Harry Mason, a great father.

Time & time again, I've often discussed with SHfans about how well the writers thought up the character of Harry Mason. The comment I've heard the most is that they seemed to write him as such a wonderful father that really cared for his child, whether she was his blood or not.
This is an outstanding trait to me and makes him stand out to me more so than the other characters in the series.

I guess my initial point is just to see if you agree & get a good discussion going on Harry himself & his admirable traits.

I think he is somewhere inbetween. Lets all face it, he had horrible voice acting IMO. Because if that (and the way he runs XD) I believe he is a real rock of a person. But, he does care mucho big about Cheryl :)

Harry is quite the dedicated father to go to such extreme lengths to save Cheryl. Truely remarkable. Putting his life at risk countless times to save another one's life, and not just his daughter either. Cybil and Lisa, he was a genuine person, caring for everyone, even if some people were agressive. *Looks at Kaufmann*

One thing that puts doubts in my mind was when...

[spoiler]Vincent called him a "pretty sneaky guy." Unless I missed or forgot something, I don't think he actualy says what he meant.[/spoiler]

Which obviously leads to my doubts.

He's a brilliant father. Remember Heather talking to him on the phone in SH3? That sounds like a very happy daughter to me.

Why couldn't Harry be real?! Lol he is in between. He has a really good personality and cares about his beloved daughter.

I was mad when he...

[spoiler]Died. I was so mad at Claudia so on the end I killed her and then the God was born. I was like...wtf! Atleast I still killed her and saved my life. It made me even more sad when she was laying by her dad's grave.[/spoiler]

Oh yeah guess what!!! My friend has Silent Hill and she let me play it. :) Harry is so awesome! :)

OMG! Me too. Well actually, [spoil]I did cry. Call me corny, but I was kind of attached to his character [/spoil]& he was always one of my favorites.[spoiler] I still remember my first run-through SH3 & when I got to that part..[/spoiler] Remember how they kind of slowly pan up with the camera.. [spoil]starting from his shoes & then slowly you see what has happened to him? As soon as I saw the pants, & the little tip of his brown jacket, I started balling cuz I knew what happened already[/spoil] Yeah, I'm a sucker for good storylines. Plus, I could also relate to Heather at that part, because [spoil]I know what's it's like to lose your father.[/spoil]

I love Harry. I wish he was my dad. xD But really, his devotion to Cheryl throughout her life is just admirable and so sweet. I salute you, Harry Mason. You win my vote for Father of the Year. :)

But Phear, about Vincent's saying that...

[spoiler]I think it's more of a resentment type thing. Harry caused a lot of problems for the Order; he kidnapped their holy mother, then killed God, and kidnapped Alessa's reincarnation and hid her for years. He's pretty much the one thing preventing them from getting Paradise. I read somewhere that Vincent's opinions of Claudia and the whole religious thing are conflicting from Claudia's, but he's still part of the faction. I guess that's all of it. How dare he call Harry sneaky? xD[/spoiler]

And...yep!

Samurai Shampoo? Where? XD

Well anyway, all the theories ARE welcome, and Phears was just one of them. Who know, it might be true!

That was no theory, just a poor understanding of what Vincent meant.

[spoiler] or that he still fits into the clothes XD You would think that after 17 years, Harry might have....let himself go? Well I would relax after saving your daughter and destroying a God.....[/spoiler]

Ugh. Like I haven't heard that one before. xD

Apologies, Phear! At least you're using your head! I'm just here to make random comments and sound stupid. =D

[spoiler]He's probably in the same clothes for recognition's sake. If he was dressed in sweatpants and a T-Shirt, people would've been like "Uh, who's the dead guy?". But I see everyone's point. Heather likes clothes so much, too bad it didn't wear off on Harry....xD[/spoiler]
