Where does William Birkin Rank Amongst some of the most Evil Video game Characters Out there, Let me know your list on the comments below and feel free to share on which Character I should Cover on the next Explaining Evil Episode. Thank You So much for Watching and Much more to come soon!!!

[@Aunty_Krauser]

Alex and Albert Wesker are ones I hope is on the list.

14:20 Annette developed the same paranoia as her husband and believed all the Raccoon City survivors were spies Umbrella had sent in to steal the G-Virus but the only one she was right about was Ada.

[@afibuffygirl]

I really think Birkin is an underrated "villain" in the re franchise

[@HeYDeVuH]

Agreed

[@Cs-cp6vo]

The film is definitely not going to help, but I do think it will be the first step to give him more appreciation

[@silent_stalker3687]

He didn’t seem to have evil intent in most of his instances- very devoted to his in all honesty amazing work. In resident evil 2 he seemed pretty clear, until resident evil 0 and the first game remake added to him. Note they added to him after resident evil code Veronica- which is when they begun to build upon and add to their fan favorite villains. He got the same treatment as Wesker. He’s also been a boss in the umbrella chronicles, and shown in resident evil Outbreak. In resident evil 2 remake they actually kept him alive a bit more than in resident evil 2 classic- albeit he gets less screen time and interaction with the player sadly. He was very connected to the Raccoon city incident and debatably the first victim of it.

[@tearex666]

what underrated ???? c'mon he is well known by RE fans, he's not underrated. the only underrated villain of the RE franchise is locked door logic

[@velladezzy]

​@@tearex666 not much is said about him actually

[@MikeScott55]

I love how OG Birkin was like “come and get it” but remake Birkin is like “I’m not letting you take my toys! They’re MINE!” Either way he goes from b*tch to butch as soon the G virus is implanted.

[@Dinker27]

William's easily one of my favorite villains. Karma for Lisa Trevor, indeed. I wish he wasn't so underrated, because he sets up most of the overarching plot. He's definitely not what I call a tragic villain, but Sherry went through a lot of shit because of both her parents. That's a suffering I imagine which would break most people.

[@JackSquatch]

It's kinda ironic that he's upset about his life's work getting stolen from him, when he, himself, was involved in the assassination of his former mentor and stole his work.

[@Dinker27]

William Birkin is a bit of an intriguing figure. His only "close" friend being Albert Wesker and creating G the way that he did. You could say he became his life's work so to speak.

Birkin and Wesker are my fave RE characters.

[@jeremyknight9980]

As someone who just became a fan of this series because of Village this was very interesting. After Village I decided to go look at both the originals and remakes of RE 2 and 3 because I remember my older brother used to play them on the Gamecube when I was a kid but I was too scared to care about the story in the games. And I thought Mother Miranda and Lady D were bad.

[@HeYDeVuH]

Glad that you got into the series recently, there is so much info and lore in all these games that it may be overwhelming at times. Anyway thank you so much for watching!!!

+Jeremy Knight Welcome aboard. I got into the franchise with Resident Evil 2 REmake in late 2019. I also played the originals and the Re3 REmake.

[@Akaritomi]

Lisa could have been the "Alice" of the games. The only human to bond successfully with the viruses inside her. Sadly she was too young and never once thought "maybe I should use this new strength to kill these guys and escape"

[@Xehanort10]

6:54 Since going by RE6 Sherry found out about her dad being the G-Virus monster that was stalking and later infected her she probably found out about her dad and Wesker's experimentation on Lisa and was sickened by it.

[@EXEcosmoman20]

Sherry birkin"oh god....dad....how could you....why"

[@Asher-mw3zo]

Carla Radames used Sherry’s strain of the G-Virus and mixed it with a strain of the T-Veronica Virus to create the C-Virus in RE6

[@daranbrock7891]

I'd love an actual Netflix or Amazon Prime Resident Evil series diving into these backstories with a compelling plot and character arcs but I doubt it will ever come to fruition.

[@HeYDeVuH]

Yes that would be great, I just hope that they actually do that in the future

[@jousephcustodio3455]

Remember Wesker warned Birking to leave umbrella facility and the city on RE ZERO he the only friend he got

[@kingbeef66]

Karma really hit William Birkin hard. Not only did he experienced a similar fate by being gunned down like Marcus was by Umbrella troops and started a new pandemic in his rampage, but he became a similar misshapen and miserable creature like Lisa Trevor was.

