Helena Harper is the Most Annoying Resident Evil Sidekick

 


While I don't understand to this day why fans weren't fond of Resident Evil 6, because I personally loved this game, there is one thing that I do agree with fans on. One sidekick that Leon Kennedy is stuck with during Resident Evil 6, is Helena Harper, a woman that is out for revenge. 

The thing that pissed me off the most about her character was the lack of information that she would give to Leon. I played this game with a family member, and I was stuck playing Helena, and while I never care about the characters I play as coop local, I couldn't stand her character. For the first half of the game, she refuses to tell Leon why she is she is determined to reach a random woman, that turns out to be her sister. She had gone through experimentation by one of the main Resident Evil villains known as Simmons, and for some strange reason, she never bothered to tell Leon about any of this information. 

Every single time Leon questioned her character, she kept giving him the same line:

"I'll tell you later."

How Leon mustered so much patience with Helena was absolute insanity. I would have immediately confronted her about what the hell was going on, because in a situation that involves the dead literally hunting you down in a huge city, I would want to know why we were being forced to look for someone during a situation like this. 

And even when we got all of the information that we needed in the end from Helena, I still couldn't bring myself to feel bad for her when she finally got her revenge on Simmons. Knowing that she had withheld some vital information from us in the beginning of the campaign made me so untrustworthy of her character, and I was getting worried about Leon falling for her. Even though I don't get why he has a thing for Ada, I'd rather he got with her. And yes, Ada is pretty mysterious herself, but at least Ada is cool in her own way, despite her character being a bit of an asshole. 

What did you Resident Evil fans think of Helena's character?

The Final Season of 'You' Ends on a Powerful Note

Image
  Credit to Google This article will contain major spoilers of You season 5. I am beyond thrilled with how You ended. People have always been mixed on what they think of this show, but I have always loved the insanity of this crazy serial killer.  Joe Goldberg is such a complex character who thrives on the power of love and is willing to do whatever it takes for the next woman he falls for.  He never hesitates to murder anyone, including his love interest. If she stops loving him, he will not hesitate to murder her. That is the main reason why Joe is freaking scary. He will be your knight in shining armor, but once that image of love is taken from him, he will show his true nature.  I loved how the final season focused on Joe’s evil self. While the first four seasons purposely viewed his character sort of like an antihero, the final season does not hold back on Joe’s evil side. We get a new glimpse into his character this time around, because in the earlier seasons,...

Pearl is a Wicked and Horrific Start to a Memorable Horror Trilogy

Image
  Credit to  Halloween Horror: Pearl (2022) — 3 Brothers Film Have you ever been so impressed by and scared of a character at the same time? Mia Goth pulls off such a likable character with terrifying tendencies of murder and mayhem. Pearl  is actually a prequel to one of my favorite horror films,  X , and is the middle chapter in a trilogy. This trilogy was directed by Ti West, and it featured Mia Goth playing two different characters, as both the antagonist and the protagonist in this trilogy. The prequel starts off Mia as the villain, Pearl. Unlike the protagonist, Maxine, that has her dreams come true, Pearl isn’t exactly given the same happy ending. If it hadn’t been for her killer self, maybe she would have had a chance in the ‘star world.’ Instead, we are given a total downfall of Pearl embracing her monstrous side, killing anyone that stands in her way. Pearl is determined to leave the farm and start a new life elsewhere, but her present life consumes her. I’...

‘The Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit’ is an Animated Cartoon that is Absolutely Terrifying

Image
  Credit to The Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit will be released on VHS, November 29th!! : r/Thewaltenfiles I’m not sure if any of you have heard of a cartoon/analog horror on YouTube known as The Walten Files, but damn, does everyone need to watch this standalone story known as The Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit . The story follows a group of kids on Halloween who are curious to investigate a house known as The Murder House. The group of kids (the kids are actually animals) don’t realize what sort of horrors await inside of the house…and damn…it ends up turning into a fight for survival. The kids are hunted by two people known as the Waterson's, a sheep and a rabbit, (yes, a sheep and a rabbit) who terrorize these poor children. And damn, these deaths do not hold back. One of the few scenes that broke me was when one kid refused to enter the house. He made all of the smart decisions, and he is the first one to die. The pumpkin rabbit appears, and the way he walks toward him is nightmar...
