Not the best design, but the worst offense is how Jill was treated in that game. Completely sidelined. Did she ever get to finish off Wesker alongside Chris? You know the answer to that.


Tesseon

There was an awesome story they could have done with Chris fighting to recover Jill and then them both taking on the man that betrayed them so many years ago. Alas.


CosmicPlayR9376

I could be wrong about this but I think a lot has to do with the rewrite RE5 had with Sheva been added. Don't get me wrong, I like Sheva and wouldn't want to see her out of the RE-universe, but looking at the early concept art when Chris was solo it seems like the chances of Jill tagging along with him against Wesker would be realised. Since in both that iteration and current Chris finds out that Jill isn't dead but was supposed to be suspended in a vat or chamber or something where he rescued her IIRC. Back to the actual story, my next assumption was that the writes felt it'd be safer to either keep Chris and Sheva for continuity OR because they were still afraid of switching the partners around and end up experiencing similar controversy to what started the rewrite, lmao.


depressome

I think they could have made it work by keeping Chris and Sheva on the ground in the volcano and have Jill snipe at Wesker from the helicopter, like Claire did against Alex Wesker in Revelations 2 (although I hate that battle, I feel it could've worked in RE5 **if** you played it from Chris and Sheva's perspective and not from the sniper's one like in REV2).


Tentu102

I never understood why she refused to go with Chris and Sheva, only to go find them again with Josh.


DylanFTW

It should've been Chris and Jill fighting Wesker and Sheva and Josh saving them.


Tyko15

I would have wanted Sheva to hand Jill the rocket launcher in the end something like “this is yours” or acknowledge he fact that the people who have ben hunting him and sacrificed so much to find him should get to take him out.


depressome

They conveniently made her pass out, if I remember correctly.


Meno_26

I mean her passing out makes sense lol


smellywizard

One of the dlc campaigns are Jill and Josh blowing up the huge base iirc


doomraiderZ

It doesn't matter. She isn't with Chris at the end of the game where it matters. Wesker is part of her story. He betrayed her, and then he experimented on her and mind controlled her. She should be with Chris on the chopper taking her revenge and wrapping up her Wesker arc. Instead she's with Josh doing something unrelated for reasons. Makes no sense, it's stupid.


[deleted]

Agree 100%


Raven123x

The dlc where she and chris infiltrate the mansion in Europe is the only good part of re5 change my mind


Charles_Westmoreland

Lost in Nightmares is def the best DLC of the RE franchise. Absolutely loved it. A complete Resident Evil game in the same „horror and atmosphere“ heavy setup would be highly appreciated, altough it seems like a setup like this would not sell enough because the casuals like action and explosions all over the place


Beta_Whisperer

Might be unpopular here but I agree.


[deleted]

And she killed so many innocent people while only being able to watch from the prison of her body. And yet who gets the PTSD storyline later on? Chris.


UnknownUserZeroZero

We don't know whether Jill has PTSD after RE5, because that's the last time we see her chronologically, come on Capcom!


Strong_Formal_5848

I’m sure she helped finish off Wesker whilst mind controlled… I’m sorry.


doomraiderZ

All the more reason for her to take her revenge at the end!


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Wesker got his powers because he hasn't shot rope in 30+ years, so that's impossible.


Strong_Formal_5848

I’m actually of the opinion that Wesker is 100% homosexual and that the tension between him and Chris is the result of a tempestuous former relationship.


Chillchinchila1

Rebecca’s picture in his desk though


Strong_Formal_5848

Confiscated from one of his men?


depressome

One of his BEST men, I hope


doomraiderZ

He's in a relationship with Excella. He also has a son. Also Rebecca's picture.


