The best explanation I can think of is she tripped and fell, and hit her head on a rock on her trek through the woods to the Spencer mansion. Her headband is actually being used as a bandage for the bump on her noggin, and the combination of the trauma and the injury has made her completely forget the events of RE0.

[[WMG: Rebecca has amnesia.]]

When Chris and Rebecca first meet each other, why doesn't bother to say anything to Chris about about the ordeal she just went through and all the monsters she's fought in Resident Evil Zero. It's not like she needs to mention Billy in order to describe the evidence of Umbrella being up to no good she's discovered, so why doesn't she bother to say anything? "Hey, Umbrella has a massive underground facility that's producing zombies and bioweapons" seems the kind of thing to mention to Chris at some point.

This is, of course, because RE Zero came out 8 months after the remake of the first game, but if you assume the events of RE Zero happened, it makes Rebecca's failure to mention anything really odd. RE Zero doesn't have anything in it that explains why Rebecca stays silent about it afterwards.

The scenes where she cowers in fear of a hunter (it's possible to get the best ending in the [=PS1=] version without triggering this) and the scene in the remake where she stands in front of the Tyrant and needs to be rescued by Chris also feel unusual given she's already fought numerous enemies, including having killed a Tyrant by herself. Why has she suddenly forgotten how to handle something she's faced down already?

[[WMG: Some of the viruses are ultimately benevolent]]

The main problem is the mutations tend to happen way too fast, are too unstable and unpredictable, and spread too easily to not cause outbreaks wherever they appear. As we saw with Albert Wesker and Carla Radames, it's possible to take time to produce a successful final product of a virus. Wesker needed regular upkeep, but his superhuman abilities were otherwise 100% under his control, as was his grasp on sanity (complete global saturation goals notwithstanding). Carla was successfully made into a perfect clone of Ada Wong via the C-Virus, and only became a villain because she was still Carla, and went crazy because of the experiments done to her, not because of the virus itself.

Some enemies, like Rachael Foley and the Skagdead communication officer from ''Revelations'', still seem to maintain their original personalities despite the horrible mutations (especially those two, as journal logs/data files show that their mutations happened slowly compared to the more common enemies, and they were aware the whole time). Sherry Birkin still has the G-Virus in her system, but it grants her the benevolent effect of rapid healing capabilities. It seems like many of the mainline viruses could ultimately be beneficial for humanity, if only they didn't cause freakish violent mutations, and had plenty of time to properly bond with the host subject.

[[WMG: ''Resident Evil'' occupies a "Creator/{{Capcom}} SharedUniverse" with ''Franchise/StreetFighter'']]

The world of Franchise/StreetFighter is one where even an atheletic schoolgirl or a morbidly obese middle aged hillbilly can, if they are willing to practice long and hard enough, become warriors with martial prowess that better fit in a {{Wuxia}} or Shounen Anime Fighting Series than in a mundane world. Since both stories are made and owned by Creator/{{Capcom}}, this a would comfortably explain the PowerSeepPowerCreep in ''Resident Evil'' that would allow an ''unenhanced'' human like Chris Redfield to go from a terrified boy in 1998 to a behemoth of muscle who can MegatonPunch a ''boulder'' into lava in 2015. Superhuman feats notwithstanding, Chris and Leon have demonstrated that like Kasugano Sakura (the aforementioned mundane Japanese Schoolgirl), ''years'' of endless combat and practice have ''also'' turned ''them'' into warriors whose ''raw skill'' alone are equal to the likes of Ryu, Guile and Sagat, as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw8U3CZKJdU spectacularly demonstrated by the duo tearing through a horde of ''dozens'' of Zombies]] in ''Resident Evil Vendetta.'' Since neither men are explicitly superhuman, the world of ''Resident Evil'' sharing (and therefore having the same rules of spiritual growth for Warriors as) the World of ''Street Fighter'' is the safest explanation for their superhuman progress in the way of combat.

[[WMG: Eventually the Film universe and the Video Game Universe will Cross-Over]]

The next film will end with the Umbrella Corporation creating a portal to a parallel universe to escape Alice's wrath. The universe they go to will be the one from the games, and the fans will finally get an accurate adaptation of the first games.

[[WMG: K-Mart from the movies is actually Ashley]]
First off, they're equally useless and end up as the damsel in distress more often than not. That'd also explain why she'd rather go by K-Mart since she doesn't want people to know her true identity as the president's daughter. Though that's pretty pointless by now, it's probably a habit that has stuck to her. If anything, she could be using the alias to show that she's equal to them and doesn't want to be treated as the pampered daughter of a powerful man.
* {{Jossed}} The Resident evil movie series and the video game series have absolutely nothing to do with each other canonically. K-Mart is just K-Mart.
** That... doesn't joss anything, really, for all we know, Ashley might have been K-Mart's inspiration...

[[WMG:Movie-Wesker is [[WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum an Agent.]]]]
This has to do with [[spoiler:him taking away Alice's psychic powers, more than anything else.]] Because Alice is technically canon (the games are in a different continuum than the movies, or something), he's not allowed to kill her. But he was granted special permission to alter Alice enough to avoid her from rampaging again.

