25 Facts about William Birkin 

If we think as the new tissue as cancerous or tumorous, that would mean that Birkin would have benefited from the G-virus before taking damage. Had he injected himself before being shot he may have gained rapid regeneration like his daughter but the damage he took was massive so G opted for making him grow again from using the new cells as the new body and Birkin became a simple host destined to be devoured little by little by the new G-Birkin.

I highly agree. Especially in moments where his voice goes from monster to more human and back. It's been a while since I've done a play through of the original RE2 but if I remember, there wasn't as much of a struggle. More like "Oh please help me. Well I'm a monster now. SHERRY!!!"

I also like that they didn’t make him loose a lot of his scenes, like they did to Nemesis in 3 and Chief Irons (literally made him a bad guy rather than a deranged psychopath; I played RE2 Remake Before the original, since I never played it and honestly found Irons scarier than he was in too, because it showed his fucked up mind in more than one way).

Willie-G 😆

I forget which movie it was but the villain injects himself with the g virus and IMMEDIATELY mutates. Which I didn't care for. William only mutated where his body had trauma and mutates more and more as we cause more damage to him.

@@bobthedopeman7327 you are referring to the first CGI movie Degeneration. Yeah it was RE2 but done kinda poorly compared to the original it was based off of.

how is someone who has like 6 lines of dialog. an interesting character?

@@ashyoshicharizard3949 Did you read the comment or just the first 5 words?

@@samhoned8277 no

​@@ashyoshicharizard3949Yes, deal with it

alfred and irons were both better than him

Kai mentioned this in a another video

The voice actor of William birkin in original re1 also played mordred in goosebumps episode a night on terror tower

The most distracting part of the REmake

I think your also forgetting Kevin Silverstein who voices HUNK

@@KazzKobb I think only 3 times we must face nemesis, in clock tower, water disposal, and rail canon, the others are optional, cmiiw

@@KazzKobb You only really face off against Nemesis 3 times. The other times you find him are optional.

@@theonlyethanhiroshiki I played, what I mean is we MUST face nemesis, not optional

@@KazzKobb nemesis isn't in RE2 noob.

@@dakotajourdan2526 he technically is lore wise, since the events of re2 and 3 are happening at the same time.

Eh. I guess. 🤔

Unluckily for him he didn't get to see his daughter become the fast healing superhuman being he intended all G-Virus hosts to be when he created it and not horny hungry killer monsters.

Idk I got 3 daughters and I can say with out a doubt even if they would maybe get super powers I’m not doing anything to them it’s horrible xD

When you realise he tried to reproduce with his daughter😳

He wasn't really a monster before tho, William heaving something to do with the orphanage just happened on the remake, in the original one (the cannon one too) he doesn't have anything to do with the orphanage

True

I always thought it was the crocodile or a hunter's eye

It could be that they made that scene before hand and ended up changing his eye later on in development (maybe even forgetting what it looked like).

@@adamsmoberly that's pretty valid, re2 went through a lot of different phases, the game we got was very different from 1.5 for sure

If you take too long in the G5 fight, he/it will spit out these G-Zombies. They’re identical to crawling zombies, gameplay wise.

When performing it's signature OHK you can see the human head scream in terror. I've noticed it in RE:R2's Raid Mode, but I think it was on the original revelations both on Story and Raid too.

Why not just buy it if you already had the system?

@@amyschildgamerlive4519 I couldn't find it for sale anywhere at the time. So I kept going to Hollywood Video

@@rafaelmauricio8000 ah makes sense. Make do with what ya have available.

Not a lot of people know this due to the game being famously bad but Umbrella Corps is a prequel to 7 setting up Blue Umbrella and their Commander is HEAVILY implied to be Wesker himself, he even has voiced lines.

I'd say he's alive alright never count a guy who wears sunglasses at night out!😎

You got it wrong. Re2r along with re3r are now canon. It goes: zero,re1r,re2r,re3r and so on. For example,re4 is now canon til re4 remake comes out. After that re4 remake takes its place as canon. Re3 remake made the ground for it with nemesis parasite

@@ghostofwar5430 it literally can't be as zero, outbreak and 5 can't work with the remakes

@@ghostofwar5430 I repeat, it is a reimagination just like re3r,re2r and re3r will never be canonical

I like to think that Resident Evil is now split into two universes. The “original” universe with all the classic games and the “remake” universe, which includes the RE1-3 remakes. They’re both technically canon, but not canon to each other. Understand?

Why can't they do that with alyson court for Claire.. . Sigh

@@emmafrost16 because they don’t have to

He's spittin facts tho

It wasn't believable, which made it hilarious! 😂👍👍👍

I don't think he'd regain his sentience if he had evolved more. By the time we see him in the 3rd form, he's already long gone.

Kinda interesting that the virus has its own mind and just used william as a husk to grow and develop but then mutated to attempt to seperate itself from him. So William wanted to seperate from the monster because he hoped he would turn out how Sherry did, but the monster wanted to seperate from Birkin as well, unfortunately they were both stuck with each other.

If I remember correctly, Las Plagas was an ancient parasite that used Williams research to turn it into the mind controlling zombifying parasite we see in RE4 and RE5.

Yeah Las Plagas existed centuries before Umbrella was even formed as a company. Chronologically Las Plagas the Mould and the Progenitor Virus are the first infectious things in the RE universe since the Plagas were used by the Los Illuminados cult for centuries until the first Salazar castellan knowing how evil the cult was buried the parasites under his castle where they stayed until centuries later when Saddler came along. The megamycete had probably been in that cave for years when a suicidal Miranda, grieving went in there and found it and it infected her. I don't think there was ever a way to resurrect Eva but the mould affected Miranda's mind, drove her insane and made her believe there was. And before Spencer, Marcus, Edward and their researchers discovered Progenitor in the 1960's African tribesmen in Kijuju ate the flower the virus was extracted from and whoever survived became king.

Interesting. After I play RE Village, I got the impression that the Mold was where everything started. Miranda was over a hundred years old and I believe she discovered the Mold in 1919. She also worked with Spencer and he left her to create the Umbrella Corporation. Also, I thought Umbrella created the Las Plagas virus? It’s been years since I’ve played RE 4 lol.

I just commented this above. Las Plagas has nothing to do with the T or G virus other than that they are both in the RE franchise. AFAIK.

Defo wanna see this 😂

I wouldn't be surprised, given how similar the Bandersnatches are to Birkin.

I'm all up for some RE ASMR lol
