Also, her characterization in Other M is not even consistent with the manga. In the manga she got over her fear of Ripley long before the events in Other M.
And this is ignoring the fact that the manga has been read by less than a percent of Metroid players and you weren't even given a hint of anything relating to Samus' relation to Ridley before the offending scene kicks the popular idea of Samus into the ground.

We still need some definitive proof that Prime's been disregarded as canon. Prime's story was self-contained, and therefore had no relevant impact on stories that occurred after the Phazon arc had finished, but that does not make it non-canon.
Retro themselves knew they were dicking with continuity anyway, given that their story was an insert between Metroid and Metroid II, and could not fundamentally impact the story of Metroid II (even though it sorta did, because of all the Metroids that the Space Pirates cloned in the primes)
Though Other M is also a little guilty on that point, because its story alters a few of the finer points of Metroid Fusion somewhat (notably Samus' apparent shock in Fusion that the Federation had created Nightmare, or that the Federation was cloning Ridley and the Zebesian Space Pirates, or that the Federation was breeding Metroids, all of which were treated as big revelations in that game, but all of which she knew because they did all that on the Bottle Ship)
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
