[[folder: Fridge Brilliance ]]

* People say that the movies are not faithful to the games, as the virus spread through the whole world in Film/ResidentEvilExtinction instead of being stopped at raccoon City as shown in VideoGame/ResidentEvil4, However, this makes sense when you find out that the story of the films was written before that game came out, and while Extinction came out years after VideoGame/ResidentEvil4, the story was already written by the time RE4 came out, (realized while listening to the commentary for RE:Extinction}
** If the virus in the games had actually spread throughout the whole world, wouldn't that have been mentioned in Resident Evil Code: Veronica? Which came out in 2000? 2 years before the first movie even came out?
*** Code Veronica takes places a few months after Resident Evil 2/3, thus the effects of a large scale infection would not have been felt yet, making the above FridgeBrilliance still valid.
