And too much of the script breaks the "show, don't tell" rule. If Sakamoto wanted to show Samus's maternal side, "The baby, blah, blah blah. Blah blah blah, the baby" was not it. Subtlety and subtext can be very powerful storytelling tools.

I wonder if all this maternal sentiment came from Alien franchise, which supposedly was inspiration behind original Metroid from the beginning?
