So I've been getting really into the Metroid franchise recently, and I've recently thought about something. Aren't the Metroids extinct? How can the series go on cronalogically without the token Metroids? Then I thought about Fusion. Samus is infused with Metroid DNA now, right? What if Samus involentarily gives birth to the revival of the Metroid species? What if Samus flies to her home colony, only to wake up and realise that a Metroid has budded from her back while she slept or something. The metroid escapes, reproduces, and attacks the colony turning into a ghost town.
None of this may even happen. This is just my way of coping with the lack of quality metroid titles recently...

Technically, the Metroids have been extinct since the end of Super Metroid on the SNES...
|
No they haven't. *Metroid Fusion spoiler* Also, Super Metroid is the penultimate conological game in the series, so they weren't extinct for very long at all.
|
*Spoilers* Err.... The "metroid" was cloned. They've been extinct since before then.
|
So what if it was cloned? They stopped being extinct once they were cloned, therefore they weren't extinct in fusion.
|
But you admit that they were, in fact, extinct. Extinct after Super Metroid, right? The thread is asking if Samus Aran is the last Metroid. If the Metroids were wiped out in Super Metroid and yet we're getting Metroid titles even after Super Metroid, what makes anyone think Samus would ever be considered the "last" Metroid? That's the point I was trying to make.
|
The fact that most of the games that came out after Super take place cronilogically before Super, and in turn before their first extinction. The only two that take place after that, Fusion and... er... M.O.M... ugh..., had brought Metroids back through the cloning of Baby. Then they were completely whiped out by the explosions, SA-X, and Samus. That means they're extinct again, barring Samus who now has dormant Metroid DNA in her jeans thanks to the Fusion Suit.
|
Precisely!
|
...Then she is the last Metroid.

Let me just say this. Samus' home colony was destroyed when she was 3.

When I said home colony, I meant where she lives currently. Unless we're to assume that she just lives in her ship, which would be stupid.
