@tonycoffman I do too. Funnily enough, I think they started giving Chris more of these personal losses because he tends to get the big “world saving” wins and storylines and they didn’t want him to become too infallible. It still feels a little unfair sometimes 😅
meantime because it took too long to get her treatment. It’s okay because it all worked out due to factors completely out of control of the person making the decision to not kill her because Grace, Leon and Emily are good people that deserve a happy ending.
@sansonrio It’s honestly what bugs me the most about this whole debate because Chris’ judgement being skewed by his previous experiences is neither bad writing or makes him dumb and evil.
Something, something… RE fans want more mature stories, but can’t even handle Village 😅
people are conflating fans saying "chris had a reason for not immediately telling ethan his plan" with "chris made every right decision." chris himself regrets how things played out and even his squad holds him accountable for a bad call.
@AylaMuses first time through 😅
And it’s not like I don’t see Ethan’s perspective, it’s one of those messy situations where both sides have a valid point. IMO it’s what makes it interesting because you have an antagonistic force in Chris that ironically only wants to protect Ethan.
Do you remember how in the beginning of RE7 Mia acted normal but suddenly flipped and attacked Ethan with a chainsaw because she was infected with the mold?
Chris tells you twice in game he was worried Ethan was infected at the beginning of the game, so he treats him like a
When I played RE: Village, the whole time I was thinking, “Chris coulda just explained everything to Ethan and he woulda been able to help.”
But he didn’t…can someone smarter than me explain his possible reasoning? Other than…the game wouldn’t have happened? 😅

@AylaMuses Yeah, RE tends to underwrite its stories, which I usually love because you get to pick up on more stuff when you replay the games, but Village could have really benefited from giving Chris’ POV a bit more space. He’s really only in 5% of it and that means you miss a ton the
Mia and Ethan’s marriage is a whole Catch 22 situation because the choices that led them to have a family in the first place are also the ones that doom it in the end.
I don’t think every RE game should be like this, but it’s nice to explore a Morton’s Fork scenario occasionally
I also really love that Village forces its protagonists to make loss-loss choices.
Chris tries to maximize Ethan’s physical survival by jeopardizing their friendship which makes the ending even worse because Ethan dies but entrusts Chris with his infant daughter.
I’m never going to stop defending the plot of Village because it’s one of the few RE plots where simply having good and pure intentions isn’t enough to save the day and that alone makes it really interesting and important in
maintaining the stakes of the story beyond the game
itself.
Like, Leon shooting Emily and not killing her is fine because there was a magical cure he didn’t even know about and she didn’t mutate even further during the time that she was left unattended and kill a bunch of people or even worse die a slow and painful death in the

involved because he knew Ethan would do anything to save his daughter.
Whether Chris has the “right” to prevent Ethan sacrificing himself for his family or even whether it’s ultimately Chris’ responsibility to stop that sacrifice is another question 😅
Ethan that he and his team are doing everything to save Rose. Chris actually begs Ethan to wait for him when he calls him after the Heisenberg fight. Ethan hangs up on him and tries to fight Miranda and that’s what ultimately kills him. So you can see why Chris didn’t want Ethan
