...Superhero Mysterious Badass? I don't think you know Leon very well XD. There was NO mystery to him in RE2. And by RE4, yes he was incredibly trained, but that's easily explained by his 7 years of intensive training. And he has MAJOR personality in both games. Far more personality than Chris has EVER shown to be fair...And Darkside Chronicles shows even more of what he went through during those seven years...Not liking Leon is fine, but I think you need more sound logic...Chris and Ada are both far more "Super Hero Badass" than Leon...
Degeneration he doesn't have much of a personality, that's true. But unlike in previous situations we've seen him in, Leon HAS to be very by the book, because he's LEADING a mission where people's lives besides his own are at steak. So it's not that he has no personality, it's just that he's following protocol 100%, and doesn't have time to be his normal joking self...Damnation, however, he is MUCH more the Leon we know. Damnation is a VERY good movie...hell...Better than RE5 or RE6 actually XD
I did not said that Leon does not have a personality. Just said that script-writers of RE should let him rest for some years, this guys done a really big job
. Besides, don't you think that this guy acting different in every game/film? Rookie in RE2, fearless macho in RE4, silent professional agent in Degeneration... For me, they changed him too much. RE2- ok, he was young and scared, but I don't think that intensive training could change his personality so much (not physical skills, that's obvious).
And, I'm not agree with you about Chris. Ada, maybe, but she never played as a main heroine, so she's not bothered me. But Redfield... Well, after mansion incident, this guy swore to destroy Umbrella. After Raccoon and Rockford, where he almost lost his sister, he still keep fighting. Joined BSAA, because she had a something which one is worth of fighting for. Important is also his old rivalry with Wesker. And, in RE6, we can see him not only as a hero, but also normal man, with normal problems- heavily drinking somewhere in Eastern Europe, what could be easily explained by his past (an Edonia mission). So I think that Redfield is far more natural than Leon
