While critics and purists may lament lost opportunities, the collection’s longevity and financial success underscore a broader truth: in franchise cinema, coherence with source material often takes a backseat to recognizable branding and sustained spectacle. For future studies of video game adaptations, the Resident Evil collection remains a primary case study in how to diverge—for better or worse—without collapsing.
