Description Art trade with

If you don't recognize the two girls in the middle and right of the pic, you must be pretty darn young! The one in pink is Samus in the Justin Bailey suit from NES' Metroid, and the other is the Zero Fusion suit from Metroid Fusion, although she looks almost identical to the one she used in Super Metroid as well

I'm feeling like a caption contest, so, the person who makes a caption for this pic that makes me laugh REAL hard, will win... FRIENDSHIP POINTS! lol, nah, what the heck, they'll win a free Metroid-related request, just be warned, I handle a very dark/misogynistic and even racist humor, so, keep that in your creative mind!

So, I guess it's no secret that I hate Metroid: Other M ( [link] and [link] ), and everything else that Nintendo is coming up nowadays, but I've been thinking about Samus' downfall, and I think I'm coming up with a conclusion:

Now, while it's easy to blame Team Ninja for Other M's suckiness, or maybe you even think that it was the best Metroid game ever 'cause you hadn't been born 20 years ago, I don't care, Metroid Other M is the least well-received Metroid console title, and there's no amount of optimism nor fandom that can change that fact

Anyway, back to the matter at hand, I think the Zero Suit has played a big role in Samus' decline, now, while a part of me, let's call it, my "man side" loves the suit, and I would lie if I didn't find Samus hot as fuck with it, another part of me, let's call it "logical side" tells me that the suit is only effective in one thing: SELLING, and as a designer, my logic tells me that that suit isn't even original, it's just a sleeved and legged swimsuit from those Japanese schools!

Anyway, since the introduction of this suit, and persistence in cutscenes that end conveniently in showing off Samus' ass, I agree that Samus has been humanized more, or better said, WOMANIZED, since, in the past, we needed to finish the game to be reminded that Samus was a vagina, and if we finished it REALLY fast, then we wouldn't have any doubt about it! but my point is, that in the past, we used to aspire to look at a Metroid game's ending, with Other M, we couldn't care less as long as there were cutscenes with Samus showing off her tits and ass every chance they got!

And so, this new feature (Zero Suit), made it easy to insert all kinds of girly emotions further portraying her as what she is: a girl.

However, this is where I draw the line, while Sammie is free to be all the girly she wants, she still has a RESPONSIBILITY as a bounty hunter, her mission takes priority, that doesn't mean she can't be human, but still, in the past, she HAD been able to help those in need while keeping her head cool so she wouldn't endanger her mission (in Super Metroid, saving the animals at the end on her way out).

Also, thanks to the Zero Suit, Samus' bodily proportions have been vastly exaggerated, in both Other M and Brawl she has more bubble than a frickin' Playmate! Also, the newly-grown-out-of-nowhere beauty mark next to her mouth was just the insult over injury to poor Sammie's physique, I mean, there's not reason for a bounty hunter not being pretty, but Samus looks like a frickin' MODEL, the Zero Suits even has high-heels for fucking out loud! You wanna see a more realistic bounty hunter? Google Rally Vincent from Gunsmith Cats sure she got sexualized in later issues, but at the beginning she had some pretty average measures and looked pretty and was still badass! You want more realistic? Watch Domino film, or heck, search a pic of the REAL her, she isn't anything like the modern Samus super-model stereotype!

Anyway, I digress, hope you enjoyed the pic, and I'm always more than eager to discuss my opinion on Other M, though, be wary, that in my arguments, nobody wins, apparently

I love this! I also love to drink otaku tears.

Also, I thought Other M Samus was not kind hearted or heroic, but came off as an insane, irrational, emotionally manipulative sociopath.
Just like another character who were are told is kind and heroic, but not really.

I wouldn't say...Β "insane, irrational, emotionally manipulative sociopath" I think just being a "Over emotional twat" seems more fitting. She just sounds like a sociopath because a lot of the time the voice actress has such a dull tone in her voice. And after saying the word 'The baby' like 45 different times, 'I can't imagine why she would sound like that'.
Though irrational does completely fit the more I think about it.

This is going to be a long discussion: You have to be the BIGGEST Other M hater in the world. You probably don't even want to speak its name because you hate it to Voldemort levels.