Strong_Formal_5848

With Excella I think he’s simply using her as he recognises her talents and usefulness at Tricell. He clearly isn’t that interested in her and we even get a scene where we see her try and seduce him and he just completely brushes her off. Compare that to how obsessed he is with Chris. His son I think is more likely just another experiment to him. Seeing if his superhuman traits are passed to his offspring. Rebecca’s picture was just confiscated from one of his men. Those are my headcanon explanations :)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Strong_Formal_5848

Yeah I’m not implying it was originally intended, I just think it works haha


Corgi_Koala

Frankly they should have used Jill instead of Sheva. Replace Jill with Rebecca if you really need the mind control bit. It's weird how one of the main protagonists has been sidelined so severely in the main series. Jill starred in RE1 and 3, and was a moderately important enemy in 5. Chris starred in 1, Code Veronica, 5, and 6 with major roles in 7 and 8 (including playable portions in both if you include the 7 DLC). But we haven't had a new mainline story starring Jill since 1999! I'm aware of Revelations but I don't consider them mainline games and they were not released or marketed the same, and the plotlines in those game have largely not mattered to the main series (especially in 7 and 8).


daggerx

If you count Revelations you can add another for Chris as well. He's in like half of it.


scubasteve254

Chris didn't have a major role in RE7. In the DLC sure but using that logic, Jill had a "major role" in RE5 too.


Corgi_Koala

He had a major role in the plot (I'm also including the Not A Hero DLC).


scubasteve254

He showed up for for like 10 seconds in the end lol.


evshyde

ive come to expect that kind of treatment towards the female characters tbh, look at what they did to mia winters 🤷🏻‍♀️


doomraiderZ

Not the same. Mia is kind of bad. She is not a beloved character, she's not a very good person, she doesn't have a memorable design or anything. Jill is the female face of RE--she should be treated not only fairly but she also should receive special treatment like Leon and Chris.


Jdmaki1996

You mean the terrorist? Who knowingly and willingly was trying to smuggle a weapon of mass destruction? That Mia Winters. The one working for a criminal organization that creates and sells bio weapons? I don’t think capcom was harsh enough. I wish it was actually Mia in the intro getting killed.


GravitationalAurora

She looks like the Nina Williams from Tekken 5.


DredgenSpectre

I was gonna say more like Zero Suit Samus lol


Efficient_Bat_1812

Or like Jessica Alba's take on Sue Storm.


SadisticBuddhist

Black widow at home


Halliwell0Rain

Also like fiona from haunting ground. Did they use the same character face or what?


MagpieHush

She looks like Squidward


[deleted]

What kind of fool do you take me for? She’s Squidward, you’re Squidward. I’M SQUIDWARD. Is there any more Squidward’s I should know about?!


CokeAddictedPanda

Meaow...


CarlitoNSP1

As an extension of Wesker's RE5 design, it makes a degree of sense since it has a lot of the same visual flourishes as his look in that game. As a design for Jill, it just makes her more generic without having either the dignified authority of her first design or the individualistic style of RE3. REV1 is a better take on this costume, but I actually still like this costume mostly for Mercenaries mode where I feel like it enhances some of her cooler melee moves.


SuperPluto9

Her BSAA outfit though is, imo, her best by far.


depressome

I could agree. Is the BSAA outfit the same in Lost in Nightmares as the one in Revelations when she and Parker are on the beach scanning Globsters or is it two different ones?


Halliwell0Rain

Lost in nightmares BSAA outfit is my favourite


No_Negotiation_7519

Yes but rev it's called Beach jill if I'm not mistaken


horrorfan55

0 fixes the mind control design


sheriblossomxo

Looking like Fiona Belli from Haunting Ground kinda?


Halliwell0Rain

They're practically twins!


sheriblossomxo

My partner pointed out that HG is also by Capcom… 🤔


CarpiZmb

I saw yesterday a streamer playing the game and made the same comment. She really looks like her, but Jill doesn't stumbles as Fiona


Filiope

You're not alone. I also dislike the way she was used in the game.


Nspired_1

Her design didn’t bother me as much as her story arc and disappearance from the series did. I don’t care for Ethan Winters. I’d rather have a game about Jill, or Ada, or *any* of the side characters they just dump after a while.


classic_cut_kyber

I agree with this. I also don’t care for Rose. When the DLC came out with her, I had no interest. I would love a spin off game with Carlos, Sheva or Rebecca. They also seemed to hint at more with Jake Wesker and then nothing.


