There is no excuse question, I just wanna talk about how cool HUNK is
Fuckin love that guy and his whole deal of just being a grunt who’s really good at his fucking job. He’s the Boba Fett of RE.
Shame the game dedicated to him sucks ass, did give us probably his coolest render
It’s really funny as well as I’m not normally a fan of the “tacticool” school of aesthetics, but damn it works for him. I dig it in the same way I dig Winter Soldier’s initial comic and initial movie looks. Helps as well that HUNK’s got a light kit on him. 4 guns at maximum (RE2 remake) and just 1 at the minimum (RE4 Mercenaries) and he’ll make it work.
Though you gotta admit from a lore perspective…he really doesn’t do anything important. Like that G virus sample is one of a million dropped plot points, he never interacts with the main protagonists barring a spin off game of dubious canon, and has only one hard canon event of The 4th Survivor story. Also just the oddity of Umbrella having 2 military trained units of the Security Service (HUNK’s division) and the UBCS (Carlos’ division) and they apparently have nothing to do with each other.
