OG Leon vs Remake Leon - Resident Evil 4 Comparison 

Animation for OG characters are super fast and impact ful and CHAD

hey it's me

​@@codehunk3669 the neck destroyer himself

God damn it OG Leon fking awesome. Remake is nonsense.

All the “cut content” was retooled and every section was expanded except for the suspended crate holders. This statement aged like milk.

😂

Pretty much how I feel after missing the last blue medallion in the remake

Just like us the players

I mean wouldn’t you be if you haven’t had a vacay since 1998?

Yeah

And so the players.

​@@betorockmetalFax

Remake Leon is cohesive with the history. (RE2)

@@TipoIrritable remake Leon is soulles dog water filler guy

@@Hjjjjj254Remake Leon is the badass gubernamental agent who actually know what’s he’s doing. OG Leon it’s a Jackie Chan wannabe, cliche af

Lol

Yeah, it's always funny how Dante is the derivative of Leon, and castle locations in first Devil May Cry is basically first iteration of RE4.

​@@ringard5172It's more like RE4 Leon is the derivative of Dante. That version of the game was before they made Leon the protagonist.

@@tylerrichardson3034 Leon from RE2 is still the base and Dante from original DMC is one of the possible takes on the character-evolution of that base. So no. Dante is the one who is derivative.

@ringard5172 Except they weren't using Leon as the base for Dante, he was an original character and then after they chose to use Leon for 4 they made him more Dante like. RE4 Leon is the derivative.

Ikr, just when the game looked like it gone as far as it could, they opened up a whole new world of entertainment.

It would have really benefitted the game to have them communicate with Leon, especially Saddler since he wasn't in the game as much as OG. Back in the day I loved the "senior moment perhaps" part a lot and the Salazar talks. It made these villains more intimidating but gave them personality as they took over Leon's coms and gave no more since Hunnigan was our go to coms when things were going chaotic. I do like Luis and Ada's coms talks but we didn't need much compared to villains who have less screen time. In the og I wanted so badly to beat that little shit Salazar in the og because he was always taunting Leon, being one step ahead due to Saddler's plans and once you get to those points you get gratification knowing you finally beat that nuisance that taunted you all through the castle. Plus it would have helped lore wise with some of them telling Leon why they are such a threat, having Salazar briefly explain his family lineage or Saddler speaking of his family or motivations and why in his views he is right as the best villains always imagine themselves as the heroes. Wesker said it best: "I'm not destroying the world, I am curing it".

​@@martistheartist7494agreed on your point of "it could give them a chance to explain their backstory" but it DID NOT made them look more intimidating at all hell even the OG was aware of that since leon always made fun of them like: "Saddler you are small time" "Your left hand comes off?" "Don't remember being part of your crappy Script"

@@carlosescamilla5260 Yeah that is my bad I shouldn't have used intimidating or whichever phrase I put.

@@martistheartist7494 Nah but still i mean i understand that this leon is more grim but man i guess my nostalgia gets the better of me since i want good ol' leon sarcastic kennedy

It's like New Leon's perspective is wider than Ada's butt.

It's like new Leon isnt from 2004, when the story is set. Instead he's afraid of being cancelled.

@@ignotumperignotius630 no, it’s just most people don’t say sexist stuff anymore

​@@ignotumperignotius630 agree, same reason for Ramon Salazar that looks old, cause Leon afraid of being called "child abuse" 😂

@@Wesfkgkejeifnr except for woketards, who say sexist shit against men all the time...

​​@@LazyDarwinnd that's exactly why they changed him up

@@LazyDarwinit could be like that meme where it goes “If I don’t make it into a joke it will destroy me”. In a world where zombies and monster exist not surprising you’d lose a few scews in the way you cope dealing with them

@@LazyDarwin Leon gotten use it over the years.

@@s2wuolf508 yeah something like if they pretend everything's a big joke then when time comes they can become serious

@@theamazingspooderman2697 its not really pretending its a big joke, its literally accepting what is going on infront of you is fucked and finding an emotional outlet to calm yourself and keep yourself focused and releasing the stress from those situations.

I'd say the new voice actors and actresses are all good, except Ada. The original games voice actors and actresses did it very well. They really went in with the cheesiness.

