Character complaints

The most iconic piece of a franchise is the characters. And the Resident Evil fandom has plenty of complaints about them. Very stupid complaints at that.

Not enough characters!
One stupid point some people try to make is they are sick of seeing the same characters through out the series, and that CAPCOM should make some new characters to play as lead the series. That it's ridiculous characters would survive for so long. So the solution would be introduce new people!

This is a completely invalid point. First off, what do main characters do? THEY REAPPEAR. ~ Shocking, isn't it? ~ But who is the main character? People also seem to ignore that Resident Evil is unique in that it has always had multiple main characters. So do you really want more main characters?

Not to mention every single game introduces a brand new cast of characters and only brings relatively a few returning ones. So this complained can't apply to not enough minor characters.

But if the issue is there's not enough minor character who reappear, then that begs the question, wouldn't that not make them minor? If not, then what's even the point of having a more reoccurring character stay minor?

Too many characters!
This sorta partially gets canceled out by the multiple main character thing, buuuut anyway,

The complaint goes there's always too many minor and one-time characters being introduced. While yes, there are many characters put in at a time, this rarely interrupts the narrative. The mass of characters so far hasn't caused confusion in the story or likely will.

Nor is the problem they are out of place.

This guy needs to come back!

Albert Wesker
Capcom confirmed he's dead.

Unrelated to Wesker now, but just to cover it, there's also this "We don't know for sure that he's dead" thing to talk about.

Characters are 2-dimensional
Really?

A lot of people fail to realize characters are not failing to be complex, but they are written exactly to be obvious or easy to understand.

The story of Resident Evil now is more about the relationships between organizations or entities and their motivations.

This is guy is AWESOME
I don't want to be a buzz kill, even if liking a character is innocent, I do want to say some character aren't as awesome as they are made out to be.

For example, HUNK. We never really see what he does to survive his mission. We're not even sure why he survived Birkin's attack. Is he cool? Yes. Rule of cool. He's cool in that he's written that way. Silent, mysterious, cold, yet cool.

If you like a character, be aware about what's to like about them.
