See? Suddenly you need to inject your creepy personal politics into it when its a black person. We both know you didn't see Gyllenhaal In PoP and say "Oh my god, the Wokies took out the Persian character and put Swedish royalty in!" You probably never even considered it until I brought it up.

/shrug Looks better than the majority of the Resident Evil movies (live action and animated), which isn't saying much since they are all basically dumpster fires. I own them all on bluray because of.... reasons... but none of them are cinematic masterpieces lol.
But that's...what they're doing? Half this teaser looks like it takes place in an Umbrella facility, and "bio(weapon) research that got out of control" is like...exactly what Resident Evil is about. But there are women and black people in the trailer, so it must be "disrespecting the source material." I'd say it was pathetic, but after 6+ years of this bullshit, it's all too predictable.
I love those movies. They are fun, and full of Easter eggs.
So there.

He's right though. If they want to make a black lead, create a new character or use an existing black character (Sheva or even RE2 black officer e.g.) don't ruin characters we've had since the beginning and just xhange them up. Makes no sense and shits on the fans.
As some one who liked all of the Allice resident evil movies baring the last one this looks on par or better then all of them and racoon city, hopefully it can hit the bar of the animated movies as well.
All I ever wanted was the truth. Remember those words as you read the ones that follow. I never set out to topple my father's kingdom of lies from a sense of misplaced pride. I never wanted to bleed the species to its marrow, reaving half the galaxy clean of human life in this bitter crusade. I never desired any of this, though I know the reasons for which it must be done. But all I ever wanted was the truth.
Might check it out out of morbid curiosity, but this tickles my nostalgia boner more:

I'm pretty sure they can tell. Like if the director buys like 5000 computers and mines his own show for ratings, there is no way they wouldn't catch on to that, lol.
Pretty interesting though, like, could I pay a mining farm to love-watch my show I made to drive up the ratings for a few days, to keep Netflix from firing me?
I'm pretty sure whoever made that trailer was banking on such a thing to make up for how bad it was.

IMO, The Boys is a flawed but solid adaptation so far, with interesting spinoffs from the original source material and changes where the television crowd may think the edges are too rough for them. I haven't seen RE yet, but I think it has a very low chance of being in the same league...to start off the source material sucks compared to The Boys, but it is still pretty good overall. However, this trailer looks worse than I could have ever imagined. The power of the sun in the palm of whoever's hand made that trailer, it is certainly a legendary item....just not in a good way.
It is so bad it is a mockery of itself, and I'm super glad it came out, because the joy I would have gotten from another average RE adaptation is much smaller than the joy I will get from the internet mocking this trailer for all time, in a decade someone will post this trailer and this will still be good for a laugh, because it is just so so bad it may be good.
No one ever may make a worse trailer than this one. Only match it. No trailer is of course far better, so one has to get like super-artistic to make one this bad. It can't be easily made up, it must be planned and replanned, then a group must meet to discuss ways to make it worse, it must be casted poorly and only then can it be filmed. It must be on expensive film and highly produced otherwise, in order to pass the uncanny valley and reach the Netflix Resident Evil level of bad.
