They should've stopped at Part 4?

The thing is after the success of 4, the studios saw an opportunity to milk the franchise, so 5 and 6 got affected by studio executives.

To this date, I don't get why Claire and Chris were cut from Retribution and why Jill and Leon were cut from Final Chapter. It's either Milla Jovovich's two faces that wanted the spotlight to herself or producers were obsessed with her.

Would have preferred none of them was made.

The first and second films had some nice moments that is all but 90% off the rest was awful and again showing how dumb a lot of audience is to lap this trash up.

This is not Resident Evil it should have been branded as something different.
