      Jill didn't have much of a character "to ruin", she's just nice female #001

        Pretty much. George Romero penned a script to the original Resident Evil and in it he had Chris Redfield as a native american, had that come out today it would have sent G*mers :frothingfash:

            I would pay good money to see a cyborg t-rex fall on top of a General Custer type guy

              I know Turok Evolution is considered a bad game but the ending was pretty cool. He's just standing over this cowboy guy like "You don't deserve a warriors death." And just leaves him for the dinosaurs to eat.

                I know!

                Like, you could just take snips out of all the games and make something really cool with it

                Of course, you'd also want to make sure you either avoid the weird Magical Native American stuff, but that wouldn't be too hard

        That's the thing with these comic and video game characters though, isn't it. They're mostly just a character design which in Jill Valentine's case is "attractive white lady with brown hair, usually worn in a bob" (except when she's mind controlled, then she becomes blonde because uhhh)

          Mind controlled characters always get palette swapped so the (dumb, gamer) audience can tell the difference.

            I guess the stupid spy catsuit with the massive boob window was a bit too subtle

              "Nooo you don't understand, she needed the boob window so the mind control device is easily accessible to anyone!"

              And hot Chris redfield and manhandle it off her chest with big bulging biceps.

          except when she’s mind controlled, then she becomes blonde because uhhh

          the scientific term for that phenomenon is "bimbofication"

          they actually explain why she became blond. " due to the reactivation of her prior t-Virus infection" from the RE wiki

        Honestly none of the player characters in RE have much personality, at least in the games. People view Ethan Winters as generic but I would say he's easily the most three dimensional of all the mainline protagonists because he's more than just a quip machine like Leon or soldier man like Chris.

        Jill is probably my favorite RE character and this is 100% true. RE was never exactly about complex and compelling character writing

          The characters I love best in RE are the endearingly stupid ones. Like in RE2make, Leon comes across as completely clueless and never fully understanding what's going on, but possessed of good enough instincts and fitness that he excels in an emergency situation without the capacity for conscious thought

          And Ethan is so fucking dumb he doesn't think there's anything weird about stapling his severed limbs back on with no ill effects. He is the dumbest video game protagonist of all time and I love him for it.

          How would you differentiate jill from claire, Or jill from Helena? They are all "nice woman who aren't bad and kick ass". You can put jill in RE2 and she would've acted exact same as claire.

          Ada is cool though

            The adventures I've been through with her. REmake and 3 were very memorable experiences, and Jill is the vessel for those experiences. I also liked how she was portrayed in RE3make. Beyond that, I agree with you.

            And Ada absolutely is cool

              Ada rules when she's not being irritatingly evasive about everything, but then again that's her canonical job so
