his personality in a nutshell 2:38 Leon: *sees cool chair, sits, strikes cool pose probably knowing there's a camera* also Leon: "there's no time to rest"
The best part is that his enemies laugh at his jokes, like, they wanna kill him, but they still find him to be really funny, specially Saddler, maybe that's why he never used his plaga control powers to just straight up kill Leon (when he tried at the end of the game it was too late).

I always thought about how leon was going around saying the coolest, deepest and most 90s action movie kinds of phrases. Only to become fluent in english and realise he was just pseudo-shitposting all along lmao. In Ada's scene i used to think he was all like "i have to be quick!" or "Damn it!", turns out all he said was "damn she actually pressed it"
_"A bit of advice, try using knives next time. Works better for close encounters."_ *(Takes Ada's handgun, slides the magazine out, and throws it away)*

@@MrShadow1995. ohhhhh true, it's pretty similar and gives off the same vibes. I love both the MGS and resident evil franchise so it's pretty cool to see similarities drawn between the two.
Sadler being straight up with leon and having fun throwing shade at each other is so good. Shame he became more of a fanatic in the remake and just talks crazy cult nonsense
Yeah I missed this Saddler. In the remake he only talks to you a few times and most of that is through visions or when he's talking to all the plagas. Never said anything interesting though, just stuff like capture Leon get the girl. Pretty cool but I love the old version more
One of the lines that really made me laugh in RE4 was in Chapter 4 when Salazar was going to conduct the ritual, and Leon says in the most passionately American way, "This is no ritual. It's TERRORISM!"
I think the actual dumbest line from Leon is in the original RE2. He meets Ada Wong, an armed, super competent "civilian" purposefully wandering through a police station with unclear objectives, who runs off at a moments notice and is constantly evasive about what she's doing. A few hours later, Annette Birkin reveals Ada is a spy for Umbrella. Leon's response: "Ada wouldn't do something like that! I KNOW her!" Bruh.
Honestly the remakes were fun enough but they - along with REVII and VIII - are part of the series' endless downward spiral into generic soullessness. I wish they'd tried to retain the gameplay styles of the originals rather than going for an insipid one-size-fits-all approach. The lack of classic characters - or classic characters portrayed in a distinctly uninteresting "realistic" manner - is one of the most glaring issues, but it's the atmosphere and overall visual style too. There's just something so unmemorable and bland about the new games.
I find it absolutely hysterical that the weird stuff he says sounds so confident and is fairly explainable in context, but undeniably it still is, in fact, "dumb shit" 😂
I've never played these games, but I believe the reason people love this character is because he's just unapologetically himself. It's silly, but the game's devotion to pull off those cheeky jokes as deadass as possible is what gives it its charm, which is also why these days movies with self aware humour about tropes seem to miss the mark. You can fall in love with ANY silly narrative if the creator fully commits to the characters/story they're presenting. Never be afraid to be cheesy, because there are so many people out there who LOVE the cheese
It's also a time capsule of one of the greatest eras in video games: 2000's Capcom. Resident Evil 4's production is how Devil May Cry happened - makes a lot of sense, considering the buffet of dopey one-liners between Leon and Dante. And then there's Viewtiful Joe and Godhand - the 2000's was Capcom's greatest era of action movie-style cheese. And since the games are also really fun, it makes them oddly timeless and loved.

