9 Insulting Ways Characters Were Killed Off Between Movies

4. Every Video Game Hero Just... Disappears - Resident Evil: The Final Chapter

Paul WS. Anderson's Resident Evil franchise absolutely resents the people who enjoy it. From movie to movie, the writers constantly disregard their own continuity, picking and choosing the parts they need and completely sh*****g over the rest of it. What they hate more than coherent storytelling, though, is the source material the movies are based on - as iconic video game characters are relegated to two-bit imitations.

All that seemed set to change by the end of the fifth film, Retribution, however. The finale saw hero Alice teaming up with former villain Wesker, as well as Jill Valentine, Leon S. Kennedy and the legendary Ada Wong from the video games, for a last stand in the white house against the hordes of the incoming undead. It provided an image and a set up so cool, that there was no way even Paul Anderson could f*** it up.

Of course, that's exactly what he did, as the next movie, The Final Chapter, picks up in the immediate aftermath of this battle, where Alice is the only survivor. It's never explained what actually happened, and you never get to see the action, and the video game characters who were finally set up to do something, anything, were brushed aside, apparently killed in the fight.

Fans shouldn't have expected anything more, but it was a new level of insulting for a series that made insulting its fans its entire reason to exist.
