Muscles Glasses vs. Jensen Ackles (Or: Team Chris vs. Team Leon)

[Smiley]

I should have made this topic here years ago. I need to rally up the battle for the main RE protagonist.

So


vs.

[Grem]

Ah.....the old debate

I prefer underrated Chris. Leon is so overhyped, it's scary (outside of the RE fandom anyway)

That said, I don't like how they buffed up Chris for RE5, just like a lot of people. In terms of body shape, it's easier to relate to Leon, but in terms of personnality I much prefer Chris.

Leons been my favorite character since RE2 :p

Chris Wins, Flawless Victory, Fatality

I admit that Leon is more stylish, though.

I think Chris' popularity is a bit like Timothy Dalton as James Bond. Not very much people liked Dalton, because he wasn't as suave as the others and was very serious. Yet, I believe he's the best James Bond, because he was much more human and believable than the others.

It's exactly the same for Chris. He's not as funny and cool as Leon and he's very serious all the time. But, he's much more believable than Leon because he looked like and acted like an ordinary man (before RE5 at least).

This debate can be settled in cat-e-mah-gories. Feel free to contribute yo two cents to it, but let's look into these selections:

1. Relationship with the ladies.

2. The threads they wear.

3. The training and kung-fu that they have when they're out killing zombies and foreign people.

4. Their friends and rivals. And by rivals I mean friends that betrayed them.... Complicated shit like that homie.

5. What they accomplished, dawg.

That's a good start, yo.

leon wins i like him more than chris

[Zombie_X]

When you said Muscles Glasses I assumed you mean MG from Epic Mealtime. In that case I vote for MG from Epic Mealtime.

[Smiley]

Well that's what Warrior Chris reminds me of.

Chris Wins, Flawless Victory, Fatality

Pretty much this. Chris in a runaway. Leon in RE2 was cool but went completely downhill after that, whereas the Chris vs. Wesker/Umbrella rivalry was a driving force throughout the entire series, and now it's over and I don't know where they can go next.

Think of it like this...put Leon in Chris's shoes in RE5 when a boulder needed punching. Not a single punch would've been thrown, instead, Leon would've hurled one-liners at the boulder in hopes that it'd wilt under the lameness.

Sheva: "Help!"
Leon(to boulder): "Rain or shine, you're going down!"
Sheva: "He's coming! Shoot him!"
Leon(to boulder): "Your hand comes off?"
Sheva: "What are you doing?! Help me!"
Leon: *runs up the boulder and backflips, landing in a crouched position. Looks up as his hair flops.* "Hasta luego."
Sheva: "He's getting closer! HELP ME!!!"
Leon(to boulder): "Got gum."
Sheva: "AAAAHHHHHHH!!!"
Leon(to boulder): "Where's everyone going? Bingo?"
Sheva: "AAGHGH--" *gets mauled by Wesker*
Leon(to boulder): "Boulder, you're small time."
Sheva: *gurgle*
Leon(to boulder): "Sorry, but following a lady's lead just isn't my style. "

Keep them votes coming!

That's a good start, yo.

1. Leon is unlucky with ladies. Impossible love with Ada, refused Ashley's overtime and Hunnigan turned him down. The only possibility seems to be with Angela.

Chris is always surrounded by beautiful partners except for Rebecca perhaps.
But he's not better than Leon and always act like a good friend with them, nothing more. I'd say he's even worse than Leon because he never showed any sign of romantic interest for any woman he worked with.

2. Leon got a pretty cool leather jacket in 4. I love his shoulder holster, also. But his RPD uniform from RE2 was pretty lame and looked like a fucking pyjama.

Chris never really had any cool outfits in my opinion. They weren't bad either, especially his S.T.A.R.S uniform from RECV. But they are just military uniforms. Nothing that could make Chris "stylish". Leon (RE4, Degeneration) wins here, in my opinion.

3. Chris is an exceptionnal marksman and is extremely resilient as proven when he was dealing with Wesker. His combat style looks like Kick boxing and his melee attacks hurt a lot!

Leon is more agile. He relies on his acrobatic skills and quick thinking more than combat skills. However, he's also ressourceful. But he relies a lot on luck to survive also.

In my opinion, Chris is a much better fighter than Leon.

4. Needless to mention the rivalry between Chris and Wesker. Probably the best in the entire series. It should have been better in RE5, but in RECV it was awesome.
As for friends, there is a lot chemistry between Chris and Jill, so it's nice to see them together.

The relationship between Leon and Ada is awesome and the second best relationship after Chris and Wesker.
The rivalry between Krauser and Leon is quite cool, but it was too short. Intense, nonetheless.

Chris vs Wesker wins, of course

5. Chris created an entire anti-bioterrorism organization. Destructed Umbrella and killed Wesker.
Leon saved the president's daughter and destroyed a group of religious terrorists.

Chris accomplished a lot more, obvisouly

So, the conclusion is simple : Chris is a better character. Not as stylish as Leon perhaps, but far superior in every other aspect.

[Det. Beauregard]

I've always been a bigger Leon fan. I think Chris is boring.

[REmaster]

Gotta go with the original gangster.

I'm definitely in the Chris bracket, and I think the main reason is because he was the primary protaganist in CODE: Veronica. Anything tied to CODE: Veronica equals instant glory.

1. They never explicitly say "Chris be humpin' Jill," but I've always seen that as at least a "friends with benefits" relationship if not an actual relationship. Chris definitely seems to have some deeper feelings for Jill. Leon just seems like that random metrosexual dude in high school that all the girls fall for, but none of the dudes can really understand why. I don't even understand the appeal to Leon, yet my friend is in the Leon category.

2. Meh, I've always preferred Chris' S.T.A.R.S. uniform compared to Leon's R.P.D. one.

3. They both seem to have some moves...

4. The Wesker rivarly definitely surpasses the Ada relationship; there is a lot more story with Wesker. Plus, I've always seen Leon as a moron when it comes to Ada. If someone tricks you and points a gun in your face once, logic would dictate that when you again have something they want history will repeat itself. Dumbass.

5. Who accomplished more? Chris.
