Fans compare Meteor's new haircut to Resident Evil's Leon Kennedy

gamingJul 23, 202624254

Final Fantasy XIV reached a moment where Meteor's new haircut got compared directly to Resident Evil character Leon S. Kennedy, and posts have leaned into that resemblance as a running joke. People center on Meteor's cropped, Kennedy-like style and riff on established Leon beats, from calling Meteor a 'twunk with insane homoerotic tension' to imagining Meteor getting the full 'Leon Kennedy treatment.' The thread also spun off Tumblr-era nostalgia and edits, including a reference to an edit of Leon Scott Kennedy set to Hey Baby and a tongue-in-cheek request for a Leon 'smell profile' review from Giant Bomb's Jeff. Overall the story is about the cross-franchise vibe shift where Meteor's look unlocked long-running Leon brainrot and playful role swaps.

Japanese video game characters for whom their first viewing of ROAD HOUSE was a pivotal moment: - Leon S. Kennedy - Terry Bogard (Chris Redfields was either COMMANDO or RAMBO II.)

The Redfields of my imagination have never voluntarily seen a movie that wasn't a Western or centered on some kind of road trip.

I've asked them to make a smell profile for Leon Kennedy. Giant Bombs needs to review Leon's musk, Jeff.
