20 Video Game Villains That SHOULDN'T Have Died

20. Albert Wesker - Resident Evil 5

Albert Wesker is of course the most iconic villain in the entire Resident Evil franchise, and so his demise at the end of Resident Evil 5 continues to be a major bone of contention among fans.

Though Wesker certainly got an incredibly extra demise worthy of his legacy, being shot with not one but two rocket launchers inside an active volcano, his death has also left a colossal void in the series ever since.

To the surprise of many, Wesker's death has actually stuck and we haven't seen him reappear canonically in the 17 years since Resident Evil 5 came out.

And while some fans do feel that there was nowhere else to take Wesker after this, there are many who sorely miss his personality and the uniquely over-the-top bombast he brought to the series.

Letting Wesker rest for a little while wouldn't have hurt, but offing him in such a hilariously final fashion? 

Probably not the best idea, exemplified by Capcom introducing an apparent clone, Zeno, in the recent Resident Evil Requiem. But more on him later.
