The reason why Ethan can't regrow lost limbs and instead has to reattach them, is most likely because he never reached that stage of Mold infection before he killed Eveline.

i don't think Ethan has ever "regrown" anything, reattach sure, so i think his healing factor is limited to if he still has access to the severed part, since his fingers are now sitting in a Lycan stomach he can't reattach the missing fingers.

What about his heart?

[@Daboy804]

@@willieb.hardigan6402 Spoiler. don’t think he ever “regrew” his heart. Mold just allowed him to live a while without it. I think that’s y he eventually dies. If he got his heart and put it back inside he might have lived.

I literally came here to say this. Glad someone else knew better. Lol

[@Fullmoon1857]

well you also got to think he has never given it enough time to grow back and I have a theory that sense with the lycan bite sense they're more of a stronger version of the mold it clashed with his healing abilities. or that it takes a lot longer for him to regenerate limbs sense he was infected with Eveline's mold which wasn't the most "pure" version of it considering that the game takes place within a 24hr time period. though that's just what I think and what I think isn't cannon so.

I understand why some people might not like Ethan but I personally find him pretty interesting. He is no Leon, Chris, Jill or Claire but he didn't need to be. What makes his character so interesting is that he is just a normal person, not a cop or a soldier and all he wants was to have a happy family. He doesn't want anything to do with bioweapons and Village just proved he would do anything to protect his family. The only thing I hate about his character is how Capcom was forcing to NOT show his face through the story. Why you gotta do his sacrifice like that?

[@ignitedmergo]

Honestly, I feel like Ethan is somewhat used to the pain. Not just that, but Jack was toying with him, and he anticipated the dismemberment. So, naturally he processed the pain a lot easier. In lady D’s case, he didn’t see it coming for even a second, so the shock and adrenaline probably kept him in check long enough to just go about his day.

Capcom did Ethan incredible justice in Village. Even though I actually still did quite like him in RE7, he still had a lot of shoes to fill as a protagonist in the Resident Evil world and he certainly did in Village. I was really saddened by his demise and I hope Rose will continue his legacy in the next instalment. I also cannot wait for upcoming DLC for Village. The franchise means the world to me and I trust in Capcom to continue in the successful path they've been taking since RE7 in 2017 and never repeat mistakes of the past (looking at you RE5/6 and Revelations).

i believe there are an possible answer for that immersion: it was clear from the start that ethan in RE7 was essentially like a gordon freeman character. given the fact he barely speaks so hiding his face would be a priorty in order of immersion for the playas and this carried over to RE8 despite the fact ethan is more line with DS2/3 issac clarke than gordon freeman

Spencer's the main founder, the one who started everything, and he gets five minutes of screen time and then dies? And turning Wesker into a cheap Bond villain was so lame and such a waste of his potential. And Umbrella was basically taken down completely off screen, another waste of potential. And they just ditch all their old characters except Chris and leave a bunch of loose ends there. But as long as they're making money, they don't care about much else.

Your pinky being so important is something I learned from a Yakuza documentary. The reason you have to cut off your pinky if you fuck up is because that makes it far more difficult to hold a weapon, particularly a sword.

Ethan probably has the biggest set of balls in the RE franchise. No military training. No police training. Hell hadn’t even shot a gun before 7.

I think the biggest thing is Ethan's "death" was an unnecessary retcon from 8. He was simply infected in 7 and that's all they needed to stay with. "Welcome to the family, son" is just that: welcoming to the family. Like Eveline wanted. Jack says more than once throughout the game that he will kill Ethan, and Eveline says she will make him one of them as well. Just goes against "he actually died." They could have at least said he died on the boat rather than saying the beginning of the game. Also, the mold definitely reached his brain in 7 because he hallucinates about mid game and I would say he's actually already infected before Mia ends up chopping him up. It just didn't take effect yet, or it did with the lack of blood loss from his arm. He pretty much got infected when he stepped in the house.

Ethan cant regenerate external body parts only internal ones like his heart that's why his finger didn't grow back he has to attach the lost body part himself for it to be fixed thanks kai great vid love u man but is it me or you're not making content anymore, come on we miss you make more vids

[@iamyuheismi920]

6:30 Ethan's sexual performance was so good that Miranda was content on just staying with him until she got bored

[@tg.tyrant2302_]

The reason Ethan doesn't get damaged it's because he's Resident Evil's cameraman

[@HiBuddyyyyyy]

I played village the other day and the end made me cry a bit. My mum then said ‘you are crying over mushrooms’ to me.

