Where does Mother Miranda Rank against the Other Villains in the Resident Evil Series? Also Do you think some of her decisions during the game ruined her character? 0:00 Intro 1:12 Early Character Development and Design 2:30 Miranda's Early Life 4:11 Becoming Mother Miranda 6:26 Mother Miranda's Experimentations 7:36 Mother Miranda & Oswell E. Spencer 11:43 Eveline and The Mold 13:32 Mother Miranda in Resident Evil Village 20:17 Mother Miranda & Rose Winters 23:19 Mother Miranda Vs Ethan Winters 28:18 Mother Miranda's Questionable Decisions 32:39 Conclusion
I'd say that she probably thinks that the physical and mental manifestation of her daughter would overtake the vessels body and mind if she ever used a male vessel. Hence why she still conducts experiments on male subjects
I always thought that her replacing Mia and living with Ethan maybe started off as a way to kidnap Rose and / or study her but then she stayed bc by doing that she could be a mother again, that would make her character deeper considering she basically almost causes an apocalypse on earth just for the sake of having her daughter back. She wants to be a mother again so she prolongs her stay with Ethan and pretends to be the mother of her chosen vessel just to feel that way again, a feeling so strong she even delays her ultimate plan just to feel it a little longer.
I could see that. I also wonder if she enjoyed living with Ethan a bit under the mask of his wife. She mentions being lonely for years so it could have felt nice being seen in the same way Ethan sees his wife.
Wouldn't it be a nice twist if when Miranda was killed she was reunited with her daughter in the megamycete... Some kind of sick happy ending that was right in front of her all along.
Her daughter never entered the megamycete, though. She died of the bird flu. All of her plans and experiments to have her daughter revived was doomed to failure based on that simple precept.
@@mellowyello1478 But she put her dead body within the megamycete thereby copying the genetic details of her daughter. It wouldn't be her daughter but considering the daughter died as a child it would be like a sister or twin of her original daughter. Something I'm sure Miranda would be happy to live with as a consolation
Personally I humor myself by believing that the reason she didn't just take rose when she was impersonating as Mia was because she got too into the role of being a wife and mother that she started to like having a true family. Lol this is just me though and it makes me laugh.
Actually that's a good point, maybe in a way she wanted to have that normal family life and once she was inside the Winters household she got a taste of what it was like to have a daughter again and with a full family
@@discordxibalba4599 He did didn't he. Though imagine they did play that out and Miranda was there for weeks. Then later on Ethan finds out it was Miranda all along, that would have been a very messy situation
@@jackepong6300 Just saying: Rose is platin-blonde. That's not Ethan's dirty-blonde hair and Mia is dark haired. Dear Fanfiction-Writers, we all know the mother! ;)
If history is anything to go by court will favor Miranda simply because she is a woman, but on other hand Ethan has better environment for Rose to grow up, steady house, income, and probably lives not long distance from school either.
I think the plothole of Miranda's big plan was, her Eva is just a... baby Eva's memory successfully implanted or not to another baby wouldn't change and nobody can tell is it working it's no different than adopting parentless baby then naming her Eva wouldn't be different if that's 5-10 yo kid that already attached to Miranda
I agree. But for a different reason, when you read Eva tombstone she is approx. 8-9yrs old. So technically taking a young child's (insert the appropriate term for what the megamyclin absorbs. 2am here sorry my brain drew a blank) and inserting into a approx 6month baby... 😳😳. How exactly is that going to work?
@@asmrtpop2676 Ahh! I didn't even think about that. The whole 6 month old rose vessel, 40 yr old lady vessel, middle aged Heinsberg and Monroe,. And I forget Donna's age,. But Eva only being 9 had been the one thing that baffled me the most about this game.. Thank you for answering the 6montj to 9yr old thing. I don't know why I didn't even consider it.
I felt like they missed a mega twist with Miranda, that she WAS Eva the whole time but had fashioned herself a mother figure to revive her after the end of re7 - eve was a far better villain with genuine personal connection to Ethan so that plot twist would have really worked nicely.
I'm not too sure but I think there's a possibility that her kid mightve been 10 years old when she died. But maybe It was another girls grave. Personally I always thought She was trying to revive a baby but just learned the kid mightve been older.
I thought the random "WTF" cutscenes in these village vids was the drunk guy at Luzia's when she has Ethan walk into the den. "WTF is this you brought a stranger in here.."
Yes I hope in the next game, which I assume that they'll heavily feature Rose, would explain more about the Mold, where the Megamycete came from, and how this all ties in with the connections with Mother Miranda and her losing her powers just prior to her fight with Ethan Winters
I would be worried about using rose as a main character - although we don't know the full extent of her powers she has proven herself to be unkillable by normal means and will likely have powerful mind control and incredible durability so I wouldn't really feel any sense of danger playing as a character that strong compared to a regular human.
@Joey Cage that is true. Rose seems like she's already very OP. It would probably have to be another character that is close to her. Maybe her mom 🤔? Or maybe someone else in the organization that is helping keep watch over Rose?
That would probably explain why Evaline might make up the main portions of rose's Dopplerganger it's just Evaline trying to live again or be the perfect daughter mother Miranda always wanted
If only mother Miranda stayed in contact with Spencer or Umbrella. She would knew about power and capabilities of the progenitor and later iterations like the C virus..the progress Spencer, umbrella and later on the Family achieved. Being able to create perfectly aged and genetically matched clones. Combined with the molds memory imprinting properties or the mind copying technology of Alex Wesker. She would've been able to have as many baby Eva's as she wanted. Though she's probably not in the best head space mentally speaking. Blinded by her grief and stunted by her hubris.
Reading these types of comments just make me think about the lore found at the mill about how Miranda didn't allow newspapers from outside of the village to be read by the villagers. There'd be incentive for many of the villagers to leave just because how could they not be? She needed them to depend on her and stay close to be part of her experiments. Besides, her end goal was completely different from Spencer's. Based on aspects of his letter and conversations they had during his stay, she probably made character judgments about Spencer that could have ended up being threats to her work and her control over the village and the mold. He'd probably end up overstepping onto Miranda's agenda just because he's so self-righteous (even if he held her in high regard) and try to take the megamycete for himself. What could she really do with mold, 4 lords, and a helpless group of isolated villagers against futuristic weaponry and a bigger number of bioweapons?
@@APopptart to be fair 1) Alcina is equivalent to a Tyrant , if not even better due to her rapid regeneration and borderline invincibility 2) She has an army of Lycans who , while less intelligent, were definetly equivalent to the BOW soldiers in strength 3) Miranda herself is just straight up BROKEN. Everything from rapid regeneration to shapeshifting to being able to infect others with the Megamycete, she was legitimately the most powerfull BOW we had seen in the series this far
@filipvadas7602 Mother Miranda is very strong but given other incidents from the she just seems like small potatoes. The raccoon city incident alone is the craziest thing to have happen in the RE world with the village and the Spain incident coming in 2nd and third. A whole modern city becoming infected with the t virus in literal hours is insane. Not only 11:35 you have Birkin walking with the g virus which is the most regenerative virus besides maybe Simmons from re6. Nemesis is hunting down stars members. While umbrella drops in Lickers and hunters. Tyrants like Mr X were actually being dropped to kill any survivors all across the city. In the og resident evil 3 where Jill finds the rail gun. She comes across multiple dead UBCS soldiers with 5 other tyrants who are dead as well. Combine that with the multiple b.o.ws that happen to be there and the outbreak files with Thanatos who is an experimental tyrant. There's no wonder they had to nuke the city. Mother Miranda also isn't that much different from Lord Saddler who controlled everybody but with the Las Plagas parasite. Lord Saddler also had the U-3 and the Verdugos who are both insanely strong. The Verdugos in particular are the talkies enemy and are on par with wesker and krauser with how fast they are. Village was a cool game but it's like re4 with different flavors and Ethan Winters in search of rose. Pretty cool game but the lore made Mother Miranda out to be super threatening when a lot of RE fans who have played previous entires have already defeated more insane villians. Wesker still holds the top spot taking over parts of Africa with Kas plagas and having multiple facilities with Tricell while collecting B.O.W.s for Uroboros which if his plan succeeded with the plan. Yeah he could've done completed global saturation. Imagine if Urobors dropped in the ocean. 75% of earth would be fucked because now a virus that can Bind organims into large biomass doesn't have its main weakness, fire be effective to it anymore. Wesker himself is also just leagues more impressive then Miranda. The right to be a god was his because he was Spencer's greatest achievement. Wesker had the perfect genetics to be in sync with the progenitor virus to where he was almost invincible. Chris has to defeat him by suppressing the virus until Wesker perfectly bonded with uroboros. He died in a volcano while having two rockets fired at his face.
Splitting Rose into 4 pieces is a pretty good way of preventing Rose from being taken from her as only she would know how to put her back together but it would also basically force The player to hand her back over to Miranda for the same reason.
Of the many characters in Resident Evil, Miranda and the 4 lords were definitely the most tragic in terms of villains. Miranda herself being a victim of the Megamycete. Her grief caused her to do so many horrible things just for the chance to hold Eva again. Although I do wonder why she never tried to reach out to Spencer again, either before or just after the events of Raccoon City. It occurs to me that each had something the other wanted. Spencer had the ability to create a perfect enhanced clone of Eva for Miranda while she could have given Spencer the immortality he craved. I can see Spencer setting up a research lab there and continuing his experiments with the progenitor virus strains and the mold. I can even see Miranda helping him build it beneath Heisenberg’s factory with Karl trying to turn them against each other.
That's a great point you made there, that both Spencer and Miranda had something that each wanted. Spencer possibly had a good vessel using the Progenitor virus and Miranda achieved the Immortality that Spencer wanted. It's good that these two didn't reconnect because that would have been a scary combination to take on
Maybe in some dark twisted way Mother Miranda truly loved Ethan & Rose as the family she lost decades ago. & truly wanted Ethan to stop her. But given your explanation Miranda was only using the 4 Guardians as fuel to feed the Megamycete & revive her daughter. In the end it was all for her own selfish ends.🤷🏿♂️
Manuella is also a "good BOW". Not many know about her because she is a part of a side game. Canonically, she is still alive, and the T Veronica Virus lives in her. Manuela is not a fighter, but it is nice to see Alexia-like user again.
