Hello, I am the founder of RE5NeedsMoreLove here on DA (re5needsmorelove.deviantart.com…). due to your work here I have decided to move it to my own personal collection in the group and add a few of my own thoughts as well.
Being tied with RE3, I have thought long and hard on almost everything in RE5, every character trait, every story attribute, all of the subtle things put into the game world to try to see some of the nuance that the game has as a whole, and with this one piece you made me realize something.
Wesker is a self centered, the egotistical megalomaniac intent on using everyone and everything as a means to his end of surpassing everything and becoming all powerful, the living Embodiment of Neitzsche "Superman". But this is making me ponder his motivation in RE5.
As we have seen in the series he is always trying to further his goals and ulterior motives, which as we learn is to further his already superhuman strength. But there was a change after he met with Spencer for the last time. Through his life, he always thought he was superior, but still human. He tried to exceed the confines of what a mere human could become out of his own ability, but Spencer shattered that all when he revealed the truth the Wesker was not a simple man in extraordinary circumstances, but instead a being who was made with a purpose to fulfil.
It was not rage over the truth that lead him to kill Spencer, but defiance. He wasn't going to let the old man control him along any longer, he wasn't going to do what was expected of him, he was going to do it all on his own accord. Not only was he going to do it without Spencer pulling the strings, he was going to do it better.
That is why this speaks to me, Wesker's actions were done in a means to not become a god, but to prove to Spencer and everyone else that he could do it without him or anyone else, becoming superpowerful was just an added bonus.
At this moment, he is beginning to realize that failure is an entirely possible outcome and if he does not succeed in this moment, it does not mean his plain has been a failure, but that HE is the failure.
In other words, putting quotes next to a character is often done to death, but I really like it in this instance because that way its shown with his disheveled appearance that its all really going underneath his skin, kind of like a crazy person on the brink of going postal.
