2022 has a special meaning to me. It is not easy to enter this year. Many unforgettable things have happened. In this way, my 3D fan creation pictures have entered ten years! It is worth remembering .
There’s a scene in Vendetta that I’ve been wanting to talk about because I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. So here we go.
It’s when Chris, Leon, and Patricio were ambushed by Arias’s men, and Diego started unloading that humongous machine gun on them.
I couldn’t help but notice Chris’s reaction here.
I think we can agree that in that kind of situation, you wouldn’t have the time to plan your action. You’d act based on your instinct/reflex.
Apparently, Chris’s instinct/reflex was to grab the closest person there and try to get them to safety.
That person happened to be Patricio. It’s worth noting that by that point, Chris had heard from Leon that Patricio wasn’t exactly a good guy. According to Leon, Patricio was the one who betrayed him and made him lose his whole unit in the beginning of the movie.
Yet, despite knowing all that, Chris still tried to get him to duck for cover. He didn’t discriminate who to save. For him, Patricio was just a civilian, another human being, and Chris just cared.
He got Patricio behind one of the pillars for cover, while he himself just crouched over him, putting himself in danger. He’s willing to sacrifice his own safety for the sake of others’ (This reminds me of how he threw himself to save his comrade from Iluzija in RE6).
And it doesn’t end there. This is what happened next.
(Unfortunately, I had to make this particular gif in black and white because it’d exceed Tumblr gif size limit otherwise, but I hope it’s clear enough to see.)
After he got Patricio behind cover, the next thing he did was to make sure that the other person who happened to be there, Leon, was safe as well.
Look at that gif. Chris looked up to check if Leon was alright. Only after he confirmed that Leon was okay did he proceed to look at their attacker to assess the situation. It’s always other people’s safety first.
So, yeah. What I’m trying to show you is that Chris is such a selfless character who always just wants to save and help people. I don’t think it’s even because he wants to, it’s just in his nature, his instinct.He’s just a genuinely good person. And ‘good’ is definitely an understatement when talking about his character.
