lets talk about how wesker’s finger was not on the trigger during that one cutscene in re5 because it Haunts me.
you could say “trigger discipline” but thats a stupid argument and you know it. why would he not be actively ready to shoot chris?? well whether it was subconscious or not its cause he didnt WANT to shoot chris in that scene. plain and simple. if he wanted to he would’ve at LEAST had his FINGER ON THE FUCKING TRIGGERRRR!!!!!
i think at his core he wanted chris to understand him. he wanted chris to have a “change of heart” and join him. i think wesker truly believed that chris was good enough for this “new world” of his. esp the line where he’s like “WHY CAN’T YOU UNDERSTAND!!!” idk if you’d say that to someone if you really dgaf if they understand or not and just want them dead. but hey. thats just my opinion.
also a bit of a throwback to the line from re1 where wesker goes “you’ll never understand, chris”. he says that and then raves on about his science project like he Wants chris to understand and i think thats the same in re5 but hes more blatant about it.
i think for wesker its part ego and part genuinely wanting chris to join and understand him. its like “Well if you wont join me then i’ll show you what greatness you’re missing out on” yaknow. i feel like thats why he always seemed to willing to explain himself in both re1 and re5.
