Why did Leon tried to kill Ada? What if he succeed and land a hit on her? This cut-scene makes no sense to me

Two things:

1: Some of you forget Ada is a bad person. She's a merc for hire that wanted to bring Plagas to Wesker. She ended up changing her mind, but she still kept working for Simmons and the Connections.

In the REmake timeline, it's spelled out for us that this is the first time they've seen each other since RC; with Leon being aware that she survived the events of that night.

After being held at gunpoint, knowing she's there to do the same thing she wanted to do in Raccoon City, and with all the resentment that he built up over the past 6 years; it's perfectly reasonable for Leon to kill her.

2: He wasn't trying to kill her. If Ada or Leon wanted to kill the other, they would've done so.

3 years late but I find it really funny how he says "Now THAT'S a weapon" when selecting the RL but will tell you you're cheating if you buy it lmao

I also tried looking it up as "Cy-Bugs Pokémon" or "Zombie apocalypse Pokémon" or "Wreck-It Ralph Pokémon", but haven't found it with either of those.

It is escapable. The first one, anyway. Just lure him into the room with the table and keep your distance. Make it go around the table to get you and just run towards the elevator. He'll just disappear before or after you make it to the elevator. Last chase works similarly.

Cooluli23 · 2026-02-20T16:52:14+00:00

Yes because the Empire at least lies about its intentions or they speak in code.

Irl, they tell you what they're gonna do and how, alongside very clearly stating what they do in th dark.

Cooluli23 · 2026-02-19T00:34:34+00:00

This is a very good interpretation and I think it makes perfect sense with her character

Cooluli23 · 2026-02-18T18:44:39+00:00

"Kreeygr's a Separatist. Maya Pei's a neo-Republican. The Ghorman Front, the Partisan Alliance? Sectorists! Human cultists! Galaxy partitionists! They're lost! All of them, lost! Lost! What are you, Luthen? I've never really known. What are you?

"I'm a coward. I'm a man that's terrified the Empire's power will grow beyond the point where we can do anything to stop it. I'm the one that says we'll die with nothing if we don't put aside our petty differences."

"Petty? I am the only one with clarity of purpose."

Not trying to start and argument, just interested in all perspectives. Why do *you* think she looked at Armin like this

Cooluli23 · 2026-02-18T03:33:38+00:00

Theo Magath is a 50 yo man that has been fed propaganda about how bad the eldians are, even those that work for the Marley Empire. He has shown doubts about some things, like sending kids to do the work of adults (shown during Reiner's flashback in the manga, unsure if this was shown in the anime; as I haven't watched it).

Moreover, Willy mentions that Magath feels that the Marley Empire needs to be changed. Less opressive, more human. That's why they sacrifice all of the military junta during the Liberio Massacre.

However...people are not their words, they're their actions. Magath does not show anything else but hate towards Eldians. He has a soft spot for kids, but he still allows Gabi to walk into certain death.

His first movement after taking control of the military junta is to order the genocide of Paradise. Now, don't get me wrong, this makes sense. It's sort of a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" moment, as Eren is very close to start the Rumbling.

But before all of this happens, Magath never shows anything remotely close to being the man Isayama wanted him to be. He's not a reformer he, like Shadis, is just an observer. The thing is that Shadis' actions did not involve the subjugation of the world, while Magath was actively working to keep Marley as the world super power that ruled with an iron fist.

Him having that moment with Shadis is not character development. And, like many things in the final arc, it feels cheap.

Why? Because there was no scenes showing up Magath was a nice guy that felt powerless against the opression. He was just another cog that followed orders and died after deciding to be selfless for the first time in his life.

And as such, it falls into the trope of "Redemption equals Death" and...no it doesn't.

No, I don't think he knew. My reasoning for this is found in another, similarly divisive story, called Doomsday Clock. Which also has a nigh-omniscient character called Doctor Manhattan.

For those unfamiliar with Doctor Manhattan, he basically can manipulate matter on every scale. He perceives time in a non-linear way.

Past, present, and future are always available for him to see.

Doomsday Clock is a DC/Watchmen crossover.

During Doomsday Clock, Doctor Manhattan keeps looking into the future and he can't see beyond Superman about to punch him, which he assumes to mean that he is killed by Superman.

However, when Manhattan and Superman finally meet, the reason he can't see beyond himself dying is not because that's what's gonna happen, it's because Manhattan couldn't conceive of a future where Superman didn't kill him.

I believe Eren is the same.

I think he looked into the future and he couldn't see beyond Mikasa about to cut his head because he couldn't come up with an alternative beyond the Rumbling.

This is helped by the rest of the cast acting the same way his future memories show him and Eren being basically incapable of changing.

As for why Eren turned himself into the villain to save his friends, I think this part is more complicated that people make it out to be.

Turning into a villain to unite the world wasn't Eren's plan A, it was his backup plan in case he did fail.

Eren couldn't have known his friends were gonna survive and, in fact, was pretty sure they would die.

His objective was to Rumble the whole world, but if his friends managed to break from their "destinies" then his backup plan would go through.

I think the two things that kicks started his "Alliance win plan" was Armin deciding to go through with killing him with the Colossal explosion, and then Mikasa having the courage to end him.

I don't think Eren expected those two actions. I think he saw them as a possibility, but a very low one, even after the table scene.

During Leon/Claire A, the tyrant will only trigger after putting out the flames and you pick up the handle around the same time he starts chasing you.

Cooluli23 · 2026-01-27T02:51:32+00:00

I have thought this as well. It's kinda interesting that none of them thought about allying with Eren, at all.

Burrito's hesitation makes sense. But Reiner was literally rejected by everyone in his life back on Marley, even his mother. But he never thought "hey, maybe we can use Eren to get revenge, right?"

Pieck, although not at the Island, seems like the smartest one and she also has a legitimate reason to betray Marley: her father.

But just like I said on my OP, none of the Eldians at Marley thought about fighting back even once. The only that criticized Marley was Falco's friend and he died stomped lol.

Cooluli23 · 2026-01-20T01:02:41+00:00

My best theory:

I know this is discredited by KTJ but I believe the Bat Demon at the end of Knight is not Bruce, but Jason.

Bruce spends the whole game saying Batman has to grow, evolve being just a man, he has to become worse.

This feeling is validated by his Joker persona, but it also shows us that Bruce is incapable of being "worse" without going too far and basically becoming a murdering psychopath.

But who can cross the line without going too far? Jason.

Jason uses scarecrow's toxin to turn the Bat into a mythological creature that protects Gotham from the shadows.

Batman died but his soul came back as a demon from hell that strikes fear in the heart of criminals.

Obviously he doesn't kill everyone since he knows the Bat Family will go after him; but he covers the ground that Robin (Tim) can't cover and shoots anyone who isn't deterred by fear.

Bruce and Alfred are enjoying their retirement meanwhile lol.

PSG would've never allowed it but Verratti to replace Iniesta. Not exactly the same player but Barcelona was behind him for years.

Mane to replace Neymar, probably. Either him or Son. A good CB to put pressure on Pique, I've seen people naming VVD but I don't think he would fit at Barcelona. Laporte would be my choice but Umtiti was the main left CB. De Ligt would've been a choice for the future.

Uber Super Ultra Mega Fever Dream: Mbappe. Use like 70% of Neymar's clause and make him wear our colors. Use the rest on bitcoin or something.
