That could work... Now that I think about it there really is a ton of potential to make the Metroid franchise a much bigger seller; Nintendo just has yet to unlock it.
I think what Metroid needs is what Ganondorf is to Zelda and what Bowser is to Mario: an arch-nemesis for Samus. Sure Metroid Prime worked for Metroid Prime, but that series of games is over. Ridley has always been around, but I don't think Ridley could be the root of all evil icon that Metroid needs. Space Pirates can't really be this either as they are what they are called: pirates who want to plunder the universe. I don't find them evil enough, and they really don't have a leader.
I think a reboot should see the Space Pirates being led by some cunning ultra pirate, who has Ridley under his control. This leader, unlike the rest of the Space Pirates, has more than conquest on his mind: he's truly "evil", at least in the sense that Ganondorf or Bowser is.

Yeah, you're right there. Ridley does come over as a second in command. A new supervillan would be cool. They could give mother brain a body again, like other M, but then permanently. In a really menacing form then!
Since she would be a mix of computer/person, she would survive a lot of potential deaths at the end of each adventure. That's good for keeping the "evil" alive to threaten the universe. Like Ganon.

Exactly! That would make for a great reboot. Like I said, the potential for greatness the Metroid franchise can achieve only needs to be tapped by Nintendo.
