He treats Ethan like a civilian meanwhile he singlehandedly took down the baker family besides getting some help from Chris with Lucas and eveline. And it’s even worse in this game.

Somehow I think the reason Miranda let Ethan wander around, because she wants Ethan to eliminate all her childern. Bcs first she already aware of Heisenberg betrayal and she can't deal it herself, second bcs if Eva her real daughter really reborn other devoted childern like Donna will envy her and probably take an extreme step to murder Eva to win back Miranda's hearth. Thats why when all of the lords die, Miranda finaly reveal herself to Ethan

[@IsaacClodfelter]

Sounds likely She had all these failed test subjects laying around, might as well have the guy chasing you take them out for you.

[@andraakmalmaulidani1793]

I just thought something too, what if The Duke working together with Miranda for this plan and work to observe Ethan behaviour and keep him on track the whole time. Bcs he was the one who introduce the 4 lords and mark them as Ethan enemy (by saying they had rose body) without mentioning Miranda. Even he was the one who shows Ethan where to put those Rose body part (And undirectly makes Ethan complete the ceremony who he tries hard to mess up)

[@andraakmalmaulidani1793]

I also thought that too maybe its a bit a strech but, somehow they're agreement was broken. My theory was because Miranda kills Ethan. If Im not mistaken The Duke was friendly with the villagers and he the one provide information of the outer worlds for them. So my theory is The Duke agree to use Ethan as a weapon to kill other lord if she spare Ethan life or much more Winther's family life, including Mia and Rose aka Eva. (he also gained profit for all of those crystal and hidden treasure laying around) But Miranda found Ethan worth much more for the trouble and killed him, therefore broke the agreement. Bcs of that The Duke who saw all of Ethan regeneration ability bring him right to Miranda. I mean if he really that kind to Ethan he can just pinpoint Miranda's place and finish the game much sooner

[@sparda9060]

Theres many reasons why Miranda did what she did in manipulating Ethan. She also did it because she wants to get rid of the failed experiments that were failed hosts for Eve's new body. She can't just outright kill them but using Ethan to do it otherwise like you said. There is a multifaceted plan and reason why Mirand did what she did in manipulating Ethan. Theres just sooo many reasons why she did it lol.

[@Luigi64real]

One thing that I haven't seen anyone mention is the fact that Eva was never infected so she wasn't recorded by the megamysete, meaning that it was impossible for Miranda to revive her daughter. This likely means she was just being used, I'm going to guess that there will be another twist in RE9 like the Ethan was dead all along one in 8. It'll be the ceremony was actually successful and Rose was left alive because the megamysete will be able to spread itself using her. I think this is why the guy at the end calls her Evaline, it's foreshadowing how she's actually a dangerous BOW.

[@Niemaminnegonicka]

The Megamycete has a record of knowledge that goes back centuries possibly since dawn of time. Regardless of infection or not. That is how Miranda knows too much without possibly going to any formal education. Question is, how deep the Megamycete reach? Is it just in that part of the world (Eastern Europe)? Or has roots all over the planet?

I had always assumed that, because Eva was buried there, the roots of the mutamycete had broken down her body and absorbed all her information.

Religion kills. Hahah but yiah she formed a cult and thought a virus was a gift and a spell would bring her back a daughter when spirits aren't what cause any of the things they have or do. If I had to guess she believed terring rose apart would empty her vessel and so she can put her daughters spirit in but in reality it's the same baby and the fact rose had regenerate powers is why she can survive being torn apart the rest is just her wasting her power putting her back together when she unnecessarily tore her apart believing in her spirituality.

So my own theory is that the Megamycete saw how venerable her mind was, that she was willing to end her own life grief-stricken by the death of her daughter and it drew her into the cave so it could corrupt her already fragile mental state. It giving her all that wisdom was it's own way to take a fragile mind and well make her evil. When the mold revived Ethan he already had such a strong mind it couldn't corrupt him, he was already determined to save his wife. I think it gave him knowledge of well everything he needed to survive and save his wife.