RE4, Onimusha 3, Street Fighter 4, DMC3... all had perfect VA

Remake Ada sounds like a mother who slipped too much nyquil in her morning martini

Agreed but I personally didn’t like krauser

​@@LostCosta I don't like any of them. Even Ashley feels...Off. Ashley in the OG felt like a 20 year old college student. She was annoying and out of water in this scenario and it felt appropriate. Ashley in the remake feels like a 35 year old woman writing a 35 year old woman, and such as rescuing her feels not nearly as good. She doesn't feel as helpless and it doesn't really match the game's tone.

Great observation, that makes a lot of sense.

@@classicjadeysschambers4578😂😂😂😂

@@classicjadeysschambers4578 I don't know why, but this made me chuckle.

​@@classicjadeysschambers4578 lmaooo

It's dumb how Leon approaches her in the remake tho. Dude what was a cop acts like he has no idea how to console a scared woman.

Let's not forget he also voiced the Merchant in the original.

@@Ivory5547 I prefer the og merchant, the new one talks too much and repeats lines often, it gets annoying. After the first "gun rhymes with fun..." I was like ok shut up now lol

@@foxsmith770 Repeats lines often? Have you ever heard the original? The new one has so many different lines now compared to original, not only for general stuff but special purchases and sales too.

Don't forget Ada's "Kiss and Tell" line. The Remake changed "kiss" to "work". So lame.

I somehow got a feeling that Capcom is trying to tone down the "male fantasy" much, OG Leon was a real badass, he doesn't talk much and had a real sarcastic tone to the enemies, they even got to the point of changing the story, for example is in the og, Leon immediately went for the first to the plaga removal chair, while in the remake they made it that he and Ashley are already in a critical state so Ashley had to be first anyway in the dangerous procedure

That perfectly sums up the difference between the two. One is more serious while the other is more relaxed.

You know what funny is? Ramon Salazar still know leon name even his use codename when contact with hunnigan.

​@@LunaR34 probably because they all connected to a "holy body". Thats why salazar knows his middle name

​@A guy who lifts or because Krauser probably warned them that leon would be sent after ashley

In the original's files it's said the whole operation was done in a rush since they couldn't trust many agents after Ashley was kidnapped cause it was clear someone who had access to confidential informations was involved (Krauser), that's why Leon was sent in a solo mission in Spain to find informations about Ashley's whereabouts, so it actually made sense that they didn't even have codenames and everything, Leon was sent in europe as soon as the intel got informations about the sighting of a girl who looked like Ashley in a rural area of spain.

Nah it’s like 2 different paths re4 remake he has survivors guilt from re2 and in re4 he got the biggest ego from what happened

In the original RE2, Leon was much more driven to help people compared to remake, where he approaches everyone with a gun and acts entitled. Re4 Leon is still just as straightforward as remake's isnt.

Ah yes comes to life

OG's a Gigachad. I loved when he would taunt him about the "Senior Moment." situation that Salazar was having while having a laugh at all of the enemies failures and weirdness the entire game.

at least they put it in a achievement

too toxic and masculine i guess

​@@NumbDigger22 I think they've gone for a more serious Leon that understands the severity of the situation.

they told us to "do better"

No way Pawel

So accurate! I'm mostly Og Leon with people. But remake Leon is very much me in real tho.

Its the difference between a boy and a man

Felt that one on a personal level. 😂

@@miguelbranquinho7130 .... No?

MVP comment

It's a classic Midwestern humor vibe, he nails it.

he is a prome example of American

​@@MrAcer4America is a mistake

Well, if you were saddled with the shrieky baggage that was OG Ashley, you'd think you were too cool for her, too. Remake Leon is trying to maintain an older-brother frame, because (1) that's more calming to a frightened girl, and (2) making her feel capable makes her less afraid and less baggage-y.

@@juliebartlett4222 nah og is a chad

​@@juliebartlett4222also, if you're in the secret service like Leon, you're going to end up in a bad place if you're caught doing things to the president's daughter.

​@@ferdinand5223 true that, even if he tried to stay professional, no way she would let him.

He didn’t say “you’re too good for me” it seems like he just let her down easy this time instead of just jumping to no lol, which I’m fine with because remake Ashley is 20 times more likeable

Yeah, the cheesyness from the OG makes sense once you realize Leon was supposed to be Dante. 😂😂😂

No. DMC1 was created from a discarded beta version of RE4, after the developers discovered a glitch that allowed Leon to hover in midair while shooting.

