I think a subtle point that separates Mendez from the other villains is the dialogue he has if he actually does kill Leon. Every other villain mocks Leon, or spits down on him - but Mendez just quietly says "May you find peace." Like, for all the corruption that has befallen him, you can still see the glimmer of who he once was.

Legit felt bad for Menedez, he seemed like a really devout village leader who cared for his people. And then his faith ends up keeping him a slave to Saddler.

It makes sense that he has vestiges of who he once was, like how he kept records on the condtition of the villiagers

What I find interesting is that before being infected, Mendez was one the ones doing the most damage the the plagas. He literally burned down a house at the request of the resident to keep the plaga contained. It seems like he was just trying to do the right thing for his people, but was tricked by Saddler. Before Los Illuminados, he was even starting to open up to the outside world. Compare what's described in the notes before Los Illuminados to after, and you see how far things have fallen after the plaga takeover. One of the saddest things that I think is still implied in the remake, if a little more subtle, is the tragic fate of all the village's children. It turns out that the plagas can't infect humans that haven't fully grown. This is why we never see any children or adolescents in the entire game. They all died, either by the plaga outgrowing their bodies, or even worse, being killed by their own familes.

Just so you know... The same cabin where Luis Serra Navarro was held when meeting Leon is the same cabin that belonged to Luis' grandfather. It's the burnt cabin next to the lake, and Luis was being kept there to wait for his another Las Plagas injection hence why Bitores had a syringe on him with the parasite. He used it in Leon instead though

In Leon's defense for his first encounters with Mendez I don't think he's dumb for not shooting him immediately. I think he's too well trained. Everyone else he kills up to that point was some degree of armed and coming after him or actively participating in a murderous public execution. Mendez snuck up on him, was unarmed and didn't give Leon time to react. If it had been one of the missing hikers or Ashley trapped in the basement and he had turned and fired he'd have had a civilian casualty on his conscience. He was doing the morally correct thing that he learned as a police officer to his own detriment.

Y'know, in a bit of a roundabout way, Mendez did atone for his failure. By letting Leon live when he could've up and murdered him easily twice in a row, he sealed the fate of the man who sealed his. He couldn't have known that Leon was the only thing that could've stopped the cult, but maybe some small part of him tucked away beneath the parasite's control recognized that maybe, just maybe, this outsider could save them all. And not only did Leon destroy the cult and kill Saddler, but as a result he freed all of the villagers, finally allowing them to die and ending their torment. RIP Chief Mendez. You didn't deserve any of this, but at least you're free in death.

Mendez' Remake design really sells the point that he isn't just the village leader, but it's priest too, and hence why it would have been easy to spread the faith of Los Illuminados. And the photos and the camera you can also find show that he had a very human hobby, that he inherited this role from his father and was urged to look after the village. And he wasn't just a priest and leader either: he was a teacher, and was clearly very close to his people in having dinner with a single family each night so he could keep on top of the issues in the village. But now his camera is shoved away in the dusty attic of his home, and he and his people are just reduced to mindless slaves of the cult. Though I really do like that chase sequence before his boss fight, with the dramatic soundtrack as you and Ashley flee from a horde of villagers while Mendez himself just strides after you both.

I love the backstory that Mendez is given in the remake. He went from a loving, generous leader to a twisted servant of a madman.

I like how Méndez's mutated form looks like the emblem of the Los Illuminados. To me, it really sells the fact that he's pretty much become the embodiment of their evil.

I love how all the characters in the remake have so much more weight to them. After I read Mendez’s notes I wanted to kill Saddler more.

It made him less showoffy, and made him more detestable. He manipulated and destroyed a town as a small piece of his goals; innocent people who had done nothing but live their lives and were on the way to a better one; industrialization, improvement of living conditions, autonomy over their farms and tasks like fishing, and overall opening up to the wider world. But Saddler was a man stuck in the past- his family was banished for a reason. And he just decides the greatest course of action was world domination.

Chief Mendez suffered a fate worse than death. I am glad he is put out of his misery.

I love the guttural roar that Leon makes when he gets chucked into a stack of boxes by Mendez.

I never noticed what an antithesis of Ramon that Mendez is. I was likely to young when I played the original to notice the nouance, but they are polar opposites in nearly all regards.

This highlights the difference between Mendez, Salazar and Krauser. Krauser seems to be fairly the same mentally, but Salazar and Mendez appears as little more than extensions of Saddler.

Another difference between Mendez and Salazar is that Mendez was a good and kind person where as Salazar was always evil.

I love this remake's portrayals of all the characters. They're so much more interesting and nuanced than in the original. Mendez being a good man gives him a tragic fall from grace, making him way more interesting.

