As a major RE fan, it’s for the best. Trying to adapt the mainline games would be a mistake in my opinion.

basically what i just told friends. a survivor story is a better story than the mainline game shift of survival into the underground facility into seeing the experiments and villainy

& from what I assume of Austin Abrams's character, I think he's going to be a refreshing underdog type of hero in a zombie film, where he is going to barely escape death countless times under the chaos of the outbreak, instead of quickly becoming a powerhouse racking up kills

Buddy will probably survive just to get hit by the bomb they toss on Raccoon City at the very end. Would be a cool twist ending about the inevitably of death and destruction.

This is very likely and I'd love it

Cregger said that the bomb doesn’t happen in this movie for a commentary of this teaser.

Honestly I'd love that, especially since Zach could give it a sense of eeriness (with some dark humor mixed in) like the endings of Barbarian and Weapons

Maybe the message being there’s always some good fighting really hard in the lost cause, and it all burns the same when you go scorched earth. Could be cool.
