'''Instead:''' He thinks of neither and runs away, leaving Wesker to bleed out and Doc to be shot by Claire and giving the heroes time to plant the bombs, bringing down Umbrella for good.

'''And You'd Also Expect:''' That with his T-Virus powers, Wesker could easily put himself back in shape through regeneration.\\
'''Instead:''' Nope. [[ForgotAboutHisPowers Having apparently forgotten about his T-Virus powers]], which he never demonstrates in this film for some reason, Wesker is left lying helpless on the floor and eventually bleeds out before the Hive destruction finishes him off for good.[[note]]The novelization does bring up an explanation, namely, that Wesker's regeneration is far more limited and that he is not impervious to bleeding out, and besides, in the very end [[NotQuiteDead Wesker is implied to be still alive]].[[/note]]



'''You'd Expect:''' Alexander to kill the clone with his cyborg abilities. The clone is armed and clearly disturbed, and might perfectly opt to attack him. Alternatively, Alexander would try and convince his clone that Alice is a greater enemy right now, thus offering him to team up against her. And once Alice is dead, he could easily dispose of his clone next.\\

'''Even Worse:''' Isaacs is supposed to have SuperSenses and SuperSpeed, which should have explicitly enabled him to see it coming and dodge it, but he apparently didn't feel like using them. The result? [[EpicFail The mighty Alexander Isaacs is eliminated by his own, pathetic and non-enhanced doppelgänger]].\\

There were many other surviving yet unseen people in the skyscraper colony, many of them newborn or elderly, and as such Alice and co wanted to made sure they would be alright before proceeding with the mission.


'''You'd Expect:''' Wesker to go himself to Umbrella Prime. With his superhuman abilities, he has absolutely nothing to fear from the Red Queen and her security measures. Even better, in this film he seems to have gotten over his need to eat human flesh.[[note]]And if he was controlling the Red Queen all along as claimed in ''The Final Chapter'', he had no reasons to get Alice there. For instance, why rescuing the original Alice at all when he could just kill her and use Umbrella Prime to create more controllable Alice clones like Becky's mom?[[/note]]\\

'''Instead:''' He executes a monumental and vaguely absurd ruse which sees him imprison Alice in Umbrella Prime, gathering an anti-Umbrella team in the White House, sending them to recover Alice and destroy Prime in the process, and then unloading T-creatures on the White House until everybody except him is dead (even although he could have done it himself in a much more efficient way). For some reason, this also includes Ada Wong, who was never implied to be anything but loyal to Wesker. The result is that Wesker has wasted tons of team and resources, destroyed valuable facilities and betrayed and/or killed a whole lot of useful people for nothing.\\
'''Even Worse:''' And still, he fails to ensure that Alice, who is effectively Umbrella's most dangerous and determined enemy, has died in the battle. The novelization shows the entire battle and has him acquiring full BondVillainStupidity, as he merely leaves the heroes to die to a defective mutant monster, despite he could have butchered all of them and the depowered Alice one for one.

'''Instead:''' They prefer to use her as a piñata for awhile, hitting her with their rifles' butts. Thanks to this, she finds the opportunity to fight them off and escape, only getting knocked out when she tries to hijack an Umbrella motorcycle.

* Claire and the resistance intend to infiltrate the Hive and acquire the antidote, as they are engaged in a very literal countdown for humanity's future. However, Umbrella sends a hefty army against the skyscraper where they have their headquarters.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Them to get down immediately to the Hive, where they could also take cover, impede the army from using its numeric advantage, and maybe even be safe until they find the antidote - which again, they are in a countdown for.\\
'''Instead:''' They delay their plan in order to pointlessly fight the Umbrella contingent in the building, losing a lot of time, humans and firepower virtually for nothing and risking themselves to be killed, all without a clear reason - rather, with a clear reason against it, it being the darn countdown for humanity's future.



'''Instead:''' The history repeated itself. Having learned absolutely nothing from the ''Arcadia'' fiasco, he preferred to let them live peacefully directly on top of the Hive, only sending someone after them when Alice appeared to join forces with them. The result is fatal, as Alice uses their help to infiltrate the Hive and push the events that end up destroying both Wesker and Umbrella.\\