"Fear of a name only increases the fear of the thing itself"

Look, I don't want to be rude (I already learned my lesson last year, from AleximusPrime), but I feel like Other M gets WAY too much slag. You probably hate it as much as I hate Michael Bay...except I don't want to stab a copy of Transformers...er....Bayformers with a Smilodon fang every time I hear his name. Sure, I'm writing a follow-up to the events of Metroid Fusion, and there's stuff I WANT to add and I DON'T want to add, like a scene where Samus just relaxes with the creatures from Zebes living in her ship, and Adam scolds her for "having no modesty" (she's wearing a black bikini in this scene). Should this be there? I don't know. A scene where Samus hides from Federation police at a dance club by removing her armor, kicking off her shoes and dancing in a crowd barefoot? Seems pointless to the story. Samus likes going barefoot? Small detail, might be not brought up at all. Ridley? IDK. Samus having emotions and YET being a badass? Hell, yeah! Samus SWEARING??? (examples: "What did you do to me, you asshole?" "The Federation are a bunch of bastards.") AWESOME.

Anyway, you hate Other M a lot. I don't really care, but this story retcons Other M out. You might hate it to the point where you call a copy of the game a Horcrux, but I hate Michael Bay's film EXCEPT The Rock, Transformers 4, and 13 Hours, and even I think this is too much hate.

I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Actually, to me Other M is the worst game in the Metroid franchise.

1. Samus has to be saved every 2 minutes.
2. She has inner monologue ever 5 seconds.
3. No one ever fucking respects her like the soldiers did in Prime 3.
4. Adam has one of the most stupid deaths in fiction (why couldn't they destroy that sector using Samus' gunship?).
5. "The Federation is evil" is retarded considering in Fusion she's working with them AGAIN at the beginning.
6. Samus losing he power suit when she's emotionally unstable is retarded too since that would probably be the time she most needs it to protect her.
7. Samus not suspecting that the big purple monster with the pointy tail that attacked her is a Ridley clone.
8. Adam being an emotionless shell is proportional to Samus' excess of emotions.
9. You never get to confront the traitor that killed Adam's team.
10. The Federation must be taking double dose of retard pills if they decide to make a clone of mother brain plus give her a more portable body.

I dunno what else is there to discuss, this game seems universally forsaken, and these reason are not exactly unheard of, so really, again, I don't see why would you wanna discuss this anymore.

Well...

1.You should probably stick to Samus not doing inner monologue, not that it's bad, but after Other M it probably left a huge scar on fans.
2. Try to see Samus for what she is, not a woman, rather a biologically enhanced (by Chozo DNA) bounty hunter, the best in the universe, yes, it's okay if she has a compassionate side, but like any bounty hunter worth his weight on plasma, she should be able to act cold and precise in difficult situations, if she's the best of the universe, this needs to be crucial.
3. Make her socially challenged, as she's rarely seen interacting with anyone, even her own clients, this will also help her look imposing to her fellow Galaxy Federation soldiers, and intimidating to her enemies.
4. You should pretty much scrap Other M altogether, and just go with Fusion's vague explanation of Adam's death.
5. Try to have her in her power suit most of the time, or better yet, take the next step, if you're using Fusion Suit, and make it symbiote-like like in Spider-Man, at least half of Samus' oclassic reputation is owed to her power suit, whereas nowadays, Samus' half reputation is owed to her oversexualized zero suit smh.

The interesting thing is that she was going to team up with other bounty hunters to stop the GF, and in the end, she is the main contributor. Also, about the DNA thing, I was originally going to have her die because of all the screwed-up slag in her blood. It would make her DNA unstable. I'm going to have to find a way to balance out the scenes where she is wearing the armor, and where she is not. I should go with the symbiote-like suit idea. The idea is to also have her go against the Federation AND the space pirates, which will probably turn my story into clusterf*ck. Heck, someone told me to find a way to bring back freaking Ridley! I have no idea what to do in a post-Fusion story. But AT LEAST I will try to put as little scenes with her out of the armor as possible.

610gonzalez In reply to MrPaintRavioli [2016-02-17 15:51:17 +0000 UTC]

The thing with Ridley, is that he's become an iconic character in the Metroid games, almost as iconic as Samus herself, hmm, if you're using the symbiote idea, maybe you could work around that? Ridley becoming a separate symbiote-like creature, and being able to possess other people or even monsters, hence, rendering him practically immortal but not unbeatable.
I like the idea of Samus having her DNA fucked up, maybe use it as a sort of cancer or the corruption in Prime 3, like a handicap to make Samus more exposed to threats and not make her look so invincible.
Also, good idea as well on bringing some other bounty hunters, I think Metroid Prime Hunters had something like that right? Never played it though, but having other friendly bounty hunters to compare to and interact with seems Samus appear more fleshed out without recurring to Sakamoto's way of making her emotional as fuck.
Also, I've always liked the idea of Dark Samus and the SA-X working separately as bounty hunters themselves, maybe even becoming space pirates leaders or having their own terrorist organization, however, as we both know, both of them as pretty much dead, well, the SA-X fused with Samus.

