Kinda continuing after that one ask about Ethan calcifying after he kills Miranda, I thought similarly because when Chris and his team are starting to destroy the mold you see her eyes start to drip black goo and I think she says something about her powers fading or something.

And this is why I assumed Ethan’s body was failing, because he’s been fine this whole time but as soon as the mold gets attacked he begins to fall apart, especially after his battle since the mold itself is being attacked it’s having a hard time keeping up with the repairs in Ethan’s body.

However if the mold is the source of every infected person’s power, and without it people lose their abilities, how come Rose still has hers? I think there’s 2 explanations for this

1.) (most likely) giant plot hole that Capcom didn’t consider, I mean look they literally said “oh yeah Ethan is dead and actually mold anyway bye bestie” and killed him without any explanation. I mean, they even cut out Mia’s most likely in depth analysis on Ethan’s condition which I would have loved to see?? AHH anyway I think they were so focused on Tragic Ending TM that they didn’t think all the details through

2.) maybe since the mold took so well to Ethan (literally there is no one like him, no one has been infected with this mold and still been able to stay who they truly are), maybe it separated itself in a physical manner from the original source (while still retaining the spiritual/mental properties with the mind connectiveness thing which is why he could still see and hear Eveline), and of course he might have passed this onto Rose, which then the mold took to her even more and gave her abilities and again is separate from the original mold hence why she still has her powers even after the original mold is gone

Honestly idk what the truth is and Capcom has a LOT of explaining to do either in a dlc or in RE9 or I’m calling the police lmao

Hi nonnie! I’ve been thinking about this all afternoon and every time I feel like I’m closer another question pops up. My head hurts 😆

If my memory serves me (If often doesn’t but lol here I go anyway) I thought Miranda’s eyes only start to drip that black ooze once Rose emerges. Which Capcom does zero to explain except indicate that rose may have been taking some of Miranda’s powers. Which ???? CAPCOM???? I assume we’ll get more info in re9 but hey I thought we were going to learn more about Mia in re8 and who’s the clown?

But also if I missed it, I wouldn’t be shocked as I was crying lol

My guess is Capcom is telling us that one can survive without the whole collective. Or whatever you want to call it. Because it’s hardwired into who you are. But also is easier to say because we know nothing about Roses powers except she’s very much powerful. I do think Ethan crumbles because his body is just officially done in this form (but maybe not all forms?) or that he needed more time to heal cause Jack lost his entire upper body. And because like you said they dropped this on us then dipped out five seconds later like GOOD LUCK!!!! we don’t know exactly what Ethans mold form looked like and the extent to his abilities, etc. anyway thanks Capcom. Preciate you

So while I do think Roses abilities are separate from the original site, it wouldn’t surprise me if more exists. Cause who knows. The one nice thing about knowing nothing is Capcom has room to play with it lol
