El Gigante's Lore Has CHANGED: Resident Evil 4 Remake Theory

Resident Evil 4's El Gigante was originally written to result from "diabolical and inhumane" experiments conducted by Saddler's researchers, during which Plagas parasites were implanted into human hosts. This means that they emerged from modern research AFTER the parasites were unearthed during Ramon Salazar's rule (after being sealed under the castle for 7 generations). However, some recent screenshots suggest that the RE4 Remake's Gigante's may have always existed before the modern experiments, as the Gigante skulls we see look to have been aging for centuries. This would be a substantial change to the creature's origin lore, and may also be a callback to the scrapped file on it that didn't make it into the original 2005 release of Resident Evil 4 (which suggested that Gigantes became of Ganados who lost their mental battle to their parasite and remained in agitation for extended periods of time). We've also seen that the process of excavating Las Plagas itself seems to be different in the Remake (it seems preserved in a sap like that of the Jurassic Park movie), so this may explain ancient Gigantes being born from the naturally recurring plagas, perhaps coupled with the scrapped file's rationale above.