@@wintertrooper7918 which probably means Chris and the other OGs (Leon, Claire, Jill, etc.) wouldn't be in it, considering they'd be really old by then. Sherry and Jake, I could see being plausible tho.
I think Miranda was very underutilized in the story I'll explain: 1. I think Rose should have been Miranda and Ethan's daughter. it makes more sense considering what we find out about Ethan and Miranda at the end. Both had their lives saved/extended by the Mold. It would tie into Miranda's character of wanting family considering that she herself is heavily mutated by the mold it would make sense for her to able to have a child with Ethan. Also maybe it's just me but all the flashback scenes with Mia are actually Miranda it seemed she actually started to care about Ethan and was enjoying living with him and Rose (Woman was learning and cooking traditional cuisine for him reading bedtime stories to Rose or maybe I'm just imagining things but i note she did give him to Heisenberg who she knew wanted to overthrow her, maybe trying to give Ethan a chance to escape). it could be in Chris's part that we find diary logs of her observing Ethan and Mia switching out and her starting to consider permanently replacing Mia. 2.Chris attacking that house could be what brings out her old "Mother Miranda" personality and that's when she stops pretending that she could stay with Ethan and Rose in the world but plans to bring the them into the village and become apart of her "Original" family. 3. I would add a radio feature like Leon had in RE4. this way we can her more dialogue between the Lords, Mother Miranda, and Ethan. While the lords would taunt, mock, and threaten Ethan Mother Miranda I think would simply have casual conversation trying to make Ethan see her side of the story and how she "saved" the villagers and the Lords. remember she was around during the time the Spanish Flu was ravaging Europe would it be safe to assume it ravaged her village to and she saw how the Mold saved her it could save others we know Alcina is almost as old as her as she is the eldest of the 4 and was saved due to the Cadou and the Mold from her hereditary Blood disease. 4. if you look at the 4 lords they are each stereotypical problem children: Alcina is the Perfectionist and the one who is considered by the others to be favorite, except herself due to her needing to drink blood to live, Heisenberg the rebellious son who wants to go his own way against his mothers wishes, Donna is the mentally ill child, who cannot function normally with others, Moreau is the Handicapped child that tries to do thing he see's his siblings do but can't due to his handicap. Rose represents a flawless child of Miranda unlike the others and this would explain their extreme hostility towards Ethan as he (and rose) changed something in their "mother" that they couldn't over the decades they spent in isolation with her. 5. the Final battle now has even greater context as Ethan has killed all her former family and now the only thing she has is Rose so she won't be alone anymore and she tries to convince Ethan to join her and help raise rose (revealing that she was pretending to be Mia and is Rose's real mother) to rule the world it goes like it does in canon and she kills him when he rejects her and we get our Chris playthrough, the revel the real Mia is alive, and the final battle. and everything goes as it did in the game with Mia raising Rose her final memento of Ethan.
"... Would it be safe to assume it revaged her village...". It would be more than safe, and not an assumption. It would be a fact. Mentioned in writing and illustration in the story. Her daughter Eva died from the Spanish Flu, buried in the village. She went to the cave to to end her life unable to live without her daughter. Then discovered the megamycete and upon touch absorb the knowledge of the history of it and unknown amounts of information from those whose "lifeforce" it had absorb that had been in or around the village. (Including her daughter, EVA). She says in jer dairy that she then began to "infect" the villagers with this stuff, allowing them to become submissive towards her making it easy for her to run experiments on them in search of the perfect vessel to resurrect Eva. To the illustrations at the end of the game during the credits we see that she was able to do this because the villagers trusted her because she was the priest at the church or priestess when a child comes to her sick with again the Spanish flu she's able to save her using the mold little girl lives and the villagers start coming to her to receive the same treatment thus how it was so easy for her to infect the entire village and make them submissive towards her after saving the child that's when they villagers began to see her as their Goddess. I really like your theory/idea on Miranda basically just permanently taken on the role of Mia, and raising Rose together with Ethan. The only flaw with it is her obsession since 1919 has been to resurrect her daughter Eva I don't think she's capable of having emotional feelings for anyone else or for anything else she has mindset to bring her daughter back and that's it. But I like your idea better, and mostly because As a mother myself it was very awkward running around this village collecting flask with my in-game child's body parts in it. Because for Miranda to be so obsessed with family she had no problem breaking a 6 month old baby into four pieces. All in the name of getting her daughter back... 😱 😱
@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl She wouldn't have to "groom" him. He was already a husband (going back to before the events of RE7) as well as a father. To groom someone means they do not have the prior experience. Ethan has natural fatherly instincts. That aside I do, see how she -Miranda- could have been hoping he would Eva as his own, along side her, since she was using Rose as a vessel. Though I am still confused how a 9yr girl was going to squeeze into a 6month old vessel. Just saying. As a mother I would have found an age appropriate vessel. I mean let's face it the tarler years with a normal normal toddler is a nightmare it's a nightmare imagine a toddler years with a bio weapon toddler!!! 😧😧😧😧😧😧😧
@@hippiechicmeggs7658 I thought she was having him go against the 4 lords as a test to prove his devotion and resolve to save his daughter and prove himself to be father matrial. I thought that what hesberg was talking about
@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl Miranda used Ethan for taking out her "children"/Lords, who, like Eveline in RE7, are failed vessels of Eva, according to her notes found in her lab in the cave. So there was no need for them anymore; truthfully she doesn't even need Ethan, hence her killing him. She probably just wanted to use him from the beginning to kill off the lords and if he died trying, so what? Him -Ethan- killing them off made things easier for her, -Miranda-- and she could take care of whoever is left. Ethan kills lords, brought her all four pieces, then she kills Ethan. .
Mother Miranda definitely took the long way to accomplish her goal. Given the fact it was the Megamycete sample she gave to The Connection that created Evelyn, which infected Ethan, that gave birth to their daughter, that Mother Miranda posed as Chris just to kidnap.
You know what that would have been interesting, what if she did pose as Chris instead of Mia. Then again if she did then the real Chris Redfield, who was keeping tabs on her, would have probably been alerted of seeing a doppleganger
@@user-em6ie2be7x Personally I think the upcoming DLC for Village we will see another dedicated small campaign with Chris like we had in RE7 which covers the rest of his mission after we got back to using Ethan at the end of the game. Because I really want to know where Chris was when he shot Miranda in the Head when we interrupted her Ceremonial scene with Rose
I love that her transformations represent the Mother (Miranda), Maiden (Mia), and Crone (old hag). Though you could swap Miranda with Mia in this case as well.. Fits really nicely into this.
One reason for some of her questionable choice could be that at heart she was more of a religious person than a scientist. While she did perform various experiments, maybe I missed something, but how scientific was her approach in the first place? Did she analyse the four lords, trying to determine what made them more compatible than others or did she go with the "apperture science" approach of throwing things at the wall and see what sticks? And the way she tries to revive her daughter is very ritualistic. So the entire plot of the game might be simply happening because in her twisted mind she came up with some ritual, that required all of this.
Im with you , her only 'successes' were the four lords who were basically the only people who happened to have some affinity to the mold out of the thousands she infected, and Eveline who was really created by the connections , they did the proper scientific work which she hopped she could piggy back of, but their intent and what they did was create a bioweapon which of course wouldn't be suitable for her
I feel like Mother Miranda ranks evenly with James Marcus in terms of inhumanity; her choices made her a good villain but she did a lot of horrific acts to get what she wants. Whelp, that's RE villains in a nutshell I guess! 😅
Now that I think about it, Marcus actually made worse decisions than Miranda. If his goal was to simply expose Umbrella, he could have just used his leech clone to, I don't know...tell everyone?!
@@grindingtheaxe3027marcus was arguably the most irredemable villain in RE,i mean remember what he did to the children at the training facility? It was so damn horrible tht the min spencer heard about it,he was like "aw hell nah marcus u gone too far this time !" And what makes marcus even scarier is the fact he doesnt see anyone or anythin as worthy of livin except himself and by extension his leeches,least spencer and wesker wanted to keep a small amount of ppl alive in the end
I can imagine that IF Eva did come back to life, what would she feel if she finds out that her mother had used a lot of people just to bring her back? And also, what would Miranda expect for her daughter to act? "Oh mother thank you for bringing me back to life with the expense of the life of the people!" I have no doubt that the kid would join in Chris's operation to put an end to her mother's madness.
She would be an absolute monster if she did come back, everyone Miranda was considering as hosts were mutated in some way so it is a near certainty that she wanted something extremely biologically powerful.
What I had in my head tho.. if Eva could have been resurrected without Miranda's knowledge (possibly accidentally she was successful but never knew that)... that can explain why Miranda's further experiments can't manifest Eva's consciousness that easily. Then, Eva could actually be that knowledgeable of Miranda, and is now already a grown woman, but chose to stay away from Miranda because of what Miranda has done. She might be powerful too... and far more intelligent considering she's also link to the megamycete... Just imagine if Eva actually became a bigger protagonist against Miranda hahahah
I thought the megamycyete thrived or wanted the energy from a grieving parent. Or maybe wanted to help them. That’s why mother Miranda and Ethan where as powerful. When he thought his girl was lost it activated to its full strength. The megamycete betrayed Miranda after she was taking someone daughter.
@@theblackbaron4119 and I don’t think some cave fungus is going to bond with a human host be able to revive them and store the memories of dead humans and be able reincarnate dead babies by sacrificing another baby. I also don’t think a cave fungus will give you the ability to turn into flies, a weird humanoid dragon that can change its form to a 9 foot human woman while maintaining the same mass.
Mother Miranda is probably my favourite character in Village! I also like that as an RE villain, she's not trying to control the world (although maybe that was her plan for Eva?) with some virus or destroy everything, she actually has a kinda human motivation for what she's doing (she's still pretty evil with all her experiments, but the fact that she was motivated by the loss of her child is a bit more humanizing!) Plus she has an amazing design, interesting abilities and the vocal performance by Michelle Lukes is perfect!!! (I REALLY hope we see some more of her via DLC!)