[@alanwakeish]

The situations that Ethan and James find themselves in maybe similar, but their personality's are very different.

[@CutestDemon]

think it was explained in 8 why he couldnt regrow, apart from not having the higher stages of the mold, his mold is old and stale, finally dying off when the giant mass was destroyed. Which is also why Lady D notes that he doesnt have 'fresh' blood, despite being right there, alive.

[@habibpines]

you missed one : he's an absolute GigaChad

[@itzSNGonly]

Btw ethan is actually revealed in steam screenshots for resident evil biohazard.... The screen shot of family dinner you can see him in that picture

[@itzSNGonly]

Though its not much but its something that capcom actually gave us

[@khfreak5531]

I straight up cried at the end of this game. I already knew it was going to happen because of spoilers. But it hit so darn hard. Finding out that he’s been a mold zombie since re7 didn’t surprise me. The re-attaching of body parts was a little too over the top. Even with people just assuming it was game logic. I knew he had to be infected. Just didn’t know he was straight up gone since the beginning. The mold just cataloged his consciousness and essentially made a copy of him within his own body. Almost like it wasn’t really even him anymore, but the mold just simply imitating a memory of him? But since the mold actually just absorbs the consciousness of others. It could also be said that the mold absorbed his consciousness and rebuilt his body to the point where he could still use and exist within it. He basically became mold but was still able to use his body since it was still in pretty good shape. Despite being unalived.

[@Rasaff90]

Ethan became one of my favorite Resident Evil characters. Thank you for the facts about him :)

[@sipylessnewacc3911]

I assumed that Ethan wasn’t fully infected with the mold so he possessed the ability of healing and limb reattachments but not the regenerative ability of growing new limbs to replace dismembered parts

[@themilkman6969]

I live for RE8, it’s literally just a combination of 4 and 7; both of which I absolutely love.

[@IGNACIORIGINAL]

*The only character in each game who loses a hand*

[@ant._.221]

I want to see Ethan in the saw movies from how much pain he endured

[@Joshi_the_Yoshi]

Ethan has taken military training after the events of Resident Evil 7, which is why he holds on to the magazine he swaps for another one when you reload a handgun in Resident Evil Village rather than getting rid of it if the gun isn't empty completely.

[@johnnyboy9231]

I would actually love to see 25 facts about James Sunderland silent Hill 2

[@smoker5989]

Now that i think about it Ethan and James clothes are very similar too

[@ojaya15966]

Another instance of Ethan Winter's training is when he falls into the water at Heseignbergs. You'll notice he crosses his arms before hitting the water. This is a survival technique used to protect your limbs

[@felixblue4525]

i didnt play 7 but capcom made me fell in love with Ethan in 8

[@ReyneAutumn]

I think the reason why Ethan's fingers didn't regrow is because the bandages are getting in the way, not giving any space for cells to grow. The reason is that ethan was able to walk some hours after miranda ripped out his heart. His heart most likely regenerated within that time.

[@Hiihtopipa]

I loved the fact that they changed Ethans animations because Chris gave him military combat training.

[@dumpster9048]

I really really really hope we get to see him again in future resident evil games

[@jllIIII]

Ethans hand went through it all bro 💀💀💀

[@sao0]

So, I've recently rewatched heavy rain gameplay and accidentally stumbled upon the fact that the first main character you play as, Ethan Mars, wears the same clothes as Ethan Winters: a black hoodie, denim jeans and beige/brown coat. Plus, their names are the same too cause they're both named Ethan (obviously). Then I realized more similarities: in heavy rain Ethan's main goal is to find and save his son, same as Ethan Winters who has to find and save his daughter. Then, I realized once again, whereas Winters loses his left pinky and ring fingers, Mars loses his left pinky as well during gameplay. From their similar names, outfits, missing limbs and their final missions to save their children, I refuse to believe these are all just coincidences, but maybe they r and am just looking too into it.. okay that's it.

[@jeremyseretz2434]

1:17, This would also explain why his body goes into shock along with the change of color

[@gabluke1943]

I do think that Ethan not recognizing Mia as Miranda was probably explained in Chris' notes towards the end. I believe it was something along the lines of "Miranda probably thought it would be easier to control Rose if she looked more like Mia since they were mother and daughter"? If that's the case that probably would explain why Miranda didn't escape with Rose when she had all those opportunities because she wanted to bond more with her so that controlling her would be easier.

