So... has your opinion changed about Metroid: Other M?

The story of the first Metroid got already rewritten with its remake, Zero Mission on the GBA. Samus is nothing like the greatest bounty hunter in the galaxy, instead it's her very first mission (hence the subtitle).

Beyond that, it has been said that the original translation of the first Metroid has wrongly described Samus Aran as a bounty hunter. That's another reason why the West has such a different perception of what Samus is meant to be. Not that this excuses what Sakamoto has done to the character. It seems he just adds whatever he wants whenever he wants.

Take Fusion for example: In one of Samus' inner monologues she talks about Adam as that was the first time she had to follow someone's orders. The second time being the computer in Fusion which is why she recalled Adam. But according to Other M's events the computer in Fusion must be the third time she is following orders. Sakamoto screws up his own story arc from one game to the other.

I never played Zero Mission.  That's ridiculous that they would rewrite the original and then use it as the basis for the another game in the franchise.  Metroid called Samus a "space hunter".  I'm not really sure what else they could have meant.  I wonder what it was supposed to be.  Nothing else really makes sense to me in context.

Sakamoto could really make things easier on himself if he stopped jumping around the timeline.  He seems to mix things up easily.