It's a pity that Miranda didn't accept Eveline. They both just wanted a family SO MUCH. It would have saved a lot of lives if they could have just been one crazy family in a cave and left everyone else alone. Also, anyone else think that maybe Heisenberg is part of the reason Miranda lost her powers? I can absolutely see him pulling a Kimblee and just refusing to be absorbed into the hivemind to fuck with Miranda one more time.
I'm inclined to believe the theory she stayed as Mia for as long as she did because she grew fond of Ethan, rose and the home life she weaseled her way into. I wish we could have known more of Miranda and her life before she became a nutcase
Miranda shapeshifting into a murder of ravens reminds me much of the Mórrigan from celtic mythology. I loved Miranda as a villain, though there are a lot of things that didn't make sense about her plan, but ok.
Miranda's a great villain. Ethan was right about her, ultimately. The person she became after Eva died isn't capable of real love. I feel so bad for all of Miranda's victims, but the biggest is Eveline and the Bakers. Eveline was created to eventually become somebody else. She was a child who was treated like a monster all her life, and never knew what it was like to be loved. I don't blame her for becoming so sadistic and twisted. The Bakers (except maybe the brother) were good people who suffered as a result of everything done to Eveline as well. I think that's why Eveline told Ethan the truth about his body--she might resent Ethan for his part in her death, but I think she hated Miranda more. I think she was hoping to spur Ethan on just long enough to kill her.
it's an interesting mystery for me how Miranda sparing Spencer from any harm, for secrecy she should killed Spencer that time, or using him as another experiment stock, she choose to be friendly with Spencer.
@@geminihero that too you can tell she knew he had something in him she knew how smart he was to understand her experiments which he took inspiration from in his future projects. I always saw Lady D as inspiration for the tyrant series tall with claws and regenerative capabilities I knew he wanted something of the sort as he was obsessed with Human evolution.
man spencer had made all kinds of connections over the years hes really the main villain in resident evil if you think about it all of what happned is becuase of him.
What really bugs me about the cadeau "parasite" is the fact that it is by definition not a parasite. A parasitic relationship implies that only one party benefits off of the relationship living off the host to the detriment of its existence. Mutual benefit is a symbiosis no matter how minor it is. There's a second type of symbiosis or would you rather say it's not parasitic but only one party befits while the host at least has no downside to it. Like clownfish living in an anamone. Or certain fish hiding inside of sea cucumbers.
I like to think that it was the part of Eveline that lived in Ethan that took Miranda's powers away. As much as Rose is oh-so-powerful, she's a baby and pretty incapable of reason, while Eve is skilled at controlling the mold. That'd also be in character for her, Rose is as much her daughter biologically as Mia's and Ethan's so it'd make sence for her to protect the family she always wanted (in face, her pep talk to Ethan already speaks to that).
Isn't the village suffering from Spanish flu at the time that her daughter died from the same disease? I think you missed that part on her diary. I think that the Spanish flu was still rampant in the village when she gained power from the megamycete. And that it is a perfect opportunity for her to start her plan to find the suitable vessel for Eva. And after getting the villagers cured of the Spanish flu, that is the beginning of her cult and that Christianity was abandoned by the villagers as she is now what they consider as their god.
I really wish they showed exactly when and how Miranda took over Mia’s life. Like obviously it was after rose was born but how did she take her to that village and replace her without Ethan noticing
I personally think that Mother Miranda was full of herself and thinking Ethan wouldn't even come close to her. Villains like her are big narcissists. I also think that with Mia captured, she could have possibly wanted more baby "test subjects" with Ethan, hence the little happy family routine. It's crazy, I didn't even think about all the plot matters. I just enjoyed the game. I don't remember the antagonists name, but could you do a video on the butcher character found on the outskirts of the village. I am not exactly sure how much information there is on him thought. My all time favorite villain is William Birkin, I battled him when I was 11, left nightmares in my mind for years, battling Mother Miranda at 34 is a little different. Great content!
Thank you and its true what you said that she does come off as narcissistic. Another person commented that it was weird that she transformed into the old lady and talked about herself.
@@HeYDeVuH Not just talking about herself she was actually praying to herself when you leave the castle and you meet her in that cave area she's saying her own prayer!! When he got revealed in game that it was her that was the one thing that popped out my head was if that doesn't scream narcissist I don't know what does It's one thing to talk about yourself It's a whole other when you're praying to yourself or would that technically be considered worshiping yourself
It was incredibly easy for me to totally forget about MM while playing this game XD It felt like the other antagonists had the focus while she was in the background
3:46 "If." "If?!" It sounds like Miranda was doing a ALL OF THIS on a wish, hope, and a prayer. I mean, I don't blame her for. She was suffering from thr death of her daughter, so she probably wasn't thinking straight. A part of me likes to believe Eva, for what ever reason, wasn't in the megamycete. Yes, Miranda had her DNA to give those scientists. But did the megamycete ever have Eva's consciousness, her "soul?" I feel like if Miranda's plan did "succeed," she would have gotten a copy of Eva. But considering all she's done to get to this point, I think she won't mind either way.
Yes, Eva's consciousness is in there. Her diary directly tells us that the megamycete absorbs the consciousness of those who died regardless if infected or not. Eva died in the village and the megamycete is near the village so everyone that died there is somehow absorbed by the megamycete. The mold from the megamycete acts as its extension so that it can absorb consciousness even in as far as america. That's why we see Eveline in Ethan's consciousness even though she died in Louisiana
Mother Miranda seems more tragic than anything Like Oswald say you are trying to bring back one person, I believe this desire this obsession led her to become crazy.
Just wanted to say you have created some really really good content sir...ended up binge watching most of your vids lol..interesting and well produced, I hope you channel continues to grow..
I think also that Mia is another “special case”. When Chris rescued her she said that she was being experimented by Miranda and she seems to be totally fine before the explosion.
17:24, the detail here is very well thought out. It has been studied that crows have fantastic speech mimicry capabilities so the idea of this crow that is clearly closely associated to/controlled by Mother Miranda sounding like Rose is most likely intentional.
Miranda’s grief was worse than Wandas jeez.. her grief spanned over a 100 years. You would think that long she would realize what she was doing was futile and senseless. Destroying countless innocent people, families, mothers, daughters, would bear some hint of semblance to how she lost her daughter. I wonder if the MEGAMYCETE corrupted her mind, just like the Darkhold did to Wanda? Did the Mold fill her with darkness to the point where she doesn’t feel empathy or a sense of morality? I’m curious about that.
I wish they would have done more with the old lady. She's probably the creepiest thing in the game and leading up to release I was ready for her to be like a boss fight or something. And then she's apparently just Miranda messing with you or whatever. Probably the most disappointing part of the whole game for me is the old lady not being an enemy.
I loved this character of Mother Miranda so much!! she exhales this super powerful, scary and strategist villain essence!! I love her backstory as she is kinda behind some of the things that happened in other games and as she is one of the oldest characters here. I just think that obsession of having her daughter back was kinda out of controul, like I can't imagine what is to a mother losting her child, but this went out of controul, she did a lot of things and experiments and so many years have passed, she could've handled her feelings like a normal person, but of course the megamycete turned her into this psycho witch with that obsession. concluding she was a great character and I wish we could see more of her!
I preferred her with her look that had her mask on and a hood made of feathers. It just looks more better and seems to fit her since she doesn't show her real face for a long time, taking shapes as others, and surrounded by dead as a symbol of the crows.
i think the reason mother miranda didn't take rose in the first place is that she was also studying Ethan and his environment. since Ethan winter is a special kind of mold compare to in RE7.
That'd be pretty cool, because I can see some mirroring scenarios between the two RE games. Both set in an undisclosed remote Village, Both had Cult leaders using a form of Bioweapon, Both had that huge castle area, and so much more.
Do you think maybe the minds of all the people who had died and were absorbed into the megamycte decided that was the perfect time to get revenge on Miranda and ban together to weaken her at the end. As revenge for getting murdered and experimented on and absorbed into one big hive mind.
That could be the case, because it was stated that the Megamycete absorbed the consciousness of people so it would make sense that finally ot was time to rebel against Mother Miranda.
I don't think he's "weak" he has clear motivations and personality, just as single minded as previous player characters. The switch to first person from third person brings some upsides and downsides. There are only so many hand gestures and animations you can do while looking through Ethan's eyes. If you look at Leon in third person it's so much more you can see, his idle animations, a more movie like 3rd person observer view when he's fighting in cutscenes with Krauser. I think Ethan is exactly what he was needed for.
headcanon of that time Miranda pretending to be Mia Miranda: "baby Rose, I will have all time in world with you.... later, for now I will take your father for me, darling...!"
Some people say Miranda and Spencer knowing each other is shoehorned in but I think it can be believable. Spencer was still a character that was in the shadows and they didn't reveal absolutely everything about him in Resident Evil 5. I know it can feel tagged on since they weren't thinking ahead but it doesn't hurt to add more lor to Spencer especially before he made umbrella. I liked Miranda as a villain but I easily would've chose Lady Dimitrescu as the main villain since I found her way more interesting. That male form of Miranda and it having a Dragon form is really interesting, I'm glad they gave it to Alcina instead.
What keeps it from being believable and in fact being shoehorned in is that we barley know anything about her we get all of one game to believe that this chick had hands in molding one of the most evil and prolific organizations that the entirety of Resident Evil universe is built around.
@@windandcloudshadow158 Exactly. Capcom just needs to stop trying to have everything tie in with Umbrella. It’s unfortunate we never got a proper conclusion to that storyline but it’s far too late at this point and the best thing for the franchise going forward is to stop bringing Spencer,Wesker, and Umbrella into the plots.
@@mtb5431 Agreed, Miranda would've been fine if she was just a random villain trying to get what she wants instead they had to give her ties to the originals in a way that just had way to many plot holes.
