Leon Kennedy has become known for many things over the course of the Resident Evil series, including his stylish fighting style, good looks, and the fact that he cannot shut the fuck up in even the most dire of circumstances.
The Raccoon City cop turned anti-bioterrorism agent loves to crack wise even when a zombie’s got its teeth at his neck, and my guy does not let up on that in Resident Evil Requiem. So I decided to take note of all his one-liners and decide which are the best ones. We won’t be getting into major story spoilers here, but in giving context to Leon’s remarks, we’ll be making vague references to some events. Here are all of his quips, ranked from the blandest to the most delightfully stupid. Reader discretion is advised.
