So, I'm finally home from South Dakota. Which sounds kind of relieved, but really it isn't that big of a deal. I had fun in South Dakota. Crickey was awesome and we beat so many games while I was there. Including RE5, which I just had to have due to my insane love of Wesker. Evil crazy dude that he is.

Which is part of the reason I'm posting this blog.

Is it a bad thing that I feel a kind of understanding towards people with his point of view. It can basically be summed up in one quote: "Everyday humans come one step closer to self destruction. I'm not destroying the world, I'm saving it." Saving it, of course, being the act of releasing a parasite/virus into the atmosphere and people with "superior DNA" would be accepted by it and become stronger while those without would turn into the not-quite-but-sorta-zombies you fight throughout the game. Or the other assortment of fun monsters.

I was watching the ninth cutscene on youtube, the one before your fight with him, and I found myself a little frustrated that Chris and Sheva can't understand. I mean, I don't doubt that Wesker was a little insane but that doesn't make his point any less valid. With overpopulation and the abundance of stupid running around, I think a little forced Darwinism wouldn't hurt. I think Wesker was a bit off with his ideas though, since Uroboros doesn't really "accept" people. It kind of just turns them into parasites. The only reason he wasn't was because he already had a virus strain in his system.

But I didn't write this blog to go off about that.

I can just see where he's coming from. I've had to put up with some really stupid people in my life, we all have, and I don't just say that because of people I've met with differing opinions. I say that because I've met some real idiots. And part of me wonders where along the line you get to be so angry about it that you decide to unleash a parasite into the atmosphere to turn everyone onto zombies. Not that they don't act like zombies anyway. But, really. I think some douche bag hit his dog when he was a little Wesky and then, one day, the guy at Starbucks didn't give him extra foam and he just drew the damn line in the sand.

Thanks a lot, Starbucks drone #348.

I'm not saying I agree with it on a whole, I guess, since that's basically genocide. But there's no way to approach this without coming off like some kind of neo-Nazi. Which I'm not I just...really, really hate stupid people. Then again, who clarifies what "superior DNA" entails? Even Wesker had to take drugs to keep his virus in check and you (SPOILER) never really know if he would have "overcome" Uroboros since Chris and Sheva kill him at the end of RE5 (KAY, I'M DONE NOW).

For all I know, the stupid people could end up ruling the planet in which case I suppose I wouldn't care anyway since I'd be dead. Hopefully. Wow, look at me just assume that I'm better than everyone else. Did I mention I have a superiority complex? Anyway.

I don't know. I really think if Chris considered it, Wesker wasn't exactly wrong in his ideals. He was just very drastic. Really drastic. Insanely drastic. But I think the only thing Chris notices about him is the insane part. I mean, I bet he's had to deal with some real idiots too and even though he never acted on it, he probably thought "Man, I could just pistol whip this guy if I wanted to." It explains why he's so stoic when Chris is like, very livid. I mean, all he can do is stand there and think of something he could do but won't because it would be "wrong." Meanwhile, Wesker's standing there like "Whatever" because in the back of his mind he's laughing evilly (well, it's more of a chuckle, really) because he knows that once his plans reach fruition? This guy's worm food.

If, you know, Chris would just let his plans reach fruition.

Which, of course, he never does because Wesker's crazy and evil. Except he's not, really, he just realizes that the humans are kinda stupid and savage. I bet he and the Comedian would get along really well.

He and Rorschach might hit it of but the leather would probably throw the vigilante off.

What was I saying? Oh, right...that.

I don't know. It's just interesting to think about what compells antagonists. Like, Chris compares Wesker to a comic book villain (which amuses me since that means Chris has actually been exposed to comics) towards the end of the game. And I kind of wonder if Chris ever actually considered what drove the villains as opposed to just cheering for the good guys. Of course, just after writing that sentence I realize how stupid it was. Not so much because I think Chris is an idiot as it is just...he's the All American kind of guy. Of course he wouldn't actually consider why anyone "bad" did what they did. It was just bad.

He lives in a very black and white world.

Though, conversely, so does Wesker I guess. But at least he has a virus that sapped away his humanity. What's your excuse, Chris?
