In a Scale of 1-10, how Evil was Chief Irons? Also which version was better, the original RE2 or in RE2 Remake?

[@A_YouTube_Commenter]

He was around an 8. The fact he was a corrupt cop with a high rank makes him dangerous. Also a major perv,his interest in Sherry and what he was going to do with the Mayor's daughter's corpse are disturbing to say the least.

[@oz88og40]

Chief irons was just a sick individual and it's his fault that the RPD fell down and got all the officers killed

[@afibuffygirl]

He's a 10 for sure. Both versions are great but remake was able to show the creepier side of him.....would love to see a video on Annette Birkin!

While Albert Wesker is remembered for betraying the STARS team, Chief Brian Irons basically betrayed the entire RPD by turning a blind eye to Umbrella's activities and literally hunting down his fellow officers once the outbreak really kicked into high gear.

The RE2 remake version got what he deserved, it was awesome. The version of him in the original game was still evil, but he wasn't quite as vile...perhaps because of the way the game was presented and the voice acting.

Undermined, cut out and feeling undone. In the remake it's just too dumbed-down. Bad guy does bad things because he's bad. Wasn't a fan.

[@balrog9360]

While Brian Irons has been a sadistic, twisted, all-around awful human being since the original, I think they somehow managed to make it even worse in Resident Evil 3 remake but I think not many people may have noticed.. when you go in the hospital and find some message logs you read an invitation to Dr. Nathaniel Baird to some event, and the author of the note also mentions an "after-party" and that he believes Baird prefers brunettes and that he'll "let Irons know". Thing is, why does an all-powerful conglomerate of corrupted people need to ask the chief of police for escorts? Oh but we know Irons runs the city orphanage and he was acting very creepy with Sherry. And suddenly it makes horrifying sense why they'd have to ask Irons for some brunettes.

[@averykevin47]

In the REmake Chief Irons was more open about his psychopathic tendencies giving him more of a sociopath personality. But in the original however his portrayal was more soft spoken and sneaky and you as the player are left suspicious about him because of how creepy he is. in the original, it was subtly implied he was a psychopath while in the remake he just shows up out of nowhere and starts threatening to kill Claire in front of Sherry if she doesn't do what he says. The 1998 version of Chief Irons was a little more of a mystery which builds up suspense for not just the player but for Claire as well and that was more creeper because right away you didn't know what his intentions are and imagine the psychology of what Claire was going through after she met him asking herself "Hmm should I trust him, or do I have my doubts about Chief Irons? " Especially after seeing the corpse of the mayors daughter laid out on his office desk. You could take a hint at what he was about to do that poor girl when he casually says "And to think taxidermy used to be my hobby, but no longer! "

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

Another point to note is that Irons seems to be the one who locked up a bunch of officers in the attic in the station and threatened them with the C4.

This video has pointed out something to me I never realised before, and something of a minor plot hole. Why doesn't Irons kill Claire the moment he sees her? Especially in the original. He's gone mad and is literally hunting down survivors in the RPD to kill them. What is it about Claire when he sees her, in his office, just after he's literally killed someone else, he's suddenly all "I'm sorry"? Even in the remake. He's after Sherry and her pendant. Claire means nothing to him. Why doesn't he just shoot her and take Sherry? Given his character and current state of mind it's unusual he would simply have her tied up instead of just killing her.

Adaptation- : the act or process of changing to better suit a situation. It was never gonna be exactly what we wanted as fans. They never promised it would be. Ill never understand why people get so bent out of shape about interpretations of art. If im wrong correct me but they never said they were gonna shoot straight close to the source material. Especially in terms of casting. And even tho they squeezed a LOT of lore into the film, its not the worst resident evil film on the market

[@anthonysloan2620]

@@covrtni6051 Indeed, which is precisely why the movie doesn't work. There "adaptation" didnt make anything better. It only took what was already great and made it worse. The reason fans are bent out of shape is 1. If you're tryin to appease to new comers, them just write your own stuff. That's whats wrong with the movie industry today and it comes off as more of a cash grab. And 2, because this was supposed to be years in the making. They had already botched RE with all the other bad movies and some would argue bad games, that fans of the game finally deserved to be giving a faithful version of the story. While this had maybe a couple redeeming qualities, taking lore and just sticking them in random places were not one of them. And the actors the choose would be alright if they embodied the spirit of the characters they were supposed to portray. They did none of that, more over they casted characters that already had the look of other characters within the franchise. If you think this movie is better than the other RE titles, hey that's your opinion. But throwing a bunch of references in my face and the story and characters not being down the right way, not THEY'RE way, is not my forte. As i said, they wanna make they're own thing, have at it. But i and other fans of the franchise deserved better. And if they wanted bigger bang for their buck, which obviously they didnt make much back, they should've stuck with story and as you said not try to cram so much in the movie. And hey if you need more clarity, look no further then the video you clicked on. Most people would agree, they've messed the story up enough, isn't it time they actually make it right? Chief Irons was a menace, but in the movie he's portrayed completely different. As well as most other characters.

