Fans of Resident Evil<\/em> have weathered decades of film adaptations that always\u00a0omitted key beloved aspects\u00a0of the survival horror video game series. The prevalent criticism voiced among gamers is that\u00a0Constantin Film’s\u00a0Resident Evil<\/em>\u00a0series, helmed by Paul W.S. Anderson, did not handle the source material properly, resulting in a string of action-packed zombie science fiction monster films that\u00a0appeared to be\u00a0Resident Evil<\/em> in name only.<\/p>\n

With Constantin Film set to produce the upcoming Netflix series simply titled Resident Evil\u00a0<\/em>(not to be confused with Netflix’s upcoming CG animated series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness<\/em><\/a> or the live-action film reboot\u00a0directed by Johannes Roberts also titled Resident Evil<\/em>\u00a0), there’s a sense of reservation among gamers\u00a0regarding whether or not they should get their hopes up. There\u00a0are a few things fans would appreciate included in this series and, perhaps more importantly, some things everyone would like left out completely.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Cut The Slo-Mo<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Resident Evil<\/em> movies have long overly depended on slow-motion action scenes to really punctuate the\u00a0indulgent visual effects. Constantin Film seems to insist on more and more action in every film and, if the new series is a natural evolution from its predecessors, chances are high we will see somebody get karate kicked at 25% speed<\/a> somewhere in the series. If Resident Evil\u00a0<\/em>were true to its roots, though,\u00a0audiences would be more likely to see someone torn apart by zombies than engage in fisticuffs.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Keep It Canon<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While Resident Evil\u00a0<\/em>has had a pretty wonky story<\/a> from the get-go filled with strange narrative decisions and\u00a0improbabilities by the boatload, fans deserve a little effort from the production team to deliver a solid Resident Evil<\/em> adaptation that stays true to its own conventions. If this series is a continuation from the films released over the past two decades, it would serve the franchise well to treat its predecessors\u00a0as canonically sound, no matter how silly they’ve become.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Focus On The Characters<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Milla Jovovich has more than adequately served as the face of the Resident Evil\u00a0<\/em>film franchise<\/a> but Alice,\u00a0the\u00a0heroine she’s played in six films, is a bit of a flatline in terms of characterization.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0How Resident Evil 3 Remake Changed Jill Valentine<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

At the start of the first film she wakes up from an amnesiac episode and it seems she never fully figures out who she is other than a\u00a0post-apocalyptic kung-fu\u00a0super\u00a0killer which, while visually stimulating, doesn’t do much for the drama department.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Less Dependence On CG<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Bad computer graphics are infinitely less desirable than bad practical effects. Think of\u00a0Ed Wood’s famous UFO dangling from a fishing line in Plan 9 From Outer Space<\/em>, it’s beloved for its simplicity and inspired future filmmakers\u00a0because B-movies can be made without an over dependence on post-production effects. Constantin Film’s\u00a0Resident Evil<\/em> has a mixed bag of awkward CG and clunky prosthetics, but the licker creature effects from the first film\u00a0are\u00a0just unforgivable and fans demand better from Resident Evil<\/em> these days.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Tone Down The Soundtrack<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Starting with the first film\u00a0adaptation\u00a0of Resident Evil\u00a0<\/em>in 2002, the films soundtracks always favored hard rock, techno and industrial music to accentuate the action scenes. While the music itself was critically acclaimed, coming from such popular acts like Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Depeche Mode and The Crystal Method among others, it did a disservice to the minimalistic soundtracks from the games that focused more on atmospheric ambiance than adrenaline-pumping rockers.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Hold The\u00a0Cheese, Please<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There’s a fine line between schlock and\u00a0art and, unfortunately, much of the Resident Evil<\/em> film series is in the former category. True, the video games are not narrative masterpieces, but they didn’t include too<\/em> much eye-rolling idiocy. For example, Carlos Oliveira smokes\u00a0a joint before his ultimate demise in the film\u00a0Resident Evil: Extinction,<\/em> but some fans might get a chuckle out of a Resident Evil character\u00a0smoking\u00a0green herb, a common healing item. Is that how the game characters ingested it all along? This is forgivable in small doses, but there will hopefully be only a minimal amount of similar cheese in the upcoming series.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Resident Evil Needs More Horror<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

After the film series kicked off in the early 2000s it became apparent that Capcom wanted its survival-horror franchise to flirt more and more with the action and thriller genres. This wasn’t necessarily a poor decision, but the resulting games after RE4 <\/em>were met with harsh criticism, not to mention the film series that followed suit. It’s important to\u00a0note that more recent video games, particularly RE7<\/em>, prove\u00a0the series is returning to its horror roots in a big way. Fans hope the\u00a0upcoming\u00a0series does, too.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Portray More Playable Characters From The Games<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Unless they\u00a0were introduced to Resident Evil<\/em> by the films, most\u00a0fans were disappointed to see very little attention was paid to the characters they controlled in the original games. While Jill was portrayed at least aesthetically consistent in Resident Evil: Apocalypse<\/em>\u00a0with her Nemesis-era tube top and skirt, there doesn’t seem to be much concern in the films for the actual characters many fans love so dearly. Isn’t it weird that\u00a0 Milla Jovovich’s Alice was never a playable character in any of the games, yet she’s the star of a film series based on video games? The films\u00a0are paint by numbers\u00a0action\u00a0movies inside\u00a0flimsy Resident Evil<\/em>\u00a0picture frames.\u00a0It would be a favor to diehard fans if the series pays attention to the popular characters like Chris, Barry, Jill, Leon, Claire, Rebecca and many more.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Don’t Forget Why Resident Evil Is So Popular<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Resident Evil\u00a0<\/em>started off as a zombie horror series. There’s not a sign of martial arts or techno music anywhere to be found in the original PlayStation titles that were on the market when the first film adaptation hit theaters. After making its mark at the box office, Resident Evil <\/em>as a brand\u00a0seemed to favor a lot of the stylistic choices the filmmakers made and followed suit on consoles.\u00a0As time went on fans yearned for the simplicity of a\u00a0classic Resident Evil<\/em> and, as the seventh title in the main series showed us, they’re willing and able to revert to\u00a0Resident Evil<\/em>‘s\u00a0creepy vibes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>A Game Tie-In Would Be Nice<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This series takes viewers 30 years into the future, which will likely achieve a tone similar to George A. Romero’s Land of the Dead<\/em>. If a game in this cinematic world were announced, interest in the series would increase exponentially.\u00a0Fans are more likely to get\u00a0their wish for a video game to play alongside the TV\u00a0granted by the Resident Evil<\/em> movie reboot\u00a0directed by Johannes Roberts<\/a>. This is an easy opportunity for a new Resident Evil<\/em> smartphone game at the very least.<\/p>\n
