Supposedly it all takes place at once instead of in a proper layout of the plot. So RE1/2 at the same time. On top of that, Claire suddenly has Jill’s character arc from 3 in trying to tie Umbrella into the big conspiracy.
Also, Jill’s black now and Leon is either middle eastern or latinx. Cuz diversity hires are always a good idea and you dont ever want to partner two white people together or else they start getting ideas.
Not sure why they couldn’t just make a dedicated RE1 or RE2 movie. Why change things? Why change characters? Why make this movie?