[@AmouriShow]

At first time when we played the game when we were young we thought the name of the game about zombies we kill, but after we grownup we realized that why they call it Resident Evil game , it's not about the zombies (Victims) it's all about evils humans who made this chaos for immortality and greatness and repetition! This is why resident evil it's unique game from any other game in the world 🌎

[@renamon5658]

In the original william knocked a test tube off the table Which caused hunk and his men to shoot him in the remake william pulled a gun on them. I kinda wished they kept the original way he got shot

[@uncertaintea8330]

Also when he gets shot for knocking off the sample, the operatives just comment to stop shooting because "you might hit the sample". Bringing Birkin in alive is no priority in the original.

[@randomtask155]

I also really don't like the way the remake handled Ada's "death" in the original you can examine her gun and tell she had no intention of ever shooting Leon you cant technically find this out in the remake. also I don't like how Leon just drops the G virus sample. in the original he sees just how much death and destruction it has caused around him and throws it in anger. i think this scene was handled much better in the original as well.

[@hihosh1]

@@randomtask155 I think Ada's appearance and acting in the remake scene for her death are much better, but I agree about the gun and Leon... though I think this is a more realistic reaction. When someone you love dies in front of your eyes there's no shouting or anger, just a feeling of loss hence the reason he just drops it

[@Justfred.440]

*RIP Trevor family and William Birkin*

[@HeYDeVuH]

That's true, it was a sad storyline that happened to their family

[@danielkrajewski4181]

Great vid, great villain. Tho I can't help but notice how they made him a lot less interesting in RE2make. The original Birkin was a cold, calculated, brilliant scientist who still had a human side - whilst buried in his work, had a wife and daughter, both seemed to deeply care for him. I feel like even the true purpose of his life's work - G-virus, was somehow retconned - it was supposed to turn humans into immortal superbeings. If the conversion failed, however, it would result in mutating into mindless, instinct-driven monsters. So it made much more sense for him to inject it when fatally wounded, he took a desperate gamble and lost his humanity when it failed. In the RE2make, he does only it to exact revenge, not giving a damn about the consequences for his family or the world for that matter. Because hey, G is his creation.

[@onceortwiceooh]

Sorry this is super late reply looking at your original comments date but that’s been part of my issue with the remakes. For every character they flesh out to make a much more interesting character, there are others that left a strong impression in the past that weren’t as interesting in the remake. I wish it was more consistent, they can build up characters while not reducing from others. But I’ve accepted that’s expected with the remakes, and despite this I still enjoy them as another option

[@Asher-mw3zo]

How Sherry Birkin lost her parents reminds me of Zoe Baker losing her parents in RE7. Both their fathers were infected by some mutagenic pathogen. The main difference was their mothers. Annette didn’t get infected by the G-Virus, while Marguerite got infected with the Mutamycete, along with Jack. So, overall, Sherry’s and Zoe’s stories have some similarities, but are still quite different.

I have to admit I DO feel partly sorry for William despite the fact that he used his talents for the forces of evil; nobody should have to do what he did. It just goes to show that big-time corporations feel that even the most gifted people are nothing more than expendable pawns on their life-sized chessboard and can be easily captured; he was doomed the moment he was hired by those ass holes.

[@HeYDeVuH]

Well said, he could have used his expertise on doing good instead of creating the G virus. Imagine if that would have spread like the T virus

Anyone else getting some kind of screen tearing in this video moving from top to bottom ?

[@HeYDeVuH]

I added the effect to give an old VHS style look. Though I'll be removing from future videos

[@arisurec]

@@HeYDeVuH OH! NOW I UNDERSTAND! Thanks for clearing that up!

[@HeYDeVuH]

@@arisurec No worries, thank you for still watching

@@HeYDeVuH Of course! Your content is soooo good for Resident Evil fans and new people entering the fandom looking to learn the history and lore of the franchise.

Then i create the P-virus, it turns everybody infected into a pimp and they slap the fuck out of your G-virus mutants.

Could you do an “Explaining Evil” videos about the other founders of Umbrella, James Marcus and Edward Ashford?

[@KheranSmith]

✨ Nice 😇👍

i hate commercials !!!

[@stephenwoods74]

Great video . But the bar constantly going down the screen is quite off putting. Was that deliberate?

[@HeYDeVuH]

Thank You so much and yes it was intentional, I wanted to give the video an old VHS type of feel with that constant bar glitch and the overall grainy look.

[@stephenwoods74]

@@HeYDeVuH ah fair enough I see. Well I love these type of videos. Keep up the great work. Who is next? Or will I just need to wait and see 👀

[@metalbutterflygaming1544]

a lot of things about William really pissed me off and I hated him for the evil things he did, especially to Lisa.
