The characters I love best in RE are the endearingly stupid ones. Like in RE2make, Leon comes across as completely clueless and never fully understanding what's going on, but possessed of good enough instincts and fitness that he excels in an emergency situation without the capacity for conscious thought

And Ethan is so fucking dumb he doesn't think there's anything weird about stapling his severed limbs back on with no ill effects. He is the dumbest video game protagonist of all time and I love him for it.
