* AdaptationalUgliness: The Lickers (See the page image), while [[UnderStatement certainly not the prettiest thing in the games,]] look downright [[BodyHorror repulsive]] here, [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2(Remake) looking closer to their remake counterparts]], and even then, [[UpToEleven they somehow managed to look even worse.]] Here, their exposed brains are replaced by mounds of deformed flesh, [[{{Gorn}} they're soaked in blood,]] their teeth [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily are more pronounced and predatory looking,]] and their whole bodies are emaciated and skeletal.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: In a meeting during the second trailer, one Umbrella executive brushes off warnings that their new miracle drug could create monsters with a quip about putting it on the warning label. The next trailer shows the same executive stating in an interview that the Umbrella corporation is seeking to change its image. So much for that.
* EvilInc: In the trailers, we learn that this version of Umbrella has already been beset by multiple scandals. They make a point that they are trying to reform their image. However, when they are warned about the T-Virus contained in their new miracle drug and [[ZombieApocalypse what it can do]], they brush it off without thinking about it.

* ZombieApocalypse: When not depicting a peaceful slice of Americana hiding dark secrets, the trailers present a dark future full of undead monsters, many of them recognizable from the games (Cerberuses and Lickers, to name a few).

* StepfordSuburbia: The first teaser shows the main family as they move into one of these in 2022. It’s an offputtingly serene town with public Yoga sessions and all-white buildings. And it happens to have an Umbrella facility in it.
