#evil doesn't only spawn evil because what is evil. it's a series of actions that set off reactions. push and pull like the moon

It's absolutely a fair criticism of the Erin's to make all of their villain back stories "well they were bullied :(((" and I wholeheartedly agree with you, but I am curious on what your thoughts are on Scourge's backstory? Do you think it's similarly empty and nonsensical, or is that one different because he's a perfect example of a response to having a cruel war culture as a neighbor that terrorizes children?
Ehh, I have mixed feelings on Scourge's backstory. I don't think it's all bad though, I don't HATE it like I hate Blackfoot's Reckoning, you get me? There's stuff here that could work.
What I don't like:
How it changes Darkest Hour into a revenge narrative. Scourge acted in self-defense in that book, killing Tigerstar had nothing to do with spite.
What bothers me about that is that it attempts to make Scourge... More Evil. Which ties into my problems with Darkest Hour and how it decided the penultimate villain of the story isn't the culture that produced Tigerstar, but an Evil Foreigner.
How Scourge doesn't really have a lot of agency in his story. Power sort of happens to him. If you're gonna commit to making Scourge super evil, I would have liked to see him actually be a tyrant. Like... what was the point of feeding Socks and Ruby if you're trying to show me a bloodthirsty dictator obsessed with revenge...?
It makes it feel like the Tiger Attack doesn't really influence his actions, until that very last moment where he gets his revenge.
The Jakening. That was a lame idea. "Omg the villain and the hero are connected :0" they don't know each other... they don't know their dad... they're nothing alike. You just retconned in that they're part of a special bloodline, the point of this book series should be that BLOOD doesn't matter, I really do not like this idea at all.
What I do like:
Tying Thistleclaw into this. I think this is so strong that it actually inspired Thistle Law for BB-- I LOVE the idea of Thistle being at the 'root' of the problems in TPB. Someone who never killed anyone on his own, but spawned a thousand claws after him.
The Tiger Attack/The idea of fear of Clan cats uniting BloodClan. That's fantastic, that's ACTUAL consequences for the violence of Clan culture, that's A+. Love love love it.
This is going to contradict one of my earlier points: the idea that Scourge isn't actually all that evil. I think it's unintentional from the writers, BUT, in a perfect world I would have liked to get "The Glimpse" into Scourge's backstory and find... he's not THAT bad. That it was just as much a story as the "eating bones" myth that Kittypets believe about Clan cats.
That he really has only killed people causing trouble in Chelford, he doesn't hate love and friendship, he was on the same level as any Clan leader.
BUT I don't think it works with the conclusion that TPB has, where killing Scourge allows peace to return to the forest, and his body is treated with less sympathy than Tiger "kill the children" Star.