UPDATE: After watching several reviews of Halloween III: Season of the Witch, I basically got on a mental sugar high (one does not simply get stoned without weed and with just their mind) and came up with an alternate opening to the story:

Original opening: Samus is in the shower, thinking about the Galactic Federation, the Space Pirates, and the fact that she now has a price on her head. She leaves the bathroom, and Adam (the A.I.) complains thatΒ her hair is a mess and she didn't even do anything but mope, and Samus ignores this and orders him to locate the nearest planet that isn't controlled by the Federation.

Alternate (possibly better) opening: Samus is being chased by Federation Police in a dark and rainy street on a random planet with a city. She hides in an alley, and shuts her eyes hoping the police don't see her. When they leave (Worst. Cops. Ever.), she sighs with relief, only to be shocked by seeing a poster of herself on the wall saying:

WANTED

Name: Samus Aran
Age: 26
Height: 6'3
Physical appearance: Blonde-haired Caucasian/Nordic with filthy hair that looks like she hasn't had a shower in years. Last seen wearing a red and orange power suit. Armed and dangerous, has plasma cannon on her right arm. Extra details: has a scar underneath her left eye, and a tattoo of a red circle with a yellow lightning bolt on her back.
Crime: Betraying the Federation and illegal transport of Metroids to scientists.
Reward: 400,000,000 dollars (or whatever the f*ck the Galactic Federation uses as currency.)

After seeing that the Federation have started to alert the public that she is a criminal, Samus runs off into a field, where she comes across Noxus. How...random. Samus learns Noxus was actually trying to hunt her down and turn her in, but Samus just kicks his ass and forces Noxus to take her to the other bounty hunters (Weavel, Spire, Yandell, Sylux, etc.), saying they are the only ones who can help her stop the Federation.

Background music idea for the original opening was a long synth note when Samus showers, a depressing rendition of the Fusion theme when she walks out, and a series of calm but strangely....sad notes when Samus orders Adam to head to the nearest planet not controlled by the GF.

Alternate opening music: a Halloween III OST-Chariots of Pumpkins (www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsHMnW… )Β sounding version of the Metroid III theme (or at least the base notes now sound like eerie beeps) crossed with a more sinister and creepy version of the Return of Samus' catchy overworld theme (the music that plays when the game begins and Samus starts shooting up SR388 creatures)

Or, in other words, the base notes from the Super Metroid theme with the main melody from the Metroid II theme playing over it.

I can already predict people's thoughts.....

"Man, what was this MrPaintRavioli guy thinking?!"

I can tell you don't know much about Metroid: Samus has a post traumatic stress syndrome which means the trauma builds up over time. Ridley killed Samus's mother in front of her, and this kind of trauma doesn't necessarily show itself the first time she meets the monster. It was also due to the fact that Samus thought Ridley was dead after Super Metroid, yet she encountered him again in Super Metroid.

Also, earlier Metroid games didn't show Samus's emotions. If you're going to hate on Other M, at least do so with some proper knowledge of the series. I think Other M by far has the best story of any Metroid game, and the second best game design only after Super Metroid.

With respect, I don't think you have the right to question my knowledge of Metroid just because I made a constructive criticism of its worst game, you really don't know anything about me.

That said, PTSD on Samus had shown itself ALREADY on the official Metroid Prime manga, endorsed BY Nintendo, Samus showed an even bigger horror for Ridley, but this was because she didn't even know he was alive, I mean, her father blew up a spaceship over him last time she ever saw him when she was a kid, Ridley proceeded to taunt Samus telling her she had to eat her parents' corpses to heal, and beat Samus to a pulp. After that, Ridley left Samus with the captured Chozo, Samus had lost all will to live, but the Chozo help her regain her strength, and she later proceeded to kick Ridley's ass with not a doubt in her mind, and again, this is no fanfic, this is the OFFICIAL Metroid Prime manga.

So, PTSD? That has been surpassed, and if there was a possibility for a relapse, why didn't it happen in ANY of the other games where Samus faces Ridley? Heck, like I've said, Samus should expect Ridley to show up at ANY given moment since he's the most recurring character right after Samus.

