Capcom had perhaps the greatest, most recognizable cast of main characters in history, and somehow managed to completely waste them. They made the franchise's games take place in the same real world year they are release, but only committed to something such as "slow aging" when it came to Jill, and very recently. Even then, they never made enough interesting spin-offs. Despite being a massive series, Resident Evil never got a proper anime (and I sure as hell don't want one now, with Netflix being a thing). It never got slice-of-life spinoffs like "daily life of the S.T.A.R.S if the incident never happened, or any other kind of interesting spinoffs for that matter. Those were always just "RE game but with boring characters and slightly different shooting zombies gameplay". The live action movies were horrid. The CGI movies were okay, but full of missed opportunities. They took twenty five years to make a piece of media in where the main characters all fight together, only for it to be a poorly planned and rushed snoozefest, only salvaged by the fact it has the "big four", or rather, "big five".
Resident Evil should have been even bigger. Years and years of the franchise were thrown away because Capcom was never willing to just grab onto the low-hanging fruit and take the easy route. Resident Evil 6 should've featured Jill and Claire, and maybe even Rebecca. Spinoffs and other pieces of media should've been better explored. There should've been more focus on the characters. Everything people talk about nowadays is Leon's muscles and who his wife is, and you know why? Because people actually care about the characters, but Capcom doesn't.

you talk like a faggot and someone who never played the og games. The absolutely were building up to something grander in terms of scale and then just fucked everything up in the most infuriating and quintessentially japanese way possible.

The only analogy I can come up with with mainstream pop culture is how the X-Files was similarly mismanaged and had it's potential completely squandered

People literally only care about Leon and Jill.

HOW did they fuck it up. It was so simple. THE FUCKING GAY ASS NOVELS BY SD PERRY DID IT 30 YEARS AGO.

And the games showed that trying to take down a fucking pharma company was always a gay and retarded idea, which is why the whole thing got dropped

You mean the experienced survivors of bioterrorism outbreaks with direct relations to each other uniting to take down the bioterrorism organization is a bad idea?
Maybe you're just retarded and can't grasp consistent writing with build-up and logic.
