The licker that scuttles over the window in resident evil two still makes me jump every time I see it
Same
ya those things really crppeye me out
They did something similar in the beginning of the hellfire scenario in outbreak file 1. Subtle and didn't cue any camera change so it was that much better.
Specially in my dream.
@@PackRunner3 Nah the one in Outbreak was too slow it ruined the element of surprise. The version in RE2 was a "blink and you'll miss it" scene. You think you saw something move but you're not really sure because it was really fast that you think it was just your eye playing tricks on you.
If Pinhead from HELLRAISER had a pet dog, this would be one of them.
Heck yeah LOL
So accurate 😂 that concept art would be dope
He did have a pet dog..... hellraiser 4:bloodline
If pinhead have a minion he would have nemesis
His other pet is scp-939
The beta licker can be easily distinguished from a standard licker due to the Beta licker having a thick uniform neck that seems to connect with the top of the head while the standard licker (In RE2 remake and original) has a more humanoid neck
3:59 "In 2009, Tricell was producing a cloned version of the Lickers."
*Yes, yes we were.*
Ok trincel
But they can reproduce offspring
I always loved the lickers design ever since I was a kid, they look like carnage
Dude your right never saw them like that. My favorite villian
The Evolved Licker is already included in the original Resident Evil 2. ;)
Oh boy now I've that to look forward to fucking thanks.
ProtoTyrant82 I hope evolved lickers would appear in resident evil 3 remake due being absent in resident evil 2 remake for unknown reason
“As well of giving them the ability to reproduce”
R34: Hippity Hoppity, this is now my property
Aw shit, he we go agian.
There's a hentai comic about it
@@oaksynia7353 wtf
@@oaksynia7353Oh yeah Double Deck Made nasty work on the female licker . Would read again.
I'm surprised they never did like an intelligent Licker, like a Licker King or Licker Alpha.
Like, imagine running through an Umbrella Lab, running into all these different Licker variants.
And then you find one that's standing upright, and talks. And all the Lickers in the facility obey his commands.
Bonus points if he has a cool deep voice or English accent!
Much like Alien Queen (Xenomorph) Licker King 👑 ♂️ is the most powerful and largest creature, ability to outsmart and overpower other Tyrants or any skilled humans
Better yet, He can be reasoned with and actually bails survivors out.
Also, there's the Regis Licker from Outbreak whose name literally means King/Queen Licker and could call upon other Lickers to help her.
Creepy, and disgusting looking. I almost find it difficult to believe these were once Human, which wasn't my initial thought, because I only saw them on fours. But it wouldn't be the same without them.
This brings me back to my PS1 days... crushing.
OKC Bear oh yeah!
Was Leon immune to E virus? Was he ever immune to any of the viruses? Cause lickers straight up avoided him...he would stand his ground and ready to kill them at any moment. But did he gain an ability to control them?
There Blind in the Movie he was not the target. Except the one part where the one was commanded to jump on him.
Probably my favorite Resident Evil non-boss monster. Thanks for covering them!
I agree 💯
"As well as giving them the ability to reproduce."
*Cringes in rule 34*
I want to say don't give ideas but I'm sure I'm far to late.
@@shadow3675 aight.....time to commission the Artis.......for art stuff.......
True, they can breed offsprings like rabbits
@@shadow3675Search up that one comic from Double Deck about the Female Licker.
The Licker in the first RE film was an Advanced Licker. A larger, faster & more aggressive version of the Lickers. And of course Uber Lickers are even more advanced. Too bad we saw little to nothing done with the badass massive Uber Lickers.
Getting ready for work, see this..ok, gonna burn 7 more minutes 😂
wtf I’m doing the exact same thing lol
The “E” virus. Markiplier and Farquaad like this video!
E
Hey, wanna make videos about Netflix's Dark?
I will eventually! Thanks
FilmComicsExplained hell yeah
The inverted licker scared the hell out of me when I first played resident evil outbreak 😂
Classic resident evil creature .
Haha, "big thanks to all who requested that we explore the lickers" 😂
I love FilmComics so much it’s just incredibly fun listening to all these different things especially viruses get broken down
Word 👍
This thing in one of the covers of the orignal RE2 had gave me nightmares by that alone. My young mind couldn't comprehend how such grotesque thing could possibly exist, with its sticky brain & muscles all exposed & the pain that could've been on a normal human being...
Minor mistakes.
There is no 'E-Virus': merely a strain of the T-Virus named 'epsilon'.
And the lickers you showed for the Licker-Betas were from RE2 Remake, which were, in fact, just the normal lickers. Licker-Bs only appeared in Resident Evil 5 and RE Degeneration, although the latter had Plaga implanted in their brains.
Good vid, just minor nitpicky mistakes.
@Billy William Usually plagas are divided into 2 sub-species, dominant and submissive. A host can be implanted with a dominant plaga that enables them to control the lesser plaga at will. This is explored in RE4 and the animated film RE Degeneration. It allows for any plaga compatible Bio-Organic Weapon to be more effectively controlled.
Minor minor mistake: the licker betas were in Damnation not Degeneration.
