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. That scene could have been moment for Leon to reflect on what he is becoming or something but nope.
Leon S. Kennedy: RE2: Lvl 1 Adorable Rookie RE4: Lvl 50 Handsome Agent RE Vendetta: Lvl 99 Drop-Dead Gorgeous Badass Say what you want about Vendetta, it was good and that scene where Chris and Leon are being attacked in a hallway with a horde of zombies coming their way was awesome and badass Sue me, why don't ya??
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
@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.
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
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.
Alternative: 30 hours later Leon: hey I’m back with your daughter. I also got a shotgun, a TMP, a sniper rifle, and mine thrower, each with tons of ammo! I also have 1 million of the island’s currencies. If I go back I can get an infinite rocket launcher!
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 TH-camrs makes a video on Leon
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
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.)
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.
You should have included leon from vendetta where he is so tired of the constant fight against the b.o.w, and how dirty the Us government is that he is whiling to abandond people threatened by B.O.W in a foreign country.
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!
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.
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
@Toan Greenlow 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.
Original RE2 Leon will always be the best. He had the tougher, take charge attitude, and he was the one doing most of the saving not the one being saved. Rookie or not he had a self assured personality that made me think he was just cut from a tougher cloth. He's also got 6 months academy training so he has some skill. And it makes sense to me that he would use his breakup as fuel to get serious and rise up to the difficult situation ahead of him. It's not uncommon for people to throw themselves into work when going through a rough patch.
@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.
The editing of this video is amazing. Your commentary is fantastic, but I really appreciate all the effort you put in these transitions! And the jokes! :) Thank you for making it
Leon is my all time favorite RE character. While I'm disappointed the more recent games (not including the remake) haven't done much with him, or even included him, I'm hoping they don't leave him in the past. Thank you for putting together another funny, heartfelt video dude!
Mr X appears... Subtitles: *Mr. Johnny Sins* ....and now motivated *vergils ever iconic motivational reference* Redfield's bloodline in danger....😅😂😂😂 I love this channel and K.J.Grim Pls do in the mind of Vergil pls👊
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.
Dude... its 4am in the UK and im nearly crying with laughter from your editing, from the rasputin to the YEET as Leon and Ashley are on the Jetski...Perfection You gained a Sub 👏👏
@10:09 "but also with the power of BO-NAR" Thank you for making that sounds so damned epic. This just proves why I subscribed this channel. Found you via link to the video about the "muthafuc*in DOOM GUY!", stayed for the rest of the videos I dug out of your archives, but this just shows why I will likely never leave. You rock!
And how do you know that? Claire can still find out Chris is in Europe from the letter you can find in the Stars office in the armory. Leon being the first to arrive at the police station would make more sense since he is the first to arrive at the garage where he finds the zombie dogs. By the time Claire arrives to the garage the dogs have been killed and partially eaten by the Lickers that weren't there when Leon arrived. So Leon was ahead of Claire at the start. Which means he arrived to the station first and he was the one who met Marvin.
Because there's really no depth or layers to Claire's reaction. When Marvin told her, she was surprised by it, then adding the letter made her convinced her even more to go to Europe. It's totally different than just reading a letter and just thought that it was weird, nothing else. The definite proof that Claire should be the one that arrived first at the station was the iconic scene of Leon yelled at Claire to get down. That only happened if you choose Claire first.
@@zeroskaterz92 what are you talking about, have you even played the game? the "get down" scene happens if you choose Leon first too... And the letter actually implies many things. Chris talks like he is talking about a vacation but actually implies that he is fighting Umbrella saying he is in Europe spending all of his days "under the red and white umbrella" and he also tells Barry to not go there too and also asks Jill to tell Claire he is OK. Claire might have learned way more from that letter and from where it was sent after RE 2 events to go search for Chris in Europe. Marvin just tells her he is somewhere in vacation in Europe leaving her no clue about where he is or why he was there. And like I said when Claire goes to the garage there's proof Leon had already been there before her in both her first and second scenario making the second scenario more likely for Claire.
I love how leon acts in infinite darkness honestly, I just started the series and in the first episode pretty much all of the characters without naming him, describe him like everyone else does. a badass zombie killing machine. and what does he do? exact that.
14:04 "Choose word carefully in Raccoon City" the man after that literally begged for leon to save his freaking life and he just like "i find and ask the chief" in a setting that he should've probabaly know the chief would be in somewhere else, turn or dead. And he just like "I'll ask the chief so i can let you out".
