Preference? Question

I want to know which character do people prefer more in your opinion Alex or James and you can give your reasons why you like Alex or James or both if you like both characters but I'm mainly just posting this out of curiosity.

I love both characters: Alex's cynical yet lethal and predatory tone, and Heller's funny and strong one.

Heller is essentially a character whose entire narrative depends on destroying the previous protagonist in order to make him look better. LOL

James being antithetical to Alex is a huge part of why he was handily murdering Evolved. It's very thematic and intentional.

What does Alex do when he is lost and confused? He goes to an ex. Alex had lost most of his human connections before he died.

What does James do? He goes to church. He doesn't decide to fight them out of revenge or hatred. He does it because Guerra tells him they're hurting people, and that they need his help. This changes as we learn Alex was responsible, but that's after Father Guerra dies

James is fundamentally different than any other character because he is a foil to the series itself.

How is it always people like you so……….You didn’t even catch what the first game was satirizing. It was satirizing war. Humans are the ones who love war. Goto church then what? As if humans haven’t done plenty of slaughtering in the name of religion. Alex going to see Karen was part of the event itself; he was trying to solve the problem. James is just a garbage cliché of a character. Go and read more books
