He literally did nothing amazing that entire game, no awesome cut scenes, no outward badassness, no amazing speeches, NOTHING. I was so disappointed. And I don't quite mean this as an insult to Samus but I haven't exactly ever seen her do anything to define her character either. I mean CONCEPTUALLY yes, she's beaten a bunch of baddies etc etc. But her attitude, reasons, and general style are beyond me. What I'd LOVE to see would be Kratos Vrs. Other Hero, because in my opinion he's one hell of a badass :P However I fear he'd get drowned out in Fanbias. Maybe Snake could move people, but I'm not sure my man would stand strong :D |
From playing the games I have a pretty good sense of Samus's character. Samus is essentially Batman recast in a scifi setting.
She was orphaned at a young age by a space pirate attack and adopted by the Chozo who trained her and infused her with their blood. She uses a suit of Chozo armor adapted for human use and can incorporate a myriad of devices of Chozo, Galactic Federation, Space Pirate, and other origins into it. She designs her own ships and is extremely skilled at gaining access to secured computer systems. She's a stoic loner who is both skilled and resourceful enough to defeat any opponent.
I generally don't engage in this sort of fanboy frothing but she's in my top four heroes of all time. The other three are Paul Erdos, Charlie Parker, and Optimus Prime.
