How is Jill still alive?

[Karosu-Maker]

How can Jill be still alive after all this happening to her?

Only from things that happened in cinematics, not gameplay.

-Full force kick from Nemesis direct to her torso (At least some internal bleeding and broken ribs)

-All the times Nemesis has her by the head and toss her around instead of crushing her skull or neck.

-Falling from the last floor of a parking lot in a car.

-Receiving the impact of rocket from Nemesis' rocket launcher directly on her back.

-Receiving the explosion of a second rocket that explodes at less than two feets from her tossing her in the air.

-Not having her legs crushed by the power of the rail gun even when the stone floor under feets cracks DBZ style.

These are just the ones that came to me from the back of my mind. If you remember any other, please, add it to the list!

Just from cinematics, gameplay damage has a pass.

It's Jill, boss of all bosses.

It's funny, I almost feel relieved for her when she gets infected and passes out for like a day and half in the hospital. Jill needed that sleep after the night she had with Nemesis!

Besides the action-movie logic of it all, I imagine she is:
1. Very fit and well-trained.
2. Running on pure adrenaline.
3. Probably on some sort of drugs judging from her nightstand collection in her apartment.

Or, if you want wild conspiracy theories:
Jill is supposed to be resistant to the T-Virus - the games allude to this all the time. The fact that she can get a super dose of the T-Virus injected right into her blood stream and not turn for over a day is proof enough of that.

But maybe all the little bites and nibbles she has received, coupled with the T-Virus from Nemesis, and the vaccine she got injected with lets her regenerate her cells on an advanced level (like with the zombies and T-Virus), but not mutate or die.

My favorito is no. 3.

Sometimes it looks more like another Die Hard movie than classic Resident Evil.

I don't think even John McClane could take this much.

I don't understand why Jill is still in one piece when so many rockets exploded near her through out the game. It is like she is actually tougher than Nemesis.

Because it's a very realistic game. They didn't make all those changes to her outfit and face for nothing.

[哦？]

Just a heroine like heroXD.

Yeah, Jill's ultra-realistic appearance doesn't gel with the outrageous damage she experiences. I was expecting to see her bones break and stick out when the car crashed to the ground.

Yeah, I think a skirt should have been the least of their problems if they wanted "realism"

I seriously thought I did something wrong and it was a "You're dead" scenario.

Yeah it's actually almost funny the only thing that actually incapacitates her is getting stuck with a little needle that infects her. When a Rocket just wont do the job. Nemesis is also stupidly durable in this game as well though. In every other RE game Rockets blow up final boss enemies. But Nemesis just grabs one rocket an throws it away then lets the next one hit him just to prove how manly he is, and only gets knocked out for a bit.