@@windandcloudshadow158 It feels shoehorned in because of how isolated Village is, I do hope they'll make more lor to make Miranda's connection to Spencer better but I do see what people mean.
Yeah for me I don't care. The fact that we got more lore for Spencer is enough for me. And I like the idea that someone pushed him and inspired him to become even more evil
22:00 Ethans disbelief after all he's been through seemed kinda weird here, he's had limbs reattached and fully functional in seconds seen people have chunks of their heads blown off to regenerate like it never happened and he's surprised that his daughter can be restored to her original form?
It's easy to compartmentalize things, especially after trauma. The Baker Incident traumatized him. One of the DLCs to add RE7 content into REVillage was called the "Trauma Pack". Also, they had Rose tested again and again and were told that she was "normal". So, to him, in his gasping moment of feverish panic, he's going through confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance, the latter of which is not a state that the mind can exist in perpetually. Ethan wants to believe that his daughter can be saved but he doesn't want to admit that this means she's "different" or "changed". Also, he's trying to process all this while dealing with mortal peril from inhuman creatures. He's got no time to mentally or emotionally process anything.
Out of all the women villains in the Resident Evil series, like Dr. Marcus's Queen Leech, Alexia Ashford, Excella Gionne, Alex Wesker, Clara Radames, Marguerite Baker, Eveline, Alcina "Lady" Dimitrescu, and Donna Beneviento, Mother Miranda is the best of them all a true villain, who committed so many atrocities to the citizens of her own village, all in an attempt to resurrect her own child Eva whom she lost over 100 years ago, you did an amazing job covering everything Mother Miranda did in her real long life, I really am impressed HeY DeVuH and I look forward to who you want to cover next ✌️
Another awesome high quality doco from Hey Duvah, always makes my day to watch what you've put together, a thoroughly enjoyable watch, kinda makes me think if The Family from Resi 6 and The Connections from Resi 7 are somehow involved with each other, and I do think about the epilogue of village and think it does kinda make sense that rose ages at an accelerated rate, and it's funny and interesting that Blue Umbrella is attempting to make amends like bad guy going good, and now the BSAA are apparently the big bad... What a switch around! So yeah been thinking bout all that stuff for awhile now, anyway, Take care Hay Duvah hope you have a good day
I'd like to imagine the reason Miranda didnt want Ethan near her while she was cooking is because one day Ethan slapped her butt playfully thinking that was his wife.
She’s definitely near the bottom for me when it comes to ranking main antagonists. Problem with Mother Miranda is she barely has any presence throughout the game and compared to past RE villains, just doesn’t have anything to make her memorable. I’d say she’s above Simmons and the guy from Rev1 on the villains tier but that’s it.
@@windandcloudshadow158 That too. Also just loathed Capcom trying to sell that a character we’re only just now meeting was supposedly responsible for the formation of Umbrella. It’s just beyond lazy
She has about the same amount of presence as any other RE villains except for Wesker since he spans over couple of games. The only difference was that her presence was in a form of someone else rather than her true self.
I don’t know if anyone else thinks she needed more screen time because she was at the beginning at the meeting and then abruptly showed up at the end I felt that was rushed, they should have had her show up as herself or in a way speak and interact with Ethan, like how Heisenberg when after you defeat Moreau and getting his flash and his section
Yeah it would have been great to see her more throughout the game, also I want to know and want to see how she kidnapped Mia and her plans prior to going into the Winters Household
While you explained everything, I was just enjoying and reminiscing over the gorgeous RE1 remake save theme. RE1 remake was truly a remarkable game and one of the best games ever made.
What if the next game, the big baddie is Rose, she somehow got destabilize/mentally deterioted for some reason (probably because she found out that she's not Ethan and Mia's daughter but rather Ethan and mother Miranda's!, And she finally figured out why Mia kinda loathed her, even though she's supposed to be her mother) when rose deterioted, we found out that she's the 'catalogue' of the mold that Mother Miranda had been talking about, so in her breakdown she unleashes the entire catalogue of the mold, bringing back the entire monstrosity of the mold, resulting in the rebirth of the previous baddie, like lady dimitrescue, beneviento, heisenberg, moireu, the lycans and even Ethan (but in a mutated state, where he could never dies, like when the protagonist cuts of his limb, the bits of said limbs then acts on it's own attacking the antagonist through out the game). Idk lmaoo, it's just my 3am imagination.
Here's the thing tho, no one explained why eveline was a defect? She was right around the perfect age and could control the mold which her and Miranda could do together? Someone please explain
@@HeYDeVuH thank you so much for explaining!!!! It means alot that you pay attention to the comments on your videos! I literally watched so so many videos and no one was explaining why!!! Youre awesome! Def subscribing!!!
@@HeYDeVuH, but in the end of RE 7 we find out Eveline is actually the old lady. She isn't perfect because even though she could control the mold, using its powers made her age too quickly. Using the mold's illusionary abilities to make her look still young isn't as effective as making herself actually young, which she couldn't do. Dying of "old age" at around 20 isn't exactly what Miranda, an immortal woman, would want for her child. That's why Alcina was the closest to being a perfect vessel before Rose, she achieved immortality. Alcina's only flaw was her blood disease, which the cadou turned into a thirst for blood.
It seemed like she took pleasure in her power and the fact the she had basically become a demigod. She was a terrible person to her core whether or not she initially started out that way.
I agree with what you said, I think initially all she wanted was just to get her Daughter back but in the process was corrupted from all the knowledge from the Megamycete and its powers.
What I really liked was that Mother Miranda and Ethan were quite similar in that they desperately wanted to get their child back, being willing to sacrifice almost anything to save their child. It makes me wonder what Ethan would have done if he was in Mirandas position. Would he be willing to sacrifice innocent lives to bring back Rose?
I feel like mother Miranda is an interesting character but I don't think it was necessary for Spencer to get inspiration from her as direct as it was presented in the story imo
Where does Mother Miranda Rank against the Other Villains in the Resident Evil Series? Also Do you think some of her decisions during the game ruined her character?

Hello HeY DeVuH!
Nice video.
I really did enjoy watching it.
HEY DEVUH! cant watch this right now but Ill be back
Awesome bro long time no see though cheers.
i always found it weird that she would use moreau and heisenberg as test subjects considering her revival plan would only need female vessels
You know what good point on that one
I'd say that she probably thinks that the physical and mental manifestation of her daughter would overtake the vessels body and mind if she ever used a male vessel. Hence why she still conducts experiments on male subjects
She was definitely testing something else
While reincarnation is a thing in the RE series, I think it's slowly being corrupted from Umbrella's dangerous ambitions for control?
Well probably just to see who is strong enough
I always thought that her replacing Mia and living with Ethan maybe started off as a way to kidnap Rose and / or study her but then she stayed bc by doing that she could be a mother again, that would make her character deeper considering she basically almost causes an apocalypse on earth just for the sake of having her daughter back. She wants to be a mother again so she prolongs her stay with Ethan and pretends to be the mother of her chosen vessel just to feel that way again, a feeling so strong she even delays her ultimate plan just to feel it a little longer.
That's a really interesting way of seeing it, never thought of it that way.
I could see that. I also wonder if she enjoyed living with Ethan a bit under the mask of his wife. She mentions being lonely for years so it could have felt nice being seen in the same way Ethan sees his wife.
How long was she with ethan after res7?
@@Batkiller stop farting
She literally could have slept with him and get knocked up and then return Mia the next day. She would have her own perfect child
Wouldn't it be a nice twist if when Miranda was killed she was reunited with her daughter in the megamycete... Some kind of sick happy ending that was right in front of her all along.
That'd be a good ending for her
Her daughter never entered the megamycete, though. She died of the bird flu.
All of her plans and experiments to have her daughter revived was doomed to failure based on that simple precept.
@@mellowyello1478 Yes, I know. That's why I said it'd be a cool twist. Resident Evil has done crazier things.
@@mellowyello1478 But she put her dead body within the megamycete thereby copying the genetic details of her daughter. It wouldn't be her daughter but considering the daughter died as a child it would be like a sister or twin of her original daughter. Something I'm sure Miranda would be happy to live with as a consolation
That would probably interefere with the next game. I’m guessing Miranda is alive and within Ethan, who’s also alive. Or within rose.
Personally I humor myself by believing that the reason she didn't just take rose when she was impersonating as Mia was because she got too into the role of being a wife and mother that she started to like having a true family. Lol this is just me though and it makes me laugh.
Actually that's a good point, maybe in a way she wanted to have that normal family life and once she was inside the Winters household she got a taste of what it was like to have a daughter again and with a full family
@@HeYDeVuH lol then chris ruined everything for her
@@discordxibalba4599 He did didn't he. Though imagine they did play that out and Miranda was there for weeks. Then later on Ethan finds out it was Miranda all along, that would have been a very messy situation
@@HeYDeVuH oh yeah eventually especially with her tendency to avoid the conversation involving the Louisiana incident.
@@jackepong6300 Just saying:
Rose is platin-blonde. That's not Ethan's dirty-blonde hair and Mia is dark haired.
Dear Fanfiction-Writers,
we all know the mother! ;)
"your body certainly isn't normal!" *Ethan approaches with no head*
5:38 The fact she praised herself while disguised as the old woman shows she's quite narcissistic.
Very very true, it's very twisted and the whole prayers thing that the Villager chanted shows how much influence she had
Problem liberal ?
Playboi Carti fan
@@dreadedworld8864 why you licking miranda’s boots? 😂🤡
I feel like it might be part of her disguise?
I wanna hear the battle between Miranda and Ethan edited over a courtroom, it sounds like a custody battle.
If history is anything to go by court will favor Miranda simply because she is a woman, but on other hand Ethan has better environment for Rose to grow up, steady house, income, and probably lives not long distance from school either.
@@normaaliihminen722 I think you missed the entire point of my post, so let me clarify:
It would be entertaining to me.
@@cet1r1z1ne then you have weird way to entertain yourself.
@@normaaliihminen722 Yes.
