Okay you all remember the Tyrant from the Resident Evil series. The final boss, of the first game, the wall to wall Mr. X's of the second game, the final Wesker of the third game, and of course Chris freind, from the fourth game. Then of course the teenagers from the guncon gaiden.

So the Tyrant for some reason has been seen in various videogame college commercials. One of such has the tyrant running backwards, and then falling, another one is the tyrant talking to a Metal Gear/Splinter cell cop-off. and more recently the one in the advertisment on this website.

Has it just crossed your mind, everywhere you look you see Tyrant. The most big bad boss and triumpth of Umberlla/Capcom being abused, and morphed over and over again. I understand that in horror films you see that sorta stuff all the time, and various games, but it seems kind of over done.

I know in these commercials it is sappose to be a classical big dumb character, but I am tired of it. It is even more annoying then that commercial with the man playing a monkey game, and then acting like an ape, or the elderly phone commercial.

It's not as offensive as the SD Lucifeller.

I have never seen a Tyrant in an advertisement, anywhere. I don't understand what this post is even about.
