So if Samus looked like Barbara Bush you think it would still be as interesting? The reason that it draws attention is that originaly everyone thought that Samus was a guy, then all of a sudden you find out he is really a she in spandex. 13 year old boys everywhere swooned. I didn't. I was 10. Anyway while she's not sexy in the Ali Landry sense, she isn't hard on the eyes either, and that is what they are trying to accomplish.
