“Welcome to the family son” Literally, Ethan became part of the family.

resident evil probably thinking bout which character to traumatize next

i feel bad for ethan, he was so clueless all the time

Rose is supposedly more broken and powerful than Eveline? Now I really can't wait to see what happens with the next game

That's why Lady D is not impressed with Ethan's blood when she tasted it.

Ethan didn't even saw the real Mia this whole game...just Miranda mimicking her. He died without ever seeing Mia and that is just sad and fucked up. 😩😩😩

Ethan is a small yet memorable protagonist. I’ll miss him.

So that's sums up Ethan demigod that can withstand impossible physical and mental injuries. Ethan actually built to fight Jack and village weirdos not knowing he's not just being a husband and a Father.

For some reason I always assumed Ethan himself had become a bio weapon since the first game in this new story with him, being able to re attach limbs and patch himself up and push on through immense physical damage was really telling.

Capcom should've showed Ethan's face for his ending.

When using photo mode on the last seconds of the post-credit ending, the figure that is walking along the road in the distance has a slightly more decayed version of ethan's fingerless hand.

*PIERS AND ETHAN WINTERS* GIVING CHRIS THE *PTSD* OF HIS LIFE

So Meranda actually cut up a baby in pieces just to “test” her regenerative abilities?! That dark...

Poor Chris man can't catch a break when it comes to having freinds he cares about.

When the guy in the last cutscene tells the older Rose that she's a lot like him, meaning her father Ethan, she says "I know" She knows this because she has access to Ethan's consciousness through the Mutamycete network, that Miranda mentions as she kills Ethan.

Well. RIP Ethan. At least we officially found out how Ethan continues to live through grievous bodily harm all the damn time...

Now it makes sense why Ethan didn't have to cure himself near the end of Resident Evil 7. He wasn't just infected with the mold like Mia was, he was mold.

Knowing that Ethan was dead for the best part of three years, Jack saying ''Welcome to the family son'' makes a lot more sense

My mouth was literally gaping when Evelyn revealed Ethan's death, like it all fell into place. Didn't answer all the questions but still something

I think next game we’re either playing as chris or rose because near the end it said “now the farther story is done” or something like that giving us a hint that it’s either the daughter mia or someone else or either im looking into this too much and we’re going to be playing as chris

I dont think they should have killed ethan just like that. I liked him as a character interacting with the craziness around him

So now we can have Rose, Jake, and Sherry team up and form their own superpowered virus killing unit.

So Ethan isn't actually "dead" dead? His consciousness is probably still within the mold's network, just like how Miranda wanted to bring her child back into Rose's body and how Ethan got to talk to Eveline near the end of the game. This further goes back into RE7 where Ethan got to talk to Jack's consciousness pleading Ethan to save his family. Lastly, it could be a stretch but, grown-up Rose herself might just be able to put Ethan's consciousness into a new body, again, just like how Miranda wanted to do with Rose for her child. Or Rose could very well just meet her father within the "network" every now and then, hence why she replied to the guy "I know" when the guy said "you're a lot like your father" or something. Damn megamycete tryna be a google server.

One character that I’m really interested is the Duke. He was helping Ethan to take out Miranda so looks like he might be part of another organization or maybe leading one himself.

I was sad asf to see ethen go out like that

I love how Rose is wearing the jacket that Ethan left to her

This story hits harder then Chris hits the boulder in resident evil 5

I do like how Heidelberg calls Redfield "That Boulder punching..." asshole

Fun fact the parasite that changed the house lords is called "Cadou" which means "gift" if translated from Romanian to English. So it could mean that the 4 house lords got the "Cadou" or rather said the gift from Miranda that gave them superpowers. Or it may have some other interpretation.

so hes not actually dead but lost his humanity at that point and became a bioweapon. thats fkn rad

Maybe that’s why they never showed us Ethan’s face. They didn’t want us to get too attached to him lol

I believe we'll be playing as Rose next time since it specifically says "the fathers story is over" not "the winters story" or some variation of

This was a pretty unique time you can say from a RE game

I had a very good suspicion before the game came out that the old lady was Miranda following Ethan on his merry journey, glad it checks out

