Resident Evil 4 Remake, R.I.P You beautiful idiot

I’m more amused than contemplative when himbo protagonist Leon Kennedy dies in RE4, partly because I know I’m responsible for it, and I feel like me and him are locked in birdbrain solidarity.

Though, I feel sorry for him when the blood-spattered Chainsaw Man mauls him with his revving weapon. In that death animation, sheets of blood spurt from the chainsaw rumbling in Leon’s chest, but it’s not brutal enough for the Man. He rips out the chainsaw just to shove its teeth straight through Leon’s back, and the screen is tinged with wine-red while a blood fountain gushes from Leon’s exhausted body. He’s too handsome to go out that way.
