The Central "Jill Valentine" Discussion Topic

[Bertha]

But at least Leon's cheesy lines had variety. Not the same line every time.

Yeah a variety....of staleness. XD The entire theme of the game is about partnership...it's only natural they are going to hammer on that subject every chance they get.

[Vector]

Yeah, umm...the theme of RE5 was partnership, in case anyone didn't notice. Chris and Sheva, Chris and Jill, Excella and Wesker(or so she tried)...did you people not see the cutscene on the plane, Spoiler:

show spoiler

right as Sheva was about to fall? Chris got a flashback to Jill risking her life to save his ass. Why? Because the look on Sheva's face said "it's okay, I'm gonna let go and kill him, partner." He got a reminder what being partners with someone is all about. That's when he reached out and saved her.

We were making fun of the theme.

No way...I get it now.

"I thought they were fuckbuddies?"
"Wesker only cares about himself."

"Looks like Irving has a fuckbuddy."

"Ready fuckbuddy?"
"Locked and loaded"

"I've just had an extreme fuck-buddy!"

You know, it occurs to me that they did Jill's hair blonde for several reasons. One was to make it harder for people to guess it was Jill, as that did throw people for a long time. Some people did guess but the majority did think Sherry.

Then, if you look at Jill and Wesker next to each other, with similar hair and similar clothes it helps distance Jill from Chris, makes her look more like she's working with Wesker. Makes her look more like Wesker. It makes her obviously different to the Jill we knew before.

When I first saw that Jill was blonde I was sure they were gonna tie it into Wesker being blonde, having something to do with the super virus, and in turn maybe to Krauser being blonde. But that really doesn't work anymore since Jill had a separate virus/"performance enhancer". They could tie it in if they wanted I suppose, but I doubt they will.

Here's a thought: Krauser is one of the Wesker children who survived the virus and changed his name

[BLSR1]

Did anyone else think that Jill looks a lot like Elza in her catsuit?

[Mr. Kennedy]

I was reminded of Samus Aran.

you know Jill being blonde also goes with the all RE blondes are evil thing.

seriously just about every blonde in RE is evil somehow, or related to an evil character.

anyways, the only reason i didn't like Jill blonde was cause after years of waiting to see her in HD, she's pale and blonde and doesn't really look like the Jill we know. which was a slight disappointment. but i know she will be back to normal in RE6.

[ValentineKnight]

...If she's in RE6 you mean

[missvalentine]

...If she's in RE6 you mean

RE6, RE7, whatever one she has her next appearance in.

im hoping RE6 cause i really want to follow up on how Jill and Chris are going after RE5.

[ValentineKnight]

I dunno dude all this talk of a "reboot" has got me wondering.

[BadWolfX]

After playing through with a friend up to just after the Jill/Wesker fight, I have to say that I'm....pleased with the story. I don't know if there's more to come but I'm happy with what I've seen. I wish there was a bit more....emotion in the scene after she'd been cured but that could be coming up, I don't know.

The second half of the battle was the part that I really enjoyed. Restraining her and then trying to pull the device off her chest was really...tragic I felt. It just felt so brutal to me.

I don't see why there's been so much fuss over her appearence though, I think she looks fine. The blonde ponytail suits her, I don't know why so many people have been all pissy over it. It's a visual way of saying that this isn't the Jill Valentine that we used to know so get to business and cure her.

[Mr. Spencer]

More I look at Jill's battlesuit, the more it reminds me of Zone of the Enders.
