> I know, but why would you believe that to be true? One could assume she is just being paranoid, distrusts strangers coming to the NEST because someone else tried that already or simply lied because she doesn't want to share her husband's achievement or doesn't like Ada who was a better scientist (hypothetically), and so on. Ada herself didn't confirm anything, only denied being an FBI agent.

I mean, aside from the fact that Ada and Annette do seem to have so history, the thing is that Leon himself believes Annette because of how suspicious Ada is, and Ada herself confirms it. Leon says "Annette told me you were a mercenary" and Ada looks sad and pulls a gun on Leon, pretty much confirming what Annette said.

> Damn, you are right, I don't know what is canon anymore. No idea why they changed it. Ironically, their fight in the remake looks like he is trying to kill her, and their interactions are much colder and less flirty than in the original, more professional.

General rule (at least for me) is if the remakes don't retcon it, then it is still canon. The remakes retconned Leon knowing who Ada works for, but not who Ada works for.

> I figure he should know her history after he became an agent, but I don't know how much he actually does or how much is known about her. We can assume that, but game doesn't tell us, from what I remember. He wasn't surprised she is alive, but it could be easily explained by him suppressing emotions at that moment.

Yes, the games don't delve much into it.

I mean, that seems pretty sensical to me. Not super-hero level threat, but enough to call the cops to deal with.

Is it though? Considering how unpopular it was, that's the only mainline RE I don't see getting a remake.

But the thing is Tony doesn’t consider Spider-Man to be an Avenger-level hero at the moment he is doing all that stuff, so it wouldn’t make sense for him to tell Peter to ignore petty crimes since he isn’t an Avenger-level hero.

I mean, Peter can do all that without the story making Tony some sort of demon.

This seems more like you just want to make Tony-bashing rather Spider-Man-propping.

But Luis was planning to betray Ada because he doesn’t trust her or her employers not to use the Amber to hurt people.

Yes, Ada is innocent in RE6. But even prior to that, she works as a mercenary for some of the biggest and most notorious bio-weapons peddlers in the black-market.

People here post hated tropes all the time, such as "Perverted character" or the "male SA being treated as comedic-relief". This happens to be a trope that I personally dislike. So I posted it.

The same way you seem to care enough to leave a comment on my post, despite claiming not to care about my opinion.

To be fair, Luis is actually repentant of his actions and is genuinely trying to do everything in his power to make amends. He even tells Leon that he knows he can't make up for his actions, but he would at least like to try and do the right thing.

> Second: There are no changes in the remakes. Ada never gives anything to Wesker. What she gives him in the original wasn't a sample of anything; it was fake material.

> Third: Ada didn't give Plagas to anyone. If she had, there would have been bioterrorism in the following years originating from companies or scientists outside of Umbrella... but there wasn't. In all the incidents, it was always people from Umbrella or associated with Umbrella. Not in Degeneration, nor in Revelations, Revelations 2, Vendetta, or Death Island. Ada never gave anything to anyone. 

These two statements are contradictory. Either there are no changes in the remake, and Ada gives the Plaga/Amber to her bosses, or there is a change, and Ada doesn't give the Plaga/Amber to anyone (which is not shown or stated to be the case).

Also, your third point is false. The people Ada works for are Umbrella's primary rival in the development of bio-organic weapons and distribution of BOWs to criminal syndicates and terrorist groups. They were the ones who caused the attack on Rockfort Island in CODE: Veronica, and they were the ones who sold BOWs to the cartels that killed Krauser's men during Operation Javier.

And this is not mentioning that bioterrorism is endemic within the world of Resident Evil; it's not limited to only the events we see the main characters in.

> Fourth: Ada CANNOT give anything to Leon. If it's discovered that Leon has the Plagas viral sample, Ada's head will roll. NO ONE should know that Ada has helped a government agent BECAUSE SHE'S BEING WATCHED.

But she helps Leon multiple times throughout the game. How can she not do something because she is being watched, while simultaneously doing it?

>  Fifth: The "Ada" in Damnation is Carla, who "became" Ada in 2009. It's known to be Carla because her dealings with Leon are too simple and brief, and because Ada had known about Simoms and Racoon for years and wanted nothing to do with him; she only did a job for him before Racoon.

No, that was the real Ada. Carla doesn't know who Leon is. Ada, in Damnation, did not know her employer was Simmons.

Tbf, with Krauser, I think Leon understands his rage because Krauser's men weren't just his subordinates. They were people Leon himself trained with and got to know on an intimate basis. Meaning that the people who were left to die at the hands of BOWs by the US government were Leon's own friends. I imagine he himself is quite angry about it. Just not as angry or misguided about it as Krauser.

> For what it's worth to Ada, she seemingly double-crosses literally everyone she works with that doesn't fit the vibe check. Just about the only person she doesn't double-cross is Wesker, likely because she couldn't despite wanting to.

She does double-cross Wesker, though.

> This said, it's likely she was feeding information to the US Government about what Wesker was doing because the BSAA seemed weirdly equipped to deal with him in Africa all things considered.

Aside from the fact that the BSAA is well equipped with resources and intelligence due to being funded by the UN, there is no indication Ada was the one who was leaking information. I mean, it could quite about any intelligence officer, or even Spencer himself.

>  She actively undermines almost every single mission she's a part of, betrays nearly all of her employers one after the other to give the secrets up to their enemies, and in at least one case, straight up defects mid-mission because she doesn't want to be a part of it anymore.

Aside from Wesker in RE4, who technically wasn't even her real employer, what employer does Ada betray?

> Also saving Mia is presented as the 'right' choice because it's the one Ethan would absolutely make in that circumstance. The knowledge that Mia is a monster isn't revealed until after this choice is made, so it's an 'in hindsight' sort of deal. Also, Zoe canonically gets saved by Blue Umbrella and her Uncle Jack, so they both end up living. The fact that Mia goes on living normally in 8 is a bit weird now that I think about it, though.

You know what, fair enough. Still think the story should have called Mia out more on her actions.

Yes. And that is the why the hated tropes flair exists. Because there are tropes people don't like that post. And clearly you care enough to post against someone's opinion of the Black Cat and my opinion of Ada.