And here we finally have our first Ashley escort section!
If you're expecting me to bitch...I won't!
She's nowhere near as bad as people make her out to be! Oh sure character-wise she's a cardboard cutout, this is one area where I will absolutely concede that the Remake did a far better job. But gameplay wise? Her AI is actually very responsive!
First off you can tell her to stay put at one spot, so if you know some place where you know enemies won't spawn you can put her there while you clear the area. This won't always be possible of course but even then, Ashley is smarter than she lets on
First off, every time you point a gun she will immediately either run behind Leon or duck out of the way, so if you accidentally kill her that's gonna be on you. Every other time she diligently follows you around with no issue. She can die very quickly, but you can replenish her health with your own healing items, even upgrade her max health like you can with Leon's
There are also only roughly 4 sections with her in total and, excluding this first one which lasts until the end of Chapter 3-1, every other only lasts about 20 minutes, so she's only gonna be present for about 30% of the whole game. Yeah she's kind of annoying, and the game doesn't really benefit from having her around, but she's by no means a deal breaker
And while we're at it let's delve into Resident Evil 4's gameplay itself shall we?
Now I'm not a big RE fan as a whole, but even I'm aware of the divide caused by this game for many, of how it essentially forever altered not only the series' identity but also horror as a whole.
No more fixed camera angles, no more pre rendered backgrounds, no more limited resources, no more non-linear design, no more having to carefully maneuver around enemies to avoid confrontation in order to save up on ammo and stuff. This game is very action focused, you're shooting stuff all the time, it drowns you in ammo, it's very linear, it's pretty much the opposite of classic RE in almost every way, leading to plenty of older fans to call this the game that essentially killed the series
...and I mean....they're not wrong? I know that these types of fans tend to get a bad rep in all kinds of fandoms, sometimes for good reasons as sometimes people can just be straight up dicks, but there's nothing inherently wrong with this general sentiment: you like a series due to a variety of elements which are unique to it. If those elements are gone you no longer enjoy it. Simple as that. Some cry "Oh but you just don't accept change!" but the truth is that one must first consider a specific change to be good before they can accept it
Despite this however...I can't fully agree with this sentiment myself, despite sympathising with it
It's often said that RE4 is not a horrot game, just an action game.
And it's true that this game is not a traditional Survival Horror game due to the aforementioned reasons. But I can't call thos just an action game because, even ignoring what I said about this game's very horror-like atmosphere, visual design and ost last time, there are a bunch of design elements that simply don't make much sense for a pure action game but do for a horror one
Yes this game revolutionized third person shooting in terms of precision and camera controls, not to mention that it features literal over the top melee attacks you can perform after stunning an enemy by shooting them in their weak points
But at the same time it also has old-school tank controls. They're snappier than in the classic games, but this still means you can't freely outmaneuver your enemies, creating tension that way
You also can't move while aiming, just like in the older games. You are pinned to the spot while trying to aim for enemy weak points, putting you in a vulnerable position if other enemies were to flank you in the meantime. While the aiming itself is precise, Leon's hands slightly tremble, forcing you to be careful, throwing you into a potential panic should you find yourself surrounded by enemies on all sides and you don't have the nerve to properly steady yourself. You are also completely immobile while reloading weapons. In the older games you could do this from the pause menu but here it HAS to be during gameplay and it may take a second or to, forcing you to be mindful of when and where you reload during a conflict. Weapons like the shotgun even have noticeable wind up after each shot which, again, anchors you to the spot for a second each time, putting you at risk of getting hit. Leon can die pretty easily here, a single hit can fell over half of your healthbar. You have healing items of course, but you nevertheless need to be careful
The over the shoulder camera may be criticized by older fans....but if you think about it it serves a very similar purpose to the old fixed camera angles: those obscured your view creating a sense of dread due to not knowing if you were gonna run into a zombie when passing the next camera angle.
While the over the shoulder camera is not as cinematic as the old one, people seem to forget that, unlike most other games inspired by RE4, you can't freely move this camera, only slightly pan it to the sides, otherwise you can only see what is strictly ahead of you. If you want to see what's behind you you have to turn around, which takes a second, a second that enemies may use to hit you during the animation. This is all 100% purposeful, as it creates very obvious blind spots for you that you have to be mindful of and that help create this overall sense of tension and paranoia
People say that RE4 is not scary, tense at most. I argue that fear is a very subjective thing that varies on the person. My first few playthroughs of RE4 gave me very similar feelings to my first times playing RE1-2-3. In those games I was afraid of all the zombies that I couldn't directly see because of the camera, with each encounter being tense due to tank controls and limited resources. In RE4 I was paranoid that at any second the game might spring yet another trap at me and flood a room with enemies, enemies that I couldn't always keep track of as they'd often surround me, coming from my blindspots, each encounter being tense because of needing to stop for a few seconds in the middle of a fight to take aim and fire, which is a risk because enemies can and will try to attack you from all directions as you're doing this.
Now of course nowadays RE4 is mostly no longer scary to me. But that's mostly because I've played this game about 20 times and I've grown accustomed to all of its tricks. Similarily Nemesis in OG RE3 was scary the first few times, but now I know how to take him on, that's normal. The only RE games that keep being scary to me even now are the OG RE1 and its Remake, mostly due to the whole haunted Mansion setup being inherently creepier to me and because they're far harder games than the rest I think
Perhaps no other section in the game makes any of this clearer than the dreaded Cabin Section at the end of this Chapter
Leon and Luis (Ashley thankfully locks herself in a closet so you don't have to worry about her for once) against an infinite horde of Ganados as they storm the tiny cabin, coming from all sides. There's barely any space to maneuver yourself, they keep coming without stopping, your ammo dwindles little by little. You will panic, you won't know exactly what to do, you'll screw up as you're being mercilessly overwhelmed from all sides, you'll dread ever having to redo this part....yet I can't absolutely say it's badly designed. They will only give up after a while, after which you'll finally breathe a sigh of relief as the danger is finally over...for now
Peak Resident Evil 4
Also Luis does this if you shoot him too many times

That is what you have done for me, NAME. You have brought me hope." — James Potter