[[WMG: Alice was a genetically created human being who was born in a lab with the T-virus already in her genetic structure.]]
Project Alice has been a major component of the film series, and it's generally assumed that it was initiated near the end of the first film, after Alice was taken from the mansion, and waking up in the hospital.

But what if that's incorrect? What if Project Alice actually started long, long before the events of the first film even happened?

From the third film onwards, the Umbrella corporation has shown that it has insanely good cloning abilities, and can give clones artificial memories, personalities, etc. Now, it's never been shown exactly how these clones are made, but it's reasonable to assume that somewhere, they get the embryos and manage to accelerate their growth at near impossible-speeds. And considering that Umbrella's entire existence is devoted to viruses and genetic tampering (and building impossibly huge bases in remote locations), it seems very likely that Umbrella has the power to create life itself, or at the least, take life, and then change it to their own ends.

Let's assume that long ago, Dr. Ashford develops the T-virus to save his girl from being a cripple. Umbrella learns of the virus and takes it, and does their own work and research on it, and CEO Albert Wesker sees enormous potential in it: being the megalomaniac that he is, he secretly desires to become a god, and rule over a race of superhumans, and commissions Project Alice: a project designed to create the perfect human being, one who is faster, stronger, more durable, and more powerful then a normal human could ever hope to be. Thus, under the guidance of Dr. Issacs, an embryo is taken, injected with the T-virus (this might explain the scars on Alice's shoulders; they're the result of the first infection she ever got), and genetically modified so that all those abilities are already inside the embryo as it quickly grows and matures into an adult, and is given the name, Alice.

Alice is given a set of false memories to simulate her childhood, and made the head of security for the hive, and is eventually disgusted by all the immoral things she sees going on. As a result, she decides to smuggle some of Umbrella's secrets to the outside world. Unknown to her, however, is that Wesker wanted this to happen, and arranges for Spence to steal the virus and unleash it on the hive, under the cover of wanting to sell it to the outside world. Being a loyal employee, Spence does so, and the events of the first film happen. At this stage in her life, Alice is quite skilled, but not at her full potential. Thus, when she's taken from the mansion, she's tweaked, so to speak, and upgraded to Alice 2.0. At this point, she reaches full Mary Su...I mean, her full status and potential.

During the events of Apocalypse, Wesker orders the city sealed (he's the man Cain was talking to over the headset) and has project Nemesis fight against Project Alice. When she succeeds, it's proof that she's the perfect individual, as Issacs confirms in the Detroit facility.

When the planet is overrun by the T-Virus, Wesker is delighted, as this is what he secretly planned for, as his quest to becoming a god and creating a planet of superior beings is well underway. Taking the data from Project Alice, he injects himself and upgrades as well, so that he's now superior to Alice. Having her come to him makes things even better, as he neutralizes her super-haman powers (it's important to note that she's still genetically and physically superior to other humans, though, which is why she is still so good at combat and whatnot).

However, when Wesker is defeated, he realizes that with the Red Queen now going haywire and seeking to destroy everyone and everything, he won't have the ability to create his perfect world, as the Queen is going a different path then he intended, and is for the destruction of all life, not just most life, as Wesker planned. Thus, he's forced to save his pet project, and join forces with her to save the planet. However, when that's done, Wesker will still proceed with his plan to create a race of super-beings. "Enemy of my enemy is my friend" alliances don't tend to last very long, after all...
* Huh, interesting. Any other Capcom games that cross over in this theory?

Thus, Alice is so valuable to Wesker and the Umbrella corporation, because she's the template for Wesker's perfect race.

[[WMG: Alexia & Alfred, were Alexander's attempt at his own version of Project W.]]

He knew that Spencer was behind his fathers death, but being on the board, also knew of Project Wesker, in order to attempt some form of revenge/leverage against Spencer, Alexander decided to eschew Spencers method of creating a "superior" race (eugenics) and cloned a known "superior" ancestor, Veronica, who was a genius, he also knew about the W-Virus, but knew of it's abysmal success rate, he hoped that his children would create a virus similar but with a less crappy success rate, he was on the money, as T-Veronica, despite needing a lengthy incubation time, is compatible with anyone if they do so, problem was The Twins had the same issue that Project W had, that the children tended to be a bit rebellious when they discovered their origins.

Think about it, all of them got scratched, bitten, cut, beaten, and taken a walk/swim/run thru infected areas. And although they can get poisoned, they never show any effects of infection. This also could be the reason why plants work this way on them.

** I always figured that is exactly why Wesker chose them to be S.T.A.R.S members, not because of their skills, but because each member was found to be resistant to the T-Virus, after all, it would be child's play to get a blood sample during the interviews, under the excuse of "advanced drug screening", why else would they hire a fresh out of school 18 year old as a special terrorism squads medic? After all it would be difficult to get "combat data" from them if they all died straight away from one scratch.

*** This is actually a touch of TruthInTelevision, many "prodigies" usually are woefully underequipped to deal with the adult level expectations placed on them, so they end up with some kind of complex to deal with it, unfortunately Alexia and William (who was a prodigy himself), both ended up with a God Complex.
