CAPCOM, MAKE CLAIRE LOOK COOL AGAIN AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!!
No seriously I could write a fully fledged essay about this. Apparently the books (the canon ones) are better with it? Like, okay Chris and Leon **had** drinking issues... but that's it?? Jill's scars from re5 literally are no where to be seen. Chris is in nearly every main Resident Evil game and he's just fucking chill?? Okay.
Can we talk about how trauma is represented in the resident evil franchise?
Or, more accurately, the lack of it?
In both the (animated) movies/shows and the games themselves, it doesn't really feel like they're showing much trauma to literally surviving multiple zombie outbreaks.
Leon, for example. I feel like he would've had much stronger PTSD considering everything he's been through and how old he was when it all started. Claire and Chris as well.
Idk they seem... relaxed to me. They all seem far too casual considering raccoon city was blown up by the government for having an outbreak of zombies which they also then proceeded to cover up. And all that shit in Spain. And the mere implications of Nemesis' existence and how that would've severely fucked with Jill and Carlos' mental health. And then just everything that happened in vendetta and ID (haven't watched DI yet to make a comment on it). It's a lot and they all just seem so accepting and "meh" about it afterwards??
And yeah, sure, Leon has a drinking problem in Vendetta. But again, that's not really an appropriate amount of response to everything.
They seem so healthy and mentally fine after all these multiple events and it just struck me as odd. Hope it's not just me who thinks this 🥲
It really was
The best part of Resident Evil Infinite Darkness no I will not be taking criticism
  treason! … fun!