[@fslayer1290]

Ethan’s story is so tragic. I almost cried for him at the end of Village. Mia is at fault for her family’s suffering.

[@emmas3111]

I feel like not many people touch on how Mia's lies cause so much trouble.

[@WatcherXel]

I agree. Mia should have been arrested.

[@trlycrlym7768]

6:52 another fact, ethan reaches for hot soup with his bare hand. What was he planning on doing??? Scooping it with his hand??

[@CranberryBaby393]

He's Ethan friggin winters, if he wants to bare hand boiling hot soup then fuck it, let him I say.

[@purotheamazed8844]

Just like fuck it yeet

[@ghostie1345]

My friend suggested he could be dipping a finger in to taste it but … hes reaching for that soup alright

[@mohdadeeb1829]

Some people say Chris is chad. Some say Leon. They forgot Ethan is the only one who got laid.

[@LeadingMole058]

How about 25 facts on Neo Umbrella or the BSAA?

[@megamanmegamanmegamanmegam8725]

Ethan Winters went from being just a normal guy to being a mold guy that save his own wife and daughter

[@danieldevito6380]

I will NEVER forget the moment in RE 7 when Mia chainsaws his hand off, just to have it STAPLED on in the next scene. I remember thinking "We're not in Raccoon City anymore".

[@braydeecordero1557]

Isn't it weird that in Outlast, Trager cuts off Miles' right index finger and his left ring finger... yet those are the least important fingers to grip things! 🤔 (Trager didn't know that for sure)

[@MeatSteve]

4:18 “WITTINESS PROTECTION FOR WHAT?!”

[@kagetsuki23]

The reason why Ethan could resist Eveline brainwashing was probably because she aged and her power were weaker than when she infected the Bakers.

[@Shadoefax760]

I think Ethan has been disquised deliberately from the very first planning of RE7, I think he's Wesker on some level. I think he's a Wesker child or a Wesker clone. He was superhuman before stepping on the Baker property.

[@mabs9503]

Guys he called the magazine a clip.

[@soritsude]

In RE7, you can see Ethan throws away the magazine albeit being empty but in RE8 he saves the magazine (Which is called a Tactical Reload). It's due to Ethan going through military training from Chris after the RE7 incident.

[@RealMrLazy]

1:28 i never thought or realised that, but that is smart on the devs part.

[@jmaguire2232]

I love the twist in RE8. The way Ethan was able to reattach limbs in 7 was a dead giveaway but because it’s a game the player is likely to attribute it to video game logic and think nothing of it. You couldn’t really do that with another medium.

[@Parthornax]

The only resident evil character to genuinely and consistently make me laugh. Thanks a lot “resident evil fans” you effectively killed my 2nd favorite resident evil character.

[@rhyanlumilay6317]

Who knows, Ada could be in a DLC wandering around the village to steal some piece of the Megamycete and fortunately she stumble upon Ethan confronting Mother Miranda for the last time with the bomb, Ethan actually did not push the bomb instead it's Ada since he was so weak and to also let the evidence of her being in there be buried so she let the place be blown. Ada's a spy so technically she might even encounter Ethan through out the campaign so she might have an idea who he was.

[@danielfranz6560]

from a game perspective, that could work, but more importantly from a writing perspective, I feel that would take away from Ethan's sacrifice, and that would just be terrible IMO.

[@frankieghost9902]

2:35 buddy looks HAUNTED

[@davestevens2908]

Not gonna lie I'm gonna miss ethan. Just a normal guy stuck in the resident evil universe just like the rest of us.

[@hankjbit-]

you can see his mouth in the ship when Evelyn takes Ethan away to the lowest level of the ship. in the flashbacks in RE7 when you return to the place when Mia grabs Ethan's hand and twists it. but it is vague, though you can see it a little.

[@fireong6376]

I mean sure, on a surface-level Ethan does share those similarities with James from Silent Hill 2. But I always like to compare Ethan more to Harry from SH1, what with both being fighting dads hellbent on saving their daughters who have gone missing in a town/village ruled by some kind of cult. And both end up losing their lives down the road as a result of their actions.

[@TheGamingCamel22]

I love these facts about characters videos, keep it up man! Much love
