While being a fun video, it’s one of the best showcases to symbolize the decay of fun, and somewhat edgy video-game characters. All to fit a “modern audience” (whatever that entails). A character that is now not even allowed to be a little cheeky towards the opposite sex. It’s a tough world when not even a self-assured super agent like Leon is given a pass in this sanitized age. What makes this video so great is that the modern remake is essentially the same game as the classic Resident Evil 4, but with a re-written protagonist to not run the risk of offending anyone.
He is not the only one in the cast to be neutered, but he is the stand-out character in this case. Although I enjoyed the Resident Evil 4 Remake, much of the cool 1990 to early 2000s personality was erased, to be replaced by a boring semi-depressive hero, rather than the collected one-line spouting badass that he once was. Check out the great video below, by the channel TerakJK.

One of the most unnecessary remakes out there. RE4 is one of my top 10 video games of all time yet I have zero interest in the remake. RE4 Wii version is the best btw
It did come off as unnecessary, especially since they changed the fun and cool vibes. Sadly, it’s the canon Leon going forward. RIP cool Leon.
