I think he should ditch the facial hair: Infinite Darkness
As Leon canonically approaches middle age, his appearances become marked by dark hair and stubble, presumably indicating both his natural maturation and his forced loss of innocence from doing all that Resident Evil stuff.
Sometimes I think this Leon design is inconsistent, though. Take Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness Leon, who is meant to be only two years older than he was in Resident Evil 4, and yet already has the same scruff and hair as he does when nearing 40.
His forehead is already wrinkled, his chin is somehow pointier, and he’s far from his 1998 Nickelodeon star origins. Previews of the forthcoming Netflix movie Death Island, which takes place in 2015, indicate a similarly scruffy Leon.
Hm. No thanks. I know this slideshow was supposed to honor all of Leon’s small character design changes from year to year, but I think I’d prefer him to forever be my babygirl
