Something we should talk about MORE is the way he instinctively walks forward the second the helicopter starts pulling away. Like his entire body was rejecting the idea of letting her go 😭 My guy was grieving the mere concept of being apart from her.
"I really wonder who Leon's married to, surely can't be Ada Wong!!!!"
Capcom for the last 30 years building up their relationship with games, movies, interviews, official art and novels for apparently no reason at all:
Whether we realized it or not, Helena giving Ada's Compact to Leon was very important which this will not change even if there's a remake for 6, the Compact itself hold important role for the future of their relationship...
1. Even if Leon hadn't met Ada after Lanshiang, he would still have her compact, which would always bind him to Ada, just like the bear charm, as we know Bear charm and Compact is her things, her owns. Every time he saw it, it would remind him of Ada, her sacrifice and her help in Lanshiang. In other words, the compact and the bear charm were the strings that bound Leon and Ada's lives together. (you don't want a relationship with a man who always keep his first love things right? So there's no way he tried to move on after what happend in lanshiang)
2. If Leon met Ada, he wouldn't let her go this time, because Leon's expression at the end truly showed his determination to her, especially when he learned that Ada saved him from being accused of assassinating the president and providing evidence of Simmons' crimes. It was an act from her that Leon would never forget for the rest of his life. Well, this is why he wouldn't give up on pursuing her this time.
And we can see in Ada's message to him, one word from her that changed their entire relationship is she wanted to "STAY." But she had to run away because of Carla's case. This was the biggest decision in their relationship, where Ada finally decided to stay.
Now imagine if things had improved after Lanshiang and they finally met "see you down the road"?
Ada want to stay and Leon determination on her...
Simmons really thought he did something by telling Leon “you're not half the man she needs”... 💀 If re6 remake happens, Capcom better let Leon unleash absolute hell on him for that line alone. Let him prove who the only man for Ada really is🫵
claire’s va saying that claire and leon are not flirting in that fence scene cause it was never the intention and their relationship is PLATONIC #caseclosed
“Not if I can help it” always gets to me because he’s showing his jealous and protective side while literally taking bullets for her and keeping her safe. Oh, this man does NOT play about HIS woman.
leon still unaware of carla's existence and having every reason not to save or help ada at that moment but he was still willing to give his life to save her... that's my roman empire
