Well, I might as well do it. I& #39;m making a thread now for all of the screenshots on why Leon is, at best, ignorant, or at worst, actively harmful to everyone around him as a Champion. Feel free to mute this thread because it& #39;s gonna be long and full of screenshots.
I& #39;m up to 28 pics & I& #39;ve only watched scenes with Sonia in it re:Leon...So let& #39;s do a brief before we get into it. Leon doesn& #39;t notice what kind of pressure he& #39;s putting on ppl close to him, especially Hop. He only shows to care if it means he gets an & #39;exciting battle to dominate
Let& #39;s start with this. Most people hand wave this off, which it could be given the next IMMEDIATE scene that happens, attached. Leon basically bosses her around, & she expresses displeasure in that attitude. She waves this off as "just Leon being Leon" but that means this IS him.
Sonia is consistently shown to notice Hop& #39;s struggles with more accuracy & honesty than Leon, who has to ask the player about it. She understands personally how it feels to stand in his shadow. Knowing how "Leon raised Hop", this means she is shown to be worried for Hop.
"Leon worries about him too", granted, he never talks to Hop which would mean the world to him. Indicated by the last scene of the story where it& #39;s pointed out that even saying "I approve of what you& #39;re doing" is a milestone of praise. Meaning... its not the default? W h a t