@@brunoneves6455 other way around big dog

@@Ghost_of_James_Doakes Which means Dante was made first, because what would become DMC1 was an earlier draft of what would become RE4. That being said I'm pretty sure they just shared a model, "Tony Redgrave", is who the NotE4 protag was going to be, not Leon. Though they considering how he turned out, I'm sure Leon took quite a bit from him personality wise and not just his model.

The realest comment here

That was kind of the point. By being sassy not only he made himself and Ashley feel safe in a horrifying situation, but the player as well.

In serious situations ya gotta have humour.

because he emits more confidence

because he seems more confident and cocky and hes cracking jokes

Wamen 🍵

But doesn't og leon say "story of my life" at the end though!

@@kawaiipie5475 yea but this comment is sarcastic... i think.....

At least he is not gay

Your GOODDAM Right Leon 💜💫👑👌

OG leon is the smoothest dude on the planet

I’m pretty sure it’s just depression over him having to kill his zombified comrades. Also he was trained by Krauser so I see why he’s serious

His mental issues come from having relive that nightmare that was the raccoon city outbreak and Nick (leon) perfectly portrays him as that, expanding the character compared to the og, making it more realistic.

​@@baddiegaming758 Yes right thank you re4 ORIGINAL is better than remake cut content and changes and realisem drama dark serious OG leon is badass cool dante action hero

Of all that nothing would have happened, had he just kicked the apple juice addiction and continued the Redfield Lineage.

Where to find more of cannonical leon ? I am new to this franchise ?

"Realistic" is an overrated term for a series inspired by cheesy 80 action horror movies.

​@@selenophile5256 hey, basically this new canonical version that the comment guy mentioned refers to the new approach that capcom is taking in remakes of the original games, so basically if you want to know more about Leon's story, play the resident evil 2 remake (if haven't already played) which tells the story of the raccon city incident, chronologically 6 years before the resident evil 4 remake. And you will understand why leon is like that in re4.

​@@rorschach1985ifyAre you saying Leon shouldn't carry himself like someone who survived one of the most horrifying experiences, escaped said city HOURS before it was blown to hell, and watched multiple people die?! Leon doesn't have to be a cartoon character, treating him like a real person who's been through hell and trying to deal with it makes him much more relatable and as a result makes him finally conquering this trauma extremely satisfying. I understand if you prefer the original version and to it's credit it's absolutely hilarious and fun for it's own reasons. It's like comparing Adam West Batman with Christopher Nolan Batman, both have their own strengths and weaknesses.

giving that context - in the remake he says ''y'know those things are gonna kill ya'' giving a simpathy air from luis since leon used to smoke too, giving a brother advice of some sort and at the end, when luis is dying, leon lights his cigarrete in respect for luis - and since he is already dying

I didn't know that

Leon never smoked his lighter was a keepsake from his father you would know that if you were a real fan

@@TheRealTact Don't sound so condescending.

@@TheRealTact man, the second part was just plain unnecessary, dont say things like that

20 years old btw 💀

Well, he is supposed to be more grotesque.

theres a mod that adds his hat back and it makes him look a lot better, not sure why they removed it

The fact he doesn't have his hat is the real issue

​@@fazelfarrokhi1998Og Leon simp and clown.

Apt analysis

Thats just rude

Leon: "So anyway, I started blasting."

Should’ve said no thanks bro and started shooting 😂 best of both worlds

@@user-br9nd1zq4o 🤣 " No thanks bro! " *Headshoot

That's most likely because most people would just start shooting than listening first lol.

"Won't fall for this old trick" Implying that Leon has been dropped into a 500 foot hole with spikes at the bottom several times in the past And he also somehow realizes that Salazar had a listening device at the bottom to hear the impalement of his enemies Everything is so great

@Mister_Clean the trap door is a classic trope in the movies, probably what he meant

pretty much everything they omitted or changed is a downgrade.

The act itself is all the reason one needs. Chad on every level, even if he make several airheaded decisions. But then again, a true chad lets the villain monologue instead of just peppering him with lead on the spot doesn't he? Classy.

@@CountSpartula Yeah, he can say his boring crap, nothing will change that I am saving the 19 year old.

