I saw a post on twitter. Someone rewriting the RE Requiem with Jill as the second protagonist and hmmmmm I kinda love it.
Leon is great, no doubt. But Jill's story was all about finding the cure in RE 3 Remake...she lost it. And she also has been infected and mind controlled. Raccoon City is her city, where she worked and lived. Her going back and getting elpis while fighting another, more intelligent nemesis type, Victor Gideon, who experiments in people...just like how she was experimented on by Albert Wesker. Fighting Zeno, a clone of the man who basically made you a puppet and used you to kill others. Now, he is trying to manipulate another innocent woman.
Even in the bad ending, her sacrificing herself to save Grace would be so...tasteful, considering she has actually killed innocent people while under P30 drug. Her saying "At least I saved you..." And then getting killed by, again, a Wesker clone...the very avatar of the man who betrayed her in every way possible. UFFF!!
She goes back to the police department she worked in, now completely desolate and destroyed. Fighting zombies in the streets the way she fought them off, back in 1998. The same streets she walked and roamed on, so many times!
The cure she couldn't secure because she feels like she failed people. Because she left Nicholai Zinoviev back then. Maybe if she had taken him hostage...this T-virus infection would not be wrecking her body right now. Killing even more people. She will also be so similar to Alyssa Ashcroft for Grace, just like Leon was. Except, this will be a new experience for her and for us. Seeing Jill Valentine be a girlmom, a mentor, just like we have seen Leon, Claire and, up to a level, Chris be girlmom and girldads.
Not to forget the parallel of how Spencer experimented on little girls, just like how she was experimented on and almost made a monster. That's a great parallel between Grace and Jill too. Grace was almost a victim too. With her, the Requiem gun wings would make a much deeper impact too. Because the wings are also a symbol of the Redfields. Her old partner. The one she almost died for. The one who risked everything to rescue her. The same wings he also gave to his only family, Claire Redfield.
In the good ending too, Grace finally conquers T-virus because Grace rescued her. And then becomes strong enough to destroy another nemesis. Her hoping that elpis works on Emily too, the innocent girl she had to hurt, just like she had hurt so many other innocents back in 2005, because of uroboros. Hound Wolf Squad then rescues her and Grace, and Chris asks for her for another mission. Just like old times!
And then Jill takes care of both Grace and Emily post game too, keeps in touch with them. She has the cure for Claire, Leon and Sherry too. Oh my god...that would have been beautiful indeed.
But hey, I am not mad. RE 9 finally made Leon look hot af to me. I like the game as it is. I just love talking about what-ifs.
