Line 222:
* As a matter of fact, [[Word of God]] says that Jill is straight up ''immune'' to the T-Virus.
** She was vaccinated against it in RE3, yes.
* In addition, not everyone becomes a zombie after dying. Kenneth, for one. None of our protagonists. Rebecca doesn't if you let her get killed by a hunter in the [[R EmakeRemake]].
** Rebecca doesn't become a zombie in the [[R EmakeRemake]] because the Hunter cuts her head off.
*** That's only in the original. In the REmake, it just cuts her throat. That said, somewhere in the Resident Evil wiki, it mentions that 10% of people don't have any reaction to the T-Virus, but I can't be arsed to look it up just now.
** Another stroke against this is because many of the protagonists die in much worse ways than zombie bites, while some do regenerate as zombies. Kenneth doesn't get a chance to come back a zombie due to the zombie devouring his neck to the point of a pseudo-decapitation and Enrico gets shot. Likewise, Brad Vickers becomes an unwitting victim to [[Naughty Tentacles]], returning as a zombie, and Forest, while pecked to death by T-Virus infected Crows, comes back as a zombie. Other characters you can find in [[RE 3]] are either dead from other things or their own suicides.
Line 399:
 
== Every game is canon. The playable characters are all unreliable narrators ==
In most of the games, characters save their progress at typewriters, and [[Apocalyptic Log|presumably make note of their experiences]]. On top of retcons/changes from later games ([[R EmakeRemake]], Chronicles, etc.), some games even give you a choice of your player character offering two sets of contradicting stories. (In RE1, either Chris or Jill is kidnapped by Wesker, and either Barry or Rebecca, despite both canonically surviving the mansion incident, is never seen depending on your choice.) Nothing is truly contradicted or retconned, but [[Unreliable Narrator|instead liberties are taken by the author of whichever character's story you're reading]].
* To use another [[RE 1/R Emake|RE 1]] example, Wesker is shown being "killed" by the Tyrant in two different ways. After the first battle with the Tyrant, on Jill's side, Wesker's body is gone. On Chris's, it's still there. Chris only assumed Wesker was dead instead of actually checking (he has less medical experience than Jill and Rebecca, as demonstrated by his inability to make V-JOLT), making Wesker's return in Code Veronica that much more surprising to him. It's also no coincidence the character you're playing as gets [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|to destroy the Tyrant with a rocket launcher]] while the other one is apparently unconscious. And then previously in [[RE 0]], Rebecca previously had two run-ins with a Tyrant, as well as countless hunters, but in Chris's story, she's relegated to possibly getting killed by a hunter if [[Big Damn Heroes|Chris doesn't save her as she cowers in fear]]. Now that we [[Alternate Character Interpretation|know Chris likes being thought of as a badass who saves the day]], is it any wonder why he apparently looks like he was ripped out of an action movie in RE5?
** That also explains why, when playing as Sheva, you realize his AI is stupider during the boss fight with Jill. Make of it what you will. ;)