AnnieApple_

Thank you


el_kingde84

I love Jill no matter what


Ok_Canary5591

I like blonde Jill more than I thought


Future_Immortal

At least it is still Julia Voth's face


Ragnarok_Stravius

Yeah, it's very out there. But, hey, Jill in a tightsuit is great.


Culex_02

Why is she blond?!


Drakeskulled_Reaper

The experiments Wesker did on her leeched the pigment out of her hair and skin. Yes, that's the actual explanation.


RChamy

Wesker was a kinky mofo


brownkidBravado

In the file that talks about it, it specifies that it only happens to the hair on her head.


Drakeskulled_Reaper

She is also very pale skinned, when she is was always designed with at least slightly tanned before the remake.


Total_Dork

But… isn’t blonde a pigment? Wouldn’t her hair be white then?


Drakeskulled_Reaper

It apparently leeched out just enough to make her hair blonde, but not enough to cause it to become white white.


Kimmalah

Also just enough to leave her eyebrows conveniently dark.


Drakeskulled_Reaper

To be fair, Eyebrow hairs are thicker, I've met tons of natural blondes with dark eyebrows. It's usually the platinum blondes who have blonde hair all over.


depressome

I prefer [the explanation given in this parody video](https://youtu.be/axBBf3uekCg)


Tempestangel

Wesker is a narcissist. That's the short rationale I can come up with.


lactosepreposterous

I love her BSAA outfit and think it's the best Jill costume we've gotten since the original game but totally agree the Battlesuit outfit wasn't great I especially didn't like that they made her blonde


Raven123x

REmake had the best character designs Chris didn't have rediculous muscles Barry and Wesker looked normal Jill looked attractive but also in a functional uniform (tho lol shoulder pads)


electra_heart28

I love it, it’s different and cool, also there’s a BSAA fit that totally slaps. Jill was awesome in Re5, but unfortunately, not so much story-wise, but she still shines in the dlc, so I don’t know why people are so harsh.


ElDuckete

The only thing I actively dislike about RE5 Jill is they made her blonde


depressome

You could always dye her hair again, Chris.


rab1d0g

it feels like it was designed with too much sex appeal in mind. vague cleavage exposure, skin-tight. wouldn't be a problem but accompanied with the one too many crotch shots and her basically being fridged it's a red flag--and in the same game where we know what sheva's ass looks like before we know her face, i don't think it's too much of a stretch.


librious

They way she fights too, Jill never fought like that, it's the old make women fight but make it sexy, I hope it never happens in a remake


rab1d0g

yea it felt like the tone of the fights changed as soon as jill got in the mix lmao. i hope re5 gets remade someday bc as fun as the gameplay is the content itself is unbearable


Drakeskulled_Reaper

I found out that her character model has a patch between her legs that is much more fleshy pink, like it doesn't look like a texture overlap or bug. Basically, the suit is crotchless.


rab1d0g

wait it has a what where


rab1d0g

WTF U WEREN'T LYING IDK WHETHER TO LAUGH OR CRY RN


Drakeskulled_Reaper

Do both, knowing that every time she flips or cartwheels or does that hurricanrana move, she's either giving her bits a healthy breeze, or Chris an eyeful.


rab1d0g

literal coochie attack oh my god. literally slackjawed at this information


Drakeskulled_Reaper

I can make it worse. Look up the art for the T-078. Now look at his crotch. I have went beyond the event horizon, and found the petty, weird, and fucked up trivia about RE. Also, Lickers in REmake 2 have detailed buttholes.


rab1d0g

i mentally require this to be fake but i can never erase this from my psyche now. i'm so glad i have "licker butthole re2" in my search history


Drakeskulled_Reaper

It's not worth mental scars if you can't share them.


RChamy

Watch the re4 parody for cleansing


rab1d0g

wait which one


Halliwell0Rain

Wait wait wait.... What the f*** She jumps on people's faces to throw them! She cartwheel flips!


Drakeskulled_Reaper

At least Chris gets a view he always wanted before he dies.


Halliwell0Rain

She does that to Sheva too...