I also feel it's not innocent that Mendez's design is so much closer to Mr.X, but also for Leon's growth as a character. Leon's theme in RE4R is about making a difference and saving people, proving that he has indeed changed (Claire was the only one who actually protected and saved someone back in 2, Leon saved no one despite his best effort). Everyone and everything in this game is all about reminding Leon that he won't make a difference and that he didn't change despite his training, like Krauser, Ada, or even Luis's death. And this extends to Mendez, who stalks Leon and repeatedly overpowers him, like X. The chase sequence is almost more psychological rather than physical, as it's really just a repeat of an unbeatable hulking brute hunting down Leon, and this time, Leon has to protect someone else in the process, but is very limited. It's the embodiment of Leon's trauma chasing after him, with his insecurities and doubt catching up to him. Good video, been watching your whole series on RE4R villains. Keep up the good work.

With both pieces of consumer electronics being the only pieces of modern technology you find in the village (Not counting the diesel operated fishing boats).

Mendez was always one of my favorite parts of this game. The remake did him considerable justice.

Brett I love that you contrasted Mendez to Salazar, I think it's the right way to go about it. Can you do a Leon and Krauser one, and a Leon and Luis one... I never thought about it before this game but Leon and Luis do share a lot, from being orphaned to being entangled with Umbrella during their early adulthood. Still can't believe my boi died, RIP Luis.

I think that sign of compassion to let Leon live may of been Menedez shred of humanity given he may of been merciful once.

Mendez seems to have been someone who cared for the people under his charge and wanted the village to prosper. Unfortunately, he was impressionable like the others and fell under the Illuminados scheme.

17:10 I wonder if Luis knew that his granddad asked Mendez to kill him by burning his house down with him in it to stop the spread of the infection. If not he probably hated him for it.

If Capcom will remake fifth part the same way, it is gonna be something.

What I always found interesting is that his transformation most closely resembles the Los Illuminados insignia, his two mutation arms being the upper part and his original, albeit now clawed hands being the lower half, with the extended spine making up the central vertical line. I think that's a cool parallel given that he's the leader of the villagers and now he's just been reduced to a symbol of Saddler's plaga cult.

The big thing I enjoyed about Mendez in remake is how casually he eats pistol bullets while getting shot. Getting shot up doesn’t even stop him from stopping to pick up his hat. Sure he’s strong, but the punishment this man could actively take and not care was arguably worse.

I understand that it's hard to believe that an American ex-cop would ask first and shoot later, but Leon trying to do that here makes some sense to me. Sure, he saw and fought Ganados, but he also saw Luis, and for all Leon knows, there might be other sentient survivors here. You said it yourself, he was in the village for an hour, and it's a relatively short piece of time. He isn't being dumb, he's willing to take chance in order not to hurt a potentially innocent person, because this is who Leon fundamentally is

I love everything about re4's story so much, it has so many different subplots you can pay attention to, hidden behind the more simple to the point "save Ashley!" Plot. The tension rises through the story, not only as the atmosphere becomes more and more hostile, but as the parasite spreads through you. It's just a constant from bad to worse. If it was made in like....a week like people say, well....holy shit! The tones also GREAT, its just like evil dead 2 where one minute is just pure dread and then the next is hilarious. (Also, I keep realizing just how much the devs love evil dead. First off the obvious chainsaw, then the fact that the villagers are a LOT like deadites, you're saving a girl named ASHLEY, even deflecting chainsaws is a LOT like that scene in evil dead 2 with linda in the shed. 7 in particular has SO MUCH INFLUENCE, girl named Mia, "Groovy" hand chopped off, double barrel, resurrection, even the black goop spreading through limbs. Did you do one of these for Jack yet? You might enjoy that.

One thing I love about this game is that , while in the original , the higher ups in the Illuminados used it as a means to an end for control , but in the remake this isn’t an ends to a mean they truly believe in the religion GLORIA LAS PLAGAS

25:40 In the words of Alucard. "Only a man(human) can kill a monster."

Really love your videos the way you analyze the characters backstories, motives, and character. Very enjoyable 😁

Gonna clarify since dominant plagas exist in the remake as well. Dominant las plagas cannot be controlled by saddler unless the person in question has a weak mental state big cheese must had been in a weak mental state when he finally realized saddler wasn’t helping the village. In the case of ramon he always had a weak mental state to begin with evident by him killing a maid and literally letting saddler dig plagas. So my guess is saddler gave big cheese a dominant las plagas knowing he wouldn’t have the will to resist him

As cool as the Dark Masters were, I feel they've become a bit lackluster, at least when compared to the villains that came before (Devimon, Myotismon, and Etemon) and after (The D-Reaper, Lucemon, and Kurata) For example, the Dark Masters, despite technically being the final villains of the original series, don't really feel much like a threat. Sure, they merged the the Digital World into that massive spire, but once they are properly confronted, they are taken out with relative ease. Both Machinedramon and Metalseadramon were one-shot by Wargreymon, and Puppetmon was so weak that I question why he was even considered a threat in the first place. The only Dark Master who proved himself worthy of the title was Piedmon, who took on and defeated multiple Mega and Ultimate Level Digimon before being sealed away by Magna Angemon.

In the AU where Sadler wins, would people like Ramon and Krauser still have their personalities, or would they too become mindless?
