-What makes Resident Evil so interesting, in comparison to all other zombie fiction, is that it never goes the route of a zombie apocalypse. Each game is focused on small(ish) localized outbreaks which are quickly(ish) contained. Civilization as a whole is rarely at risk in Resident Evil...and most of life goes on as normal. The closest RE has ever gotten to a zombie apocalypse was in Resident Evil 6, followed by Resident Evil 2. I mean, outbreaks are so uncommon that the same group of people keeps appearing to deal with them and even the average SWAT officer/soldier seems incapable of fighting BOWs, indicating that outbreaks really are rare.\\  On top of that, almost everything in the franchise ends on an optimistic note. There is always the hope that this will be the last outbreak and that the world will, ultimately, be fine. The only two exceptions I can think of are Marhawa Desire, where the Main Character's life is essentially changed forever and Resident Evil Damnation. The latter, however, was leading directly into Resident Evil 6 and the pessimistic ending was a really big deal.\\  That optimism is great for another reason: as pointed out by [[playground:the 4th snake]], this means that if Resident Evil ever ends...we can rest easy knowing that the characters we love will be fine.\\  There is a slight snag in RE's optimism though...there are basically zero cures for any of the diseases that exist. So while there's always hope the world will be fine...the diseases themselves are quite deadly and every character infected will remain infected.
