Midna in Twilight Princess: "In exchange for my help, you'll have to do EXACTLY as I say."
Adam in Other M: "Don't move unless I say so, don't fire unless I say so."
Midna in TP: "You humans are obedient to a fault."
Situations are completely different. Link was trapped in the body of a wolf and imprisoned in an entirely different world, it was a "take it or leave it" situation. Midna's initial actions aren't portrayed as being heroic at all, and Midna even feels sorry for how she treated Link later on and grows to trust humans as a whole. Adam at no point ever feels remorse for his actions beyond a nonpology for shooting her in the back, and never gives Samus the autonomy to decide anything for herself right until the moment he dies. For this, the game acts like he is a glorious hero who can do no wrong.
I never got the vibe of Adam's actions being "heroic", and from what I've heard, only the music in his sacrifice cutscene points to such. Also, like I said, the game's plot has little weight on the game itself, even though it's clearly trying to be something more (aka the very definition of "overwrought").
