not groovy

Why wouldn't he be? Because he's not a gigantic hunk like every other male in the series?

He's okay. I wish he'd look a bit cooler though.

He needs more one-liners. Or any liners for that matter

CANONICALLY

Yes, in terms of memes Leon is the best but Ethan is actually the most likeable, chainsaw duels and all.

No. He's a boring blank slate everyman. It works fine for RE7, since its an fps and way less character-focused, but not a good template for the franchise. I would much have rathered play as any other pre-established character in 8.

No.

He's better than Steve at least, but most of the other characters are better.

Ethan is just milquetoast, there's not anything there to like.

Fuck no.

because he lacks personality and by playing as him the game expects me to care about his horribly unlikeable wife over the cool and helpful trailer trash girl

He's an okay blank slate self-insert.
I don't see the point of bringing him back in RE8 instead of just having a new main character.

He is in the only good Resident Evil game so I would say so.

The game completely falls apart if you don't pick the wife which tells me how deluded the devs were about her appeal.

Ethan deserved better than her. Hopefully we get the dual girl choice again in 8 and he can choose both, arm stumping the vampire mom and just using molded power dick thrusts into another.

Yes, it's a normal guy, and not the classic super soldier hero. I like it.

RE5/RE6 Chris is the only "gigantic hunk" RE male protagonist. Leon is consistently lean, and RE1/CV Chris is lean.

As far as FPS horror protagonists go, he's pretty awesome but he pales in comparison to Leon and Jill. Dunno why people get so assblasted about him and his game, though.

He looks like a meek faggot and I don't care for his personality.

I prefer hin to show up in the next games over any other classic character with exception of Jill and Barry.
All of the classic cast have a dozen of games to develop a personality.Why Ethan doesnt deserve the same?

I liked him in 7

He’s fine. He’s just not not what many seem to expect from RE protagonists. He’s stupid but not constantly schlocky and ‘cartoony’. He needs an updated design however. His current one just looks awful

This looks awful to you?

Absolutely. I hope the Evil Dead-ness continues in 8 and that he is more Evil Dead 2-Ash as compared to him being more Evil Dead 1-Ash in 7.

Ethanchads...will we ever stop winning?

not only do we share the same name, but we also share the same face
i don't like him

Who is? The game is universally regarded as one of the best Res games and Ethan has a lot of fans here.

No we will not, friend. Golden times ahead.

Did you know in the official canon ethan is the only protag to have blasted his dick deep inside a girl and driven her to perma-ahegao?

The problem with Ethan is that he's barely given much to work with. At least in RE1 Chris and Jill had a cast to play off of, even if only occasionally, but after the opening of the game the only interactions you get are with Zoe in phone calls and the final meeting, and the equivalent of boss demos and Lucas being a dick. Ethan's mostly snarking at the bosses or muttering to himself. If he had more to work with, he would stand out more as a character, though there's an argument to be made that the PSVR focus kept the devs focused on immersion rather than standing there talking.

It seems RE8's at least attempting to have more character interaction and do shit with Ethan as a character rather than be a VR sock puppet.

i wish he looked cool, his personality is decent

Having everyone be like Leon would stretch belief a little bit. He's meant to be a more normal guy.

I don't remember him in REmake

I'll be 100% honest, Ethan is just fine. He's likeable enough but pretty milquetoast and unremarkable. I just like shitposting with all the other Ethanbros because of how buttblasted the Leonfags and Jillfags are over his return in 8.

The leaks said he'll be like Ash William's in Evil Dead 2 in 8, so I'm very excited to see that character development for him

>BRO THE WACKY FOURTH WALL BREAK LOOK HE MADE FUN OF THE SERIES TRADITION SO FUCKING FUNNY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Zoomers like you deserve the rope.
