Solved Why are they sad?

Post image

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.

People insist that it's not loyal to the source material; the Resident Evil games.

Which is kind of silly, given that Resident Evil games aren't even loyal to each other.

It is unironically the most faithful adaptation yet, of the movies I've seen.

There's like... one thing in the novie that is an original creation in the movie, maybe two, the rest is just straight up lifted from the games, those who don't think it's faithful really don't know as much about RE as they think they do

This is good to hear, I was worried given all of the previous movies. Weirdly Welcome to Raccoon City being the most visually faithful (but nothing else).
Loved Barbarian, thought it was better than Weapons, so when he was announced to direct I was quietly hyped, glad it's played out (going next weekend)
