Thinking about how Jake was taught to respect his father even if he was also never even told what Wesker's name was and was let to believe that Wesker was just some deadbeat. Thinking about how Jake was 14-15 when he had to drop out of school and become a mercenary to support his sick mother in 2007. Thinking about how by 2009 (the same year Wesker died), Jake's mom was probably already dead because he was all the way in the South American jungle, getting BETRAYED and almost stabbed to death because his own trainer, the man he'd grown to see as a father figure, sold out his unit to the enemy and everyone except Jake died. Thinking about how despite having never met Wesker and thinking of him as a deadbeat, Jake gets so upset about Chris confessing to murdering him that he almost shoots him. Thinking about how when he finally calms down from that, during the fight alongside Chris and Piers, he lets Chris know that he wants to know more about his father. Thinking about how, as far as the game shows, he doesn't get to have that conversation with Chris and instead all he knows is from the time on the laboratory in China, and the conclusion he reaches from that is that his father was "A freakin' nutjob who almost destroyed the world." and that "Crazy runs in the family."

Mama Scarface is such a tragic "villain" to me like, imagine you're just minding your own business with your babies and a bunch of humans come and chase you out of your territory so they can build their buildings, you leave because you have babies and you don't want them hurt, they keep chasing you further and further out of your territory and in the process they difigure your right side completely but especially your face, leaving you half blind, you STILL only attack them when they bother you, but then they invade your nest and kill every single one of your babies.

Girls when Maul's backtory in Legends was a perfect parallel of Anakin's but then that parallelism got written off just to make Maul seem like competition

I find it really interesting and also depressing how much Roganda's wardrobe and appearance changes from when she's a teenager and young adult forced into being Palpatine's concubine, to post Palpatine's death and she gets to have body autonomy for the first time in forever.

The parallel between Obi-Wan befriending Cerasi and Nield then Cerasi is killed and Nield resents Obi-Wan to the point they never speak again, and Anakin befriending Darra and Tru then Darra is killed and Tru resents Anakin to the point they never speak again
