My thoughts exactly. I loved original Louis, and I like what I've seen so far of new Louis too, it is okay to like both. But I'm seeing comment after comment from people only saying shit like, "Wow, I like this #NewLouis so much more than the old one, he's so much more realistic, and he's getting so much more character and personality!" (this being after only a couple trailers...)
I'm thinking to myself, did everyone just fucking have a stroke and forget the "big cheese" line? Or any of the others, like The Fucking Ballistics? Did they forget Louis helps you in the original too and is also a cheeky Spaniard? There were plenty of reasons to like him back then, and the extra written lore expanded his character and background. It made you wonder if Louis tragically got to see the consequences of his research and how his home was destroyed by it. But going off of half these comments you'd think he was a fucking boring cardboard cutout in the original that everyone hated... It's like they've forgotten why they originally liked RE4 in the first place... very baffling hype train.
