I'm replaying Resident Evil VII: Biohazard for my professional blog, and I am aghast at how stupid Ethan is at first.
He arrives at this derelict farm in the ass-crack of Louisiana, with nothing but this cryptic email from his missing wife that only reads: Baker Farm. Dulvey, Louisiana. Come get me. THAT'S SOME CRYPTIC SILENT HILL TYPE BULLSHIT! Granted, it's the early 2000s, and texting isn't mainstream yet, but in an actual emergency, YOU PICK UP THE PHONE AND MAKE A CALL!
Sending an email isn't an emergency communication; that's how you lead an idiot into a trap. Scammers have been doing that shit since the mid 90's!
Ethan sees abandoned vehicles, a rotting house, and a wreath made out of rotting cows and buzz saws, and thinks to himself, "Damn this place is weird..." AND KEEPS FUCKING GOING.
He sees an abandoned kitchen with dinner still on the table, rotting, trash everywhere, and a videotape of a guy getting murdered, and only thinks to himself, "Jesus! That's dark!" Before crawling into the very same wall, and down the very same ladder, HE JUST WATCHED A GUY GET MURDERED DOING!!
Ethan lacks common sense like every dumb blonde in horror movies. Ethan Winters is the dumb blonde of Resident Evil, change my mind.
