Wasn't that already established though ? I seem to remember mentions about how the drug-forced evolution was unnatural and as such less effective, implying that since the body wasn't yet ready to evolve, the evolution was, therefor, nowhere near as "efficient" as a natural one...
That's pretty simple. It's the difference you see often in comics. Ella is basically an anti-hero, like Deadpool. She uses whatever methods needed, doesn't care too much for consequences. Means to an end, basically.
HERO, on the other hand, want th appear as the good guys. They do use shady methods too, but they pretend otherwise to be "the good guys". But deep down a lot of them are assholes. Kinda like the official heroes in The Boys, if you've seen it.
That's why they hate each other. In Ella's eyes, HERO are a bunch of pompous assholes who'd let whatever she's preparing for creep in way too close before reacting, or even noticing it. They wouldn't take the necessary measures and end up fucking everything up for everyone. And in HERO's eyes, Ella is a dangerous lunatic borderlining on the sociopath that will burn the world to the ground to do whatever she wants to do.
In truth, neither are good nor bad. Both sides are heavily flawed, because everything is written in such a way that it shows it's never black or white. There are no heroes or vilains there, just different shades of assholes.
Arguably, it might be because of Ella's vision. She mentionned multiple times she can "see" people who would be compatible for transformation, and also see with which monster they'd be compatible. A good example is when she talks about Emily, saying she'd be perfectly compatible, but she can't figure out with which monster, or if it's that she's uniquely compatible with all of them (if memory serves). Therefor, she opted not to transform her, as the result would be way too unpredictable to be worth the risk to her friend.
Ella chooses quality through that vision of hers, while HERO needs in depth research and testing to figure out who's compatible and how. Also, they do transformations via surgery, rather than letting recruits get attacked, which lengthen the process even more.
Depending on your choices, he's either dead, or just on the run. He's pretty much on the same boat as the MC in the end of the current update : his face, name and deeds are known by relevant authorities, and he's being actively hunted. There is a very likely possibility he won't be seen again in the game, or maybe only at a specific point to give a hand. But, as he is a character you can kill, his involvement with the story will be quite minor, as it would make a huge amount of work to put two versions of events, between him being alive and back, and him being dead.
No worries; This threads is used to big posts. We thrive on discussing theories and opinions.
Honestly, since you're one of the people out here with the most knowledge about what paths give and such, if you wanted and waste the time on it, I htink you'd be pretty much capable of listing where dead ends are, which events give points, and such things.
You'd basically be able to make a non-spoiler walkthrough if you decided to.
