I found this. I dont remember if ı read this before but it lists interesting info about re2.
" ...When I was a kid, my family were involved in heinous crimes and I lost them all at once. I was the only one who survived. I could've died, but a police officer took it upon himself to save me. I wanted to become a cop as well, in order to save as many people as I could. That's what made me decide to become a cop. "
Here leon mentions his childhood which was also mentioned in vendetta as the person that leon wanted to become. He says that he wanted to become a cop cause of being saved by another one who inspired him to become one. The thing ı dont understand is how leon isnt supposed to be optimistic after re2 as an agent even though regardless of his profession, he was always someone who wanted to save lives. How does that make him " irrelevant " , " side character " or even " boring " ı still dont understand. He isnt even one of my favourites and yet ı saw plenty disliking him before re:2, cause of that game, ı came to dislike leon's appearances released since that game. Re:2-4 fans usually say things like " Leon's character is fixed in those games. " , " He isnt a simp unlike pre-re:2 stories. " or " He became a deep and complex character in re:2-4. " etc. I'm tired of leon and his og characterization being trumped under by the obnoxious fandom and ı still prefer chris, claire, ada, sherry and barry over him. If leon isnt supposed to have his optimistic charm after re2, then why would he have it in re2 either, especially when according to this info, it's stated that he lost his family due to them being involved in heinous crimes as part of a mafia. And if that's not enough, ada is also described as " criminal " by some even though she was never described that way unlike how leon's family is stated here.
" What's that lighter? "
" This? It's a memento from my dad. It's not that valuable, but I always carry it because it gives me courage, as if my dad's watching me...
I don't smoke, by the way. Guys who don't smoke are more attractive nowadays, right? "
This one also states that leon isnt a smoker and him carrying his lighter seems to be a way to honor his dad. He himself even mentions this in re4 and it's never stated that he lost his lighter either. How would he be lacking optimism from re4 to re6 even though it's still never stated that he lost that important item of his? He still looks very attractive in re6 for his age, ı prefer to play as helena and being able to inspect leon's face by zooming on him with sniper rifle is one of the reasons. I find him noticably handsome and capable in re6 than other stories, he even has the knife scar from krauser on his face, same as damnation where ı like him there just like ı do in re6 for the same reasons. But saying this in a more public place would probably get harassed by someone else, ı saw some anti-leon fans calling leon fans as " gay " just cause they like leon. ugh this fandom is embarrassing