I think the plothole of Miranda's big plan was, her Eva is just a... baby
Eva's memory successfully implanted or not to another baby wouldn't change and nobody can tell is it working
it's no different than adopting parentless baby then naming her Eva
wouldn't be different if that's 5-10 yo kid that already attached to Miranda
I agree. But for a different reason, when you read Eva tombstone she is approx. 8-9yrs old. So technically taking a young child's (insert the appropriate term for what the megamyclin absorbs. 2am here sorry my brain drew a blank) and inserting into a approx 6month baby... 😳😳. How exactly is that going to work?
@@hippiechicmeggs7658 she would rapidly grow though
@@asmrtpop2676 Ahh! I didn't even think about that. The whole 6 month old rose vessel, 40 yr old lady vessel, middle aged Heinsberg and Monroe,. And I forget Donna's age,. But Eva only being 9 had been the one thing that baffled me the most about this game.. Thank you for answering the 6montj to 9yr old thing. I don't know why I didn't even consider it.
I felt like they missed a mega twist with Miranda, that she WAS Eva the whole time but had fashioned herself a mother figure to revive her after the end of re7 - eve was a far better villain with genuine personal connection to Ethan so that plot twist would have really worked nicely.
I'm not too sure but I think there's a possibility that her kid mightve been 10 years old when she died. But maybe It was another girls grave.
Personally I always thought She was trying to revive a baby but just learned the kid mightve been older.
I’m always chuckling whenever there’s a random cutscene in the video with Ethan saying some form of “tf?!” 😂😂
I think Ethan just had enough of all the craziness he experienced from RE7 and RE village LOL
I thought the random "WTF" cutscenes in these village vids was the drunk guy at Luzia's when she has Ethan walk into the den. "WTF is this you brought a stranger in here.."
13:32 Since Rose had part of Eveline in her Eveline weakening Miranda before the fight was revenge for abandoning her as a failed experiment.
If that's really the case maybe they can reveal that in the DLC or the next game.
Yes I hope in the next game, which I assume that they'll heavily feature Rose, would explain more about the Mold, where the Megamycete came from, and how this all ties in with the connections with Mother Miranda and her losing her powers just prior to her fight with Ethan Winters
I would be worried about using rose as a main character - although we don't know the full extent of her powers she has proven herself to be unkillable by normal means and will likely have powerful mind control and incredible durability so I wouldn't really feel any sense of danger playing as a character that strong compared to a regular human.
@Joey Cage that is true. Rose seems like she's already very OP. It would probably have to be another character that is close to her. Maybe her mom 🤔? Or maybe someone else in the organization that is helping keep watch over Rose?
That would probably explain why Evaline might make up the main portions of rose's Dopplerganger it's just Evaline trying to live again or be the perfect daughter mother Miranda always wanted
If only mother Miranda stayed in contact with Spencer or Umbrella. She would knew about power and capabilities of the progenitor and later iterations like the C virus..the progress Spencer, umbrella and later on the Family achieved. Being able to create perfectly aged and genetically matched clones.
Combined with the molds memory imprinting properties or the mind copying technology of Alex Wesker. She would've been able to have as many baby Eva's as she wanted.
Though she's probably not in the best head space mentally speaking. Blinded by her grief and stunted by her hubris.
It's a great thing that in the end that they didn't combine their research. Imagine all the craziness if they did
Reading these types of comments just make me think about the lore found at the mill about how Miranda didn't allow newspapers from outside of the village to be read by the villagers. There'd be incentive for many of the villagers to leave just because how could they not be? She needed them to depend on her and stay close to be part of her experiments. Besides, her end goal was completely different from Spencer's. Based on aspects of his letter and conversations they had during his stay, she probably made character judgments about Spencer that could have ended up being threats to her work and her control over the village and the mold. He'd probably end up overstepping onto Miranda's agenda just because he's so self-righteous (even if he held her in high regard) and try to take the megamycete for himself. What could she really do with mold, 4 lords, and a helpless group of isolated villagers against futuristic weaponry and a bigger number of bioweapons?
@@APopptart to be fair
1) Alcina is equivalent to a Tyrant , if not even better due to her rapid regeneration and borderline invincibility
2) She has an army of Lycans who , while less intelligent, were definetly equivalent to the BOW soldiers in strength
3) Miranda herself is just straight up BROKEN. Everything from rapid regeneration to shapeshifting to being able to infect others with the Megamycete, she was legitimately the most powerfull BOW we had seen in the series this far
@filipvadas7602 Mother Miranda is very strong but given other incidents from the she just seems like small potatoes.
The raccoon city incident alone is the craziest thing to have happen in the RE world with the village and the Spain incident coming in 2nd and third.
A whole modern city becoming infected with the t virus in literal hours is insane. Not only 11:35 you have Birkin walking with the g virus which is the most regenerative virus besides maybe Simmons from re6. Nemesis is hunting down stars members. While umbrella drops in Lickers and hunters. Tyrants like Mr X were actually being dropped to kill any survivors all across the city. In the og resident evil 3 where Jill finds the rail gun. She comes across multiple dead UBCS soldiers with 5 other tyrants who are dead as well. Combine that with the multiple b.o.ws that happen to be there and the outbreak files with Thanatos who is an experimental tyrant. There's no wonder they had to nuke the city.
Mother Miranda also isn't that much different from Lord Saddler who controlled everybody but with the Las Plagas parasite. Lord Saddler also had the U-3 and the Verdugos who are both insanely strong. The Verdugos in particular are the talkies enemy and are on par with wesker and krauser with how fast they are.
Village was a cool game but it's like re4 with different flavors and Ethan Winters in search of rose. Pretty cool game but the lore made Mother Miranda out to be super threatening when a lot of RE fans who have played previous entires have already defeated more insane villians.
Wesker still holds the top spot taking over parts of Africa with Kas plagas and having multiple facilities with Tricell while collecting B.O.W.s for Uroboros which if his plan succeeded with the plan. Yeah he could've done completed global saturation. Imagine if Urobors dropped in the ocean. 75% of earth would be fucked because now a virus that can Bind organims into large biomass doesn't have its main weakness, fire be effective to it anymore.
Wesker himself is also just leagues more impressive then Miranda. The right to be a god was his because he was Spencer's greatest achievement. Wesker had the perfect genetics to be in sync with the progenitor virus to where he was almost invincible. Chris has to defeat him by suppressing the virus until Wesker perfectly bonded with uroboros. He died in a volcano while having two rockets fired at his face.
Splitting Rose into 4 pieces is a pretty good way of preventing Rose from being taken from her as only she would know how to put her back together but it would also basically force The player to hand her back over to Miranda for the same reason.
Of the many characters in Resident Evil, Miranda and the 4 lords were definitely the most tragic in terms of villains. Miranda herself being a victim of the Megamycete. Her grief caused her to do so many horrible things just for the chance to hold Eva again. Although I do wonder why she never tried to reach out to Spencer again, either before or just after the events of Raccoon City. It occurs to me that each had something the other wanted. Spencer had the ability to create a perfect enhanced clone of Eva for Miranda while she could have given Spencer the immortality he craved. I can see Spencer setting up a research lab there and continuing his experiments with the progenitor virus strains and the mold. I can even see Miranda helping him build it beneath Heisenberg’s factory with Karl trying to turn them against each other.
That's a great point you made there, that both Spencer and Miranda had something that each wanted. Spencer possibly had a good vessel using the Progenitor virus and Miranda achieved the Immortality that Spencer wanted. It's good that these two didn't reconnect because that would have been a scary combination to take on
@@HeYDeVuH honestly id have been hyped af seein these two reconnect esp whn they're the overarching villains of the series
More tragic then Lisa Trevor? lol I don't think so.
Miranda is as inconsequential as a zombie butterfly...
@@windandcloudshadow158 Lisa isn’t a villain
Maybe in some dark twisted way Mother Miranda truly loved Ethan & Rose as the family she lost decades ago. & truly wanted Ethan to stop her. But given your explanation Miranda was only using the 4 Guardians as fuel to feed the Megamycete & revive her daughter. In the end it was all for her own selfish ends.🤷🏿♂️
That's an interesting take and yes in the end all she cared about was reviving her Daughter back and using any means necessary to do so
I'd love to see Sherry Birkin, Jake Muller- Wesker, and Rose team up for the next one.
RE8 definitely hints that the next form of war against Bio Terror will be using human bio weapons such as rose
@@wintertrooper7918 Capcom has been knocking it out of the park for the last five years. Can't wait for RE 9 :)
Manuella is also a "good BOW". Not many know about her because she is a part of a side game. Canonically, she is still alive, and the T Veronica Virus lives in her. Manuela is not a fighter, but it is nice to see Alexia-like user again.
it'd have to be much much further into the future in 2022 rose is like a year old
@@wintertrooper7918 which probably means Chris and the other OGs (Leon, Claire, Jill, etc.) wouldn't be in it, considering they'd be really old by then. Sherry and Jake, I could see being plausible tho.
I think Miranda was very underutilized in the story I'll explain:
1. I think Rose should have been Miranda and Ethan's daughter. it makes more sense considering what we find out about Ethan and Miranda at the end. Both had their lives saved/extended by the Mold. It would tie into Miranda's character of wanting family considering that she herself is heavily mutated by the mold it would make sense for her to able to have a child with Ethan. Also maybe it's just me but all the flashback scenes with Mia are actually Miranda it seemed she actually started to care about Ethan and was enjoying living with him and Rose (Woman was learning and cooking traditional cuisine for him reading bedtime stories to Rose or maybe I'm just imagining things but i note she did give him to Heisenberg who she knew wanted to overthrow her, maybe trying to give Ethan a chance to escape). it could be in Chris's part that we find diary logs of her observing Ethan and Mia switching out and her starting to consider permanently replacing Mia.
2.Chris attacking that house could be what brings out her old "Mother Miranda" personality and that's when she stops pretending that she could stay with Ethan and Rose in the world but plans to bring the them into the village and become apart of her "Original" family.
