Is the Resident Evil franchise doomed forever?

[jamesmarkus87]

Ways to improve the Resident Evil franchise:
1) Stop shoving the boring, annoying and steroid-addicted Chris Redfield down my throat. In fact, just kill him off.
2) Hand the franchise over to a better company than Capcom.
3) Stop turning all of your strong female characters into damsels in distress (eg. Claire and, to an even larger extent, Jill).
4) Make the franchise scary again.
5) Perhaps it's time to move on from Umbrella and the T-Virus (and all of its variations) once and for all.