If we wanna get more nitpicky the Epsilon strain never created Lickers, it created Crimsom Heads while the perfected T-Virus was the one that created them.
Yeah, I'm not sure why an "E-Virus" was put in the thumbnail. I even wondered to myself "Did I overlook a file, or an entire game, what's going on here??"
When are you gonna cover Parasyte?
It's one of my fav. manga
In time. I have over 3,000 suggestions on the list to get through! :P
Ohh good luck then XD
The manga is great and I find it more engaging than the anime tbh
I love this franchise❤️
Same but 5 and 6 just need some work
@@ahardworker2154
Im glad Capcom is going back to thier RE roots.
Nothing more horrifying than hearing "They can reproduce"
In the first movie they show umbrella injecting the T-Virus directly into a rabbit. I always told myself the Lickers came from fluffy bunnies.
Lickers (Damnation) could make greater pets than as enemies from Resident Evil games and CGI films
They’re literally just a human but their skin is inside out.
Yeah, and more animalistic.
And blind
With a long tongue
And a bigger hands
@@nathalie2682
😏
evolved lickers were also in RE2 1998 in the B scenario if you used the anti B.O.W gas in scenario A. Love your vids and hope you eventually do more RE and Left 4 Dead explained videos!
1:51 hey it's that dancing chill licker from that one video 😂
Excellent resident evil video dude! 👍
Imagine combining the lockers that were able to reproduce with the evolved lickers
I meant lickers not lockers
@@xaviersosa4410 oh
Keep up the good Work!👍😁
The evolved lickers were actually in the original RE2. And the upside down licker is called the Regis Licker.
Just a heads up , the name of this creature will get the vid flagged . It's happened more then a few times when someone's covered it .
Incredible hearing, has no ears.
Some lizards have incredible hearing, and no lizard has ears.
Those lumps of malformed cartilage on the sides of your head aren't what you hear with, it's some bone pieces in the flesh of the hole.
@@nullpoint3346 yes I'm aware of that, but the things with the best hearing usually have something to pickup as much sound as possible, like an owl doesn't have ears but but still has sound catching discs. Ultimately it's a fucking zombie and doesn't matter lol
@@loodlebop some animals just have literal holes.
In this fantasy world apparently they have holes or something like it and that's well enough to hear incredibly.
It's a video game franchise, don't take it so seriously.
@@KingNexusMOCs these points have been mare already but yeah
most of the human ear is useless skin and unusable muscles, residues from past evolutionary stages, but yeah, they'v should of added a design feature on the lickesr that empathized their great hearing, maybe long floppy tissues of flesh hanging for the sides of the head that extend or open when they listen to something, membranes similar to the ones the dilophosarus on from jurassic par has.
the fact that the lickers are mutated humans and not grown from scratch in a lab makes them more horrifying.
The scariest part is knowing these used to be people that YOU could become this monster
Great channel top quality video
One of my favourite monsters that will always scare the hell out of me, also dark crystal next?
I wonder if dog whistles could deter lickers.
in my opinion these are the scariest monsters in RE I would never want to run into one of these 😳
Seeing lickers standing up straight is somewhat disturbing.
Licker: exists
Me: 6 FEET AWAY
*insert infinite rockets rocket launcher*
The other licker i never knew that exists: boo
Damnation, the best movie out of the CG animation series.
And my personal favorite Resident Evil movie ever.
@MinutemanSam the third film was titled, Resident Evil Vendetta.
Was waiting for you to mention something about their distended exterior brains. It's a kind of non-sensical feature.
they don't attack you in the RE2 remake if you don't aggro them they said, they're not dangerous if you don't shoot them first they said.
If it was even remotely possible to create a licker we would all be dead and the licker shall inherit the earth .. still my favourite creature though
I just recently had surgery and I’ve watched the virus series around twice now so it’s so good to get new ones!
I know this is old but hope you recovered well and if you still are recovering i hope you recover well
The only reason, why there are so many of them is, because someone couldn't hold their licker :>
It's sad that the alpha licker was only seen in the comic
Dang..all this time I thought they were mutated rabbits😭😭😭 great video!!
2:32, that thing is very freaky looking, and when I first saw this creature in Resident Evil, I said, Jesus Christ, what is that!?😱
I did the American which ended with me dying
Never play the games while on acid. So scary.
Imagine a Licker vs a Xenomorph, who would win?
My money's on the Xeno
A xenomorph
Xeno ezpz
Xeno
I rather pick the xenomorph one thing acid blood a sharp tail inter jaw
No mention of the Crimson Heads being a potential prior stage?
That thing has bigger brain than mine...
I’m so happy that he finally did a licker video. The Lickers are my favorite monster in resident evil and maybe my favorite zombie of all time.
Are lickers Zombies ?
@ He turned into a zombie I would assume so. The zombies in resident evil came from the T virus and the Lickers are also from the T virus not the G virus. So I guess. I mean I always think they were zombies but I guess some people might not.