Biohazard and Village are just so much fun and interesting. I finished Village last night and am sad to end the experience.:(

i’m gonna miss playing as Ethan :’( he’s a great protagonist

I just realize the E in E-series doesn't stand for Eveline, it's Eva

"she appears to be about 20-30" The subtitles: "stand down, she's just a kid"

For the DLC im thinking Ethan survived and will stumble upon a cave with Neanderthal paintings of the umbrella logo indicating that it was the virus that caused humans to evolve and everyone was secretly infected

If there is a new game starring Chris wouldn't that put him up to about 50-60 years old? Considering he was fairly young during Racoon city and Sherry grew up, that would put two infected girls growing to adulthood in his lifetime. Either he's still roided up to punch boulders, he's got some superpower from all the bioweapons he's fought, or he's gonna be close to his last set of missions.

I’ve been waiting for a video like this tying everything together. Excellent video, you got straight to the point.

You kind of missed the whole part where we actually arent sure if Ethan is even dead. In the end scene of Rose's story, we clearly see someone that looks like Ethan's model in the background.

so that's why baker family was able to communicate with ethan in his mind back at re7, he is already one of them

When she said that the blood was stale was foreshadowing

I don't play horror games as a personal rule, so hearing the synopsis from people who do is quite enjoyable.

Ethan Winters looking for her daughter Rose, kind a similar to the 1st Silent Hill where Harry Mason also desperately looking for her daughter Cherryl. not to mention Alessa and Eveline characters have similarities too.

Couple notes from the comments: -I didn’t say that rose was 20-30 by the end credits I said around the “year” 2030 and since the game takes place in 2021 it would fit with the line from the guard “you are still a child”. It more than likely mid 2030s since she does look around 15-16 in game. -Also I did indeed mess up the pronunciation of Oswells name. It’s not Oswald as I had originally thought it is Oswell

One video I was looking for. Thanks mate!

Doood!! The last guy with cia outfit escorting rose is ALBERT WESKERR

It might be just me, but when the end scene plays with Rosemary, it reminds my of a life is strange game lol

Probably best dad of all time. Ethan Winters. Rest easy buddy. Rest peacefully.

Its really interesting because even tho Ethan was 100% molded he was still able to keep himself human, have a normal life, and even have a kid. He never mutated either regardless of how badly he got fucked up and even felt pain as a human would. No one else in the series had this kind of reaction to a parasite or virus in the series when they became infected, especially fully infected. The only off thing about ethan was that he had really strong regeneration which made people question that he might have some kind of powers and got infected, but other than that he was fully human. I wish they explained that more, especially considering the entire point of RE 7 was to get a antidote for mia which ended up curing her. I dont get how she was cured AND not killed but ethan wasnt and still remained molded? Maybe because he had no reaction everyone just thought he wasnt infected, BUT mia DID know. Not to mention how Zoe got cured aswell. So there is kind of a plot hole there unless im missing something. Was that catalyst that Ethan died and then became fully molded where as Mia and Zoe were still alive when they got infected? i dont get it because even if Mia and Zoe were still alive, they were infected for so long that surely they would have died from the infection regardless. All of that being said tho, there is a possibility left open to bring Ethan back. The entire plot of Village was Miranda wanting to bring her dead daughter back to life because of the megamycete being able to store consciousness of those who have died as data. She needed Rose to do this. So its possible Rose has the power to bring Ethan back, but she just doesnt know how yet. She obviously has his DNA inside her. But thats up to Capcom.

So basically the other monster we see from the other games is the virus form of the mold that the creator of umbrella has and manipulated, but he mold is the more pure form, creating the vampires, lycans, and the monsters of resident evil village

Damn, thanks a lot man. I was so confused with the RE franchise but you lightened up for me. Great video👍💯

so hearing the baby's full name im really hoping that its a ref to rosemary's baby.

I was literally searching for a video like this a few minutes before you posted it. Perfect timing I guess lol

Even Resident Evil, a video game franchise, that has a plot that is predominantly focused around “viral outbreaks” be like “Ok we’re so done with pandemics, we’re doing werewolves, creepy dolls and vampires now”.

let's talk about the part where they leave the cemetery and they stopped because someone is approaching them.

Imagine if Ethan did team up with Heisenberg. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

well that explains why Ethan can block a giant axe with his fucking hand

I like how this game got a new element to it but still can be explained to an extent

Hey this is too great. Make this a series. You have a talent for this

It's amazing how quick videos are uploading about resident evil village and i love it

Thank you so much. This clears up everything I had a question on

I find it strange that they don't show Ethan's face. I thought they were going to reveal that he is Leon somehow.

