Letter from Chris should've been like: Dear Leon, You MUST continue the Redfield bloodline with my sister Claire. Do NOT seek the woman in red dress. I repeat Do NOT seek the woman in red dress. Your future brother in law, Chris Redfield
THE BLOODLINE LEON, THE BLOODLINEEE!!! DO IT OUR I WILL PUNCH YOU JUST LIKE I DID TO THE BOULDER IN THE VOLCANO! UGHHHHH!
The woman in the red dress.Ada?
This is cannon now I don’t care what anyone says
@@Ko700el But Leon, Claire's ovulating right now!
Ew, no
Re2 = Young & naive Re4 = Matured, badass, relaxed & sarcastically humorous Re Damnation = Matured, more badass (freaking pulls out knife against 2 tyrants) & still sarcastically humorous Re6 = Stern, still badass, his looks getting depressed ( had to shoot president/best friend) but still had his sarcastically humorous Re Vendetta : Angry, depressed, drunkard, barely made sarcastic jokes but skills upgraded to John Wick Leon's character development is like people in real life. This is he always be my favorite character in Resident Evil.
You show me how to develop into John wick and then I can validate the last part of the your comment 😂
Now, i want you guys who are having any bad day to think. "It is worse than Leon first day at the job?"
Yes
Yeah, I'm the zombie he has to kill
Every day. He got to meet the love of his life that day. I'm still trying to get back with mine.
is it*
There must be some sort of a joke about Leon being a new american cop on his first day and Marvin being black... have you seen it by any chance?
Leon S. Kennedy, the man who friend zoned himself.
How is that even possible haha
@WillFanofMany wait, wut?
@WillFanofMany But is that confirmed?
@WillFanofMany (°¬°) (°¬°) (°¬°) lol
WillFanofMany classic. I remember her saying that !!! She also said some minor things in re4 that kinda hinted to their physical relationship, when Ashley Graham(presidents daughter) asks Leon who ada is to him he replied “she’s a part of me I can’t let go”
“I’ve sent my right hand to dispose of you.” “ Your right hand comes off?” Still amazing
"Rain or shine you're going down"
"Can't remember the bame? A senior moment perhaps?"
I read that as it happened rofl
“Where's everyone gone? Bingo?”
I forgot about that one. Hilarious!
Pretty sure leon is invincible by now after having to go through ashley screaming his name more than a 1,000,000 times

I always forget "scott" in leon's name. And also his hair is still perfect.
actually it's not too uncommon to forget such things. my memory had it burned in when i 5-starred RE4's Mercenaries mode all the levels with all the characters on GCN. jesus christ i was a far superior player then compared to myself now. cant even get a 5-star ranking now (PS4).
His hair will always be perfect ❤️❤️

At the end of resident evil 2 a company product of hair gel appears and you realize that the whole game was just an ad for hair gel.
Alberto Wesker, the lost twin cousin of Albert.
Has a lot of work in Spain, so...
Omg 😂
I've always had a thing for villains though 😍😍 😍
I was expecting Alberto Del Rio tbh
Now I can't stop imagining Albert with a moustache and a sombrero... Thanks...
I really and truely love Leon no matter what. He will be my favorite character in resident evil forever
RE:Leon fan#1 100% agree, leons the best
Me too
I prefer Jake... The attitude xD plus the close quarter combat moves
Chris is better and done more than leon, but leon is admirable
just subbed to you. excited to watch your re streams!!
just noticed that ada invested in a grappling hook after that fall
How have i never noticed her very good reason to...

bespeckled cephelapod no she didn’t get that hook til after her fall from wesker.
@@bespeckledcephelapod2265 maybe I'm experiencing the Mandela effect but I could of swore in Darkside Chronicles or something that she used some kind of grappling hook to save her from the fall.
Leon in Degeneration: "If you don't try to save one life, you can't save any!" Also Leon in Vendetta: *Sacrifices civilians just to kill a couple dogs.*
To be fair, Leon in vendetta was in a lose-lose situation, if he didn't kill the dogs, they would have killed him and he wouldn't be capable of saving Rebecca or help Chris.
@@alucardomalvadosyasociados5399 That is still far cry from guy who we saw in RE6 where he reacted people dying "It makes me sick seeing good soldiers like this" or "They escape infection only to die like this". I am aware he didn't intentionally cause them to die but he shows no concern nor does ever reflect on what happened even during the ending. He was all smiling and all. Overall Vendetta is badly written no matter what. Keep in mind that Leon was broken after his team's demise but doesn't bat an eye when civilians die.

@@uria3679 If your main character's solution to save the city is to kill/sacrifice other people then they are no longer heroes. Yes, Leon has been working for government ages and has seen some shit but he has shown to never abandon his morality despite being traumatized man.

