I wonder, about the Ashfords...
This may be just me trying to give Anderson too much credit, even though I was heavily disappointed to see him retcon the whole backstory of Dr. Ashford creating the T-Virus and Anti-Virus for Angela...with not only another 4 movies after that and no canon explanation of what happened to her, but basically writing in a VERY similar set of characters in their place, I almost wonder if there was some legal reason for basically just scrubbing them from the series. What if they were so disappointed with how Apocalypse turned out (there are parts of it I like, but its EASILY the weakest movie of the series), that they didn't allow their likenesses to be used in any of the sequels? I don't know the legailty of if they'd be able to do that, or how they even felt about their appearances in the movie, this is all just speculation. It would make it a LITTLE more excuseable on Anderson's part of his last-minute throw-in of "Dr. Marcus and Alicia".
