History Fridge / ResidentEvil7Biohazard

* Where are so many people getting the idea that [[spoiler: Mia is supposed to be a highly skilled, elite uber-badass CorporateSamurai]] from? All evidence in the game suggests that [[spoiler: she's been trained on containment procedures as part of her job]] and reasonably apt at handling a gun, but she's about as capable as Ethan is, i.e. perfectly able to defend herself, but nowhere close to the level of combat prowess that the series regulars display. Heck, anyone who's job involves looking after something dangerous is going to be trained on how to deal with it; even an ordinary zookeeper is going to know his way around a rifle, but that doesn't mean he's ready to be air-dropped into a war zone and start building his own weaponry from scratch. Besides, she ''was'' living in Texas before everything went down, so it's not unthinkable that she and Ethan both already knew a bit about guns to begin with.

* He's not law enforcement or military, but it's very likely Ethan ''does'' have prior experience with firearms. His accuracy is quite good when he takes aimed shots, he knows enough about their internals to repair guns himself, and, more tellingly, he keeps his finger off the trigger while passively carrying handguns, a gun safety habit that --[[ArtisticLicenseGunSafety thanks to Hollywood's influence]]-- is seldom-to-never seen in those with zero training. Plus, despite what many appear to believe, firearms training isn't kind some top-secret, forbidden art that only cops and soldiers can learn, and Ethan appears to hail from the gun-friendly neighboring state of Texas, where more than a handful of civilians are familiar with the subject.

* Why is Jack so angry about being demoted to Grandfather and wants to kill Ethan for it? He's not, and he doesn't; ''Jack'' has no say in it, anymore than an action figure gets to choose why a kid is making it fight other toys. The conflict basically amounts to [[spoiler:Eveline playing with her dollies, and if Jack did happen to kill Ethan, she'd just have him go pick out a new daddy and start the whole thing over.]]

* Lucas killed [[spoiler: Clancy]] because as a new big brother he might lose his place. [[spoiler: Since he is no longer infected and onlyplays dumb he might get worried Eveline kills him once she has a suitable replacement.]]

* The guns found on the wrecked tanker are a [[CoolGuns/{{Handguns}} Makarov PM]] and a [[RareGuns PP-19 Bizon]]. Fitting, considering the horrible state of the vessel, that only Russian guns, the most [[MemeticBadass legendarily tough firearms around]], can survive any disaster short of a nuke dropping on them and [[MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong still remain in working order.]] Proof? Here's a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAEbbhRJNYw Makarov PM taking torture test after torture test]] and [[MadeOfIndestructium still shooting strong.]] [[labelnote:note]]Unfortunately the PP-19 is [[NoExportForYou not exported out of Russia]] so no such counterpart video for it exists. It also suggests that the organization behind Eveline's creation or the security element Mia may possible work for is Russian in origin.[[/labelnote]]

** A bit of FridgeHorror for the point directly above regarding the "cut the son's arm off" scene. [[spoiler: You find a paper in the lab that explains that self-mutilation and attacking others is part of Stage 2 of infection. Jack attacks you, Mia, Lucas and almost his wife in a matter of minutes with little provocation, followed by him injuring himself multiple times a bit later in the garage. He is quite simply showing the normal symptoms that are part of the mold overtaking him.]]

* Why can't Molded creatures open doors to follow you? Simply put, they're too stupid to figure out how. To elaborate, the Molded are corpses infested with the mold or golems wholly constructed of the stuff; either way, they're id-driven monsters that don't have a functional human brain for [[spoiler:Eveline to manipulate with her HiveMind]], so they lack the intelligence and reasoning ability to negotiate obstacles like door latches.

*** The back of the picture frame has 1980 as the date Jack earned his EGA, so Vietnam is right out. In the absence of any info as to what his MOS was in the service, all evidence offered in the game itself (the plans in his room, his engineering know-how, and the autonomy to use it for building weapons) points to Lucas as the one who invented it, along with the burner. As for fan speculation, he could have put them together for his own use as insurance, in case Eveline ever figured out that he wasn't under her control anymore and sicced the rest of the "family" on him.

** Another more humorous fridge moment appears right after this. Why did Jack cut his son's arm off? [[spoiler: All violent actions in those infected by the Mold do are made from the demands made by Evelyne, and her control over Lucas was non-existent]], so Jack performed a very ''literal'' and dark interpretation of ''"Cut it out!"'' ever made [[spoiler: on her behalf.]].

* The Shotgun Trap actually comes pretty close to making sense this time. Jack Baker, being a former member of the Marines, would know about storing his guns safely. As a gun owner, he would also know that guns are prime targets for thieves. So as a trap for potential thieves, he stores his shotgun, unloaded in a predominately displayed room that automatically traps you if you try to grab it.
