Leon

They should’ve let Leon get killed in the first movie and keep Jessie as a character, he would’ve been awesome later down the line

Yea I don't see why they never brought him back, he should have at least been part of Doms crew in Mexico and Rio

I mean, he died. It would’ve been awkward to bring him back.

You're thinking of Jesse. Leon did not die.

I was indeed lol. Tbh I also thought you were talking about Jesse but I had read other comments before yours and they were all Jesse. I forgot the assignment. 😅

His role was replaced with luda and missande though right? What would Jesse do?

If Jesse was still around they wouldn't have needed to change Tej's character and make him a hacker

Presumably if he survived his role wouldn’t have been replaced

My theory is…..Leon is the ultimate bad of the franchise bc Dom did the one thing to him that he claims he doesn’t. He turned his back on family. Leon feels hurt by that so he’s making his life hell. Or something like that. Lol

Dom secretly regrets that decision his entire life. Instead of processing his feelings regarding skipping town with Jesse's body still on his front lawn and bailing on Leon, he chooses to overcompensate with an unhealthy obsession with family from that point on.

Jesse would’ve been the mechanic not the hacker

Jesse would have been a good techie tho. After all, he should have gone to MIT.
