I guess people are confused bc I know another one writing stuff like you except he consider another material being canon lmao

don't ever trust anyone with he/him pronouns when it comes to RE. they're all power-hungry, gatekeepy, haughty, mainsplainy cunts who want people to beg them for a chance to drink from their self-proclaimed fountains of knowledge.

except for pat and woolie of the castle superbeast fame. they're the only dicks you can trust.

the big secret that no one wants you to know is that RE, despite being an old, huge series, is extremely accessible to newcomers -- for the precise reason that none of that supplemental shit is canon. any random person can get into RE by playing the numbered games, and they will already have 85% of the canon. the other 15% comes from revelations games, chronicles games, and the CG movies -- which are also incredibly accessible.

but men in RE fandom get off on people running to them for translation help for obscure bullshit articles from 1997 that never released outside of JP, and they treat RE like their own personal sandbox storyline to dictate to the fandom en masse.

but they don't actually write RE. the devs write RE. and the devs disagree with those men when it comes to determining what the canon is.

since it's RE4make's anniversary, I wanna ramble about Luis Serra for a bit, since I found his story to be one of the best changes in the remake (+ he's underrated too).

making him an ex-Umbrella employee was a great addition - it made his relationship with Leon all more significant and meaningful. he knew he ruined lives (including Leon's) due to his Umbrella/Illuminados research, and for that reason he was actively making an effort to make amends, trying to redeem himself by helping Leon & Ashley (+Ada).

we even see him breaking down in Separate Ways, and you just realize the full extent of his emotions and desires.

"why is this so important to you?" / "there are things I must set right."

in his final moments, Leon acknowledged his efforts, his feelings.

"what do you think, Leon? people can change, right?"

Luis ultimately saved his Sancho and Princess Dulcinea, just as he desired. Leon lights his cigarette for him with the Umbrella lighter, a gesture I found impactful. despite everything, Leon's kindness saw him as a man, and not as a sinner.

Luis died... like a fine knight indeed.
