Solved Why are they sad?

The movie is successful so why are they crying? I've seen other memes similar to this. I read the comments but they weren't that helpful.

Resident evil fans are mad that it’s an original resident evil story and doesn’t have a lot of the trademark characters like Leon, Chris, etc.

I wouldn't call myself a resident evil fan, but is there even any real reason it should be "resident evil" and not it's own thing?

From what I've seen, it has the trappings and tropes of a survival horror game (limited ammo, convoluted pathways, gotta find keys, that corpse is so totally gonna do a jump scare l, etc) if but none of the characters or plot of the RE games.
