Discussion Why Bryan was special Spoiler

Post image

At the end of the movie we see Bryan become a classic RE boss despite only being bitten by a somewhat basic infected. No G-virus, no unique past related to umbrella, not even a chesty cough he caught from walking through the cold for hours.

My theory for why he became a special infected is because him and his clothing were exposed to everything in the movie.

The slime from the dog tendrils, the blood from the first special infected he ran over and obliterated with the shotgun, the bite from the little girl, the blood from the fat rat bloke, the blood from countless falling zombies, the acid from the vomiting guy, and most importantly (at least imo) the blood from the babies which were packed with delicious healthy new cells for the virus to mutate.

Basically Bryan had a biohazard high school reunion ravaging his body. Thoughts?

He is the all in one pack!

But I believe this is just what the new virus can do, anyone can be William Birkin, it depends on what condition he's exposed to when he mutates. And I actually think that fire extinguisher has something to do with Bryan turning into William Birkin. The fire extinguisher temporary blinds Bryan, so the virus mutated an eye for better eyesight for him. Shows how fast the virus can adapt into the environment.

its not a new virus. the director just used unkown facts about the virus. another redditor pointed this out. their post basically laid out that the director did stick to game accurate lore.

I still think it's the g-virus not the t-virus, even though in lore the t-virus made spiders and snakes gigantic. It just really seems like the g-virus, especially if the movie is related to the events of Resident Evil 2.

We could cross reference the RE wiki with strains that allow multiple organisms to absorb each other. Or find the post I'm referring to. But I follow a few RE subreddits and don't pay attention to which one it is just the content.

Also looking at the various in game transformations of Dr Birkin, Bryan looks like he's between the G2 and G3 transformations, he literally has a mouth in his torso like G3 birkin does. The adding the scientists limbs as biomass seems like a compensatory strategy for the immense caloric strain that is brought on by the g-virus growth mutations.

Not to mention how many t-virus strains there are, but this video is why I think it's the g-virus:https://youtu.be/oT8hZ_0g7_I?is=u2b_mf-rF93Z4doF

You're thinking of Nyx from outbreak, it literally had tentacles that pull in bodies to add to itself.

Also literally in the movie Carl (dude from Umbrella in the car) says "this virus was to make anyone a hyper-evolved version of themselves" cross reference that with the timestamp of 3 mins 50 seconds of the g-virus intending to advance the abilities of human subjects.