@@bradleyhall5847 but technically it isn't a zombie 🧟♂️🧟 . Sure it's mutated from a human but a zombie is a reanimated human corpse without a heartbeat ( clinically dead ) and thus has a human body design because a zombie is technically a human but licker though made from a human being has its body completely mutated into another kind of looking alien - like creature . A zombie doesn't have that much modified body a licker has . Though licker is infected with a zombie virus , I don't really think it's a zombie. It used to be a human but now it's not at all not even physically unlike zombie 's body .
@He turned into a zombie ya I guess so. I mean what you said is very accurate like 90-100% accurate. But I guess I’m being stubborn because I always considered Lickers as zombies for 10 years and I’m 20 so that’s half of my life. So your most likely right but I already got the habit of calling them zombie. So sorry I got a feeling I’m still going to call them zombies. Even though their not.
@@bradleyhall5847 oh you mean nostalgia 😊👍 . No problem call them zombies .
I got nostalgic after watching this video. I died so many times against the first licker you encounter in Resident Evil 2.
"Oh, boy"
You died.....
4:27 that was creepy right there!
My mom loves these kind of zombies
My favorite mutant in Resident Evil.
I agree 💯👍
As an April fools joke you should do a video on the Homer zombies from zombie land 2
What is that scene where the lickers are attacking Mr X outside from?
From the movie Resident Evil Damnation
I kinda feel bad for lickers if they dont have skin then they're probably in excruciating pain all the time due to raw muscle touching everything
Can you please explain the aliens in Battle: LA
Ooh I'd like that too!
The Blaa haha
Everytime I think of them.
I think of Mediazealot ripping them a new one
Such amazing content!! Would you mind doin a filmcomicsexplained video on “The Tall Man” from the Phantasm horror movies from the 80’s?
Las Plagas Lickers???
Lickers that could reproduce???
I've been into Resident Evil since the beginning and never knew this! Whoa!
They do, they can give birth to their young offsprings
"Its most distinguishing characteristic is its lance like tongue, capable of piercing a human torso in an instant. We have tentatively named this creature "The Licker" and are currently in the process of developing countermeasures to deal with this new threat."
Operation report 1.
Will you do an exploration on Alex Wesker and The Hunter?
Love your vids keep it up man! 😊💪
I remember seeing the licker in the original resident evil 2 for the first time. Holy smokes those things were scary!
I've always liked the way the Lickers looked.
Same scary, cool and for some people sexy
@@ahardworker2154 wait.. Sexy?! 😂
@@sonny凡 the internet is a weird and scary place
@@ahardworker2154 agreed!
Can you cover *Las Plagas* in a future video, Nia?... Many "RE" fans would love that!
Thank you... 😊
The lickers are big brain time
What is the E Virus?
To think these things might’ve been made from rabbits is frightening
Well then get the holy hand grenade
The evolved Licker were also seen in the original Resident Evil 2 in the labs. There's three of them in the location where you insert the MO disc.
To be honest the lickers are one of creepiest BOW in Resident evil it makes the tyrant look like a daisy
LMMFAO 😂 me at 2:47? “WELP Self Delete it is.
I mean, it's brain is exposed... one carefully placed bullet, or if you find yourself in reaching distance: hand in, clench, rip. Done. Risky, but it'd be my go to move if one pounced at me and I didn't have a blade or bludgeoning weapon immediately on hand..
Brighten your videos m8! Cheers 🍺🥃
What a video of william birkin from resident evil 2
"the licker" sounds too adorable or friendly for a creature manufactured for the sole purpose of tearing apart their preys.... I hear "licker" i think dog licking my face as a show of affection, not my skull after having separating it from my neck.
Please make a video about the 'las plaga'!
Can you days gone explained next.
Where did I hear as a kid that Lickers came from Rabbits? I’ve been lied to.
What is the song that you often have on your 28 days later videos not the 28 days later theme it is some other song
In Resident Evil 1 When That Licker Ate Spence It Became Bigger and Stronger On The Train It Scratched Matt On The Arm,
If You Think About It When Matt Stared To Mutate:
1. He's 20% Licker From Those 3 Scratches On His Arm
2. He Mutated Into A Super Zombie Soldier Called The Nemesis
i never heard of E virus
i know that lickers are made trough T virus infection that progresses too far, just like with crimson heads. when it comes to E strain its from resident evil 7 the little girl who was supposed to infect and take control of populations around her, with the black mold infection.
Just a lil nitpick since i know lore about resi out of my head as an old fan, otherwise your video is great, keep up the great work :)
You are completely correct, I never heard of E virus but I didnt play the RE 7 so I cant say about that. But the lickers are just zombies infected with the T-virus who took too much damage and suffered from v-act as described in RE remaster first they turn into crimson heads and the games implies that after that they turned into lickers but it's not shown in the game just talked about in files
@@vitorrossi249 yush you are right :)
Wait. Wasn't crimson head a point between zombie and licker?
Would love to see a video where you explore Grindhouse, Planet Terror and Death Proof
When will you cover Las Plagas?
A zombie becomes a crimson head before a licker
A devious lick indeed.
Love your videos! Please do the matrix movies next. Any subject you pick first would be cool really lol.
Can you look at a shark movie called Creature🐟
You should do the ginger snaps werewolves
Hey can you do a video on the C-Virus? For some odd reason this reminded me to tell you this xD
