The woman fights and defeats Ridley between Metroid and Super Metroid. The woman is an elite Bounty Hunter and saves the galaxy numerous times between Metroid and Super Metroid.
Metroid Other M takes place Super Metroid, evident by the opening cinematic. Samus is scared and whines like a baby when confronted by Ridley in Other M? Shouldn't it be more like "Oh crap, you again?"
Sorry, but that is lame. Samus is a badass, plain and simple, not a cry baby who needs permission from her former superior in order to use her cool items. She should have stayed a silent protagonist. Not every storyline needs to involve people whining and showing all sorts of emotions never seen in the character's previous 15 years. Not to mention she looks like a kid.
This game isn't getting hammered in reviews because the game is bad, it is because they completely destroy who Samus has been since I was a child. |
Samus is a person, not a robot. You know, the guy who invented Metroid, wrote this story. It's as cannon, as it can be. Why would your opinion trump the one of the creator? He's the one who dreamed her up.
Oh, yeah: Maybe she looks like a kid, because at that point she is one, more or less.
In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.