I like to say my observersion here: 1. She is Evil Counterpart: To Ethan. They're both heavily infected with the mold and trying to save their daughters. The main difference lies in the fact that Ethan is an ultimately good man who sacrifices himself for the sake of his wife and daughter while Miranda sacrifices everyone else, including her entire village and her four adopted children, just to get her own child back. Their love for their respective children also showcases this. While Miranda spent the past century trying to get her daughter back, it's clear this is more for her own sake than Eva's. By contrast, Ethan consigns himself to death if it means Rose's safety and actually comes Back from the Dead only due to his selfless love for her. 2. Hypocrisy:In the final battle, Miranda says that Ethan should understand what its like to lose a child and why she's doing what she's doing. Of course, she's ignoring the fact that she's the reason one who seperated him from his child in the first place just to fulfill her selfish desires. Miranda says everything she did was for the sake of her daughter, but it's pretty obvious for both Ethan and the player that she pretty much infected an entire village and murdered dozens of innocent people and put many others through absolute hell purely out of selfishness and spite. Even her dialogue during the final battle reeks of self-pity.

[@mrkaa5221]

An aspect that the two games do focus a lot on is family, everything being driven by family. Eveline wanting to make a family forming what happened in RE7, Ethan wanting to save his family for both RE7 and 8, the MegaMycthe recording everyone it takes in forming a communal "Family". It does form this idea that possibly what the mold fully develops is a continuous family of characters to make as its own. Even considering Miranda being made a "Mother" to the other infected, the lord's becoming childlike towards her in their own ways. Heisenberg being the rebellious kid. Alcina being the very devoted child who gets angry when the attention and care is not on her. Salvadore being the odd one out, the one who feels lonely and only can hope that Mother will care for them. Donna being a reminiscent one but also the kid who eggs on her siblings to fight so a new memory/family activity could be made.

In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, Ethan sounds much more emotional than his American English counterpart. He sounds properly sad/scared/angry when the situation calls for it. The Duke also sounds warmer, more charismatic. Heisenberg sounds more flamboyant. Mia's voice has less of an passive-aggressive edge during the house scene. Moreau speaks more clearly (also, his writing isn't nearly as childish in Portuguese). Everyone else sounds similar, as far as I can remember.

I might be speculating a bit too much but many aspects of Miranda remind me of Morrigan, A Celtic shapeshifting goddess that was actually 3 sisters merged into one being, Heavily associated with the imagery of crows, A hag and a few other things that could be associated with RE 8, Funnily enough Miranda takes upon 3 women's forms during RE 8 which could credit my theory to some extent, I might be reaching a bit far but a lot of things just click.

It'd seem silly to think the powers Miranda had and Ethan as well, would not also be apart of the originator as well, much less the Baker father who literally would never stay dead.

[@sparda9060]

As long as Ethan and rose and mia are alive, the megamycete lives through them as its a hivemind being.

[@steamboshow606]

The reason Miranda helped Ethan by leading him on and having him get the flasks from the lords isn't because she wanted to test him. In her boss fight she says he fulfilled his purpose by awakening the Megamycete and "killing her children". She had the lords keep the flasks so Ethan would have to defeat her children to obtain them. She wanted them all dead so she could be alone with Eva and used Ethan to do it.

[@v4ni11aciti3s]

Mother Miranda is a grieving mother overcome by power, she got too consumed by it that she basically neglected and abused her "fake children". Donna/Angie were traumatized even more by Miranda. Moreau wants Miranda to be his actual mother or at least let Miranda view Moreau as her child. Heisenberg didn't even want to be a monster-cyborg-creature thing and I'm not sure about Lady D. I'm not sympathizing w Miranda, but I think she should've taken better care of her fake children/vessels for Eva WAYYYY better then she did in the game.

[@ez9566]

Maybe the megamycete used Miranda the whole time to get rose and implant itself into her. I always wondered why Miranda was vulnerable at the end and why her powers suddenly left her and this would be an explanation for that. When Ethan was dead, he talked to Evelyn, wich in my opinion means that her mind is also like saved within the mold, thus Ethan and rosee wich would also explain this cutscene. Maybe this is also why Rose didnt turn into Eva

[@cloberlobster2276]

She might be one of the most powerful characters in the RE series, if she fought with her full power (since her powers were leaving her during the boss fight) she could possibly infect the entire world, using the collective consciousness off all those infected to learn and become more volotile and dangerous.