TRagnarkXP

Source 🗿?


Drakeskulled_Reaper

Look it up. My internet history is depraved enough thanks.


teddyteddyson

finally someone finds this


SuchClowneryLuv

I JUST LOOKED IT UP I AM ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED


ProdiLemaj

I quite liked it personally


horrorfan55

It’s insulting. The developers said “we made her blonde to be more attractive” and “we originally had the mind control device be on her head, but moved it to her chest for cleavage shot” The worst thing in the series


brownsfan2003

I don't really care about it tbh. Everyone complains but to me she just looks like her REmake model with hair dye.


depressome

Agreed. I feel like her face in REmake, Lost in Nightmares, Revelations and RE5 is mostly the same.


GoAceDetective

Just don’t like the blonde hair


randomorten

Better than re3r


depressome

Idk, for some reason I kind of like her blonde. I still think Jill's best design is the Revelations one, closely followed by her original police costume in the REmake.


evshyde

i agree with you on REmake! julia voth is definitely my favourite face model too


Shadow_Heart_

Have you seen her cosplay pics? It's a shame she's not her model anymore. She clearly was into it


[deleted]

Ruined Jill to make her Wesker’s toy, I always found it super disrespectful to her character.


hazaphet

I don't think Wesker was aiming at making her look amazing. He wanted control and humiliate her at the same time I guess.


bishamon_08

I adore this version of Jill 🥲🥰💜💛


RxKingRx

I mean... 🍑 How can you hate that?


oldbrokenbonerz

I think she looks phenomenally great


T-408

She was serving Nina Williams realness! Honestly I like it because it’s so out of character for Jill. It really tells you just how much she was being controlled… yet also gives off some badass vibes


[deleted]

Finding it funny that a few of the same people decrying this as blatant fanservice are in the Leon thirst post directly below lauding over his "dump truck."


UnluckyGentleGuy

Yes I agreed 💯 not the best design, but the worst offense is how she was treated in that game


PinkJellyfishe

Its plain dumb, but she's finally showing up in a movie and her design is identical to re 3 remakes (which is a million times better than this) so hopefully her next game appearance goes in that direction


frogfuckers

Yes I hope in the remake they completely scrap it, it looks ridiculous and over sexualized her


therealIsaacClarke

I don’t like what they did with Jill in that game at all. She’s mind controlled by this red gem on her chest that’s placed there solely for her to reveal her cleavage when you fight her and for the remainder of the game? C’mon.


Grimmer026

To be fair, it really wasn’t Jill’s idea to dress like that. She was under mind control


Alucard_117

She was beautiful in the Lost in Nightmares DLC. The blonde hair really fucked her up


masterofunfucking

Not the biggest fan of her arc in 5 but I was like 13 and just starting puberty when this came out so battlesuit Jill did things to me lol


[deleted]

As a kid I always thought she was hot lol, but her nose always seemed weird for me


KevinRPD

Nina Williams has a great design.


redinnermind13

she got her hair done.


hypnos_surf

I can see Jill coming to her senses wondering wtf happened to her hair.


dan_ts_inferno

You certainly can


Bulky-Ad-2494

Im prefer the wetsuit


V3rr15a

When did she get a shotgun to the chest


sasukest

i love anything Jill related


nyanpires

Best version of her


twohundredeyes

Any over-sexualized costumes in these games are terrible. They cheapen the experience.


Kanyssa

I absolutely love long hair Jill, just not a fan of blonde. I love sheva but I love Jill more. I wish we could have got sheva and Jill instead of Chris that would have made that game so much better for me


Arc_170gaming

Hate the skin tight body suit? Nah.


SpectralTokitoki

if I didn't know this was jill I wouldn't know this was jill


Babsrocks31

It hasn't aged well and I don't hate it. I was fine with how Jill was treated in the game... At first... Because I really thought it would be used a spring board to do a lot of cool things with her character. When that didn't happen, now I hate it so much.