3. I would add a radio feature like Leon had in RE4. this way we can her more dialogue between the Lords, Mother Miranda, and Ethan. While the lords would taunt, mock, and threaten Ethan Mother Miranda I think would simply have casual conversation trying to make Ethan see her side of the story and how she "saved" the villagers and the Lords. remember she was around during the time the Spanish Flu was ravaging Europe would it be safe to assume it ravaged her village to and she saw how the Mold saved her it could save others we know Alcina is almost as old as her as she is the eldest of the 4 and was saved due to the Cadou and the Mold from her hereditary Blood disease.
4. if you look at the 4 lords they are each stereotypical problem children: Alcina is the Perfectionist and the one who is considered by the others to be favorite, except herself due to her needing to drink blood to live, Heisenberg the rebellious son who wants to go his own way against his mothers wishes, Donna is the mentally ill child, who cannot function normally with others, Moreau is the Handicapped child that tries to do thing he see's his siblings do but can't due to his handicap. Rose represents a flawless child of Miranda unlike the others and this would explain their extreme hostility towards Ethan as he (and rose) changed something in their "mother" that they couldn't over the decades they spent in isolation with her.
5. the Final battle now has even greater context as Ethan has killed all her former family and now the only thing she has is Rose so she won't be alone anymore and she tries to convince Ethan to join her and help raise rose (revealing that she was pretending to be Mia and is Rose's real mother) to rule the world it goes like it does in canon and she kills him when he rejects her and we get our Chris playthrough, the revel the real Mia is alive, and the final battle. and everything goes as it did in the game with Mia raising Rose her final memento of Ethan.
"... Would it be safe to assume it revaged her village...".
It would be more than safe, and not an assumption. It would be a fact. Mentioned in writing and illustration in the story. Her daughter Eva died from the Spanish Flu, buried in the village. She went to the cave to to end her life unable to live without her daughter. Then discovered the megamycete and upon touch absorb the knowledge of the history of it and unknown amounts of information from those whose "lifeforce" it had absorb that had been in or around the village. (Including her daughter, EVA). She says in jer dairy that she then began to "infect" the villagers with this stuff, allowing them to become submissive towards her making it easy for her to run experiments on them in search of the perfect vessel to resurrect Eva. To the illustrations at the end of the game during the credits we see that she was able to do this because the villagers trusted her because she was the priest at the church or priestess when a child comes to her sick with again the Spanish flu she's able to save her using the mold little girl lives and the villagers start coming to her to receive the same treatment thus how it was so easy for her to infect the entire village and make them submissive towards her after saving the child that's when they villagers began to see her as their Goddess.
I really like your theory/idea on Miranda basically just permanently taken on the role of Mia, and raising Rose together with Ethan. The only flaw with it is her obsession since 1919 has been to resurrect her daughter Eva I don't think she's capable of having emotional feelings for anyone else or for anything else she has mindset to bring her daughter back and that's it. But I like your idea better, and mostly because As a mother myself it was very awkward running around this village collecting flask with my in-game child's body parts in it. Because for Miranda to be so obsessed with family she had no problem breaking a 6 month old baby into four pieces. All in the name of getting her daughter back... 😱
😱
@@hippiechicmeggs7658 maybe she was trying to groom Ethan to be husband matrial and a daddy to her daughter after all ever girl needs a dad
@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl She wouldn't have to "groom" him. He was already a husband (going back to before the events of RE7) as well as a father. To groom someone means they do not have the prior experience. Ethan has natural fatherly instincts.

Though I am still confused how a 9yr girl was going to squeeze into a 6month old vessel. Just saying.

@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl Miranda used Ethan for taking out her "children"/Lords, who, like Eveline in RE7, are failed vessels of Eva, according to her notes found in her lab in the cave.
So there was no need for them anymore; truthfully she doesn't even need Ethan, hence her killing him. She probably just wanted to use him from the beginning to kill off the lords and if he died trying, so what? Him -Ethan- killing them off made things easier for her, -Miranda-- and she could take care of whoever is left.
Ethan kills lords, brought her all four pieces, then she kills Ethan. .
Mother Miranda definitely took the long way to accomplish her goal. Given the fact it was the Megamycete sample she gave to The Connection that created Evelyn, which infected Ethan, that gave birth to their daughter, that Mother Miranda posed as Chris just to kidnap.
You know what that would have been interesting, what if she did pose as Chris instead of Mia. Then again if she did then the real Chris Redfield, who was keeping tabs on her, would have probably been alerted of seeing a doppleganger

@@user-em6ie2be7x nah I want more mia she has so much history that was never explored
3:38 A mix of her grief at Eva's death and the mould's effects probably drove Miranda insane.
I love that her transformations represent the Mother (Miranda), Maiden (Mia), and Crone (old hag). Though you could swap Miranda with Mia in this case as well.. Fits really nicely into this.
One reason for some of her questionable choice could be that at heart she was more of a religious person than a scientist. While she did perform various experiments, maybe I missed something, but how scientific was her approach in the first place? Did she analyse the four lords, trying to determine what made them more compatible than others or did she go with the "apperture science" approach of throwing things at the wall and see what sticks?
And the way she tries to revive her daughter is very ritualistic.
So the entire plot of the game might be simply happening because in her twisted mind she came up with some ritual, that required all of this.
Im with you , her only 'successes' were the four lords who were basically the only people who happened to have some affinity to the mold out of the thousands she infected, and Eveline who was really created by the connections , they did the proper scientific work which she hopped she could piggy back of, but their intent and what they did was create a bioweapon which of course wouldn't be suitable for her
I feel like Mother Miranda ranks evenly with James Marcus in terms of inhumanity; her choices made her a good villain but she did a lot of horrific acts to get what she wants. Whelp, that's RE villains in a nutshell I guess! 😅
They both had their own twisted way of achieving their goals, unfortunately their means of experiments caused many casualties in the process
Now that I think about it, Marcus actually made worse decisions than Miranda. If his goal was to simply expose Umbrella, he could have just used his leech clone to, I don't know...tell everyone?!
@@grindingtheaxe3027marcus was arguably the most irredemable villain in RE,i mean remember what he did to the children at the training facility? It was so damn horrible tht the min spencer heard about it,he was like "aw hell nah marcus u gone too far this time !" And what makes marcus even scarier is the fact he doesnt see anyone or anythin as worthy of livin except himself and by extension his leeches,least spencer and wesker wanted to keep a small amount of ppl alive in the end
I can imagine that IF Eva did come back to life, what would she feel if she finds out that her mother had used a lot of people just to bring her back?
And also, what would Miranda expect for her daughter to act? "Oh mother thank you for bringing me back to life with the expense of the life of the people!"
I have no doubt that the kid would join in Chris's operation to put an end to her mother's madness.
She would be an absolute monster if she did come back, everyone Miranda was considering as hosts were mutated in some way so it is a near certainty that she wanted something extremely biologically powerful.
What I had in my head tho.. if Eva could have been resurrected without Miranda's knowledge (possibly accidentally she was successful but never knew that)... that can explain why Miranda's further experiments can't manifest Eva's consciousness that easily. Then, Eva could actually be that knowledgeable of Miranda, and is now already a grown woman, but chose to stay away from Miranda because of what Miranda has done. She might be powerful too... and far more intelligent considering she's also link to the megamycete...
Just imagine if Eva actually became a bigger protagonist against Miranda hahahah
@@sofiavienderoxastiongson2354 Just like how Manuela rebelled again Hidlago?
I thought the megamycyete thrived or wanted the energy from a grieving parent. Or maybe wanted to help them. That’s why mother Miranda and Ethan where as powerful. When he thought his girl was lost it activated to its full strength. The megamycete betrayed Miranda after she was taking someone daughter.
I don't think some cave fungus really cares about terms like family, or daughter.
@@theblackbaron4119 I mean I wouldn't be surprised if it's more than just some fungus
@@theblackbaron4119 and I don’t think some cave fungus is going to bond with a human host be able to revive them and store the memories of dead humans and be able reincarnate dead babies by sacrificing another baby. I also don’t think a cave fungus will give you the ability to turn into flies, a weird humanoid dragon that can change its form to a 9 foot human woman while maintaining the same mass.
Mother Miranda is probably my favourite character in Village! I also like that as an RE villain, she's not trying to control the world (although maybe that was her plan for Eva?) with some virus or destroy everything, she actually has a kinda human motivation for what she's doing (she's still pretty evil with all her experiments, but the fact that she was motivated by the loss of her child is a bit more humanizing!)
Plus she has an amazing design, interesting abilities and the vocal performance by Michelle Lukes is perfect!!! (I REALLY hope we see some more of her via DLC!)
It's a pity that Miranda didn't accept Eveline. They both just wanted a family SO MUCH. It would have saved a lot of lives if they could have just been one crazy family in a cave and left everyone else alone.
Also, anyone else think that maybe Heisenberg is part of the reason Miranda lost her powers? I can absolutely see him pulling a Kimblee and just refusing to be absorbed into the hivemind to fuck with Miranda one more time.
I'm inclined to believe the theory she stayed as Mia for as long as she did because she grew fond of Ethan, rose and the home life she weaseled her way into. I wish we could have known more of Miranda and her life before she became a nutcase
Miranda shapeshifting into a murder of ravens reminds me much of the Mórrigan from celtic mythology. I loved Miranda as a villain, though there are a lot of things that didn't make sense about her plan, but ok.
Miranda's a great villain. Ethan was right about her, ultimately. The person she became after Eva died isn't capable of real love.
I feel so bad for all of Miranda's victims, but the biggest is Eveline and the Bakers. Eveline was created to eventually become somebody else. She was a child who was treated like a monster all her life, and never knew what it was like to be loved. I don't blame her for becoming so sadistic and twisted. The Bakers (except maybe the brother) were good people who suffered as a result of everything done to Eveline as well.
I think that's why Eveline told Ethan the truth about his body--she might resent Ethan for his part in her death, but I think she hated Miranda more. I think she was hoping to spur Ethan on just long enough to kill her.
I'm glad you covered Mother Miranda. She honestly earned a special place on my favorite RE villains.
You're welcome and thank you for watching!!!
i like how RE7/8 villains are basically heavily influenced by various horror movies and tropes.