@@connor48880 they changed it to "who the hell are you ?", then Ramon Salazar asked Leon to give up Ashley and Leon said "Yeah, Fat chance Ramon, the girl just fine with me". while Ashley showed a wholesome smirk when Leon said "the girl just fine" . Although if you defeat Salazar you will get Achievement called "No Thanks, Bro!"
2:38 I just love how Leon says "Your right hand comes off???" completely genuinely, like he's actually questioning if Salazar can detach his right hand and use it to get Leon or smth
I really like how they incorporated bits of the villain's comm calls into other parts of the game in the remake. Especially how Ramon and Leon's banter about scripts, acting, and drama being instead placed dynamically into Ramon's boss fight. It works perfectly.
I'm glad they kept a few of these lines but I really miss the goofy parts of this game in the remake. I feel like being campy is part of what makes a lot of old games like this so great.
"I’m sure you boys didn’t just tag along so we can sing kumbaya at some boy scout bonfire, but then yet again maybe you did." THE AUDACITY OF THIS SIGMA MALE
Leon is my favorite RE character but honestly I think the title of sigma male goes to Chris. Leon has his moments with Ada while Chris is all about the mission.
The thing that made RE4 Leon so great is that he was charismatic. He's just the right combination of goofy and cool to feel like it's just uniquely his personality. He's not actively _trying_ to put on a character; he just acts as he sees fit, almost nonchalantly, which comes off as simultaneously dorky, but also badass at the same time. He's "effortlessly cool" in a sense; he's got a lot of bluster, but he backs it up with competency and has a bit of fun while he's at it. It makes him a bit weird, but... isn't that kinda what everyone is? A little weird sometimes? He's a doofus, but he's also a badass. That's what makes him _genuinely_ cool - he has a multifaceted, endearing personality, with charming humour backed up by ass-kicking capability. That's what really makes someone cool; pure charisma.
Because men are valued primarly by their competence, appearance and social hierarchy position. personality comes below those cathegories (whereas women are valued by their appearance and personality - and by personality its usually agreeable-ness, humour and positivity. Those aspects are also interchangeable i.e. a super hot girl can get away with being less pleasant and agreeable - with it labelled as being 'confidence', while a more average looking girl will more often come across as arrogant, stuck up, "a bitch" and so on). Leon happens to score quite high in those three cathegories so he can have whatever personality the writers decide to put into him that people are gonna praise it.
“Your right hand comes off?” That’s the only line in this that I hadn’t heard and the only one of Leon’s one liners that have actually ever made me laugh
It took me all these years to understand the “sandwiched” reference. And the fact that he prefaces it with “I hate to say it.” Because it’s the OG resident evil bad joke and he didn’t want to invoke cringe. It’s actually brilliant
I am gonna miss this Leon, the new maybe more believable, but it's not the same without the quirky lines and him possibly actually having fun during the game. Edit: Turne out Leon is still his old quirky self, thank god.
@@rawmaw I mean, the script is the same, but as much as I'd like to say I love it, I think the VA just doesn't do that good of a job delivering the funny lines. He fits Leon perfectly most of the time, but his cheesy one-liners just don't sound the same. It's not as funny if you don't try to sound overly cool while saying them LMAO.
@@sasha_vb I'm sorry to hear you experience with the game so far. Luckily, I disagree. I'll admit that I do prefer the VA, but the new guy is a dandy replacement. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the rest of what the game has to offer :)

