DO YOU FEEL LIKE A HERO YET?

hehehejejje yes yes!!! i started bingewatching spme of the season 1 episodes, and i cant help but adore the eerie and twin peaks-ish vibe the first season gives off (unlike the following seasons after season 5)

also super random but i just realized ur the one with the ringmaster oc which is crazy bc i got a soldier oc too for re8!! Anyway your oc is so well written and absolutely fits with the theme of village!

Because to me, she's more or less a character whose whole potential got ENTIRELY wasted by Capcom.

They had the ability to create another rlly complex and morally ambiguous character (just like ada or luis if you can count him) but ultimately decided to throw it all away because at the end of the day— Capcom has seen no use to her (literally proven by the entirety of RE8 + Shadows of Rose DLC).

Don't get me wrong, I see the main reason for people's dislike towards Mia being that she has lied to Ethan several times (starting from her 'babysitter job' up to the fact that he's literally dead) but I can only argue that while it it may not be entirely canon, I hugely believe that it originates from her fear and paranoia of the Connections. If we go back (or forward lol) to RE9, we've come to know that Connections has been behind Umbrella's back EVER SINCE RACOON CITY. That Organization is not only amazing at stealth— It has been existing for so long that we only know about it like almost two decades later. So we can safely say that they know very well how to silence and target whistleblowers before they even get to expose their secrets (again, could be said the same about Alyssa.) Mia knew very well how the Connections handled, and having worked there she knew for a fact she couldn't let her husband get dragged into this mess, which she ultimately did. Ironic, right?

And another argument that Mia haters has been holding up to was that Mia faced no consequences at all for her actions (unlike Luis whose ending was beautifully executed), but for that I can only throw the blame at Capcom for— again, making her relevant in only the one game where she was our player's motive, (AND EVEN THEN SHE WAS BARELY PRESENT IN THE GAME?? 😭) Maybe I could also point out that we do see that the whole incident (and the guilt-plus-paranoia cocktail that's been roaming around Mia's mind) affected Mia's health as a whole. Not only do we see her having taken many medications (i sadly cant remember if it solely was for her diet but i can remember there were spme meds in their bathroom at the start of re8), there was a piece of concept art that showed her in a wheelchair due to the trauma she's endured in the Bakers Estate. So YES, although there wasn't fatal consequences for her own actions, she still had suffered for them one way or another.

....

..i think that's pretty much all I want to say. ALSO I DO NOT INTEND TO HATE ON ANYONES OPINION— THIS IS SOLELY MADE FOR ENTERTAINMENT BC I SEEN A VIDEO ABT MIA SLANDER 😭😭

anyway pls give away your thoughts and arguments bc i still got mixed feelings for her 🙏🏻🙏🏻
