How Identity Politics Cost Ada Wong Her Voice (Resident Evil 4 Remake)

This video takes a critical look at the controversial recast of Ada Wong, aiming to prove that the change wasn't made due to union issues but ethnicity-based hiring practices.

@MondaysWeekly This is false. Jolene Anderson is Fi-Core, which allows her to work on both union and non-union projects. Source: I asked her on Cameo. Additionally, RE4R wasn't a non-union project. Multiple actors in the cast are union members, including the actors for Leon and Wesker.

@Moerthomore Thank you! I remember seeing that mod here on Twitter a while ago. I’m still not quite sure where the channel is going and whether a mod review would fit, but I’ve added it to the list of video ideas 👍

(Bonus) The article also mentions Jill's physical changes in RE5, which were completely ignored in Death Island.

(1/2) I've seen official Resident Evil accounts, as well as producers, claim multiple times now that Jill had some sort of arc in Death Island. How? Where? She's rude, cold, harsh, and angry from start to finish. In one of her final scenes, she mocks a man's trauma. #ResidentEvil

A new article added to the Resident Evil Portal!

What kind of image do you have of Jill Valentine?
This image may be overturned!
In this issue, we will talk about “Jill Valentine” who is both strong and vulnerable!

(2/2) It's also funny how this article mentions Jill being in "good spirits" after the events of RE5. Does no one see the disconnect between the tone of the email in Revelations 2 and her portrayal in Death Island? #ResidentEvilDeathIsland

@SophiaNarwitz Time to bust out this video again. My favorite part is T.J. Storm's segment at 1:09. https://t.co/2fM9VvU9ld

@kala2k7 Thank you! Yes, what is happening to Jill right now reminds me a lot of what happened to Lara. Classic Lara and original Jill are two of my favorite characters. It's so frustrating to see it happen again.

I tried channeling my frustration and disappointment regarding Jill Valentine's portrayal in Death Island into something constructive. The result is this video, with a quick overview of Jill's history and a look at the worst scenes from the movie. https://t.co/8RgCc72TZc

@CanaryGrayson We waited 14 years for Jill to return to the timeline, just to have the angry, reimagined version show up to the party 😢😭

[Tobi @Tobinoga]

@bio_deathisland With the story set six years after Resident Evil 5, why did you choose to model Jill after her RE 3 Remake appearance instead of her RE 5 design? Given that the movie tackles Jill's trauma, it would have been great to have visual reminders of those events.

@Resident_bio Here's a screenshot from the Blu-Ray version. It's hard to see, but it does indeed say "Umbrella Company" on the video. Great find!

[Tobi @Tobinoga]

@REBHPortal While I'm happy to see Jill back in the game, I can't help but be disappointed by her design. It seems like everything since RE3(R) has never happened and specifically the changes from RE5 are completly ignored. She does not even have the scars from the P30 device 🫤