And if you're gonna say that Metroid Other M is the best game, great, that's your opinion, but so far it's the worst well-received Metroid game in history (even worse than Metroid 2, think about that for a second), and that's more than an opinion, that's a FACT, this title alone has possibly killed the franchise, and right after the series was at its apex, with the epic Metroid Prime Trilogy by Retro (which, by the way, Metroid Other M holds to be non-cannon), how would you explain that?

I critized you based on the artwork you did, which is meant to make fun of emotional Samus.

The manga was not based on Metroid Prime at all, it was based on Fusion and Zero Mission. If you knew your Metroid you would know that the Prime games are not officially reckognized as canon, but as side games. The PTSD doesn't just magically disappear. It grows over time, and in Other M Samus thought for sure that Ridley was dead - yet he appear in front of her anyway. That triggered her reactions.

It's not badly received as you want to make it out to be, it's just the haters who are extremely vocal and people who like the game usually aren't heard at all. Also, while it didn't reach the sales of Prime 1 and Prime 3, it sold better than Prime 2 - which is interesting considering both Prime 1 and 3 were released when the respective console was still new and fresh, while Prime 2 and Other M release when the GC/Wii had faded in popularity.

Killed the franchise? LOL. Prime 2 sold worse, so that would've "killed" the franchise then.

I can understand why some old fanboys didn't like Samus in Other M - during the 90s they created an image of Samus in their minds as a silent, perfect killer who could save the universe all on her own. Samus was never that character, it was just an image made up by some fans. When that image collided with Samus's true nature that was shown in the manga and in Other M, these fans started to rage.

Still, they're more vocal the great in numbers. Nintendo still acknowledges Other M as the true sequel to Super Metroid, which is shown in Smash Bros which has her Power Suit model based on Other M, and also her Zero Suit model and one stage to boot. Where's the Prime reference in Smash Bros., huh?

Dude, the manga even has the SAME logo as Metroid Prime, I never said it was based on Metroid Prime, but it was released at the same time of the first Prime game, possibly why they used the same logo just to market the game better.

Seriously? You're gonna use Smash Bros. as something cannon to the franchise? Wow, that is offensive, especially when in the game Samus has been over-sexualized more than ever, with even bigger breasts, the ridiculous and unpractical high heels (both on her Zero Suit and Power Suit), heck, now that we're talking about the Zero Suit, I suppose you also wanna defend this? Is this how a REAL person (like Samus) dresses? I mean, a normal, regular girl, whenever she is in distress, she drops all clothes and remains scantily dressed? Other M has been the only game (from the franchise) to exploit Samus' body proportions this bad, and even some cutscenes ended from extremely convenient angles showing her ass, and you're supporting the game that did this?

Well, I think it's clear that both of us have different opinions and logic on what we think of Samus, I personally don't think neither is correct, since the Samus of today has become an objectified and emotional bimbo with a penchant of being a damsel in distress, as opposed to her previous image of a feared, independent and respected bounty hunter, so, I don't think we will ever reach an agreement if both of us are set in our minds, I do however, think that everyone has the right to speak their opinion on the matter, I did it by drawing a pic that I and many other people found pertinent to the issue, I've always thought that images are more valuable than mere words

It's a generic Metroid logo. Also, Fusion released alongside Prime in 2002. The manga brings up the X parasite which was the main plot in Fusion, and it doesn't bring up a single thing from Prime.

I used Smash Bros. as an example because it's pretty much the only game which has featured Samus since Other M. Realistic? How realistic is the Power Suit? Metroid is not based on realism when it comes to armor and clothing.

If you seriously think Samus was a "damsel in distress" in Other M, then you're exaggerrating A LOT. Just like Other M haters usually do.

Dude, Samus had NEVER in ANY other game been needed to rescue SO MANY times like in Other M.

And if your best explanation of why Other M has been so heavily criticized (despite the eye-candy) is "haters" and not even considering that there might be a serious problem with how the franchise is being handled, then, what's the point in trying to objectively argue with you?

Thing is, it's only a serious problem for a relatively small group of vocal haters. Most people of the 700k who bought the game don't have a problem with how Samus was portrayed.