@@CountSpartula A true Chad impaled the villian hand with his knife and made him cried like a bitch

​@@haivuong7956no, a true chad shoots the villain in the head because he's sick of his monologues.

@@rockycuro7737 Salazar was annoying as fuck in the original RE4 so humiliated him feel better

The OG interactions between Leon and Salazar were some of the best from original. Bro had Salazar getting more and more pissed off at his refusal to die 😂

Salazar is more resistant to trolling, you can shoot the same device and he'll just laugh it off Edit : well I just realized the reason why, that just mean we're provoked by his taunts

well, they removed one of my fav line: "No thanks, Bro."

Their radio sessions had one of the most goofiest lines

Yes right thank you re4 ORIGINAL is better than remake cut content and changes and realisem drama dark serious OG leon is badass cool dante action hero

The whole world is at stake, I don't think you can take that "too seriously" 😂

Nah new Leon is sick of everyone’s shit and wants to go home

Remake Leon really needs some therapy. 😂 The OG can deal with PTSD just fine that's why he is loved that much.

It's almost as if it's a serious situation he is in 😳

​@@BlazeVentureZone The reason he deals with it so well is because the writers don't make it apart of his character. He basically could have been a new character who never went through trauma and it would still work. They acknowledge in the new one that Leon is trying to deal with it and still makes quips and cracks jokes, it's just not his main personality trait like in the original.

Thing is, remake is still goofy but in a bad, flat way not in a charming and awesome way the original was.

i feel like resident evil village did a better job at capturing the absurd vibe of original re4 in a realistic manner than the re4 remake did

@cuttrogue ironically, the remake was heavily censored. It's missing a bunch of stuff that made the atmosphere of the original so terrifying. The crucified, disembowled corpses, mutilated animals, mass graves... ALL GONE If they were going for a more realistic, grounded approach, that was the ONE thing they should have gotten right. I mean it's a Resident Evil game for Christ's sake

@Mister_Clean I know. Not only censored, but blatant corners cut - Mike's crashed chopper is completely missing and replaced by a silly little fire in the distance. In the og you could even inspect the crash cite with an interractible prompt. Missing details like this spoil the whole remake.

​@@cuttrogueIt was westernized lmfao. Poor remake, still can have fun in it but that creepy, unshakable "Silent Hill" ambiance is missing from the game. Seeing the corpses of the villagers that tried to fight back.. Jesus..

@@mikulover12 really wanted to see that bar scene after he promised us alchol

i mean the chopper blew off. i think he defo rest in piece. or pieces

Yes, because it was shot better. There's a load of shots in the original that were done better with the camera

I feel the cinematography of the original was better.

@@billybro1403 Way superior. IN the REMAKE, they scrapped a lot of cutscenes and kept the game running, like when the wolf shows up again. Modern gamers think that's good, and immerses them more. But personally I like that the pace of the original RE4 gets broken up by little cutscenes. They also had way better facial animation, and the aesthetic of the game was better. Triple A gaming with photo realistic graphics makes everything look the same, it doesn't spark your imagination, and that - Is why most modern games kind of stink a little. The Remake is fine though, it looks like it plays fun. It's just too bad the Original still plays better lol

@@zion6680 you are way too full of nostalgia. The remake is way better in every way possible.

@@aceghostrus122 Hey if you like it better man, more power to you right? I still think the original both plays better, is animated better, and it doesn't take itself super seriously. They feel like two completely different games. The remake is by no means a bad game, but it's a completely different flavor 👌

I love his roasting moments

Well said. So much soul in the performance.

​@@BigBossIvanI disagree. Leon shoots first, asks questions later in the remake. I prefer that Leon. OG Leon let's Salazar and Saddler ramble too much. The remake Leon is more bad hass and doesn't have the patience for their bull.

​@samspade8830 New Leon was also way more boring, and less entertaining. Yes og was a lil Cheesy but so are the Japanese people cheesy humor is part of their culture, new Re4 was more realistic, but old Re4 was more entertaining.

@@syminite1 as Gaben said “I’ve never went to the grocery store and thought ‘oh this is fun.’ Realistic doesn’t mean fun.”

