It should have because, even though the creators didn't view it that way, it's essentially zombies done right, and for military purposes no less.<br /><br />After being unable to come up with something that referenced "Umbrella" without being too obvious as, "This is Umbrella with the serial numbers gently scratched," I tried to think of something that sounded generically pharmaceutical but not so pharmaceutical that it couldn't become be big overarching "We make everything" faceless corporation I wanted it to be.<br /><br />"Unisol" did that for me. Whether or not it does that for others doesn't really matter, it's just a name, after all.<br /><br />-<br /><br />All of that said, I'm now thinking of how to incorporate the idea if the universal soldier into the emerging mythos of The Survivors. The company wouldn't like them because they're too willful. Both the good and the evil one in the original movie weren't the best at following orders, as I recall, and so would consider the experiment a failure.<br /><br />Other people, on the other hand, like say ones who had lost loved ones, would presumably see the benefit of the process.chris the cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06872875475212333027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-14483129443057992872015-02-07T12:48:51.081-05:002015-02-07T12:48:51.081-05:00Thanks.Thanks.chris the cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06872875475212333027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-2496145493371554392015-02-05T15:56:27.012-05:002015-02-05T15:56:27.012-05:00"Why Marmot?