@@thatrandomperson6609 what does this mean
In the mind of Leon S. Kennedy: “ADA!”
Ayyyyy duhhhhhhh
The whole summary inside Leon “Ada, wait!” Kennedy's mind.
I found that Leon and Krauser had a bit of a respectful bond, in a way, despite ending up as enemies in RE4. Leon knew too well of Krauser being one to pull underhanded moves, which Krauser himself was aware of, to where it's like their early encounters were more of a deadly sparring match for them to chat before resolving to the final fight. The best scene would be in the ruins when he calls out to Leon about what he fights for. To find out what drives this young agent to risk so much to fight each other over. Despite having a gun and clear aim of Leon, he holds himself to ask it: "What're you fighting for, comrade?" "My past, I suppose." Not the usual, snarky Leon response that you usually see him use against the villain bosses of the game. That alone told had some great weight into showing their relationship IMO. Chris had Wesker as an arch-nemesis, but I think Krauser would have been an equally interesting one to see happen for Leon as well with the little bit they got.
Im thinking if they go with the remakes like with 2 and start making 3 and even redo 4 then they could essentially create an incredibly well retconned storyline with a far better finale
Look up or play Darkside Chronicles specifically Operation Javier. It explored Leon and Krauser history together when they first met.
You're right! and Krauser unfortunately was turned against Leon during the Darkside Chronicles. After losing functionality in one arm and becoming a little crazy from his fear and fascination of the Code Veronica Virus, going as far to believing Leon is a coward for wanting to destroy the virus instead of harnessing its potential power.
@WillFanofMany True, it left me a little like "who the fuck are you" when I first played it.
I stan them 😂
The sad thing is, as the timeline goes on, Leon's mind has started to become fragile.
Agreed, he's a bitter drunkard by Vendetta, man's a broken thing.
Same as Chris in 6 for the same reason. Loosing his entire men would break someone who wants to protect everyone. I just hope they went with Leon in 8 and give that man justice. And give both him and Adda a break at least.
Him and Chris are both dealing with heavy guilt. But they are taking it differently, Leon is moving forward cause the world needs a hero but Chris , he is slowly becoming the “for the greater good I’ll do this” type of character. He is losing his way
well.. if I was them I would have gone crazy already
@WillFanofMany Makes you wonder what goes on in Jill's head since she is kinda left out. She did have full clarity of what she was doing under Wesker's orders, but couldn't resist. She also had people die in her hands, like Richard and Enrico, for example. That would leave hella scars in one's mind.
When Leon and Ada kissed and it switched to Chris screaming I lost it, bloody brilliant
Whenever a woman is moaning "LEEEON" you know she fell in love with him What can i say the man is a natural womanizer
Bruh he literally has a harem and the funny thing is that he only has eyes for Ada
Nah, they’re just good friends. He’s got the yellow fever for ada

Felipe Martiniano because he’s like “KAAARRAANNNAAAHH VIRUSSSS
Gotta give them that virus back you know.
It wasn’t on purpose, but...you know Leon’s history with vehicles. The trip never ends well when Leon is involved. The only vehicle with a good end we’ve seen Leon interact with is the jet ski from the end of RE4 and that’s only because we didn’t see how it ended. (I believe it somehow ended up in a tree when they got back to shore, that’s my headcanon and I’m sticking to it.)
He was looking for ada
Where did you want me to land it?
I always liked RE4's ending it was kinda touching.
Same here man

Guy Mcface you clowns can’t even take other people’s opinions
Holy crap the timing I'm about to beat a playthrough of Resident Evil 4 after digging it back out and revisit one of my favorite childhood games and then one of my favorite KZheadrs makes a video on Leon
RE4 is an amazing game. Hope you'll enjoy the rest of it!
King J. Grim I am enjoying it I just started up on separate ways Ada's story I honestly I would recommend it to anybody especially if they enjoy survival horror

