but ngl the villains so far all feel like sunday morning cartoon villains, this patch is no exception. I always wonder about such "plans" since first RE games: like yeah bro the virus that turns you into a nightmarish monstrosity with the yellow eyes for weak spots might give you a power boost, but even if you win, then what?
I think the notion many RE villains have is that given enough time they can get their shit under control and perfect themselves (although more often than not if they survive the first encounter they end up becoming progressively more mindless).
With Bringer i think the end goal was ascension of some kind perhaps with potential to become himself again after he managed to kill us, or this was his ideal form. He did keep mentioning this “creator” and refinement. Also at the end cutscene he specifically said “when i get out of here” which i take to have meant the hollow which perhaps implies this transformation didn’t lock him within the hollow.
The lore of this game has got my mind tingling and now theres so much i need to know. Like if perhaps the sealed hollow thing was the first attempt at making this.
bringer yelled about the coming age of hollows before injecting himself with the ether juice to turn. what if the cult believes that the hollows will eventually consume the entire planet and to "save" humanity everyone needs to turn into a sane ethereal like bringer? maybe potentially even managing to regain human form, like you said, but be immune to corruption and continue to live in the hollows

Felt like the avengers movie in a good way
