Taking the Helicopter Home (Resident Evil/Resident Evil Remake)
While there may be plenty of Resident Evil moments that rely on explosions or terror to stick with players, there are some that gave fans chills with how simple and serene they were.
Key among them is the ending scene from the first game. After surviving a night of excruciating terror, Jill and Chris are riding to safety aboard a helicopter. If they successfully found all their surviving comrades, then they’re sitting right alongside them. If they didn’t, then the copter is unnervingly spacious.
As the sun rises on a new day, all that Jill and Chris are able to show is exhaustion and contemplation. It’s only just sinking in how much they’ve been through, and they can’t help but want to pass out on the spot after surviving so much.
There isn’t even any notable dialogue between the characters here; just the somber silence of two people who survived something insane, and who have no idea where they’re supposed to go from here.