Okay, the Cotton Eyed Joe playing over the truck crash scene is one of the funniest things anyone has ever done with this series, thank you for that. I rewinded it like seven times and laughed every time.
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
This was my first time watching one of your videos, and it was a blast. Favorite moments from this one: 3:35 and 13:16. Laughed so hard, the neighbors were banging on the walls and telling me to shut it.
Leon was the kind of guy turned a bit cynical from his events if his first game. Its is a shame you didn't show the animated movies because the one with claire shows how dead he is and how he treats rookies and zombies like himself. He has a bit of a darkness and enjoyment from being a skilled killer and it's because of how traumatizing his first day as an rpd officer was on him

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!
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.
all this would never happen if Leon got his welcome party
Still waiting.

@@yankeemania2345 you still waiting bro?
@@GhostBubbles_ Yes indeed.
In conclusion: Shoot things, run from things, suplex things, be a general badass, and obsess over Ada.
With how much Leon is determined to protect people - I'm shocked his devil trigger hasn't activated yet.
dmc reference lol
9:00 Oh no guys, Leon's been Yamcha'd!
DBZ abridged reference... nice
BigEDMan Annoying asses are everywhere smh
I actually in light Leon story in resident evil 6. His rugged look in there really suits him.
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)
@Toan Greenlow 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.
Original RE2 Leon will always be the best. He had the tougher, take charge attitude, and he was the one doing most of the saving not the one being saved. Rookie or not he had a self assured personality that made me think he was just cut from a tougher cloth. He's also got 6 months academy training so he has some skill. And it makes sense to me that he would use his breakup as fuel to get serious and rise up to the difficult situation ahead of him. It's not uncommon for people to throw themselves into work when going through a rough patch.
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 😏
I'm so happy to be part of this amazing video.
Thanks again for the amazo art!
"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.
The editing of this video is amazing. Your commentary is fantastic, but I really appreciate all the effort you put in these transitions! And the jokes! :) Thank you for making it
3:40 is the funniest edit ive seen in a while,good job
PLEASE make a remake of this video since the resi4 remake is out! We've got more of his psychology and Ashley is just amazing too!
oh god AND LUIS
Leon is my all time favorite RE character. While I'm disappointed the more recent games (not including the remake) haven't done much with him, or even included him, I'm hoping they don't leave him in the past. Thank you for putting together another funny, heartfelt video dude!
When the video got to Chris's vacation I jokingly said punching boulders to my self and seconds later Chris is punching a boulder I love you
I hope Leon raised a glass for Mike when he got back home.
No Dancing Eye-candy? Unsubbed. JK
Been waiting for this for a long time. Let me get some snacks ready.
its just in a different place this time.
12:30 there it is
@@deanjenkins3077 Indeed. Saw it afterwards but didn't edit the comment.
You think Chris RedField is at peak physical condition just like Batman
The moment he punched a boulder from his path, he transcended humanity.
Chris is not tied to the laws of man he and his boulder punching shall only ever grow stronger
Yeah....except agility...bruce is not just a brawler,he also a ninja/shaolin...i think chris can't even do a backflip
@@GREG_Khar-NÜ-Metalhead2000 Well duh, Ninja is Japanese for scout. And batman is quite stealthy.
@@fordf-2505 thats what i mean...bruce is agile,fast,stealthy
"Come ON!" Leon really is John Wick in the RE series
Leon the love of my life, still impossible love
10:03 the time chris lost all hope
Chris punching boulders on a vacation is the most hilarious shit I've seen 😂😂😂
Mr X appears...
Subtitles: *Mr. Johnny Sins*
....and now motivated *vergils ever iconic motivational reference*
Redfield's bloodline in danger....😅😂😂😂
I love this channel and K.J.Grim
Pls do in the mind of Vergil pls👊
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.
Awesome character, always nice to see him back to the series.
In The Mind of: Arthur Morgan
You forgot the part where Leon was blackmailed by the government to join the military... (RE DarkSide Chronicles) true story.
"Newbie & scared. To goofy & prepared." #lifegoal
Dude... its 4am in the UK and im nearly crying with laughter from your editing, from the rasputin to the YEET as Leon and Ashley are on the Jetski...Perfection
You gained a Sub 👏👏
17:00 the scream that launched the Serennedy ship
@10:09 "but also with the power of BO-NAR"
Thank you for making that sounds so damned epic. This just proves why I subscribed this channel. Found you via link to the video about the "muthafuc*in DOOM GUY!", stayed for the rest of the videos I dug out of your archives, but this just shows why I will likely never leave. You rock!
