I don't even know Leon Kennedy since I never played the game or seen the movie (if there is) but I am so down for him! He's such a marshmallow! I liked how a dose of reality that his father probably won't approve of Sakura only made his resolve stronger. (I am bracing myself to be honest!)
i actually got into the series pretty recently! when the re2 remake came out my friend (who'd already been a fan of the series) got me to play the game with him and i've been spiraling ever since
and if we're talking about movies, well, here's a list and my short opinions on each if you or anyone else wanna take a deep dive into surface lore! (the games i get if no one's interested in those, they take a lot of time to get into but any playthrough is accessible on youtube! my favorites are the streams by ray narvaez jr)
(feel free to ignore my ramblings if you so choose <3)
Resident Evil film series (2002-2017): live action movies, main character isn't in any of the games. there's cameos from game characters, but i'm not really into these movies
Resident Evil: Degeneration (2008): animated movie, mains leon and claire and this leon's... fine. character consistency isn't resident evil's strong suit and let's just say we're not watching any of the animated movies for their A+ quality
Resident Evil: Damnation (2012): animated movie, mains leon, definitely a step up from Degeneration but still not my favorite leon! i'd say it's a pretty solid installment tbh
Resident Evil: Vendetta (2017): animated movie, mains leon and chris (and rebecca who i haven't mentioned in my crossover), HOT DAMN my favorite movie to date. the quips, the action scenes, the stupidest gun-kata you ever did see - 10/10, i've watched it too many times
Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness (2021): animated netflix miniseries, mains leon and claire, definitely the best visuals i've seen just because of the natural progression of how these kinds of animations go. leon? love him. plot? slackin. still watched it multiple times lmao
Resident Evil: Welcome to Racoon City (2021): live action movie... we don't talk about her. no, seriously. my friend (same one mentioned above) and I watched it in theaters, almost left at multiple points, then sat in the car for a solid 10 min after just in shock over how bad it was. but i've heard that it's a pretty good movie if you're not attached to the lore (even if the SELLING POINT WAS THAT IT FOLLOWED THE GAMES)
Resident Evil (2022): netflix live action sesries, whole new cast of characters, lost interest after ep 1 tbh so i can't give much here
Resident Evil: Death Island (2023): coming out in july and I'm HYPED
but in terms of mint limeade - brace yourself even harder! because it's the Mr. Kennedy vs Sakura stand off next!
