as much as i adore plague doctor/monster hunter ada wong & her unused design (& have tried to fit her within the game’s narrative & general timeline), the role of a mysterious helping hand guiding ethan through the events of RE8 would be much better served by mia, hell, the game would be benefit greatly with her in the leading role,

#* file // : OOC — ( 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐂𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐀𝐃𝐄 . )#i've talked about it at length w/ @vintneress but imagine how well mia's redemption could be depicted would she have to rescue her daughter #from mother miranda's clutches #i was ahead of my time and loved mia since RE7 and thought the twist of her character to be very well executed in said game #the beginning few minutes tricking you into viewing her as a damsel in distress and then flipping that on its head #only to further subvert the trope by having mia be an agent for the connections and partially responsible for the events of the game #i honestly didn't expect i'd get to play as her and gun down molded like nobody's business but i'm really glad that's the direction #that capcom went it made her much more of an interesting character #and i wish i could say the same about her role in RE8 but outside further cementing her ties with the development of the mutamycete #and eveline she really just was ethan's answer to princess peach #except she is Dead Wife for a majority of the game #which sucks #ada doesn't fit in village and while i can dream about her dressed in crowfeather garb wielding a repeating crossbow all i want #(and i do)#mia should've played a much larger role as her own character as opposed as serving as merely motivation for ethan #sucks buddy #'tis a real shame #plus all the discourse in fandom pitting mia against ada because of their shared moral greyness is really fucking stupid #on both sides #i'm a centrist in this debate i think they're both neat in their own respective ways #and personally i think they should kiss #(joking aside it could be an interesting dynamic honestly imagine ada as a corrupting influence in mia's life after RE7 #pulling her back in the dark world she left behind to start a family with ethan #ada only went into hiding she never really gave up anything but further enveloping herself in secrecy for protection #her story in RE6 could've been about the inevitability of her lifestyle and how she can never give up being ada wong #despite her trying and the world at large making it that much harder #but instead it's just smarmy quip world tour thanks capcom)#i went on another bender in the tags haven't i #i have a campaign video to shoot i have to go now see ya
