Other M is not a bad game overall, but it killed the franchise

How does this even work. Please explain. Or are you saying it's bad by Metroid standards, in which case the franchise is still perfectly fine.

It works quite easily.

 

If it was a game called metrud: other m and wfeatured a bounty hunter calles Samoose Arlan, and in every other way was identical, it would be a good game. It's existence ruins the character of Samus, and thus ruins all the previous metroid games, thus killing the series despite being a good game.

I am still confused here. You're saying the backbone of the franchise was Samus' character, and because she is not who you thought she was, this destroys the experience of all previous Metroid games, and future ones? But wait, if the series is dead then their would be no more Metroid games (or media). Are you saying there will never be another Metroid game again?

I would call a dead (or finished) franchise one that will never have any form of official continuation in the future. Your explanation has not confirmed anything of the sort, all it's done is further the notion that some fans are just upset because things aren't exactly what they seemed to be.
