Actually, I got more to say about that video.
I say he is projecting. Just because he assumed Samus used to be this unfeeling, man-hating loner, he thinks that's how the rest of us pictured her.
And he also implied Ripley was like that, which means he need to watch Aliens again, and pay attention.
Finally, he didn't like the Prime games, okay, but those games showed things from Samus that were like what was in Other M, but made sense. She took orders from men, but the orders made sense (They needed her to get the power to the defense systems back on line to stop a meteor, and later watch some troops' backs as they invade the pirate homeworld).
Plus it's been pointed out elsewhere that only the weapons would have a reason to shut off, NOT the Varia Suit or Grapple Beam. So the in story justification is still stupid.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
