    ...Except Leon does let Ada get away with things, which can/could have terrible consequences. And in "Vendetta," his actions could have/probably killed a significant number of innocent people.
    He's definitely the most interesing, most fleshed out character in the franchise. He the ideal: strong in the face of adversity; bent by tragedy, but still not broken. However, it is in his vulnerabilities and imperfections that we come to love him most.

    I started Resident Evil with RE5, so back then he was my favorite, but when I played RE6 I started to see Leon as my favorite, the reasons are many, his morals, his style, even his job are great, when I played the older games, he always kept the 1st place
    In video games, he only loses to Dante, from Devil May Cry

    Leon is so beloved because he’s the ideal zombie survivor.
    He’s the perfect mixture of the badass everyone dreams of being in the zombie apocalypse, and the traumatized veteran one would actually become when constantly fighting to stay alive.

    From babyface Leon in RE2R to battle hardened Leon in RE4R to Death Island Leon, I love each version of him. Except cocky RE4 Leon, he’s an ass. On some levels, Ada has great affection for him too, her love language is saving him without him knowing. She’s just focused enough to not let it get in the way of her mission.

    My personal headcannon with why Leon is so infatuated with Ada is that, because we know how much of a softie he is deep down, and because of how we know that before his first day on the job his girlfriend left him and was late to work because he had a huge hangover due to his broken heart (unfortunately our boy Leon had a drinking problem long before vendetta showed it to us), I feel like because he met Ada literally the day after he got dumped by his ex girlfriend, and because he was so desperate to fill the hole that his ex left, made him pretty much instantly fall in love with Ada, didnt help much that Ada is a very attractive looking woman who also kinda reciprocated Leon's feelings, so yeah, thats why I think hes still so infatuated with her despite her shady personality, because the scar that was left by his ex has still not healed, even after so many years, which just further proves how much of a soft heart he has, not that theres anything wrong with that, but unfortunately the world hasnt been kind to that soft heart of his, which makes me feel bad for him even though he's just a fictional character.

In infinite darkness shen may and the old man (the tall agent) they talk about how him saving the daughter of the president is no luck and that he is more than qualified and the ladies hit on him in almost every RE. Why not talk about chris? Why not give the spotlight to chris? Why not give him a whole movie only about him? Why not let him save leon for once? Why does leon have to be the savior all the time?

I think in RE4 remake Leon representation was the best and realistic, however I do not like when writers in movies downplay other characters, that's just lazy ass writing to be honest. Im more excited about future sequels of the games because it looks like the story telling has lot more potential here in games rather than movies and shows. What are your thoughts on that?