When you take Miranda’s whole story into account it’s actually really sad, she’s just a grieving mother who couldn’t come to terms of her daughters death and was willing to do anything to get her back :( granted stealing a child from another family wasn’t the way to solve this but it’s still sad to think she just wanted her daughter back

[@silenthero2795]

He didn't tell him because he fears information might leak out to other organizations including Miranda. One of his team asked how did Miranda know of Rose's existence despite hiding them for 3 years. Someone suggested "one birdy mold" might have told her. There are loads of organizations that wanted a piece of Rose that even Chris is getting suspicious of the BSAA itself. Do note that only Chris and his rogue Blue Umbrella team rescued Ethan, Mia and Zoe so no one knew what really happened in RE7. Only when he realized that Ethan is truly a good guy despite being a BOW mold person that he regretted this decision.

Would be kind of freaky to find out that the Megamycete lives on within Rose, and as such she is a living compendium of all the people it has copied.

24:30 "Saving the minds" So that means Lady Dimitrescu, Dona Beneviento, Moreau and Heisenberg will have a chance at redemption.

From a biological standpoint, I don't understand why Miranda doesnt simply birth a child of her own. I would think her own children would have a better chance of being a suitable vessel for Eva.

Anyone else kind of wish we had a timeline for when each of the Lords was experimented on and more about their lives beforehand? All we know is that Mother Miranda was infected/discovered the megamycete in later 1919 or early 1920 (as Eva died in August 1919 and that Miranda tried to die due to exposure, whether that be due to extreme cold or heat is up for debate), Lady D was 44 when it happened and that it was before 1958 (she was also still considered a noble while Donna was a step below nobility. The other two seemed to have lost theirs at some point in their ancestry considering they lived in a reservoir and factory compared to the castle and mansion of Lady D and Donna), and that Donna was infected after 1996 (as that is when Claudia died, who was most likely her daughter or younger sister) and that another relative of hers (possibly an aunt) was infected but died during the process (Bernadette B, died at 21). Edit: Changed Bernadette from being a sister to an aunt, as she died in the 1950s while Donna was likely born between 1966 and 1976

Knowing him, he probably hightailed it out of the village and surrounding area after he dropped off Ethan for the final showdown. I mean, there isn't much more he could have done after saving him.

[@travisbaez8430]

Considering he survives any explosions you throw at him during the game and is perceived to be invincible, whether by design, or as an accidental means to not kill the only merchant, I doubt that explosion finished him off. Also worth noting is his friendship with the Merchant from 4. No matter how many times you kill him, he is magically at a new location to sell Leon stuff. One could infer that his regenerative properties were more in line with the Cudou parasite and less like the Las Plagas that RE4 centers around. If they indeed know one another, it's not a stretch to think the RE4 merchant had access to it and was indeed infected with it.

Lords*

[@chaiguy2930]

I see what they were going for with Mother Miranda. The four houses and lords are meant to represent different types of horror, the Dimitrescu House is slasher horror, House Beneviento is psychological horror, House Moreau is body horror, and finally House Heisenberg is industrial horror. However, Miranda represents the Cult Horror genre, a person or group worshipped with absolute authority and has total control over the village and even the lords that rule it. They believe she is a goddess, or a savior to them and do everything she asks, which can be unsettling as we see them praying to her and setting up shrines around the town in her honor and devotion. She also spurs parental fears of child abduction and kidnapping, a very real threat to almost every parent in the world, much more emphasized when she has a whole village doing her bidding and see it as the holy thing to do. Of course Lady D and the rest steal the show but I still think Miranda is a very ominous figure lurking in the game, with her crow imagery and seraphic features. Excellent character design as she looks the most normal out of all of them, yet she is the most monstrous and freakish as she will destroy anything in her way to get what she wants.

[@F1areon]

Probably Miranda ALSO represents the more realistic horror of a parent outliving their kid.
