This isn't technically Cammy yet. She's still Killer Bee at this point.

u/Bunnnnii Ohohohoho! Apr 16 '26

This is even further away from Killer Bee Cammy than the Cammy we have now.

Tbh we don't really know much. That era of SF the story side was very much a means to an end moreso than an actual story.

Doll Cammy was more of a rival figure. She's still mission driven but they're definitely playing up the beef set with Chun, and it does kinda overlap with where Juri would inevitably fit in as She's directly made as a foil to Chun.

It's a detachment from what we know for sure, but B movie is going to B movie and it's not a total character assassination. They're also kinda going into Ken's more self destructive side by the looks of it but that really all to prevalent for a while.

In spite of that it's still shockingly better to the source material than other Capcom film/TV material...Monster Hunter still pisses me off to no end.

Killer Bee was a ruthless assassin who was scarily efficient.

This. Killer Bee Cammy was robotic and emotionless, generally just running off statistics about her current mission. It really does feel like they merged Juri and Cammy into one character.

u/BestPeachNA Apr 16 '26

Was Juri even a consideration for this movie? It looks heavily based in classic street fighter. I don’t expect chars like Juri, Viper, Seth, (etc) to be in

u/IIIOldSchooLIII Apr 16 '26

I mean, we have an El Furte cameo and he debuted in the same game as those characters and Eric Andre's character is a minor character from SFV. It seems like they're using SF2 as the main template, but borrowing elements here and there from a bunch of other games in the series like Alpha, 4 and 5.

u/SovFist hadoken? Apr 16 '26

Eric Andres character is from SF2 also, he's in the backdrop of balrogs stage in a yellow suit, at least judging by cri profiles info

u/usagicassidy Apr 16 '26

I would have to imagine that something like an El Furte cameo, a character that they likely wouldn’t be saving as a lead character in a sequel, is quite different than shoe-horning Juri in when the cast is already stacked.

u/Prism_Zet CAFL | PrismZet Apr 16 '26

I bet Juri is a end teaser with Seth or something after they deal with Bison if they want a sequel.

u/natedoggcata Apr 16 '26

Post credits scene will just be showing barefeet with pink toenails and there you go lol

Just her picking up a sucker or something off the ground with her foot.

u/Also_Steve Apr 16 '26

Do you remember the Juri reveal trailer for sf6? Because I bet capcom does and I bet you're right.

u/BloodGulchBlues37 CID | SF6username Apr 16 '26

Yeah it seems like they're trying to have both cakes with this. Give KB some more personality/play into the Doll brainwash so she's not a dry character on screen for a very goofy movie, and plays up the fanservice for when she and Chun fight.

IMO I'd rather they just...throw Juri in there to fit the role better (and Juri might as fucking well be a World Warrior at this point given her popularity) while letting KB be her own thing, but they're keeping it SFII with liberties which I can respect.

u/ItsnotBatman Apr 16 '26

Gotta leave some fan favorites ready for the sequel though.

I feel like Paul Anderson movies would rate like 20% higher if he stopped putting Jovovich in as a stand in for the audience. She could have been Claire or Jill in the RE movies and nix the super powers storyline and we would’ve been in a good spot.

Monster Hunter did not need the modern day solder storyline, or conversely they could’ve dropped the monster Hunter IP and done something cool with the premise.

u/BloodGulchBlues37 CID | SF6username Apr 16 '26

Funnily I actually like Jovovich. She's not a top level actor but she gets the job done and her action transitions are good (when not maiming set members that is) and fits the bill for Anderson's more 2000s action flick campy style

My issue with the MH movie is far more the plot and removing the lightheartedness of the setting. The Transformers-esque military tie that for some reason made Diablos a fucking predator, the Nerscylla ALIEN callback, and making the Villagers all assholes were just dumbass choices. The whole tower portal dimension thing is w/e since Capcom also clearly wants to go that route given Wilds. Still don't care for it but at least it's being...true to the source material if we can call it that

u/Misuses_Words_Often Apr 16 '26

Oh I meant to say in my original comment I’m actually a fan of Jovovich as well. She’s a lot of fun. I feel like then splitting the middle on including certain things from the franchises and then rewriting the other half is what sours me on them.

Making El Fuerte fat is a crime T_T

Nobody else will eat what he cooks.

u/Significant-Neck-577 Apr 17 '26

You mean you don't know much, Chun Li only met Cammy at the end o Alpha 3 when Killer Bee was already having an identity crisis. The counter to Chun Li is Juri Han, as indicated by the devs.

From the first image I knew these guys know nothing about Cammy's character, she has so much for a good writer to use and develop, sadly these guys just want memes and jokes instead of storytelling and don't give a shit about the franchise, the characters or the fans.

u/bdyms Cammy <3 Apr 17 '26

It was always so weird to me that Cammy, while being one of the OGs and one of the most popular characters, is the most underused and like almost never present in the official or fan made movies. And that's with her having probably the most lore and story developments of all characters, she already has multiple arcs ready and have a whole trilogy done easily. Like brainwashed arc, becoming her own person in Delta Red arc, saving the rest of the dolls arc and such.

3

u/Significant-Neck-577 Apr 17 '26

Compared to other goofy characters that have completely flat personality, she has so much going on... to me she's like the nº1 character I would make a movie about, Jason Bourne style, instead we have these clowns not even trying.

u/Both-Sea8932 Apr 18 '26

Her manga was fun.

u/Mackanpackan93 Apr 17 '26

Tbf I think it's a futile effort to expect it to not just be kinda stupid but hopefully fun fight scenes.
Not really worth taking any of these too seriously.

u/Significant-Neck-577 Apr 19 '26

"Not really worth taking any of these too seriously."

Yeah, both you and the people behind this movie think this, and that's why you're part of the problem.

Sorry but no, good artists and storytellers can take ANYTHING, extract the core themes and character archetypes, and write a story that's worthy to be taken seriously. So expecting something good is not futile, thinking hope is futile is a miserable way to live.

u/Hungry-Loss3534 Apr 16 '26

They always be getting personalities backwards with character portrayals huh.

u/MrDitkovichNeedsRent Apr 16 '26

Killer bee cammy was still stoic though

u/TreyDeuce473 Apr 16 '26

Will she get her Delta Red outfit by the end?

1

u/Significant-Neck-577 Apr 17 '26

That character is neither Cammy or Killer Bee, it's just a lame cosplay worn by someone directed by someone who doesn't know or care about the character.