I still need to know what hair product Leon use for his hair.
I think its the same thing Johnny Bravo uses lol
@@danicakes9212 Oh mama
Legends say Raccoon City's first aid sprays are actually hair sprays that fixed his hair like that permanently.
Green herbs probably
castor oil
Leon is the best RE character and NO ONE and NOTHING will change my mind
"No thanks, bro" -Leon S. Kenedy Still a timeless quote and meme
The way they animate Marvin when he says "You take it out. Or you run. Got it?" is just perfect. His facial expressions are perfect, and he looks like he's holding back tears.
9:00 Oh no guys, Leon's been Yamcha'd!
DBZ abridged reference... nice
BigEDMan Annoying asses are everywhere smh
18:05 when Ashley asked who Ada was. The flashbacks were amazingly done, it really showed how far they've come It made me cry a bit
7:10 at this point he said “Jesus Christ!”. If you ask me that’s a pretty good reaction for a guy just getting into the game
The creators must really have a thing for Leon being chocked. Poor guy.
Leon is damn near perfect in every way! From a normal young man who wanted to be a cop to a natural-born zombie killing machine! It amazes me how he's gotten so high up over the years, how he and Ada keep up such an interesting relationship but most interestingly enough: HOW HE KEEPS HIS HAIR PERFECT! Damn!
Leon in 4 was no longer scared for his own life but replaced it with a stronger fear for others.
In conclusion: Shoot things, run from things, suplex things, be a general badass, and obsess over Ada.
"From being a newbie and scared, to goofy and prepared!" D...did you just make a rhyme? Was that unintentional or on purpose? XD
He makes more rhymes.
Then a raging alcoholic with issues even later
@@Remagenify Duly noted.
I feel like part of why Resident Evil feels like an exception to the horde of generic zombie games is because it's not about an apocalypse, and it's not really a "zombie" game, it's actually scifi disguised as a zombie game. Just look at all the crazy B.O.W.'s Umbrella made and their huge labs and tell me it's not scifi.
I like the similar vibe Resident Evil has to Metal Gear, where it's a subtly more advanced modern day.
@@FalcoMoment same.
"Sister of the legendary rock puncher him self" lmao we will never let capcom live that one down
And now they made the meme in the Resident Evil 8.
One of the very very few things that I didn't like in the REmake was that change to Leon's reason for not showing up. I actually didn't remember the reason he was drunk but the pure coincidence of what happened to him made him more interesting as a character and especially with the part about the girlfriend makes him a lot easier to empathize with because it's a human flaw. It makes it more badass that he takes this call to action so seriously and discovers his inner badass as opposed to just.. him wanting to be Mr. Hero all along and nothing else. That rough edge on his character gave him a bit of depth that let you (or me at least) actually empathize with him more and appreciate the change that he goes through in the circumstances he was thrust into. And in the remake they sand away that 'rough' part of him and it only makes him more flat as a result if you ask me :/ I really liked the video though. Always love to see more "In the Mind of:" :3
I prefer the original reason as well. Makes a negative (being dumped), into a positive (reason for being alive)
Plus it is kinda odd that he stayed away for a full WEEK then decided to go check on the city.
@@toangreenlow2229 How's that odd? He doesn't know that the city was raid by fucking zombies. Also, that's how jobs work. You don't just go blindly to the workplace if you didn't receive a call whether you have been accepted or not. Since he was supposed to start his job last week but he didn't receive any calls. Either he's being rejected or something's happened and when he received a call to stay away, that's when he decided to check on the city. It's not that he received a call to stay away one week before he decided to go there. smh
@@KingJGrim I may be in minority in this, but I didn't like his drunken backstory because it didn't match how Leon was driving casually to the town and was pretty upbeat and ready for his duties. We weren't shown his drunken aspect when we first time saw him in RE2. Also it kinda makes me think Leon hooked up with Ada day later as rebound after breaking up with his GF day ago.
That's well thought out I have to say, however I have mixed thoughts about Leon's original backstory. It does humanize him but I felt it didn't match the way he behaved in RE2. He was driving casually to the town and was pretty upbeat and calm, willing to do his cop duties. Him rebounding with Ada after breakup day ago doesn't feel in his character. We don't see his gruff or sad aspects throughout the game. Don't get me wrong, I also didn't like in the Remake that Leon was dense when he wanted to save the city despite it being pretty much beyond hope. I guess it only works for Remake's characterization as Leon grows from naive, hopeful idiot to more serious and cynical person. However, the remake could have expanded on his original backstory or develop his depression and drinking issues over time. That's just my take.
I actually in light Leon story in resident evil 6. His rugged look in there really suits him.
all this would never happen if Leon got his welcome party

Capcom should never remake RE4, they will never replicate Leon's personality, his voice and appearance. RE4 Leon is the best Leon ever.
Fortunatley they're not interested in remaking 4 (so I've heard at least). Don't fix what's not broken. And yeah, RE4 Leon is the best Leon :)
@Lightning XIII-2 why?
RE2 Remake Leon is the hottest lol
@Lightning XIII-2 Completely disagree. Remember, Re4 Leon was an outgrowth from the Original Re2 Leon, not the remake. Unlike the remake, the Original Leon had a tougher, take charge personality, about him. After being hardened by the events of RE2 and his further training, his personality growth makes sense in RE4.
Hell nah, RE4 Leon all the way! Mature and confident 😏

And he just like "I'll ask the chief so i can let you out".
Heeeeeey, another upload. I haven't said this about any channel but I seriously feel that this channel is very underrated. The script, the jokes, the quality content deserve more appreciation
I feel like if he would upload more in the mind of videos and would upload more often, he'd get more views, but he probably doesnt have time for that
your videos are the greatest. every seconds is either hilarious or interesting
Top notch editing and ability to weave an entertaining video 😊
legend says, Leon is actually sad because he's is reminded of his younger cringe self
4:48 Leon in that scene in Resi4 had no reason to believe that elderly man was infected as he appeared human enough and spoke in clear dialect enough that Leon could “converse” with him. He explicitly told Leon “Get out of here, dumbass!”. Then proceeded to attack Leon as he turned his back.