It’s just awesome to see that Miranda was pretty much the cause of the whole resident evil franchise.
it's an interesting mystery for me how Miranda sparing Spencer from any harm, for secrecy she should killed Spencer that time, or using him as another experiment stock, she choose to be friendly with Spencer.
That's a good point, maybe she saw something in him during his visit that she sparred him compared to the other Villagers
Or maybe monsters just like the company of other monsters…..lol
@@geminihero that too you can tell she knew he had something in him she knew how smart he was to understand her experiments which he took inspiration from in his future projects. I always saw Lady D as inspiration for the tyrant series tall with claws and regenerative capabilities I knew he wanted something of the sort as he was obsessed with Human evolution.
man spencer had made all kinds of connections over the years hes really the main villain in resident evil if you think about it all of what happned is becuase of him.
Pretty much he had his hands all overs the place in terms of creating new variants from the progenitor virus.
@@HeYDeVuH yeah even after his down fall long ago there still having to clean up some of his leftovers
What really bugs me about the cadeau "parasite" is the fact that it is by definition not a parasite. A parasitic relationship implies that only one party benefits off of the relationship living off the host to the detriment of its existence. Mutual benefit is a symbiosis no matter how minor it is. There's a second type of symbiosis or would you rather say it's not parasitic but only one party befits while the host at least has no downside to it. Like clownfish living in an anamone. Or certain fish hiding inside of sea cucumbers.
I like to think that it was the part of Eveline that lived in Ethan that took Miranda's powers away. As much as Rose is oh-so-powerful, she's a baby and pretty incapable of reason, while Eve is skilled at controlling the mold. That'd also be in character for her, Rose is as much her daughter biologically as Mia's and Ethan's so it'd make sence for her to protect the family she always wanted (in face, her pep talk to Ethan already speaks to that).
Isn't the village suffering from Spanish flu at the time that her daughter died from the same disease? I think you missed that part on her diary.
I think that the Spanish flu was still rampant in the village when she gained power from the megamycete.
And that it is a perfect opportunity for her to start her plan to find the suitable vessel for Eva. And after getting the villagers cured of the Spanish flu, that is the beginning of her cult and that Christianity was abandoned by the villagers as she is now what they consider as their god.
More like a prophet.
The 'Spanish flu' might have been caused by the Megamycete with the purpose of finding compatible hosts.
Valkyrie got the g@y flu 😆
I'm happy to see more long-form content. I know it's a lot of work, but you're doing a great job
I appreciate your kind words, It takes me so long to make these and I didn't sleep till 1am just to help finish the editing
I really wish they showed exactly when and how Miranda took over Mia’s life. Like obviously it was after rose was born but how did she take her to that village and replace her without Ethan noticing
I personally think that Mother Miranda was full of herself and thinking Ethan wouldn't even come close to her. Villains like her are big narcissists. I also think that with Mia captured, she could have possibly wanted more baby "test subjects" with Ethan, hence the little happy family routine. It's crazy, I didn't even think about all the plot matters. I just enjoyed the game. I don't remember the antagonists name, but could you do a video on the butcher character found on the outskirts of the village. I am not exactly sure how much information there is on him thought. My all time favorite villain is William Birkin, I battled him when I was 11, left nightmares in my mind for years, battling Mother Miranda at 34 is a little different. Great content!
Thank you and its true what you said that she does come off as narcissistic. Another person commented that it was weird that she transformed into the old lady and talked about herself.
@@HeYDeVuH Not just talking about herself she was actually praying to herself when you leave the castle and you meet her in that cave area she's saying her own prayer!! When he got revealed in game that it was her that was the one thing that popped out my head was if that doesn't scream narcissist I don't know what does It's one thing to talk about yourself It's a whole other when you're praying to yourself or would that technically be considered worshiping yourself
It was incredibly easy for me to totally forget about MM while playing this game XD It felt like the other antagonists had the focus while she was in the background
3:46 "If." "If?!" It sounds like Miranda was doing a ALL OF THIS on a wish, hope, and a prayer. I mean, I don't blame her for. She was suffering from thr death of her daughter, so she probably wasn't thinking straight. A part of me likes to believe Eva, for what ever reason, wasn't in the megamycete. Yes, Miranda had her DNA to give those scientists. But did the megamycete ever have Eva's consciousness, her "soul?" I feel like if Miranda's plan did "succeed," she would have gotten a copy of Eva. But considering all she's done to get to this point, I think she won't mind either way.
Yes, Eva's consciousness is in there. Her diary directly tells us that the megamycete absorbs the consciousness of those who died regardless if infected or not. Eva died in the village and the megamycete is near the village so everyone that died there is somehow absorbed by the megamycete. The mold from the megamycete acts as its extension so that it can absorb consciousness even in as far as america. That's why we see Eveline in Ethan's consciousness even though she died in Louisiana
Mother Miranda seems more tragic than anything
Like Oswald say you are trying to bring back one person, I believe this desire this obsession led her to become crazy.
Yes her longing for her daughter and having that goal of reviving her became twisted
Just wanted to say you have created some really really good content sir...ended up binge watching most of your vids lol..interesting and well produced, I hope you channel continues to grow..
Thank You very very much, I'm happy you enjoyed several more of my videos. Again thank you for your kind words and much more to come
idk why, but i laughed at 24:24 Miranda turns around and sees a headless Ethan and makes that comment xD
I think also that Mia is another “special case”. When Chris rescued her she said that she was being experimented by Miranda and she seems to be totally fine before the explosion.
17:24, the detail here is very well thought out. It has been studied that crows have fantastic speech mimicry capabilities so the idea of this crow that is clearly closely associated to/controlled by Mother Miranda sounding like Rose is most likely intentional.
28:51 Probably her sadistic way of tormenting Ethan who in her warped mind had stolen her daughter.
Miranda’s grief was worse than Wandas jeez.. her grief spanned over a 100 years. You would think that long she would realize what she was doing was futile and senseless. Destroying countless innocent people, families, mothers, daughters, would bear some hint of semblance to how she lost her daughter. I wonder if the MEGAMYCETE corrupted her mind, just like the Darkhold did to Wanda? Did the Mold fill her with darkness to the point where she doesn’t feel empathy or a sense of morality? I’m curious about that.
24:29 "Your body certainly isn't normal." Really? What gave it away? The fact that you literally ripped his heart out, or that he HAS NO HEAD?
Has anyone noticed at 10:52 when Ethan is approaching mother Miranda he has no head lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wish they would have done more with the old lady. She's probably the creepiest thing in the game and leading up to release I was ready for her to be like a boss fight or something. And then she's apparently just Miranda messing with you or whatever. Probably the most disappointing part of the whole game for me is the old lady not being an enemy.
I loved this character of Mother Miranda so much!! she exhales this super powerful, scary and strategist villain essence!! I love her backstory as she is kinda behind some of the things that happened in other games and as she is one of the oldest characters here.
I just think that obsession of having her daughter back was kinda out of controul, like I can't imagine what is to a mother losting her child, but this went out of controul, she did a lot of things and experiments and so many years have passed, she could've handled her feelings like a normal person, but of course the megamycete turned her into this psycho witch with that obsession.
concluding she was a great character and I wish we could see more of her!
Ethan: Chris, take Rose!
Chris: I promise you Ethan, Rose will master my Boulder Punching Style...
Ethan: NOOOO
LOL Ethan did say to teach her to be strong hahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I am dead now!! OMG (or OMMM(Mother 🤣Miranda) that comment needs to be the top spot #1 best comment of the week! 🤣
I mean I would to punch a boulder
Chris: She will help me to convince Leon to marry my sister! FOR THE REDFIELD LINEAGE!
miranda #1 for me 😍 i fell in love with her after village. her aesthetics and powers are everything
I preferred her with her look that had her mask on and a hood made of feathers. It just looks more better and seems to fit her since she doesn't show her real face for a long time, taking shapes as others, and surrounded by dead as a symbol of the crows.
i think the reason mother miranda didn't take rose in the first place is that she was also studying Ethan and his environment. since Ethan winter is a special kind of mold compare to in RE7.
I hope the RE4 remake will give more connection between Umbrella, Mother Miranda's cult and Los Illuminados, along with the connections
That'd be pretty cool, because I can see some mirroring scenarios between the two RE games. Both set in an undisclosed remote Village, Both had Cult leaders using a form of Bioweapon, Both had that huge castle area, and so much more.
Miranda is mostly another one of RE's mustache soothing villains. Sometimes in a good way. Other times in a bad way.
Do you think maybe the minds of all the people who had died and were absorbed into the megamycte decided that was the perfect time to get revenge on Miranda and ban together to weaken her at the end. As revenge for getting murdered and experimented on and absorbed into one big hive mind.
That could be the case, because it was stated that the Megamycete absorbed the consciousness of people so it would make sense that finally ot was time to rebel against Mother Miranda.
Ethan might be the weakest r.e character but his death was still sad and his character still good despite it's flaws
I don't think he's "weak" he has clear motivations and personality, just as single minded as previous player characters. The switch to first person from third person brings some upsides and downsides. There are only so many hand gestures and animations you can do while looking through Ethan's eyes. If you look at Leon in third person it's so much more you can see, his idle animations, a more movie like 3rd person observer view when he's fighting in cutscenes with Krauser. I think Ethan is exactly what he was needed for.
Dude put his hand back on after it was severed.
@@kemistree. and his jacket sleeve grew back too 😭😭
Something has just occurred to me, when rose is taken back out the cradle, who exactly is taken out? Was it rose, Eva or Eveline?
It's Rose but Mother Miranda initially thought it was Eva
@@HeYDeVuH what if eveline is revived and mother miranda doesnot realize it. And the future rose is actually eveline who thinks she is rosemary??
Excellent video. Nice spooky vibe and completely factual. Also enjoyed the free cam scenes. Great job dude
You're very very welcome and thank you so much!!!
did she never consider the possibility of her daughter not bring interested in a life based on the death and torture of hundreds of innocent people?
She’s already shown to be an extreme narcissist with the old lady, so she probably only ever saw other people as lab rats
headcanon of that time Miranda pretending to be Mia
Miranda: "baby Rose, I will have all time in world with you.... later, for now I will take your father for me, darling...!"