Actually, in Fusion, you clearly see human scientists that Samus was escorting when she got infected with the X Parasite, and those guys saved her life (though in a way less flashy and belittling fashion that the stupid soldiers in Other M i.e. "don't you know how to treat a lady?!"), actually Fusion is supposed to be canon, and since in Other M the ultimate evil wasn't an ungodly, powerful monster, rather the overused cliche of "the government is evil, OMG!", so, if Samus had already been betrayed by the federation, then why, oh, why did she return to work with them in Fusion? lol, you see? Other M fucks up even in that regard! Oh, and in Fusion, turns out that the government was STILL evil because they were cloning metroids! Man, yep, Other M is clearly the best Metroid game ever, fitting like a glove in the series' canon, not screwing anything up.

She didn't work with them in Other M, she found the Bottle Ship from a distress signal, and then Adam and his crew happened to be there too. She chose co-operation since that increased chances of survival.

You're just making stuff up, or exaggerating to suit your own, flawed arguments. Just like so many of the OM haters.

Dude, the Federation STILL betrayed Samus (one of their biggest assets) in Other M, regardless if she was working with them or not, she found out that the government is secretly evil, yet she worked with the SAME Federation on Fusion.

And you're entitled to your opinion about me, but I'm not the one ignoring the FACTS and blaming them on "haters" nor "fanboys", good day

But the thing is, you don't present "facts", even if you would like to believe you do. You present extremely subjective opinions which are in most cases exaggerrated to maximum to support your arguments.

The federation doesn't consist of one person - not all of them are bad.

Well, it certainly seems so, since in Fusion they're (still) cloning Metroids, and how do you know that they're not all bad? Have we met ALL of them? The highest-ranking member seem to be bad, like that guy in Other M and the scientists cloning Metroids, that's pretty much all of the federation we have seen in the games, oh wait, Admiral Dane from Prime 3 WAS a good high-ranking officer, oh, but wait, THAT'S NOT CANON.

And my facts seem exaggerated, because Nintendo exaggerates the facts in the first place, in no other Metroid game than Other M, has Samus pranced in her Zero Suit so much, or, did I miss the times when she would drop her Power Suit and go around showing her curves DURING the game? I mean, I know she did that as a sort of reward for finishing the games, but again, she wouldn't flash her TNA DURING the game, is this not a fact?

And again, she had never needed to be saved so many times before (or barely at all) by men while they were spouting sexist nonsense like "not knowing how to treat a lady", Samus has only been saved by the Baby in Super Metroid, and by the scientists in Fusion, in Other M, she gets saved almost by all members of Adam's team, and Adam himself, is this not another fact?

And speaking of Adam, his "sacrifice" was completely unnecessary, like, why did such a technologically advanced facility like the Bottleship, had the most RETARDED self-destruct system that had to be activated from WITHIN the section you want to destroy? Why didn't Adam order Samus to use her battle ship to throw missiles to that section? I know, it could endanger the inhabitants, but it sure seemed like it was prepared for a situation like that that it could lock down different areas in the ship?

Again, selling 700k games to a consumer base of 100 million people that bought the Wii console, is just bad, I mean, Mario games for the Wii U have been sold MORE than that in LESS time and the console is selling like dirt! Heck, I think even Bayonetta has sold similarly to Other M, but it's not a renown franchise from Nintendo and also, it hasn't even been a year since it came out, yet another fact, Other M sold poorly compared to other Nintendo games, it probably sold good in the eyes of highly-optimistic people, but I think optimism is a form of denial, but that's my opinion, not a fact (though technically, it's KINDA fact since optimists tend to say that things aren't as bad as they are even if they indeed are).

Sums up Other M as a whole. Personally, NES Samus is my favorite in terms of appearance. There's just something about her pink leotard and well kempt brown hair that reminds me of those cheezy 80's and early 90's Sci-Fi shows and comics.

She only has brown/orange hair at the end, depending on how good you did, if you finished the game fast, she'll have a pink bikini, not leotard, leotard only happens when you enter the Justin Bailey password and she has green hair there, heheh, sorry, retro geek moment

I know, it's just that I like the design and I find it a little underrated. Well, that and Zero suit is being over-used to the point of annoyance.

By the way, love how the picture looks, and howΒ the colors bring it to life!

The only people who like Metroid: The Other M are obsessive weeaboo otakus. Β And also, what the hell is it with anime-esque type stories and romanticized abusive relationships? They did this long before Twilight, but weeaboo only cry about Twilight and not about every other romanticized abuse story out there.Β 

Weaboos sicken me.

Just because a person acts Japanese doesn't mean that they agree with literally every belief in that country. Don't get me wrong, Other M is still shit.