These new first person RE games are honestly my favorite Resident Evil games so far. I'm new to the series mostly, only ever played code veronica back then but couldn't even get past the beginning. I've played RE2 remake and Re3 remake but these new ones were great. Ethan was awesome, and I love the twist and that this all ties into the normal RE series. At first I thought re7 was just a game where you get kidnapped by a crazy family. It was, but then it became much more than that, like everyone was being controlled by a bioweapon, and it wasn't actually the familys fault. It was so interesting.

Awesome explanation video! I really love the stories in the Resident Evil games. They're so interesting and RE 8 is no exception.

PERFECT summary. thank you so much for this. i'd watched gaemplays of all the games at different times, and although i was fascinated by the lore, i never really got to fully understand the big picture. this tied it all together for me, and now i'm ready to watch the new village DLCs. once again, thank you so much for this!

RE8 reminds me alot of Digimon Season 1 when the Digi-Destined went up against the Dark Masters. Donna Beneviento = Puppetmon, Mother Miranda / Lady D = Piedmon , Salvatore Moreau = megaseadramon , and Heisenberg = Machinedramon

I don’t want to move to play as rose in the future yet, let’s finish the stories of all of our main characters first since they’re getting kinda old😅and then let’s go to rose

Awesome video mate! I didn’t want to play this game but now I do.

I got spoiled after someone commented the ending in a different video, then I just had to know the full story lol thanks for the vid, it's exactly what I was looking for

No one ever talks about the fake out of Chris Redfeild being a Lycan in all the promotional material

It has me ultra excited to see the kind of gameplay elements they could introduce with Rose's abilities.

Thank you for helping us newers and recapping !!

Thanks man I finally understand the story and it rlly worked on my nerves

Gosh this is the perfect video

Until we find out that twist, I was convinced that health liquid was next gen Neosporin 😂. Makes more sense now in the story. I also wonder if Rose has advanced aging like Evelyn and it’s only been a few years to that end scene.

GOAT explaining man, about to jump into Winters expansion and forgot all the Chris bits and other key things! 💯

Great video thank you for the recap

Nice summary of the the story, was looking for a full explanation of the events, while watching the end credits you book showing you how Mother Miranda started infecting the villagers, she probably promised them immortality as she was was able to revive a girl that died from the Spanish flu.

imagine in RE 9 as you play as Rose you get to spawn molded

You just got a subscription dude I loved this video good job 👍🏻

Solid video! Sometimes when I play these I get a little lost. Love em but dang it throws me off. Lol

Story was sick 🔥 Enjoyed the game

I believe He will still be the main character in the next game there is a 15 year gap but he blew up his whole body takes time to regenerate a whole body from scratch

Subscribed. Love ur analysis for all the games. Give them more depth

great explanation! thanks man

So when Jack said: “Welcome to the family son.” He wasn’t playing!! 😱😱

astonishing video Gingy. I shattered that thumbs up on your video. Continue to keep up the first-rate work.

This video is very good video. Keep going, man!

this video was great! village is the first resident evil game ive become interested in so im very recent to the series and this explains a lot and was extremely helpful in understanding and enjoying the game more :-)

The ending states that "The father's story is over" Which could mean we'll be playing as Rose, or maybe even Mia.

I loved 7 but I gotta say 8 was amazing.. the twist of being a zombie the entire time and still surviving all cuts and damage... pretty awesome game over all.

Just finished the campaign yesterday. Wanted to fill some gaps i had about the story. Thanks for the vid. Very well made. Turned my rainy drive into R.E. Awesomeness

Thank you! Finally i understood the story!

ethan the best man and protagonist :")))) im so sad he is gone now, rip 🥺😭

I never understood Rose's power, like what is it? Why is she the perfect vessel? Because she inherited mold DNA from Ethan and Mia? But why does that make her SUPER MOLD 9000 and not just regular mold powered

great video!

Ethan being a mold explains a lot. That's why he didn't get infected, why he can reattach his hand and it works perfectly, and how chuncks of him missing come back with in minutes. But its amazing that the mold still had a small bit of loyalty to the mold since we saw eveline
