, being someplace you didn't want to be, etc.
Now since I would say, 4 or 5, the games have felt like different games, with the legacy characters included as a bit of a selling point. Like it started to feel like a different IP to the one before. Evidenced by the evolution of how they look, play, etc.
I think I will always prefer the pre-2005 games for their story, gameplay, atmosphere and so on. Since the arrival of RE4, everything hasn't made much sense. It is like they are all different games that just happen to have returning characters, or there would be little continuity. But besides that, I feel like a lot of it has been made up.
I did like the idea of the four areas in RE8 representing the Umbrella logo. That was a neat thing to find out about.

I hope they stop making the games so dark. The lighting is lame. They don't have to blanket everything in an eclipse.
I know they're trying to make them scary, but I am more fond of Bethesda's two The Evil Within games as it's overall a much better experience. Zombies or demons, don't have to be bullet absorbing sponges.
I also think the story is better than RE7 and RE8. Because RE8 is trying to be like the world of Silent Hill, with that dumb mannequins idea in their Shadows of Rose DLC. And the plot in general is just not my thing.
In other news, the unofficial CV remake has been effectively terminated by Capcom themselves. But that's not surprising.

That group has talent.

Capcom Reportedly Shuts Down Resident Evil Code Veronica Fan Remake
Capcom reportedly orders the shut down of the Resident Evil Code: Veronica fan remake that was in development.
That group has talent.
Yes, unfortunately. I think the RE Engine is here to stay. It's their main engine now for gaming, and I think it's making the games look too dark. I really don't like that ugliness.
I do agree with this YouTuber on RE4. It was the game that changed the series. CV will probably only be remade, when Capcom needs something else as a cash grab. Not because they're interested in the game passionately, as such.
After that, I don't know what else they'll be able to remake, besides maybe Outbreak, because I don't think they're going to remake games like RE0 or remake the GameCube remake.

I mentioned this during NightCrawler's tier list stream on Christmas Day, but I think the modern day Capcom is either lazy or doesn't know how to code properly. The amount of fast moving enemies they removed may prove that.
It's obviously complicated to mimic the moves and stuff of spiders and birds. So don't expect anything amazing.

Yeah. Only a fool would think CV isn't GOAT. I appreciate the game and wish it was looked upon in a more positive light, like we give it.
I sometimes think us on Biohaze, are the last genuine fans online. Because everybody else online at other forums really never seems to care about cut content, or even your opinions when you cast up about why the games have ended up where they are today. In their eyes, it just shines. It's something new. That's all they seem to be bothered about.
Well, I have no faith in Capcom to recreate it splendidly, considering the other remakes had so much of their original material removed, barely any atmospheric music was to be heard, and there is nothing that stands out. And CV, you know? It has memorable music.
Sure. They're bound to keep the general premise the same, as they kind of have to. But I do expect a lot will be left out.
Also, they may as well remake RE1 too. The original 2002 remake just doesn't match the feel of the modern RE Engine games whatsoever.

I feel like RE4 gets too much praise, when it's hardly worthy of being called a horror game. I do like it, but I feel it's vastly overrated.
The idea that you buy guns from a vendor is just pretty lame for a survival horror title. It's nonsense. Then there's villagers who drop ammo, yet they don't hold guns. Unless you count the ones you find, but the villagers prefer using farm tools.
If they had concluded the earlier storylines instead of doing it in that Wii shooter, I perhaps would have felt less unhappy. But yeah. The damage has been done.

Anybody untrustworthy would just shoot the merchant without paying him and loot up. So it's barely offering up any logical realism as to why a merchant would be selling things to people he does not know anything about. But okay. The vendor is an amusing sidetrack. That's a plus.
