Resident Evil Remake 4 It is one of the best remakes. However, there is something that fans did not like at all and there are some extremists who are harassing the Ada Wong actress for her work.
Unfortunately, today we have to report another case of fandom, this time involving Lily Gao, the actress with Asian roots who plays Ada Wong in the remake.
The voice actress took advantage of her Instagram account to give thanks for having been part of the project and giving life to the spy. However, days ago the publication was filled with negative comments. It was not constructive criticism, but comments directed at the actress along the lines of “we are going to destroy your career just because you destroyed our character.” [Ada Wong]”, according to a ResetEra user who had access to the comments section before Gao disabled it.

Why are fans not happy with Ada Wong’s performance in Resident Evil 4 Remake?
You may be wondering what happened. Well, first you should know that the fans initially expected Jolene Andersonthe actress who gave her voice to Ada Wong in Resident Evil 2 Remake. However, when Capcom revealed the cast of Resident Evil 4 Remake they realized that Lily Gao would be cast in the role.
Why didn’t Anderson return for the role of Ada Wong? This is not clear, but the actress revealed that it was not her decision, but that she was not called again to play her character.
Sadly, I was not asked back to voice her ?

Another version that has not been confirmed or denied indicates that the reason why Capcom did not ask Anderson to return for the character is that the actress joined a union. Supposedly Capcom doesn’t like to work this way, so she went with Gao.
However, this per se was not what made fans angry, who were disappointed not to see Anderson back.

Harassment is not the correct way to speak out against Resident Evil 4 Remake
Many fans disagreed with the choice after seeing Lily Gao’s portrayal of Ada Wong. Online it is possible to find many users complaining about the character’s lines of dialogue and how Gao expresses them. But there were others, the most extreme, who took it as an insult to “his hers” character and began to harass the actress.
Sensible fans lamented the situation and called for differentiating constructive criticism of Gao’s performance (which is valid) and turning this into harassment and direct attacks on his person is another thing.
“Look, I was not a fan of Ada’s voice, but come on. You can not like something and be respectful about it. These people need to go out and touch the grass if this is their biggest problem in their life,” commented one user on reddit.
Also, you should know that Capcom is the one that has the last word in the dubbing and if the game has the voice of Lily Gao it is because in the end she authorized her interpretation, if it sounds like it sounds it is because of Capcom and not the actress.
Anyway, what do you think of Ada Wong’s new voice in Resident Evil 4 Remake? Tell us in the comments.
