Does CAPCOM hate helicopters?

Has anyone noticed what happens to Helicopotors in Capcom Survival Horror
games??

-In RE1 there resced by Brad (okay) its a good ending
then in RE2, we find out Brad's a zombie.
-RE2, the helicopter crashes into the police station.
In the Hunk side game ending a helicopter (unnamed pilot) rescues him.

-Dino Crisis, the T-Rex, bites and destroys the helicopter
(In the 2 cool hydro foil boat ending the heroes escape. These were great
ending sequences to anyone whose seen it. Especially the one where Regina
captures the doctor one) ON the third ending the heroes escape on a helicopter
(not as cool as the boat sequences ending).

-RE3, Nemesis shoots down the helicopter.

-Bioharard Gun Survivor, the heroes escape on a helicopter.

Have I missed anymore helicopter scenes?? It doesn't seem so bad now that I've
analyzed it. However, it seems that at least 60 to 70% of the scenes have,
wrecked helicopters!

well how the hell else are you supposed to get help into a zombie infested
city? I don't think a mini-van would cut it.:)

I don't think they actually hate them... but they are OBSESSED with them.

In fact, when I finished RE3, one of the first thoughts was "oh great...
ANOTHER helicopter ending."

That's right... RE3 had TWO helicopter endings which makes the game even
MORE silly in that respect. What about a plane, or a boat, or a car, or even
a friggin push-bike for a change?!

There's also that scenario you can get in RE3 where Nicholai's escaping in the
helicopter and you get the option of fighting it, in which case the helicopter
ends up crashing and burning. Yet another wrecked helicopter.

I tried to think of scenes involving helicopters in the Street Fighter series.
The only ones I can think of are Zangief's ending in SF2 (where Gorby comes
down in a helicopter), Cammy's ending in Super SF2 (she and her team fly off
in a helicopter), and Charlie's ending in SF Alpha 2 (he gets shot in the back
by a couple of machine guns mounted on a helicopter, then he falls off a
cliff, then is somehow alive in SFA3).

But it would be cool if they found a working police or military
tank or even a bulldozer and rode it out of town, running over
zombies all the way and such. It's not impossible that they
could ride out of town instead of flying, because if Leon and
Claire could ride into town pretty much unnoposed... But then
again, that nuclear bomb would be a problem and they'd have to
really book it to escape to a safe distance in time.

which brings up another inconsistancy. When Re3 begins (24 hours before Re2),
the town is crawling with zombies. But at the begining of Re2, the town is
quiet and clean as a whistle. I'll never know what Capcom was thinking. As far
as I'm concerned, Code Veronica is the REAL Re3. This Re3 is just a lame side-
adventure. Shame on Capcom!

The shots of Leon riding in are (mostly) of a different part of town than we
see in RE3, though there is a shot of zombies walking in the RE3 intro that's
in front of a building that Leon drives by in the RE2 intro. So it's partly
because he's going through a part of town that didn't see much action and
party because a lot of the people and zombies have either been killed or have
moved on to another part of the city (after all, if you were a flesh craving
zombie and there was no more flesh left where you were, you'd go looking
somewhere else).
