Hel
Goddess of the Dead
Why don't we just say, the entire dialogue of the original RE1 and Revelations 1?
Parker: "Jill, the water is not stopping!"
Duh, like that isn't obvious... Then again, it's Jill he's talking to, the same woman who doesn't even know whether she's in a room or not, so maybe it's best to make sure. Parker has many of those great detective moments, though.
Speaking of the original RE1, an example I've cited many times:
Rebecca: *enters the piano bar* "It's me, Chris!"
Chris: "Is that you, Rebecca?"
And everything that comes after that, both in the original and the remake. I mean, why would you even stand there and play the piano in a situation like theirs? They didn't know it was going to open a secret passage, it's not like they had nothing better to do, and it doesn't even make a difference if you tell Rebecca yes or no when she asks for your permission to practise. The novelization by S. D. Perry, as terrible as it is otherwise, at least tries to justify it somewhat with Chris telling Rebecca to stay in that room for safety purposes, and she starts playing out of boredom as well as to maybe catch the attention of other survivors.
Speaking of the novelizations, they do have their weird moments too. I appreciate the author trying to explain weird in-game situations by giving the characters involved somewhat believable reasons for their behaviour as well as expanding on their back-stories, but why does she have to turn every villain into a megalomaniac rapist? Irons wants to rape Claire, Wesker wants to rape Claire, Alfred has sexual feelings for his sister (and possibly Claire, I don't remember, but wouldn't be surprised), and every other villain fills pages upon pages with monologues about how great they are and how the world is going to see that someday. I wonder if the author was just channelling her own thoughts about her subpar writing at those points?