@@syminite1 Calling Leon "boring" is subjective. I like the realistic approach. Cheesy characters are for children, in my opinion. I want a realistic story. I want a grounded character, not a cheesy one. But if you like cheesy Leon, that's your right. Also, calling Japanese people "cheesy" is subjective. Remember, it's the Japanese who developed RE4 Remake, so clearly they can write serious video game stories with serious video game characters.

when you know you have Plot Armor

@@superiorgaming8086 I mean *in universe* He's basically making the most of the situation

It actually makes more sense this way, tbh. Leon grumbling about smoking being bad for you early on gets recontextualized when Leon lights Luis's cig for him. Just that tacit acknowledgment that Luis is dying, and that he's earned Leon's respect. It wouldn't hit the same with "got gum" being the prelude to it.

@@Chris-nn3vu buddy, you realize both spellings are correct, right?

​@@VeiaMixuruca-gb6be I don't disagree, I'm just stating why Leon captivated a lot of fans in the original, and being "cool and heroic" was definitely a large part of it.

I can't stand this take. Og Ashley acted perfectly normal, wasn't bratty or overbearing. She a 19 year old "Child" who probably never even been in a fight before, now kidnapped and taken to another country. She acted normal in this situation even displayed bravery in helping Leon out.

​@VeiaMixuruca-gb6be But that's what makes og Leon so much better, he delivered his lines but they didn't take away from the atmosphere of fright.

@@syminite1 Yeah, I actually agree with this. She was 19 and acting 15/16, which matches that "spoiled kid" character of the president's daughter.

I love how Ada is swinging through the air like Spider-Man just a minute after that, and they say the Remake is more grounded...

Remake Leon is great, but OG Leon is iconic

OG Leon is more entertaining which is what matters the most.

@@mattersondoom it is basically the difference between Kevin Conroy as his iconic DC Superhero & Will Friedle playing Batman with at least an attempted matured voice following Kevin's legacy. Will does almost sound like Nick A in some instances, given the delivery of the line. One is iconic and the other is a good substitute/mentor student.

@@mattersondoomi like voices they feel more real and sound more soothing especially Ada’s voice and designs in RE2 remake and RE4 remake are miles ahead compare to OG one

Then you're gonna have a blast playing Devil May Cry. OG leon is practically Dante, and it's the closest we'll ever get from a devil may cry x resident evil crossover.

To be honest, they sound more like an afterthought with the single purpose to reference the OG randomly for NoStAlGiA, since some of them look out of place, given the change of tone.

The most emotional Leon got in the entire remake was holding Ashley's hand when they were removing las plagas from her. The rest of the game he has the same face dropping worse one liners than in the og, this remake is like if I remade DMC3 but Dante was all sad and serious the whole game because his mom is dead. If remake Leon was what we got on 2004 he wouldn't be even half as loved as he is. Without mentioning how both Ramon and saddler are way more bland here unlike in the OG where every time Leon fucks with them is comedy gold. In general the remake just feels less alive than the og, more generic and forgettable I'll admit the death of Luis was better in the remake though, the voice actor nailed it, but the removal of the "I got gum" line is very sad because it's a really funny and smart way to show Leon quit smoking instead of "those things can kill you"

It makes a lot of sense

I think the original vibe and nonchalant attitude of the characters and especially Leon fit the times of when the game came out. Noone cared about a great or well written story, most games were just about playing as a badass guy who enjoys the thrill. That kind of got old because too many games were like that which is why they changed his character and made the game a little more real and relatable

And he start talking again till he really2 died 🤣

So true. New Ada apperel is kinda... bruh(

People who miss Ada's cocktail sheath have never tried to do anything while wearing one. Seriously, that was easily the most unrealistic part of the OG. (inb4 someone comes along to snowflake about how she regularly does Olympics-level gymnastics in a tight corset, stilettos, and hoop earrings because lol what's medical science)

@@juliebartlett4222 it's a game. It's NOT MEANT TO BE REALISTIC. cry harder, femitard

​@@juliebartlett4222 You kinda have a point here, but on the other hand, I found some pretty amazing gymnastic done by girls in dresses in YT, so not so impossible. +I think realism was not the very point of the OG Re4 But in Remake it make sense tho. In so grounded and realistic game some woman-spy in red dress might looks weird

I dont. Krauser in the Remake is more psychotic and crazy compared to OG Krauser.

New Krauser sounds like a Menace, While Old Krauser sounds an actual Leader or Real boss

An actual reasonable comment with a fair comparison, one of the few ones I’ve seen. Nice.

