What Makes Him Pure Good?[]
In General[]
- While Ethan isn’t exactly a trained soldier or spy looking to save the world like Chris, Leon, Jill & Ada, he stands out for doing everything in his power to save his family Mia & Rose, like losing limbs and having his heart ripped out and his low resources.
- In spite of being lethal, most of the people Ethan killed was out self-defense like Mia and Jack, were monsters like the Lycans or molded, or had it coming such as Miranda, Dimitrescu & Eveline,
- Although he’s brutal at times, such as when he put an axe into Mia’s shoulder presumably killing her, running Jack over with a car, drilling the inside of Jack’s head with a chainsaw making his top half blow up from the inside out, and stabbing the Angie doll in the head with scissors knowing it is sentient but not that it’s Donna herself, this doesn’t happen too often nor does he show sadism and this was in self-defense.
- Although he does show hatred towards villains such as Mother Miranda, Eveline, and the House Lords, this is heavily justified, since they were cruel and evil individuals who had hurt a lot of people for their own gains. Not to mention Miranda and the House Lords brutally tore apart his infant daughter, hence his anger towards them being completely reasonable.
