The character of the President is introduced and his deep friendship with Leon established in quick cut flashbacks in the same scene that begins as he is already shambling towards Leon moments before he’s killed. Just amazing writing chefs-kiss

How many first families is Leon personal acquaintances with? He’s chummy with whomever Ashley’s dad was who was POTUS in 2004 as well as the zombie president in office during 2013. I guess he works for the Secret Service so he gets invited to all their barbecues

    I mean, Leon does meet Sherry at the end of the Claire A/Leon B and they leave Raccoon City together. I assume they talked and got to know each other before Sherry was left with the appropriate authorities and that they kept in touch.

    Because Leon… Kind of has zero personality. He’s just a walking Twink haircut, that shoots guns.

    In the original RE4, he has plenty of personality. He’s a snarky himbo. It’s not a very deep personality, but it’s there. Then in RE6 he’s like a Tom Cruise character or something dean-frown

    So why does RE canon, after 2, continue to sideline Claire’s relationship with Sherry, in favor of Leon???

    I don’t think Sherry is even brought up after 2 in any game besides 6. Technically Leon and Claire are at game appearance parity- Leon has 4 and 6, Claire has Code Veronica and Revelations 2

      I suppose that’s fair about Leon. But it’s still Claire who she develops a relationship with, over the course of the game. I just wanna see more of that ¯_ (ツ) _/¯

      They really did my girls dirty. Claire just gets side games, and Sherry only shows back up in RE6, and is referenced in some extraneous content. I think Claire is also in a few of the shitty RE movies?

      But Sherry in RE6 is… Honestly really boring. She becomes a cop, and is just kinda the sidekick to an equally boring edglord.

        It would’ve probably ended up looking exactly like Leon’s and Sherry’s interactions in 6

        Claire just gets side games

        I think Code Veronica is a main game even if it doesn’t really get treated that way these days. I still wanna see Capcom try to tackle all the goofy and dated shit in that game

        She becomes a cop, and is just kinda the sidekick to an equally boring edglord.

        Every Resident Evil main character is a cop, soldier or agent outside of Claire, Billy, Jake and Ethan so her chances to become one were pretty high. Also, Jake Muller is easily the lamest character in the franchise and it’s painful how clearly Capcom thought he was cool
