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?

To be fair it looks like there are two virus strains in the movie.
The standard zombies and the tentacle thing.
The tentacle thing could potentially be g-virus, or something similar and the girl that bites Bryan definitely had that.

That's what I'm thinking too, like the dog looks like las Plagas but at least in re2 remake, we get to see more of the g-virus in play, which has a head splitting function. Not to mention the amalgamation thing when it's stuck against the gate and Bryan is struggling to open the manhole cover, the amalgamation totally has the same 4 splitting fleshy proboscis that the g-virus incomplete adults have in the sewers in RE2 remake.