3:48 i literally almost choke while eating an apple
When Leon sees sherry in re6:
DAUGHTER WHICH I DIDNT WANT IN THE 1ST PLACE????
6:42 AND THAT'S THE POWER OF OLD SPICE😂😂😂
"And Rasputin?!"
*Shows Bitores Mendez*
I love you already, subbed.
Leon is like a puppy when he’s with Ada
I know you said you didn't want to focus on canon issues, but I have to say this:
Canonically, Leon never met Marvin, Claire met & killed Marvin
Leon met Marvin. Well, zombie Marvin at least.
And how do you know that? Claire can still find out Chris is in Europe from the letter you can find in the Stars office in the armory. Leon being the first to arrive at the police station would make more sense since he is the first to arrive at the garage where he finds the zombie dogs. By the time Claire arrives to the garage the dogs have been killed and partially eaten by the Lickers that weren't there when Leon arrived. So Leon was ahead of Claire at the start. Which means he arrived to the station first and he was the one who met Marvin.
Because there's really no depth or layers to Claire's reaction. When Marvin told her, she was surprised by it, then adding the letter made her convinced her even more to go to Europe.
It's totally different than just reading a letter and just thought that it was weird, nothing else.
The definite proof that Claire should be the one that arrived first at the station was the iconic scene of Leon yelled at Claire to get down. That only happened if you choose Claire first.
@@zeroskaterz92 what are you talking about, have you even played the game? the "get down" scene happens if you choose Leon first too... And the letter actually implies many things. Chris talks like he is talking about a vacation but actually implies that he is fighting Umbrella saying he is in Europe spending all of his days "under the red and white umbrella" and he also tells Barry to not go there too and also asks Jill to tell Claire he is OK. Claire might have learned way more from that letter and from where it was sent after RE 2 events to go search for Chris in Europe. Marvin just tells her he is somewhere in vacation in Europe leaving her no clue about where he is or why he was there. And like I said when Claire goes to the garage there's proof Leon had already been there before her in both her first and second scenario making the second scenario more likely for Claire.
Canonically Ada never falls off the bridge
I love how leon acts in infinite darkness honestly, I just started the series and in the first episode pretty much all of the characters without naming him, describe him like everyone else does. a badass zombie killing machine. and what does he do? exact that.
Great vid as always Grim, So happy you covered one of my favorite Horror protaganists and Can't wait for more streams and content
14:04 "Choose word carefully in Raccoon City" the man after that literally begged for leon to save his freaking life and he just like "i find and ask the chief" in a setting that he should've probabaly know the chief would be in somewhere else, turn or dead. And he just like "I'll ask the chief so i can let you out".
Okay, the Cotton Eyed Joe playing over the truck crash scene is one of the funniest things anyone has ever done with this series, thank you for that. I rewinded it like seven times and laughed every time.
Glad you got a laugh!
25 seconds into the video and it has already killed me because of your reaction to seeing Leon
18:02 Love the flashback sequence you added, it goes so well with the music
Awwwww that was nice. Leon is a total bro.
legend says, Leon is actually sad because he's is reminded of his younger cringe self
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
Loved the timing/humor and editing!😂
FINALLY IT'S HERE! Mr. Grim you did it again, good job!
The editing and references in this video was very very Impressive . Good job
I always watch your videos for those sweet dance breaks.
You did not disappoint.
"Monsters, guess after this that'll be one less to worry about"
Most badass line ever
This was my first time watching one of your videos, and it was a blast. Favorite moments from this one: 3:35 and 13:16. Laughed so hard, the neighbors were banging on the walls and telling me to shut it.
Holy hell im over here getting teary eyes by the end 😥
The Rasputin part with the scream sends me everytime
Love the effort you put in your videos!! Greetings from Argentina
This had me laughing out loud! I love this (and Leon "The Sweetheart" Kennedy) so much.
That makes me so happy to read!
Thank you for this. Great video. ❤️🦁
Watching this video knowing that there will be a remake of 4 gives me such a hyped feeling bc there we will maybe see more story behind everything
Leon was the kind of guy turned a bit cynical from his events if his first game. Its is a shame you didn't show the animated movies because the one with claire shows how dead he is and how he treats rookies and zombies like himself. He has a bit of a darkness and enjoyment from being a skilled killer and it's because of how traumatizing his first day as an rpd officer was on him
