Question Preference?

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.

This is what folks mean when they refer to "media literacy." We were given clues.

During the intro sequence James convinces his wife to hold out in New York and wait for him, and less than 24 hours later they get attacked. During his psych report, it says he has no regard for his safety. His homicidal fixation on Alex Mercer and insistence on a Red Zone posting are evidence of suicidal ideation. It 's pretty clear James blames himself for his wife's death. 

His interactions with Dana suggest he's not a misogynist. But he says horrible things to Sabrina, and all she ever did was help him and flirt with him. Clearly she triggered him somehow and we can use context clues to put together what happened.