100 % CANON
BASED AND REDPILLED
I want a crossover game with Rose, Natalia, Moira and Sherry. Maybe even Jake. A Resident Evil Legacy game.
Thank you for such a long video. Under quarantine so I love the entertainment.
You're welcome and thanks for watching!!!
Some people say Miranda and Spencer knowing each other is shoehorned in but I think it can be believable. Spencer was still a character that was in the shadows and they didn't reveal absolutely everything about him in Resident Evil 5. I know it can feel tagged on since they weren't thinking ahead but it doesn't hurt to add more lor to Spencer especially before he made umbrella.
I liked Miranda as a villain but I easily would've chose Lady Dimitrescu as the main villain since I found her way more interesting.
That male form of Miranda and it having a Dragon form is really interesting, I'm glad they gave it to Alcina instead.
What keeps it from being believable and in fact being shoehorned in is that we barley know anything about her we get all of one game to believe that this chick had hands in molding one of the most evil and prolific organizations that the entirety of Resident Evil universe is built around.
@@windandcloudshadow158 Exactly. Capcom just needs to stop trying to have everything tie in with Umbrella. It’s unfortunate we never got a proper conclusion to that storyline but it’s far too late at this point and the best thing for the franchise going forward is to stop bringing Spencer,Wesker, and Umbrella into the plots.
@@mtb5431 Agreed, Miranda would've been fine if she was just a random villain trying to get what she wants instead they had to give her ties to the originals in a way that just had way to many plot holes.
@@windandcloudshadow158 It feels shoehorned in because of how isolated Village is, I do hope they'll make more lor to make Miranda's connection to Spencer better but I do see what people mean.
Yeah for me I don't care. The fact that we got more lore for Spencer is enough for me. And I like the idea that someone pushed him and inspired him to become even more evil
22:00 Ethans disbelief after all he's been through seemed kinda weird here, he's had limbs reattached and fully functional in seconds seen people have chunks of their heads blown off to regenerate like it never happened and he's surprised that his daughter can be restored to her original form?
It's easy to compartmentalize things, especially after trauma. The Baker Incident traumatized him. One of the DLCs to add RE7 content into REVillage was called the "Trauma Pack".
Also, they had Rose tested again and again and were told that she was "normal". So, to him, in his gasping moment of feverish panic, he's going through confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance, the latter of which is not a state that the mind can exist in perpetually. Ethan wants to believe that his daughter can be saved but he doesn't want to admit that this means she's "different" or "changed". Also, he's trying to process all this while dealing with mortal peril from inhuman creatures. He's got no time to mentally or emotionally process anything.
Out of all the women villains in the Resident Evil series, like Dr. Marcus's Queen Leech, Alexia Ashford, Excella Gionne, Alex Wesker, Clara Radames, Marguerite Baker, Eveline, Alcina "Lady" Dimitrescu, and Donna Beneviento, Mother Miranda is the best of them all a true villain, who committed so many atrocities to the citizens of her own village, all in an attempt to resurrect her own child Eva whom she lost over 100 years ago, you did an amazing job covering everything Mother Miranda did in her real long life, I really am impressed HeY DeVuH and I look forward to who you want to cover next ✌️
Calm down
Another awesome high quality doco from Hey Duvah, always makes my day to watch what you've put together, a thoroughly enjoyable watch, kinda makes me think if The Family from Resi 6 and The Connections from Resi 7 are somehow involved with each other, and I do think about the epilogue of village and think it does kinda make sense that rose ages at an accelerated rate, and it's funny and interesting that Blue Umbrella is attempting to make amends like bad guy going good, and now the BSAA are apparently the big bad... What a switch around! So yeah been thinking bout all that stuff for awhile now, anyway, Take care Hay Duvah hope you have a good day
I knew he was not a villain Chris I knew when I first saw that something had to have been going on I thought he was actually mind-controlled
I thought at first he was being controlled in some way as well
@@HeYDeVuH exactly
I can’t be the only one that didn’t realize the Ethan model doesn’t have a head…. XD
I'd like to imagine the reason Miranda didnt want Ethan near her while she was cooking is because one day Ethan slapped her butt playfully thinking that was his wife.
She’s definitely near the bottom for me when it comes to ranking main antagonists. Problem with Mother Miranda is she barely has any presence throughout the game and compared to past RE villains, just doesn’t have anything to make her memorable. I’d say she’s above Simmons and the guy from Rev1 on the villains tier but that’s it.
More of a Silent Hill villain then a Resident Evil one.
@@windandcloudshadow158 That too. Also just loathed Capcom trying to sell that a character we’re only just now meeting was supposedly responsible for the formation of Umbrella. It’s just beyond lazy
She has about the same amount of presence as any other RE villains except for Wesker since he spans over couple of games.
The only difference was that her presence was in a form of someone else rather than her true self.
@@zeroskaterz92 Not really she just appeared in village and they to connected her to 7 in so dumb way.
@@zeroskaterz92 As an impactful villain... no she really didn’t and her severe lack of screen time is a large reason why.
So it was rose taking her powers way so her dad can kill her. Man i hope we play as rose in part 9
It seems that way, I do have a theory that I'm writing up in regards to rose
thanks for the video.its well-organized and edited.always love these videos.keep them coming👍
Thank You for watching and you're very very welcome.
How something as innocent and righteous as a mothers love could potentially be hellish….the irony.
Awesome these video's are awesome 👌 thanks so much I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into each and every video!!🙂👍👍
*videos
1:24 he looks like I'd have to battle him for a gym badge
That'd be the scariest pokemon yet lol
So? Rose died and Eva or Evaline took over? Or is it like a silent hill sorta thing where they combined?
when miranda cries out in the end i can’t help but feel terrible for her.. i don’t even know why
Real talk, miranda was cooking for ethan and popping out strong ass wine. I think she needed to make a new baby with Ethan.
I don’t know if anyone else thinks she needed more screen time because she was at the beginning at the meeting and then abruptly showed up at the end I felt that was rushed, they should have had her show up as herself or in a way speak and interact with Ethan, like how Heisenberg when after you defeat Moreau and getting his flash and his section
Yeah it would have been great to see her more throughout the game, also I want to know and want to see how she kidnapped Mia and her plans prior to going into the Winters Household
Presence wise she's there the whole time. But, under a disguise(the hag, mia and crows) sure but still I think it counts
Mother Miranda is very crazy. Her powers is very cool. Good work on the video.
all ethan had to do was offer her to make a new baby with her with the same bloodline:P
Mother Miranda reminds me of the Evil Queen from The Snow White and the Huntsman played by Charlize Theron.
While you explained everything, I was just enjoying and reminiscing over the gorgeous RE1 remake save theme. RE1 remake was truly a remarkable game and one of the best games ever made.
Yes it's very nostalgic and a great soundtrack overall.
What if the next game, the big baddie is Rose, she somehow got destabilize/mentally deterioted for some reason (probably because she found out that she's not Ethan and Mia's daughter but rather Ethan and mother Miranda's!, And she finally figured out why Mia kinda loathed her, even though she's supposed to be her mother) when rose deterioted, we found out that she's the 'catalogue' of the mold that Mother Miranda had been talking about, so in her breakdown she unleashes the entire catalogue of the mold, bringing back the entire monstrosity of the mold, resulting in the rebirth of the previous baddie, like lady dimitrescue, beneviento, heisenberg, moireu, the lycans and even Ethan (but in a mutated state, where he could never dies, like when the protagonist cuts of his limb, the bits of said limbs then acts on it's own attacking the antagonist through out the game).
Idk lmaoo, it's just my 3am imagination.
dude its just a game!!! you sound like youre treating it as reality .... absolutely chilling
Here's the thing tho, no one explained why eveline was a defect? She was right around the perfect age and could control the mold which her and Miranda could do together? Someone please explain
It was her obsession for a family that made her unstable. She would just kidnap any random person and claim that their part of her Family
@@HeYDeVuH thank you so much for explaining!!!! It means alot that you pay attention to the comments on your videos! I literally watched so so many videos and no one was explaining why!!! Youre awesome! Def subscribing!!!
@@HeYDeVuH, but in the end of RE 7 we find out Eveline is actually the old lady. She isn't perfect because even though she could control the mold, using its powers made her age too quickly. Using the mold's illusionary abilities to make her look still young isn't as effective as making herself actually young, which she couldn't do. Dying of "old age" at around 20 isn't exactly what Miranda, an immortal woman, would want for her child. That's why Alcina was the closest to being a perfect vessel before Rose, she achieved immortality. Alcina's only flaw was her blood disease, which the cadou turned into a thirst for blood.
Eveline had to take medication to slow down her aging process
In 7 she went from 10 to 90 in like a few month
@@graaau4582 I played the game multiple times and don't remember hearing about that. Thank you!
On a whole other note, Michelle Lukes did an ASTOUNDING job voicing her, especially here: 23:55
I kind of feel bad for her I feel like she didn’t mean to do things in a bad way on purpose she really just missed her daughter
It seemed like she took pleasure in her power and the fact the she had basically become a demigod. She was a terrible person to her core whether or not she initially started out that way.
I agree with what you said, I think initially all she wanted was just to get her Daughter back but in the process was corrupted from all the knowledge from the Megamycete and its powers.
I feel like no matter how much content I watch I'll never know the full story until I play the game.
What I really liked was that Mother Miranda and Ethan were quite similar in that they desperately wanted to get their child back, being willing to sacrifice almost anything to save their child. It makes me wonder what Ethan would have done if he was in Mirandas position. Would he be willing to sacrifice innocent lives to bring back Rose?
24:30
Seeing that he has no head, yeah.
Amazing content, keep up the good work mate
Thank You very very much!!!
15:36 was funny as hell she went from 😐to💢 and yeeted tf out of that table
I feel like mother Miranda is an interesting character but I don't think it was necessary for Spencer to get inspiration from her as direct as it was presented in the story imo
I still think wesker would solo the entire resident evil village villians. If she did work with spencer wesker probably would of went after her.