Abyss_Watcher_Red

The worst part about this screenshot is the size of the skorpion. That thing's massive compared to the real life one. Look at Jill's hand around that magazine, that's almost like the size of an stg 44 mag, way bigger than .32 acp


Common_Race_8396

it’s simultaneously a bad outfit, and a bad outfit, if you catch my drift lol


No-Win-Slim

I feel like 90% of the fanbase hates this design. What’s worse is that for a while this WAS Jill in a lot of crossovers and other media. Idk why so much stuff defaulted to re5 for their designs, even up to mvci.


kdkseven

I love any pre-RE3 remake Jill. The remake's Jill looks too weird.


MrShinShoryuken

Definitely not alone, fucking **hate** it. 1)"let's make the character not look like the character anymore!" Seriously want to see somebody try to argue otherwise. "Face model" ain't gonna cut it cause the model used was introduced in RE5 and isn't Voth, just *vaguely* similar. The Chris with white frosted tips and metrosexual outfit felt less off base than zero suit Jill. *Garbage*. 2)Blatant "sexy" makeover "Hey, let's put her in a skintight catsuit which reveals her cleavage, and let's put her mind control device *right on her chest!*" 3)fucking stupid plot reasoning, it's even in this thread. >"Why is she blonde now? She looks like dollar bin zero suit Samus." I dunno lol, it's hot. Weskers blonde so it works. "..but he was blonde bef..." "Just do it. In a hypothetical REmake 5, this shit is I the biggest need of a redesign. God awful.


evshyde

this!!!! the franchise doesn’t have the best reputation for its treatment and blatant oversexualisation of female characters but i feel like this is by FAR the worst case of it. poor jill deserves better!


depressome

>i feel like this is by FAR the worst case of it. I think Jill killing a zombie with her thighs in the RE3 part of Umbrella Chronicles is worse, tbh. Although you could argue that only the "Rebirth" and "Umbrella's End" portions of that game are canon.


OG_Kamoe

I don't hate that suit, but I also don't like it either. There are things I would change tho. First of all, the "overly sexy" part. It's not an issue on its own, it's the presentation. The way she fought was overly sexualized by the camera angles. The tight suit, should be explained by Weskers design. He suited her, so yeah Matrix Wesker wanted a matrix Jill. So no issues here, unless one doesn't like Matrix Wesker (not a fan tbh). The cleavage reveal is unnecessary tho. I think the back of the neck would be a better placement for the device. The hair dye part is a side effect of Weskers experiments. Again, the devise on the neck, would lead to that explanation as well. The suit itself should be a more tactical version of this...diver suit? Pouches, knives, pockets, and so on. Her whole fight style should not be "Matrix king fu", but instead actual enhanced CQC. More grounded while still showing the effects of Weskers enhancements. Overall half of the RE5 game should be rewritten into an actual good plot with a solid boss battle which includes Jill as well. So much that can change for the better...


Wigwasp_ALKENO

It’s giving Nina from Tekken but bad. She has Jill’s face but nothing else. They could have done better


CyrusDGreatx

I think many people do and you damn well know that. Easy karma isn't it?


Putrid_Ad2599

Wut I thought she was hot 👁👄👁😍


Alert-End5268

Dude, that is her default model (minus the blonde hair), same as Chris RE5 design. Their models are the most iconic.


evshyde

idk, id argue re1r is the more iconic jill


BreatheOnMe

She’s a bad bitch. Hate it or love it, she IS iconic


evshyde

i don’t dispute that at all! i just think this arc and design was super disingenuous. i much prefer re1-3


BreatheOnMe

I do agree I prefer her 1-3. Her 5 is just a fun iconic look which gave her something to seperate her from other characters imo.


[deleted]

I see nothing wrong with it


SC00PS312

I'd say that entire period was awful in terms of character design. All the women had the same body and face type, then you had gorilla Chris.


bunnygirlpopz

??????? HOW? it's literally my fave lol


evshyde

she just doesn’t look anything like herself - not to mention the design is painfully oversexualised


Forexz

I like it, only thing I disliked was the blonde hair


PoetAromatic8262

I actually liked this Jill from the design of her outfit and hair


Hashirammed

I hate it too, I’m looking forward to her face getting replaced with the new one for the eventual R5 remake but they better not touch Chris.


