Pop Character Profile: Leon Scott Kennedy, The James Bond of Resident Evil (Spoilers)
It's been a while since my last Pop Character File and I apologize for that. I decided to take a break from Orphan Black since I have a lot of interests in pop culture outside of it plus I love Resident Evil and with the two remakes that came out recently I decided why not have a character from that. Specifically Leon Kennedy, mostly because he seems to be the most interesting protagonist from a psychological standpoint. Leon Kennedy is an interesting foil to Chris Redfield. Where Chris is a serious, stoic and brooding man of few words and a clear love for one woman only, who might not even be aware of it. Leon, while not overtly comical I can see pull off more one-liners without them being cringe and overall has more fun on the job than Chris (again, Leon in the title is in a way James Bond, he kills zombies and every woman is flattered he finds them attractive, not repulsed). If Leon was in RE5 I could see him sleeping with Sheva or at least kissing her and making her all blushy ...