2:38
I just love how Leon says "Your right hand comes off???" completely genuinely, like he's actually questioning if Salazar can detach his right hand and use it to get Leon or smth
"she really pushed it" can't hold my laugh
HAHAH I LET OUT THE UGLIEST LAUGH AT THAT PART
I hope if I am ever in a truly concerning situation I handle it as well as Leon does.
Ada: You might want to leave. *Pushes self destruct button.*
Leon, who up until last night thought she'd been dead for eight years: O.O
I don't know why of all the cringey baffling lines that this one is the worst. It's just like...why would he even bother saying that?? Lol
let's be real though, leons "witty" one-liners are part of that makes RE4 one of the best He's such a dweeb and we love him for it
Can confirm.
Not just the one liners but the way he delivers it. Og Re4 Leon is the best version of all the leons lol
I really like how they incorporated bits of the villain's comm calls into other parts of the game in the remake. Especially how Ramon and Leon's banter about scripts, acting, and drama being instead placed dynamically into Ramon's boss fight. It works perfectly.
I'm glad they kept a few of these lines but I really miss the goofy parts of this game in the remake. I feel like being campy is part of what makes a lot of old games like this so great.
0:50 that senior moment line has me rolling
Even Saddler was laughing 😂
I love “hasta lu-eh-go” so much it caught me off guard when he said it the first time I played the game. Leon’s Spanish in amazing
I'm glad he says it in the remake 😁
I never understood he said that until years later. For context, I speak spanish primarily
It's epic but it makes no sense
It means "see you later", and I don't think you wanna see Bitores Méndez again XD
I mean he said one common phrase in Spanish. It's not THAT impressive.
senior moment one is definitely my favorite. it was so out of nowhere the first time i played that i laughed like crazy.
badass himbo is my favorite protagonist archetype
Paul Mercier was probably one of the best things about this game
There are many best things about this game
Yeah. Really miss him as Leon.
He’s the best voice for Leon
@@jodiecoiley4641 perfect balance between sexy voice and cool but dork voice.
Dude has such a calm, confidente voice. Truly a chad
"I’m sure you boys didn’t just tag along so we can sing kumbaya at some boy scout bonfire, but then yet again maybe you did." THE AUDACITY OF THIS SIGMA MALE
I love this because it sounds like he thought he was doing something with that last part
@beef business thank you for pointing out the error
Leon is my favorite RE character but honestly I think the title of sigma male goes to Chris. Leon has his moments with Ada while Chris is all about the mission.
@@LeOneToyota gigachad would fit better to be honest
And then they were burned at the stake..
Dammit Leon, stop predicting the future!
Guess they got burned twice that day...
Paul Mercier did an impeccable job on Leon voice
i bet his ass imagines a laughing sound track after every comment he makes like he is in a sitcom
I still find it funny that Salazar and Saddler somehow managed to hijack Leon's codec and talk to him like a scam phone call in the original lmao
The thing that made RE4 Leon so great is that he was charismatic. He's just the right combination of goofy and cool to feel like it's just uniquely his personality. He's not actively _trying_ to put on a character; he just acts as he sees fit, almost nonchalantly, which comes off as simultaneously dorky, but also badass at the same time. He's "effortlessly cool" in a sense; he's got a lot of bluster, but he backs it up with competency and has a bit of fun while he's at it. It makes him a bit weird, but... isn't that kinda what everyone is? A little weird sometimes?
He's a doofus, but he's also a badass. That's what makes him _genuinely_ cool - he has a multifaceted, endearing personality, with charming humour backed up by ass-kicking capability. That's what really makes someone cool; pure charisma.
Eh Spider-Man does it better.
@@sonicsucks20 but spiderman character isn't made to be badass, his character's made to feel cool
Same deal as zack fair from crisis core, I think. I love these characters 💕
Kind of reminds me of Dante
Because men are valued primarly by their competence, appearance and social hierarchy position. personality comes below those cathegories (whereas women are valued by their appearance and personality - and by personality its usually agreeable-ness, humour and positivity. Those aspects are also interchangeable i.e. a super hot girl can get away with being less pleasant and agreeable - with it labelled as being 'confidence', while a more average looking girl will more often come across as arrogant, stuck up, "a bitch" and so on). Leon happens to score quite high in those three cathegories so he can have whatever personality the writers decide to put into him that people are gonna praise it.
“Your right hand comes off?” That’s the only line in this that I hadn’t heard and the only one of Leon’s one liners that have actually ever made me laugh
1:15 okay but that was lowkey ice cold leon didn't have to do him dirty like that
a senior moment👴
perhaps
That was good
leon is savage
Next time someone forgets something ima say this
Leon: Ok Sadmer
The fact that a core element of this game is a Metal Gear Solid parody is just so iconic
really?!
I think he means the Codec like communications
@@TheLakabanzaichrg hm I guess I see the surface-level resemblance
But I'm sure there's many games that does this too.
Phantom Crash comes to mind.
@@rawmaw Phantom crash?
@@TheLakabanzaichrg yeah! It's an old OG Xbox game about mechs & talking animals.
It's an old childhood game of mine, but the game isn't very good.
"way😜"
"No way leon!"
"Way"
*proceeds to jump off with ashley*
It took me all these years to understand the “sandwiched” reference. And the fact that he prefaces it with “I hate to say it.” Because it’s the OG resident evil bad joke and he didn’t want to invoke cringe. It’s actually brilliant
I just now realized cus of your comment
Oh wow, you're right.
He says it in the REmake as well, but in a different context; Ashley also says she's become a master of unlocking at one point.
Also in the remake, if you examine El Gigante's corpse he says 'I was almost a pancake'
@@Amig186 He did & that made me laugh
OHHH WAITTT I JUST GOT IT HELPP
This guy is so intelligent he is breaking the forth wall without knowing
most is just extremely sarcastic, which is just perfect
‘Your right hand comes off? ‘ . Lmao you’re killing me Leon.
"I knew you'd be fine if you landed on your butt" I just love how unapologetic and confident he is.
Ladies and gentlemen. I may say dumb shit. But I have good intentions.
I love you
@@theblackparadeisdead Now this is something I don't know how to respond to!
At least half these were either funny jokes or just having a valid point, rarely saying actual dumb things
Sub daddy 😍😻🥵
@@Not_Leon_Kennedy I love you
Leon got tired of being treated like a cutie pie twink in RE2 and said “I’m the badass in this story”
"I knew you'd be fine if you landed on your butt" made me spit soda on my lap
Real meaning: Nice butt ashley
Just means that looking under her skirt is Canon for Leon xD
Luis went for her ballistics, while Leon went for her butt.
@@henriquecardososilvadacruz3153 Hope they don't. I mean it's the most iconic line ever 😎
@@eneascaceres they removed Ada's dress and Ashley' ballistics. You know they won't keep it.

i love that in this game we just facetime our enemies every now and then
why is 0:17 so funny and the way it ends too lmao
I am gonna miss this Leon, the new maybe more believable, but it's not the same without the quirky lines and him possibly actually having fun during the game.
Edit: Turne out Leon is still his old quirky self, thank god.
He is so believable that he can counter a chainsaw with a knife 😂
@@schembizzibut the knife destroying iafter that
it's still the same Leon.
Same cheesy writing + now cheesy banter mid-combat
@@rawmaw I mean, the script is the same, but as much as I'd like to say I love it, I think the VA just doesn't do that good of a job delivering the funny lines. He fits Leon perfectly most of the time, but his cheesy one-liners just don't sound the same. It's not as funny if you don't try to sound overly cool while saying them LMAO.
@@sasha_vb I'm sorry to hear you experience with the game so far.
Luckily, I disagree.
I'll admit that I do prefer the VA, but the new guy is a dandy replacement.
Regardless, I hope you enjoy the rest of what the game has to offer :)
And most of it is from re4😭
All
And nothing like this will be in the remake...😢
@@abraxo
No confirmation on that. Leon is a dork and always will be. He'll say dumb shit, don't worry. Just might be new dumb shit.
@@gabrielgaster3992 hope so) First of all, it should be funny)
Leon peaked during that game
He talks like he's never been through High School
