thinking about it, the least realistic part of the resident evil games starring police is the idea that an american cop would *fight* an evil corporation that's explicitly ruining the lives of civilians in an obvious way, rather than protecting them and helping them cover it up
though i do think it's very funny that the events of re2 apparently happen in part because leon is late for his first day on the job. very professional
@typhlosion i think thats why ive never really liked leon lol
@typhlosion aside from the obvious
@typhlosion yeah leon had to deal with all that shit on his first day, so you could say he got lucky not having to be a real cop
@typhlosion at least in leon's case he hadn't even had his first day as an officer yet so u could imagine that they hadn't quite indoctrinated him yet
It gets sillier. STARS is a private military corporation, contracted to fight domestic terrorism in 1996. 😬
@xinjinmeng see i always knew nemesis was the good guy
It would be awesome to see RE lean into an anti-corporate message. But, sadly, that's impossible.
apparently leon is a rookie cop in re2 so you could chalk it up to inexperience, but surely he would have gotten a dressing down about it sometime between then and 4