With all that being said i think it should have been a straight to netflif series tellinh the stories of each game over seasons.

[@anthonysloan2620]

@@covrtni6051 Yeah that argument is kinda poor. The major part you are missing is that the movie just isnt good. And in a perfect world. Like say for instance the world of whoever cares enough to do it right, which hey we do live in that world, cuz people do care about fans of a franchise. Ask anyone who just watched the new Spiderman no way home. Great movie btw. Then we wouldn't be having this discussion. The fact that we have to worry about companies doing it right or doing they're own thing for the sake of money and just slapping a title everyone knows on it, or in this case a whole cosplay felt movie, is what's wrong with hollywood in the first place. And the reason those companies don't make their money back. Facts are just facts when it comes to money. But when it comes to a franchise people love, and i can treat an adaptation on a case by case basis, but after 15 yrs as i said pf already bad RE movies, you gotta admit the fans deserved better on this one. Well i guess you don't have to. But you're right on one thing, it definitely should've been a series. Not sure how it would've done. But aye as one of the people you are referring too as someone who didn't like the movie, im just trying to tell you why. Take that as you must, your opinion is your opinion. And if you like the movie hey cool. But it didnt do well for a reason. Im just telling you why. Cuz if im tripping, then they should have no problem making their budget back. Hey Merry Christmas to you as well.

Where did you get that image of the stars team after they escaped the mansion? I’ve never seen it before.

[@HeYDeVuH]

It was a prelude image that was substituted from the original RE3. Remember that opening for Jill in her apartment, well that was the replacement for that image

[@ocdman3910]

One of the creepiest bastards in the series, he was much better in the original, though

[@perun814]

THIS IS WHAT TRUE EVIL LOOKS LIKE. u might say wesker nicolai etd ..but no.they are just greedy individuals but not evil Chief Irons however is True evil.Because a he is so ordinary. nothing special about him.And because the acts he comits.

[@danielstefanovic2604]

I hate how he was sort of a good guy in the welcome to racoon city movie

[@jamesmickyknight]

A lot of things were screwed in that movie.

[@adamsmoberly]

Original Irons is the best. I like how they have Irons his own place in remake, but he only acts like an asshole. So take in check if remake is the first one you beat (which it was for me), you basically don’t get much of his true evil side in it (even with the file, it’s very basic and many people don’t read the files). But when I played and beat RE2 original, I was really shocked at how bad they did him. He was crazy and evil rather than a asshole who didn’t bad things. He was more evil than most of the monsters and he didn’t have to be likable like Albert, instead being a terrible person. And he only needed one game to leave a mark. Literally a great evil character.

[@andrewmaddox9786]

I think it’s true that he is a “realistic” villain to a degree, but usually you don’t get the whole package like this in real life. It seems like a bit of a stretch that he’d be able to get away with not only bribery, but serial killing, sexual assault, and other corrupt activity. The guy had to have enemies as a public figure and it’s hard to imagine nobody would have taken him down if he were a police chief in real life in the U.S. in 1998. He definitely shares elements of a creepy, gross, corrupt old man that you also see in real life though.

[@rumuelnathanael8043]

Irons is the most realistic evil person in RE. I mean there are lots of evil ppl like him in our own world/real life.

[@moodyowlproductions4287]

Chef irons"ok....I think I may have fucked up here"

[@Otaku348]

I miss Resident Evil before it turned to FPS

[@Xehanort10]

I think the Irons we got is more memorable than the original good injured version of him they planned.

[@HeYDeVuH]

I Agree that this version was much more memorable due to all the Crazy Antics he's done.

Marry Christmas 🎄

Merry Christmas!

[@generaltiberiusxx2884]

Chief irons is the most disgraceful police chief and honestly I don’t think he should’ve ever Police chief especially with all the actions he’s done

[@jonathandoe2316]

I thought he got burst thru as a failed G host. This show an alternate scene or something.

[@jeremyknight9980]

I definitely prefer the RE 2 remake version of Irons, his files from the original game match more with the remake version. the original Irons sounds so cartoonishly evil that I can't take him seriously.

[@Jolis_Parsec]

Honestly, the dude sounds a heckuva lot like Wes Johnson of Oblivion and Fallout fame, so I was surprised that it wasn’t Wes who voiced him in the 90s original. 😂

[@moodyowlproductions4287]

That and he talks what to much about what is going on in the town of raccoon city....

People who are speaking about all cops are corrupeted like they all know so much. I tell you to strap your boots on and show us how its done. Took a good game explanation to a cop hating thread. Most of you wouldnt even pass basic

Lemme guess, you're one of those corrupt cop defenders huh. Stay mad.
