WMG / Resident Evil Film Series

Go To

Eventually the Film universe and the Video Game Universe will Cross-Over

The next film will end with the Umbrella Corporation creating a portal to a parallel universe to escape Alice's wrath. The universe they go to will be the one from the games, and the fans will finally get an accurate adaptation of the first games.

K-Mart from the movies is actually Ashley
First off, they're equally useless and end up as the damsel in distress more often than not. That'd also explain why she'd rather go by K-Mart since she doesn't want people to know her true identity as the president's daughter. Though that's pretty pointless by now, it's probably a habit that has stuck to her. If anything, she could be using the alias to show that she's equal to them and doesn't want to be treated as the pampered daughter of a powerful man.
  • Jossed The Resident evil movie series and the video game series have absolutely nothing to do with each other canonically. K-Mart is just K-Mart.
    • That... doesn't joss anything, really, for all we know, Ashley might have been K-Mart's inspiration...

Movie-Wesker is an Agent.
This has to do with him taking away Alice's psychic powers, more than anything else. Because Alice is technically canon (the games are in a different continuum than the movies, or something), he's not allowed to kill her. But he was granted special permission to alter Alice enough to avoid her from rampaging again.

Alice was a genetically created human being who was born in a lab with the T-virus already in her genetic structure.
Project Alice has been a major component of the film series, and it's generally assumed that it was initiated near the end of the first film, after Alice was taken from the mansion, and waking up in the hospital.

But what if that's incorrect? What if Project Alice actually started long, long before the events of the first film even happened?

From the third film onwards, the Umbrella corporation has shown that it has insanely good cloning abilities, and can give clones artificial memories, personalities, etc. Now, it's never been shown exactly how these clones are made, but it's reasonable to assume that somewhere, they get the embryos and manage to accelerate their growth at near impossible-speeds. And considering that Umbrella's entire existence is devoted to viruses and genetic tampering (and building impossibly huge bases in remote locations), it seems very likely that Umbrella has the power to create life itself, or at the least, take life, and then change it to their own ends.

Let's assume that long ago, Dr. Ashford develops the T-virus to save his girl from being a cripple. Umbrella learns of the virus and takes it, and does their own work and research on it, and CEO Albert Wesker sees enormous potential in it: being the megalomaniac that he is, he secretly desires to become a god, and rule over a race of superhumans, and commissions Project Alice: a project designed to create the perfect human being, one who is faster, stronger, more durable, and more powerful then a normal human could ever hope to be. Thus, under the guidance of Dr. Issacs, an embryo is taken, injected with the T-virus (this might explain the scars on Alice's shoulders; they're the result of the first infection she ever got), and genetically modified so that all those abilities are already inside the embryo as it quickly grows and matures into an adult, and is given the name, Alice.

Alice is given a set of false memories to simulate her childhood, and made the head of security for the hive, and is eventually disgusted by all the immoral things she sees going on. As a result, she decides to smuggle some of Umbrella's secrets to the outside world. Unknown to her, however, is that Wesker wanted this to happen, and arranges for Spence to steal the virus and unleash it on the hive, under the cover of wanting to sell it to the outside world. Being a loyal employee, Spence does so, and the events of the first film happen. At this stage in her life, Alice is quite skilled, but not at her full potential. Thus, when she's taken from the mansion, she's tweaked, so to speak, and upgraded to Alice 2.0. At this point, she reaches full Mary Su...I mean, her full status and potential.

During the events of Apocalypse, Wesker orders the city sealed (he's the man Cain was talking to over the headset) and has project Nemesis fight against Project Alice. When she succeeds, it's proof that she's the perfect individual, as Issacs confirms in the Detroit facility.

When the planet is overrun by the T-Virus, Wesker is delighted, as this is what he secretly planned for, as his quest to becoming a god and creating a planet of superior beings is well underway. Taking the data from Project Alice, he injects himself and upgrades as well, so that he's now superior to Alice. Having her come to him makes things even better, as he neutralizes her super-haman powers (it's important to note that she's still genetically and physically superior to other humans, though, which is why she is still so good at combat and whatnot).

However, when Wesker is defeated, he realizes that with the Red Queen now going haywire and seeking to destroy everyone and everything, he won't have the ability to create his perfect world, as the Queen is going a different path then he intended, and is for the destruction of all life, not just most life, as Wesker planned. Thus, he's forced to save his pet project, and join forces with her to save the planet. However, when that's done, Wesker will still proceed with his plan to create a race of super-beings. "Enemy of my enemy is my friend" alliances don't tend to last very long, after all...

  • Huh, interesting. Any other Capcom games that cross over in this theory?

Thus, Alice is so valuable to Wesker and the Umbrella corporation, because she's the template for Wesker's perfect race.

Timothy Cain was going to be "liquidated" after the events of Apocalypse.
He shot and killed Dr. Ashford, simply to prove a point, Ashford was the one who (according to the novels) took the progenitor virus, that Dr. Marcus invented, and refined it to become the T-Virus, making him the de-facto inventor and expert of the T-virus, he would be knowledgeable enough that he was going to be the spearhead of the airborne antivirus they needed to wipe out the infected after the "flood" plan, the project would have been finished earlier with his expertise, and Cain killed him, someone who was probably more valuable to Umbrella that Cain was.
