In this episode of Sci-Fi Graveyard, Joseph, Jeremy, and Josh reach the end of the line with Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, this 2016 film brings Alice back to The Hive in Raccoon City to release an airborne antivirus and save what's left of humanity.The discussion is a mix of relief and frustration as the hosts break down the film's blatant disregard for the continuity established in the previous five movies. They criticize the massive retcons regarding the T-Virus's origin (Dr. Marcus vs. Dr. Ashford), the Red Queen's motivation, and the unexplained disappearance of key characters like Jill Valentine, Leon S. Kennedy, and Ada Wong. The crew mocks the "Clone Saga" reveal, the illogical plot points (like the antivirus spreading instantly worldwide), and the underwhelming deaths of fan-favorite characters like Wesker. Despite the narrative mess, they acknowledge a few decent action beats and the finality of Alice's story. Ultimately, the group votes to "Let It Die," thankful that the convoluted saga of Alice has finally concluded, paving the way for the (also disappointing) reboot.Key Highlights [02:12] On-Set Tragedies: Joseph somberly discusses the severe injuries sustained by stuntwoman Olivia Jackson and the tragic death of crew member Ricardo Cornelius during the film's production. [08:46] The Retcon Mess: The hosts vent about how this movie changes the origin of the T-Virus (now created by Dr. Marcus to cure progeria) and contradicts the lore established in Apocalypse and Extinction. [15:59] Wesker's Downfall: A critique of Albert Wesker's anticlimactic end, where he is fired by the Red Queen and crushed by a door, a far cry from the formidable villain of the games. [23:04] The Instant Cure: The crew laughs at the absurdity of the airborne antivirus instantly curing everyone in Raccoon City the moment the vial breaks, while Alice claims it will take years to spread globally. [30:04] The Clone Reveal: A discussion on the twist that Alice herself is a clone of Alicia Marcus, and how Dr. Isaacs has been using clones to run the show the entire time. [48:00] Let It Die: The verdict is unanimous: this franchise went on for too long, strayed too far from the games, and ended with a whimper rather than a bang.
