History Awesome / ResidentEvilAfterlife

* ''Afterlife'' opens with one of these: [[MagnificentBastard Wesker]] versus Alice. During the second and third films, Alice transformed from the BadassNormal she was in the first film to overpowered who could win a fistfight with the friggin' [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis Nemesis]], use PsychicPowers gained from bonding with the T-Virus, and [[SpotlightStealingSquad stole the spotlight]] from canon badasses Jill Valentine and Claire Redfield. She even assembled [[MesACrowd a clone army]] developed by Umbrella to take on the company itself. So, what happens in ''Afterlife''? The clone army strikes at Umbrella's Tokyo HQ, but Wesker manages to kill two of the clones, evacuate to a CoolPlane, leave the facility, and annihilate both the facility and the Alice clones with a nuclear bomb. The original Alice jumps him on the plane, but he catches her off guard and injects her with a serum that destroys the T-Virus (which removes her God Mode powers) before ''[[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown he kicks her ass from one end of the plane to the other]].'' Yes, you read that right: Wesker ''beat the Sue out of Alice.'' And for everyone who wanted to see that moment? It. Was. '''''Glorious.'''''

* The filmmakers deliberately wanted to make this film come off as faithful to the games and address complaints about the other movies. The Executioner, Majini, Wesker, Jill with the mind control spider, and the shot-for-shot remake of a ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'' cutscene are meta Moments of Awesome for ''them.''

** You have...probably made some mistakes with your story if your hero getting the everloving shit beaten out of them by the villain in a CurbstompBattle is considered an Awesome Moment worth celebrating as if it were the villain receiving the beating. Then again, [[spoiler:an AuthorsSavingThrow combined with a TakeThatScrappy]] was a definite step in the right direction for the series.
* [[spoiler:Luther averts BlackDudeDiesFirst by somehow surviving zombies dragging him into the sewers. "Star power, bitches!"]]

* [[spoiler:In the climax, Bennet reaches for Alice's gun to stop her from fighting Wesker. As he reaches for it, K-Mart grabs the gun. When he asks, "Who the fuck're you?", she answers by pistol-whipping him cold.]]
* Alice [[spoiler:puts the Arcadia nuke into the V22 that Wesker jumps into to escape at the end of the movie. His eyes light up and his face remains the same, but you can tell that inside, he is nowhere near as calm and collected.]]

* Even more epicness in the final boss fight. [[spoiler: Alice shoots her shotgun filled with coins at a dog. It kills the dog and the coins hit a window at the top of the area. A dog jumps at her while the glass is falling. She brings her leg up, and kicks a shard of glass at the dog. It kills it. Later on, Wesker is about to eat Alice. She takes the shotgun and shoots him, blowing a hole in his head. After that, Wesker is starting to get back up. Alice notices this, but Chris pushes him down, says "I don't think so" and Chris and Claire unload their pistols at him.]]
** [[spoiler: And he SURVIVES ALL THAT, PLUS the above mentioned plane nuke! They definitely kept Wesker as powerful as possible.]]
* As further evidence that writer/director Paul W.S. Anderson learned from past mistakes, Claire goes from doing pretty much nothing in the ''Extinction'' to having a legitimate Moment of Awesome of her own: the fight against [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil5 the Executioner Majini]] in the prison's shower room. The fight ''tears the room apart'' and climaxes with Claire grabbing Alice's sawed-off shotgun, sliding toward the Executioner, and shooting him point blank in the chest. Granted, [[spoiler:it only puts him down temporarily]], but it was still awesome.

* [[spoiler:Bennet]] grabs a nearby scalpel and stabs Alice in the her forearm with it. [[LodgedBladeRecycling Alice pulls it out and uses it to stab]] the BigBad in the forehead.
** [[spoiler: And Wesker is only inconvenienced by said stabbing for a few seconds.]]

* ''Afterlife'' opens with one of these: [[MagnificentBastard Wesker]] versus [[GodModeSue Alice]]. During the second and third films, Alice transformed from the BadassNormal she was in the first film to a full-blown GodModeSue (even BlackHoleSue by ''Extinction'') who could win a fistfight with the friggin' [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis Nemesis]], use PsychicPowers gained from bonding with the T-Virus, and [[SpotlightStealingSquad stole the spotlight]] from canon badasses Jill Valentine and Claire Redfield.

* ''Afterlife'' opens with one of these: [[MagnificentBastard Wesker]] versus [[GodModeSue Alice]]. Let's put this into context, shall we? Over the course of movies 2 and 3, Alice has gone from the BadassNormal she was in film 1 to a full-blown GodModeSue (even BlackHoleSue by the third film), who could win a fistfight with the friggin' [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis Nemesis]], had PsychicPowers that she got from the T-Virus, and constantly [[SpotlightStealingSquad stole the spotlight]] from canon [[BadAss badasses]] Jill Valentine and Claire Redfield. She even [[spoiler:assembled [[MesACrowd a clone army]] to take on Umbrella.]] So, what happens in film 4? [[spoiler:As the clones go into Umbrella's Tokyo HQ, Wesker guns down two clones, evacuates to a CoolPlane, leaves the facility and ''nukes'' the entire clone army. He's then jumped by the original Alice on the plane...and he proceeds to tell her that it's nice to finally meet her, catches her off guard and injects her with a serum that permanently removes her God Mode powers, and then ''[[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown kicks her ass from one end of the plane to the other]].''

** Followed by Alice reawakening and the two pulling of DeadlyDodging to disarm the creature, and then proceeding to [[YourHeadAsplode blow his head off]] with the other shotgun
* Wesker headshotting an Alice clone while she was freefalling!
** And then coolly walking away from the explosion caused by the second Alice clone trying to invoke a TakingYouWithMe with only a few bruises
* Wesker's epic combination of BadassBoast and PreAssKickingOneLiner before utterly stomping the Redfield sibling duo:
-->'''Wesker:''' " Well isn't this one big family reunion? Chris and Claire Redfield, you've really become quite an inconvenience for me. "