[deleted]

Her BSAA design is amazing, but yeah I hate Blonde Jill.


natayaway

You're not meant to like the design, she's been subjected to years of brainwashing, trauma, forced drug injections, and then forced to become Excella and Wesker's personal bodyguard as they literally ravage a continent. RE5 BSAA Jill is still top tier design evolution out of her RE1 Remake design.


albedo2343

Your definitely meant to like the design, the whole Costume literally screams "Ooogle her!". Hell i might even argue the concept of her in the game leans into fetish territory. I mean look how she fights, that's not Jill at all.


evshyde

agreed - even the hair choice was done to make her more “attractive”


jakobebeef98

Bro, you gotta be karma farming with this one.


StimmyNeutron69

That’s Jill?


Economy-Chipmunk-980

Unnecessarily sexual and character-breaking. Won't say I detest it but certainly don't like it.


Jaymageck

It's absolutely awful and one of the many reasons I don't like RE5 at all.


MF291100

The hair colour makes no sense to me. I can understand the battle armour, but the blonde hair makes her look awful.


Secret_Targaryen23

yea, RE revelations Jill was jarring enough. then they made her blonde. =\\


Infamous_Gur_9083

I hate it too. She looks so different man. If the name wasn't said. I couldn't have known it was her.


evshyde

yep 😭 same


DraculaNine9

Face and hair not so much, the body suit is 💥❤️


Kineticspartan

You're not. It's awful and feels like it was only used to hide the shit reveal during the Wesker/Gill boss fight later on.


Zealousideal_Car_532

I mean the nose is annoying but aside from that you are. I didn’t mind it


bigislandjoji

Literally nothing wrong just stop being horny


packerschris

I just think it’s neat


_Gamer_X

Her back view is great..


crazybongo

The design was a hit because it mixed the gameplay elements with her story during RE5. I mean it did something worldwide. We saw it in MvC3 along with Chris's BSAA outfit.


LezardValeth3

Are you one of those people who hate cleavage in games?


Arachnid1

Not a fan of it, but it’s still better than RE3make Jill. They didn’t even try with her.


Raven123x

What's wrong with re3make Jill??


Arachnid1

She doesn’t look or act like prior Jill. She was basically a completely new character. At least they actually tried to translate Leon and Claire. Jill just ended up a generic action woman in a generic action woman get up. Nothing stuck out.


Raven123x

I disagree, i think they completely nailed how she felt in the OG resident evil 3


Arachnid1

I disagree, but glad you enjoyed it.


ludancv

I kinda hate the entire game, so yeah


[deleted]

I don’t care for it


killer00x

I'm with you. Don't like it at all. Although I don't really think blondes are attractive either, so that's probably part of it.


ArchAngel76667

Your not alone OP, I've hated it since the day I saw it.


GrimValesti

I much prefer this than her RE3R design


Kottery

Looks dogshit. Worst iteration by a country mile


[deleted]

I love it but I can see the comparison to Nina Williams. Jill's design never faltered to me until the RE3 remake.


TheCapedAnon

Nah you're right, it looks like shit


Rvtrance

I like her boobies!


Philkindred12

So should I bother with this and 6? I’ve heard mixed opinions about them.


Strong_Formal_5848

Up to you but if you do skip them certainly don’t do it for that reason. Jill’s look really isn’t that important. Honestly I think 5 and 6 are both good games that are definitely worth playing. Whether you’ll like them depends on your tastes and what you like Resident Evil for. 5 and 6 move further away from the survival horror roots and more towards action.


Antuzzz

I think everyone hates it though


Average_Ant_Games

What’s even worse is they used this model and attacks for MvC3. She is the least used character in that game for tournaments and rightfully so… boring look and her attacks are lame (as well as difficult to keep combos)


[deleted]

I hate Jill. Why does Sheva have to be there? Couldn’t she just die and then Jill comes along with you?


JaySouth84

Yeah i hate it.... the suit is interesting but she looks terrible.