Yeah i feel like re engine force to change leon personality due to how dark and scary the atmosphere is i can see how unfitting og leon would be in new graphic tone. Og leon in 2000 never experience darkness and scary moment once because how bright the game is

The whole grounded take is so stupid. People have different ways of coping with trauma, both versions are realistic enough given the human emotional spectrum.

​@@DGP406 exactly, it's just used as an excuse now

which means we can ignore everything after 4 and re7 is infact the 5 we should have gotten rather then mr steroids doing a very long pepsi commercial.

Gotta love fascism disguise as "wholesomeness"

Fr no Woman and no thanks bro lines

Dude no, it's literally just a different tone the game is more grounded and realistic so Leon is more grounded and realistic but he still has the classic Leon sass

@@pancakes_go2940 Nope, the goofy tone remains. Leon backflips for no reason when the chainsaw sisters attacks, he literally performs a anime jump before killing Sadler, etc.. Capcom just avoided the Twitter sewage, which will make RE4 dated yet again. That's the irony, if in the mid 00s the "dark" humor (more like silly humor) was a trend, now the censorship of said humor is the current trend. Every entertainment company follow trends because it's easier, a lazy scapegoat, but the negative aspect is just that: trends make these products dated. Alan Wake 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 are no different, the recent Prince of Persia, etc.. in 10, 15 years from now, people will look back and laugh about them (just like we laugh right now, looking back at RE4 and Warrior Within)

@@RRRRRRRRR33 im not reading all that but im sad that happened or im happy to hear

They communicate telepathically through plagas hallucinations

Same with Leon and Salazars communications.

honestly most of the villains coincidentally having radios was really strange, and they knew the exact frequencies to use, I mean yeah its cheesy fun but it bugged me alot back then

@@Motivation_snack6668 I mean, they replaced it with Luis and Ada. So it’s still unrealistic

​@@Motivation_snack6668 I mean they still could have put those conversations thanks to the speakers, they really underutilized that. Salazar and specially Sadler lost a lot of their charm from OG.

Graphics still look pretty good in the original

Still Hotter

@@BigGreen945 yes the graphics are good in both but the remake are better although the original is more of Chad

Original is more stylized. Remake just looks like every other modern game

@@DrStabkill This is the most accurate comment ever written.

13:05 also sarcastic ada was great too.

BORING that's what he is in the remake

He's still pretty damn snarky in the remake

​@@nikolaykim play the original then and stop whining

Leon's appearance in the remake version seemed sensationless

no it isn't, is not realistic.

OG Leon had plenty of one liners but Remake Leon is saying them even during boss battles. It completely demolishes any tension.

@@sebastian6121it absolutely is. I’ll buy another copy just for you ❤

@@sebastian6121 What I really mean is that new Leon is more consistent with his trauma from RE2 where as OG Leon feels like he knows he's apart of a fictional world and is playing along with it. Regardless if you like the acting, I think "realistically" it makes more sense.

@@sebastian6121 when most people say re4 remake is realistic they are comparing it to the OG game. Which is true Leon is more grounded in the remake, hes alot more realistic he actually gets scared, hes a bit depressed aswell.

I disagree. The OG RE2 Leon and OG RE4 Leon seem like 2 different characters because of how different they are. It’s a lot more believable in the remakes that he is the same character, since they act very similar. I still think the OG RE4 Leon is better than the remake Leon.

The new trend is realism. Even if reality is sad.

​@@nightinxgale7083of course they feel different. Leon is an special agent with went to many missions and underwent a training in RE4. In the OG RE2 he is just a rookie first day cop,and he was entering his 20 yo,so there is a lot of room for a change,he doesn't have to remain the same character.

i agree original is best to his character and matches all other leon in games

@@alekijr.777i think both are certainly true,

It's up to the localisation team.

@@ShamliseG We got the woke western localization team. :D

What about the ballistics?

@@reiryghts639 Not in the game, in English or Japanese.

yeah, and in japanese og re4 leon says “story of my life” as his catchphrase alot, but now its returned although im unsure since even tho i couldve got og biohazard in jp, i wanted to get the american version so that i could see the gore

The lines were objectively bad? Excuse you!?

@@Mayhzon No Thanks... Bro!

Using the word objectively subjectively will never be not funny

Hope you understand the definition of objectively by now rookie
